Holding Onto Youth

Chapter 33

SIERRA

"Where you deserve to go, is where you'll be."

🌴🌴🌴

I yawn, adjusting the straps on my dress before running my fingers through my hair. I was so tired and I just wanted to go straight to bed. I was hoping that Xavier was already sound asleep because I wasn't in the mood to argue. Why did it even matter what happened that night? It doesn't have any effect on Me and Xavier's relationship whatsoever. He overreacted about the whole thing. 

"You okay?" Cairo asked as he handed me a glass of water. I chugged it down before handing it back to him.

"Yeah! Thanks for giving us a ride. It was such a dick move of him to leave with the fucking car."

"I can't believe I'm in a fucking limo!" Percy squealed as he drank straight from the bottle that he was sharing with two of Cairo's friends. Marisol and Toby were out cold, wrapped in each other's arms. I chuckled, shaking my head.

"Why didn't you tell him about us?"

"I didn't think it was worth mentioning. I honestly never thought I'd see you again."

"Were you guys on a break then or something?"

"No! We weren't even dating. We were just friends!" He sighs, rubbing his jaw.

"Well how about this- I'll give you my number so whenever we're in the same city, you tell me and I'll avoid you and your boyfriend. How's that?" He flashes me that bright smile of his and I giggle. We exchanged numbers and it wasn't long before we arrived at the hotel. Cairo's friends helped Percy out and I took him over, thanking them all.

"You guys all good?" Cairo queried while gazing at us.

"Yeah! Thanks again for the ride man. We appreciate it!" Toby answers.

"It was no problem! Enjoy the rest of your night. Wadaeaan jamila! (goodbye beautiful)" He blew me a kiss as the limo took off.

"He's so gorgeous!" Percy mumbled into my ear. I chuckled, wrapping an arm around him as we headed into the hotel. 

"Wait- where's Ander?" He moaned.

"He left with his girlfriend. Remember?"

"Right..."

"Sie you okay with taking him to his room?"

"Yeah I got it Tobs! You guys can head to bed." 

"Alright! I love you, text me in the morning." He mumbled, before kissing me on the forehead and lifting Marisol out of the elevator. It took me some time to put Percy to bed because he kept going on about how much he missed Ander, did a little crying and then knocked himself out. I ambled to my room, stopping to take my heels off while propping myself against the door. I unlocked the door with my key as I tip toed in. 

"Xavier?" I called but there was no answer. I flicked the lights on and my breath caught in my chest from the sight before me. A naked woman in my bed with a naked Xavier. My heels fell out of my hands as I gasped. He stirred, rubbing her hand that was draped over his torso as his eyes slowly blinked open. He jumped, causing her to wake up.
