Princess Protection Program

Chapter 10

I watched Indiana as she slept gently running my fingers through her hair I could see her eyes flutter open. She warmly smiled at me "good morning Dallas."

I placed a kiss gently on her nose "good morning princess." I mumbled.

She looked at me worried "what's wrong Dallas?" She asked.

I wrapped my arms around her waist keeping her in place "Indiana I also need to be honest with you about my past and how I got where I am."

Indiana pecked my lips "okay Dallas when you're ready."

I smiled at her giving her a longing kiss "when I was thirteen I fell into the wrong crowd. At first, it was little things like ditching school and acting out. Then they talk me into shoplifting and joy riding. They weren't just a group of boys they were a gang and the leader was ruthless."

Indiana looked at me shock asking "we're you in that gang?"

I looked down in disappointment "not at first I just hung with them turning down their offers for me to join. I knew my parents and sister were getting worried about me but one day one of the boys started dating my sister. The only way he would stay away from her is for me to join them. Do what they did and we made good money a lot more than I do now."

Indiana grabbed my forearm holding on tightly she asked "and what did you do for this gang?"

I took in a deep breath waiting for her to want to leave me "stealing from stores turned to robbing houses, then I went onto dealing and trading. From there the boys turned into pimps, I tried to stay away from it and have little dealings as possible. Then one day I don't know how I got into not only selling drugs but using..." I took a moment to breathe and look at her, Indiana had a blank look on her face not revealing anything. I then continued my story "...I started off with some joints and then went on to pills but never speed I would never stoop that low. One day I was in the right spot at the right time and my boss back then was chief. He was doing a drug bust and then he saw me. I turned state witness for a while and they all got sent to jail and that was it. For a long time, my family and I were safe but they found my family. They kidnapped my sister, they tortured her for a day and they beat on her. It was all my fault. If I hadn't had got involved in the gang my family would have never been brought into this."

Indiana cuddled her face into my chest letting my tears run over her smooth skin. She mumbled against my neck "you could have never have guessed what would have happened."

I brushed her hair behind her ears "there is more when I turned state evidence, my boss, took a special interest in me. He saw that I came from a good home with loving parents and wanted to help me to redeem myself. It took a while but I worked to get my record clean and I trained hard and I practised. One day boss came to me telling me that he got a new job offer and he wanted me to take a job he had lined up for me. He took me under his wing and gave me something to work towards I was only seventeen when I got offered the job."

Indiana sat up on her knees so she was now straddling me "he sounds like a good guy, when we get back to the palace I want to meet him, if that is okay?"

I nodded my head "I would love that princess but you got to know he would never approve of this friendship."

Indiana smiled at me "that is okay my father would never agree but my mother would love it. Before we left she commented on how good looking you are and she would be so jealous we kissed."

I laughed at her last comment "I doubt she would be a jealous princess but I am glad she was fond of me."

Indiana pecked my lips again "she's not the only one that is fond of you."

I smiled at her "I am fond of you too princess, quick question what is with all of these pecks?"

Indiana blushed a deep red "I'm sorry I didn't think you would mind too much."

I could see the tears in her eyes and I hated how vague my question came out "I meant why not a full pash princess?" I clarified.

She again blushed at my question "I didn't want to come off as too strong but I now see I am wrong."

I slightly laughed at what she said "do what you feel comfortable with."

Indiana took in my advice and decided to pull me into her arms cuddling like we had last night.
