Chapter 21

"Oh my god where the hell have you been? One minute you were partying, the next your front page on the newspaper and then you vanish of the face of the earth without warning. Where the hell are you? What the hell has gone on? And why the hell didn't you ring me? You better come up with one hard assed excuse missy or your in for it."

I had woken up this morning to see that Xavier had left a note.

'Just gone to the market to get some food. Back in a bit. Love you.

Xavier xx'

So I took the opportunity to ring Bella to update her on all the drama that had happened since I last saw her. And boy was she angry.

I laughed as she reprimanded me.

"It's a long story." I mumbled, thinking about all the dramatic event that had manage to squish themselves into a couple of days.

"Well I'm sitting comfortably." She probed.

So I told her everything. From the mistake with Chad, to Stacia practically selling the story to the paps, to being whisked away to this amazing resort and then finally about Xavier and me.

"Whoa hold up! You had a one night stand with Chad? I never actually believed the papers. God you must have been drunk, but I did try to warn you.."

"I know." I but in. "And I'm sorry about that, I should have listened to my best friend instead of dismissing her. I hope she will forgive me?"

"Well....." There was a pause. "Of course I do you daft duck. So Xavier said he loves you? And you said it back? I'm sorry but are we in some sort of parallel universe here of something. I thought he was annoying and arrogant."

"Yeah he is. But that's why I love him." that corney statement cam out before i had chance to stop it. I smiled to myself as thoughts of Xavier popped into my head.

"I always said he was a fine piece of bacon."

"You sure did Bells." I laughed.

"So let me get this straight, after that, sorry but it has to be said, major stupid and dumb mistake" Stacia told the paps, Xavier carried you out like a night in shining armour after you had practically passed out, then the king and queen decided to whisk you of to a private resort, which they bought at the drop of a hat, then Xavier confessed his love after been given some creepy mojo bracelets, a love which you returned."

"Pretty much."

She then burst out laughing.

"God your life is like 10 upper class soap operas rolled in to one."

"Thanks." I replied rolling my eyes.

"So what was it like?" She whispered.

"What was what like?" I played dumb although I knew exactly what she was talking about.

"You know what I'm talking about."

"Honestly, I can hardly remember but his kisses were sloppy and gross."

"Did it hurt?"

"At first." I answered truthfully.

She whistled. "I cannot believe you've just lost your virginity to a random guy."

"Me neither." I answered.

"But hey it's in the past now, and you've got Xaaaaaaavier." She giggled drawing out his name.

I giggled back, happiness washing over me.

"Sure do."

After I had wished her a merry Christmas and her me we said our goodbyes. Me being made to promise to ring if anything else major happened. Which hopefully it wouldn't.
