I sat on a bench and chilled out. Am I whipped? Nah. What are they talking about? I think I’m getting my game back. She still made me feel different things but it’s time to get my game one. I like her. I just don’t want to involve her in my gangster life. What can I offer her? I’m practically poor. Sometimes we do get a lot of money but we don’t work hard to earn it. Do I still want be in the gang? They are my family but I don’t know anymore. I looked around and I saw Natasha coming towards me. I smiled instantly. She did that to me too.
“You came here earlier than me”, Natasha said.
“Yeah. I couldn’t wait to see you”, I said.
I saw the same blush come to her cheeks. She ignored my comment. We talked for a long time. She laid her head on my lap and watched people walk by. It surprised me but it doesn’t mean I don’t like it. I stared down at her. She was too distracted to notice that I was looking at her. I stared at her soft-looking rosy pink lips. I wanted to kiss her now. I can’t. I don’t want to ruin it. How would it be to kiss her, hold her, and never let her go? I desired it so much. She didn’t flirt with me or offer herself and I like that. She is everything I could hope for. I joined her in watching the world around us. The silence was comfortable. Before I knew it I found out she was sleeping. She looked peaceful and angelic. I didn’t want to wake her up but I have to. It was already afternoon. I gently shook her.
“Natasha wake up”, I whispered.
Her eyes opened. They seemed to look like a murky green color.
“Huh”, she said.
“You fell asleep”, I said.
“Oh”, she said.
She yawned. I think she realized what she did because I saw the pink blush on her cheeks again. She’s cute.
“Sorry about that”, she said.
“It’s no problem. You looked cute sleeping”, I said.
Her beautiful eyes widened and she looked flushed. It amused me in some way. I gave her the best smile I could.
“I have to go”, Natasha said.
“Ok. Can I walk you?” I said.
“Sure”, Natasha said.
I walked her to her house. I saw her get agitated.
“Adios”, she said.
“Adios”, I said.
When she came inside her house I left. I wonder what she’s hiding. I went to Antonio’s house. No one was inside. I shrugged it off and went to where the gang meets. I saw everyone training. Are they practicing for a fight? I walked to Jose and Antonio.
“What’s going on?” I said.
The atmosphere seemed tense.
“Alonzo and the gang he is in have been on our turf and made a mess in one of our places. We’re training because we’re going to attack them. We have to scare them off”, Antonio said.
“When are we going to attack?” I said.
“I’m going to tell someone to spread the word to that gang. We’ll just wait for them to come to us”, Antonio said.
I trained with Jose. That’s what we did all day. I was used to it so it was no big deal. We’re getting stronger. Weeks passed and the gang improved. Surprisingly I have been getting good grades. I flirted with Natasha when I could. Our friendship has become deeper. George and Sam still bother me to ask her out. Natasha is clueless to my feelings towards her. I decided to ask her out after the mess with Alonzo’s gang is over. I can’t take the torture of being with her without being able to kiss her.
The gang and I were just hanging out today. Jose and Antonio were arguing about the soccer game. That’s a funny sight to see. I heard a lot of footsteps.
“Do you guys hear that?” I said.
Guys appeared. Most of them looked like scum and they had scars all over. I saw Alonzo with them. They came. My gang stopped fooling around and got ready. Antonio got in front of us. I knew I would never want to be on Antonio’s bad side. A guy from the other gang did the same.
“We’re here”, he said.
“It was about time. We thought you chickened out”, Antonio said.
When those words came out of Antonio’s mouth, everyone started attacking. I grabbed a random guy from the other gang. I started punching him and kicking hi. I lost count for a while and hit them as hard as I could. It was brutal. I’m sure I broke people’s bones. A few guys got in some good punches. I might be good but not invincible. Soon we heard police sirens. Everyone started panicking and we scrambled out of the place. I started to run. Antonio’s house is my target. It was hard because I was bruised a bit and bleeding. I never gave up. I entered the house. I fell with a thud on the floor. Our gang won.
That’s the best thing that could happen. I breathed heavily. My heart was pumping blood so fast it could rip out of my chest. My lips were chapped and my throat was dry. I closed my eyes and let sleep come.
