Xavier's POV
After texting Ava, I decided to go to the meeting that Joseph was holding.
I got dressed and wrote my mom a quick note telling her I went out.
When I arrived one of the security guards Joey greeted me at the door. I smiled and did our manly shake and I went in to sit down at the large glass table.
"Welcome again everyone. Today's meeting will be discussing why we do this company.", Joseph said looking at this guy I've never seen before.
"This is Ricky, and he is our new member." Everyone nodded at him.
"So, I will be explaining the reason we do this company.", he said sitting down.
"Well, back in the 8th grade my dad ran this company. It was one of the biggest, and thats how he met my mom. My dad created this company for basically helpless girls who aren't capable of finding a soulmate."
I clenched my jaw. Ava isn't hopeless.
"So we basically come into girl's life's, and not necessarily ruin it, but make it better. It last about a month, and we make them fall in love with us. Some of us need more than a month to win our girls' heart." He said looking at me. I rolled my eyes and glared at him.
"Some may call us "fuckboys" or "players" but all we really want to do is make their life better. As soon as they fall in love with us and we leave, they then realize they CAN still find love, and theres someone out there for them." He said looking at Ricky.
"However, there are rules.", he said firmly.
"You cannot, must not, even think about falling in love with your girl. There's no way. It would ruin our company, and it would ruin the purpose of why we're doing this."
"If you fall in love, you are immediately thrown out of this company," He said looking everyone in the eye.
"Don't try to lowkey fall in love, because we always know if you're lying or if your whipped. So don't try to lie, because it will result in serious consequences. We aren't trying to run a thug gang or anything, but you must follow our guidelines, or you will receive harsh punishment," Joseph explained looking at Ricky.
Ricky gulped and looked down. He did not know what he was getting himself into.
I rolled my eyes and shook my head. Joseph is all talk. "Any thing to say, Xavier?," he said glaring daggers in my skull.
I shook my head. "No Joseph, not at all", I said looking the other way.
"Okay, then. Meeting dismissed," he said waving us away. Everyone scattered around to talk.
"I really hope you're not falling for your girl," he said walking up to me.
"I'm not falling for anyone, drop it," I lied. He chuckled.
"Xavier, I know when you're falling in love. But just to warn you, it never ends good," He said walking away to go speak to Ricky.
I clenched my fist and ran my hands through my curly oversized hair. I was falling for Ava, hard. I was starting to actually fall in love with her. I knew I couldn't, but I was.
"Yo, what's on your mind bro?", Nate said coming over to me. I shook my head.
"You wouldn't believe me anyways," I said looking around.
"Tell me," he said hitting my arm. I sighed.
"I think im falling in love with-"
"Hold up nigga, love?? No way," he chuckled deeply. I looked around to make sure no one was eavesdropping.
