Living with a Ghoul

Chapter 13: Three Words

Since Red has been talking non-stop about this go cart track down town I kinda remembered the directions. I wasn't eaves dropping on her phone calls with Aaron she just talks really loud. I pay for my ticket and begin scoping the place trying to find Red. No sign, maybe she's racing with the guys.

Leaning against the wall I see a couple laughing and eating cotton candy together. I've tried to eat human food before but it leaves a bad taste in my mouth and I can't do it. I would like to see why they find it so interesting and good though. I feel bad for Ray, he won't have a normal childhood. No ghoul children live good lives I guess. Im gonna try my best to give it to him though.

Soon I hear a familiar voice. A voice I've resented for years. I look around the corner and see Xavier and Red. They were playing an arcade game that involved shooting zombies. How typical, he was pressed up on her and guiding her as she shot. It made me wanna throw up. I needed to get him alone so I could tell him to stay away from Red. Who know's what he might do to her if this goes on. I casually walk out from my hiding spot and the first person to notice me is Aaron. Dammit so much for my perfect encounter. 

"Hey Royce I didn't know Gabby invited you."  Aaron wraps his arm around Thomas and Red quickly turns causing Xavier to move away.

"Gabby invited who?" Red looks up confused. When she notices me I smile. I then look at Xavier who was behind her giving me the coldest stare. I can't wait to bash his skull in. "Hey babe remember you said you wanted me to come after my appointment," I lie and pull Red into a quick kiss. It wasn't real but god knows I wanted it to be. Red seems taken aback by the kiss and I grin down at her. I could tell Xavier's blood was boiling.

Got him.

"Aw look at the two love birds,  how cute." Thomas gushes and I put my arm around Red's shoulder. Xavier stares me down cursing me with his eyes. He forces a smile however and asks, "Gabby why didn't you tell me you had a boyfriend?"

Red giggles and answers jokingly, "Je ne sais pas." I smirk so she speaks french...cute.

"C'est parfaitement bien, tant que Royce ne vous dérange pas de partager votre beauté." Xavier responds biting his lip and I glare. Red laughs a little but looked confused. I assume she wasn't as fluent as I am.

He's such a dick even if we were really dating he can't say that to her especially in front of me like that.

"Elle a pris merci et pourquoi la partagerais-je avec vous de toutes les personnes ou la partagerais-je du tout? Vous êtes juste un bâtard trompeur que personne ne peut faire confiance." I glare and pull Red closer to me. Everyone is silent as Xavier and I go back and forth in french. We said some things that no one needed to know about. After our argument it's silent and nothing but stares all around. Red breaks the silence thank god and tells us she has to use the restroom. Aaron and Tommy go and get the tickets leaving me and Xavier alone. But it was too public for us to talk here. "So are we just gonna stand here and argue in French all night or are we gonna have a real conversation?" Xavier glares. I scoff and tell him to follow me. We go behind the building which was dark and secluded. Perfect for our "chat".

"Ooo so dark and spooky? Why did you bring me back here?" Xavier shoves his hands into his pockets and I crack my knuckles. "So Red won't see me destroy your face, pretty boy." I snarl. I was so ready to kick his ass especially after what he did to Mariah. "Let's talk first no need to be so violent damn. You're so immature Royce." Xavier smirks as his eyes glow red.

It was an eerie feel to see his eyes change that color once again after all these years. "Fine, let's talk...what are you planning to do with Red?" I ask lighting a cigarette. "Just carrying out orders, I was supposed to kill her and bring her to the council as proof I had done it. My dad won't let me back in until I did so." Xavier begins.
