Andrew wasn't a virgin, but he hadn't been involved with many women in his life. That's why he was a little inexperienced.
"Of course, I want to. But where do we do that? In my house, it's not possible, and in the pizzeria even less." Andrew always spoke in an uncertain way.
Without vigour in his voice.
"Don't worry about it, let's go to my house." Alice, as always, was very quick to find solutions when the subjects were the ones that interested her.
"I think it might be. W-And when is this?"
"Today, of course. I want it now."
Andrew was astonished and looked at his friend inside his pants as if they were both trying to figure out what was going on. His friend was also scared, so much so that Andrew had a boner.
"But I'm not prepared. How am I supposed to do that?"
Alice didn't even wait for his answer and was already dragging him by the hand so they could leave that cinema.
They had gone to watch a movie with the movie theatre empty so they could talk.
Alice, as Andrew found out later, was used to using the VIP rooms, which provided a unique experience for a limited number of people.
When they left the cinema, they went to the nearest parking lot where Alice's jeep was.
Andrew was still tense because he hadn't shaved his pubic hair and hadn't worn clean underpants that day. He didn't want to have sex with Alice that way. And he didn't know what to do at that moment. He just got carried away. Alice took him home and after going into her room and leaving Andrew in the living room, she reappeared only in lingerie. And if with clothes Alice was hot, without clothes she was hotter.
Andrew thought it was a dream. It couldn't be true that he was in that woman's house and was getting ready to have sex with her.
Alice undressed him and after penetrating her, Andrew didn't think about anything else. It was a relaxing moment that took him out of his mind. He didn't have much time to think about what was going on. It was a few hours of pure pleasure and Alice's moans left him soft-eared for a long time. It would be impossible to get that out of memory.
Andrew had gotten dressed at the end of it all. And he was getting ready to go back to work. Even though he had already gone back to sleep at home, he was going to spend that night at the Pitzeria because it was more affordable than arriving home late.
"So this is the moment we started dating isn't it?" Andrew even though he didn't know what to answer said "Yes, ma'am," clutching tightly the coat he had brought with him.
He had gained two new safe havens. His job and a new girlfriend. Even if he was earning little at the pizzeria, he was already good for something. Since he was young, he wasn't used to taking money. His family was poor, and his mother never put money in his hand. Even if he worked for her. He had not had the opportunity to study as soon as he finished the first cycle. And his mother limited his ability to learn and become educated.
"Keep it up kid, I'll even let you have the leftovers for lunch. You'll like it." His boss screamed as he passed Andrew on his way out of the Pizzeria. He didn't spend much time there anymore. He only came to confirm the money in the register, took most of it to drink whiskey, and usually spit it in Andrew's face.
Andrew had never made it to the second floor because it was the only place he couldn't go. Even though it looked like a small floor, Viviani's noise disappeared after a while.
***
Alice's friends would laugh whenever they saw Andrew at Alice's house. They were recording Andrew for fun many times, and they were always making fun of him. He was always getting calls and texts from strange numbers who snubbed him as they tried to talk to him.
Andrew loved Alice very much and therefore ignored all that noise around her. It was a pure feeling he had never experienced with anyone else. He felt relaxed just being with her. Even work had become easier to bear.
As he walked through the streets of West Lincoln the strong wind froze his face. In a few days, it would snow. He was coming home to spend the night, and that area, in addition to being poor, had always been dangerous. Shootings were constant and that was where all kinds of rascals lived. He always had to walk as fast as he could to avoid getting caught.
The door of his house was old and some repairs could have been done. The varnish on the door was old and the handle wasn't even in place anymore. Andrew unlocked the door with his key.
He hadn't even set foot inside the house and heard his mother say "If you didn't bring money today it's going to be difficult for you to spend the night here." Andrew had turned pale in that very instant. He remembered how gigantic and hellish the battlefield was at home.
His mother had always despised him and since she had separated from his father, she had taken out her anger on him. Andrew was constantly being pushed over the cliff. He had nights, he cried because there was no food in the house and both his stepfather and his mother did nothing.
"Squeeze the belly kid, it's the best thing to do at these times." The stepfather played the role of the good cop, while his mother was always angry and played the role of the bad cop. Andrew was about to move out of the house, but he wasn't planning on how he was going to live from there. Maybe Viviani would let him stay at the pizzeria for a while. His boss was already used to seeing him there. Then he would look for another place to live.
Being at his house would be worse, he had already received the eviction notice. He knew that day would come but he didn't think it would be during that season of his life. He had never really been prepared for this.
Andrew was lying in his room looking at the ceiling, projecting the next day.(All I could think about is Alice. I want to know what she is doing at the moment. But I have no courage to text her at night. Tomorrow I have to wake up early to go to work. And I don't want to bother her too. She most likely is at a family dinner, or at a fancy restaurant with friends chatting.)Andrew's mother had kept part of the money he had managed to make that day. It was normal, but at least now he had a little money for himself.At least he was able to eat something nice now and start getting ready to leave his mother's house. His mother even was complaining about the food he was eating at her home."You are not worth the food you eat you brat."His mother never gave Andrew enough freedom to have friends outside the house. And Andrew wasn't used to trusting people. And that's why he hardly talked to people. And when he talked to a person, they usually treated him badly. That's why he liked Alice. So
The guests fell in shock at that answer."I don't want to marry Andrew, priest."The bride came out of that chantry full of roses. She put on the sandals that she had left outside the chantry."My good people. This nonsense ends here. The wedding is over and I'm leaving." Alice pretended to drop an invisible microphone. And while everyone watched, Alice took her best friend's hand and left the hall where she was supposed to marry Andrew."She left the groom at the altar alone.""He looks like a beggar. I still want to understand what he does on that altar.""Alice made the right choice. We're just wasting time here." One of the uncles was speaking in the midst of the people who were beginning to empty the wedding hall."I'm leaving. This marriage has been pretty good so far.""Michael, bring us lots of beers. Today I won't stop drinking until tomorrow." A cousin of Alice's was speaking, as if he had already forgotten why he was there.Andrew watched as the hall emptied as the priest p
"Calm down Boss, I can explain."**SLAP!**This time he got a slap in the face. Was well given that he made the counter shudder with the structure of the pizzeria.Paff!Andrew's body hit the floor like a sack of potatoes and he landed on his stomach so as not to hurt his face. He grabbed the right cheek which was sure to ignite within moments.["YOU THINK I NEED AN EXPLANATION?"]"After the opportunity I gave you, you still try to deceive me."Viviani was smoother after he landed that slap in Andrew's face.Andrew got up little by little and even though that was a sad and difficult scene to watch. Viviani smiled with his giant yellow teeth.Andrew remained silent and as he was hungry and weak, he couldn't even expend the energy to continue talking.Viviani came out from behind the counter and started up the stairs to the top floor.Andrew took the moment to go behind the counter to pack his things."That's it. Pack your things because I don't want to see you here anymore. You're fire
He had been on the street for a week and every time he woke up in the morning the decision was the same.(Eat or look for work? Even if I find work, I'll be hungry, but after ending my hunger, I don't know how I'll get food again. If I had a little money to at least get back on my feet, that would be good.)He was unshaven and his eyes were sunken and gaunt like the rest of him. His hair was greasy and messy because he hadn't showered in 3 days."Atchiuuu!!" Andrew sneezed because the cold was still strong even though it had stopped snowing 5 days ago.Sterling City was always bustling in the morning. The streets were full of dynamic people who moved from one place to another as if they were in danger of life or death. The escalators leaving the train station were full of people taking the steps without waiting for the stairs to do their job.(One day I was one of them. I had work and I was in a hurry to arrive before the entrance time.)He didn't go around Sterling Square because he
"Make a Wish? What is that?" Andrew was confused because the card had a phone number on it and it looked familiar. But he had forgotten how.(What was this fucking card with me doing? I don't remember what it's for, but I know that whoever answers this number will tell me something!)It was already dark. And it was difficult for Andrew to stop a person at night. They might think it was a robbery for sure. There was a stranger doing charity with some beggars near the subway."The soup is hot. Come and get it while you still have it." the boy who distributed the soups saw Andrew approaching him.The guy made a jerky move and Andrew backed away because he didn't want to get a random kick."Sorry mate. I just want a call.""What?! Get your soup and get out!" That boy was yelling at Andrew.Andrew was used to that kind of behaviour. He got out of that boy's eyes as fast as he could.He started looking for another chance to make the call. He didn't have the money to pay for a call and neede
"How is going?" Had to repeat the voice on the other end of the phone.This time it was a male voice a little stiff."Yes. I remember talking about my wish," Andrew wanted to know if that was true. Had he really become master of the world?"I want the world!" "I'll give you the quote that belongs to you. From now on, we'll put you where you belong. What do you want to do?" that man's voice invited him to tell the most intimate secrets he had about himself, but he felt that this man knew everything about himself."You know. I've been hungry since yesterday. I would like some food if possible.""All you have to do is buy it. Take that phone that you have in your hand and after you've bought everything you wanted, pay with this phone.""What? Nonsense. I'm going to buy anything I want with this phone? From what I can see, it's not even the most advanced. How do you expect me to buy anything with this?""Did you buy that phone?" The man's voice didn't sound irritated at all, he seemed to
The server picked Andrew's teeth as he finished the third course. Pasta with pesto sauce. Something he had never eaten before but tasted good just by eating it.The snacks were almost finished. Andrew couldn't eat anymore."Bring the Last Dish.""There's a very good dessert waiting for you, it's a speciality from a foreign chef that we only have in our restaurant, " the attendant who was now half a friend of Andrew asked them to bring him "The Grand Finale.".(But is that how you meet all the people who look like me?)Andrew looked at the last of those waiters who carried a transparent crystal glass, and was better dressed than he was."Here monsieur, your Apple Crumble and Vanilla Ice cream steamed gently and drifted in the local wind."Please, can you have them bring out the best thing they have so I can smoke it?""Of course, here is your wish is my command," the attendant who was there with him to entertain him left where he was and after going down the stairs, disappeared for a f
A silence settled in the place as the door closed by itself."Hi, I want some clothes. Could you get me something to wear?"The two female attendants exchanged glances."Hi, what do you want here?" Said that attendant who had run away from him.Andrew looked at her while she didn't approach and continued talking from afar."If you are far away, how will you understand?""Ah, yes. I let myself approach," after making an expression of who thought Andrew was disgusting, the attendant approached a few steps "POC! POC! POC!" she wore high heels that made a pleasurable sound when they hit the wooden floor."I want something to wear," I came because your clothes always caught my attention."Sir, even if you think so. This is not a store for you. You must have made a mistake""But I like your clothes. How am I wrong?""You must not have noticed. I said we have nothing for you here."Andrew swallowed hard. That woman was refusing to help him choose clothes for himself."Why? Did I do something
