Accidentally Married

Both Brian and Jason stared at Xavier as he looked at his phone with a huge smile on his face. It was such a rare and weird circumstance that they both did not know what to do.

Xavier did not smile and even worse he hated taking messages and calls during meetings what changed that?

Xavier looked at the message from Jessica and felt content. It read ‘Thank you got your consideration today. I had fun. You were really of great help.’

That simple message was enough to fill him with so much warmth and bring a smile to his face.

“Xavier” Jason said tapping the table that separated them.

Xavier snapped out of the trance and lifted his head to look at both men who were staring at him. He looked down at his phone. He needed to reply to show he wasn’t rude and also liked the time they spent together.

Not mind the heavy stares he was getting from both men he typed his reply to Jessica.

“I am really interested in what is making him smile,” Jason said to Brian who nodded in agreement.

“I have been working for him for so many years now but I can tell you I have never seen him smile so brightly. I have seen him smile a little when we close a deal but never so brightly” Brian said.

“I wanted to guess what is going on but I can not seem to place a situation over this” Jason added.

“Let’s get back to work,” Xavier said dropping the phone back to the table and clearing his throat.

Jason cleared his throat and said. “Who was that?”

“A major investor or who?” Burke added.

Curiosity was eating both of them up and they could not take it. They wanted to know what was going on.

“Must I tell you that?” Xavier asked flipping thorough the document in front of him.

“Yes, you must” Jason answered with glee in his eyes.

“It was my wife,” Xavier said nonchalantly.

Jason gasped and Brain nodded her head vigorously. To Brian, it made sense that Xavier would be smiling about his wife. Now that he thought of it he could smile.

He had ran at the speed of lightning when he heard she was at the police station leaving him to sort everything out by himself. Leslie had explained everything that happened to him but he never thought he would see Xavier smile for that reason. It was logical but still seemed impossible.

“Your wife?” Jason says gasping again. “You are married?” he said in a shouted whisper.

“Yes, he got married and has been for more than one month now” Brian answered on his behalf when Xavier ignored him.

“Why am I just hearing about this?” Jason asked shocked.

“It was on the news, didn’t you see it?” Brian asked.

“No, I do not. If I did then I wouldn’t have been shocked like this”

“He’s been married and to the sweetest soul you’ll ever need,” Brian said fawning over her.

“I need to meet the person who would marry this insane man”

“I would ensure to introduce you two at the party,” Brian said.

If Jessica was capable of drawing a smile out of Xavier then she was worth meeting.

“Are you both having fun?” Xavier asked gritting his teeth. It showed that Jason and Brian were making fun of him.

“I don’t think I have had such great news in a long while. Did the Mr. Stuck up find love?” Jason asked.

“Love? Who is in love?” Brian asked. “He just has a wife, it doesn’t mean he is in love” he added to which Xavier nodded with so much vigor.

“Eei, if he smiles because of a text from her then it’s love” Jason countered.

“What do you know about love?” Brian asked. “You had your first love at twenty-six” he added teasing Jason.

Jason was a typical bad boy and he went to clubs and had what he called a nice time with girls. During his last visit to Chiachester City, he saw Alicia Gates for the first time since they left the university and he could not deny that she looked beautiful.

More beautiful than he remembered. He recalled having a crush on her while they studied together abroad but he never had the courage to ask her out. They were friends and moved together but he kept his feelings to himself.

To the best of his ability hr had overcome the crush but seeing her again after so many years reminded him of her beauty and he decided he was going to forsake his lifestyle and finally take the courage to build a relationship with her.

“The only one of us three who can successfully talk about relationships is I” Brian declared.

Among the three of them, he was the only one married to a woman he loved and cherished. Xavier was married because he needed his grandfather’s property and Jason just realized that he loved a woman after about six years.

“Can we get back to work?” Xavier asked picking up the documents he dropped earlier.

“Can you stop talking about work for like twenty minutes?” Jason said with a groan.

“It’s been more than twenty minutes since we stopped working” Xavier replied.

Jason and Brian signed deeply as they thought about how clueless their friend was.

“It doesn’t matter whatever you propose. I am going to sign it” Jason said in hopes to stop Xavier from bringing up work continuously.

“Even if I try to rob your family of all their wealth would you still append your signature on the document?” Xavier asked with a smirk.

“You? Commit fraud?” Brian asked almost bursting into a fits of laughter.

They had known him the longest and they knew that he was almost incapable of committing fraud. He was one of the most uptight and highly principled men that they both knew.

“What? Does it seem impossible that a human can commit fraud?” Xavier asked not sure what to process with their action.

“Humans can commit fraud yes they can but you? You are not human.” Jason answered.

“Human feel but you don’t feel”
