The Bad Boy Versus The Beast

Letting Him Go

Alex

    I watched as Dan moved inside Alessandria’s house after Evelyn had spoken to them. She is very f*****g dead that dumb slut. Evelyn, you got what’s coming to you. Russo will be the one to take her virginity, well not on my watch I have to make her into a w***e. My phone buzzed, it was my boss, and he doesn’t sound too happy.

“Why the f**k haven’t you delivered me the whores so I can auction them Alex, and what happened to the f*****g drugs I sent you did you sell them or did you snort them dumbass?” He retorts.

“Yes, I sold the drugs, and the whores I have they are in the vault ready to go.” I roll my eyes.

“You stupid boy, I should have never put you in charge.  If I don’t have those whores within my grasp, I will f*****g kill you if that is the last thing I do. Regarding the special girl, when will you bring her to us to play?”  

“She’ll be with you soon once I stretch her for you and your bosses sake send men over to escort the play toys in my basement so you can have your fun.” I sneer.

“Where is she?” His raspy Spaniard voice asked.

“Right across the street,” I answer, smirking through Alessandria’s window.

Daniel

Little does everybody know that my family is that we are an Italian mob family of three generations. The only thing I wish for is Alessandria won’t hit me when she finds out. I received word from my guards that Alex was watching Alessandria and me, lingering to carry out his progress. Debating if he should have his so-called “gang” kidnap Alessandria and make her a w***e. Over my dead f*****g body, it won’t happen until I am dead. That’s if the son of a b***h can kill me. I am the leader of the Italian mafia now and if he wants to test me... let him try because I’m eager to go head to head with Alex and be the first to lay a bullet between his eyes I should have done so long ago.

“What are you thinking of Dan?” A gentle voice asked.

“You’re up early Alessandria,” I remarked.

    Alessandria trudged downstairs in her midnight blue silk robe, black pajama shorts, and a white tank top. She put her slippers on and wiped her eyes; The amusement began when my eyes admired her breath-taking frame. Her cheeks flustered, damn she acknowledged I was checking her out.

“So are you continuing to keep eyeing me or are you going to get ready for school?” She taunted.

“It’s Monday so soon?” I rose.

“ Yes, idiot.” She chuckled.        

“ I’ll drive you.”  I grinned.

“ Okay, I did not tell you something.” Alessandria flushed.

“ What is it carino?” I asked.

“ I need your help with something, it’s the dance recital and I am preparing a solo and I could have a dance partner. Would you want to be my dance partner?” She asked beet red in the face.

“I will dance with you. It’d be an honor to Aless.”

“Thank you, thank you, thank you!”  She wrapped her arms around me.

“I’d do everything for you just know that amore,” I sighed.

I took no time to get ready for school, but her no wonder why she wakes up at 6:30 in the morning. Alessandria made us breakfast, went to shower, changed, applied her makeup and grabbed her breakfast on the move because she did her morning routines in less than 30 minutes.

“Ready?” I asked.

She smirked at me and nodded. As I reached out my hand out to her and, Alessandria slipped her palm into mine, and our hands fit like a puzzle piece I have been looking for my entire life.

Alessandria

     As dance class sped by, most of my classes were online and show up once every week. I have the whole dance room to myself, feeling the vibration of the music throughout the floor. Spinning and jumping and doing arabesques I crammed the negative energy I carried and tears pricked my eyes, Daniel came and was gazing at me from the doorway and held me close. 

“ He doesn’t deserve you, Alex abused you and, let’s not forget you never told the police in the matter of fact he never got what he wanted. You valued yourself no matter what he did to you.”

I peeked up at Dan and he winked. I blushed and shoved my head back into his sweater. His husky chuckles filled the room.

“ See you are getting better, huh?”

Wait what did he mean ‘He never got what he wanted.’ 

Daniel 

          On the drive back to Alessandria’s house to drop her off, it was silent just as the dead are. The terrified look on Alessandria face on the way back to her home and the only thing I want to do is keep away from that bastard.

“I can stay with you Alessandria if you’d want me to.” I offer.

“You’d do that for me?” She asked, leaving an astonished look on her face. Letting out a small chuckle and leaving her blushed, my hands' cup her face I get thrown into oblivion by her icy blue eyes that smile at the sky. I pray that she knows that I’d swim the entire ocean for her. The only issue standing in the way is the fact that she thinks I killed her parents. How do I explain that Alex the love of her life killed her parents? As night embraced the sky as the frozen breeze strolled alongside it, I could only think about was the look on her face when those memories of Alex conquered and, accomplished his attempt to belittle her. The mission he did just to claw his way into her life, feeding her one lie after another and she had the most utter complete faith in that piece of s**t. 

The bullshit phrase ‘ I am working late baby don’t stay up too long.’ I thought as I slammed my fists against the table. He snaked his way into her heart, just for her f*****g virginity that desperate asshole wanted a new f*****g toy to play with. Tough balls because it took years, and he grew more desperate and finally snapped when he took it out on “ the love of his life.” 

“Dan?” a soft voice said.

I snap back into reality and see her gazing up at me. She smiled and nodded her head like she knew what I was thinking. Alessandria grabbed my hand, dragged me across the floor and played Uptown Girl by Billy Joel, and made me dance with her as we finished dancing around the living room. 

“I haven’t checked my phone for the past couple of days.” She pauses. Alessandria goes upstairs to her room and disappears for a moment. Looking for something good on the television while I bundle myself on the couch while waiting for Alessandria, I know she will see that photo and it will destroy her but she deserves to know that her boyfriend isn’t innocent especially with the beating he gave her it’ll be over soon. I feel awful that she had to find out this way. Alessandria comes rushing down full of anger and sadness. 

“What’s wrong, sweetheart?” I ran up to her.

“He was with her at his house f*****g that sly low life b***h!” She shrieked.

“Evelyn confessed to you, Alessandria,” I said.

“I wanted everything she told me to be a lie. I was hoping all the bullshit she fed me the other day was a picture she was painting.” Alessandria slumped to the floor holding the phone tightly. Tears start rolling down her face My guilt was clawing at me to tell her I took the picture. My fear and question are, will she push me away? 

“I took the photo.” I blurted out. She looked at me with amusement as if she’s not surprised by what I just told her.

“You know I thought you confessing would make me mad, but it didn’t thank you for telling me and showing me he is a lying, cheating prick.” Alessandria hugs me and kisses me on the cheek. I blushed.

“What are you going to do?” I asked.

“I dump his ass.”
