It was now late September. It's been a whole week since the fight night with Atheo. The guys had fight night last night leaving all of them still going with records strong. They we're actually all at down at the ring getting their pay for the last couple of weeks and submitting their log hours so Noah could give it to the front desk and sign off on everyone. Eric, Lexi, and Marie were out finding something to wear to Lexi's office charity banquet. It was mainly just use to circulate new potential clients while looking good at giving back to the community. This year they we're donating to the cancer society.
"So what do you guys think about this one she twirled in a red dress that was opened in the back and straps that came up on her shoulders, following and hugging her curves as close as a lover could while still looking completely elegant. "Damn you got a great ass. All that walking around doing you some justice love bug." Eric said while giving her a thumbs up. "Thank you boo. I love it I'm taking this one. Wait where is she; damn is she still in there? Jessie would you bring that ass out so we can see you." Lexi asked. "Ok fine, fine I'm coming out." She said with a sigh.
Jess walked in a dark royal blue halter dress that had a sweet heart shape around her chest, a halter type support around her neck and fitted each curve with two splits on each side of her leg that came up to begging thigh so it would twirl gracefully while dancing. It made her eyes pop beautifully. "SO what do you think it's it too dark for me, should I go with a simpler white or black color?" Eric, and Lexi just starred at her. "I think I just turned gay." Lexi said still starring at her. "I think I just turned straight." Eric said. "You have to get it, please you will make everyone so jealous including me; and my boss will love me more because I brought beautiful people." Lexi said.
"Your boss is already over the moon for you because you told him you bringing your famous rich boyfriend and his famous rich friends to a charity function that will be in every paper and magazine he can get his hands into. Including the sought after Jessenia Alderman treats." Eric said laughing at her. "I still can't believe or get over the fact your boss knows my treats." Jessie said. It was an awkward moment when Lexi boss came down from Atheo one day and Jessie was dropping off a bag of pastries. Being a small town every one knew of Ms. Ellie shop.
However Mr. Edward Johnson was being introduced to Jes by Lexi his face fell. "You. You are Jessenia Alderman. Didn't you work at Craves restaurant in Atheo?" "Yes sir I was head chef there few months back. He reached out and hugged her tight. "You have no idea how much you terribly missed back home my child. My wife and I adored your food. People are still calling for you. What's this?" he said looking down at the bag in her hands. "Oh I work at the bakery here in town, and I was just dropping off some little goodies to my Lexi here. Some pastries, muffin, couple of cream puffs and eclairs." Jes said shrugging. "Really?!" Mr. Johnson would you like some Jes always brings extras for those around the office? There's no way I could finish them all why don't you take them back home to Kira?" Lexi asked. "
"Are you sure I don't want to take away your gift." HE said eyes hopeful of finally getting a fix to a craving he hasn't been able to fix. "Oh please Eddie, I get this stuff every morning indulge your self." Lexi said. She was close to her boss. He took her under his wing like his own kid, seeing her potential and hard work. "Alright than kiddo." He took the éclair and moaned in happiness. "That is even better than what I remember oh Kira will be so happy she misses your food desperately. You know the banquet is not far away what would it take for you to cater the treats?" "Well you would have to go down and talk to Ms. Ellie about all that. She is actually there now making a list for the things we need for orders. I would love to help you as ong as you clear it through her. You know you can always tell Lexi whenever you and the Mrs. get the sweet tooth I have no problem sending them up your way. It's only what two-three hours with heavy traffic?" Jessenia said.
"Are you sure it would be no bother? Of course no Mr. Johnson." "Call me Eddie young one and I will hold you to that. I expect you to be there on the night of, if you excuse me I'm off down the street to talk to that Ms. Whitman." Eddie said taking Lexi's treats and heading off the door leaving the girls to laugh. "You're still famous there months after you leave people are starting to seek you out. Imagine the restaurant you could have again." Nope only cook food like that for family and friends. I love to work and sell baked goods only." Jess said flatly pointing at her as they laughed and finished off her lunch getting a burger down the street.
"I still can't believe he's more excited to see you than the five famous fighters and the friends they told about this event according to Noah and his big mouth he got a head count of at least fifty five fighters coming all who have been itching to spend money on a good cause, and a fun night out to take their wives and girlfriends so this whole evening is putting them in good with them. A lot of these guy shave lost a lot of family already to cancer or have some who are still suffering so it really hit home when Noah casually laid out his plans for us and this event. That boy could probably end wars with his smooth ass talking skills." Eric said. The girls laughing with him. "Ok well let's go get our hair done, and go back and finish getting ready were meeting the guys there we have limo coming to take us there about an hour away and they are picking us up at mine in an hour. SO chop chop." Lexi said.
They were dressed and got there about five minutes late after the door has opened and right when they got in the door Some of the members in Lexis office came rushing up to her. "OH MY GOD Lexi how did you get these guys here? How the hell do you even know all of them" A male coworker asked excited." "Who Lenny?" Lexi asked tossing her hair back. "Them." Lenny said point at about fifty five famous fighters and wrestler dressed in their bests with beautiful dates on their arms laughing enjoying themselves. "Hey baby over." A familiar voice said. Only to have Axel, Noah, Ryder, Jaxon, and Xavier coming up with huge deep smiles on their faces clearly having a great time with their friends they don't get to see too often from other towns.
"You guys look incredible. You girls are going to start making the others start to feel self conscious shame on you. You should feel bad looking this good," Axel said kissing her deeply. Lenny just starring as a couple of other guys from the office stood there shocked fan boy drooling. "You look amazing baby." Xavier said holding Jessie tight to him starting to feel protective looking at the weird dudes in front of them. "Thank you, you look very tall dark and handsome tonight. You working that blue baby." She purred back making him growl a little bit.
"Eric and Noah wee wrapped up in each other. "You guys all look so great. Really the true eye candy for the evening." Jess said making them all look at each other and blush. "Thank you baby girl we know. You could have told us you were the one who made all the treats and goodies hell that alone is half the reason all those guys especially them women are hear and that's no lie, that's what we've been listening to over it was like listening to loud public food porn." Ryder said. "For real girl it starting to get a weird type of freaky with your food we so glad you here so we can walk away." Jaxon said shaking his head. "I think you more famous than all of us baby." Xavier said. Placing a sweet kiss on her lips.
"Oh you guys are still here? OK well Why don't you guys meet some of my coworkers. Lenny, Richard, Jared, and Isaac they are the crew that works right under me. Guys this is Jaxon, Ryder, Noah, Xavier and my boyfriend Axel." "BOYFRIEND?!! The Axe is your boyfriend" Richard asked. "Dude we are so excited to meet you we never miss a home fight." Isaac said shaking all their hands. "Could we get a picture with you guys?" Jared asked. "Man my favorite fight was the one of all you guys last year in Las Vegas that one was shown globally, when you all told the main MMA organization to shove their offer. Best one ever." Richard said. The rest of the agreeing. "You know they still call Beast here up begging like a desperate woman looking for a bone." Noah added. As the guys gathered around the four boys for pictures.
Jes, Eric, and Lexi looked at each other. They knew the guys were a hot commodity but not this famous, and here hiding away from all the crazy people just so they could be themselves. Looking around the room the rest of the famous fighters were taking pictures with other fans who begged. "Lexi you are a mastermind this years silent auction is already almost finished and there's hardly anything left. A lot of those rich bitches are getting pissy that the wives to the savage fighters are getting everything. Jealous little twitches are just jealous." Kira Johnson said who loved Lexi like a daughter. "Oh my god it is you. Jessenia Alderman You have no idea how long it took me to track down your parents one which was very rude looking for you. You have no idea how big you made my heart smile with those treats you sent us last week and the ones here today. Everyone who's any one is here falling in love with them all over again it's fantastic." Kira said hugging both girls. "Come my love leave the kids be and come dance with me. It'll be over soon. Have a great time and thank all of you really it means a lot to so many." Eddie said shaking hands for everyone around.
The group finished talking with a bunch of approaching fans. Until Axel and Xavier saw Dimitri and Mateo looking lustfully at the amazing woman in their arms. They were actually only maybe not even twenty steps away. The girls haven't noticed the Atheo crew, but the guys have. "Well, well look at this vision of elegance." An annoying familiar voice said leaving Jessie and Lexi to look at each other with cringe. "If it isn't Alexia Moore, and Jessenia Alderman. Haven't seen you girls in ages how are you?" Chloe said getting closer to the group of guys with Ashly and Natalie next to her side. Who were all looking at the guys like they could lick them up and down. "Well aren't you going to introduced us to your friends." "Why would we do that?" Jessie asked her. "Oh come on now we're all friends here right?" CHloes said faking being nice in a way she knew how to do so well. Both girls being sick of it decided enough was enough and decided it was time to just stay true, and real so they decided to finally let them have it on their own turf." "Have you finally slept with all of Atheo you're finally making your way down south." Lexia sked in a sweet fake voice, with Axel pulling on her whispering in her ear to play nice hands wrapped around her waist.
Xavier arms tightened around Jess he did not like these girls. Chloe giving Lexi a nasty glare. "It's good to see you guys we've missed you." Natalie said looking kind of sad. "I highly doubt that. Knowing how you three really are we know you keep busy? So Ashley how's Natalie dad?" Lexi asked. "Why would you ask me and not her?" Ashley asked looking with a weird look in her eye. "Guys in case you didn't know Atheo is filled fake back stabbing shady bitches and here are three of them please meet Chloe Palmer was who nice enough to sleep with Dimitri for months behind my back, while still sleeping with the other half of the business class." Jessie said with a sweet voice and a smile. "I would also like to introduce you to Natalie Bomien and Ashley Moore who knew the whole time and didn't want to tell us because apparently that would have caused problems, so they would rather lie and keep secrets." Lexi said. "That's not true we didn't lie I have never lied to any one." Ashely snapped back while all three girls looked mortified. They guys looked at them disgusted and so did those who were eavesdropping. "Really, well honestly that warms my heart to know you no longer have no secrets from each other because I've been wondering since we left just how Natalie took the news of you sleeping with her dad. That was one situation I was sure could have rocked the boat just a little. Glad to know you guys have gotten through that hurdle." Lexi said patting Ashley on the shoulder.
"She did what? Did you seriously sleep with my dad? You guys all knew, and never told me?" "Well no this is the first Jessie found out. Chloe told me the day before we found out she very close friends to Dimitri. I just remembered that you guys said how important it was to keep a promise until that said person was ready to tell, but luckily Ashley said she doesn't keep secrets from her real friends. Unless that it's self was a lie?" Lexi asked covering her chest as she was shocked by the fact she's was a liar. "You slept with my dad? What the hell is wrong with you, you're suppose to be my friend. How could you do this to me?" Natalie asked getting angry. "Natalie calm down it's not like you to get so worked up. It's not like you haven't told her about all the times the guys who came up asking for her number and you told them she was a closeted lesbian who was also bipolar so you could ask the out instead." Lexi added with a smile.
"You told people I was a bi polar lesbian? Why would you do that to me you know how much I like some of those guys and you were so caught up in your own damn jealousy you couldn't let me be happy with one guy?" Ashely roared. Gathering some attention. "You really are crazy if you think I'm even a little jealous of you." Natalie said. "Ya well you let everyone know just how crazy I am. That's alright since you were so busy keeping all the men away from me, we learned one thing form this and that is daddy likes crazy." Ashely said as she threw here drink in Natalie's face, and storming out of the banquet hall. Natalie glared at everyone and left to the bathroom.
"That was a quite a show, that was a low ball move even for you to make Lex. Anyways I need to go I see some one who I know for a fact loves my attention." Chloe said making eye contact with Dimitri who glared at her. "Ya well you know what they say cheap things always get more attention." Jaxon said making Chloe turn red with anger and embarrassed. "Let's say you put your damn claws away for a few minutes and stop embarrassing the other easy women, and come dance with me." Axel said as Noah and Eric already beat them to the dance floor. Ryder and Jaxon still laughing at what just happened. "Come on baby." Xavier said pulling JEs to the dance floor. "Where we going?" She said with a bright smile. "I'm going to spin you around that dance floor, making every man jealous I get to dance with the most beautiful woman here." HE said pulling her up to him as he put one of his loose curls behind her ear. Following him to the dance floor getting lost in the feeling of just the two of them in their own little world.
Xavier could still feel the daggers being thrown in his back by Dimitri. Mateo and Dimitri looking at each other feeling very pist off about not being able to be with the people they wanted. "Don't look know bro, here comes trouble." Gio said taking a drink of his long Island ice tea. Confused Dimitri looked up to see Chloes undressing him with her eyes. "Good evening guys. Dimitri it's good to see you. It's been a little bit you look great. I wish I would have known you were coming I was hoping to come together." Chloe said. Trying to rub a hand across Dimitri's arms.
"Ya I know that's why I never answered or call you back any of the thousands messages you have sent. Figured someone who was as college educated at as yourself would be smart to read a fucking a hint." Dimitri said flatly with a hint of malice looking at Jessie ignoring her. "Well I just understand how busy you are and how I know you needed some time after that big unfortunate mess came about. I also know that you can lie to a lot of people D maybe even yourself I now how much you still want me. All those times before there was always something deeper between us that not even you can fight." "Ya it was deeper the first four damn times were what roofies you had to slip into my damn drink because you knew I couldn't stand you when I was sober. I still can't stand you know Chloe and do not call me D."
"Well I do know it take at least two people to cheat and you didn't seem to mind the other couple times when you were sober. I understand you're upset about how things happened, but it needed to happen. She did deserve to know the truth. You we're going to ask her to marry you what made you so sure she would have even have said yes? How could you be so unfair to yourself? You love me and your just to scared to admit it. You wouldn't have been with me so easily if that wasn't true." Chloe snarled at him.
"I love Jessenia more than anything walking this Earth. I would sell you and scrap you for parts if she needed so much a nail transplant without a blink of an eye. You are not even on my radar. If you believe half the crap you keep telling yourself someone must love you because they slept with you that's a pretty exclusive club there Chloe. Your damn loose ass pussy needs to be added to the tour guide of the city since everyone else has already seen it. Nothing about you is special. You try to tare down people, call them out in their flaws like you think you so fucking perfect because deep down even you know your nothing but a pathetic, worthless, dirty ass slut. I don't love you. I never will. I never want to see or here form you again and if you ever send me another nude and I'll be sure to have that shit leaked out an da copy mailed to your parents in my restraining order stay the FUCK AWAY from me!" Dimitri said pushing her back a little by her arm, causing a little bursing having her whimper a bit. Gaining everyones attention a little bit including Jessies and Xavier's crew. Dimitri took his and walked back to the bar.
"Ms. Palmer I'm afraid I'm going to have ask you to retire for the evening. This is the second scene you have helped cause tonight, and several other men have asked us to ask you t o remember to keep your distance. This is a public charity event, not a rave dance club for you to rub yourself on anyone you see with money. So please gather whatever decency or self respect you may have left and take your leave. A little modesty next time too coming to a gala event. There are still a couple who don't want to see your chest." Kira Johnson said with two security guards to help her out. Chloe turning red with embarrassment left without saying another word.
"Are you about ready to leave?" Jess asked all the guys? "Ya baby, we just got to go than the other guys for coming out real quick so how about we just meet you three outside?" " Sounds great." Eric said. The guys walked over a couple feet to say good bye to all the other fighters who came out. Jes, Eric, and Lexi were standing around out front near the guys cars laughing about the evening they just had. Until they heard a shuffling behind them on the other side of the parking lot. It was Gio, Tony and Leo helping a buzzed slightly drunk Mateo, and Dimitri to the car they all drove in together. "Oh huh, hey guys. How you doing? I'm sorry for all the noise and mess you see before you." Tony said being the sweetheart he's always been. "No it's fine just make sure you guys all get home safe." Jess said.
The three guys came over real quick to grab a hug and a kiss to each of the girls forehead and even bro hugged Eric. "Just wanted to let you lovely party people know you we're most definitely the most beautiful people here. Especially Eric." Leo said playfully. Making them all laugh. "Trust I know bitch I'm fabulous." Eric flipping his incredibly short hair. They all laughed deeper. "We miss this, but we understand, so I was wondering if you guys wouldn't mind if maybe the three of us would sneak down there to you guys maybe once in a blue moon?" Tony asked. "Well you are always welcomed. We do miss you guys too. We have no issues with you but I know how close you guys are and how important you are to him so he need you more ya know." Jes said. Without knowing anything different a calmed Dimitri whose eyes are filled with tears is in front of Jes. Looking up at him she gets a little scared. No one watching Xavier and the rest of the guys walking up behind them getting closer. Picking up speed in their steps when they see what's going on.
Taking a step backwards away from Dimitri. He flings himself on her in a hug being twice her height and weight it was hard for her to stay steady. HE was holding her close and tight crying on her. "I'm so sorry Jessie. I know I fucked everything up. I just can't let you go. I love you. You have no idea how much I need you baby. Nothing is the same without you. It's like you took every little bit of light in my life with you when you walked out on me. Please just come home. I will spend the rest of my life making sure your glad you did. I can give you the world to your feet you need only to ask. Please I love you so much Jess just please take me back. HE said sobbing all over her.
Xavier came and grabbed him and yanked him off. "Get the fuck off her." Xavier growled. "Y'all better get your boy." Ryder told the rest of the guys. "Baby you ok?" Xavier asked looking over her. "Just a little sore on my back. He's a bit bigger than me." She said with a small giggle trying to lighten the mood. "Tony please just get him home and out of here. We can just all forget this little scene if he doesn't remember in the morning no need to tell him. I just want us all to go and get home safely." JEs said looking around. "YOU got boss. I'm sorry if he scared you, but know he would never hurt you. We would never let it get that far." Gio said. As they got Mateo and Dimitri walking back to the car. Glaring at the men who's arms were wrapped around the women they loved.
"You sure you're ok?" Noah asked. "YA let's just go home please." "Ok baby here let me help you." They all piled in their cars and made their way home. Walking up the front door. "SO that was an interesting night, how long were you girls waiting to let loose on them girls tonight?" Xavier asked. "Well you know we used to have to go to these kinds of things all the time mainly hosted by one of their parents or their boss, since so many people were interested in us Lexi because she high ladder of success rates as the newest youngest hot shot lawyer, I guess I don't suck with the cooking degree my mom thought was a wasted time since everyone was always seeking me out to use me for their parties like you saw tonight. The other girls they are just secretaries for the in their parents companies they each got a degree in business but have no idea what their doing. They pretty much slept with the Professor and the dean to pass. They are just looking for the right husband so they don't have to work." She said as they got up to the front dooe. Anyway they would always get so mad at us because we knew deep down they were jealous, and just wanted a little attention too so they went out of their way to politetly put us down in public anything we might have been insecure about they would public announced and than cry asking what they did wrong to make us mad at them everyone would give us these hateful glares, while they gave us a smug smirk. When they approached us tonight we were just so sick of their dumb ass shameful games so instead of calling them out like we would have we just took a page out of their little book not going to lie it felt a little nice having it done back to them." Jessie said.
"Ya but I saw that look you still felt a little bad." Xavier said. "It wasn't that I felt bad. I was just upset I was friends with those people so long. They are just so toxic. I'm glad they are out of it." He leaned down and hugged her kissing her deeply. "You sure you're ok with Moretti thing?" "I am over him, I am fine. I just wish he would stop. It's uncomfortable. It scared me a little how he acted tonight, being so aggressive with Chloe and the bruises he left on back from holding me so tight. I love you Xavier." She said kissing him again. "Will you please stay with me?" She asked a little shook up hugging him while he rested his chin on her head. "I wasn't going anywhere baby." He said lifting her chin. "Come on let's get inside and put a little ice on the bruises. Mother fucker lucky he's still walking." Xaiver said as he growled locking the door behind them. Placing all her things on the counter. She walked back to change.
Xavier made sure everything was locked up when her phone rang. "Baby could you get that and tell whoever it is I'll call them back tomorrow it's such a long night I don't want to talk to anyone right now." "Alright sweetheart." Looking down at her phone he took a deep breath and considering letting it got to voicemail, but he did promise to answer so might as well get this over with. "Hello." HE said as nicely as he could. "Oh I'm sorry I think I have the wrong number." She said quickly. Oh no Mrs. Alderman you have the right number, I mean if your calling for Jessie anyway." HE said as there was along pause.
"Why are you answering my daughter's phone." She asked getting a little angry. "Well she is changing for bed right now and has asked me to tell you that she will call you tomorrow." HE said biting his tongue trying to be nice. "If Jessie is getting ready for bed than why are you still there Are you the guy who's dating my daughter?" "Yes, ma'am I'm Xavier Graves."
"I know who you are. You may have seem to won over my husband and daughter but I am not so easy to impress and too be honest I don't care for you. I don't want you wit Jessie. I have a feeling that this is just a phase and in time will pass. Whether she's doing this too get even with me or Dimitri I'm not sure yet, but I am convinced that this will pass. So be sure to tell her to call me tomorrow." "You know what Mrs. Alderman. I am not some phase she is going through. We are actually happy together, and if that bothers you this bad, than seems too only be your issue and I wish you well with over coming it. You see I a was hoping to be able to get along with you, Or at least have civil conversation but after listening to the way you talk to Jessie and well literally everyone else. I am convinced you don't understand what the word civil means. I know you like to go out of your way to point out everything wrong about Jessie to make her feel bad, but that's why she has me to make her feel good about herself. Someone who loves and support just because one of her parents doesn't understand how. SO you have yourself a good night you'll just have to crap on your daughters day tomorrow she's had enough tonight goodbye." He hung the phone and turned it off.
"Hey baby you coming? Was that important?" "No babe that wasn't important. Come on I need cuddles and have this day just be over." HE said picking her up wrapping her arms around his neck and her legs around his waist as he took them back to the room, to rest up for whatever crap storm would head their way tomorrow.
