That Girl: Book ONE [COMPLETED]

Chapter Twenty Two

After Mama, the kids and I completed dinner, I cleaned up the kitchen as mama prepared them for bed. I still couldn't get Di of my mind because she rested heavily on my heart. I wasn't her biggest fans and she wasn't mine but if I could I would help but she didn't want it.

I went upstairs unlocking my room door and went to take a shower. It had been a long day and I was seriously exhausted. I knew I promised Xavier something special but I wasn't feeling it. All I wanted to do was study and fall asleep.

I pulled out my favorite pjs with a sports bra and a tee shirt as I prepared for a shower. I carried my phone with me in the bathroom anticipating Xavier's call. I didn't bother calling him because I wasn't interested is a disagreement. Xavier was sweet and one of kind but he wasn't understanding; which made me afraid that he could be controlling later on in our relationship.

I completed my shower, washing my hair while at it too before I collapsed on my bed. I laid there for a good 5 minutes resting my body. Just as I reached beside my bed for my schoolbag, my cellphone rang. I picked it up, taking a long deep breath as I saw Xavier's name appeared.

"Hello." I answered tiredly as I exhale.

"I noticed you weren't home yet." He said ignoring my greeting.

"Yea I came home by my mama after getting grocery and got a little tired. So I decided to crash here for tonight because I didn't feel like driving." I said truthfully. I honestly love Xavier and everything he did but I started to feel he wasn't going to be the type to allow space between us.

"I notice, thats why I came for you." He said shocking me. I paused a minute as I opened my room door and walk door stairs. I pecked through the frontroom window seeing Xavier's jeep out front. I opened my mouth in utter shock as I thought about what to say.

"Oh, um do you want to see me?" I asked in disbelief.

"Beyonce don't play games. Get your things and lets go." He said sternly with a little more force.

"Xavier, I really feel-" I started to whine before he cut me of.

"Look, you've been up under your mother for about how many years. 22? She'll do a night without you. I'll be here waiting. Don't take to long." He said as he clicked the phone off.

I starred at my cellphone noticing the call hanged up. I decided to pack my schoolbag and a few more clothes and head towards the front door. I grabbed my keys and shoes holding onto the door handle before opening it. I really hoped what Kelly said earlier wouldn't become a reality. When it came to my love life I was practically already on my knees, I didn't need to be thrown on my face.

I opened the frontdoor, locking it and checking the door again. I unlocked my car door, taking out the things I purchased at the mall and placed them in the back seat of Xavier's jeep along with my backpack and dufflebag. I hopped in the front seat trying to remain calm but in all honesty I wanted to cuss him to pieces.

"You mad at me?" He asked smirking as pulling out the driveaway.

"No. I just want to sleep and study." I said annoyed.

"You could sleep at the penthouse like you've been doing for the pass few weeks. Why the sudden change?" He asked turning onto the highway.

"No reason." I replied.

"You gotta have a reason. I mean you were all happy this morning, I gave you money and now you want to abort the plan?" He asked making me same like a gold digger. "It don't work like that baby girl." He said turning to face me. This is why I don't accept money for niggas, they always felt like they are owed something.
