Chereads / Marriage Deal / Chapter 13 - 13

Chapter 13 - 13

Calvina

I was cooking in the kitchen with Andrew preparing lunch after my incident with Xavier.

Andrew:So what's going on between you and Xavier?

Calvina: Nothing Drew.

Andrew: Well that's not what I saw Cal. What is going on?

Calvina: He's having trouble with his mother. You do know that she doesn't like Brad for being gay right.

Andrew: I do. What happened? Did she do anything?

Calvina: Emotional blackmail. She tried it on Xavier. She told him he is a disappointment and she will never accept Brad as her son. She wants their company.

Andrew: She can't do that! Especially to Brad. Is she really their mother?

Calvina: Yes. I helped him get a restraining order for her. And if she so much as goes against it I will gladly put her behind bars for life.

Andrew: I'm with you on this Cal. But what with this attitude I never seen you like this. You're helping him all of a sudden.

Calvina: Andrew is not what you think. I'm helping him because he's dad's friend's son. I don't want dad to feel like I didn't try to help or something like that.

Andrew: You're not telling me something Cal I can see it.

Calvina: What do you want to know?

Andrew: You and Xavier. What's up? I know something happened okay so you better spill the beans.

Calvina: Nothing happened okay. What you saw was an accident so erase it from your memory.

Andrew: Already stored and you can't do a thing about it dearie.

Calvina: Andrew I'm telling you nothing happened.

Andrew: And I'm also saying I don't care what you say. You're lying through your teeth.

Calvina: Andrew!

Rose: I also want to know Cal.

I turned and saw Rose standing in the doorway with her arms folded.

Calvina: Oh come on not you too.

Rose: Duh you were behaving weird last night. Why won't I ask.

Andrew: See. Come on spill it. Now Calvina.

I looked between the two of them then decided to say in a cool manner that I could conjure. Calvina:Iandxavirekissedlastnightwhrnhewasdrunk.

I looked at them to see their reaction but they remained quiet and just stared at each other like I've gone mad.

Calvina: Hey what's wrong? I know it wasn't my fault but...

Andrew: Hold it. You kissed him? And I didn't know. I'm now knowing this now.

Calvina: Drew listen....

Rose: No you listen. I'm happy for you.

Calvina: I know... Wait. What?

Andrew: So I'm I. You finally have feelings for him don't you tiger.

Calvina: No I don't. These are just mixed feelings. I still see him as James. I don't know why but I do.

Andrew: Oh come on. He's gone Cal. Let him go. You're giving me a headache with him.

Rose: James would really love you to move on you know. He loves you and will love to see you happy.

Calvina: Its hard to move on. I want to try but I can't. I don't want to betray James.

Andrew: The irony. You aren't betraying anyone. You are rather allowing him to rest in peace.

Calvina: Okay then. I'll give it a try.

They both hugged me as I decided to give it a try. I knew in my heart that it was time to let the past go. I smiled then went back to preparing supper.

Brad

I got back from work so tired. I had to do both Xavier and I work together. I was so tired and my back hurt from sitting too much so did my legs. I was walking up the stairs when I saw Andrew standing in front of my door. I smiled when I saw him and tried to act cool like I'm not excited to see him.

Brad: Andrew what a surprise. Do you need anything?

Andrew: I need to talk to you. Can we?

Brad: Yeah sure. Let's go inside.

I led him inside my room closing the door behind us wondering what he wanted to say. I sat on my bed and he sat on the couch facing me.

Brad: So um.....what did you want to talk about?

Andrew: Your mum. Grace. She called Xavier this morning.

Brad: Oh and what did she say? The same old thing right? I can't believe it why did she call him again?

Andrew: Brad calm down.

Brad: No the only thing Xavier did wrong was supporting me and covering up for me when I went out with guys. Why can't she accept that?

Andrew: Its okay Brad. Cal already got a restraining order for her. If she does something as to go against it. I'm sorry but I'm helping Cal put her in jail for abuse.

I looked at him in awe and smiled. How did I get lucky to have someone like him in my life.

Andrew: What is it Brad?

Brad: Wondering how I got lucky with someone like you.

Andrew: Oh.....I'm not that perfect Brad.

Brad: So? You are the only one I've showed interest in that isn't scared of my mum. You're even ready to throw her in jail.

Andrew: She deserves it. She's a bitch. Sorry about that.

Brad: Don't worry you can carry on.

I smiled at him before leaning in and kissed him on the cheek. I watched him become flustered a bit and decided to change tactics I knew he would like so much. I smirked and started stripping in front of him.
