Jesús heard the sudden opening of the door behind him. He turned around, his heart skipped a beat and his eyes widened. 

     A beautiful figure had appeared before his eyes. It was Alexandra, the older of the two kids in the Locatelli family; her little brother's name being Marcello. 

     Alexandra's hair was black and almost curly, the result of hair styling, it touched her shoulders, swinging back and forth with the movement of her head. She had pretty dark looking eyes, and her smile was that of a doll's. 

     She closed the door behind her and announced, "That magical drying entrance is way better than my blow dryer! It is almost not fair." she said with a slight frown. 

     All of a sudden Scott stepped next to me and said, "She’s been swimming in the pool out there, she does that once in a while when she arrives." 

     Just then Kali spoke up, "Alexandra, I thought you were a witch, you can do that kind of stuff can't you?" 

     Alexandra smiled sweetly and said, "Well that's true, I just can't do that stuff when regular humans are close, you should know that Kali." 

     Then Kali answers, “Well screw those rules, I do whatever I want!" she said that with a joking tone. 

     At around that moment, Alexandra noticed Jesús, “I see our new team member has arrived.” She said that with a broad smile.

     She came forward toward Jesús with the intent of a hug, he, of course, realized that and stepped toward her. When they hugged, it was the most wonderful feeling in the world to Jesús, hugging someone who he was in love with, but he was also pained because she probably did not know he loved her, and he was not even sure if she loved him back. 

     When it came time to let go, Jesús did not want to, he wanted to hold her in his arms forever, but he had no choice in the matter. Alexandra was staring at him with her beautiful, dark brown eyes and a sweet smile that always captured his heart, like a fish being possessed into biting a fish hook with no apparent reason in mind.  

     At that moment, Nick and Casper both came up next to him. Nick asked both Alexandra and Jesús, “Have you guys met before?” 

     Scott, who was lingering by answered Nick, “Yes they have, now you best leave them alone, you too Casper.”

     Casper walked away with Nick with a fake frown on her face, which was amusing to Jesús. He turned and faced Alexandra again and asked her, “How have you been? How is the family?”

     She answered, “My family is good, and I am great!” 

    Jesús then asked, “Do your parents know of your magic abilities?” 

     She answered, “Yea they do, it is hard for them but they approve.” 

Jesús then said, “Well I am sure they will approve of me too, I apparently have magic powers also.” 

     She asked, “Have you tried them out yet?” 

    Jesús answered, “No, not yet, it’s kind of scary to me, all this magic stuff.” 

     Alexandra says, “Oh you will get used to it, I kind had the same problem.” She said with a smile.

    Jesús felt a tap on his right shoulder, it was Scott, "When you are ready, follow me to my office, so I can answer any of your questions."

     "ok," Jesús replied as he turned to look back at beautiful Alexandra.

     She gave a sweet smile at Jesús and said with amusement in her eyes, "You can go with Scott, I will go ahead and hang out with those silly people who call themselves a team."

     Jesús laughed as she was pointing to the round table with her right thumb.

     Alexandra crossed her arms as she gave one last smile to Jesús and walked on over to them.

     Jesús looked toward Scott to signal he was ready. Scott opened one of the doors to the left of the room and entered, Jesús followed.

     When Alexandra got close to the table, she looked back to see Jesús disappear into the office, closing the door behind him. She had observed this with longing, slightly biting her lower lip as she went through some special emotions.

     Alexandra looked back to the group, surprised that they were all staring at her with amazement and curiosity in their faces.

     "What?" She asked, confused.

     "You are in love with him aren't you." Kali said that as an observation, not a question.

     "What makes you think that?" Alexandra challenged.

     Sehrish giggled and said, "We all saw the way you looked at him."

     At this point, Nick and Casper were sitting at the table also, they both nodded their heads. So did everyone else.

     Embarrassed, Alexandra sat at the table without looking at any of them, in between Vincent and Dobby.

     They were all silent, surprisingly none of them were making jokes, to give her a hard time. She appreciated that because it gave her a chance to pull herself together.

     After a moment, she looked up and asked, observing all the cards on the table, "So, what game were you guys playing?"

     "Texas hold em'." Rob let her know.

     "Ok, cool game lets play!" She said gathering up excitement.

     And so they all played.
