Welcome To Alexandria

chapter 10

IRA'S POV 

   I'm not gonna lie, I was nervous for Andrie. I know she can fight if, I didn't think she could I sure as hell wouldn't have put my name on this, but I at least wanted her to have someone more her size to go up against. When she stood in front of big Z (Zain) she looked tiny, it was clear that coach wanted her to be intimidated and back out. Yeah I knew that wasn't going to happen she was to stubborn for any that. Andrie had her hands up in defense and kept switching her weight for on foot to the other waiting for  Zain to make the first move. When he she didn't she lowered her hands a little and Zain punch her hard in the face. At that point I didn't care what coach promised him, I glared at Zain about to go punch him in his face when a hand slapped me hard in my chest. I looked to my left and was Josh shaking his head.

    "MOVE!"  I said through clenched teeth, he shook his head at me again.

    "She knows what she's doing trust her." He said  jerking his chin toward the ring. Andrie was hopping on her toes giggling. She was f**king giggling as she bounced back up to Zain dodging his jabs at her. Josh leaned over to talk to me not taking his eyes off Andrie.

    "She put her guard down so he would hit her full force and she could see his strength. It's a risky move but effective, now she knows what she's up against. Plus Zain might have size but that makes him slow, she's probably gonna let him punch himself out then finish it close to the end."

    "And how do you know so much about how Alex fights. You guys trained one time yesterday and now you know everything about her?" I bit the inside of my bottom lip when I realised just how jealous that sounded out loud. I wasn't her boyfriend, she made that clear and it was kinda painful, Josh didn't help with his sound effects. She was still my bestfriend so maybe I didn't sound like a love sick puppy,... you know what no f**k that Andrie is mine and everyone knows that. Zane made a big deal about not wanting to get beat up because of that. I side eyed Josh, his shoulder were shaking as he bit his lips failing not to smile. 

    "Don't worry she's all yours my guy, but to answer your question I looked up some of her old fights. I knew there was no way she's that good and never had a real fight."

    When he said that I got a chill up my spine. Andrie would flip that f**k out if outsiders knew about her past. Hell she just told me MOST of the story last night and we share a bed at night. I looked back at the ring Andrie would jab Zane here and there but still let him come to her. I nudged Josh making him look at me so he could see I wasn't f**king around when I said this.

    "Look Josh I know you were just curious but whatever you looked up about Alex. Keep. It. To. Yourself. Don't go looking for anything else. She's super private and would literally kill you for looking in her life." I waited for his response and he smirked at me.

    "Yeah just like my other bestfriend." He mumbled. 

    "What the hell are you talking bout?" I asked he full on faced me smile big on his face.

     "When were going to tell me that girl you had a summer romance, with in the sixth grade was Alex." I stuck my tongue to the roof of my mouth and blew out a hard breathe. Josh was nosey as hell, first Andrie's secrets now mine. "I knew it! Wow man it all makes sense now. As soon as she got here you've been up under her. You've never been that far out there about any female." He smiled bigger and started watching Andrie again.

    "Yeah well Andrie isn't just some female, and you need to keep that sh!t to yourself too." I watching Andrie again, Zane was moving slower but she seemed fine breathing out with every punch they seemed to affect Zane more and more.

    "Thirty seconds" Coach shouted

    "It's Andrie not Alex now huh?" Josh asked sarcastically, I mentally slapped myself for using her pet name in front of him.

    "You know what?" I sighed

    "No but I know his brother how?" Josh rushed out.

    "Just shut the f**k up and watch Alex." 

    The guys started counting down from ten and I could feel my palms sweat. Zane lowered his hands like his arms were heavy and I could see the wheels turn in Andrie's head. If I blinked I would have missed it, she put her weight on her right foot using it to launch her forward as her right fist connected with Zane's jaw sending  his head to the side his mouth guard even fell out. He fell to the mat with a thud. Andrie looked at coach not even looking to see if Zane would get back up. Using her teeth to unwrap her gloves taking them off then spitting out her mouth piece. 

    "What was that about this not being a girls sport?" She panted as the guys went to check on Zane and I chocked on my spit.

    "I never said that." Coach said, he didn't yell but it was clear she was pressing his last nerve.

    "Okay what was that bout girls don't belong in your gym?" She was really pushing it the vein in Crane's forehead was throbbing.

    "STOP BEING AN A**HOLE OR YOU'RE OUT GOT IT!" He yelled at her but she smiled  big.

    "You're for real?" She asked and he nodded.

    "Unfortunately I'm a man of my word so yeah you can train." He walked to Zane yelling over his shoulder. "I've got him the rest of you get out and go home we're back at it Tuesday."

    As the guys crowed the door, Andrie rushed over to me throwing her arm around my neck and wrapping her legs around my waist. I gripped her thighs holding her in place as I laughed at her antics.

    "Thank you for believing in me even though you could have lost your name." She said into my neck causing goose bumps. I moved my lips to her ear to tell her how proud I was of her when I was interrupted.

    "Wow you would think I had nothing to do with all this." Josh snorted from behind Andrie, she realized we had an audience and shot outta my arms fast.

    "If I wasn't grateful I'd be beating your ass for putting me on the spot like that." Andrie said turning to Josh with a glare. She held it a few seconds before it turned into a smirk. "But I think I've kicked enough ass today so we're cool." She said walking up to him giving him a lose hug. Josh laid his arms on her shoulders.

    "That you did chica hambrienta I knew you could." Josh pecked her forehead making me scrunch up my face at him. When did they get this close? Andrie is big on personal space, close contact was our thing why did he feel comfortable enough to kiss her forehead? When did he give her a nickname, and why the f**k was it hungry girl what does that even mean. I know what it sounds like and hell yeah I'm jealous. He knows what she means to me.

    "Again who told you you're funny?" Andrie Said swatting at Josh making her way back to me. "God you're annoying sometimes." 

    I relaxed when she was by my side again, she looked up at me with a real smile making my world stop. Those god damn lips man, I wanted to kiss her so bad but I don't even know where we. Seeing is how she made sure that everyone knows we're just friends but then again we've been more than friends twice in less than twenty four hours. Maybe she just wants to enjoy us being us before letting outside people. At least that's what I hope. I just settled for putting my arm around her shoulders as we walked back to my car. I opened the door for her and she sent me a look saying she didn't approve but still settled herself in. Josh followed behind me walking around to my side.

    "Lets go get some food I promised Alex I'd take her to get something?" Josh asked shoving his hands in his pockets.

    "I was planning on taking An- Alex home and chill'en for the day." I told him and he just gave me a blank stare. 

    "Okay we can chill and I'll order some pizza." He offered 

    "Maybe later but I kinda just want some time with her." I said shrugging, Josh smirked at me.

    "Time huh?... ALONE time?" He said wiggling his eyebrows

    "Yeah dude whatever floats your boat, look you can come over later I just wanna chill with Alex. OKAY?" He was really starting to get on my nerves even if that's what I wanted why did he care?   

    "I've never been a c0ck block so yeah get your alone time." He laughed knocking on my window then waving to Alex. As he walked off to his car I joined Andrie in mine, when I got buckled in Andrie launched herself at me pressing her lips to mine. I tensed up a little bit but after I realized what was happening put my arms around her pulling her to me making her straddle my lap. She moaned when I licked her lips letting me taste her it was a bitter swear moment because she broke the kiss before I got to explore her mouth to much. 

    "I'm starting to think my car turns you on." I smirked at her, and she giggled Andrie f**king giggled. Then her personality shined through as she punched my shoulder.

    "I wanted to do that earlier but people were around." She smiling at me, god this woman is so beautiful. Even in a t-shirt and shorts she made my head spin. 

    "Are you worried people are see that you like for me as much as I do you?" I asked immediately regretting it, she looked hurt that I would even say that.

    "No that's not it at all... wait you like me?" She asked. I didn't want to talk about this here but I knew if I didn't talk about this with her now she'd over think it and shut me out.

    "Yeah Andrie I think I more than like you but I don't wanna push you into something that you're not ready for or didn't want." I know I'm putting myself out there but it was now or never.

    "I kinda wished you woulda pushed me." She said confusing me. "I've always thought you were attractive but I never wanna lose you, you're all I've got Ira. We've always been touchy but I thought it was just because of how close we are, but now that you've litteraly had your fingers inside me." She was looking at her hands like she was nervous, she could bring me to my knees with a smile but she was nervous. She met my eyes and I had to remind myself to breathe.

    "Now I can't deny I want you. more of you than I have. And I want you to take more of me. But more than anything I'm scared of losing you. You're all I've got Ira, I don't think I can risk it." 

    "What does that mean?" I was confused she says she feels the same as me but in the same sentence tells me maybe not.

    "You're my best friend Ira in every sense of the word. You see everything that's wrong with me and-"

    I interrupted her quickly.

    "There's nothing wrong with you." I said cupping her face with both hands. "You're perfect... I just wish you could see yourself through my eyes so you could really see it." Yeah I know it's corny but it made her smile.

    "That's what I'm talking about Ira, when I'm with you I don't feel so broken." She trailed off thinking about something. "Do you remember how we started sleeping in the same bed?"     

    "Yeah, maybe the middle of sophomore year, it was getting late and my mom called your aunt to come get you but after she could hear the slur in her voice she said you could just stay. We stayed in the living room at first watching movies till we fell asleep. I guess you woke me up I really don't remember how I think you were moving a lot but you were crying in your sleep. I didn't think you wanted anyone else to see that." I saw her flinch I guess she didn't know that part.

     "So I woke you up and took you to my bed I tried to sleep on the floor but you woke up again freaking out because it was dark and you didn't know where you where. So I turned my lamp on and laid with you till you fell asleep again ." I focused back on her face thinking about the memory 

    "And we've slept that way ever since I really didn't think that much about it why?" I ask wonder what point she was making.

    "See something so simple to you yet that meant the world to me Ira. That night I was dreaming about when my family was murdered. Before we were friends those dreams would wake me up and I wouldn't be able to go back to sleep. My mind would be on over drive just replaying that night over and over again. But when I sleep next to you it's like my brain shut off the nightmares still happen but I can manage to sleep again after. It's that and so much more, I just don't know if I'm willing to risk what we have now for what we could be. I'm not sure if finding out is worth the risk of losing you Ira."

    I could see the worry in her eyes but I needed her to know I wasn't going anywhere. I rubbed my thumbs across her cheeks before I spoke to her.

    "Andrie not even a hypoythical bad break up is going to keep me away, I'm sorry to tell you you're stuck with me, you being my lover." I wiggled my eyebrows at her and she punched my arm. 

    "Or being just my bestfriend you're mine regardless, as long as you want me there my place is by your side. I not going to leave you."

    I meant every word but I didn't realise how close to her lips I had gotten till they were less than an inch away from mine. My eyes flicked up to hers and she nodded at me as hard as it was I couldn't give in that easy not till I got a straight answer. 

    "Yes what Andrie?" I ask in a low tone her breathing was heavy, at least I have the same affect she has on me I thought.

    "Y-Yes... Please just kiss me already." She breathed out. I was playing with fire but when wasn't I when it came to Andrie. My hand went to the back of her neck pulling her roughly against me. I bit her lip making her moan so I could get my taste of her this time. And oh my f*cking god it's amazing, her hand was on my forearm that held her neck the other on my shoulder squeezing. I felt her start to rock on my lap and I knew I had to cut this short yet again. She gasped when I let her go from the kiss.

 "Why'd you stop?" She asked, I couldn't help but laugh.

    "Don't get me wrong I'd love to keep going but we're still in front of the school."

    "Oh." She said as she slipped off my lap back into her seat. Once she had her seatbelt on I started the car and pulled out to the road. Normally I would just leave things how we left them, wait for her to say something before talking about it. But how could I? I needed an answer the possibility for finally having her as completely mine was making my heart hammer in my chest. I grabbed her hand intertwining our fingers.

    "Would it be so bad for to try us, see how it goes." I ask hoping it wouldn't make her shut me out.

    "I guess not as long as we can go back to this if it doesn't work." She said making me smile big.

    "And hey we don't have to say anything to anyone but I have one request." I said unlacing our fingers to take off my gold chain that along with my rosery I wore at all times. "Wear this please, I know you don't see it but even with my death stares guys still look at you. I can't say I blame them but I don't wanna have to hit every guy that hits on you." 

    She smirked and put the chain over her head and laid it gently around her neck. Truth be told I already let most of the f*ck boys in our school know she was off limits, I even slammed a guy into the gym lockers for talking about what he could do to her. I couldn't exactly keep her from getting a boyfriend at the time but I'd be damned if I'd watch her be a toy for some dude. I didn't really say anything when I saw "nice guys" shoot their shot with her she'd never notice when guys would flirt with her but I sure as hell did.

….

We came home to a note on the counter from Issy saying that she and the twins went shopping and they'd call when they were on their way home. The house was quite so I assumed that Sandro was out somewhere he never really tells us where he goes. Andrie grabbed some clothes outta her bag and headed up stairs for a shower while I went to my bathroom for one. When I stepped out into my room she was already on my bed in and pair of shorts, an oversized T-shirt the sides were cut out showing her sports bra and tattoo on her ribs, I followed her legs down to her grey socks . My how can this woman look good in everything. Her curls were pulled into a damp messy bun on top of her head. She turned to look at me and quickly looked back at her show, I realized I was still wearing just a towel so I went to my dresser grabbing my boxers and sweat pants. As I headed back to my bathroom to change I remembered Andrie's little game this morning that made me have to take a cold shower. Well now that's she really mine two can play at the game.

    I left my bathroom door crack enough to were she could clearly see me as I changed. I made of show of it knowing she was watching or at least I hoped. I'd feel really dumb if I was slowly wiping my arms and chest with the towel just her to be totally into her show. After pulling on my boxers I smiled seeing out of the corner of my eye that she was looking while she bit her bottom lip.

    "Staring is rude Andrie." I said pulling up my sweat pants. Her went wide when she knew she had been caught.  "Although I don't think I mid to much since it's you."  I said sliding in bed next to her, I propped myself on the pillow and she paid her head on my chest, her hand traced my up and down my stomach.

     I was starting to drift off to sleep when I felt her hand going lower and lower. Her hand ended up in my boxers rubbing me. Her lip came up to my neck and started kissing me like last night. I moved my head so she could do her thing. My breathe caught in my throat and my d**k twitched on the where my neck and shoulder met. She went down lower and lower with her kisses, she pulled me outta my swear and I grabbed her hand.

    "Andrie just because we're together now I don't want you to think... I don't wanna push you." I said biting my lip. She licked her lips and moved my hand to my waist.

    "I'll let you know if you're pushing me too far." She said and before I could argue back she licked from my base to my head. 

    "F*CK" I breathed out as she took my head into her mouth sucking hard and she used her hand on my shaft. She worked her way down my shaft till I felt my head hit her throat and she gaged a little.

    "Easy Andrie, you can go slow I-" 

    "Ira I swear to god if you say you don't wanna hurt I'll leave you like this morning," She threated and that might have turned me on a little bit. When she went back to her task at hand I pulled her hair tie out her curls spilled on to my lap. She grunted like she was annoyed the vibration making me jump. I gathered her hair back into a ponytail wrapping it around my hand then lacing my finger in close at the scalp. I held her head in place as I jerked my hips up making her gag again then she moan telling me to keep going. start out slow and gentle loving the way her mouth felt on me. Pretty soon though I was ramming into her throat tilting her head back watching as her eyes watered. I pulled her head up and she let go with a pop.

    "You okay? I asked quickly as soon as she nodded yes I shoved myself back onto her mouth. After f*cking her face for a while my legs tensed and I knew I was gonna c*m. I tried to pull her face away but she didn't move instead moved faster and I couldn't help but c*m all in her mouth. My eyes widen when I realized she just swallowed, yeah I've heard of it before but I didn't know girls really did that. She climbed up me and slammed her mouth against mine. I didn't really care that I could taste myself I mean she had just swallowed most of it. I grabbed under her thigh and flipped us to where I was on top. I broke this kiss panting hard and looked her in the eye.

    "You okay or to wanna stop." I didn't know how far she wanted to go today but I wanted her to be okay with whatever we did every step of the way.

    "I told you I'd stop you if I didn't want to." 

    "Andrie I need to know if you're sure about this." I said and she nodded at me. "Words Andrie I need to hear you say it." 

     "Yes." She whispered so low I'm surprised I heard her. "We can keep going...please"

    Those were the words I needed to hear to start my descend down her body, she made me feel really good I wanted to do the same for her.
