Delaney’s pov
I sighed and continued walking towards my direction.
I got to the libr@ry and walked in.
Thanks to Xavier, I know my way to to some important places in the school.
I walked towards the shelf and took a book.
I got a seat and sat on it.
The students were all minding their business and the libr@ry was quiet as students focused on their books.

Alicia’s pov
I rested my jaw on my palm and stared dreamily at Xavier.
A teacher was in the clas-s but my mind wasn’t there. I was just focused, staring at him.
Why does he have to be this handsome huh?
“Miss Alicia?” I jo-lted back to reality and sat up properly.
“Huh?” I answered and wiped a drool from the corner of myl-ips.
I brushed my hair with my f!ngersand focused on the teacher.
“I asked you a question.” Mrs Theresa, the arithmetic teacher said and stared intently at me.
I gulped down nothing and itched my hair.
The whole clas-s were staring at me and gosh, I was damn so nervous.
I zoned out completely that I didn’t even hear the question.
“Ermm ma’am, plea-se recap your question.” I faked a small smile.
“There’s a question on your l@pt©p and I want you to solve it and tell me the answer.” She said sternly.
“Okay ma’am.” I f0rç£d a smile.
I stared at the equation and thank goodness, it wasn’t new to me.
I type the solutions and within few seconds, I got my answer.
I looked up at Mrs Theresa who was waiting patiently for me to produce the answer and the students staring at me.
“The answer is 5 ma’am.” I answered.
She ran her eyes all over my b©dy and her l-ips uddenly stretched out in a smile.
“That’s impressive Alicia. You’re correct.” She smiled and I felt my stomach do some happy dance.
“Thank you ma’am.”
She walked back to stand in front of the clas-sroom and my gaze suddenly met with Xavier’s.
And I could swear that he smiled at me, but as soon as I saw him, he turned away.
Oh my!
Xavier smiled at me.
Was he impressed with me?
Of course dumb head! I mentally sma-cked my head.
I squealed elatedly in my psyche and look away shyly.

Xavier’s pov
School was great and Delaney had lunch with Rio.
I didn’t like it but I let them be.
Chelsea seemed to be happy that Delaney didn’t eat lunch with us.
We chatted lightly but sincerely, I wasn’t even interested in whatever she was saying but I just had flow with the conversation.
*
*
Chelsea didn’t follow us home and I was more than glad. She’s too clingy but because she’s been my friend for a long time, I don’t want to push her away.
The ride home was awkwardly quiet and the silence was uncomfortable.
Delaney was just staring outside the car window while I just typed away on my phone.
“Xavier?” I heard Delaney’s tiny voice.
I turned and stared at her.
“Huh?” I asked and dropped my phone on the car seat.
She was fondling with her f!ngersnervously and she couldn’t meet my gaze.
“I’m sorry.” She breathed out and finally looked at me.
“For what exactly?” I huffed.
“I don’t even know. But yesterday, you were mad at me because I had screamed of snakes and worms, but it was just a meal– spaghetti.
You were so vexed and you said mean words to me. I’m sorry.” She explained and sighed.
“Okay.” I replied perfunctorily.
“Just okay?” She asked and bit her lowerl-ip.
Damn it! She looked so cute and innocent.
“What do you want me to say?” I asked.
“Are you still angry with me?” She pouted and tucked in her hair behind her ear.
“I’m not. Just forget about it.” I shrugged.
“Okay, thanks.” She smiled.
*

We got home and walked into the house together.
We got into the house and met mom seated and re-ading a magazine– she looked so engrossed re-ading, with her glas-ses on.
“Good evening mom.” I greeted and k!$$£d her cheeks.
“Oh! Evening son.” She smiled and dropped the magazine on the glas-s table.
She stood on her feet and pe-cked my both cheeks respectively.
“Good evening mom.” Delaney smiled shyly.
Mom embr@ced her and k!$$£d her hair.
“Evening dear.” Mom smiled and pu-ll-ed her cheeks pla-yfully.
Geez! I think I’m getting jealous alre-ady because of their clos£ness.
They look just like mother and daughter.
“I know that look son, don’t be jealous.
You’ve enjoyed motherly care ever since you were young.” Mom laughed.
Oh mom! She re-ads me so well!
“And don’t worry Xavier, I won’t steal your mom from you.” Delaney smiled at me.
I rolled my eyes and started for the stairs.
“plea-se mom, my usual.” I called out as I climbe-d the stairs.
“Sure thing son, I’d have one of the maids bring it to your room.” Mom called out back.
*
*
“I have an announcement to make!” Mom said aloud and darted her eyes from Delaney to me.
We were both sitting in the sitting room because mom called us and said she wanted to talk to us.
“Okay, what is it mom? I have a project work to start working on.” I rolled my eyes.
“Okay son, this is specifically for you.” Mom started, with a smile but she looked serious.
“Me? What have I done?” I asked and poked my che-st.
“You didn’t do anything wrong son.” Mom smiled.
“And plea-se, no interruption till I’m done talking.” She added sternly.
I swallowed my question and stared intently at her.
“From today onwards Xavier, you’d be tutoring Delaney.
She nee-ds to know more things because she’s too naive.
You tutoring doesn’t have to be only about your studies but also going out to places, maybe to have fun.” Mom said, grinning wi-dely.
“What? Why mom?” I scoffed.
“That’s because she nee-ds to be more enlightened.” Mom replied.
“But why me mom? You can just hire a pri-vate tutor for her.” I grumbled.
“plea-se Xavier, I just want you to help her. It doesn’t have to be everyday. You can just write a time table for days you’d tutor her.
plea-se Xavier, I’m really counting on you.” Mom pouted childishly that I was almost f0rç£d to laugh– she looked like a kid who was deprived of lolli-pop.
Mom can be so dramatic sometimes.
“What’s gonna be my reward mom?” I asked.
“Hmm, that would be… Yes! I’d give you my br£@st milk.” Mom laughed.
Delaney bur-sted into an hysterical laughter, clutching her stomach ti-ghtly.
I was supposed to be angry but I joined in the laughter.
“Mom, that’s not fair.” I pouted.
“I’m just kidding son. I’d definitely get you something but it’s gonna be a surprise.
Just make sure Delaney is well tuto-red.” Mom said and smiled.
“Alright mom. I agree.” I grumbled at last.
“Yay! Thank you son!” Mom squealed happily and hvgged me.
Delaney giggled and win-ked at me.

Delaney’s pov
I stirred awake and rolled out of the be-d. I ru-bbe-d my eyes and yawned lightly.
I got out of my room and went downstairs.
I got to the sitting room and the house looked rather quiet.
I got to the kitchen, and after drinking water, I went to the sitting room.
“Hey, excuse me!” I called out to one of the maids.
“plea-se where’s Xavier and his mom?” I asked– we were standing close to each other.
“Oh! Ma’am Jenny stepped out for a while and master Xavier left few minutes ago.
He was with his friend, I think Rio. He didn’t say where he was going.” She said.
I nodded my head and mouthed an *o*.
*
*
Gosh! The house was so quiet and I was bored. Nob©dy to even talk with.
The day was still bright even if it was evening time.
I tried watching the TV but I didn’t even un-derstand what they were showing, it looked uninteresting and I got bored from watching it.
I didn’t see Xavier in the TV and a p@rt of me wanted to see him badly.
I got outside the house and the cool breeze swept my hair and made it fly to different directions.
I smiled and after looking around carefully and ma-king sure no one was in sight, I opened the gate and walked out.
I’d just look around and get back home before any of them would notice I’m not around.
That thought, I started walking.
*
*
I don’t know for how long I’ve walked and I don’t even know when I got to this p@rt of the environment but I knew I wasn’t within the house again.
I was so fascinated by the beautiful things I saw along the way and I didn’t know when I left the house environs.
I panicked because I alre-ady lost my way.
I turned back and started finding my way back.
On my way back, something caught my attention.
I looked properly and saw Xavier in something like a big paper hung up.
The place it was hung was tall.
And then, I remembered the conversation I had with Xavier’s mom about the picture of Xavier I had seen.
She was actually the one who told me it was a picture and she said it’s supposed to be within the house.
But looking at this hvge picture, I knew it was stolen.
Oh no!
I moved closer to it and not minding the people around, I started climbing up to re-move the big picture.
“Xavier!” I cried as I continued to climb up. The people who were walking alre-ady st©pped to look at me.
They were looking and laughing at me like I’ve gone insane but I cared less.
Who knows if he’s in trouble?
I nee-d to save him!
I successfully got up and started tou-ching his face. Looking closely at it, it doesn’t look like a picture.
Okay, how the hell did he get up there?
“Xavier who hang you up here? Why are you here?” I asked, still on what I climbe-d up on.
He didn’t answer me but continued to stare at me.
“Oh Xavier! plea-se answer me! Why are you here? Were you stolen and kept here?” I screamed out.
Episode 40
Xavier’s pov
I kept my phone back in my pocket because of the noise I heard, ahead of me.
I strained my n£¢k to look at what exactly is going on.
My eyes snapped wi-dely opened as I saw a girl that looks exactly just like Delaney.
“St©p the car!” I ordered hurriedly.
My chaffeur st©pped the car and without waiting for him to open my car door, I hurriedly alighted.
I ran to the scene and to my utmost surprise and shock, I saw Delaney up at a bill board where my picture was hung.
I actually modelled for a p@rticular br@nd and the br@nd has been moving quite great.
And now, Delaney is up there?
Doing what exactly?
Oh God!
Where on Earth is this girl from?
Why’s she always causing commotions?
I panicked as I still stared at her, not knowing exactly what to do.
She hasn’t noticed my pres£nce yet.
The gathering was too much and some persons were laughing, taking pictures and videoing the scene.
She looked totally crazy and stupid.
And she was just wearing a short and a shi-t.
Her hair wasn’t even packed and it flew around in different directions.
God!
Where did mom get such a girl from?
“Xavier?” She suddenly called as our gazes finally met.
Other persons who were in the scene turned and they started taking pictures of me.
Argh!
Some of the teenagers were squealing happily and trying to get closer to me but my chaffeur was alre-ady trying to control them.
“Can you plea-se find a way for that girl to come down from that place?” I gro-an ed silently to my chaffeur.
“Okay sir.” He answered and walked towards Delaney.
I shrugged and started towards my car ignoring the squealing teenagers.
If I was in a good mood, I’d have volunteered to take pictures with them, one after the other but today, I’m in no good mood.
In fact, I feel embarras-sed, so damn embarras-sed.
Few minutes later, my chaffeur c@m£ with Delaney who had a guilty countenance on.
I hissed loudly and rolled my eyes.
“Get into the car!” I snapped angrily, as she continued to stand beside the car door.
She was acting all innocent.
She jo-lted and hurriedly got into the car.
I was so vexed that I felt like hitting something.
“Xavier?” She called softly and turned to face me.
I glared daggers at her and she had no choice than to clamp her mouth shut and swallow whatever words she was gonna say.
“Don’t open your mouth to utter any word till we get home!” I ordered sternly.
She nodded her head and bit her lowerl-ip.
She fondled childishly with the hem of her shi-t.
Damn! I won’t lie, she looked so cute and adorable.
But I’m still mad at her and I’m definitely gonna unleash my anger on her when we get home.

“Delaney!” Mom squealed and ran to hvg Delaney.
I rolled my eyes and watched them reunite like a mother welcoming her lost daughter.
Obviously, she was lost!
“Where did you go? I asked the maids about you and they said they had no idea about your whereabouts and they didn’t see you leave with Xavier earlier.
I was so worried about you Laney.” Mom rushed her words and at the same time, t©uçhed all p@rt of her b©dy, probably looking for an injury or something.
“I suddenly bec@m£ invisible to my own mother.” I rolled my eyes and watched them keenly.
“Oh son! I’m sorry.” Mom apologized and k!$$£d my cheeks.
“You know, Laney doesn’t know anywhere around and I was scared she might have gone missing.” Mom explained.
“Mom, she has explanations to give. She’s really getting out of hand mom and I’m afraid that she might cause us trouble one day.” I sighed and glared at Delaney.
“What did she do son?” Mom asked.
“You can go ahead and ask your beloved daughter. She’d definitely have a better explanation to tell.” I told her while Delaney bent her head guiltily.
“But let me just brief you. Your daughter climbe-d up in a bill board and she was trying to bring it down because it had my picture on it.
You can imagine the embarras-sment!” I gro-an ed and started for the stairs.
“What?” Mom asked.
“You can get the full details from her.” I called out and hurriedly climbe-d the stairs.
Eish! That girl annoys me so much.
I haven’t fully gotten over the spaghetti episode and now another?

Delaney’s pov
“You did what Delaney?” Xavier’s mom yelled disbelievingly.
“I’m sorry.” I bit myl-ips, feeling so guilty.
“Why would you even leave the house in the first place?” She asked and placed her hands on her w@!st.
“I was bored and I thought there was no harm in going out. I didn’t think I’ll lost my way around.” I pouted.
“Really? Then why did you climb up the bill board and tried removing Xavier’s picture?” She asked and stared intently at me.
“I thought he was stolen. I never had the idea that it was just a bill board and it’s supposed to be there.” I sighed lowly.
“Oh my Delaney! When will you learn?” She asked.
“I’m sorry.” I pouted childishly.
“It’s fine. I just hope that with time you’ll learn.” She smiled lightly and hvgged me. I hvgged her back by wra-pping my arms around her.
I’m glad she isn’t mad at me.

Delaney’s pov
Xavier forgave me and told me he wasn’t mad at me again.
At school, I’ve improved a bit because even Xavier said so.
Brielle– I finally got her name and whom I think is the leader of the B3 girls, gave me her birthday card.
My intention was to throw the card away and not attend the birthday p@rty.
But surprisingly, Xavier told me he was invited to the same p@rty and his mom told me to go with him because she didn’t want to risk leaving me alone at home.
Xavier grumbled but he eventually agreed.
I wanted to decline but Xavier’s mom pleading eyes made me keep shut.
She really wants me to attend the p@rty with Xavier.
*
*
The D-day finally c@m£ for the p@rty but unfortunately, Xavier’s mum wasn’t at home at the moment.
“Delaney! Delaney!” I heard Xavier call as I walked out of the kitchen where I’d gone to take some milk.
“Yes?” I replied when we c@m£ face to face with each other and his eyes dimmed.
“What the….you still aren’t dressed up???” He exclaimed and I bit my nails.
“Well…I’m sorry, but….”
“Gosh! You know what? You’ll just have to catch up with me, okay? I’m in a hurry and nee-d to br@nch somewhere before the p@rty and I’m running pretty late alre-ady. So, when you’re done, you go to the p@rty and we’ll meet up there” he said hurriedly.
Whaaaat??
“B…But, I don’t know the way to the….”
“Yeah, don’t worry about that. As soon as you’re done dressing, go out to the car, you’ll find a driver beside it. Just get in and he’ll take you to the p@rty. He knows the road, okay?” He said with an eye roll and before I could make another complaint, he rushed out.
Oh boy! I can’t believe he left without me.
Geez!
I sighed and returned to my room so I could get dressed.
First, I took a shower and when I was done, I bec@m£ confused if what to wear.
There were so many clothes staring at me but I didn’t know which to chose.
Xavier,’s mum had always been the one dressing me up.
Well, I guess I’d have to learn now.
I started rifling throu-gh the numerous clothes, checking them bit by bit.
I saw a blue pair of trou-sers – yeah. Xavier’s mum calls them trou-sers.
I wore it on and continued searching. I found a Sk-irt and admired it. Hm. Beautiful.
I smiled and wore it on the trou-ser.
Now…my che-st.
First, I wore a “br@” as Xavier’s mum had called and taught me how to wear it.
After fixing it on my b00bs, I looked for a shi-t and picked something that looked like cardigan – just like Xavier’s mum had describe-d it.
I wore it on and woah!!! It was quite big on me.
Hm. But nice.
I took the new hat Xavier’s mum had bought for me and wore it on my head.
Perfect!!
Then, I rounded it up with a pair of canvas on my legs.
Oh my geeeee! I did it!! I dressed myself up!!!
I rushed to the mirror and giggled at my pretty image. I was so proud of myself.
And without wasting any more time, I left the room.
I walked out to where Xavier said the car will be waiting and there I found it with a man beside it.
“Are you the driver?” I asked, wondering why he was staring at me – strangely.
“Uh…yes ma’am. I…I…i am” he stuttered,roaming his eyes around me.
Hmph. What’s wrong with him?
“Okay. You know where to take me right?” I asked.
“To…to…to the p@rty?” He stuttered again.
“Exactly!!” I exclaimed and made to open the door of the car.
“Hold on ma’am” he called back my attention.
“Y…you’re going to the p@rty like this?”
“Well, of course. Is there something wrong?” I asked and looked at myself from che-st to toe.
He didn’t reply.
Hm. He’s probably jealous.
“I don’t have much time, okay? Let’s go” I said and finally walked into the car and he also got in and zoomed off.
TBC.
Ah😂😂😂
There is war oo. See dressing 🤣🤣
Till then🚶🚶🚶
