The Player's Playmate

Chapter 10: Movie and the proposal

I entered the room to find it empty. I was about to reach into my back pocket for my phone but I suddenly felt a pair of strong arms grabbing me around my waist. I was pulled back into a muscular chest but before I could shout, a hand covered my mouth.

"Shhh! Princess, it's me!" I heard Xander's voice whisper in my ear. I quickly pushed his hands away before turning around to find Xander grinning at me. I slapped his chest.

"Do you know how scared I was? I was freaking out! Why did you do that?!" I scolded Xander as I glared at him. I kept my eyes locked with his as I took my phone out.

"I was just trying to mess with you. I didn't know that you would think that it was a real thief or something." Xander relied innocently. I glared at him.

"I wasn't talking about that! You have done that numerous times. I was talking about you just disappearing and then not picking up your phone when I called. You scared me!" I said.

"I was waiting for you to come back but then I guess I fell asleep. And my phone was on silent mode. I just woke up when I heard you entering the house." Xander shrugged.

"You lonely, brainless zombie! I left my date to come and find you! Damien has been searching for you too!" I hissed at him.

"I am flattered to know that you did that for me, E!" Xander replied as he placed his hand on his heart and smirked.

"Shut it, meathead!" I told him. I left the room as I called Damien. He answered the call at the fourth ring.

"Did you find him?" Damien asked, his voice sounding hopeful.

"Yeah, I did. That idiot was sleeping at my place with his phone on silent." I answered. Damien was silent for a few seconds.

"I know that you will make sure that the idiot feels sorry for what he did but please punch him on the face for me." Damien spoke up after a while. I chuckled as I turned around to look at Xander.

"I sure will, boss!" I told him as I smirked at Xander who was looking at all the missed calls on his phone.

"Thanks, E. I'll see you tomorrow. Bye!" Damien said.

"See you tomorrow. Bye." I said before disconnecting the call.

"I am guessing that was Damien." Xander guessed.

"What made you think that? The hundreds of missed calls from him?" I asked sarcastically.

"No. Actually, I have more missed calls from you." Xander answered. I glared at him.

"Yes, that was him. He was worried about you too." I told him.

"But he wasn't as worried as you were." Xander said with a smirk as he pinched my cheeks. I swatted his hands away before punching him in the face. "Ouch! What was that for!" Xander grumbled as he grabbed his nose.

"Damien asked me to do it for him." I shrugged before going down the stairs and to the kitchen. Xander followed me as he rubbed his nose with a pout on his face.

"I am guessing that you will be punching me a little more." Xander said as I entered the kitchen. I gave him a big forced smile before I opened the freezer and took out an ice pack. I punched him as he reached for it. "Oww!" Xander yelled as he held his nose. I passed him the ice pack.

"If you ever do that again, I will hit you a hundred times more and I won't even give you an ice pack." I warned him. "Understood?" I asked him. He just saluted as he held the ice pack in place.

"Will you at least watch a movie with me or something? I was feeling lonely." Xander said after a few minutes as I drank water and he handed me the ice pack back.
