Paris smiled and conversed with a few of Xavier's colleagues as he spoke with others. It was just like the meetings she would take with Shane except the discussions were very different.
The topics were different, the numbers were different. Their lives were different Everything was different.
She nodded and smiled as she pretended to be interested in anything they were saying. Besides the designer clothes and shoes they wore, Paris had nothing in common with the women there.
"Damn I need a drink !!" She thought to herself .. only causing her to become more frustrated ..
A whole hour had passed since she had finished off her steak, and potatoes. She was now sleepy, irritated and hungry again. The child inside of her was cutting her no slack.
"You okay ?" X asked, his voice almost a whisper
"I'm tired .. I think I'm gonna head out .." Paris replied ..
"Already ? I got a whole night planned .. a plan that includes me makin love to you on a yacht .. and tomorrow we fly out to the Caribbean.. " Xavier whispered into her ear ..
Smiling, Paris sighed .. "I need to be with my kids .." She said .. The idea sounded good but she wasn't going to be able to leave Miami at the moment even if she wanted to.
But she also didn't want to dismiss X entirely ..
"Well how about we stay here, I take you to breakfast in the mornin then you can go .." He said
"Okay, but I'm ready to go .." She said
"Paris.. Xavier told us you own a few businesses of your own .. care to share ? We'd love to support you" Angelo, one of X's coworkers asked ..
"Well they're not really mine, they belong to my ex husband .. my name is just attached .." She replied, honestly ..
"Who is he ? If you don't mind me asking .." He asked ..
"Shan.." Before Paris could get his name out of her mouth good Xavier, cut her off ..
"I think we're gonna head out .. It's getting late .." Xavier said
"Already ?" Another one of his coworkers asked
"Yeah, Paris not feeling too good .." He said, standing up ..
Not hesitating, Paris got up too .. She was more than ready to go anyway.
"Well, it was nice meeting you Paris. I hope to see you again soon." Lauren, another one of X's coworkers said as she stood up to give her a hug..
Paris embraced her, followed by everyone else and then they headed for the exit. Glancing at the time
on her phone, Paris wondered was Shane still at the house with the kids.
Sending him a quick text, "You're still at the house ?" She asked ..
Entering the backseat of Xavier's car. He got in shortly after and the driver took off.
Then Paris phone vibrated
"Yes" Shane replied
"Who you texting ?" X asked
"Shane .." Paris replied, her fingers moving across the screen ..
Xavier shook his head .. "About him .." He said
"What about him ?" Paris asked, pressing send on her phone ..
"Did you talk to your son ?" The text message read
"You almost told a group of my coworkers and my boss that you're the ex wife to Shane Carter. Everybody know of Shane's reputation Paris. You think that was smart ?" He asked
