"You know, you don't have to be so on edge," Alessandro said standing up and throwing his empty tray away. I did the same and just followed. "It's hard not to," I mumbled in response. "Why is that?" Allessandro asked. "Because it's just embarrassing. I barely met you and I already..." I trailed off. I already had major feelings for him. "Every relationship starts with some kind of lust." Allessandro smiled. My face flushed at his comment. "N-Not true!!" I stated. "Name one relationship that doesn't start with lust." He chuckled at me. "Those who are desperate and can't live without a guy," I say and cross my arms. "Are you saying you're desperate?" Allessandro asked, raising a brow. "I am not!!" I defended. Wait... I just proved his point. "So you are lustful towards me?" Allessandro smirked. "Shut up!!" I turned in the opposite direction. I don't know which way I went, I just started to walk away. I can't believe he's talking about this so casually in public! "So you admit it!" Allessandro chuckled.
"No!!" I answered as Allessandro chased me. I sped up a little, trying to rid of this embarrassment. He sped up as well and I started running, I don't care if it's not appropriate or whatever to mess around in a store, I'm-....I'm caught. Alessandro's arms were around my waist and I was hoisted up into the air. My face just got bright red as I notice the comfort and warmth his arms give off. Allessandro laughed at me. My body was just in pure peace and pleasure from the fact that his arms were wrapped around me. What the hell is wrong with me!? I just stopped trying to run away, it's like I am under a spell... except that I like it. I didn't even realize I was placed back on the ground again until his arms went back to his sides. "I have that much of an effect on you huh?" Allessandro was smirking at me. "What do you mean?" I asked, turning around to face him. "Would you like me to show you?" He winked. I was confused. "You can think straight now..." Allessandro wrapped his arms back around me. "But you struggle to think when you're in my arms." He smiled.
That stupid mind reader. I grumble to myself, maybe he'll hear my thoughts. My body was once again screaming at me. I back away and shake my head to get rid of my thoughts and the blush on my cheeks. God, why do I have to go to cloud nine around him. "Come on, lunch break should be ending soon." He chuckled and back to work we went. The rest of the ride was silent. I couldn't believe he read me that easily. When we got back home I went to my desk and straight to work. It was mostly quiet throughout the rest of the day. Every once in awhile Allessandro would look at me and make embarrass me. Mostly because I'm caught staring. In my defense, I have nothing better to do. After work, I had gotten up and left. I wanted to be alone. I had so much to think about in so little time. Allessandro looked at me worriedly when I went straight to my room and shut the door. My mind was racing, I couldn't handle it. Plus there are bigger things to think about. I found another note on my dresser. I picked it up and read what it said.
I really am your friend.
I didn't mean for him to find out. But I wonder if he is going to hurt you like everyone else. He is a player after all. Don't get to attached, it might make a bad turn in the end. Don't believe me? Ask him about Carrie and Kim.
Just be careful.
I stare at this message. Carrie and Kim? I hear a knock on the door before the door opens. "Another note?" I hear Allessandro ask. "Forget about that. Are you okay?" He asked. Carrie and Kim... Who's Carrie and Kim? Allessandro walked up from behind me and began reading the message in my hand. Fear struck me as many possibilities came down on me. I'm scared... terrified now. Allessandro looked at me after reading the message. There are two ways this could go, heartbreak... or even more pain, and danger from whoever this is. They know too much. "Please tell me this isn't what I think it is," I mumbled. Allessandro sighed before nodding. "I was young and still learning. You have the right to know. I just hope you'll still give me a chance to prove to you that I've changed." Allessandro took a step back. To be honest, space kinda helped. I take a silent deep breath. "So I don't have to explain my reasoning of why people usually judge those who are financially wealthy?" I smiled.
To be honest I think it's just me that wants to give him that chance. I'm already too attached, it's one of the biggest problems I have. I get to attached to those I like to quickly. So sorry creepy person, you warned me too late. But I will be cautious. The question is, who do I have to be cautious towards? Allessandro nodded to my previous question. "I understood what you meant." He chuckled. "If you hurt me you'll never hear the end of it," I say and stick my tongue out. "Is that your way of saying you'll give me a chance?" Allessandro smirked. "Only because I like you." I huffed and turned my back on him and crossing my arms, a playful smile crossing my lips. "I feel honored." Allessandro chuckled. "I don't need any more stress so you better be a good boy," I smirked. I looked at him over my shoulder. Allessandro's body went stiff and his eyes went wide. I couldn't help it anymore. I started laughing. I loved the reaction I got from that. I started to crumble as I held my stomach. I fell to the floor, curling up in a ball. "Oh HaHa. Very funny." Allessandro narrowed his eyes at me. I nodded in response as I couldn't stop giggling. "Your gonna regret that," Allessandro mumbled. I laughed harder at the threat.
"No. You have to be a good boy." I wheezed out as my laughing clouded my hearing. I was picked up by strong arms and even the surprise I had couldn't stop the giggling, though it did tune it down a bit. I feel his lips on my cheek then trail down my neck and that's when the laughing stopped in my throat. Instead a bright blush went to my cheeks and I stiffened. I start to hear him laugh and I began giggling too. What can I say, his laugh was contagious. "The look on your face though." I giggled more. And before I could add anything else I felt his lips on mine. My eyes went wide and I stiffened for a second. Before I had much time to respond he pulled away. "I couldn't help myself." He smiled shyly at me. I went nervous, my palms began to sweat. "So... does that mean you like me back?" I asked. "Yes silly. I like you too." Allessandro smiled at me. "I'm not silly," I mumbled looking away as my blush grew. "Yes, you are. You stuck your tongue out at me just a few minutes ago." Allessandro chuckled. Okay I know I was a child but, who wasn't? I huffed in response. "The same tongue I want to taste," Allessandro smirked. Oh my god no! No no no no no. Noooo. My face grew brighter as Allessandro wrapped his arms around me. "Are you shy?" Allessandro teased. "M-Maybe," I answered and turned away from him.
"Is it your first?" He asked. I stayed silent. The answer can go either bad or good. If I say I have he could just use that an invitation. If I say I haven't... He could use it as a way for it to be my first. And on the good... well he could be disappointed and not, or he could be respectful and wait for when I'm ready for that. Either way, it'll pan out a 50-50. "Don't lie to me," Allessandro mumbled. "Umm....Kinda?" I asked myself. "Kinda?" He asked. "Well... It wasn't really a kiss... some crush I had got curious and..." I trailed off. "I see." He smirked. "So it would be your first." Allessandro turned me around and leaned towards me.
"I would love to be the first." His eyes lit up. "I-I..." My cheeks brightened, or maybe it was just more warm in the room. Either way, my cheeks were having a heat flash. "Fine... I'll wait. but can I at least have another kiss?" Allessandro asked, looking at my lips. I gulped. Huh... he asked for permission... I guess that's a small sign that he's changed. Not much, but a small one... I think. "Only if you take me on another date," I say smiling. Allessandro smiled before crashing his lips on mine. I stiffened for a second before actually responding this time and kissing him back. God his lips were so soft. "Ah-hem." I hear a deeper voice, making me jump and pull away. Allessandro looked to the intruder. This is so embarrassing..... Someone kill me... I silently plead as I just slowly hide behind Allessadnro's big frame. "You didn't have to interrupt! I was enjoying the show." I hear another voice complain. "Mother... what are you doing here?"
