I waited as Damien left for his date with the barbie. Today I have a date with my super hero aka Xander too.

He is gonna pick me up in few minutes.

Today when I told him I can meet early then he kinda forced me to take me to go on a 'date' with him.

I took a quick shower, blowed dried my hair and dressed up. I wore the red dress dad gifted me last year on my birthday. I think I grew up a little cause it was very tight but it fitted nonetheless. I did my makeup and put on the red lipstick.

Today is my day to feel beautiful.

I smiled at my reflection in the mirror. I do look gorgeous & sexy. Haha it's fine to self compliment yourself now and then. Don't even know why I'm spending so much time in getting ready and today I'm really nervous to meet Xander. What if he doesn't like this me?

Why am I even thinking this all, we are just friends.

To adjust with the dress, I wore high heels.

All set to go.

Here we go.

As always Xander was standing outside his car, holding the door opened for me. As I came to his view, he looked at me top to bottom, his mouth in awe stuck.

As I neared him, he complimented, making me go red, "The words are not enough to describe your prepossessing beauty, Princess." He took my hand in his blowing a kiss on it.

He was wearing a tuxedo, looking devilously handsome. I really love his mischievous beauty.

"Well you aren't looking bad either." I commented as I got in the car.

"That was a boring compliment, Princess. How about you rate my sexiness out of 10?" He winked at me as he started the engine.

"0." I stated. Ofc he is not 0 but it's fun with him.

"You're always hurting my ego, princess." He faked hurt his chest as if what I said gave him a heart attack.

..

As we sat inside the resturant, the waiter stood giving her flirtous look which made me sick in the stomach. Is this jealousy?

"I booked a table for two."

"I'll check right away, Mr Crawford." She said battling her fake eyelashes. Just then I noticed her boobs, they looked kinda shapeless. Is she stuffing them with socks. I'm sure the right one was bigger than the left.

"She was a nut flirt." I commented as she went away from us after guiding us to our table.

"Horrendous woman." He commented and I shake my head.

Soon we were served with our food, as I took the first bite of my pizza, I saw a glance of... of Melissa. Holy cow. They are here? I took a look around the resturant in search of Damien and he was sitting there on the table, going through his phone, looking bored as Melissa was fixing her makeup.

I turned around so I couldn't be seen by him. I need to get out of here before he sees me cause he'll make a big deal out of it and I know he will make sure that I don't see Xander ever again.

"Can we go home?" I asked, my voice in a panick.

"'Why? Are you ok?" He asked, concerned.

"Please,"

"We haven't even started eating, Princess." I feel so bad for ruining this.

I stood up, "Can you tell them to pack the food, we can even eat it in the car or let's go to yours?" I was panicking really bad.

"But Princess," I cut him off, "I need to go." I said, and marched towards the exist.

As I stepped out, I breathed in. Soon Xander followed me, his face showed me he wasn't content with what happened inside. He opened the gate as always for me but without uttering a word and got himself in, before speeding it away from there.

"I saw someone who I can't meet face to face there." I said.

Glancing over me, he said, "Ok." He is never this quiet so I believe he is really sad.

"I'm sorry." I apologized.

"I don't understand, Princess. You're 20 yet you have to sneak out of your house at midnight to meet me. I know it's something personal and I respect that but if there is something that's bothering your life, please share it with me." His eyes softened, as probably thinking I'm some poor girl being abused by someone. Well Damien is abusing me, mentally.

"It's not that." I muttered.

"Than what it is, Princess." He asked.

"It's complicated." I uttered.

"Well if I'll be of any help, I'll be glad to." He said, now stopping the car infront of another resturant. I can't waste his money twice on expensive food.

"Can we instead go to your home?" I asked.

"Who will cook than, Princess."

"How about we order pizza and chill with Netflix." I suggested.

"Sounds good." He smiled, now his mood all brighten up. He isn't a tough man to please. If it was Moody Damien, I would have had to make 20 cups of coffee, make him back the money wasted on the resturant before and bring back the precious time I wasted from him.

We made it to his home, he suggested we should watch the movie inside his room instead of the living room. The pizza arrive in 15 minutes while we prepared pop corns and more snacks for the movie time.

"How about we watch the marvel series from the very start?" I suggested.

"It amazes me and I'm glad how you aren't anything like those girls. The other girls I use to bring for a movie marathon always persuaded me to watch some romantic crap." He said.

"How many girls did you bring in this place?" I asked.

"Why? Jealous, princess?" I shook my head in a no. Ofc not.

We started with the iron man and also watched the incredible hulk. Xander was asleep already. He looked so sweet while sleeping like a small child who is vulnerable to the world.

"Wakey Wakey, boy." I said, shaking him a little.

"Huh?" He woke up and looked around.

"It's time you drop me home, Prince Charming." I said.

"Can't you stay the night?" He rubbed his eyes, very much sleepy. I shook my head.

Now he sat up and looked at me, "You wanna tell me about your stupid stepma?" He questioned.

Stepma?

So that's what he's thinking.

"No."

"Princess," he insisted.

"Another day please I'm getting late." I looked at the time and it was already 12. I think by now Damien must be home.

Just then the idea clicked my mind and I asked Xander, "Can I borrow one of your hoodies?"

"Why? Wanna take it so you can sniff my smell and sleep with it?" He winked at me, before getting up and walking to his closest.

"And can I also umm borrow.... the.... the tiniest piece of... boxers you have there." How embarrassing was it to say.

Giving me a smirk, he passed me a big blue hoodie that I'm sure will reach till my mid thigh or more and his tiniest boxers which I guess is gonna be loose.

I took them all blushing and thanked him before rushing to his toilet to change. I took off my makeup, all prepared now. But heels. Ugh.

I went out, Xander was sitting in the couch. I took a look at his foot, nope nah too big. I can fit 2 of my foots in his one shoe.

"Do you by any chance have girls shoes here?" I asked.

He turned around and his face turned into biggest smile as he saw me in his attire, his boxers wasn't even showing due to the baggy hoodie.

"You look stunning in my hoodie, princess." He said with a smile. "And about shoes, I'm not sure but I'll look for it." Soon he found me a pair of shoes, saying one of the woman he spent night with must have left them or could be his sister's.

They were a size bigger but I do not complain, I looked at the time it was already 12:30 by now. I chose to change my look cause if Damien sees me in that attire he won't believe in my crap story. I mean who dresses up to go buy female products and that too at midnight.

I grabbed Xander's hand, asking him to get up from the couch now and let's leave before Damien have my head for breakfast tomorrow.

"Wait, princess." Now he grabbed me, pulling me on to him on the couch.

Our faces were only a centimetre apart.

He was sniffing my hair as he murmured, "You're so beautiful, Princess." He stated.

"Please be mine." He whispered.

He looked at my eyes, and there I saw all honesty, his eyes was kinda pleading me to say yes for this relationship. "I'll have to think about it, Xander, please."

"Of course, Princess. I won't force you for anything." He stated now leaving my hand and getting up.

I feel sorry and sad for him. I do want to give us a try but I'm not ready for a relationship now beside I can't really do what people in normal relationships do. I'm sure if I say yes, he would want to meet me more often and what If I can't sneak out when he wants me to. And most importantly I can't be in physical relationship at the moment and I know he has needs so I don't wanna deprive him of anything. I'm very complicated, he will be stuck with me. So no.
