Chapter Eleven: Knife to the Throat

Alex's pov:

I haven't been able to go to Mateos since Anala moved in. She's all I ever think about anymore. Fuck me for getting attached.

I have never liked a girl like this. Sure I have been with other girls but I don't do relationships. I mean what am I supposed to say "Oh yeah sorry I have to go kill some people, I'll be home at 5 sweet pea?" Yeah, I don't fucking think so. They also just don't sound appealing. Like why be with just one girl when you could choose whoever, whenever?

I can't believe I got attached to the one girl that I made hate me. Of course, I can't blame her but I just wish it was all different.

I light a cigarette and try to forget but it's useless.

I was so close. She liked me then I had to fuck everything up. To be fair I didn't have a choice. It's my own damn fault for falling for her when my entire purpose was to get her to like me, not the other way around. I did this to myself and now I have to deal with her hating me.

All I can think about is her goddamn lips and her tongue. Holy shit the things I can imagine her doing with that tongue.

I shove the thought in the back of my head and put out the cigarette. I then get out of bed so that I can take Luca to school. I swear this kid is gonna be the death of me. He can't miss any more school or I am in deep shit and could possibly lose custody of him. He needs to be on his best fucking behavior or this is it for us.

When I get to Luca's room he's still asleep so I get a cup from the bathroom and fill it with water. I then pour it on his face and he wakes up instantly. He jolts up out of bed and yells. "WHAT THE FUCK ALEX?!" I laugh and that only makes him more angry. He bolts toward me and sends both of us to the ground. Jesus Christ, he really has gotten stronger.

"Sorry Lupo, it was just too tempting." I chuckle as I get up.

"Asshole," he says, shaking his head like a dog getting water all over his fur and getting up.

"We have to leave in 20 so start getting ready. And before you ask no you cannot skip. You are done skipping no matter what. You also need to be on your best behavior. No fights, you hear me?" I say pointing my finger at his chest but far away so I'm not actually touching him.

"Yes mom," he says, annoyed.

"I'm serious Luca, if you get in any more trouble I could lose custody and you I'll have to be fostered and neither of us wants that. We have worked too hard."

"Yeah I know, I know. I'll be on my best behavior," he says, rolling his eyes.

I pull a shirt on and go to the kitchen to make some coffee.

Luca walks in as I'm just sitting on my phone. "I have training after school. Can you take me?"

"Yeah, I'll join you. Where are you training?" I ask.

"Mateo's, I already asked and he said it's cool if I went."

Goddammit. She's there. I know I shouldn't go but I have to train especially since I need to get some anger out. I'm gonna have to see her eventually.

I must have zoned out because Luca gets my attention. "What's your problem?"

"Nothing, that's fine."

"Okay," Luca says, still confused but drops it.

~~~

I pick up Luca from school and see him walking out. His head is hanging low and his hands are in fists. He looks really fucking angry. This cannot be good.
