"Who is this?"

There was a long pause , an awkward silence. Alexandria knew who it was and it was mortifying. She took a deep breath and headed outside the bedroom further down the hallway

"What do you want from me?"  She whispered while her voice trembled and her hands involuntary shook.

"I want you..."

"Where are you?..."

"I wouldn't worry about it, I need you to come further out the hallway..."

After Alexandria heard this, she tenses up and became slight anxious. Quickly, she moved near window space, purposefully. She knew that her location was known from the inside-out for she wouldn't have received a call if otherwise.

"You look so beautiful..."

"You sick fuck...What do you want from me?!"

Her voiced began to raise but Bruno interrupted her catching an odd drift.



"Alexandria, who's on the phone?"

"No one, Im just thinking right now...sorry if I woke you"

"Come here, come back to bed please...I need you right now" Bruno puts his head down and runs his fingers through the mess of curls bouncing in his head. Alexandria took advantage of this to make sure it was known that Bruno was there with her. It was also how she thought it would help. She knew, to him sex was not exactly a thought but also she knew that he wouldn't mind. It's another way she wanted to help him cope and...truthfully help herself cope too.

"Bruno I've been thinking lately, of you" She says at most seductively and his eyes light up taking the hint. He walks toward her "what do you mean?"

Alex said nothing just acted by kissing him and then reaching for his belt. "Alex..." he groaned pulling her away from him.

"Who was on the phone?"

"Just a friend..."

"Why so late?" He seemed bothered.

"He's just a friend Bruno...."

"He? Oh..." now he hid the jealousy and possibly anger, his tone changing to sarcasm.

"Bruno, please come here" Alex moped and Bruno stood over her small frame staring her dead in the eyes. "What you want?" He whispered making her flush a bit "you"

"Me? I'm right here"

"Bruno don't mess around with me"

"I'm not, I wanna take you right here" Bruno said and leaned down kissing her lips and slipped his hand on her lower back. She kissed him back wrapping her arms around his neck. Her fingers caressed through his curls as the kiss became more intense and passionate .

"Double shift, right now..." he says short-breathed. Alex looked at him with her eyes full of lust. She slowly turned around keeping eye contact with him. As soon as her back was facing him, she bent over resulting in him smirking. Bruno grabbed a fist full of her hair pulling her back against him. Alex moaned softly pressing her ass up against him.

"You're going to be the death of me, keep doing that" he groaned.



"Alex? Give me the phone" Bruno paced towards her.

"What, no...I..." my words began to tumble over each other, feeling the anxiety take over me. He snatched the phone away from her and held it up to his ear "stop fucking calling Alex, you understand?!"

"Bruno" I sigh once he hangs up the phone and turn away from him trying to avoid a possible argument rising.

"Alex. Come here please" agitation in his voice makes me cringe. "I don't want to argue right now, please not today" I groaned.

"Who was calling you?"

"Bruno! Are you even listening to me?" Now I was agitated and wanted to slap him across his damn face. There was an intense stare between us.

"I'm not arguing, it was just one question for you" Bruno tries to convince me but I'm not up for it, not by a long shot.

"Yeah that will eventually lead to an argument" I protest and brush by him slightly. He grabs my arm and follows behind me. "Alex I need you right now, please" he whispered. I stopped walking and took a deep breath. The feeling of guilt crept on me making me turn around and hold him tightly in my arms. "I know, I'm here..." I rub his back and kiss his cheek "I'll always be here for you, no matter where we stand"

"I don't want to argue, I just want to know who it was. If you're in danger or being harassed. I know it is..."

"Bruno.."

"Just tell me! I need to protect you. I can't afford to...." Bruno paused and grabbed both my hands in his. It was like another person was staring into my eyes. His eyes carried meaning, emotions "...to lose me..." I finish the sentence for him and instantly he began to break down into tears. I hold his face wiping his tears then embracing him into a tight hug "I'm staying right here, with you" I whisper kissing his cheek.
