HIS STRANGE DAMSEL

‍️ XAVIER’s POV:‍️

‘so, your mum plans on adopting her or what?” Chelsea asked as we sat next to each other in the car on our way to school.

I”d just explained the whole alien story to her.

“Well…. something like that. She claims the lady needs help and she’s probably the only one that can protect her” I replied with a shrug and she scoffed.

She clearly looked upset.

“Where does she even come from, anyway? And is it just a coincidence she met your mum?” She further asked and I just shrugged, not having an answer to it.

“Gosh! So, you two will be living together?” She went on talking and hmm

I smelt jealousy this time around.

“Do you want to chase her away?” I asked with a light smile and she rolled her eyes.

She didn’t say a word for a while, clearly seething with anger.

“By the way, Xavier” she broke the silence.

“Prom is just a few days ahead. Have you chosen a date, yet?”

Oh! Prom.

“Um……not really. I don’t have anyone in mind for now” I replied and she scoffed.

“Are you kidding me? Prom is just a few weeks away and you haven’t chosen a date?”

I could tell she was being sarcastic.

“How about you? Have you gotten a date?” I asked and noticed she twitched.

“Um…. well, lots of guys have been coming to me for sometime now. But…. I’m yet to make a pick” she replied and I chuckled.

“Are you kidding me? Prom is just few weeks away and you also don’t have a date? What’re you waiting for?” I asked sarcastically and she pouted her lips and hit me on the chest and I laughed.

After a while, we arrived at school and alighted the car as soon as the driver parked.

Chelsea wrapped her hand around mine, probably as a signal to tell others to back off.

Well, that’s what she does each time we’re together in school. She loves drawing attention and that’s because no other person has the guts to touch me.

All eyes kept revolving around us as we walked along, and close to the classroom, Mitchell showed up.

“Xavier!” She called in excitement, but the excitement on her face died down when she noticed Chelsea holding my hand.

“Hi Mitchell” Chelsea said with a sarcastic smile and tightened her grip around me.

“Oh! Yes, I’m so sorry, dearie. I actually got hooked up with something and couldn’t make it. So sorry about that”.

“Okay. Um…. I didn’t know when you left, Xavier” she turned to me

“You know, we….”

“Yeah…I had to. If you don’t mind, excuse me” I said brusquely and walked away with Chelsea who smirked.

Hours Later

After a very long while, I returned home with the woman after getting a lot of things.

She”d gotten me some strange leaves which she referred to as *clothes*

And she had also taken me to a place where they worked on my hair and made it more beautiful.

Earth is such a wonderful place, isn’t it?

I”d actually seen a lot of amazing things which I wished to touch, but the woman held my hand all through and didn’t let me out of her sight.

“Here; put this on, Delaney. Its perfect for the plan” she said as she stretched out a *cloth*to me.

I collected it and tried wrapping it around me.

“Delaney! Come on! You should know how to wear a cloth by now” she exclaimed and collected it from me.

Hmph.

She helped me with it and…wow! It looked really beautiful.

“Come on” she took me to a sit in front of a mirror.

“Is there any need for make up? I think you look perfect this way, right?” She asked as she stared into the mirror with me from behind.

Hmm

Wow! I really looked….. beautiful.

My long hair was now relaxed and looked more dark.

My face was…. well, natural and pretty. What does she mean by make up, anyway?

She smiled and dressed my hair, moving it backwards.

“You’re one pretty lady, Delaney. Where’s your mother?” She asked and I felt my cheeks become hot.

“My…. my mother?” I repeated like I hadn’t heard her.

“Yes. Where’s she?”

“Um…. I don’t know if I have one cause I didn’t grow up with her” I replied and she mouthed an *oh*

I think she was about saying something else when we suddenly heard a sound and she ran to the window.

“He’s here!!” She gasped.

Who? Her son?

“He’s home, Delaney. Come on!” She said and dragged me up from the seat.

I played games with my Ipad at the backseat as I sat next to Rio in the moving car, headed home.

“But seriously man, don’t you think you were a little bit hard on Mitchell?”He asked and I scoffed.

“Are you kidding me? What exactly did I do? All I did was ask her to excuse me” I answered and he nudged me.

“Come on!! You’re too hard on ladies, dude. I sure didn’t teach you that” he raised his hands.

“Yeah…. but you can f**k and go, huh?” I asked him and he laughed.

Shortly, we arrived home and as soon as the car stopped moving, I stepped out with him.

Ah! At last

His phone started ringing and he excused himself to pick it up. But I didn’t wait for him and walked in.

I just needed a bath and a nap.

I opened the door to the sitting room, my eyes fixed on my iPad.

But I was forced to look up when I noticed a strange figure ahead.

Huh?

I saw a lady – a pretty one – holding a glass of juice.

What the……

Hold on; she looked familiar.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
