Xan's POV
"Fucking hell!" I groan slamming my fist on the desk. The stress I felt at the moment was unreal and it's pissing me off.
Why the fuck wont she get out of my head?
I abruptly stand from my desk making my way into the kitchen to find something that would ease that stress.
Vodka.
Grabbing a bottle from the pantry, I pop it open drinking straight from the top not bothering to even grab a glass. The burn makes my eyes flutter shut yet I continue to down it anyways.
Ease the stress.
Ever sense earlier with that idiotic business helping lady—— whatever the hell she was. I've been debating on if I should sit down to talk to her about the offer.
Truthfully the entire idea and situation is very serious and could be extremely helpful or detrimental to my business. Lord knows I wouldn't say it out loud, but Sage is very good at was she does.
Jade had a great proposal about me and Sage's businesses. We would definitely be even more successful working with each other. Two bright minds working together, would be untouchable.
Problem is we cant fucking stand each other.
Taking another swig of vodka, I pick up my phone to call Leo my annoying ass 'close friend'. It rings a few times, causing me to become immediately irritated.
Why the hell is he taking so long to answer the phone.
"Is my bestie actually calling me first for once?" Leo finally answers in a sarcastic voice.
"Could you not?!" I groan already regretting my decision of calling in the first place.
"You're no fun. What's up bro?" He asks making me sigh.
"Lets go out to dinner I need your opinion on something." I say hoping he wouldn't question it until then.
"Taking me to dinner already? Im flattered Xan" Leo practical shirks in my ear.
"Leo I swear-"
"Sorry Xanny pooh! send me the address."
"Alright," I reply hanging up before he can say something to piss me off. Closing the vodka, I began. making my way to my car.
Me and Leo have been friends since we were kids, almost constantly getting into trouble together. Overtime I did grow out of it but Leo, not so much. Now for some damn reason I'm the one always getting him out of all the trouble, and damn does it get irritating.
I remember one time when we were both 16 we fucked up. Being young and all we were curious and stupid. By stupid I mean we accidentally got both of our entire fucking families high.
Flash back*
It was a late Saturday evening and our families were having a party night. The chef had just made his way to the bathroom, and Leo appeared grinning way to happily. chef
