Chapter 50: [50] Good Intentions
Xavier checked his watch for the fifth time. Ten minutes had passed, and the girls were still in the bathroom.
What are they doing in there? Conducting a séance?
Just as he was considering sending a text to check on Calypso, the bathroom door swung open. Margaret emerged first, Selena followed, her gradient hair catching the light as she tossed it over her shoulder. Naomi stepped out next, her calculating gaze immediately finding Xavier. Finally, Calypso appeared, her cheeks flushed a deep pink that almost matched her eyes.
"There he is," Naomi said, her red lips curving into a smile that didn’t quite reach her eyes. "Waiting like a good boy, Xavi?"
The fuck?
Margaret nudged Calypso with her elbow. "Remember what we talked about. Don’t let him push you around."
"And text us if you need anything," Selena added, her ocean-blue tipped hair swaying as she leaned closer to Calypso. "Anything at all."
Calypso nodded, her silver hair falling across her face as she ducked her head. "Thank you all for the advice..."
"We should get going," Xavier said, pushing off from the wall. "Nice chatting with you ladies."
"See you tomorrow," Margaret called as they began walking away. "Both of you."
"Bye, Calypso! Bye, Xavi!" Naomi added with a small wave, emphasizing the nickname again.
