Xander couldn't recover from what he had heard, he had a frown on his face that show how displeased he was. I moved closer to him and held his hand. "How about we both some fresh air" I said to him.He looked at me and nodded. We walked to the swimming pool area and sat there for a while not saying a single word to each other. I knew he had a lot say and pour out, I just need to be patient and wait till he was ready to talk, who knows he might end up speaking about the obvious rivalry between Elizabeth and Alicia and also the supposed relationship the four of them shared.I was so engrossed in my thought that I didn't notice Xander looking at me with a smile, what caught my attention was when he rubbed his hands on mine which were still interlocked."You look beautiful under the sun" he said, I could tell he was flirting with me and something in me wanted to play along, I mean what's the worst that could happen and considering we are just getting to know each ot

I rolled back and forth trying to feel the softness of the bed, it's been so long since I have felt this relaxed. I covered my with the duvet on my bed to share my eyes from the incoming sunlight that was creeping through the window.I was too lazy to get off from bed, infact all week I have been really lazy. Damon had been the one doing all the work, from bringing my early morning breakfast to my lunch and then guiding me down to eat dinner. He was overdoing it and I know. He was doing all this and more since the incident that happened on Friday which was partly my fault, I didn't get harmed but he got scolded and I guess he still feels guilty up to this point. I don't care how he was feeling as long as he was nice to me.I finally got out of the bed but lazily strolled to the balcony which was high up above the swimming pool area and you could see trees from up there, the mansion was indeed in a remote area with only the birds to accompany you.

Smack!  Xander held his face with his hands.  "All throughout last year I wondered why suddenly Damon who was to marry Alicia suddenly chose to marry that girl" Beatriz said, her eyes getting watered with her tears which she wiped away Immediately. "So Damon was covering for you all this time and what was the last thing about the child not being his, who else could it have been......" Beatriz paused to have a deep thinking.  Her eye brows furrowed at her sudden conclusion. "It is yours?" She said as if she was a little doubtful. "I had no idea Beth was planning to have a wedding, yes we loved each other but back then I didn't know, I admit that I did get the invitation but I never read it and that was the day I left" Xander admitted stepping back to rub his cheeks further ignoring her last question. "And the child? Tell me it's Damon's" Beatriz gripped Xander's hands in exasperation, her finger nails piercing deep into his skin.

Damon returned back with an angry look on his face, he forced open and into Beatriz room. Though their conversation were enclose you could definitely hear faint shouts forcing out of the room.At first I tried to understand Damon's sudden anger and was astonished by the truth. Apparently Rachel had left him, it was only twelve hours ago she was all clingy on her.It was a good thing I had ears of an antenna which could catch farther conversations quicker, this actually came in handy today and with Alicia and her friend gone there was no stopping this argument."How dare you meddle in my life!? She is the only woman who has been there for more than you have ever been as a mother" Damon started off, his actions were unknown to me but I could tell he was flaring up."Damon! Never speak to me like that because of a silly woman who's only purpose is to steal from you, I am your mother and I have your best interest as well" Beatriz's was a little calm but

Alicia laughed as she stared at my blank face. "Please don't get it wrong, you see Xander and I were having a conversation and he said he is in a relationship with someone in the house, since you two were being playful I assumed you two were like a thing and knowing him he isn't someone to be in a real relationship with anybody"I wondered why she was bothered about Xander current relationship status considering her fixed marriage with Damon."I am talking too much, aren't I?" She paused to ask."Not exactly" I lied, I was totally pissed at her inquisitiveness. "I am Priscilla...." I thought to introduce myself since she skipped that."Oh.... I am Alicia, I am sorry for asking you but are you?" She asked again.I thought it was just best to clear her on it, in as much as I wanted it to be true I was sure Xander didn't see me in that way. "I am the surrogate" I said which was a proper way to respond, that way she would get it that there can never be
