CHAPTER 13.

QUINN'S POV:

People took turns coming to congratulate us. Xavier and I had smiles all through.

"How do you know this many people?" I asked looking up at him.

"I don't. My father does." He said and I laughed at that.

A woman walked up to us and I frowned. I didn't like the aura she was omitting. She looked like a model and had strawberry blonde hair and a beautiful face to match.

I nudged Xavier. "Incoming." I whispered. He looked and his face dimmed. "God. Oh no." He mumbled and I smirked.

"History I presume?" I asked. He only gave me a look to which I replied with a swift kiss on his lips just as the woman stopped before us.

"Xavier." Hm. First name basis I see.

Xavier smiled at her giving her a brief hug. "Serenity. Glad you could make it." He turned to me. "Baby, This is Serenity Williams. Owner and founder of Serene & Co." He introduced.

I smiled politely as she gave me a brief hug.

"Thank you for coming Ms Williams." I said and she only nodded, subtly ignoring me.

"You didn't tell me about your little bride." She said in a teasing tone. I raised an eyebrow. Who the fuck she calling little?

Xavier only smiled, wrapping an arm around my waist and pulling me flush against his chest.

"She's anything but that Serene. She's my firestorm." He said looking down at me and I blushed. His firestorm?

"It seems she makes you happy." Her voice sounded jealous. "Of course I do. He can't live without me." I said smugly and she frowned.

"Well, it would be a great honor to do business with you. You seem like a fine model yourself." She said and I smirked.

"Thanks. I'm good." I declined.

She walked off and I sighed in relief.

"Why do you have so many exes? I have just one!" I said and he smiled sheepishly.

"They're the ones coming after me." He said shamelessly and I shook my head.

"They all hate me. For finally marrying the man of their dreams." I snorted and he smirked.

"Quick question. Why'd you kiss me when she got here?" He asked and I blinked. "Huh? I don't know what you're talking about." I said scanning the crowd of people. He chuckled lowly at me.

"Whatever you're thinking, scratch it, delete it, obliterate and annihilate it because I'm not jealous." I ranted. He smiled even wider.

"I didn't even say the word Nini. You just said it yourself." I rolled my eyes at his wit. Jace and his fellow groomsmen walked up to us.

"Congrats Quincy! You get to keep the douchebag!" He hollered and I smiled. Xavier frowned at his best man.

"Hi. We're Ryan and Bryan. His cousins."

Another set of twins.

"It's nice to meet you two. I'm Quinn. Not Quincy." I said while glaring at Jace. He only winked at me.

"So did Xavier tell you what he's planned for your honeymoon?" Bryan asked and Xavier looked at him in panic.

"Uhhh. Um, there's no honeymoon. She's got school remember? and I've got work." He said and the twins scoffed. "That is such a stupid excuse." Ryan said and I snickered.

"What if I want a honeymoon?" I asked. I wanted to know his reaction. He looked at me in surprise.

"You do?" I shrugged in response.

"What Mrs Sterling wants, Mrs Sterling get!" Jace announced with a hoot and I laughed. They were a crazy bunch.

Rissa came up to us. "Gentlemen and asshole." I didn't know who the asshole was. Jace or Xavier.

"Who's the asshole?" Bryan asked with a slight laugh. "Obviously Jace." Rissa said and Jace blinked with his jaw dropped. I tried my hardest to contain my laugh. It wasn't even who she was referring to, it was how she said it.

"Xavier, Your dad asked me to come get you. It's time for the closing speech. Send all these poor people home. it's already past midnight." She joked. I didn't even know how the day had already passed so quick.

Xavier left with the guys and I sighed next to Rissa.

"Do me a favour and get married too." I said and she snorted.

"Thanks but I'm good." She teased.

"Xavier isn't as bad as the news plays him." I said and she looked at me. I groaned.

"It doesn't mean I like him. Get your head out of the clouds."

She only smiled.

Urgh. Did I actually like Xavier? Hell no. I still wanted to see him suffer.

After that maybe I can address any feelings for him.

Maybe.
