Beta Xavier

Chapter 10

Salomé

Miami Beach
Of course, luck was on my side. NOT. It was like fate was trying its hardest for me to keep on encountering this man. I mean it's been only one night and I've seen him twice. What are the chances? Well...... here we're walking on the sand together.

Everything was going fine. I mean I thought it was OK? Shoot all I could think of was the inexperience I have talking with a guy. All the times in college that I would try to talk to a guy they would act like they didn't care about the conversation. Freaking As*hol*s. All I was trying to do was be nice and make a friend. OK Salomé its nothing hard at all. Just make conversation so you won't make it awkward. You have conversations with Liza all the time. I mean we talk about everything ranging from how big a whale's penis is to how many times you sh*t a day. WAIT! NO! Omg no girl what's wrong with you! You can't talk about things like that. You know just so I won't embarrass myself further I will just stay shut. Ughhh I'm so weird. I'm not the average girl and I talk and do "gross" things that are not viewed as "feminine". I'm kind of a tomboy what I could do about it?

Well he broke the silence first which I was glad for but didn't expect what was coming out his mouth. Anyway, after he carried me I felt so self-conscious. I couldn't believe that he carried me with ease. I mean I think he proved that he was a human version of a hulk. Not going to lie it was kind of hot that he could carry me.

After that we continued talking I apologized and he did also. I felt bad for yelling at him and I didn't know why. I decided to joke around with him for a little. I told him he had to go on his knees all the way to the car. I've never met someone so determined to do as they were told. Without hesitation without thinking he did it! Omg Salo he's freaking doing it! He was so serious about walking on his knees for me! FOR ME! I mean come on I'm just a regular shmegular girl from Jersey. My heart couldn't even help but flutter. Was this a case of a run or stay?

"Wait are you kidding me?" I grab to stop him. " I was just kidding I would never let you do that. Here let me help you up. You're crazy you know that. Are you OK? Did you scrape your knees?". My motherly nature of course must check if he's OK. I see no blood or irritation on his skin. Damn what the hell? If that was me I would be crying right now.

" I'm truly sorry, I didn't mean for you to get angry at me. I would look for your forgiveness in any matter. You don't know what."

He looks at me with so much warmth. I don't understand. I give him a genuine smile. I'm warming up to this idiot. I just hope he's not playing me in any way. I mean this is a pretty big step for me. I don't feel good about myself. My self-esteem is low, and my body is horrible and I'm just ugly. I don't understand how he wants to talk to me. And to even invite me to a drink. I AM CONFUSION right now.

I realize after all this time I don't know his name! Oh, great Salomé all that your mom taught you is out the door!

" It's OK...... wait I never learned your name!" I say with this almost a panicky state.

" My name beautiful is Xavier. Xavier Green."

God the way that he said his name. Oh, heavens I think my ovaries just melted. I am done. I am done. I am done. To top it off he gives me this cocky smile. It's like as if he knew his name was going to do something to me.

"Xavier" I say it in Spanish pronunciation.

I notice him shiver when I say his name.

"Hey are you cold? I have a sweater in my car if you need it."

" Yes, I'm kind of chilly. I'm probably going to catch a cold. Did you just pronounce my name is Spanish?"

"Yes, I did" I say with a smile.

" That's awesome and hot".

"Uh thank you'' I mean was that a compliment? I got red as a tomato. I never got a "hot" comment in my life. Bless my parents this moment for being Colombian.

"Well where are you from he says?"

" My Background? Well, I'm Colombian both my parents were born in Colombia" I say with a proud smile.

"That's cool look here I know me a beautiful Latina woman now. There's a lot of Colombians down here in Miami." he says shyly.

I can't help but to giggle. He looks up at me with a smile. I take in his eyes. They're the greenest eyes I've ever seen. It seemed like I was looking in a forest. Ceaseless green cascading down into my brown eyes. I look away embarrassed for staring at him too long. I'm burning red and I know it.

He then grabs the side of my face with his hand and looks at me. It was almost as he was spellbound by my face. I was getting nervous. I didn't want him to see my imperfections. I was starting to squirm. Oh, my gosh he's probably seeing how darn greasy my face is. Or how hairy I am damn it! I should have shaved my face like that Real Housewife woman that did in the darn episode. He notices I'm uncomfortable and lets his hand down. He just nods at me to begin our walk again.

OK I don't know what just happened, but I will not bring it up.

We're almost to the car now thank goodness. He looks around and becomes a little anxious.

"Hey are you OK?" I say with concern.

"Yeah it seems that my friend dipped and left me. I don't see his car around." 

" Well, that's no problem. We can offer you a ride. Hi, I'm Salomé's friend Liza nice to meet you". Liza says as a darn instigator.
