《The Arrangement》Chapter 20
Advertisement
In the morning me and Mandy made breakfast while the guys both slept in. It was pretty hard getting from Xzavier's grip but I managed to replace myself with a pillow.
"So anything special happen between you and Xzavier last night" Mandy ask me while wiggling her eyebrows. I laugh and shoo her away.
"I don't know what your talking about" I smile innocently while setting the table while she plates the food.
"Oh really so those moans weren't coming from you last night" she teases , placing everyone's plate at the table. I blush deeply and hide my face with my hair.
"Damn right they were" Xzavier's voice come out of nowhere. I look up and glare at him which he just smiles.
"Nothing happened" I reassured her while I sit down in front of my breakfast.
Jason walks into the kitchen looking half asleep but sits down and eats anyway. We all eat breakfast in a comfortable silence.
"Autumn, how about me and you go shopping later on" Mandy says while I help her clear the dishes. I don't think shopping would. Be necessary but I could use some fresh air and Mandy is so much fun I know we'll have a great time out today.
"Yeah sure" I agree and she give me the most brightest smile ever. I've always loved hanging with Mandy she's unique in her own way , I think I like her more because she's herself and doesn't take shit form anyone but she's a sweetheart.
"Go get ready I'll meet you in an hour and we'll go"
I make my way upstairs into me and Xzavier's room. He's there laying on the bed while watching tv , I walk past him heading to the closet to find something decent to wear while me and Mandy are out today.
Arms wrap around my waist and I feel Xzavier nuzzle his head into my neck. I smile and turn around in his arms to give him his morning kiss that I know he's begging to have.
"Where are you going kitten?"
"Mandy and I are going shopping today"
"Oh okay I'll just change and we can go" he turns to leave but I stop him just in his tracks.
"Just us girls Xzavier"
"But what am I suppose to do while your gone" he pouts, I love when he does this but he can't go we're basically spending the whole week together so he should be alright.
"You have Jason to keep you company"
"But I don't want his company, I want yours kitten" he pulls me into him , kissing me passionately. Ugh he knows I love his lips he's trying to change my mind.

I back away from him which he just pulls me back and trails kisses down my neck.
"Baby I'll be back before you know it" I coo into his neck while he still grips my waist. I know he loves when I call him baby , he falls for anything I say when I call him the name. I guess I'll have to call him that more.
"Okay, but tell Mandy that I'm mad she's taking you away from me" I smile and kiss his cheek before heading into the connected bathroom.
*****
An hour later I'm ready to go and shop until I drop with Mandy.
I look down at my outfit second guessing it. Maybe I should change into something else but I like this outfit. I'm so confusing at times.
Deciding my outfit is okay I make my way downstairs into the living room waiting for Mandy to come down anytime now.
"How do you do that?" Xzavier ask while pulling me into his lap.
"Do what" I ask curiously.
"Look so gorgeous all the time, kitten I don't understand how I've gotten so lucky. Isn't she gorgeous Jason" he nuzzles his face into my neck peeking my neck with light kisses.
"Yes , your beautiful" I smile genuinely at Jason. He's always giving me compliments, almost as much as Xzavier but you know no one will ever compliment me more than this man.
He actually praises me sometimes , it's cute to see him gawk over me. Even though he looks like a god himself he still makes sure I don't go a day without a compliment and praise.
"Thank you guys , really I just threw this on it's nothing" I say referring to my overalls and white crop top.
Mandy then comes downstairs in a sundress and sandals. She looks beautiful as always.
"Okay I'm ready let's go" she grabs my hand pulling me up from Xzavier's lap causing him to protest.
We bid our last goodbyes before leaving the house and going to Jason's car.
Once we reach the mall I let Mandy pull me every which way. Once she spots something else across the mall we're off to that place , even though it's tiring and we have made two trips back to the car to drop off bags I couldn't be having more fun with this crazy girl. We sit down at a place that she says was her favorite for lunch and I have to say she really knows her food.
"Ohhh he's cute" she points behind me. I turn my head into the direction she points.
My eyes go wide and I turn back around in my seat and duck trying to hide. She gives me a confused look while staring back and forth between me and the boy.

"What's wrong?"
"That's my ex, Matt"
"Why hide from him if he's your ex"
"He can be a little you know out of it sometimes" I admit trying my best to keep my voice to a minimum and not be noticed by him.
"Well I don't think he's going to try anything he's with someone"
My head shoots behind me to see who's the girl that matt, I know he could have any girl he wanted but he always turned them down. I had to get a glimpse at this other girl.
"Oh that's Cassandra his cousin, she use to go to school with us but she left a few years ago I wonder why she's back" I stare at his cousin I never officially met due to her departure.
"Did you say Cassandra? As in the Cassandra!" Mandy screams with her eyes locked in Matt's cousin.
"Yeah?"
"That whore!" She gets up from her seat and rushes over to the two. I jump up and run after her before she does anything stupid and harm someone.
Once we reach them I finally am able to keep Mandy behind me , it's not easy considering she's trying to charge at Cassandra.
"Autumn" Matt looks at me surprised.
"Hey" I finally make out still trying to keep Mandy from her attack.
"I thought you and Sarah would be-"
"Oh no not this year she's actually with Evan for spring break"
Once Mandy is calmed down a bit I look to her eying to make sure that she's really okay that I could let her go. When she takes a deep breath and exhales she looks back to normal so I let her go.
"You have some nerve coming back here. I know what you've done to my brother and let me tell you it will never happen again because now I'm here and I'll be damned if I ever let him near you again bitch" Mandy spat at Cassandra with so much venom in her voice , I wonder what she's talking about and what has Cassandra done.
Of course everyone knows that Cassandra and Xzavier dated back than but I thought they broke up because she left not anything else.
"Oh honey please if I wanted your brother back I'll have him back with a snap of my finger"
"Like hell you will! He's with a much better person than you now he'll never even think twice about you" I watch as the scene takes place in front of me at a list of words. I don't even know what has happened for Mandy to act this way , I've never seen her this angry she looks as if she could kill Cassandra any second now.
"Oh please your talking about little autumn here, she'll never be me and I'll always have Xzavier wrapped around my finger" okay now it's my time to speak up if she thinks she could have my boyfriend she's very much mistaken.
"Excuse me Cassandra, but that's my boyfriend your talking about and I would appreciate if you don't say that or else I won't be so nice"
"Your boyfriend?" She vegans to laughs loudly with tears in her eyes while she clutched her stomach.
"Well when did you guys start to date? Today? Because yesterday I recall-"
"Cassandra let's go" Matt pulls her arm.
"No let her say what's she's gotta say" I cross my arms over my chest waiting for her to come out the mouth about Xzavier.
"Since you want to know. Xzavier and I shared you could call it a moment when he realized that I was back"
"Your lying!"
"Baby girl his tongue was practically down my throat"
All I see is red I don't think I don't feel I just attack. I grab Cassandra by her hair and throw her into the floor before pounding her face in with the hardest blows I could. She had no right to make up such a lie about Xzavier he loves me , he told me so.
"Autumn stop it" Matt begans pulling me from his cousin but I throw his hands off while attacking her again.
Just then I fell more people pulling me from a balled up Cassandra on the floor. I wanted to continue many attack on her until she was bloody , I don't know what got into me usually I'm not a violent person but hearing Cassandra talk about Xzavier just set me off.
Once I'm pulled clear from Cassandra, Mandy leads me out of the mall into Jason's car. Tears stream down my face because I want to go back and finish her and I thought in the back of my head is telling me that's it's true.
"Autumn are you okay?"
"No, did you think he really kissed her"
"I don't know but we damn sure going to find out" Mandy starts the car speeding off into the direction of Xzavier's house. I could see anger in her face as we near the house.
I hope he didn't do this and that she's lying. Please don't do this to me Xzavier.
