Chapter 26
"Are you going to talk to your mom about this?" he asked whilst pulling me closer towards him. We were curled up on his bed and I wanted nothing but to remain like that forever.
This was so much better than going back home and dealing with my mom. I needed peace and quiet right now.
"I don't know. I'm so mad at her, Xavier. I mean, why would she keep something like this from me?"
"Maybe to protect you," he murmured against my neck and I turned around to face him.
"This protective nature of hers is getting out of hand. I mean, I can deal with pain and loss. She is hurting me more by hiding stuff from me," I whined and he just nodded in understanding. I ran my eyes all over his beautiful face and let out a huge sigh.
"Have I told you how much I love you?" I whispered as I looked into his eyes deeply.
"Yeah and I love you more than that," he kissed my nose and I smiled, closing my eyes in content.
"Move in with me, baby."
I fluttered my eyes wide open immediately and scrunched my eyebrows in confusion.
Did I hear him right?
"What?" I breathed out in shock.
"I wanted to ask you this two months ago but your mom decided to stay with you and I missed my chance so," he paused, caressing my cheeks softly, "Move in with me and let me take care of you and Hannah." He said in a serious tone and I just blinked, trying to process it.
"Xavier, this is a huge thing, and what if it affects Hannah? What if she hates me living here?" I started to panic and he just chuckled lightly.
"Do you even hear yourself? Hannah loves you so much and in fact, she wants us all to be a happy little family," he winked and I couldn't help but blush at the thought of us being a family together.
Gosh! It would be so beautiful.
"Really?" I asked softly with a small smile playing around the corner of my lips.
"Yeah, Rebecca. When I see a future for me, all I can see is you and Hannah and of course our own kid. I want all of us to be a family one day and I'm willing to wait however long it takes for you to be okay with it," he stated, making my heart leaped with joy and happiness.
"Why are you so perfect all the damn time?" I laughed, blinking back my tears.
"I can't help it, baby." He kissed my neck, making me get goosebumps on my skin, "You still haven't answered," he added.
"Of course, I'll move in with you. I hope you can handle all my crazy habits and weird quirks." I teased.
"I can handle anything," he whispered huskily, nibbling my earlobe and I started to breathe heavily.
"Stop making me horny," I laughed, pushing him away abut he paid no mind and continued to kiss my neck and his hands slipped into my shirt easily.
Fuck, I missed this so much.
This intimacy.
"I can't wait to fuck you hard all night once this cast is off," he whispered, taking my lips between his own and I moaned involuntarily as he squeezed my boobs with his skilled rough hands.
"Man, I don't think I'll be able to stop if I continue any further." He groaned in frustration and I could feel his hardness pressing against my stomach.
"What if I don't want you to stop?" I raised my eyebrows, daringly and he shook his head.
"I'm not going to risk it so, keep it in your pants, woman." he winked and got off me, leaving me speechless.
Did he just blow me off?
"You are such an ass," I threw a pillow at his back.
"That's really mature," he laughed, picking up the pillow and throwing it back at me, "I'm going to pick up Hannah from school. I'll be back in 15 minutes, okay." I nodded as he kissed my forehead. I watched him leave the room and closed my eyes, taking a deep breath.
I couldn't help but think about how much my stupid accident caused everyone I love nothing but pain. I knew he was hurting inside too but he tried his best to divert my mind and make me happy. I also knew that it was going to be so hard to move on from such a loss. I wiped a single tear that escaped my eyes and fell asleep, hoping that it would just get better with every passing day.
"Dad, when will she be awake?" I heard faint whispering and half-opened my eyes.
"Shh! Let her rest. Come outside, Hannah," I heard Xavier's voice and turned to my side to see Hannah, holding a plate of brownies and Xavier near the door with a sheepish grin on his face.
"She is awake," Hannah whispered back to him and jumped on the bed with a huge grin on her face while Xavier walked towards us.
"Hi baby," I smiled in my sleepy state and pulled her on to my lap.
"Dad and I baked brownies after I came home from school. He said that you were feeling sick," she explained and held out the plate.
Aww!
She was so damn cute.
"I would love to have some brownies," I broke a piece of it and started to eat.
Woah! It was delicious.
"Did you guys really make it?" I asked in a surprised tone and looked at Xavier, who was sitting next to us on the bed.
"Yeah," he beamed proudly and tried to steal a piece of it from my plate.
"Don't touch mine," I swatted his hand and continued to eat whilst feeding some to Hannah.
"Dad said that you are going to live with us, Becca but we have only two rooms. Where will you sleep?" she asked innocently and I stopped eating, my eyes going wide in shock.
"Ummm... Xavier, why don't you explain it to her like you always do?" I smirked, continuing to eat my brownies and he narrowed his eyes at me.
"She will be staying in my room, dear. Now, who wants more brownies?" he rushed out, trying to change the subject.
"So are you both married then?" she started again with a confused look on her face and he just lifted her from my lap.
"Alright, that's enough talk, young lady. Let's put you to bed," he walked towards the door and I chuckled, watching them leave the room, realizing how lucky I was to have them in my life to make me smile even when I didn't want to. Life wasn't perfect but I can definitely make it perfect by cherishing what I have instead of thinking about what I have lost.
"Hey, slept well?" I heard Xavier's voice and turned around to find him removing his shirt, showing off his perfect abs.
Such a tease!
"Yeah, did she have dinner?"
"Yup, I can cook for us, or do you want me to order take out?" he asked, joining me on the bed.
"Take out is fine," I smiled, kissing his cheeks as he took out his phone. I switched on the TV, browsing through Netflix.
"Anything but romance," he whined and I smacked his arm lightly.
"I had a rough day so we are watching whatever I like," I stated firmly and he groaned, falling back on the bed.
"I had a rough day too but you know what makes me feel better?"
"What?" I rolled my eyes at his playful tone as he pushed a strand of hair from my forehead.
"You. You feeling better makes me feel better," he whispered and I just stared at him before bursting into laughter.
"God! You are so corny," I laughed so hard and he joined me.
"I thought girls love this kind of stuff," he grumbled and hid his face between the pillows like a little kid.
Fuck, he was so cute!
"But I love it when your corny and cheesy with me." I sighed, running my hands through his luscious hair.
"Of course you do, Come here!" He pulled me closer carefully and just like that we forgot about the dinner and the movie.
I guess I could get used to this every day!
