Chapter 4 - Xander

My girl has been staying with us for a week now and am happy that my Father has not brought it up during our dinners, honestly i didn't want Nick anywhere near her. Hearing what she went through from Doctor Summers troubled me so i decided to dig deeper, i told Hank to do a background check on her and found out that she was an orphan. That hurt me to my core, the fact that she had to put up with that piece of shit because she had no where to go, it also gave me a sense of determination, i wanted to protect her and on top of it all i wanted to love her. It was a choice that i was going to allow her to make but until she did i was going to be there for her.

"Why do you look so lost?", Nick asked as he entered the living room, i tried sitting in the same room as Lola but she was so uncomfortable that she didn't move an inch although Maria told me that she was all chatty when i was not around, even Hank got more sentences out of her that i did. It pissed me off but Maria told me she needed time. I hated the feeling and decided to enjoy some peace and quiet and here comes Nick spoiling it, he didn't even live here. "Am not", "Is it the girl the maids have been talking about?", he asked and i played it cool but i wanted to know. "What are they saying?", my curiosity gave me away making the idiot smile at me like he just discovered i lost something. "Are you gonna tell me?", "No, I'd rather torture you more, if that is ok with you", his answer made me roll my eyes and play hard to get but he knew me better than anyone and started laughing until Dad walked in. "Tell me if i need to return that nurse here to check on your nuts, why is he laughing like a maniac?", he asked and i just shrugged my shoulders. "Did you know that you favourite son is in love? like actually X, falling in love", my Dad smirked meaning he agreed with Nick, i was so getting uncomfortable and i had given up on getting the details for him, i knew Maria would say everything if i promise her a weekend off, i didn't need Nick. I stood up trying to go back to my room when Dad stopped me, "Hey there is nothing wrong with expressing your feelings", "Like you do with Amanda?", my answer made his eyes go wide and i knew karma was reality, i descended to my room with a chuckle, leaving behind a confused Nick. This is the thing, Dad is never comfortable speaking about his feelings and it's only recently that he started opening up to me so you can imagine how he was feeling now that i outed him to Nick.

"Hey baby girl, how was your day?", I asked Lola not expecting a reply but she turned to me and had a smile on her face? It shocked for a bit but i recovered quickly. "H-h-hi Xander", her stuttering was cute, it made me smile as i sat on the coach that was next to my bed or should i say our even though the coach was more of my bed than the actual bed, i wondered how she would feel under me when i had my way with her. "Have you eaten?", i asked and she nod her pretty head making my eyes settle on her neck, i swallowed hard and averted my eyes to the closet. "We should go buy you some close baby girl, is tomorrow ok?", "Ok". She said and went back to watching a movie. Lola was changing me and although i had no idea into what i loved it. I was going to spoil the hell out of her because she is the only woman that i know will mend my broken heart and keep it safe forever, i just hoped that my life wont scare her away from me.

"What about your work clothes? Doctor Summers said you can start work next week if you want", I told her and her face lit up, she was happy, good. "What kind of clothes do you like?", i asked not giving up on her opening up to me. There was no other way that i was going to win this unless i made her comfortable around. That is exactly what this trip to the mall was giving me. "Pencil skirts", she whispered shyly, i nod my head and led her to the store that i know had work clothes, i picked up a bunch of clothes and gave her to go try them on, she looked amazing in all of them so we got them all even though she tried her best to protest, i won, i always get what i want.

It was late and we were both tired, honestly the only thing that kept me going was the though of seeing her happy and spending more time with her. "Lets have burgers then head home, i have a conference call at midnight. I hate working with international clients", i said making her laugh, i smiled, great she was making fun of me. "What can i get ya?", the waitress kept putting her boobs on my face and it made me uncomfortable, i reached for Lola's hand to make a point and she was shocked. "Baby, what are we having?", my question made the waitress back away and i swear i saw a hint of mischief on Lola's face but it disappeared immediately and she smiled back telling the waitress that we were going to have burgers with fries. She left in a hurry. "Why did you do that?", she asked, a smile still on her face, "I don't like attention", "Why? she seemed to like you", "I know but i don't like her, i like you", i said. What? I was a straight forward person. My answer made her blush and realise that we were still holding hand under the table, she tried to pull away but i held her in place until our food arrived. One thing that am absolutely sure of is Lola has feelings for me too but i don't know how i will get close to her. This was the most contact that we have had since i carried her from the hospital. But it was progress and i was going to enjoy it. We ate our food in silence and later returned home where i found out that Nick was at his pent house so it was another day another crisis averted. Nick was going to be the last person to meet with Lola.
