Kya & Xavier: It's Always Been You (Life As We Know It Book 1) Read Online Free PDF Page A

self-esteemed girls offering up their goods
through text with no expectation of commitment. Xavier was definitely not
lacking in the looks department and with a body like his coupled with being a
star athlete he had more than his share of groupies who were willing to do any
and everything he wanted them too. I knew it and I hated it but there was
nothing that I could do about it.
    There were also seven missed calls and several unread text
from Tori. I was even more tempted to read those but I didn't want to give him
the satisfaction of knowing that I was creeping so instead I set his alarm for
9:45 and 10:00. I figured that would give him plenty of time to get to is 11:00
o'clock class since it would only take him about fifteen minutes to drive back
to his campus.
    I overloaded my book bag with all my binders and books since
this was my busy day with three classes back to back.   I usually tried to avoid wasting gas by having
to drive back to the dorms in between classes. I was on a slim budget with my
monthly allowance from my parents and a few tutoring gigs every now and then.
    When I was done I stood up and glanced at Xavier for a minute
wondering how different my life might be if I had never met him. The muscles in
his shoulder and back flexed as he balled up my pillow and pulled it closer to
his face after I turned off the main light. Every inch of his body was perfect. Perfect! I wondered if there would be
a different guy laying in my bed or none at all. Would I be in a relationship
with someone who was man enough to make me and only me his world?
    I couldn't remember a time when it wasn’t just me and Xavier.
I knew he cared but he just couldn’t do right to save his life. There was
always some girl coming between us and it killed me every time a new one surfaced.
I was always his number one but the problem was that there was always a number
two or three or four and that's the part that I couldn't handle so freshman
year of college I made the choice to finally let go.
    Wow Ky, that really worked out for
you didn’t it. I
told him I wanted out before we ending up hating each other to the point where
we couldn’t recover from it so here we are. It didn’t take long for the random
girls to enter the picture which wasn't a surprise to me because Xavier didn't
know how to be alone.
    I tried to be the best friend to him that I knew how to be.
The trouble with that was all I ever knew how to be for him was a girlfriend so
our friendship often lead patterns of random sex with emotional entanglement
that always left me confused about where I fit into his life.
    I picked up my phone, car keys, book bag and left my dorm
room. I grabbed a bottle of orange juice out of the refrigerator and left for
class.

    “What’s good boo?” Toni all but yelled as she approached me.
    I looked up from my Chemistry notes to see my best friend and
roommate standing over me. I had been sitting in the lounge area of the café
for at least an hour studying for my test.
    “What's up with you?” I asked, shut my spiral notebook and
checked her out. She was decked out as always in a navy sweater, printed
leggings and dark chocolate combat boots. Her shoulder length auburn weave was
clipped loosely behind her head falling in what I figured was a purposely
creating messy bun. I was dressed the complete opposite of trendy in black
leggings, a gray hoodie and gray converse. College had totally wiped out my
ability to care about being fashionable. Comfort was now my only priority when
I came to clothes these days.
    “I saw your boy this morning when I got back.” Toni flopped
down onto the oversized burgundy vinyl sofa next to me and crossed her legs so
that she could adjust the thick knitted socks that were peeking out of her
chocolate leather boots.
    “Don't start Tee.” I said.
    “Start what? I'm just telling you I saw your boy.” She said
with a smirk.
    “It’s not what you said, it's what you didn't say.” I cut my
eyes at
