We both hang up and I can't help but run up to him for a hug.
"You're welcome." He laughs.
"Wait,you stayed?"
"Yeah.I hope you're not creeped out.I knew you weren't alright so I just didn't feel okay leaving you alone.So I waited in my car for a bit."
I can tell he's studying my face looking for a specific reaction so I smile and say, "I'm glad you stayed."
He then smiles back and says, "Good."
"Xavier...you bought me the dress?"
"Yeah...I hope you don't mind.I know you fell in love with it at the store and you looked so amazing in it I couldn't just allow you not to come back home with it.It was made for you."
"Thank you so much.I don't know what to say."
"It's okay.Don't sweat it.I can see you're still upset.I'm not going to ask if you're okay.So how about you tell me what I can do to cheer you up?"
He's literally perfect wtf.
"Can we just get some McDonald's and chill here.Just vibe?"
"Of course.What do you like?"
"Just get me what you're getting.Food is food really."
I manage to laugh a bit causing him to do the same.
"Okay give me 15 minutes okay?I'll be back."
"You're going alone?"
"Cali..."
"Okay okay thank you."
He then hugs me and heads out.
As soon as he leaves I run to the nearest bathroom and wash my face.
I look like I was crying.
I still look like someone beat my face up but I look better than I did a few minutes ago.
*knock knock*
Woah that was quick.
"Come in!"
I wipe my face then head back to the living room to devour some McDeezy.
"You're back so early how did..."
Shoot me now.In my foot or wherever I don't care just do it.
"Hey."
"Why are you in my house?"
"I saw 'it' leave so I figured I'd use this opportunity to talk to you alone because I know you get brainwashed when he's around."
"His name is Xavier.Get out."
"Look I'm sorry okay.I just hate how close you and that prick are getting.He's playing you.Don't you think it's weird how you only met yesterday but he all of a sudden wants to be your friend?Please just stop all this before it's too late."
I don't know why but I have a feeling he knows exactly what he's talking about.
But because he won't tell me why,I'm going to ignore him.
Maybe he's just jealous.
"Excuse me!Who are you to tell me he's playing me?Who are you to tell me I'm being brainwashed!?"
"Shit..were you crying?Did he do this!?Is that why he left?!"
His hands are now balled into fists.
"Actually no.You did this Danniel.You did this!How could you say what you said at the mall earlier?Why are you being such an ass?!"
"I'm being an ass?Oh please.I know you're giving Xavier yours tho.Maybe that's why you're so blind.He's giving you that good..."
As soon as his words register in my brain my blood boils and before I know it,I'm slapping him across the face.
Both in shock...we don't say a word.
"I'm back with the goodies!"Xavier cheers walking into the house with our food in one hand and ice cream in the other.
As soon as he lays his eyes on Danniel and I he doesn't dare to say another word.
