Chapter 446 Go with me
She said with a smile; ''Thank you for today. I had so much fun. ''
Xavier stood up; ''You're welcome. You can come over anytime. ''
Ari nodded and turned to leave; he didn't want her to leave, but he could not tell her to stay since it would sound like he was looking for something else, but he just wanted to be around her.
Ari turned around when she saw Xavier following her across the street;
''My house is just there. I can go by myself. '' she said and Xavier smiled; ''I know. I just want to see you go into your house. ''
Ari smiled awkwardly as she crossed the street, Xavier still following behind. Xavier watched her go in, and he waved her goodnight before going back to his house.
Ari showered and retired to bed. She picked up her phone to check if he texted, but he didn't. She pouted her lips and turned her phone over and slept.
…
Things moved too fast for Ari. Before she knew it, she was going to Xavier's place, or he was coming over almost every other day. They had gotten too close, too close for Ari to understand what was happening.
He was not making any move towards her, but she was sure if he did, she won't be able to resist. The sexual tension was strong. Even his laughter made her blush. She tried her best to hide her feelings in front of him, but she was sure he already realized she was developing feelings for him.
But he was ignoring it.
Ari lay on her bed as she thought about how she got there. Everyone was right. Xavier was someone you see and run! He always won, always. Was he playing with her?
Did he think she was trying to be hard to get, and he wanted her to fall for him and then he would leave her?
Ari shut her eyes. What would she do?
Her phone beeped beside her, and she picked it up. It was a text from Xavier; now talk about the devil!
''Are you free tomorrow?, my friend is having a birthday party, and I would love it if you would go with me. ''
Ari read the message a few times, and she sighed; what does this man really want?
''Okay… '' she replied.
She did not want to go. She did not like social events, but, she did not want him to go with another woman. Ari pouted. She thought she was strong, but the heart cannot be controlled; now she understood the saying; the heart always wants what it wants.
Her phone beeped again; and her eyes widened when she saw it was a credit from Xavier with a caption, 'get a red dress, it would look pretty on you.'
He had sent her '$30,000' to get a dress!
Ari sat up on her bed as she stared at the message.
Quickly she texted him; ''Xavier, you should have asked me before you sent the money, and how did you get my bank details?''
''From the data you submitted to the company, it was easy. And it's just for a dress. It's not a big deal.''
''That amount is too much for a dress, Xavier.''
''You can get something else with it then.''
''But you should have asked me. ''
''Am I inconveniencing you? I just wanted to make things a little easier. Must we argue about this, Ari?''
Ari read the message, and she did not reply. He was right. They did not need to argue over that.
''I'll come to pick you by 6 pm tomorrow, ''
Xavier texted again.
''Okay. '' Ari replied.
…
Ari stared at herself in the mirror. She had contemplated on what to buy, a short dress or a long one. Finally, she decided on the shorts, but now she stood in front of the mirror by a few minutes past 6 pm. She was regretting her decision.
She had an hourglass shape and the short gown drew attention to her body more than her face. Ari pouted. It was too late to find something else. She was going to manage it and prayed the zipper does not snap.
She heard the doorbell ring, and she picked up her purse. Taking one last look at herself, she walked to the door.
Xavier stood in front of the door, a few buttons of his shirt unbuttoned, a silver chain hanging on his neck and a new hairstyle.
Ari's heart literally missed a beat as she did well not to look him in the eyes before his gaze would make her legs weak.
Xavier's eyes drank her in. As he stood speechless for a few seconds;
''Wow…'' he exclaimed in a low tone; completely stunned by her. ''You're gorgeous. ''
He said and Ari smiled sheepishly; ''Thank you. '' she replied.
Xavier extended his hand to her, and she held onto it, walking down the stairs. He held her hand as he walked to the car, and held the car door for her;
Ari got in courteously, as every move she made riled her gown up the more. Xavier got into the driver's side and his eyes fell on her pearly skin, and he felt a knot in his throat.
She was incredibly sexy.
He could barely resist looking at her, but he controlled himself and kept his eyes on the road.
When they got to the venue, it was a few minutes past 7 pm, and the party had already started. Xavier walked to her door and held her hand as she stepped out of the car;
He pulled her close, his hand holding her waists as they walked into the venue.
''You look hot, Ari. It's hard to control myself around you.'' Xavier whispered in her ear as they walked into the hall, and Ari's cheeks blushed uncontrollably. His arms around her waist and his cologne in her nostrils, all added to the red face she had on at that moment. Ari took in a deep breath as she prayed that no one else noticed.
