Xavier
Alone with Calvina in the house was what I always wanted and now I have it. I don't want to ruin this for her. If it wasn't because of my mother's issue I would have made my move already. I was watching her do some work on the her laptop in the dinning room. I was looking at the way she frowned when she was trying to concentrate on her work. She looked attractive while working. She sighed and finally closed the laptop and stretched herself before turning to me.
Xavier: Any problem?
Calvina: A little but its okay now.
Xavier: Alright. Look Cal you don't have to help me with my mum. I can handle it.
Calvina: Yeah with a bottle of alcohol. Come on Xavier you have to do this so that you will be free. Look I'm going to cook something. What do you want?
Xavier: Well.... Anything will do.
Calvina: Good. You're going to love this.
I watched her go into the kitchen to prepare something for us to eat. I received a phone call and answered without checking the caller ID.
Xavier: Hello?
Grace: Hello son. How are you? I haven't heard from you after our little talk. Have you gone into hiding?
Xavier: What do you want now Grace?
Grace: Oh don't act dumb. I don't know how your father made you CEO of the company. I should have been the CEO.
Xavier: Why are you behaving like this mum? You are different from ho I knew you.
Grace: I'm not a weakling like your father. I would not say I'm going to accept your brother too. The both of you are a disgrace to me.
I was about to say something when the phone was taken out of my hand. I turned to see Calvina holding my phone against her ear.
Calvina: Hello Mrs. Stone. Its such a pleasure to hear from you. I just want to inform you my lawyer will soon be at your door with a restraining order for you. And I will kindly advice you to stay away from Xavier, Brad and their father do you hear me.
She ended call did somethings on the phone before handing it to me with a bored expression.
Calvina: Here you go. I have blocked her number so no more unnecessary calls from that psychopath.
Xavier: Thanks Cal. Why did you do that? You really are helping us especially Brad. Mum will ruin his relationship with Andrew at all costs.
Calvina: Yeah I know. That's why the restraining order is there if she goes against it I will gladly put her behind bars.
I smiled at her and she smiled back. I looked at the dinning table to see it empty and looked at her in confusion. She also looked at me then registered it.
Calvina: Oh you're wondering why I'm here? Well I came to ask you for help with the flour. I can't reach it.
Xavier: Alright. Let's go.
I followed her to the kitchen and she showed me where the flour was. To be honest it was really high but I could reach it if I stood on the tip of my toes. So I did just that then I hit the flour which came falling on me. I was covered in white from head to toe. I looked at Calvina and managed a small smile.
Xavier: I got the flour down.
She looked at me up and down and burst out laughing.
Calvina: Wow Xavier you look like a huge snowman.
Xavier: Whatever. Let me get this flour out of my eyes.
I moved to the sink to wash my face but I couldn't see my way.
Calvina: Silly. Let me help you.
She held my hand and led me to the sink and helped me wash my face. She gave me a towel to clean my face. After that I thanked her and wanted to leave but I tripped and fell pulling Calvina with me.
Xavier: I'm so sorry Cal.
Calvina: Its okay don't worry.
I was this close to kissing her. I wanted to do it. Every being in my body was on fire for her. I was moving close to her then a voice sounded behind us.
Andrew: Is there a problem down there? Cal are you okay? You too Xavier.
Calvina: No there's no problem at all we just fell.
Andrew: Okay then. Cal can I talk to you?
Calvina: Sure. Xavier can you move so I can get up.
Xavier: Okay. I'll go to my room to get this flour off me. See you later Andrew.
Andrew: Okay bye.
I left the kitchen and went to my room for a quick shower and come down for lunch.
