|Shaylee Love|

“Yes” I whispered.

Xavier grinned and interlaced our fingers together before swooping in to capture another kiss. Once again my head spun in circles at the ecstasy that one kiss brought me. When he pulled away Xavier gave me his special smile, the one he only showed me, and it made me feel like my heart would jump out of my chest. “You don’t know how long I’ve been waiting to hear that” he murmured. I smiled and laid my head down on his chest, listening to his calming heartbeat. I noticed Xavier’s hand was much larger than mine, his rough and slightly calloused hands engulfed my much smaller one. I smiled and gazed up at his emerald eyes and I found he was already looking at me. I blushed and averted my eyes back to our interlaced fingers, Xavier took his other hand and put a finger to my chin to being my gaze back to his. I blushed but held his gaze this time. It was weird but nice… Xavier… was now my… boyfriend.

Boyfriend…

A smile crept over my face at the thought. The word was at the tip of my lips, it felt so foreign yet… it sounded like the best thing in the world. For most of the day Xavier and I just lay in bed with each other and talked about absolutely everything, just enjoying our time together. We didn’t mention the incident from yesterday again, I think we both knew that now was not the right time. I sighed, to be quite honest I didn’t want to think about it but I did want to talk about it. I wanted to know about Xavier’s secret but right now was time to celebrate that I was okay and Xavier and I were together. I looked at the clock and noticed it was now four in the afternoon.

 “Xavier?” I questioned, he nodded his head in indication to speak and I lifted my head to look at him. “You do know Trevor is going to kill you right? And the boys might have been okay with it at first but you know they are going to kill you as well? …and don’t even get me started on Avery and my dad…” I trailed off, shivering at the thought. Xavier grinned “I don’t care, as long as I get to have you in the end it doesn’t matter who says what.” He said, placing a light kiss on my nose. My nose wrinkled at the touch and he laughed at my reaction. I couldn’t help but grin at him, he really did like me… I mean obviously he did or he wouldn’t ask me to be his girlfriend but…

I’m sorry, all of this just feels so surreal… I can’t wrap my head around the fact that Xavier East asked me, Shaylee Love, to be his girlfriend. It was just… mind boggling…

I sighed, we should probably get up soon. Plus my side was beginning to hurt again and I think we needed to get Connor up here so he could change the bandaging. Xavier looked at me and cupped my cheek with his hand “Are you okay?” he asked. I nodded my head “Yeah but we should probably get Connor in here” I said. Xavier raised a brow “Why?” he asked, I pointed to my side “I think the bandage needs to be changed” I explained. Xavier nodded his head before smirking. “I can do it for you” he said. I blushed a deep red and shook my head, I don’t think I could handle Xavier looking at me in just my underwear. “T– that’s o– okay…” I stuttered out, blushing deeper at the look he was giving me. Xavier let out a laugh and pecked me lightly on the lips “I’m just kidding Shaybear, but if Connor’s not here…” he teased, running his hands up my thighs. I rolled my eyes and slapped his hands away before slowly sitting up “Well let’s go find out then” I said, trying to keep my voice leveled. Yeah that didn’t work, the words came out slightly breathless. He really needed to stop touching me, I couldn’t concentrate properly.

Xavier pouted before following my example. We both stood from the bed and I stretched my arms up, hissing when pain shot through me. Xavier was instantly by my side “Are you alright?” he asked, looking at me worriedly. I grinned and nodded my head “Fine, just stretched a little too much” I said. Xavier grinned before scooping me up in his arms, I let out a squeak of surprise and my arms quickly wrapped themselves around his neck. “Don’t scare me like that you jerk! Now put me down!” I exclaimed, slapping him on the chest as my heart started to slowly go back to its normal pace. Xavier laughed and began to walk out of the room. “Come on Shay, I wouldn’t want my girlfriend overexerting herself.” He said, giving me a teasing wink. I blushed 50 shades of red as the word girlfriend came out of his mouth, it sounded so… right. I couldn’t help but grin and cuddle into his chest “Thanks” I muttered. I felt the rumble in his chest as he laughed “Anything for you” he murmured back as we walked down the stairs.

My heart swelled, was Xavier always this sweet? Because it was seriously adorable the way he was acting with me.

“Connor?” I called out once we reached downstairs. I didn’t hear a reply and frowned, was he not here? Xavier walked us into the kitchen and I saw that it was empty. We checked the living room and instead of finding Connor we found… Trevor. Well… this certainly got awkward quickly. “Hey Trev” I greeted nervously, shifting awkwardly in Xavier’s arms so I could look at him properly. Trevor looked up from the T.V and gave a slight wave in our direction, he turned back to the T.V before his head whipped back so fast I thought it was going to snap off of his neck. His eyes widened in shock before a frown formed on his lips. I gave him a slightly confused look before he glared and raised a brow in our direction. “Care to tell me about your attire?” he questioned, a sour tone to his voice.

My eyes widened in realization, this probably looked really bad… like really, really bad.

I was currently clad in just Xavier’s shirt, while Xavier himself was only wearing his boxers. My hair was probably a frizzy mess, not to mention I was currently cradled into Xavier’s chest… with my thighs exposed. Hastily I got down from Xavier’s arms and smoothed out the shirt I was wearing so that I was at least a little bit more decent. “Erm… I was really tired last night and since I didn’t have my clothes here Xavier let me borrow his… shirt?” I said, it sounded more like a question. The look Trevor was giving me was slightly unnerving. Trevor clicked his tongue “Right… and you couldn’t have come home to grab some clothes? I mean we live right next door!” he pointed out. I bit my lip and looked up at Xavier who was looking at Trevor, I sighed “Well… um…” I said, not really knowing what to say. Thankfully, Xavier stepped in “Shay forgot her key last night, so she couldn’t have opened the door and since it was late we didn’t want to wake anyone up by ringing the bell or knocking on the door” he said, lying smoothly.

I gave him a thankful look and he winked in reply. I looked at Trevor who was scrutinizing us with a weird expression. “That was total bull” he muttered, but sighed “Fine, I’ll let it slide this time, you guys aren’t actually together, so nothing happened… I suppose it’s okay. Only because I feel like shit.” He muttered before flopping back down on the couch. I laughed nervously “Um… about that…” I trailed off causing Trevor to bolt right back up. “What is it Shay?” he asked sharply, I gave him a nervous smile “Well…” I said, moving so Xavier and I were standing a little but closer. I looked up at said boy and saw he had a cocky expression on his face, he looked down at me and smirked. Telling me with his eyes to keep going and that he was enjoying my nervousness. I rolled my eyes and lightly smacked him on the arm. Trevor gave us a confused look “Seriously what’s going on?” he asked, I opened my mouth to tell him but at that moment Connor walked into the room. I breathed a sigh of relief and Xavier chuckled from beside me. My eyebrow twitched in annoyance before I smiled at Connor “Hey Con, we were just looking for you” I said. Connor nodded and smiled back “I was looking for you too, I… needed to talk to you” he lied. Trevor gave us all confused looks before flopping back down on the couch. “I’m too sick to handle this” he muttered.

I gave him a concerned look before walking over to the back of the couch. “What’s wrong?” I asked, bending over slightly to place a hand on his forehead. He seemed a little warm to me… Connor chuckled “Don’t worry about him Shay, it’s just the common cold. You know how overdramatic you’re brother can be sometimes” he teased. I laughed and nodded my head, Xavier walked up beside me and placed his warm arm around my shoulders. He brought me in a little closer and I saw Connor raise a brow at the two of us. I blushed and moved away “Um… come on Con didn’t you need to talk to me?” I asked. Connor chuckled and gestured out of the living room “Well the come on” he said beginning to walk towards the upstairs bathroom. I began to follow behind and I felt Xavier intertwine his fingers with mine. I gave him a curious look and he shrugged “I’m coming” he said before leading me up the stairs.

I shrugged and allowed him to tow me to where Connor was waiting. “Now Shay, I’m going to need you to lift your shirt up so I can change the bandages.” He said. I nodded my head and hopped onto the counter, I began to lift my shirt up until I felt a hand stop me. I looked up and saw Xavier was glaring at Connor “No one can see my girl with just her underwear… well except me of course” he said, smirking at the end. I blushed, my girl, I grinned at how the words sounded coming from his mouth. I looked at Connor and saw he was smirking at me, I blushed and ducked my head so my hair covered my face and covered my blush. Connor chuckled before standing up “When did this happen?” he asked. Xavier grinned “This morning” he replied, sounding proud. Connor laughed and shook his head at his brother “Finally, thank you Shay.” He said, this caused me to give him a confused look. I tilted my head to the side slightly “For what?” I asked. Connor grinned at me “For putting Xavier here out of his misery. You don’t know how long he’s liked you, I think I’ve heard your name more times than you have written it” he told me.

I turned to Xavier and saw he was giving me a sheepish expression, I think I saw a faint blush on his cheeks. I gaped at the East brothers, was Connor serious? I looked at Xavier again and he was giving me a small, nervous, smile. I think my eyes popped out of my head, Xavier? Nervous? I don’t think I’ve ever heard those words in the same sentence. Connor walked over to the door “Well since Xavier won’t be too happy if I change your bandages, I think he can handle it” he said, with one last wink in my direction Connor vanished behind the door. I looked at Xavier and saw he was smirking at me. “Well princess? What do you say we change that bandage of yours?” he questioned, opening the cupboard under the sink to grab a first aid kit.

“You know how?” I asked, Xavier gave me a grin. “Connor taught me a couple things incase he wasn’t around to help me out” he answered. I nodded my head, but inside I was wondered what kind of injury Xavier would have gotten for Connor to worry enough to teach him a couple things. “Well Shaybear, you’re going to have to lift your shirt up now” Xavier pointed out. I blushed heavily “Couldn’t I get some shorts to wear?” I pleaded, Xavier rolled his eyes and shook his head. “Sorry princess but the waistline would cover up the bandages” he said. I sighed as I felt the blush come over my face. That would have meant Connor had seen my undergarments when he stitched me up. I was going to point it out to Xavier but I guess what he doesn’t know won’t hurt him. I slowly began to lift up the shirt, telling myself that it was just like seeing me in a bikini. I lifted the shirt up my stomach and my eyes glanced at Xavier. I saw he was staring at me in an appreciative way, that just made my blush deepen and travel down to my neck. Xavier looked in my eyes and smirked “Huh, looks like they do match” he mused, I gasped and immediately smacked his head. “Xavier!” I shouted.

He gave me a sheepish look “Sorry Shay, I swear I tried not to look but you’re shirt was pretty much in ruins…” he said. I sighed, that meant everybody would have seen my bra. Oh God, why do these embarrassing things happen to me. “And I really liked that top…” I muttered, Xavier chuckled and placed a hand on my cheek. “I’ll buy you a new one” he said, I blushed and averted my eyes “Um... err… you don’t… uh… have to do that” I stuttered. Xavier grinned, but didn’t say anything in return. He just grabbed the bandages and motioned for me to look away, I happily obliged. As much as I wanted to know what was on my skin, I don’t think I could handle looking at the stitches. “Maybe we should take these off as well… they’re in my way” he teased, pulling lightly on the edges of my underwear. I gasped and slapped his hands away “NO WAY!” I shouted. Xavier laughed and gave me a small peck. “I was kidding Shay, I respect you too much for that. But I do need you to pull the top down a bit. I promise to be fast.” He said. I looked over at Xavier and saw he was giving me a sincere look. I trusted Xavier, and I knew he wouldn’t do anything I didn’t like.

“Okay, I trust you” I said, and brought down the top slightly so it wasn’t covering the bandages.

As Xavier worked at my side, I tried to repress the shiver that wanted to break loose as his fingers lightly brushed my skin. He worked slowly but skillfully. I winced a couple of times and Xavier would shoot me an apologetic look. When he finally finished he slowly grasped my hand in his and tugged the underwear back into place. Then he took my shirt and tugged it back down so it was covering me once more. I hopped down from the counter and gave Xavier a small hug “Thank you” I said. He grinned and intertwined our fingers “Anytime” Xavier replied, before towing me out of the bathroom and back to his room.

I sighed and flopped down onto the bed, a yawn escaped my mouth and my eyes watered. I was actually still pretty tired, I think my hunger from before vanished after my embarrassing encounter with the East brothers. Xavier walked over to his closet and came back holding a towel “I’m going to go and take a shower, be back in a couple minutes” he said before coming over to kiss me. I smiled and nodded my head “Okay, I’ll be here” I said. Xavier grinned and walked towards the bathroom. I heard the shower turn on and I curled up under the comforter. My eyes slowly began to close and soon enough I was captured in the land of dreams.

* * * * * *

When I woke up it was 8 o’clock, dinner time and after a couple kisses Xavier finally took me home. I carefully showered and changed into my own comfy sweatpants and cami. Xavier had gone home, but would more than likely be by later to have dinner with Trevor and I. We both decided that it would probably be best to keep our relationship on the secret side, okay I decided that I wanted it to be on the secret side. I don’t think I could handle all the people at school, their looks and Xavier’s fan girls. I sighed and slumped onto the couch with Trevor. “Hey Trev, how are you feeling?” I asked. Trevor gave me a tired look, “Like shit” he answered. I sighed and placed my hand to his forehead, frowning when he felt warmer than he should. “Do you have a headache?” I asked, he nodded his head and let out a small cough. “It feels like there’s a tennis ball in my throat while little, but fat, dinosaurs have a stomping competition in my head” he said. I couldn’t help but laugh, even when he was sick my brother is one of the weirdest people I have ever met.

I stood up from the couch and went to the kitchen grab some Tylenol for him, I also took a glass and filled it with water. “Have you eaten yet?” I asked, Trevor shook his head and I sighed. “I’ll make you some soup then you take this Tylenol and go to bed” I instructed. Trevor shot me an amused grin “Yes mom” he teased and I rolled my eyes but let a small grin slip onto my face as I walked into the kitchen. I grabbed the classic chicken noodle soup and a pot from the cupboard, I then opened the can. I placed the soup into the pot and turned the stove on, I began to stir occasionally as I stared out the window aimlessly. When the soup was finished I grabbed the bowl and poured some of the soup into it. Carefully I walked back into the living room and smiled softly when I saw Trevor had fallen asleep.

I placed the soup on the small table in front of him, next to the Tylenol and water so he could have some when he woke up. I grabbed the blanket from the other couch and placed it over his body, my brother may be older than me but he can act like a huge kid sometimes. I never really minded it, and I still don’t. Trevor was my brother and I would do anything for him, just like he would for me. I loved him a lot, even if he does love to tease and annoy me. I gave him a small kiss on the forehead and he stirred slightly “Call me if you need anything” I said, Trevor nodded. “Thanks Sis” he mumbled before falling back asleep. I turned the T.V off and left a lamp on so he would have some source of light. I walked to my room and grabbed my phone, I saw there was a missed call and text from my mom.

To: Shaylee

From: Mom

Hi sweetie, I just wanted to let you know that your father and I will be coming home late tonight. I expect you and Trevor to be in bed by the time we get home. Well… you better be in bed, we both know how your brother is. Anyways, call me if anything happens alright? I love you Shaylee!

 – Mom and Dad

I sighed, another late night? What was going on with those two? This is like the fourth night in a row, I sighed before quickly texting her a reply. I told her Trevor was sick but that he fell asleep before plugging it in the charger. I closed my eyes for a minute before my phone beeped once again, I groaned and reached for the thing. Instantly butterflies began to flutter in my stomach when I saw it wasn’t my mom but Xavier.

To: Shaybear

From: Xavier- The sexiest boyfriend alive

Wait a second, when did he change his name? When did he even get my phone!? I shook my head and couldn’t help it as a small laugh escaped my lips. That boy…

Mind if I come over for a bit?

I grinned and turned towards the window, only to find Xavier already looking at me with a small grin etched on his face. I nodded my head in agreement and saw a full smile stretch on his face, it was enough to make my heart race. I looked down and saw he had texted me once again but this time it said:

Open the window

I slowly got up and walked over to the window before slowly unlatching it so I could stick my head out. I gasped slightly when I saw Xavier sitting on his windowsill and slowly moving towards the tree in between our windows. “What are you doing?” I hissed, most likely sounding frantic and scared– which I most definitely was. Xavier rolled his eyes at me “Calm down Shay, I’ll be fine. Now move out of the way so I can come in” he instructed. I opened my window wider and slowly moved out of the way. “You’re going to fall!” I hissed as I watched him move smoothly onto the tree. Xavier chuckled and shook his head at me “Have you no faith?” he chided, moving towards my window. I watched with worry as he effortlessly climbed over to my window, I couldn’t help but be a little jealous. If I had tried to do that I would have fallen and broken… well everything, including the tree!

I let out a strangled yelp as Xavier swung himself into my room, Xavier chuckled at me as he landed perfectly on the balls of his feet. I let out a breath and smacked his arm “Next time use the door like a normal person!” I exclaimed, going to sit on my bed. Xavier chuckled and walked over to sit with me. Well actually he picked me up and sat me on his lap, I blushed as he buried his face in my hair. “You have no idea how long I’ve been waiting for this” he muttered against my neck as his arms wound themselves around my waist until his hands rested on my stomach. My face scrunched up in confusion “Waiting for what?” I asked. Xavier chuckled and kissed the back of my neck, I shivered slightly at the contact.

 “To finally be able to have you in my arms and call you mine” he whispered, tightening his grip around me.

I grinned and turned around to give him a small, chaste kiss. “Have you always been this sweet?” I mumbled against his lips. Xavier grinned “Only when your around” he teased, I giggled and turned back around so I could lean against his chest. For an hour Xavier and I relaxed and talked until he suddenly remembered something.“Oh I meant to tell you, Alec is coming down. His parents are going out of town for a while and Connor and I are designated as his babysitters” Xavier grumbled, sounding a bit unhappy. I grinned “Is he really? I love Alec! He is so adorable!” I exclaimed. Alec was Xavier’s younger cousin and the cutest kid you will ever meet, I used to baby sit him all the time. Well actually I still do occasionally, the lived a couple towns over and were close with my parents since Alec’s dad was Xavier’s dad’s brother. Alec always followed me around like a cute little duckling it’s been a year since I saw him so he should be six by now.

“When is he coming?” I asked, Xavier sighed “Next Monday” he replied. I rolled my eyes at his unenthusiastic reply “Come on, you know you love Alec” I said, Xavier chuckled but didn’t say anything. He knew I loved kids, I began to think about fun things I could do with Alec. I’ll probably bring him to the park… arcade… hm… maybe that place with the giant ball pit. Xavier kissed my neck again “Earth to Shaylee” he muttered. I shook my head and blushed “Sorry” I replied sheepishly. Xavier chuckled “I must admit, I’m a little jealous of the attention Alec is getting from you. Considering he’s not even here” he teased, but I could see the hint of truth in his eyes. I chuckled “Aw, Zavey is jealous of a six year old” I teased, pinching his cheek. Xavier rolled his eyes and grabbed my hand, linking our fingers together.

“Of course not, Alec can’t do this now can he?” Xavier said.

I was about to ask what but I soon found myself straddling Xavier and his lips on mine. My eyes instinctively closed and I ran my fingers through his hair as he kissed the life out of me. I sighed happily and leaned in closer so we were chest to chest. Xavier let out a growl like sound and, if possible he pressed his lips harder against mine. His lips leave mine and trail down to my neck, kissing and nipping mercilessly at it. This felt amazing, my head tilted backwards to give him more access. My eyes opened briefly and I saw that it was nearing eleven o’clock, when he got here it was nine. “Xavier…” I said, it was meant to sound firm but came out sounding like a moan. Xavier looked up at me and I could see how that little action affected him.

“Now that you’re my girlfriend, I’m going to take advantage of it and make up for lost time” he murmured, bringing me in for a hug. I smiled into his neck, I knew he meant more than just assaulting me with his heavenly lips. He was going to make up for the time when he made me hate him, he was going to act like the Xavier I knew. The one I fell for when we were kids, the one that– and I will only admit this once, the one that I married when we were six. He was a prankster as well as a bad boy and a secret sweetheart. I sighed and reluctantly got off of him “We have school tomorrow, you need to go home” I said. Xavier groaned and tried to pull me back to him “Can’t I just stay over?” he whined, pouting childishly. I rolled my eyes and smiled “Not tonight, I need some quality time with my bed” I said as I towed him down the stairs.

Xavier halted me and I gave him a questioning look until realization dawned on me. “You are not leaving through that window” I stated firmly. Xavier chuckled and walked back to the window “Who’s going to stop me?” he asked, a smirk coming over his face as an air of mischievousness surrounded me. I rolled my eyes and threw my hands up in the air “Fine have it your way” I said as he sat on the windowsill.

“But if you fall and break your neck, don’t blame me” I muttered, watching as he stood on a branch. Xavier grinned and leaned over to place a soft kiss on my forehead “Then I’ll just have to designate you as my personal, and very sexy, nurse. We could have a sexy little outfit and everything” he teased. I blushed a bright red and shooed him “Goodnight Xavier” I said, his face softened “Goodnight Shay” with one more kiss he was out the window and back into his room.

He sent me a wink before closing the window and curtains in his room. I rolled my eyes and went to curl up in my warm and comfy bed, I grinned when I smelt his intoxicating sent on my pillow and blanket. That boy…

And he was all mine…
