The lone whistle

Alexander's POV (dun dun duh)
<><><><><><><><><><><><>

After she slammed the door that I'm assuming was not the door to our bedroom Michael came in looking at me expecting an answer. Kaylee wore the same expression as my brother did.

Fun.

"What the hell happened" Kaylee demanded. Her Ariana and hailey are the only girls allowed to speak to me like that. Kaylee is my brothers princess, Arianas my princess , and Hailey is Hailey and her annoying ass is my sister and I love her.

"I told her she couldn't come to HQ and train" I replied.

"And why did you do that." Kaylee once again demanded asking for a reason. And obviously furious.

"If anything happens to her I can't live with myself." I say looking at my brother. He knows why I am the way I am. He's similar but he lets people in way easier then I do.

"Oh boohoo go cry me a river and go apologize to Ari." She says which pissed me off but before I could say anything Michael cut me off.

"Kails I'll explain later but calm down and please don't start anything with my brother" he tells her softly.

"Fine" she huffs pouting and walking away after muttering a low and annoyed sorry.

As she walks away Michael takes a seat at the table.

"Bro I know you know she can protect herself. What's going on because I know you wouldn't tell her unless you were scared. What's up."

"I... I... she decided to give me a chance and I don't want her to think any differently of me." I tell him. It's not that I want the pity or for anyone to feel bad for me it's just she just started to give me a chance but I don't want to screw this up. But I think I just have.
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

It's been about an hour now since Ariana stormed off.
I've been giving her this time to calm down and also so I could think about what I want to say to her. I guess if I leave her alone any longer she'll think I don't care when truth is I really do.

As I walk up the stairs to the guest room Michael and Kaylee told me she was in I hear crying. That's when I realized that I really had fucked up.

I softly knock on the door. As I stand there waiting for something anything at all I hear shuffling and then the door clicked and opened.

"Are you ready to talk" she sniffed.

"Sweets I'm so sorry. Ariana what I told you last night is why I don't want you in HQ. I trust you to protect yourself if I can't and the other reason is I don't want you to see me different. I don't want you to be afraid of me. I...I'm much crueler then your used to Ariana" I tell her honestly.

She looks at me with he eyes. There so bloodshot from crying and there still watery.

"Please princess. I need you to talk to me, how can I fix this. I never meant to hurt you." I beg her.

She slowly walks closer to me and hugs me. I didn't know what to do for a few seconds until it registered. I then instantly hug her back.

"There he is. The man I gave a chance. My Alex." She said into my chest.

As we're just enjoying each other's company she speaks again.

"I may have forgiven you this time but I might not be so quick to forgive next time Alex." She tells me.

"Okay princess. I'll remember that. And what makes you think there'll be a next time" I question.

"Alex we're both really stubborn. There'll definitely be a next time. Plus do you not know yourself" she says while smiling and raising an eyebrow. In return I just smirk and roll my eyes playfully.

"Alex" she asks.

"Hmm" I reply.

"Never shut me out again. Promise." She asks hope filling her eyes.

"Princess I cant promise anything. I don't want to lie to you. Just...can you be there for me if I try to shut you out. When I shut people it's like I'm in a dark void and I have to pull myself out it's hard and I hate the kind of dark I'm in when I shut people out princess." I tell her.

"Okay..." she goes on her toes and I lean down a bit because of our height difference and she just kisses my nose. I knew the game she was playing. She was teasing me. That's a game she wouldn't get away with.

"Love, you know it's not nice to tease" I warn her.

"Who said I was nice." She says with a darker tone and kisses the corner of my lip teasing me even further. Before I could do anything she darts out of the room.

"Ariana what did I say. No teasing me. Come back here" I tell her with an amused tone.

"You'll have to catch me first." She yells.

She darts through the house and runs to Michael and Kaylees room. She knocks and she instantly let in. She hides behind Michael. Cheap move.

"What's going on here." He asks tiredly.

"The mean man was chasing me. When I did nothing" she says.

"Oh nothing at all. She teases me and she is giving cheap shots like hiding behind you Michael . Oh and if not now later princess" I smirk.

"M move outta the way. She deserves it for teasing. I wouldn't doubt it if he's saying she teased him." Kaylee laughs.

She squeaks and runs out of their room. She runs to ours which she didn't open in time. I open the door after picking her up and throw her on the bed and tickle her.

"Stop...Alex...can't...breathe..." she says in between giggles.

"Then apologize" I tell her while smirking

"I...I'm...s...sorry" she says while laughing.

We then get ready for bed and snuggle together just being content with being together. From the first time I saw her walking around my territory I knew she was my princess even if she's a pain sometimes.

Before she can fully go to sleep I tell her what's been bothering me all day.

"Princess" I tell her

"Mmm" she whines almost asleep but still coherent.

"My abuela is coming to visit in a few weeks and then my nona is going to visit after." I tell her

"You're Italian" she asks.

"Yes my mom was Latina and my father was Italian. Now hush and go to sleep we'll talk in the morning."

"I would but someone keeps talking" she sassily responds.

I wouldn't expect any less of her. I just chuckle and kiss her head before falling asleep.
