Under the Surface

Chapter 9 | His view

Alex

I grew up in Miami Florida most of my life and have since then traveled around for football and trying to be the best quarterback I can be. My dad has always pushed me to do football and it used to not be my favorite but it's one of the things that makes me who I am today. I have one sister and two brothers and my whole life I've grown up in a military family causing us to move around a lot. I've always been pretty adaptable to new environments and doing football has always eased me in and I've made pretty good friends from it even in other places.

 My mother is no longer in the military and I've grown up in a happy family for the most part. There may be fights here and there, but what's a family without a disagreement. You know how it is with brothers, always fighting and wanting more and sometimes even fighting for the right girl for each of us and honestly, I love my brothers. But with my sister; I've always been overprotective with as I'd never want any guy to take advantage of her. As for that, I guess you can say that's just how I am. I'm not only a family man; but a 20 year old guy who always wants the best for his friends.

Also, I'm a gym rat. Yes I know that's corny I said rat; but it's true I am. I've had many girlfriends in my time but none of them have matched up to be the kind of girl I want in my life; I want something serious and real; not just a girl who wants to hit it and quit it. I like to see myself as a gentlemen. I want to date for a wife; not just for a partnership. I want to one day have children of my own and to a woman that I'd like them to be like.

For the last 5 years I've lived in Glendale Arizona; and honestly we've settled pretty greatly here; it feels like I finally have a home, not just meeting new people each year and losing them to the next. This is where I met Genevieve and may I say she is truly great; matter of fact she's my best friend. She's not only smart but super intelligent and she always knows how to turn a frown into a smile. She's somebody I can not only count on; but somebody I'll always desire to have in my life. Not only because she's a writer but how her uncanny presence may be and the things she surrounds her with.

This is a secret, but this is how I feel about her. I love her beautiful green eyes and the way she looks at me when we talk. Not only is she attentive but she always knows how or what to say. The core of her heart is loving an compassionate and she always tries her best to show up as much as she can. She's not only family oriented but rich within her soul and beautiful with her face. Pale skin, beautiful torso; and when I look at her I don't look for lust; but I look for love. She is beautiful with her pink lip tint and with her mascara that compliments her eyelashes and her pale skin throughout her body. I want to make a move but truthfully I don't know if she'd like me back.

She's funny yet serious and she has strong boundaries so she never misinterprets her emotions and makes them seem the way they are; I'd never want to cross her boundaries. She's perfect the way she is and honestly, I wouldn't change a thing. Anyways, lets move onto why I don't like relationships.

Relationships are messy and it's why I mostly tend to avoid them; when I get attached it feels like superglued and can not breathe. I'm used to getting the wrong partners as Guen always tells me. But I doubt that's a sign, could it be? I'm not sure. She almost always demands she meets my girlfriends, it's kind of cute actually. I love the fact she wants to protect me and I too protect her. If any one of my friends hit on her; I would probably fight him.
