THE LIFE OF ME

Chapter 2

'Armando!' catching my breath, 6'4 ft him leaning bring us closer and just whispers "how you doing" rolling my eyes at him as if he didn't just grab me and pull me into closed storage. "Move!" with that fake voice like my heart didn't just travel to my stomach, my insides literally exploded not as if I was in a fixed emotion between frustration and that weird butterfly feeling in my stomach. His body was pressed against mine and couldn't move back and neither could he, as he saw my discomfort he managed to go back a bit. Although I chose not to speak to him, he's too close to feel my heartbeat.

'What's up with you' I just stare at him confused, "mmm, nothing why?" looking down at my face, while I try to come with an answer I look up quickly and he catches my eyes, deeps into each other's gaze and his beautiful eyes sparkling. Well to be precise, I'm 5'8ft and he's 6'4ft. if I didn't feel his chest so close to me and his heartbeat on its way out. If he wasn't kneeling down then how was he going to hear my heartbeat go faster and I feel my body temperature turning warm? We're in 9th grade, known each other since primary what is happening. Armando puts his face aligned with my face, his lips inches away from mine and chest close enough for me to hear his heartbeat, while my heart is ready to pop out. Save me, just then he says, 'let's get out here.' Just sending me a wink and walks out.

Before we part ways, Armando pulls me into a hug and whispers into my ear, ' I missed you'. My heart was acting weird I never got that feeling from him. Was this just friendship or something more, idk my head is never in the right place when it comes to situations like this, but I think I should involve him with my best friend from my pre-school activity class. Although she's too good for him in every way possible. This is just from within, my jealousy as I sense that I and him together can't, it won't be real. it is just there because that's how he is, charming otherwise we don't connect in a romantic way.

We follow with friendship, but who I really want is not him he is just a friend as an acquaintance if speaking of the romantic field (hmmmm). 

it's not Alex either,  even though it is insane to not be in love with him but my god I am free-willed. Alex has always protected me from the start he makes me avoid talking to others specifically those who can harm me or that are not good for me. It's harder for me to protect my feelings with my guard being dropped by such good-looking guys. Alex is a tough one he always makes me feel like he's my watch guard. I don't have a problem with, I would literally be all over him like the other girls, they always try to get close to him. Well, he doesn't mind having some fun probably that's why we're friends and really close ones as a family.  

I was stepping out of my last class and Alex just started talking to the new girl in class. This thing about him everybody knows him but if you knew, he knows how to leave an impression.  it would be normal for me & Alex to be crazy like that, he dates any girl and I tell him how many he's been associated with till now. 

Although, he was the hottest guy in the whole school and my favorite, the part we have the same birthday, our parents intend to be close, our moms are very close friends oh and we're neighbors since we made it big we both have the wealthiest family around. So how did it all happen well my mum wasn't always rich, she became a workaholic. We were her family, me my brother and my father. We started as a middle-class family, it was like a tornado vanished our happiness, my dad and brother went fishing and the last thing I remember was seeing them in a casket. 

However, it was tough for her people to try to approach, my mother, for many reasons. It was the toughest time we both had to face, which is why the pain came out like that. I was indeed very naive, being a 12-year-old was difficult. My mum hired a nanny and left me with her, it was as if she was running away from attaching me to her because she's afraid of losing me just like dad and my brother. I wouldn't see her for days, she would work 18 hours a day, thinking turning rich meant me and my mum had more time together oh no there you're wrong we are literally not the tight-up mother-daughter duo. We were invited to many parties which we didn't attend, she was obviously too busy for me. 

Someone just stumbles me and sits next to me, while all I'm thinking about is my life. Armando was speaking about his trip and I just managed to get the last bit which was " yeah I totally agree, you won fair and square", " yeah look at least you know I'm right yeah." after, he offers to drop me home, because I still don't have my driving license and I wasn't allowed a driver so I'm not spoiled. 

Even If I told my mum to send her car to pick me up there was no driver available as they have been driving taking around all the guests to our new hotel opening my mum just built. Our new hotel chains, I wouldn't get into the details on this. I decide to isolate myself from thinking about anything and decide to distract myself by inviting Armando inside for dinner. Although, I told myself not to think about anything my curiosity grew and I wanted to ask him about today morning but I didn't. We hanged out and after he went home and I made ways to go to bed. I used to wait for my mum as a kid to tuck me in, now there's no point were just two individual human beings now. 

The next day,
