Xander's Love

Chapter nine

I decide to act human for once. I wake up early and dress for a run. I go out to the town and jog. I like observing the human's normal lives. I turn the corner and a sharp pain rings in my head completely taking me off guard. The pain is excruciating and it travels through my spine like a jolting bolt.  
"Agh!!" I lean against the wall and I feel as if I hear voices ringing in my ears. It's like no pain I've felt before! I cover my ears and try to suppress the ringing.
"Agh!!! Stop!" I yell. The pain is so horrible it blurs my vision, like a migrane times a hundred.

The ringing finally stops and I take my hands off my ears. My hands are stained with my blood.

I run back to the house and try to avoid everyone as I hurry up the stairs. I go into the bathroom and wash my hands and the sides of my face where blood came out of my ears.

I don't know what happened to me but for now I don't think I want to tell anyone till I can understand it for myself.

"Alice" I am brushing my wet hair when Xander walks in.
"Hey what's up?" I smile. He sits down on the bed and opens his mouth to say something but nothing comes out.
"Do you mind if I stay here while you get ready?" He asks.
"Sure" I laugh. Xander watches intently as I drop my towel and pick out my undergarments. I can tell he wants to touch me but I think a part of him is still sensitive from the party. In reality I am too.

"Hey Fabio" I says as he walks through the front door.
"Alice" he smiles. After him walks in Olivia, Freddie, and Ruby. They came back from a feeding.

The rest of the day goes by slow, Xander and I are together all day but we get stuck a lot on what to talk about. Nobody really bothers us or asks questions which I'm grateful for. I want Xander and I to become comfortable with each other again. And I am determined to fix the broken man that sits next to me.

Three days later....

Julian and I make it a habit to take early morning walks together. For me it's like a therapy session because I really trust Julian's wisdom. He makes it a lot easier for me to be patient with Xander. And knowing him I am going to need a lot of it.

"Ready to go?" Julian asks as I come down the stairs.
"Mmhm" I smile.
"The days are becoming warmer" Julian says as we tread through the snow. March was closing in and the snow was starting to melt.
"I believe I'm falling for Xander" I say before even realizing the words came out.
"Alice, I do believe Xander is capable to love again but we talked about this..."
"I know. I know. But I just needed to say it out aloud I guess" I smirk. Julian returns my smile.
"You are a very strong..." Before Julian can finish his sentence the ringing in my ears starts again.
"Agh!!!" I crumble to my knees as I hear a million garbled voices at once.
"Alice! Alice!" Julian comes to my side with panic.
"What's wrong?!"
"Aghhhh!!!!" The ringing is even more painful than last time.
"Oh my god..." The pain stops and I breathe harshly as I try to bring it back to normal. I touch my ear and feel warm blood.
"Julian, you have to promise you can't tell anyone" I say. I grab some snow and wipe off the blood.
"Alice, what just happened?!" He helps me to my feet.
"It's the second time it's happened now, it starts with ringing in my ears and I start to hear voices" Julian looks concerned but who wouldn't?
"Please promise you won't tell anyone?" He nods.

I walk in my room and over to the bed to remove my boots. Then the door shuts and Xander is in my room.
"You startled me, Xander" I laugh.
"I can't take it anymore!" He rushes over to the bed and pushes me over and lays on top of me. Xander's lips are on mine, feeling this need of desperation in his kisses. I pull from the kiss and put my hands to either side of his face, looking in his eyes for any signs of distress.
"Are you okay?" Xander sighs and scrunches his eyebrows.
"To be honest? No. I just feel this need to be as close to you as possible" For the first time in days, Xander looks like he's picking up the pieces.
"Oh Xander" I bring his lips to mine and kiss him with so much longing.
"I want to take this slow" he lets out. I bite my lip and nod. Xander pushes me up so that my head is on the pillows. He brings my leg up to his side and takes his hand up and down my thigh causing shivers.

Xander removes my top and flings it off the bed, he moves my hair to the side so he can plant soft kisses down and around my neck. It's hard not to let out small moans.
"God, you are so beautiful" he murmurs. With everything that's been happening, seems like a lost memory now being under Xander's touch. He removes his shirt and sees the front clasp of my bra.
"Well that makes it a lot easier" he smirks. He unclasps the bra releasing my breasts. I can feel his growing erection through his jeans.

Xander sucks my nipples with tender.
"Ahhh...Ooo"
"Touch me" he whispers. I take my hands and ravel them in his hair and give a tug which earns me a groan from the back of his throat. Xander tugs on one of nipples causing me to moan louder. He pulls off my pants and underwear in one fluid motion. Then begins to remove his clothes entirely leaving us both completely naked. He puts his hands on my waist and lifts me up so that he is sitting on the bed and I am straddling him. I grab his shoulders for support and lower myself onto him. He hisses and grinds his teeth as his length completely fills me.
"Oh Alice...." He moans out. I start to move my hips at a slower pace.
"Faster" he groans. His wish is my command. I start to thrust faster causing the bed to shake immensely. I throw my head back in ecstasy as I get close to my orgasm. Xander grabs my waist and thrusts upwards at a faster pace.
"Oo I'm gonna cum" I moan.
"Cum for me baby girl" at his words I come and Xander right after. We topple over to where Xander lays on top.
"That was..."
"Yeah I know" Xander smirks. He closes his eyes and I can feel his heartbeat slowing down. His hair is a mess but still so damn hot. I move some of his hair from the corner of his forehead. Xander grabs my hand and kisses it, he doesn't let go of my hand after that.

Shit. I'm in love with Xander.
