19-Ryders

~Xavier Hernandez~

My head is pounding. I wake up to see that Stella is still asleep, her chest against my chest. Her leg is across my body, her head under my chin. I don't move because I don't want to wake her up. I did not forget about last night, how we almost had sex.

For a while I still laid there, running my hands through her hair until she finally woke up around 10 am.

"Good morning." Stella said as she rolled over, stretching her arms in the air. I sat up, rubbing my eyes. I feel like absolute shit.

"Good morning too you" I got out of the bed and went to the bathroom, as Im washing my hands Stella comes in. I look up in the mirror to notice her sitting on the toilet peeing.

"You seem to have an issue with everything." She rolls her eyes.

"I do not." I grunted, looking away from the mirror and back down to my hands. I finished washing my hands when Stella went over to her sink and turned on the fossett.

"Im going to shower so get out." She turned on the shower and put it all the way to hot as I walked out, shutting the door behind me. I lay back in bed, scrolling through my work emails on my phone until Stella finishes showering.

"XAVIER." Stella shrieks, banging comes behind the closed door. I jump out of the bed and run towards the bathroom door, whipping it open with wide eyes.

"What's wrong ?!" I look her over, seeing if she hurt herself.

"LOOK at what you mother fucking did!" She stomps right up to me,  angling her neck to the side. I look down to see the exposed hickeys I left behind from last night. Okay, this may be the only thing I don't remember from last night. My hand goes right to my jaw.

"Do you have an issue with them?" I give her a look.

"Yes I do! What am I supposed to do? Go downstairs to everyone and let them see the hickeys? Or say hey everybody Xavier and I almost had sex!" She pushes past me, her face is very red from being mad. I cant help but laugh, following behind her. She walks out, her towel wrapped around her and her hair dripping wet. She pulls out a pair of non-ripped jeans and throws them at me. Its starting to get chillier here in Spain.

I catch her jeans. "Don't be angry at me, I didn't mean to." I feel a smile creeping up on my face.

"Oh yeah sure, like I totally believe that." Shes throwing different shirts on the ground. "I dont have anything that will cover it." She turns and faces me.

"Makeup?" I question.

"DO YOU SEE HOW DARK THESE ARE?"  She aggressively points to her neck. She's scaring me a little bit if I am not going to lie.

"Hm. Not my issue."  I smirk. She is getting more angry by the second. "Fuck you Xavier." She flips me off before walking out of the room and into Olyvias. After a couple of minutes she comes back in, holding a turtle neck. She completely ignores me.  

"Salient treatment? Really?" I cross my arms in front of me. Stella still gripping onto her towel, lets go of one hand and flips me off before slamming the bathroom door. I shake my head, laughing before laying back down on the bed.

As I'm answering a few emails, my phone starts ringing. Stellas head pokes around the bathroom door, seeing if it is her phone or not. I look at the screen, seeing that it is my father calling.

"Hola padre, todo bien?" I sit up in the bed, nodding at Stella to go back to what she was doing.
(Translation: Hello father, everything okay?)

"Necesitamos hablar. Es muy importante." My father said, not sounding very pleased.
(Translation: We need to talk. It's very important.)

"Well then, tell me what is wrong." I am starting to get annoyed. Stella comes out of the bedroom and points to the door, telling me she is going downstairs. I nod my head at her, before completely standing up off the bed.
