Bridgette frowned as she looked across the vacant leather seats. She was sure she’d left it there on her bus ride back. “Oh thank you,” Bridgette quickly took it off his hands. A sigh of relief escaped her lips. She’d scheduled the rest of her week in that little leather bound book. Plus, she had her whole to do list in there. As dramatic as it sounded, Bridgette couldn’t survive without her to do list. “You’re…” she thought aloud. The boy looked familiar, but she couldn’t quite put a name on him. “Something Dennings?” she asked.

[xavierdennings]

"No problem," Xavier said, shrugging his shoulders as he shot the girl a grin. "Don't worry, if there's anything personal on there, I swear that I didn't touch it. And wouldn't dare touch anyone's diary, anyway." It wasn't necessarily true, —he had once read his ex's diary by accident and never told her about it—but hey, whatever. As long as he didn't read this girl's, he was still on her good side. Surprised that she knew of him, Xavier slowly nodded. "It's Xavier. Xavier Dennings," he told her. "And forgive me, but I don't seem to remember your name. Mind telling me what it is?"

[xavierdennings]

"Ah, damn," Xavier sighed, slapping his forehead. "I left a book in campus."

You'll be there to save me || Colette & Xavier

[sephtobias-deactivated20160820]

Colette smiled when she heard his whistle, which only confirmed her thoughts even more. She sure as hell looked good tonight, and with Xavier’s eyes on her, it was a no-brainer. If Xavier, of all people, found her sexy or at least good-looking in her get-up, then all the other guys in this club would too. “Of course I do, and for the sake of having fun tonight, I’m going to just agree with what you’re saying because I am warning you right now that after a few drinks, I don’t think I can do anything but go with whatever you have planned for me.” With a shrug, she allowed herself to be tugged into the club, knowing she was going to be seeing familiar faces. After greeting a few girls with kisses on their cheeks, she hurried up to the bar to avoid any unnecessary questions. With her well-known status as a party girl, people were surely going to ask her who she was with tonight. Colette didn’t mind telling them Xavier’s name, because she actually wanted him to be a bit more popular than he was now and for people to know about him, but if they asked anything more than his name, Colette would just turn away. She wasn’t in the mood to talk about anything about them, especially not what was happening between them at the moment. Definitely not that. 

Colette held onto his hand, making sure he won’t get swallowed up by the crowd, as she led the way to the bar. The bartender was a good friend of hers, one she hasn’t slept with yet but has thought about it, and after a few minutes of smiling, the bartender was taking their order. “A round of shots please for my friend here.” Colette nudged Xavier with her arm as she waited for the bartender to finish with their order. With her high heels, it wasn’t that hard to reach Xavier’s ear anymore, and because the music was so loud, she neared him so that most of the surface of their bodies were touching and her lips were near his ears. “You liking it so far?” Colette then tilted her head to the side, knowing this must be a good place for a guy. Hot, sweaty girls dancing it up, some more than willing to spend a night together, all drunk and giggly. “Thanks.” Colette murmured with a smile as the bartender handed her a tray of ten shot glasses, all filled to the brim with a transparent liquid she realized was vodka. “Drink up.” Colette said, handing Xavier a shot glass and toasted hers with his before downing it in one gulp.

[xavierdennings]

Well, he guessed that he had given Colette the right response. A pleased expression took over her face when he whistled and told her that she looked pretty good. "Don't get too cocky about that," Xavier warned her, a smirk tugging on his lips. That was the last thing that he needed—her claiming that he thought she looked marvelous or whatever. She did, but it wasn't like she needed to know that. Xavier found their strange relationship quite amusing. It was clear that they still didn't get along, —especially in public—but they were kind of...enemies with benefits? Fuck buddies? He had no idea. He had never had a 'friend with benefits' before, so he absolutely didn't know how it worked. Even if he did have casual sex with someone who he wasn't in love with, it was usually a one time thing. He just wasn't the type to have someone to count on for his sexual needs. Or at least, he wasn't before that mind blowing night with Colette. Damn that girl.

Xavier's eyes stayed on her figure as the two of them waltzed into the club. He took in his surroundings. This was the first time that he had been into a night club in Ashtown. It wasn't too different from what he was used to in his hometown, but this place was well..more packed. Maybe because it was smaller, he reasoned. It really was smaller compared to what he was used to. It didn't mean that this club was any less rowdy and loud, though. The music was blaring, and he could see people having a good time on the dance floor. Colette's voice broke through his observations. His brows rose. "I didn't recall letting you order me a drink," he noted, though he let the bartender hand him a drink and took a sip, before accepting Colette's toast and taking a couple more sips. "It's nice. Not too different from what I'm used to. You go here a lot? I mean, you obviously do. But you know what I mean. Thrice a week? More? Less?"

[jfcbridgette-deactivated2014070]

After realising she’d left her diary back on the bus, Bridgette bolted towards the bus stop, hoping it hadn’t left yet. She was lucky. Shuffling down the bus, she finally reached the back. She’d always preferred sitting towards the back of the vehicle. It was mainly so she could see everyone else before her. “Hi, sorry,” Bridgette muttered, “I think I left my diary down by your seat.”

[xavierdennings]

He looked up to see who it was. It was this girl that he had seen a couple of times before, but wasn't so sure if he knew. Xavier was positive that he recognized her face, though. When she asked about her diary, he furrowed his brows. It wasn't in his seat, and the seat beside his was empty. He leaned forward and rummaged the pocket of the seat to his front, and felt his hand coming in contact with what seemed like a book. Pulling it out, he saw that it was her diary. "Is this it?" he asked.

So, one of my books just got released. It’s in stores now, which is very exiting. 

Oh, and this is the cover. Could have done better, but I guess it’s okay.

[xavierdennings]

"Looks alright," he said, shrugging. "What's it about?"

[xavierdennings]

"God, so many books to read," Xavier muttered as he plopped down on one of the seats on the bus. His classes for today had ended, but one of his professors had ended the class with a bunch of books about directors to read. They were now lying on his lap, and he was about to place them on the empty seat when he heard footsteps headed toward him.

You'll be there to save me || Colette & Xavier

[sephtobias-deactivated20160820]

Without turning around from her open wardrobe, Colette replied, “Of course I don’t want you to save me because no. No way. There is no way in hell I’m falling in love with you and definitely not marrying you.” She said it without malice, because in her mind, and in his, she believed, it was all facts. There was no way that she was going to fall for him, and he for her. It just wasn’t their thing. They were together at first because they were forced to because of that damn assignment they still have to finish but now, they got together mostly for the sex. They didn’t exactly enjoy each other’s company, except for the times they were both completely naked and screaming each other’s names. It didn’t even matter where they did it, just as long as they did and they were safe. After the little scarefest the morning after the bonfire, they became much more careful with their actions. Sure, they still clawed and bit at each other in the naughtiest ways possible but they did it with precaution and when all that was over, then the real fun and the haste for it to began ensued. 

A few hours later, Colette found herself wearing one of her sexiest dresses. It was a black tube top, which was a great contrast against her pale complexion and it hugged her in all the right places. Her hair was down, messy as usual and though the Ashtown air was still a bit chilly, the night was young and the anticipation warmed her up from the top of her head down to her manicured toes, all clad up in her red killer heels. “How do I look?” She knew she looked pretty good in her outfit, and though she didn’t expect anything but an insult from Xavier, Colette just knew it was one of those questions she had to ask, like protocol when going out to a club or anywhere where lots of people could see her, the usual she’s gotten used to. She eyed Xavier warily and then gave him a small smile and her nod of approval. “You actually don’t look bad.” Colette put on a mask of mock surprise before looping her arm around his. “And we are actually going to have fun tonight, yeah?” Colette nudged him with her hip as they entered the club, the smell of booze and sweat and the sound of the thumping bass vibrating in their chests greeting them. 

[xavierdennings]

Xavier laughed out loud at Colette's response. That was exactly what he had expected. Perhaps other people would be offended if someone ruled out the possibility of falling in love with them, but with these two, neither would be. It was plain and simple. She didn't like him, he didn't like her. It was just another fact. The sky is blue, the world is around, Xavier and Colette would never fall in love with each other. Or at least, that was what he liked to believe—and he was fairly sure that it was what she liked to believe too. "Then why do you still want to be my princess? I'd rather you be that scrawny little peasant where the gallant knight saves out of his kind heart." The scowl slowly left Xavier's face, and was replaced by a smirk as he watched her pick out clothes and stuff. Eventually growing bored, he hopped off his bed, "I'm going to head home and go find something to wear, yeah? See you later." Without waiting for an answer, he slung his bag over his shoulder and headed out of the room.

***

Dressing up actually only took him less than thirty minutes. He had quite a couple of button-down shirts, so he took whatever was on top of the stack. It was a black short-sleeved one, and it didn't look too shabby. He checked the mirror for a moment and neaten down his hair before grabbing a pair of shoes and exiting his apartment room. It didn't take too long before he was finally at the address that Colette had told him to go to. Xavier frowned for a moment, wondering where the hell the girl in question was when he heard her. It was undoubtedly her, with the heels clanking on the ground. Who else would approach him anyway? He turned his head, and the sight of a gorgeous Colette greeted him. He whistled, "Damn, you clean up nice. I didn't know that you could look this good. And thank you, I know that I look good." He grinned, showing her that nothing that he was saying should be taken too seriously. He didn't want her thinking that he thought that she was sexy as hell. "Yeah, fun. Right. Whatever your idea of fun is. Let's go," he said, tugging her arm and leading her into the club.

[sephtobias-deactivated20160820]

You'll be there to save me || Colette & Xavier

[sephtobias-deactivated20160820]

Colette rolled her eyes. There were times that she saw that guy who took control and helped her when she was drunk, who she made out with heavily and found that she immensely enjoyed it but there were times - such as right now - where she can see the Xavier she was so rude to during that day in creative writing class because he seemed to hate already without even getting to know her. She decided to humor him for awhile, needing his confirmation of his going with her later tonight before pulling out the big guns to insult him and tease him the way she needed to do to get some peace of mind. “Fine, just think of it this way.” She murmured as she remembered that idea back when they just started. Colette then used one long finger to tilt his chin up so that he was looking right at her and their lips were tantalizingly close. “You’ll be the knight in shining armor and I’ll be the gorgeous princess, just waiting for you to say yes and save me. Happy?” Colette raised an eyebrow and leaned closer, not connecting their lips quite yet. 

"Like you didn’t enjoy every minute of it." Colette muttered, rolling her eyes once again as she pulled back, letting her breath fan his face instead of the kiss she had planned on giving him. "In fact, I can’t even remember admitting anything. You on the other hand, said out loud just how great that night was, thanks to moi." She smirked before letting out a soft laugh. "Well, thank God for that." Colette murmured, glaring at him before planting her lips on his, her arms still wrapped around his neck. She took a moment before moving off of him to go to her dresser, swaying her hips as she did so. Now, what was she going to wear for tonight? She thought, as she opened the dresser doors. "Seriously, though. Do make an effort to look good tonight, mmkay? You’re going with me and lots of people there know me and since you’re not so… well-known, it’s better to make an impression." Colette called out, her back to him.

[xavierdennings]

It was difficult to hate her when she was straddling him and giving him that look that made him, well, not him. He wasn't usually like this. But Colette definitely brought out the wilder side of him, and Xavier was still contemplating whether he liked it or not. Nonetheless, he couldn't hate her when they were in this position. Any straight guy would be crazy to not enjoy it, especially a straight guy who was single and had not had sexual interactions with a girl in quite some time—minus that night after the bonfire, which of course, only added to the fact that Xavier couldn't deny that he found Colette sexy. He detested her bratty personality, yes, but he'd be lying to himself if he said that there was no physical attraction toward her. Although he enjoyed lying to himself very much, denying this drove him crazy. It only made him want her more.

Groaning when she moved away from his lap, Xavier scowled at her retreating form. Was the extra sway of her hips necessary? He knew that she was aware of the effect that she had on him, but he didn't exactly enjoy how she always used it to her advantage. "You want me to save you?" he asked, his brows raised. Despite still slightly irritated, the young man let amusement seep into his voice. "You do know what happens to the knight and the princess at the end of the fairytale, right? They fall in love, and the king decides that they should get married. Not sure about you, but that's not exactly how I picture our tale." To say that he enjoyed riling up Colette was an understatement. Both of them knew that there was absolutely no romance included in whatever this was that they were involved in, but he still couldn't help pointing that out. "And yeah, yeah. I'll find something a little dressy. Not that I don't usually look good," Xavier added, shrugging nonchalantly.

[xavierdennings]

You'll be there to save me || Colette & Xavier

[sephtobias-deactivated20160820]

Colette pulled back from the kiss slightly to look into his eyes. How was she going to play this out? She knew that if she became severely demanding and off-putting then there was no way in hell Xavier would go with her. She had to sugarcoat everything, and though she didn’t want to, it was going to be fun to see what Xavier thought of all the convincing. It wasn’t everyday that they got together - well, not together  together - and didn’t have to work on the damn assignment. Colette wasn’t exactly sure why and she would never admit this to anyone but she actually somehow enjoyed Xavier’s presence in her life. Somewhat. Not really. Maybe it was just because she hasn’t experienced that rough of sex in a long time, and that tends to stick to one’s mind. Colette scooted over and straddled him quietly, chuckling to herself as she remembered the last time she was in that position. She wrapped her arms around Xavier’s neck and leaned down to give him yet another kiss. 

This time, Colette pulled away first and bit down on her lower lip. “Do you really want me to crash into a tree?” It was somewhat of an inside joke between them now and Colette had to keep herself from laughing. They spent a whole night and half a day together while she was mostly drunk and now she was inviting him to go with her as she got drunk once again. Maybe she should use that to persuade him? Maybe she’s going to give him some more tonight, she thought, but maybe Xavier wouldn’t like that as much as she hoped? Sighing, Colette said, “You don’t even have to drink. Just come with me. You don’t even have to stick around! Well,  I mean you don’t have to stay with me in the bar. You can go pick up some other drunk girl, if you want, but we have to get out together. Or something. Just go with me. Please.” Colette threw in that last word with a small kiss, hoping he was going to say yes. 

[xavierdennings]

Honestly, the reason that Colette was giving him was shit, but hey, maybe it would indeed be fun. As dangerous as a drunk Colette was, she was also kind of funny. She was pretty good source of entertainment, to think of it. But although his mind was made up, he wasn't going to give her the satisfaction of being able to convince him so easily. Wrapping his arms around her waist when she sat on his lap, he grinned. "Oh, so I'm gonna be playing the part of the knight in the shining armor?" Xavier asked with an expectant look on his face. "I told you that I'd be a hero in a fairytale." He vaguely remembered arguing with Colette over their little assignment when he first came over—they were bantering about who would be the good and who would the evil one in a fairytale.

"I don't care if you crash into a tree, or collapse on the ground," he truthfully admitted, his grin slowly morphing into a lazy smirk. Despite all their flirtations, it wasn't a secret that they still fought all the time. And that neither of them really gave a shit about the other one. "But I think I would like to see you drunk. That'd be quite a sight. Although maybe I do need to keep my distance this time, or we'll end up in my bed again." He teased her, knowing full well that she wouldn't be complaining if that happened. Neither would he, to be honest. It wasn't exactly every day that he got to have such a good time in bed. "Fine, I'll go."

[hyattno]

By saying that, you’re also agreeing to getting drunk off your ass and singing horrible, redundant Christmas carols, so I’ll give you a bit of time to rethink that answer before wholly agreeing.

[xavierdennings]

I think it's more like me laughing at you getting drunk off your ass and singing horrible Christmas carols. So yeah, I'm definitely in.

[hyattno]

No one’s been willing to.

[xavierdennings]

If it means getting wine and some chocolates, then hell yes I am.

[ffslillian-deactivated20150724]

No. He’s new to town and always compliments me.

[xavierdennings]

Looks like someone's got a crush on you.

Alcohol, Ethan, the color black, eye shadow and being a total bitch. That’s about it..

[xavierdennings]

Ah, I see. Ethan? Is he your boyfriend?
