The Strong One

My names Alexandra Harrison however most people call me Alex, I’m 15 turning 16 in a week. Growing up my life was more complicated than a normal person, my mother is Sofia the founder of the gang Bloody Roses and my father who when married my mother ran the gang along side her, all my life I been trained however it has always been for my own protection but when my uncle who was the supposed to take over the Bloody Roses decided to start his own gang instead it meant that I am now the heir to the gang, which specifies a whole different training as well as trying to keep up with the work I’m given by my homeschooling teachers. Since I never went to school it meant that I never made any friends that way, and the gang members who had kids that were my age are s**t scared of me or just thought I was a b***h (which is true by the way). I have many role models and all of them have influenced me in some way, one thing I have learnt from them is that kindness doesn’t bring you success as people will abuse of your kindness and that’s why I only have one friend. Well best friend really, Diego Wells who is son to my fathers best friend, Diego is admired by all the girls who walk past him not only because he is so tall and well built but because of his eyes, he has different coloured eyes one blue and one green, I always loved his eyes ever since we were kids I would stare into his eyes, and his light brown near blond hair is so soft sorry moving on Diego was born prematurely so until he turned ten and I nine I was always taller than him I’m not quite sure how it happened but now I’m 5’4 and he’s 6’1. I have have dark brown hair like my mum, and slightly tanned skinned which is a mix of my dad and mum and blue eyes which I get from my dad, I am pretty skinny as I exercise a lot but not stick skinny because I love my food, food over everything else. Now let the story begin. I was sitting watching a movie with Diego which is something normal we have done always since we were kids, we would cuddle up together and watch hundreds of movies in a row. Our parents were working at the gang and while they did that we are supposed to be training me to step up as Boss and Diego as my second in command but like always when we aren’t being supervised we decided to sit back eat and watch some movies. As the movie ended I turned to look at Diego who I noticed was already looking at me. “What’s wrong?” I asked cluelessly. “Nothing.” Diego answered plainly. “I want to kiss you again.” Diego said making my eyes widen in shock. “Do you want me to kiss you Alex?” Diego asked me moving closer only inches away from my face. “Y-yes.” I stuttered. Soon his lips were on my for the second time in my life moving slowly, a thing you need to know about Diego and i is that months ago we confessed to each other our liking to one another however after one kiss we decided to try ignore our attraction to one another so we wouldn’t ruin our friendship. As we pulled apart to get some air I realised the position we where in, extremely close and with out legs completely tangled to one another and with that knowledge I started blushing. I have to say one thing I never act this was with anyone, anyone but Diego, he some how breaks down all my barriers, he breaks them down as if it was nothing, he does it without even noticing or trying. “We should get up before my parents get back.” I said quietly but since we were so close Diego could hear nicely, he nodded and soon we were up and off the sofa but his eyes stayed glued to mine, with his hands making their way around me bringing me closer.
