His mom- His mom just- laughed. She laughed?! Why? Am I- Is it funny? To be me- with someone like him? Is it? Is it funny? I don't understand.
"Ma?!" Javeon looked at his mom, angry. He messed his hair up and adjusted his glasses. "Why are you laughing? Is something even funny?"
His mother finally stopped and sighed. "Sweetie, it's just- It's just that-"
Javeon cut her off, pissed. "It's just what?! You tell me!" He scoffed and massaged the bridge of his nose.
"You deserve better, Son." Javeon looked at her with furrowed brows. Confused and annoyed at the same time. "What I mean is, she's a Clavienta. Did you even think what kind of a girl is she? You don't even know. What if she's a spy to get rid of our companies? Huh?" His mom leaned to get her face closer to mine and squinted her eyes. "This girl is just not trustable." What the?
Who does she think she is?! I can't stand this anymore. I got my purse from the couch and walked away. Not far enough, I heard Javeon calling me and his mom, laughing. What is wrong with her?! Ugh!
He finally caught up to me and held my wrist. We're already at the parking lot. I went in the car immediately and put my seatbelt on, crossing my arms. "I wanna go home."
"Hey, Xera, Xera, Are you okay?" He asked after fidgeting at the driver's seat. He held my arm but I pulled it away. He tried to lean towards my seat, trying to see my face. "I'm sorry about Mom. I'm sure we can make this wo-"
"Make this work? Javeon? Really?" He was about to talk again but I cut him off. "Javeon you're- You're her son and you're just my-" He furrowed his brows and looked at me.
"Your what?!"
Silence.
"Your what? Xera?" He sounded so... desperate.
"My suitor." I closed my eyes heavily and turned away to the window.
"Wait wha- Didn't you just answered me earlier?! What is wrong with you?! Is it fun huh? Is it fun to play with me?"
"I told you Javeon. This WON'T work." He scoffed and just drove. He didn't talk to me the whole ride except when we finally arrived in front of our mansion.
"Xera, I'm your what again?" He frowned, expecting a different answer.
"You. Are. My. Suitor." I answered, coldly.
"Oh." His frowned turned into a sad smile. He looked at what's in front of the car and held the steering wheel with his both hands I can see his grip tightened. I got my purse, took off my seatbelt and I was going to get off the car but he then talked again.
"Don't expect me to fetch you again." I turned to him suddenly, shocked. I shook my head, scoffing. "And don't even call me your suitor. I-" He took a deep breathe and looked at me in the eyes. "I'm just your study partner from now on." He gestured his hand so I got off the car, not looking at him.
"What did you just say?! Javeon? Huh?!"
"This won't work right? Okay then, I won't even try to make it work because you also didn't." He messed his hair up, leaning his head on the seat.
I got off the car and slammed its door. I don't want him to see my tears falling.
"What an asshole. Who does he think he is?! Just stay there! With your mommy! Ugh I hate you!" I whispered to myself, looking down while walking to my room. I locked my self up. I scrolled through my phone but it was boring so I decided to take a shower. After that, I wore my pajamas even if it was still afternoon. I asked the helpers if they could bake or order me a cake. I always go eat cake when I'm sad maybe because that's what my father taught me.
-"See? Every time you want to cry, eat sweets." Dad looked at me while treating my wound. "It'll prevent your tears from falling sweetie. I don't want those pretty eyes crying."
"I miss Dad." I whispered to myself while wiping my tears. Finally I heard someone knocking at my door.
I opened the door, expecting it was my cake but instead, I saw Javeon. I closed the door immediately at his face and leaned on it, listening to what he's saying.
"Xera, please lets talk. I'm sorry. Open the door." He knocked again. "Please. I'm so sorry." I wiped my tears with the back of my hand and breathed. Deeply. I held my chin up, pretending like nothing happened before opening the door again. I saw him, frowning. "I'm- I'm sorry, Xera."
I felt my tears wanting to fall again and I can't help it. It fell. I covered my face with my hands but he tried pulling my wrist gently so he could see my face. "Why.." I said, with my trembling voice. "Why'd you do that?!" My voice got loud while my tears started falling and falling while I'm wiping it continuously with my hands.
"I know, I know. I'm so sorry." He held the back of my head and started stroking my hair while I'm still covering my face. He tried to look at me but he couldn't because of me looking down. ""I- I'll ask you this again:" He sighed and leaned at the wall beside my door before turning to me again. "May I court you, again, Xera?" He frowned and held both of my hands.
"No." I took my hands off from his and looked away.
"H-huh? I'm so sorry. Please give me a chance to court you agai-"
"No." I repeated. He just nodded without looking at me. He put his hands on his pockets and was about to walk away but I spoke again, caused to stop him from walking and turning to me again. "Be my boyfriend, Javeon."
