"What happened between you and Jessica?" He suddenly asked as they sat in the living room watching the TV set before them. She turned to look at him taking a slice of apple in her mouth.
"Nothing.....did she say something?"
"You sound like you're lying"He said to her not hiding the fact that he knew she was telling a lie.
"Nothing happened.... I didn't do what I wasn't supposed to do"
"Really?" He raised an eyebrow in question. "When you walked out on her after asking your name? What was that about?"
"I was going to apologize to her...." He cut her off immediately.
"You were?" As if knowing she was lying,he asked. Diana apologizing after being rude didn't seem like the Diana he knew.
"Okay...I lied...I was never planing on apologizing but I would have kept my mouth shut if she stopped talking."
"Jessica is older than you"
"I do not care...."
"Diana..."
"She called me rude....I know I'm rude but did she have to say it?...and then, she said I got no home training....next time,if she says something bad about me, believe me when I say she's not gonna like the name 'DIANA' "
Meanwhile, Xavier just bore a sloped smile on his face as he watched her.
"I know you think I'm making empty threats but just so you can know, I am fucking serious" As if knowing he was not taking her seriously, she said to him as she shoved a slice of apple into his mouth.
"I'm sure they must really fear you at school" He said to her as he chewed down the apple.
"Isn't that what make me sexy?" She caught him off guard with her line.
Xavier almost choked on his apple when he heard her. If he was drinking water,he would have choked on the water.
He tried to hold in the laughter hanging on his throat but he couldn't and the next second, a chuckle erupted.
"Shit!!! You're laughing....you think me being sexy is funny?"
"No,No,No... certainly not" he said trying to keep a straight face so she wouldn't think he was laughing at her but it failed him as he bursted into laughter again.
"Ohmagad!!! You really think it's funny?"
"No...I don't think that"
"So why are you laughing?"
"Nothing..."
"I don't believe you...but fuck that, I'm going to a party tomorrow"
"Is Diana taking permission from me?"
"What does it look like Mr babysitter?"
"When is the party?"
"Eight"
"Will I be spiteful if I say no?"
"Very... C'mon, it isn't my thing to take permission"
"And it's certainly not my thing to let you go to a party by eight"
"Please...."
"You can go"
"That's all I needed to hear...thank you"
"Is it like a teenager thing to throw parties?" He asked as he stared at her happy face.
"Yup... I was planning on throwing one my dad's property while he was away...but I got unlucky" Xavier smiled upon hearing her.
"You didn't throw parties during high school?" She asked him.
"If I said no, would you believe me?"
"It's a big fucking 'NO'!!!"
"Why?"
"Because you are bad boy material... I mean you look like those boys who were the life of a party"
"Well... I actually threw a party which got me grounded for a month"
"Ouch"
"And I got invited to a whole lot of parties...like the one that almost got me arrested"
"Cool....and not cool... Why did you almost get arrested?"
"Turns out one of my best friend's haters reported him to the cops that he organized an illegal party... but later on, it was sorted out and that got me grounded for six months"
"Shit!!!...you did not tell me your tenagehood was this interesting"
"You thinking being grounded for a whole year is interesting?"
"You got grounded for a whole year?"
"Almost...."
" Man!!! Your daddy was strict"
"Yes,He was.... but above all, he taught me that tenagehood isn't all about parties or clubs or dating, it's also about your books and your future"
"Good night Mr babysitter"She stood up ready to set off already knowing where he was driving the subject to but he dragged her back to sit on the couch...
"How's math on your side?"
"Splendid"
"Really? Should I test you?"
"No..let's skip the testing part....let's get to the part where you tell me about your teenagehood"
"How about I tell you why you're going to be a failure if you don't study?" He told her with a scornful smile. Diana bit her lips at his words.
"I will go get my books" she dashed upstairs to her room. Now he was making her feel like a failure... What was his problem???
