The Cocky Mr.Xavier

Chapter 11

Mr.Xavier's POV

________________________________________________________________________

The door shut quietly and I was left standing alone in the middle of the apartment in desperate need of a cold shower for my little buddy and grumbling to myself. 

"Of course you're not like most people, most people wouldn't make me work for it...." I was still grumbling to myself when Mrs. Dunkin walked in.

"Boy you better keep an eye on that one." She looked at me with amusement in her eyes

"What are you talking about?"

" Please I've worked for you personally for seven years, and not once have you ever actually seemed interested in a girl. The only people you've brought over are your little uh.... friends for a night. Now there she is just out of your reach. You haven't had someone treat you like a normal person since before I've met you, now here she is. Don't let her go. Plus that little girl of hers is precious. I miss when my grandchildren were her age, I'm offering my babysitting services for whenever."

I just looked at her, I've known Mrs.Dunkin sinced I've moved into this building. She cleans and cooks for me, hell she takes care of me pretty much. If it was left to me I wouldn't eat very often and this place would be a mess, she was sort of like a grandmotherish figure for me.

"Please I could have anyone I like without breaking a sweat, why would I go for her?"

"Because you can have anyone you like with no effort, except her."

"She's got a child."

"A well behaved child which she has raised on her own from what I understand from little Delilah. You already know she's a wonderful mother. You're getting older, it's time you start to get serious with someone and settle down."

"I'm not interested in her." I was starting to get frustrated, She was right about everything. If it wasn't Mrs.Dunking I would have fired her by now.

"Sure sweety, that's why your friends wide awake." Mrs. Dunkin winked and looked down.

I looked down and sure enough my friend was still wide awake, shit. My face turned a little pink and I rushed out of there headed towards the shower.

"Mrs. Dunkin you can uhh.. leave for the night that's all I'm going to go take a shower."

I just heard laughter from the front room and the door shut. Jesus Christ that lady has no filter. That's probably why I like her though, she's not afraid to speak her mind around me, very rarely do I come across people like her......and Alexandria.

*After the shower*

I got out of the shower after handling a couple of problems of problems of mine. I walked out of the bathroom in a towel and walked onto my balcony where it was nice and breezy. Scenes from earlier in the evening crossed my mind. I have never had a woman try and play me, yet Alexandria did and I'm not even the slightest bit peeved. I can't be mad at her.

 How can a woman like this actually exist. One who doesn't seem to be phased by any of my advances, be intelligent, not be swayed by either my looks or my money or my status, raise a well mannered little girl as a single mother, an........ Wait she said earlier she didn't know who the father was. If she doesn't even know who the father is why is she making me try so hard.

She doesn't seem the type to just sleep around? But how did Delilah come into the picture. What happened that caused her to have a child and not know who the father is? I though I'd learn more about her after this evening but all I ended up with was more question. Plus I still can't get her off my mind. Why is she doing this to me?

 Face it William You've fallen for her. You can't get her off your mind. She's beautiful, intelligent, witty. She's a challenge, and for once in you're life she's a girl that's untouchable to you. 

I sighed and rolled over. I've known Alexandria for such a little period of time and somehow she's infatuated me.I haven't sleep well in weeks because of her. I need to know more about her, I have to spend more time with her, If I don't I'm going to go insane.

I rolled over trying to get some sleep but severely doubting it. I was contemplating how I was going to see her next, and I think I might just have an idea.

Alexandria's POV

_____________________________________________________________

I walked to the bus stop with Deli still asleep on my shoulder. I still had a faint smile on my face. Sure he's an arrogant, self-centered, egotistical man, but at times I find myself enjoying spending time with him, he's fun to tease that's for sure.

I froze for a second as soon as that thought crossed my mind,

No, No, No, No, No, Alex you DO NOT enjoy spending time or teasing him. He's forced himself on you, pretty much called you a tramp, and hit you with his car.

My shoulders slumped forward again, of course the after thought was definitely more reasonable. I couldn't have anything to do with this man even if I wanted to. I have Deli to take care of, and he was just so hard headed and arrogant, he doesn't even know how to take no for an answer. There's no way I could ever let myself like him, even as a friend. Besides he's a powerful business man that's just looking for a quick lay, when he didn't get that, he got curious that's all.

At that moment the bus pulled up and I boarded. The driver smiled at me when he saw Deli asleep on my shoulder. I deposited my money and sat down on the mostly empty bus. After my sudden realization I feel like a bubble in my stomach popped. I felt drained and I definitely needed a good nap.

Once the bus pulled up to my stop I exited and headed up to my room to get Deli changed and tucked into bed. She still had yet to wake up. I walked to her room and changed her into her nightgown and then headed to my room.

Even though I was exhausted I just couldn't seem to fall asleep. Mr. Xavier was still on my mind. I don't know why either. I know his type. I know I should distance myself as much as possible, which I have tried and he's made nearly impossible. I don't even know why I'm thinking of him like this, I never thought as him as anything more than a dude who hit me with his car and then attacked me.

I guess at dinner I just saw a different side of him. I've never actually been able to sit down and have a conversation with him, normally were arguing or about to get into an argument. Sighing I ran my hand across my face and rolled over, hopefully I can get some sleep tonight.
