Chapter 6: "She's not my friend. She's my GIRLFRIEND."

Just as we arrived at Xander's house, I heard my phone vibrate inside my purse. Taking it out,I smiled at who I saw it was.My bestfriend, Athena had sent me a message.

Athena:Goodluck-xoxo.

I smiled and started typing a text to her right away.

Zoey:Lol,do I really need luck to have an encounter with the hot-sexy devil himself?I think I certainly do...thanks.

Athena:You're crazy,love you.>3

I smiled down at her text before locking my phone and trembling at Scott's voice when he told me that we have to go in.We both stepped out of the car and my heels couldn't wait to click against the ground as we made our way to the front door.The lake and forest breeze welcomed me by hitting my nostrils with its pleasant smell.The surrounding of his house was magnificent. It was a forest glass house with a huge lake behind it.The chirping of birds were the norm sounds of the day and the surrounding itself had an aura of serenity and solitude. The house was enormous,elagant and it's design was one of it's own kind,uniquely made.There were several men almost in every corner of house, dressed in black suits and looking all buffy and scary. There were about six black land rover cars lined up in the driveway and I also took notice of how they screamed 'Brand new.'

"I didn't know he was this rich-rich!" I muttered as my eyes couldn't stop themselves from wandering around .

Scott laughed softly.."Oh well,welcome to the real world of wealthiness little sis.Plus,when you were growing up,you always said you had one wish."

"That I wish to live a luxurious life with no stress and no drama but full of joy,bliss and love." I said the line I recalled saying to Scott everytime we watched reality shows of rich people living their best lives.

"Now it's the time to fulfill that wish.Own it." He smiled at me before ringing the doorbell on the gigantic glass door.

I smiled to myself at how grateful and thankful I was to God for giving me such a wonderful brother whom I adored wholeheartedly through the good and the bad times. He had never turned his back on me,but always had his chest out for me to lay my head on and vent out my worries and troubles. He was the best gift God had ever given to me.Him and my dearest mother, my two most favourite people on earth.

After patiently waiting for the door to be answered, someone finally opened it.

I looked up to find a man who seemed so real to be the most gorgeous guy I had ever laid my eyes on since I was born. I took my time to view his features closely. He had on a black tuxedo which also looked quite new.He had a strong chiseled jaw with a light stumbled on it with plump lips.His cheekbones were high and sharp and he had dark brown that was ruffled in a sexy way.Thick eyebrows above his eyes and had green bright eyes. He was tall,about six feet or even taller. He had a muscular well built body that showed underneath the tight suit he had on. He was a perfect young man to tell the truth,so handsome. He managed to switch off my fear for man for a second just by staring into his forest green eyes and getting lost in them.

"Xander,"Scott greeted him.His eyes set on my brother with an expressionless look on his face.

"Just come in." He said rudely and walked away.

His voice was deep and velvety,like liquid gold.He had an Italian accent that sounded so fine and was very pleasant to one's ears.He was everything but rude and seemed to be selfish, heartless and very dangerous.

Scott and I exchanged flat looks on our faces before trailing in behind him.The house was really breathtaking even worse on the inside. Every was classy and very sheen.

We walked over to what seemed to be the dining room.The table in front of us was full of tons of various kinds of food and there were different types of wine bottles too.

"You may sit down and devour all you wish." Xander said to as we settled down on the table.

I looked shocked at the amount of food and then back at him to find him already staring right at me.

"Are you expecting anyone?Is there anyone joining us?" I questioned, my voice barely audible.

He took a gulp of what seemed to be scorch before his piercing green eyes turned back up at me.I tried catching my breath as his gaze managed to take my breath away.

"Yes there is someone joining us Zoey." He said

"I see." I muttered quietly before staring down on the table.

I let my mind to roam around and thought almost all the possible things.

ZOEY'S THOUGHTS.

'Who could be joining us though?I mean,if it was just a friend then he could've told us that he got a friend coming over right?It would as simple as that.And if it was his mother, which I don't even know if she's still alive or not.No offence but Xander seem to appear as nothing to me but a handsome stranger whom I have absolutely no information about. I didn't even bother researching about him or anything, it seemed to be just a waste of time really. I also hate planting what the internet says in my mind or what the journalists write.Everything said about rich people is being said and written based on how they portray them.They do not write genuine things but have their own twist to spice things up.And for that,I did not want to believe anything except the fact that I read that he is a womanizer. Which ofcourse based on the few encounters I had with him,I managed to draw that out of him.He was literally the center of women's attention. Very alluring and dignified.

Okay so back to the fact that he had not mentioned anyone joining us for dinner up until he waited for someone like me to ask because obviously I would ask,kind of disturbs me a little bit. What if the person coming over is his girlfriend ?OMG,or even worse, his fiance or his wife?But wait-....womanizers mostly don't do the lovey-dovey things right?They don't date but vibe right?But then,who is coming?Should I just ask him to queme my curiosity?Maybe I should stop being forward and not say anything, yeah?Or maybe it's for the best I ask in order to know my place.Aghhh!!What the hell am I even saying!It's not like I'm going to throw myself at him,and I for sure do know my place. I'm nothing but just a maid to him.But-'

My moment of thinking was interrupted by the clearing of a throat. I quickly snapped out of it and found both my brother and mr handsome-devilish looking at me.

'Was I out for too long?' I questioned myself silently.

"Sorry." I gave them a fake smile and started filling my plate and ate.They also did the same.

"Aren't we supposed to wait up until your friend arrives?" Scott asked Xander,taking a sip of his wine.

I continued staring down at my plate, not daring to look up as I could feel Xander's intense gaze on me.

From the corner of my eyes,I saw him taking off his suit which made him now to be left in only a white t-shirt.I couldn't help but observe how his muscular body made the t-shirt to sit perfectly around it and expose his muscles. His body was mouth-watering.

"She'll be here any minute now." His deep voice suddenly comes out.

"She?" Scott asked, eyebrows raised. "You have female friends?"

I couldn't help but wonder too.I was taking a sip of my red wine when...

"She's not my friend. She's my girlfriend." Xander replied dryly.

Without any warning, I spat out the drink abruptly. Causing some of it to ruin my dress.
