Chapter 17

Royalty's POV I woke up about an hour later and went back downstairs slowly. My head was spinning and my balance was a bit off. I laid down on a chair in the sitting room and I felt tears running down my face. Xavier? Why? Did he just take me out to drug me into coming here? I don't understand anything at all. "Well well well." I voice said "What do we have here?" I sat up to see a young man circling me on the couch like a hawk. I looked at him with frightened eyes. "Did you fall from heaven little angel?" he asked me I shook my head in a 'no'. Who the heck is he? He's creepy. He sat down next to me and bought his lips near mine. "Silivo leave her alone." a voice warned "Back off! She's mine." Silivo and I looked up to where Xavier was leaning on the staircase railing "This pretty girl is yours?" Silivo questioned "Yes. Xavier smiled "She was rightfully sold to me so get your filthy eyes off her!" he said coming over and taking my hand and pulling me up to his chest. "Sorry Xavier." Silivo said putting his hands up in surrender He then got up and left. "Feeling any better?" Xavier asked me "Y-yes." I answered Xavier studied my face a little bit "Why are you crying?" he asked "If it's about last night I had to secretly bring you here because something fishy is going on in the club so we had no choice. I'm sorry about that." Instantly forgiven! "It's fine." I said "I'm hungry." "Then let's eat Chicken Marsala." he said "The cooks just finished so if we go now we'll get it hot." I nodded and he took my hand and led me into the kitchen. "We've got to get you clothes though." he said as we walked "We can't have you looking so sexy or the men here will pounce on you like Silivo." I blushed. He called me....sexy? Where? In which direction am I sexy? I'm just a plain ordinary girl and yet he's calling me sexy. It's just like Aria calling me naturally beautiful. I wasn't seeing it but after coming here I'm beginning to see that I'm real a unique girl. "Xavier sat me down and the maids laid out two bowls of chicken marsala. I ate slowly feeling a little sad at the thought that I left Aria, Alana and Nora without saying goodbye. "I have to go out later but I'll leave a maid to look after you."he informed me "Where are you going?" I asked He looked at me and smiled. "Out to a business meeting dea." he said to me softly and I blushed D-D-Dea? That means goddess right? "I didn't mean to be nosy." I blushed "It's fine." he smiled "Do you know how to manage schedules?" "I can try." I said "Why?" "I could give you a job to work for me personally so you won't be bored during the day." he suggested Really? I can be that close to Xavier everyday! Anytime baby! I'm so there Xavier. "I won't mind." I said softly "I'll try my best." "Good girl." he smiled poking my cheek "You'll start tomorrow." I nodded and then zoned out again. Aria, Alana and Nora. How are you girls doing? Do you miss me? "You zoned out on me again Royalty." Xavier interrupted my thoughts "What are you thinking about?" "Did Aria and the others know I was moving?" I questioned softly He looked at me sadly "They do." he said "Do you miss them?" "They're the only friends I've ever had in my life." I confided in him "No one has even been my friend before and I was always lonely." I felt tears rolling down my cheeks then I felt a warm hand pulling me closer. "You have me and the other guys to be friends with." he said "No need to be lonely. You want to be loved don't you? I love you Rei. We all do. Don't you ever forget that bambina." I nodded as I stayed in his warm arms. It felt good in there and Xavier smelt of white roses. Strange. I never knew people could smell like that. It isn't soap or body wash it's his natural smell. "You smell like a goddess Royalty." he stated and I went red "Not your body wash but your real smell. Soft and sweet and it smells like spring. I like it." I pulled away a little but he pulled me back "Stay there in my arms Royalty." he said "I love smelling you. You smell really good." I was blushing red like a tomato but I stayed in his arms. His smell was addictive and I couldn't get enough of him. "Why do you smell like white roses?" I asked him "When I was younger I played in the rose garden a lot so I guess the scent is permanent." he smiled through my hair I felt his hands raking through the curly tangles "You've got split ends." he said "When things die down a little. I'll let you go out so you could do your hair. Maybe when Neveah comes." "Neveah?" I asked His girlfriend? "My younger twin sister." he replied "She's in Spain right now. When she comes she'll want to drag you all over the place." I giggled and snuggled down in Xavier's arms while he twisted my curly hair around his fingers. Xavier left me a few minutes later and a maid bought me back into my room where I showered and changed clothes. "I'll have the dress washed for you." she said leaving as I dressed "Grazie." I smiled I dressed and sat down in the sitting room coloring with Hinako when I heard the boys chattering in Italian and coming down the staircase. They were dressed in sexy tuxedos and the most striking one was Xavier. Of course! He had shades over his eyes and when he saw me he flashed me a perfectly white smile and I blushed and waved back. A few of the body guards were with them. I noticed that Xavier had four silver rings on his fingers. On his right hand he had one on his middle finger and pinkie finger and on his left hand he had it on is index finger and wedding finger. He came up to me. "I'll catch you later dea." he smiled at me I giggled. "Have fun." I said straightening his tie. He bit his lip and looked at me as he walked out the door with the others who waved at me. There he goes sending butterflies into my stomach by called me 'dea'. What's going on between me and Xavier?
