Chapter 2

Xavier's POV

Once again, I woke up in my office at precisely 6 o'clock. This isn't the first and will not be the last time I spend the night in my office. Although my Grandma and my closest friend, Henry, have continuously told me to at least decrease my time in my office, mostly for different reasons.

Nona, like most grandmas, wanted her great-grandkids from her youngest grandson, and I hate to disappoint her, but that was not going to happen anytime soon, but Henry wanted me to go out and have some fun. And this week has been the worst it has ever gotten, especially from Grandma, unlike Henry I can't exactly tell her to shut the fuck up. So I just tell her I'm working on it, even though I'm not, the shame from lying to her lasts for an hour, then temporary relief till she calls again.

But no matter how many times I tell Henry to leave me alone, he never does, he's like a bug, always buzzing in my ears, "Come on Xavier, you can't work all the time", "Xavier the ladies miss you".

But today I have decided to take care of one problem at least, Henry, I have decided to go with him to the Pink Panther, a night club owned by one of my number one customers, he loves my cars.

But right now I have to work. Money isn't going to earn itself and cars are not going to design themselves.

After a productive day of work, thanks to my awesome P. A, Wanda who stays here with me even when I have to sleep at the office. That girl really needs a raise, I think to myself.

I begrudgingly call Henry to tell him I'm done with work. To be completely honest, deep down, I want to go to this club with Henry. Even I, New York's number one workaholic has to have fun sometimes. In record time, my P. A tells me Henry is here and I see he is dressed casually in a light green T-shirt and some jeans.

"Sup Xav, do you need some time to change?" he asks

"For the 40th time don't call me Xav, and I'm ready," I tell him with a glare.

"You do know that you are wearing a suit right?" He asks with an emotionless face.

"Yes Henry, what's your point?" I ask with a frown.

"I knew you were going to do this, so being the great friend I am, I brought you some clothes," Henry says with a huge smile on his face.

Not in the mood to argue, I quickly change my clothes in the bathroom, and soon enough we are in the car being driven by my driver, Louis. In 20 minutes we drop off at Pink Panther and move to the entrance, to see a huge bouncer, without a word he lets us into the anger of the people in the line. We walk in and are met with the smell of alcohol and see the grinding bodies of numerous people.

I walk over to the bar and order a whiskey neat and turn around to see people have surrounded the middle of the dance floor. After 5 minutes I begin to get curious, I get up to go see what is happening and head over to the dance floor, only to see the most beautiful girl I have ever seen, and I have seen a lot of girls. From her beautiful curly hair, her big brown eyes, her beautiful chocolate complexion, and her beautiful body.

She is dancing with her friends who were also cute but didn't compare to her. The way she moves her body is the sexiest thing I have ever seen. I'm sure every guy here is looking at her.

At the thought of that, I feel just the smallest amount of anger, which in itself is shocking. 'It's probably the whiskey' I think, even though I know it's not true. Just when I'm about to head over to the girl, I'm surrounded by a redhead and her 4 friends, 'Not right now' I angrily think to myself. The redhead is Tessa, a model I had a one night stand with about three months ago. Since then she has shown up at every public event I've been to.

"Xavipoo, I've missed you so much," she says in her weird voice.

"Tessa, I'm not in the mood for this, it was a one night stand, let it go," I say with no emotion in my voice.

With a huff, she walks away in a walk she probably thinks is sexy, crazy bitch I say in my head. I will probably see her again. I look to see beautiful is gone, feeling a bit panicky I look around and don't see her.

Without thought I run to the entrance and see her sitting in a moving taxi waving at a tall brunette. I immediately walk over to the brunette and ask,

"Hello, can you please give me the phone number of the girl who was waving at you in the taxi?"

"Oh my God, you are Xavier Ramirez, " She says with a look of awe on her face.

"Yeah," I say with a tight smile on my face.

"Sorry I can't do that, she's a nice girl and I'm not sure she will not appreciate me giving her number to a stranger, even if it's Xavier Ramirez" she says, still a little star-struck.

"I understand, is there another way I can contact her?" I ask still hopeful.

"Yeah her name is Raine, she works in a diner, Freddy's, about 30 minutes away from here. If I may ask, why do you want to know?" she asks, confused.

"Oh, she just reminds me of someone, bye," I say nonchalantly.

I walk away and decide to call Henry and tell him I'm going home, he says okay and tells me he can't come cause he met someone, I shake my head and call Louis to come pick me up. In a few minutes, I'm on my way home with thoughts of Raine in my mind.
