Where He Belongs
Chapter 3
It had been nearly two months since he saw Gia Campbell and he couldn't stop thinking about her. .
He knew that he needed to do something about it. He walked into this boss's office. " I need to take some time off," Zander said.
His boss looked at him with a smile. "You are finally going to go and get the girl, aren't you?" Zander shake his head. "Of course not. I'm just taking a vacation."
"In New York City," his boss laughed.
"So can I take the time off or not," Zander asked. He knew that he was taking a big risk going to New York to see her, but he had to.
"Yes you can, Alex." Zander said, as he headed out of the office.

A few days later,
New York City
Gia was sitting in her office when there was a knock at the door. "Come in,"
Gia's ex- boyfriend walked into the office. "What are you doing?" she asked. He walked over to her and hugged her. "I love you, Gia. I want you back." He said, as he touched her face and leaned over and kissed her. She moved back. She couldn't get back together with him, not when the only person that she has been thinking about is Zander Smith.
"What's wrong, Gia?"
"Beside you breaking up with me by a phone call, "Gia said, with this anger in her voice.
"How many times do I need to tell you, I'm sorry for that? I was upset at you for spending so much time here at the office. I miss you, Gia." He said, as he put his arms around her. "I know that you miss me too."
The only person that I miss is the person that I will never see again, Gia thought to herself. "I can't just forget about everything that you said to me. You're not the man that I thought you were."
" I know we can be good again," he said. Suddenly her phone went off.
" Don't take it," he said. She picked up the phone. " I'm on my way, " she said, as she headed out of the office. She then stopped and turned around. " When I return I want you out of here. I never want to see your face again," she said, as she walked out of the lobby.
Jessica, one of the other lawyers was waiting for her. " Thanks for getting me out of my office."
Jessica smiled. " There is actually someone to see you. A man, he wouldn't say his name. He just said that he needed to see you." Gia nodded, as she headed towards the lobby and sitting in the lobby was Zander Smith.
"Alex," Gia responded, remembering to call him by his new name. He turned around and looked at her. It was really him, he was really here.
"Gia," Zander said, as he stood up and walked towards her. "Can I take you out for lunch?" he asked. Jessica, who had just appeared. "Gia is free for the afternoon."
Zander smiled at Gia. "How about you show me around New York then?" he asked. Gia nodded. " Let's get going then." Gia's ex- boyfriend was walking towards them.
"Who is this guy and why are you going with him?" Zander turned around and looked at the guy. "This guy must be the guy that hurt you."
Zander wanted more than anything to punch him in the face, but he was trying to win Gia's heart, he was pretty sure that that wasn't going to help him.
"You don't know anything about me. I'm guessing you are the man that I'm sure that she slept after I broke up with her, you know the slut that she is." Zander moved towards the man. "Don't you talk about her like that? I would run as far away because nobody talks about her like that."
Gia grabbed his hand. " Z…. A..lex, don't do something that you will regret. He is not worth it," she said. The man just sighed and walked away. Jessica smiled at Gia. " I don't know who this guy is, but I love him already. You better keep him," she said, as she walked away from them.
Gia stood there, staring at Zander. She couldn't believe that he was actually here. What are you doing here?" she asked.
"I'm here to tell you that I love you, Gia Smith. I haven't stopped thinking about you since that night in the bar.' She smiled at him slightly. "I haven't stopped thinking about you either, " she said, as she grabbed his hand. " Are you going to take me out for lunch or you are just going to just stand there?"
A few days later,
Zander was sitting in Gia's living room, watching a movie with her. When he moved closer to her and touched her face. She turned to him. "We are suppose to be watching the movie,'
"I think I can think of something better for us to do," he said, as he leaned over and kissed her. She touched his face as she stared at him as she started to take his shirt off.
She remembered the last time that they tried. "You are the only one that I'm thinking about. I'm not doing this because I'm hurt or sad. I want you and only you. Make love to me."
"I thought you would never ask," he said, as he grabbed a hold of her and they headed to the bedroom.
Many months later,
Gia and Zander went back and forward between New York City and his home. This weekend, it was her turn to be at his place.
Gia walked into the bar where Zander was working. "Are you nearly finished?" she asked. Zander's boss walked up to Gia. "You must be the wonderful woman that makes my best worker even better to work with. He is much happy now that he has you."
Gia blushed.
"I can see why Alex would want to be with a beautiful woman like you. This town always need a new lawyer, if you decided to move here.' Zander sighed as he looked at his boss. "I think my shift is over now, Gia," Zander said, as he grabbed his jacket and headed out of the bar.

Later that night,
Gia laid her head on his chest, while he was stroking her hair. She turned to him. "What happens next," she asked. He smiled at her. "Don't think about it right now." He said, as he leaned over and kissed her. Gia didn't know what was going to happen next, but for the first time in her life, she was just going to let it happen.
"So what did make you want to come and find me, and how did you find me?" she said, with a smile. He looked at her. "I couldn't stop thinking about you, I knew that I needed to find you and tell you how I love you. "
She wrapped her arms around him. "I never stop loving you, Zander. I think fell in love with you in Port Charles, but you were in love with someone else."
He leaned over and kissed her. "Shh, don't talk about her right now. She's not important anymore, it's just us. You are the one that is important to me. You are the only one that I love."

November 2007
"Alex," said a voice. He turned around and saw his boss standing in front of him. "What are you doing just sitting here? You just let your wife walk away. You go and find her and make it up to her.'
Zander nodded, as he walked out of the bar and yelled for her to stop. She turned around and walked back towards him.
"Gia,"
She turned around and headed back towards him. "Are you ready to come home with me?" she asked.
He stared at her. "I've been thinking about us and how we meet again. " She smiled at him. "I thought about that too.
He grabbed her hand. " You changed my life, but I realize something that you never got that wedding that I know you wanted." She wrapped her arms around him. " I have everything that I want. You and this baby on the way. I don't need a wedding."
He looked at her. "Your family doesn't even know that you have a husband. How are you going to explain to them that you are pregnant, but you won't tell them who the father is?"
"People are single parents all the time."
"But you aren't going to be single mom are you? You want me to be involved with this baby right?" he asked. She nodded. "Of course I do."
"Well then we know what I need to do. I need to do something that I never wanted to do. I need to go back to Port Charles and come back from the dead."
