The Staircase to Alexander's Heart

Chapter three

Today was kind of strange....Xander didn't come to the cafe. He never missed a day to come here but today he didn't even pass by. I changed my clothes and started waiting for Lisa to come out. We have physiology class together.

" Xander didn't come today right?" Lisa asked as we were walking down the road.
I held her by the arm along...
" yea...am worried about him. I don't know why but my heart skips every time I think about him. It's obvious I had a crush on him....but last night I was scared to death to even think about my feelings for him." I smile. " I have only taken orders from him. It's not like I knew him or something but still when a person discovers 'what I have discovered about Xander' that about their crush, they will probably flip out and stay away."
"So.... unlike other people what do you plan on doing?" She asks
I look at her with a sad smile.
" every time he looks at me with his eyes when I take orders just tells me he is more than a killer. Who knows who Lora is....she might be his mother, sister, best friend or lover. If my mom was killed I will probably do the same and take revenge...I don't wanna even think about what I would do....cause losing her to me will make my whole life ruined. So what am saying is, of course he might kill 83 men and I know that's more than overrated but still I can't judge him..." I say with a smile creeping on my face. Just thinking about him gives me goosebumps all over my body....
I looked down the road we are walking
" look at you defending him all over....wow am impressed ." She said with amazement in her eyes.
" but I care about you Monica, take care of yourself and don't get involved with dangerous guys like him. Who knows what he could do to you?"

I know he won't hurt me. Don't ask me how reader....I just know he won't. He is too good for that. But I can't say this to Lisa.
" I will take care lis. Don't worry." I said giving her a reassuring face.
We went into the building and into our class.
I took out my notes and start following what the lecture is about.
Mr. Henderson is a great professor. One of the bests in the campus. He is flexible and has a great way of connecting with his students. I am more than honored to be in his class.

After three hours of lecture... "class dismissed. Don't forget about your assignments about the human brain. I don't care where the source is from...but I need a great presentation about it. It's gonna have a full percent marks on this semester. So I hope everyone gets devoted to it and present me something good." He adds before we got out.
Students start to groan on their way out.
I was a little excited about it....am not a nerd but still I get good grades and also enjoy my assignments as well as studying.

" what do u have in mind about the project work?" I ask Lisa as we pack our bags.
" I will probably contact some of the hospitals and interview some nurses as well as doctors. That's what I was thinking but we still got time so am gonna sleep on it." She says shrugging as we got out.
" well I have no idea what am gonna do but I have a feeling am gonna have a great presentation about it. But now I have to go to the studio. I have practice in 15 minuets." I say as I have her a hug and went to catch the bus.
Have I mentioned I dance? Well I do.... am not a pro but still I just do it sometimes to let my mind of things. It's also a great exercise to keep yourself fit in an enjoyable way.

I wore a white top and navy tights to move my body in a more flexible way.

As I danced all I could see was Xander... my thoughts were all about him giving me butterflies over my stomach.
I started swirling around and made a few jumps as well as practiced my new move called Grand Jete leap.
If you haven't noticed by now....am a ballet dancer.
So cliche right? Well I like it. And I don't have those kind of clinched and damaged toes...I actually have a very nice one.
................
After practice I took a shower and started to head home. I only had one class today so I had almost 5 hours till mom comes.

I looked into my bag to find my phone as I spotted the black journal of Xander's.
That's when I had the most craziest idea ever. I remember reading his address in the front page of the journal so I decided to go there and hand him the book myself. Isn't that crazy?...... I know you must be thinking is she stupid to go to a murderer's house.... but I will tell you that I like this man and I have this weird feelings hat he won't hurt me so yea....am doing it. Am going there and that's final.
