Xavier opened the door expecting the delivery man, not you who looked as if you had the weight of the world on your shoulder, ‘’My star, what are you doing here? I thought you were going out to a roast’’ He says, making sure to take your bag from your hand, You thanked him before removing your heels by the door, Xavier went inside, placing your bag on the coffee table and walking back to you, finding you putting your shoes in a corner,
‘’Xavier, I am so fucked, I volunteered to make cookies due to the host having little to no time to prepare some’’ you say in one beath before he decided to interrupt her, ‘’Star when do you need it? Maybe I can help you with backing’’ He saw your deadpanned stare as he chuckled ‘’Maybe not but we can buy some?’ There are options Darling, You don’t have to worry’’ a small smile bloomed on your face, something that made him happy.
‘’Xav, Baby I tried calling bakers but they said that it would be impossible to make 100 cookies during rush hour, and I really appreciate you offering to help but..’’ Your words drifted off which made him chuckle getting flashbacks of his attempts of ‘cooking’
‘’Well we can make it and maybe I can help with the ingredients? So I can lighten the load for you’’ your eyes light up ‘’wait really?’’ he hums slowly directing you into the kitchen with his hand on your lower back, instructing you to take a breath.
‘’Xavier, thank you, I cannot thank you enough’’ he hums before planting a kiss on your lips, ‘’I’ll take the ingredients you need and you can switch into one of my shirts so you don’t get your dress dirty?’’ He suggests ‘’Thank you Xavier’’ you say before grazing a kiss on his cheek making his face heat up.
He didn’t hesitate to walk over to the cabinet, glad that he went shopping earlier today.
He took everything out including measuring cups before waiting for you to come- impatient on seeing you with his shirt on - a sight he’s seen a million times but still feels new every moment.
Thankfully, you came out sooner, wearing his boxers and an old t-shirt he had lying around. ‘’You look gorgeous my star’’ he couldn't help but to compliment you ‘’Aww thank you Xavi’’ you said before rushing to the kitchen while putting your hair up and getting ready to bake.
The time passed in a blur to him, if the evidence wasn’t present, he would think that he was dreaming, The kitchen looking very ran through with flour decorating the counter, a variety of trays splayed on the island and of course, the fruits of your labour present in the oven, filling the room with its scent making her to let out a sigh of relief.
‘’Star, Why don’t you rest for now, you have 40 more minutes left’’ he said not wanting you to be tired during the party, but instead you shook your head and hugged him - an act that had immediately made him melt. ‘’No, I’m going to spend time with my boyfriend’’ you slurred and rested your face against his neck. ‘’I'm a flattered star but you need some rest’’ he pulled you away before holding your waist, guidning you to the bed, before kneeling down and removing his shoes from your feet.
‘’Thank you sweetheart, I can’t even express how much I’m grateful for you’’ He gives you a smile, before getting into bed, pulling you closer to his chest and softly rubbing her back to offer some sort of comfort.
It took some time before your breathing relaxed and he slipped out from your embrace, carefully walking towards the kitchen, wanting to pack up the food, to make your life a little easier.
He cleaned everything and packed the cookies in boxes he found before sneaking back into bed, taking you back into his embrace and planting a kiss onto your forehead.
