Lisha woke up the next morning wrapped in his strong arms, releasing her self from her furry prison; she walked into the hall where she saw a large bag.

"Wonder what's inside" she saw walking over to it, opening the bag to her surprise it was full of clothes, girl clothes such as dresses, skirts, t-shirts even shoes, jewellery and other accessories.

"Do you like them?"

She turned to see xander standing behind her, for someone so big, he could be very quiet.

"You...you mean these are for me"

"Yeah that what I went to get last night"

"Wait you risk getting killed to get me clothes" she asked with him replying yes.

"Well with you not being able to go home, I thought that maybe you would like to stay here with me" he asked not being able to look her in the eye due to embarrassment. Lisha didn't know what to say or think.

"Umm ok I'll stay with you "she said not sure what else to say, but she could tell that he was pleased with her decision so she decided to change the subject

"Hey let me see your arm" she asked walking over to him as he was sat on the floor, she took of the bandage and to her surprise the wound had healed completely over night with no scaring at all

"Surprised?"He asked "don't worry about it, all I needed was a good night sleep" he said getting up, standing in front of her as he took her hand into his larger one "but don't think I will ever forget what you did last night and if you don't mind I would like to thank you"

"Really?" she asked "how?"

"Like this" he said scooping her up into his arms so that they could look at each other eye to eye, lisha had an idea of what he was going too do so she placed her hand on his dark lips

"No"

"No? Why not"

"Cause I've never done it before" she said hiding her face behind her hair

"You have never been kissed before" he said slightly amused at her confession as he came a bit closer to whisper" you don't have to be afraid" before he gently did the deed.

Lisha was more than surprised, she didn't expect her first kiss to be like this but at the same time she didn't find is awkward at all as she found herself melting into it, all she wanted was someone to just love her and for her to love them back and right she didn't care what form it came in as long as it was there.

Finally breaking the kiss he leaned back only to see her crying "hey what's wrong" he asked but his question caused her to cry harder, so he held her close as he gently licked her tears off her cheeks before nuzzling them .

"Why...why do you care soo much when there are tonnes of girls that are much prettier than me" she sobbed into his shoulder

"I care so much because from the first day I saw you, I thought you are the most beautiful girl I had ever seen"

"Yeah 2 days ago"

"Actually make that 2 years ago" that caught her by surprise

"Then why didn't you say anything"

"I was scared of you rejecting me because I'm not human" he said sitting down with her on his lap as she played with his hair.

"I didn't reject you now and since you have been such a nice host, not only would I stay but I would also like to get to know you a bit more, how does that sound" she asked but her answer was another kiss

"Sounds great"

Meanwhile in another side of the forest Caleb was giving his report to his master

"So my son's eye has been caught by this human" said a voice from the shadows

"Yes my lord, it seems like he is very fond of her and guards her jealously" the owl replied "but what confuses me is that out of all the human girls he could have chosen, he chose a dark skinned one"]

"I believe you're talking about an African American girl"

"Yes sire"

"Hmm...Interesting"

"Xander, where are you taking me"

"Wait and see" he replied with a smile as the walked down a dark hallway together till they reached a door "close your eyes and give me your hand"

Alisha followed his instruction and felt him lead her through the door

"OK open"

She opened her eyes and found her self in the most beautiful garden she had ever seen

"Well do you like it?" he asked standing beside her

"It's so beautiful" she managed to say

"Good because it's yours"

"Mine" she asked in disbelief

"Think of it as a simple gift" he said holding her close as they sat on the bench "from me to you"

She looked up at him and smiled "thank you xander, I don't know how to repay you"

"Just promise me you will never leave me" he asked

"I promise" she said hugging him which he gladly returned the favour, for the first time Alisha felt like someone truly cared for her and she would not have it any other way.
