Chapter 149: Wooing Her Silently
After making sure he was looking his best, Xander finally accepted the video call request.
Golden didn't know that the request had been accepted, she was trying to hang a dress in her closet and was backing the camera.
She had connected her phone to her desktop so Xander could see a very clear view of her.
For about a minute, Xander was lost. Golden was wearing a two piece lounge wear. It was peach in colour and her black long hair was cascading down her back in loose curls.
She made a move to adjust her hair and tuck it behind her ears as she picked up another cloth from her bed.
The simple things she did like tuck her hair behind her ears, release her breath had Xander mesmerized and sent his heart into palpitation.
Everything about her was perfect and had him awestruck.
She turned and noticed that Xander had picked and said, “I didn't know you had accepted the call. Please just give me a few seconds to put these clothes where they belong and you would have my full attention.”
“Sure, take your time, I can spare a few seconds.” he said. Xander watched her put away the clothes on the bed into the closet, then neatly arrange some other things into a side drawer.
Stack her berevage and can drinks into her mini fridge, and prepare a snack bowl for herself.
The whole process took about two minutes, and Xander was enthralled the whole time.
“Sorry, I had to fix up my room, I had a long day and didn't have time to fix it since morning. I'm all yours now.” Golden said.
“Marry me!” Xander said. When Golden said “I'm all yours now” on impulse he wanted to make it a reality even though he knew she was speaking literally.
He didn't even realize he said it out loud until Golden spoke with a shocked expression.
“Excuse me?” She said almost choking on her cookies.
“Sorry I didn't realize I said that out loud, I was just kidding. Ignore it.” Xander said laughing as he looked at Golden's shocked expression as she tried to control her breath.
Golden ignored it. She didn't peg Xander as the joking type but she didn't really know the guy so she let it slide.
“So your goddaughter's birthday is coming up soon, what do you have in mind?” she asked.
“Well I don't know, that's why I called you. You love kids and you have a good sense of style and a taste for good things. So please help me out.”
“Tell me what your goddaughter is like? What does she like, what interests her, what does she like to do for fun?” Golden asked.
“Honestly I don't really know much about her, but one thing I can tell you is that she's a girlie girl and she's obsessed with One Direction band.” Xander said trying to rack his brain.
“Well One Direction happen to have a concert this Saturday in London. You can get concert tickets for her and fly her out to London to see the concert. I'm very sure she would love it.”
“That sounds like a very good idea. I don't know why I didn't think of this. But the problem is, how do I get concert tickets? The show must be sold out by now.?”
“Don't worry, leave that to me, I can pull some strings and get you two concert tickets. Actually, my friends and I planned to go see the concert too so I'm sure we can work something out.”
“Perfect! I'll be flying out to London on Friday. My friend actually lives in Manchester so I'll be the one flying to London.
So what's the plan? Do we meet at the venue to get the tickets? Sally is so going to be thrilled. Thanks Gigi you are the best.” Xander said with a smile.
After the call, Gigi went to Elsa's room to ask if she could get extra concert tickets. Elsa was also a One Direction super fan and she was the one that got them the tickets.
Elsa had ties with Hollywood and most of her family members were in Hollywood so it wasn't difficult getting two extra tickets.
To make things easy, Gigi had told Varney she and her friends were going to London for the weekend and he had made arrangements for someone to come pick them up from school.
On Friday evening, after their last class for the day, Golden, Elsa, Grace, and Kyla packed their weekend bags and went down to the visitor's carpark.
The driver came down and went to load their luggage in the trunk.
“Miss Nixon, Master Varney asked me to take you ladies to D'Mariot Hotel for dinner.
He made a reservation so you ladies can have dinner before heading to the Manor.”
“That's fine Carl. Thank you for coming out here to pick us up.” Golden said with a smile to the driver.
“It's a pleasure to serve you Miss. I have also arranged for your car so that you can easily move around tomorrow. But if you don't want to drive yourself, I can equally take you wherever you want to go.”
They arrived at the hotel and went to their table. They had dinner and went home and were received by the housekeeper.
“By the way Gigi, I got you two backstage passes for your friend's goddaughter. Since it's her birthday, she should get backstage passes to see her idols.” Elsa said as she handed Golden the passes.
“Thanks girl, I really appreciate this. I'm sure it's going to be a very memorable birthday. I owe you one.”
The girls were relaxing in the game room and playing video games. It was 9 pm already and Golden was trying to make progress on the mystery novel she was reading.
Her phone beeped with an incoming message from Xander. He had arrived in London and had just settled into his hotel.
Xander: “Hi Gigi, I just checked into my hotel. If it's not too much trouble, can I see you? I don't want to have dinner alone.”
Even as Xander sent the message, he was anxious as to how Golden would respond. Would she accept or decline?”
