"Damn Kitten... You got me acting like a teenage boy. Is that how it's going to be for the rest of our lives?" Xander moaned out
"Bold of you to assume I am spending the rest of my life with you" I giggled into his ear. A threatening growl escaped h...

THEA'S POV
It has been three weeks since the whole Xander thing and things have been awfully quiet. I am not complaining but something doesn't feel right. It might have something to do with Lila not coming home for the last six days, or that creepy guy that has been standing in front of my house for the past three weeks.
Now the guy hasn't been doing anything weird. He is just standing outside and doing his stuff which is nothing. At first, I didn't really care. But then after a few days, when he just didn't move, I got a little concerned. When I told Lila about it, she said we can't really do anything since he isn't standing on our property or doing anything that's breaking the law. However, she did approach him, but the guy just shrugged off, not saying anything.
Since Lila hasn't been home, I am just too scared to do anything. That man didn't exactly have a friendly face and I had the strength of a feather. I just prayed that Lila comes home tonight. Dialing her number, the phone rang but she didn't answer it. My anxiety was creeping in and I dialled in her number again. And still no response.
Finally after giving her nine missed calls, she picks up the call.
"Fuck Lila, why weren't you picking up your phone?" I gasped, almost scolding her.
"Hey, I am so sorry. We got this huge lead in the murder case and we had been trying to find some information. We finally got something, so I was with the boss. Everything okay?" She explained, sounding apologetic. I felt guilty. She is already doing so much for me. I didn't want to start complaining now.
After she picked me up from that restaurant where Xander left me, she had never left my side for a week and she even took me to the park. When she asked me how I reached the restaurant, I told her that I ran away. I don't know why I lied but I didn't think she would act very rational if I had told her that Xander almost raped me. She already had too much to deal with and the last thing I wanted was for her to get hurt while trying to help me.
"Thea, you there?" I heard Lila ask
"Yeah, yeah, I am sorry, I zoned out"
"Is everything okay? Is the creepy guy still standing outside?" She asked, concerned
"Yes he is. He hasn't moved from his spot. But it's still scary. Will you not be home tonight as well?" I voiced out my fear
"I am so sorry Thea, but I don't think I will. I wish I could get into the details but you know I can't. This is important but if you still want me to come, I can make some time"
"No, no, it's okay. I will be fine. I will just watch something to distract my mind. You do your thing" I hurriedly spoke. I didn't want to get her in trouble because of me.
"I promise I will be there tomorrow. There is some ice-cream in the freezer"
"I know" I finished it the night Lila didn't come back home. I also got four more tubs which I have been finishing each day. I woke up with a cold today morning, so I didn't really get one today.
