Meanwhile, Xavier quickly drove off once he took his keys from the valet. After he had arrived earlier, he sent his driver away when Nicole took her time to arrive. He didn't know what time they would be done.
He put on his seatbelt as he drove away from the restaurant. He connected his phone to the car's Bluetooth and dialed for his P.I (Private Investigator) a press of a button on his steering wheel. He had asked for him to monitor the two's movements as well as dig up more information on Noah.
"Where are they?" He asked.
"They just left your mother's place and I'm tailing them right now", the P.I answered.
"Keep me updated", he said before ending the call.
He slammed his hand on the wheel. Could tonight be any worse? He just suffered a breakup and now his mother was out dating whilst legally married? Did she lose her mind or something?
And this Noah guy, did he really have no bad intentions against his mother? He was about to find out since he would catch them offguard. He would like to see how Noah would snake his way out of the situation. Xavier would surely catch his true self in the act. He smirked at this thought as he stepped on the accelerator.
Following the directions the P.I gave him, they finally met on the road. Noah's car was a few cars away from the P.I's. Xavier flashed his lights at him signaling his take over before proceeding to follow the couple.
The sun had already set and darkness started to fall on the city. The roads were busy with cars and pedestrians trying to get home from work. He was unbothered by this as his focus was on Noah's car. After close to an hour of driving through the crazy traffic, they arrived at some cinema.
He waited for them to get in before he did the same. He got himself the movie ticket they would be watching.
"Toy Story 2?" His brows furrowed as he looked at the ticket before looking at the retreating back of Noah. He scoffed, "Is he serious?"
But he still followed after them into the Hall showing the movie. Victoria and Noah had bought snacks and drinks while he bought some popcorn to pass the time. He would attack them after the movie or if Noah tries anything on her.
He found himself a seat, three lines from the back. A lot of kids with their parents had turned up tonight. They spoke in hushed tones as they awaited for the movie to start. Xavier spotted the couple sitting rows down from him. He got a clear view. Perfect.
He set down his popcorn to his right and settled in his seat. The lights went off and the movie started. Someone came in on the same row and whispered apologies as they made their way to their seat which was right next to Xavier.
"Sorry", they whispered to Xavier as they settled down.
"It's okay", Xavier whispered back.
Hold on..... That voice. They both abruptly looked at each other and whisper shouted at the same time.
"Dad?"
"Xavier?"
"Sshhhh!" A child sitting in front of them glared at the two before looking up ahead.
"Fuck!" Xavier grumbled in a whisper.
A gasp was heard and he found the previous child's parent glaring at him.
"Sorry, that was not for him or you", he hastily explained in a whisper.
She shook her head before looking up ahead. The two men sat side by side grumpily. Of all people, he had to run into his father? What a terrible luck! He just had to run into his son while spying on his wife! And what is this Noah guy up to anyway?
Bump!
"Ow?!" They whisper shouted in unison.
They both glared at each other while one rubbed his forehead and the other his temple.
"Ssshhhhhhh!" The same parent shushed them with a glare before looking up ahead.
"Tch! Look what you've done! What are you doing here?" Xavier continued to whisper shout.
"I should be asking you that! I thought you were okay with that?" He nodded his head in Victoria's direction.
"I never said I was. No man is good enough for my mother and you're no exception", he snarled.
"Well, I have every right to be here because she's my wife", he bit back.
"Oh! She's suddenly your wife after someone else wants to take your spot?" He let out humorless chuckle with a scoff.
"Shut your mouth! You don't know anything."
"Oh! I know just enough to-"
"Pssst! You two!"
p A light was suddenly reflected onto their faces. A security man was using a flashlight to identify them. When they both looked his way, he gestured with a finger in a come hither motion. The father and son pair glared at each other before getting up from their seats and following the man.
"He started it", Xavier said once they were out of the hall.
"Whatever!" The man replied as he walked away.
"Great!" Xavier grumbled as he stuffed his hands into his pockets. He looked at Henry who was also standing there in clear annoyance. "What are you doing? Go home!"
"Boy! Don't forget that it's your father you're speaking to!" Henry warned in a dangerous tone.
That just fueled Xavier's rage. He was about to speak when a soft chuckle full of amusement resounded from behind them followed by the clicking of heels. They turned around and both their faces revealed shock.
"And what do we have here?"
"Mom."
"Victoria."
"Who knew I'd live long enough to see this day?" She looked between the two grown men who had been kicked out together. Noah stood a foot behind her as he watched her cross her arms against her chest. Her face now turned icy as she looked at her son and husband.
"Somebody better start talking", she said with impatience.
"Well...." They both started at the same time and shared a look, unsure of how they were going to explain themselves to the angry woman.
