The Mysteries in Love

Chapter 3: The Family Dinner

-< Joyce's POV >-

Xavier just ignored me and started talking to my mom. "Hi, I'm Xavier Anderson, and I'm currently dating Joyce, so there is no need to bring that boy alongside with you," said Xavier coolly. "Very well then, I would like to meet you next Friday," said Mom. "No problem," Xavier replied. Then, Xavier hung up and returned my phone. "Why did you say that we were dating?" I questioned. "I don't want you to go out with another man, besides me," answered Xavier. "Could Xavier be... jealous?" I thought. "O-ok, but we aren't together, though" I said. "Well now we are," answered Xavier, with a smirk. "I'll be living in your house from now on, so your parents will believe that we are together," said Xavier. "W-wait so you mean we'll be sleeping together?!" I asked. "Yea, sure why not! I would love to sleep with you," answered Xavier, pervertedly.

That night, I went as far as possible from Xavier while we were sleeping, but then, I felt Xavier's arms around my waist. "Xavier, move your arms," I whispered. "No," replied Xavier in a sleepy voice. Xavier, instead, brought me next to him, and hugged me even more tightly. I tried to struggle, but it was useless, Xavier wouldn't budge. I found myself looking at Xavier's face closely, and I realized how sweet his face was. This feeling came back to me, but I don't know how call it. I went back to sleep, forgetting that feeling...

It was 6:30 AM and as I awoke, I found Xavier on the floor sleeping uncomfortably. I awoke Xavier, who seemed like if he didn't sleep at all, and said, "Last night, you kicked me off the bed, and I fell on top of my head, stupid! Now I have this huge bump on my head! How am I supposed to go to school like this? "I-I'm sorry," I said. "You will receive your punishment, later, but now, I have to call the school to tell them that you and I won't go to school for one week,"replied Xavier. "Wait what?! I'll be staying here with you?" I asked. "Yep, and besides, where are you going with that look on you?" said Xavier. I quickly looked at the mirror, and I saw a thick mustache drawn onto me. I looked at Xavier, who was laughing so hard, he started crying. I all of a sudden, started to laugh, too because I noticed that he put a huge black dot, which I suppose that it was a mole. After 1 hour of laughing, we finally got on our feet and started to dress ourselves. After Xavier called the school, I left him alone to study. Days passed by pretty slowly until it was Friday....

5 DAYS LATER.....

Today is Friday, October, 4. My parents are coming back for a visit and to meet my boyfriend, Xavier (who's not really my boyfriend). I woke up, and got dressed, just in time to hear my doorbell ring. I finally took off the thick, bushy mustache, and mole that Xavier drew on me, yesterday. Feeling relieved, I opened the door and found my mom and dad standing in front of my house. I quickly invited them in just in time to see Xavier all groomed and dressed. Both my mom and dad gasped, meanwhile, Xavier introduced himself one more time, and put his arms around my shoulders. "Wow, Joyce, we can see a great future between you two," my parents said in a teasingly way. I was going to make breakfast, but Xavier stopped me and insisted that he shall make breakfast for today. "Look at here, Joyce, what a sweet boyfriend you've got here; he even knows how to cook," complimented my parents. "I never knew Xavier knew how to cook," I mumbled under my breath, so my parents wouldn't hear me. Ten minutes later, Xavier brought out four plates, and set a sausage on each plate with an egg. Xavier then gave us, napkins, spoons, and forks. He deliberately chose the seat besides me and started to eat. After breakfast, my parents complimented Xavier on how his cooking skills were, and that how he will be a reliable boyfriend.

Xavier and my parents were talking until it was 5:39 PM. This time, Xavier and I were in charge of dinner because mom wanted to see if we were a "compatible" pair of couple. I only made 2 dishes, total while Xavier was in charge of the soup, lobster, and dessert; our table was packed by 7:48 PM. My mom and dad both thanked Xavier and I for the dinner, and approved Xavier to be my actual boyfriend which kinda sucks. Mom and dad left, since they had urgent phone calls, but before my parents left, they had a talk with Xavier. "I wonder what they're talking about," I said. Suddenly, mom came up to me and gave me a beautiful jade pendant. "This is a very valuable and traditional pendant that our family has treasured, and has handed down from my mom, so now I hand it over to you. I hope you will take good care of it," said mom, with a serious-looking expression on ether face. "I wondered if it shows some kind of secret on it," I thought.

Xavier gave out a sigh of relief, and noticed that I was holding a jade pendant. "Wow, what jade have you got there, Joyce. It kind of looks familiar though," mumbled Xavier. "No way! My mom gave this to me." I replied. "Mmmmm, I see," Xavier said. "Okay, it's time to get some rest for tomorrow, after all there is school," declared Xavier with a sigh.

2 DAYS LATER...

"Ugh, can't that damned rooster shut up?!" I yelled out the window. My freaking neighbors treasure that stupid rooster and named it "Acorn" because it looked like one. No offense, but its head really look like an acorn, all fat. The most retarded thing about this chicken is not only its head, but its voice. It doesn't seem to shut up in any means, and especially in the morning on a Saturday or a Sunday, he would always wake me up at around 5:00. I feel like grabbing this chicken's head and slicing it off.
