Chapter 5 : Off To The Xander Mansion

"We're leaving in a few Zoe-Zoe." My brother,Scott announced outside my bedroom door.

"Okay." I answered,my voice a bit audible for him to hear.

I walked over to my large mirror and checked myself one last time.I applied a bit of black lipstick and applied my mascara too.After that,I tight my hair up into a tight ponytail and left a few strands of caramel hair hanging next to my face on each side.I finished up with putting on a pair of black heels to match up with the black bodycon short dress I had on.It was simple yet beautiful.

I gave myself one last glimpse at the mirror and drew in some deep breaths then released.I needed to calm myself down, that was the least I could have done at that time.Going to Xander's place really got me on my nerves,shaky and scared.

"Sis come on now,we don't want him to think about sending millions of bodyguards to come drag you all over to his house, now do we?" Scott said as he entered my room.

I rolled my eyes at him,"We both know you're just saying that to disturb my moment of peace,brother. "

He gave out a little laugh."Well,you want to place a bet?" He asked

I walked over to him and gave him daring eyes and a confident attitude."Let's do it."

Just right after saying that,my ringtone boomed aloud.

"Where is it and who's freaken calling me at this time!?" I uttered impatiently as I searched for it inside my purse.

"Oh there you are!" I said catching a breath as I pulled it out and looked at who was calling.

Scott became curious as he saw me just gazing down at the phone with a sudden and expressionless face.

"Are you not going to take that?" He asked,gesturing to the phone I held.

I rolled my eyes before sliding on the answer button.

"What!" I rudely spat out.

"Do you want me to send my men to come drag you out of that tiny thing of yours you call a house and bring you here Zoey?" Xander's agitated voice rang in my ear.

"It's Miss.Katherine to you Sir." I said in a teasing voice just to anger him more.

I think I heard him groan uncomfortably just right after I dragged the word,'Sir.'

"I'm counting from ten now Zoey."He repeated."If I don't hear you making a move,you'll regret it."

I rolled my eyes and I was about to argue when his voice cut me off.

"And stop rolling your eyes when talking to me if you know what's good for you,Miss.Katherine." He teased yet his voice screamed dominance.

"I-i..." I stuttered trying to find my words but I couldn't.

"Now stop stuttering like a sick person and get here!Before I do something you will extremely regret. " He said with gritted teeth.

"But-" I started to disagree but unfortunately...

"Now Zoey!!" His loud voice cut me off and made me flinch a bit.

I gulped and hang up the phone immediately.

I was still trying to reminisce about what Xander had just said when Scott bursted out laughing like a maniac. I turned to look at him with a confused look on my face.

"And what are you laughing at?" I asked,getting angry at his manners.

"Oh Gosh,who would have thought that there are some people out there who can handle you just fine." He smirked before going back to laughing.

"I hate you." I uttered, grabbing a pillow in attempt to throw it at him.

"Nice try." He kept laughing as he made his way out of the room.

Catching the pillow on his way out,effortlessly. LIKE ALWAYS.

"Come on we have to hurry up. " I announced, grabbing my handbag and going out of the room too.

"And the bags?" Scott asked muddled as I made my way past him.

I continued trailing down the staircase without giving him my attention.

"What about 'the bags' Scott?" I said sarcastically as I turned to watch the raging expression on his face.

"Gosh I hate you!" He complained making his way back to fetch them.

"Gosh I love you more." I mocked in a babylike voice just to make him more angry than he was already.

I laughed as I went over to his car and settled in the driver's seat.

When he finished packing them in the boat,he came right at the driver's door and opened.

"Don't tell me you're driving my car too." He said to me.

"Well," I smirked up at him."It seems like I am brother."

"No you're not!" He rebuked

"Yes I am." I uttered in a daring voice."Now give me the car keys so we could 'make a move',just like the boss said we should before he does what he's good at which is very unfortunate because I have no idea what that is." I finished as I rolled my eyes.

And just right doing that,Scott's ringtone interrupted.

He growled after observing who was calling him.

"What!?"I asked,eyeing curiously at him."Who is it Scott?"

He rolled his eyes before showing me who was calling. And after seeing who it was,I cursed underneath my breath.

"See?" I muttered to Scott with the,'I told you look on my face.'

He just brushed me off and answered the call.

"Xander." He greeted politely.

"Give her the damn keys before I cut your neck off and stop delaying me Mr.Katherine." Xander's annoyed voice said over the phone.

"I-uhm....we're on our way." Scott stumbled finding the correct words to say to him.

"Just get in the damn car and move before I blow your head off Scott." Xander said vexed.

Scott eyed down at me with a scared look on his face and answered,"Right."

Then the line was off.

"Give me the damn keys before Xander cut your neck off Mr.Katherine." I said teasingly as I smirked up at my brother who seemed so ready to slap the heck out of me.

"I hate you!" He growled, throwing the keys on my lap .

I grinned childishly,"Oh hunny,I hate you more."

"And I hate him!" He shouted, getting in the passenger front seat.

I laughed and started the engine.

"Where the heck and how the fudge does he hear and see what we're doing or saying?" Scott asked,eyes roaming around.

I shrugged a shoulder with a sigh,"Brother...." I dragged as I looked with pity at him."He is a billionaire.Remember that always."

And with that,I revved the engine before driving off to Xander Vincenzo's Mansion.
