HIS STRANGE DAMSEL

Xavier’s pov

I kept my phone back in my pocket because of the noise I heard, ahead of me.

I strained my neck to look at what exactly is going on.

My eyes snapped widely opened as I saw a girl that looks exactly just like Delaney.

‘stop the car!” I ordered hurriedly.

My chaffeur stopped the car and without waiting for him to open my car door, I hurriedly alighted.

I ran to the scene and to my utmost surprise and shock, I saw Delaney up at a bill board where my picture was hung.

I actually modelled for a particular brand and the brand has been moving quite great.

And now, Delaney is up there?

Doing what exactly?

Oh God!

Where on Earth is this girl from?

Why’s she always causing commotions?

I panicked as I still stared at her, not knowing exactly what to do.

She hasn’t noticed my presence yet.

The gathering was too much and some persons were laughing, taking pictures and videoing the scene.

She looked totally crazy and stupid.

And she was just wearing a short and a shirt.

Her hair wasn’t even packed and it flew around in different directions.

God!

Where did mom get such a girl from?

“Xavier?” She suddenly called as our gazes finally met.

Other persons who were in the scene turned and they started taking pictures of me.

Argh!

Some of the teenagers were squealing happily and trying to get closer to me but my chaffeur was already trying to control them.

“Can you please find a way for that girl to come down from that place?” I groaned silently to my chaffeur.

“Okay sir.” He answered and walked towards Delaney.

I shrugged and started towards my car ignoring the squealing teenagers.

If I was in a good mood, I”d have volunteered to take pictures with them, one after the other but today, I’m in no good mood.

In fact, I feel embarrassed, so damn embarrassed.

Few minutes later, my chaffeur came with Delaney who had a guilty countenance on.

I hissed loudly and rolled my eyes.

“Get into the car!” I snapped angrily, as she continued to stand beside the car door.

She was acting all innocent.

She jolted and hurriedly got into the car.

I was so vexed that I felt like hitting something.

“Xavier?” She called softly and turned to face me.

I glared daggers at her and she had no choice than to clamp her mouth shut and swallow whatever words she was gonna say.

“Don’t open your mouth to utter any word till we get home!” I ordered sternly.

She nodded her head and bit her lower lip.

She fondled childishly with the hem of her shirt.

Damn! I won’t lie, she looked so cute and adorable.

But I’m still mad at her and I’m definitely gonna unleash my anger on her when we get home.

“Delaney!” Mom squealed and ran to hug Delaney.

I rolled my eyes and watched them reunite like a mother welcoming her lost daughter.

Obviously, she was lost!

“Where did you go? I asked the maids about you and they said they had no idea about your whereabouts and they didn’t see you leave with Xavier earlier.

I was so worried about you Laney.” Mom rushed her words and at the same time, touched all part of her body, probably looking for an injury or something.

“I suddenly became invisible to my own mother.” I rolled my eyes and watched them keenly.

“Oh son! I’m sorry.” Mom apologized and kissed my cheeks.

“You know, Laney doesn’t know anywhere around and I was scared she might have gone missing.” Mom explained.

“Mom, she has explanations to give. She’s really getting out of hand mom and I’m afraid that she might cause us trouble one day.” I sighed and glared at Delaney.

“What did she do son?” Mom asked.

“You can go ahead and ask your beloved daughter. She”d definitely have a better explanation to tell.” I told her while Delaney bent her head guiltily.

“But let me just brief you. Your daughter climbed up in a bill board and she was trying to bring it down because it had my picture on it.

You can imagine the embarrassment!” I groaned and started for the stairs.

“What?” Mom asked.

“You can get the full details from her.” I called out and hurriedly climbed the stairs.

Eish! That girl annoys me so much.

I haven’t fully gotten over the spaghetti episode and now another?

Delaney’s pov

“You did what Delaney?” Xavier’s mom yelled disbelievingly.

“I’m sorry.” I bit my lips, feeling so guilty.

“Why would you even leave the house in the first place?” She asked and placed her hands on her waist.

“I was bored and I thought there was no harm in going out. I didn’t think I’ll lost my way around.” I pouted.

‘really? Then why did you climb up the bill board and tried removing Xavier’s picture?” She asked and stared intently at me.

“I thought he was stolen. I never had the idea that it was just a bill board and it’s supposed to be there.” I sighed lowly.

“Oh my Delaney! When will you learn?” She asked.

“I’m sorry.” I pouted childishly.

“It’s fine. I just hope that with time you’ll learn.” She smiled lightly and hugged me. I hugged her back by wrapping my arms around her.

I’m glad she isn’t mad at me.

Delaney’s pov

Xavier forgave me and told me he wasn’t mad at me again.

At school, I’ve improved a bit because even Xavier said so.

Brielle– I finally got her name and whom I think is the leader of the B3 girls, gave me her birthday card.

My intention was to throw the card away and not attend the birthday party.

But surprisingly, Xavier told me he was invited to the same party and his mom told me to go with him because she didn’t want to risk leaving me alone at home.

Xavier grumbled but he eventually agreed.

I wanted to decline but Xavier’s mom pleading eyes made me keep shut.

She really wants me to attend the party with Xavier.

The D-day finally came for the party but unfortunately, Xavier’s mum wasn’t at home at the moment.

“Delaney! Delaney!” I heard Xavier call as I walked out of the kitchen where I”d gone to take some milk.

“Yes?” I replied when we came face to face with each other and his eyes dimmed.

“What the…. you still aren’t dressed up???” He exclaimed and I bit my nails.

“Well…I’m sorry, but….”

“Gosh! You know what? You’ll just have to catch up with me, okay? I’m in a hurry and need to branch somewhere before the party and I’m running pretty late already. So, when you’re done, you go to the party and we’ll meet up there” he said hurriedly.

Whaaaat??

“B…But, I don’t know the way to the….”

“Yeah, don’t worry about that. As soon as you’re done dressing, go out to the car, you’ll find a driver beside it. Just get in and he’ll take you to the party. He knows the road, okay?” He said with an eye roll and before I could make another complaint, he rushed out.

Oh boy! I can’t believe he left without me.

Geez!

I sighed and returned to my room so I could get dressed.

First, I took a shower and when I was done, I became confused if what to wear.

There were so many clothes staring at me but I didn’t know which to chose.

Xavier,’s mum had always been the one dressing me up.

Well, I guess I”d have to learn now.

I started rifling through the numerous clothes, checking them bit by bit.

I saw a blue pair of trousers – yeah. Xavier’s mum calls them trousers.

I wore it on and continued searching. I found a skirt and admired it. Hm. Beautiful.

I smiled and wore it on the trouser.

Now…my chest.

First, I wore a “bra” as Xavier’s mum had called and taught me how to wear it.

After fixing it on my b**bs, I looked for a shirt and picked something that looked like cardigan – just like Xavier’s mum had described it.

I wore it on and woah!!! It was quite big on me.

Hm. But nice.

I took the new hat Xavier’s mum had bought for me and wore it on my head.

Perfect!!

Then, I rounded it up with a pair of canvas on my legs.

Oh my geeeee! I did it!! I dressed myself up!!!

I rushed to the mirror and giggled at my pretty image. I was so proud of myself.

And without wasting any more time, I left the room.

I walked out to where Xavier said the car will be waiting and there I found it with a man beside it.

“Are you the driver?” I asked, wondering why he was staring at me – strangely.

“Uh…yes ma”am. I…I…I am” he stuttered, roaming his eyes around me.

Hmph. What’s wrong with him?

“Okay. You know where to take me right?” I asked.

“To…to…to the party?” He stuttered again.

“Exactly!!” I exclaimed and made to open the door of the car.

“Hold on ma”am” he called back my attention.

“Y…you’re going to the party like this?”

“Well, of course. Is there something wrong?” I asked and looked at myself from chest to toe.

He didn’t reply.

Hm. He’s probably jealous.

“I don’t have much time, okay? Let’s go” I said and finally walked into the car and he also got in and zoomed off.
