12 Chapter 13

~Victoria's POV

I wake up to some loud trucks outside. I stretch my arms and yawn. I look beside me and see that Xavior is not in bed with me. I look for my phone and find it on the dresser next to the bed, it's already noon, jeez I must have been really tired.

I see next to where my phone was, a note was plastered on the dresser.

Had to go to work, you can do whatever you want today but only if you tell me. I texted your mother and Jessica to come over to spend the day with you. I'll be back in a couple of hours

Xavior.

I look over to the window and see the moving trucks as well as Jessica pulling up behind. I rush downstairs to go greet her as well as my mother.

I jump down the stairs and open the door for them. They look around in awe when they see the interior of the house. They walk in and we head to the living room.

My mother is the first to speak up. "Wow this place is absolutely gorgeous, I'm jealous" she ends off chuckling.

Helga, that I've come to know, comes in with trays of breakfast for us. I get up quickly to help her. " Thank you dear, but I can manage" she says while walking past me.

She places the food down on the table and walks out again. After a few minutes of chatting Jessica and my mother looks behind me. I turn around to see the same girl from last night. Xavior's sister

She greets us shyly. I politely ask her to join us so that she doesn't feel left out or alone. She happily agrees and goes to my mother.

"Hi there, my name is Alice, I'm Xavior's baby sister" she greets my mother by shaking her hand. My mother takes it and greets her back.

"Well hello there dear, my name is Emily and I'm Victoria's mother and this is Jessica, Victoria's best friend. You have the most beautiful blue eyes I've ever seen. " my mother compliments

"Oh thank you Emily, but these are unfortunately contact lenses. I have brown eyes, I get it from my farther." she explains we all nod in understanding.

After they are done greeting, Alice sits on the couch with me and we all engage in a conversation. A few minutes into the conversation Alice suggests an idea. "How about we go to the mall for lunch and shopping?"

My mother and Jessica squeals at the idea and I can't help but laugh at their childish behavior. Everyone agrees and I get up first before speaking. "Okay I'm going to get ready and I'll meet you guys down here in about 20 minutes."

They all nod and Alice offers to give them a tour of the house while they wait for me. I rush upstairs to get ready. When I'm in my room, I head straight for the bathroom. There I do all my necessary duties.

I walk out of the bathroom to go in the closet, only to realize my clothes aren't here, great. I sigh and think about what I'm going to do.

A knock interrupts my thoughts. I hear one of the maids speak from the other side of the closed door. "Excuse me Mam, I have your clothes here for you if you need it." I open the door to see a maid in her early 20's holding a box that says "Victoria's clothes"

I take the box from her and thank her, she bows her head and walks off. I walk over to the other room so that I make that my room since the idea of sleeping next to Xavior every night is starting to freak me out.

When I reach the opposite side of the hallway and reach the room, I turn the knob to find the room locked. What the hell? I'm going to have to speak to him about this. I pick up the box and walk back to his room.

I decide on what outfit that I'll be wearing. After three minutes of just rummaging through my clothes, I decide on a gray jersey and a mini black pencil skirt with a slit on the front of my thigh.

I put on my black heels to match with the skirt.

I release my hair from its braid and it causes soft curls. I leave my hair just as it is and put on minimum make up.

When I'm done I head back downstairs to meet with the girls. I find them all in the living room, talking to each other. Jessica is the first to notice me. "Dang girl, you hot as fuck"

My mother cringes at the language, but chuckles. Alice and I laugh at Jessica while she apologizes for her foul language. We all head out and find a driver in the drive way waiting for us.

We all hop in and start our trip to the mall. The drive was filled with jokes and laughter. I had shed a few tears because of how hard I laughed. As the laughter dies down, my mother turns to me and speaks up.

"So when do you write your finals sweetie?" she asks referring to my studies. I reply to her " I start in two weeks. I get this week off so that I can study, after I'm done i can finally graduate and find a job" I end of saying.

Jessica speaks up and raises her hand as if she's holding a champaign glass about to make a toast. "This lunch will be in honor of my dear best friend Victoria for making it this far and for making every one she loves proud, cheers!" we laugh and raise our hands. We end up high fiving each other as a sign of us toasting.

We reach the mall and the driver opens the door for us. I notice the other guards a distance away from us, but I choose to ignore them so that I can enjoy my time with my mother, Jessica and Alice.

We decide that we're going to shop first because none of us likes walking around with a full stomach. We enter multiple cheap stores, since I don't have a job, and buy ourselves clothing, we decide that it's time for us to eat since all of us are hungry.

We walk past a lingerie store and Jessica being the wild one she is, insists that we should shop here, I'm conflicted with my thoughts since my mother and a young child is with us. "I don't think that's a good idea since we have an underage lady with us." I say nodding my head towards Alice's direction.

My mother speaks up. "it's alright, I'll take Alice with me to the restaurant and we'll wait there for you guys while you shop." she puts her hand on Alice's back and they walk off.

Before Jessica and I enter the store, Alice turns around and runs towards me, she hands me her card and winks at me." Alice I can't take this, Im not going to buy anything, lingerie is expensive, I was just going to have a look around." I tell her while trying to give her the card back.

She shakes her head no. "Well now you can buy what you want instead of looking, and don't worry about the money, I can always get it back, please take it, I won't mind at all." she says and walks back to my mother

I look at her retrieving back with surprise, Jessica pulls me and we enter the store. When we in the store, I go to the sales items since I feel bad for wanting to spend money that's not even mine.

Jessica comes to me with a couple of lingerie sets and gives them to me. I look at all the lingerie and back at her. "I don't understand why I'm even buying these since no one is going to see them." I tell jessica.

She laughs and walks away. I head to the section where the pj's are and pick out a beautiful powder pink silk night gown that would probably reach past my mid thighs.

It's simple and cheap. I take it and carry it with the rest of the lingerie, thank goodness jessica knows my size so that I don't have to fit it on.

When we done we head to the cash register. She scans all of my items and looks up at me. "The man in your life, is sure one lucky dude" she tells me smiling. I blush at her compliment.

"Thank you so much, but there is no man, I'm trying to increase my confidence" I tell her, she smiles in understanding.

"Well mam this will be $895" . I'm a bit shocked but I conceal it so that she doesn't notice. I muster a fake smile and give her the card. She seems impressed with the card and when everything is done she puts it in the bag and hands it over to me.

"Have a great day ahead of you mam and I hope you feel more confident in yourself, please shop here again, she ends off smiling, well damn, she was really nice.

I look over to Jessica and see her paying for her stuff and we both leave the store, we walk to the restaurant where we meeting my mother and Alice.

When we get to the restaurant, we are taken to our tables. I see my mother and Alice in a deep conversation. I sit next to my mother and Jessica sits next to Alice.

I hand the card back to Alice and I tell her how much I spent. She waves it off and says "it's nothing" . We order our food and we speak for an hour before we all decide that it's time to head home.

The drive home is silent since everyone is in their own world.

We get home after 30 minutes, we all get out and the guards helps us with our bags. We all walk to Jessica's car and I greet them goodbye.

I hug my mother for the longest because she's leaving tomorrow early morning so this is the last I'm going to see her for a while, but we promised to make plans after my exam.

When they drive off, I head inside and wipe the tears that formed in my eyes. Alice gives me a hug and we settle down in the living room.

A maid comes in and offers to take our bags to our rooms, we say yes and she asks other maids to help her out.

My feet are aching so bad that I take my shoes off and give my feet a foot massage. Alice heads back to her room to pack her things away

I walk to the kitchen to see Helga cleaning. "Hey Helga, do you perhaps know where Xavior is? I need to speak with him" I tell her, she dries her hands and turns to me " I'm sure he is in the gym, just head straight down the hallway, third door to the left is the gym." I thank her and make my way to the gym with my shoes in my hands.

I walk in the gym to hear music blasting from the speakers and Xavior punching a punching bag. He senses my presences and turns around.

He looks angry.

He walks over to me until he is directly in front of me.

"Where the fuck were you?" he asks in his low, dangerous tone. My heart is racing so bad. The note comes into mind, I totally forgot to inform him of where I was going.

He grabs my arm and drags me to his room " W-what are you doing?" I ask him slightly frightened.

"I'm going to punish you for disobeying me, love" he says

He pushes me in the room and sees all the bags from the stores.

He locks the door and drags me to the middle of the room. He sits on the edge of the bed and faces me.

"I want you to strip, now."

Oh crap
