I swear if Alex does not come within five minutes, I'm going to eat lunch alone. Lunch break was almost over and I still didn't know where the hell he went. I was waiting for him to return when Anne texted me.

"Hey Liz, can we go", Alex finally came after eternity. Wait what did he call me, Liz? I have heard that somewhere.
"Hey Liz come let's build a sandcastle."
"Sure Al, Let me bring my sea shells"
"Come soon"
Everything went blank after that. When I opened my eyes, I saw Alex's concerned face.
"Lisa, are you ok?"
I nodded.
"You must take rest. You are stressing yourself out."
"No Alex, I'm fine, See", I smiled weakly.
"No Lisa, I will drop you home", he said.
"Can't you understand, I don't want to go home", I shouted.
He looked a bit taken aback.
"I'm sorry", I mumbled.
"Lisa, look at my eyes."
I looked at his deep brown eyes.
"Lets go grab lunch, in the meanwhile you tell me what happened. Ok?"
I nodded.
Over lunch, I told him all about Dave and Anne. I don't know why but I could see fear in his eyes when I mentioned Dave's red eyes.
Finally he said," You are not staying in your home tonight"
"Excuse me??"
"You know what come to my house"
This is the most absurd idea I have ever heard.
"Seriously, can you hear yourself?"
"I'm damn sure. This Dave seems dangerous. And I don't want him to do anything to you."
"Oh come on...He is not gonna eat me. I can handle him"
"No. you are gonna stay in my place and that's final"
"You know what, I hate you", I smiled in relief. I don't have to see Dave. Yay!!!
"Yeah, I know", he grinned.
