I saw Sir Xavier in his dark grey suit in the party room, he was chatting with some people. While I'm with Kate and Nora.
I'm waiting for a chance to ask him to drive me later. Getting him needs a bit of drama seems, can't be like Miranda, too pushy.
The opportunity came when I saw him preparing to come out. I didn't insist on talking to him at the party because as I thought he wasn't comfortable with being in public. Maybe she saw me, I've dressed up pretty today instead. Besides I'm sure he doesn't like to brag about kemesra*an in public.
He walked slowly while looking at the phone towards the outside, now I will catch up with him.
"Xavier, ..." He said I could call his name. No sir's call tonight. I walked closer to him. My red dress fell across the floor, she looked at me with a dazzled look I guess, I was trying to look beautiful in this dress.
But it's hard, I'm not so used to this long dress sweeping the floor.
"May you help me..." I took the opportunity to grab and hold her arm. Grip our first time, without excuse.
"You okay?" As usual he was moved if someone needed help.
"This is a troublesome. I'm afraid of falling. I'm sorry I need your arm." I smiled at him. The reason is ridiculous but it seems that my acting is quite convincing.
"It's okay." I don't see any rejection from him. He let me hold his arm without being disturbed. "I'm taking you to the parking lot? Or are you wearing vallet parking in the lobby?"
"I'm in a taxi, my car's in a repair shop for routine maintenance." Is he going to offer to drive me? Please, take me... It's not nice for a pretty girl to take a taxi by herself. I need help.
"Want you to take me?" Those words made me cheer with joy in my heart.
"Don't it bother you?"
"No." Now I'm sure he didn't reject me at least. I just need to keep us close and be patient not to push him.
"But in the basement, I don't wear a vallet. You want me to pick you up in the lobby or come down."
"Not what am I going downstairs." As long as I can hold your arm. Somehow he did not talk much, the atmosphere was a bit awkward, maybe this man also had his own nervousness. Even if he's older than me.
"You're back in Westbury?"
"Yes, I used to spend weekends there. Change the atmosphere of Manhanttan concrete forest."
"May I come tomorrow." He saw me looking at him with his arm rests in the middle of the Audi A8.
"Why do you want to come?"
"My answer is, may I come? You said I could come anytime." It's fun driving with him and teasing him.
"What you're looking for there, there's only a garden there."
"I'm looking for free strawberries, and Alma." He laughed at my answer. No, I wouldn't say I'm looking for it, it would be too easy. He's the one who has to say he's looking for me.
"All right, it's up to you."
"Is Victor still bothering you?" He's looking for a conversation.
"He complained to his mother, I made my mother handle her complaints. There's no problem, I guess."
"Your mom knows you're having dinner with me."
"He knows, ..." It turned out that my parents' opinion with this relationship was very important to him.
"He didn't ask?"
"I told you we're best friends because you help me a lot." I'd like to ask. Do you want to ask my father's permission to take me to dinner? But I don't think it's time yet. It has to be between us first. "Can I consider you a friend? Or for you I'm just a young girl who's not worth your level and experience."
"When have I ever said that?"
"so. Yeah okay." Tonight confirmed two things, first he did not consider me a bully, and he admitted it or not, Sir Xavier seemed to be interested in me only he was very careful with my status. Like I said if maybe he should ask my dad for permission to ask me out, but he should tell me first. Does he dare.
I enjoyed the ride later, just a short trip where the party was not far from my apartment.
"So you're going to Westbury tomorrow?" I looked at him because of his question.
"Can't you? If you can't tell me now."
"I told you you could come anytime." All right, come by anytime. What if I don't come? Is he gonna find me. My mind plays by itself.
I was immersed in my own thoughts while enjoying the ride, liking it to feel a little thumping fun like this.
"Wasn't that chasing you a lot, why don't you ask someone to accompany you." A very blatant question.
"No interest." I answered lightly. Not even looking at him.
I'm interested in you. Since I'm here, it's definitely not. Are you just a fool not knowing. She's quiet. It's okay, I will patiently wait until he dares to take the next step. Must be from him.
"Why?" Gosh darn. He should ask why. I let out a breath.
"They're all too handsome." I answered curiously, but I looked at him.
He kept his smile. By then we were almost in my lobby apartment. I'm getting ready to get off.
"We're here, thanks Xavier,..." I don't wear Sir's frills anymore in front of his name.
"See you tomorrow?" A question that means asking.
"See you tomorrow."
I agree to his invitation. I stepped up and did not look back. The mission tonight was pretty successful.
Tomorrow I go to Westbury, like I said I'm there to find Alma and strawberry grads.
