Loving Alessandro

"ELISE!" Pen squeals at the doorway.

A guard stood by the opened door and slightly winced at our shared squeals. I run towards Pen and jump in her arms. She wraps her hand around my waist and I jump to wrap my legs aground her waist. We are the most dramatic people on planet earth.

Alessandro stands in the foyer taking in the whole interaction.

"who's that..?" Pen whispers in my ear.

I jump down and nod to Alessandro with an eye roll. "The... friend.

"Welcome, my name is Alessandro,"  Alessandro greets with his hand out.

Pen takes in his build with his signature suit on and nods in approval. "Penelope," She gives a small smile and shakes his hand. "So you're the one holding my best friend hostage?" She jokes.

If only she knew.

He raises his eyebrows but looks to me like I said something.

"Joking," She giggles. "So how do you know Elise?"

"Forget about greetings, let's get you unpacked!" I drag her hand towards the elevator.

"Just ask him, it's not that big of a deal!" Pen groaned while laying across the bed. We set her room up and she was itching to do something tonight after she slept the entire way here.

"I don't know, Alessandro's a... reserved guy. He wouldn't like the crowd." I sigh. I was stalling because how could I basically say 'We're trapped. There is no fun here.'

"So, he can drop us off." Pen shrugged.

"we-lemme just check real quick." I give my best smile. I make my way from the bed to where Alessandro's office must be.

I knocked and opened after we let out a noise. He hunched his body over the monitors and I could barely see his body behind stacks of paper. The printer was buzzing with documents printing and I could hear Alessandro's heavy typing.

"Hi," I greeted as I closed the door behind me. Killer sat in-front of his desk like the best guard dog in the world. He let out a yip and wagged his tail but didn't move from where he sat. He just looked mean and intimidating. Although his scary demeanor changed as he yipped more and wiggled his booty.

"Release, Assissino," Alessandro called out. At the word Killer came rushing towards me and circling around my feet.

"Is something the matter?" Alessandro scanned a paper.

"Everything is fine it's just, we have a guest," I started. "and guests like to explore." I  began to present my case.

"Spit it out." Alessandro huffed.

"Pen and I would like to go to the club. Preferably a younger fun one, no eighty year old bingo night."

"Elise, I can-"

"She'll suspect you if you don't let me go," I shrugged.

"I don't particularly care." He shrugged back.

"I haven't been out in I don't know how long! Alessandro I need to breathe and talk to people other than the paintings on the walls. Come on." I groaned.

He looked at me deadpan before tossing his head back. "One condition. I accompany you both and I will bring four body guards."

"Deal! Will they be hidden?"

".. Yes."

The bar flashed with strobe lights and people crowded the bar. "So, what are you and Ale- Ale what ever the face?" Pen slightly slurred out.

"um... it's complicated." I scratched my head. I couldn't lie to Pen but I also couldn't tell her the truth. "It's like, well." Think Elise! "An open relationship!"

Penelope shook her head and looked at me bewildered. "I didn't think you were into that!"

"I didn't either." I sipped my drink. It was sour but I pretended to like it.

"Wow, well that's neat." She nodded. Pen knows me well enough to know I don't change quickly into things but we haven't been talking for weeks so hopefully she'll buy it.

"Why doesn't he seem- open to other girls..?" Pen nods to Alessandro lightly watching a girl walk away. She laughs but her face is red and eyes wide with embarrassment.

"trust me," I sighed. "He's no stranger to the concept. Must've not been his type."

"Lookie I got a hottie right there." Pen point blanked pointed at a man who was staring at us. He was fairly attractive with a nice body so Pen winked at him and with her finger prodded him to come over.

He made his way through the crowd and came up to us. We took our drinks and met him halfway.

"Hi" Pen greeted.

"Hi." Guy greeted.

This is going just great.

"You look like a good dancer, are you?" Pen smirked. She was really good at this whole nonchalant thing.

As she left I downed my drink and made my way towards Alessandro.

"Easy tiger, you're scaring them away." I tapped on Alessandro's elbow. His stance wasn't very welcoming and his jaw was set straight with no room to talk.

He looked down at me and then back at the crowd. Looking around he loosened his stance and looked back down. "This wasn't my plan for tonight." He sighed.

"Maybe you should learn to go with the flow." I mocked waves with my hands. I giggled and he just look at me like I was stupid. "hey um, heads up, I told Penelope we are an open relationship." I nodded with a wink.

"Huh?" He leaned his head down so I could repeat it.

"I told Penelope we have an open relationship." I leaned up to tell him.

Still leaning down he turned his head towards my cheekbone and shook his head. "I'd never be in an open relationship. I don't like sharing." He scoffed.

"I know I just, well if you had a girl over I didn't want her to question it." I pulled his shoulder towards me to yell back. The music was really getting loud now.

"Did she believe it?" He asked.

"Hm, I think she thinks I'm joking." I shrugged and then let go of his shoulder. "I tried at least. Alright I'm going." I walked away.

"Just wait a minute-" He pulled me back. "When were you think of leaving." He let his arms wrap around my wrist and trail down towards my waist.

"Oh- I haven't really thought-" Mid sentence he looks to something behind me and I halt. Turning around a guy watches the two of us and looks away. He has a nice frame and light stubble I want to touch. "Ah let go ther-"

"So what time," He pushes and tries to center my body towards him.

"Alessandro are you trying to distract me from Mr. Stubble over there?" I laugh. "Come-on Alessandro we have an open relationship." I wink.

"I don't want any guys coming over," He sighs. "Besides I really want to leave."

"Just admit you're jealous Alessandro," The drinks make me feel brave. I trail my fingers up his chest and rest my hand on his shoulder. I bring his ear down with a tug and whisper in his ear, "why? Because I'd let him kiss me? And you don't have a chance?"

His grip around my waist tightens and he tucks his lips in. "I don't want to fucking kiss you."

"Mhm? Really, because two days ago you were practically begging me. Come on Alessandro I know you wa-"

"We are leaving now. I gave you the chance to decide but you're acting up." He scolds me like a child. "Get Penelope and tell her we are leaving."
