Accidentally Married

“I want to watch” Jessica confessed printing her bottom lips.

Xavier blinked. Ever since he started teasing her this was the first time she boldly came at him. He knew it was the drink talking and that she would embarrassed if she remembered the following morning but he could not help but feel teased himself.

“I want to watch,” she said again the pout not leaving her face. “Take it off” she added her hands going to his chest.

“Oh so solid,” she said as she giggled. She covered her mouth with her mouth.

“You are drunk” he finally managed to say when he got his voice back.

“Drunk?” she said with a sigh. “I’m not drunk, I just had a little to drink”

“Come on let us get you to bed”

‘Really Xavier get her to bed?’ he asked himself inwardly when putting her to bed was his only solution to what seemed like harassment to him.

“I don’t want to,” she said crossing her hand over her chest as she closed her eyes.

“You can’t watch me get out of my clothes” he stated as he cleared his throat and scratched his Adam’s apple uncomfortably.

“Then why did you suggest it?” she asked.

He blinked again as he looked around the closet. She did have a valid point. What was he supposed to answer to that now? He was teasing her?

“You know you need to stop saying things you don’t mean. From now on I will only take your words seriously” she slurred.

For a moment he forgot she was drunk because her voice seemed steady enough to call her sober.

She turned around and walked out of the closet. Xavier followed after her and shut the door locking it from within.

“Sheesh, so he can get flustered too?” she said as she sat down on the bed.

She felt her head throb as she sat down. She had never done well with alcohol so she wondered why she always went back to it when given the chance.

She was at the point where any more drink would cause her to do something she might be embarrassed for the next day. She knew she needed to stop.

Maybe going to bed like he suggested would be the perfect thing to do. “But what do I do about my guest? Should I send them home?” she asked herself out loud.

“If you are tired of the party then we should end it now,” Xavier said.

He suddenly appeared in her line of vision and she squinted so hard to see him.

“Can I?” she asked sighing. “I am actually so exhausted from planning and I don’t want to get drunk too” she explained.

“Then get into bed, I will ask Roselle to prepare a room for them all and then we could say goodbyes in the morning” Xavier explained standing up.

“I better go with you”

“Don’t you worry I will take care of it all” he said standing by the door and then winking at her. She flushed and nodded.

As Xavier climbed down the stairs he met Jason at the base of the stairs.

“Uhmm, why are you coming back home?” he asked as he saw Xavier descend alone.

“Jessica is quite exhausted so I let her rest. I will ask Roselle to prepare a place for you to stay overnight. It’s well over past midnight so just stay here”

“So the party is over?” Jason asked. The disappointment was evident in his voice.

“There would be nice no drivers again by this time seeing it is a weekday,” Xavier said ignoring his question. It was obvious that one could not easily change.

The urge to party all night was still a strong part of Jason and he could not shake it off. He sighed disappointedly when he realized he would be forced to go to bed.

Xavier entered the kitchen where Roselle was helping clean up. The party had caused them to use ten times more dishes but Roselle was more happy than she could be.

After watching Xavier grow up and continuously reject anything that had to do with birthdays. She was glad that Jessica was able to successfully throw him one.

“Roselle,” Xavier said to call the attention of the busy woman lost in her world.

“Yes young master,” she said wiping her hand on a napkin and then facing him.

“You are already so busy, maybe you could send someone to get two of the rooms ready for them to stay”

“Two rooms?” Roselle asked.

“Yes, Brian and Leslie will stay in one since they are married”

“Would young master Jason and Young lady Alicia stay in one then?” Roselle asked.

Xavier scratched his nose. He was unaware of the status of their relationship and sincerely he did not want to know.

“Yes Roselle we will stay together” Jason replied. “Can I get a cup of honey water too?” he asked taking his seat on the island.

“You and Alicia?” Xavier said clearing his throat.

“Yes Alicia and I are together”Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

“I knew that,” Xavier said shuffling on both feet.

“So why the face? It seems like you are judging us. Do not tell me you are old school?”

“What do you mean by old school?” he asked moving to take his seat beside him on the island.

“Just an advice from your friend,” Jason said suddenly. “There is nothing like the right and perfect time. Just go for it how”
