CHAPTER 35: LOVER’S COMPETITION

Kyra’s POV

“Did you do something to make her mad?” I could hear Xyler whispering in Dominic’s ears while I made breakfast for two, specifically my special omelets.

Dominic had dragged Xyler towards the other end of the kitchen to help him toast bread, and they were whispering so loud that even humans could hear them!!

“What gave it away?” Dominic asked sarcastically.

“She looks scary when she looks in our direction, in fact, when she looks in your direction,” Xyler pointed out.

“Yeah, and shut up,” Dominic whispered back. “She can hear us,” he explained before pecking our boyfriend’s pouting plump, pink lips.

“Go and make it up to her,” Xyler cutely said while hugging Dominic from behind and resting his cheeks on the latter’s back while Dominic placed our toasts on a plate.

“Come and have your breakfast, boys!!” I called out as I served them a hearty amount of food on two plates.

“She said boys,” Dominic whispered. “Am I included?” he asked nervously.

Xyler snorted and taunted, “Of course not, silly. You have a vag, don’t you? Why would she call you a boy then?”

“Babe, you of all people know what I have down there, and I will not hesitate to show it to you again right here and right now,” Dominic said in Xyler’s ear, his voice low and deep, making the latter shudder.

The two of them shared a look full of heat and desire before I snapped them both from their lust-filled thoughts.

“The food is getting cold,” I coldly said. “Hurry up, you two,” I added while answering Dominic’s previous doubt.

“Babe, where is your plate?” Xyler asked, and Dominic was frowning as well.

“I am going to the grocery store to stock your kitchen. We are out of many things, and I will have lunch directly because I am not hungry. I had juice”, I hurriedly said and dashed to our room to get my purse.

Xyler was quicker on his feet, and soon enough, I was thrashing in his arms while he caged me between his legs and fed me half of his breakfast.

“You should eat, kitten,” he sternly said as if he was my parent. “How dare you skip the most important meal of the day,” he grumbled.

I opened my mouth to protest, but it was only filled with a load full of toast and eggs.

“Nghh nghh nghh,” I angrily tried to speak while glaring at Xyler, but he only ignored me to speak to Dominic.

“Babe? Could you please get me a bowl, knife and the fruits left in the fridge? She needs to eat more,” Xyler said as if I was a three-year-old child. Ughh.

“Sure!” Dominic replied and promptly came back with all the stuff.

“I can’t eat that much!!!” I exclaimed when I saw the basket and why the fuck didn’t I see that before?

As if reading my thoughts, Dominic answered, “Xyler got the fruit basket when he went jogging and kept it in the fridge when you were busy ummm showering.”

“Kay,” I curtly replied, and Xyler grabbed my chin to make me look his way. “What is wrong, babe? Why are you mad at Daddy?”, he asked perplexed.

“I don’t wanna talk about it. He played a nasty trick on me and broke my trust. I hate him so much for scaring me”, I answered and hugged my captor’s tight.

“You are so dead, asshole” I could hear Xyler mouth to Dominic.

“She has done worse before!” Dominic defended and regretted immediately when I got up from Xyler’s lap and stormed out of the apartment.

“I AM GOING TO THE GROCERY STORE!!” I shouted and dashed out.

As I walked out of the lobby, I noticed Ms. Pierce, Xyler’s colleague at the uni, come in from the opposite direction, and one could say that we were both surprised to see each other.

Being courteous that I was with every elder, although she was hardly five years or so elder to me max to max, I greeted her, “Good morning, Ms. Pierce. Good day to you!!”

“Mornin,’ Ms. Diaz,” she greeted back. “What are you doing here instead of being in your dorm?” she asked with a look of suspicion evident on her face. “Do the hostel authorities know about your whereabouts?” she questioned while frowning.

So many questions.

Ughh.

Is this some kind of a pop quiz?

“I had come to visit a friend, Ma’am,” I replied with as much patience as I could muster. “And yes, the hostel officials know that I shall be away for the weekend,” I answered her questions in order. “If I may have your permission, Ma’am, I have to hurry to the store to get some emergency stuff,” I politely said.

“Must be to get condoms or worse, pregnancy pills for sex without protection,” she rudely huffed. “…. or for drugs and cigarettes and God knows what”, the snarky lady added.

What the hell!!

Someone seems to have come from Bitchville directly.

Why the fuck is she talking to me like that?

I never interacted with her before saving for some substitute classes that she used to take in our class.

“Excuse me?” I asked incredulously. As far as I remember, I had played mild tricks on her, and she did not even know who did them. In fact, none of the professors could figure that out save for Xyler.

“Look, Ms. Diaz. I know that this apartment is owned by Xyler completely, and only old aged men and women live here with no ghost of a young person living with them. So I think my assumption is pretty much right that you are with Xyler, and let me remind you that he is a professor, and you are a student. If you two are caught doing some frick frack, then the law of the country will not be able to save you two from going behind bars. Hence, I would highly suggest that you study hard and not let your slutty self be seen anywhere near my Xyler”, the crazy woman ranted out.

“Oh hey! There you are, princess!!” Dominic’s soothing voice floated in.

Oh, thank God, he came!

His annoying presence was getting on my nerves before, but he was my savior right now.

I was about to have a panic attack when Ms. Pierce started threatening me before. The panic attack was not because I would be suspended or end up in jail. It was solely because she claimed Xyler to be “hers,” and I was so close to going to jail for murder!!

ARGGGHHHHHH.

“Where were you, baby? You left without me,” Dominic pouted, and I would have surely kissed his protruding lips. However, I was still really pissed by his insolent behavior last night plus Xyler’s fangirl seemed to be scrutinizing us with X-ray eyes, so I did not dare to do anything handsy pansy in front of the bitch.

Ms. Pierce fake coughed to get back our attention to her and asked, “You live here, Mr. Cohen?”

“Oh! I did not see you there, Ma’am!! Good day to you, and yes, I live here”, he answered the suspicious female professor.

“Really? And which floor?” she further questioned.

“I live with Mr. Canary, Miss,” he replied coolly.

“And what about this young goddess of terror here?” she sniggered as she pointed towards me.

“Oh, this cute, little munchkin here?” Dominic chuckled while shaking my chin between his fingers. “She is my caring girlfriend who came to study with me and then get groceries for us. Isn’t she a dear now, Ms. Pierce” he fondly said, and Ms. Pierce seemed to look both relieved and disgruntled.

Guess she still saw me as a threat.

Little did she know that she was already late.

Xyler is only my baby!!

“That’s good then. I have to look after my boy too,” Ms. Pierce remarked and went straight for the elevator, which opened at precisely that moment.

“Someone, please stop me from turning around and punching the shit out of that pathetic, delusional lady for thinking about taking OUR Xyler!!” Dominic growled.

I rolled my eyes and walked away, leaving the fuming boy behind.

I was not going to talk to him.

He needed to earn my forgiveness first!
