Chapter 22: The Realization and The New Opertunity

Bianca spun around again and was tackled to the ground as Alex laid on top of her. She did her best to catch her breath. "Oh my god get off Alex" she yelled as she remembered his smile from the night before. “Are you fucking kidding me???” she asked as she circled the mat a few times in panic. Alex just stood there confused and panicked all at the same time. "What is going on B" Tyler asked as he ran to see what was going on. “Nothing Ty just give me a minute to collect myself..” she asked as she walked away.
Bianca walked to the window with her heart pounding and hands sweating she just couldn't understand it "Why in the hell would he have stayed once he knew it was me??" she asked herself in a whisper. A few minutes later Alex came up behind her and whispered, "Are you alright?" “Not really considering you were in my room with me last night and even after you knew it was me you stayed. Well now you know everything about my life and something I would have loved to keep hidden" she said cutting him off with anger as she turned around and punched him in the stomach. "Fuck damn you're really mad" Alex gasped out as he stood up holding his side. "Well for fuck, sake you're my best friend's dad and fuck now you know" she bit out again. “This is not my choice I don't want to be like my whore of a mother and yet I don't have a fucking choice. Your son wants me to be his girlfriend, even though I can't offer that" she said as she paced back-and-forth. "I guess now you have some idea that makes you think you'll have me again which if it were up to me.." she stopped and threw up her hands feeling more defeated than she ever had.
Alex didn't know what to say except "Bianca I do care for you and well my son does too isn't that why you're here so you can learn to protect, yourself ??" She didn't answer just walked back to the mat where Tyler was waiting patiently. "Let's finish this up so I can get out of here" Bianca said as she stood in front of Tyler. Bianca was trying to stay focused as much as she could as she still couldn't believe that Alex was with her last night. "The shitty part is I sort of enjoyed it" she admitted to herself. "Snap out of it, B you're supposed to be focusing" Tyler snapped. "SHIT…" she yelled out as he punched her in the face. "WHAT THE FUCK TY" Bianca screamed out as she fell to the mat. "Tyler what is going on out here?" Alex came running from his office. "Pops, I didn't mean to hit her that hard I was just trying to get her to focus and snap out of whatever was going on her head "Tyler spoke with horror in his voice.
Alex and Tyler helped Bianca to her feet and once standing noticed her nose was bleeding. "Head back" Alex said as he walked her towards his office. Once inside the office Bianca told Tyler to wait for her at the truck so she could speak to Alex. Tyler looked at her with crazy eyes "Um okay B again I'm sorry" and he kissed her cheek. "We'll talk when I get to the truck" she said as she closed the door and moved towards the chair. Alex helped her sit down and she asked for him to take a seat at his desk "Bianca what is this about?" he asked with questioning eyes. "Well to be honest with you I've got a lot of money given to me within the last few days and I need to hide it somewhere. I'm afraid if I try to run away without having any protection or place to go, so here's my question" she said as she drummed her fingers on the desk in front of her. "I need your help to learn to shoot to survive to learn everything on my own I need a place to stash my money and a safe place if I need to go somewhere when I decide to run. Since I haven't heard back from any of the colleges, I've applied to I'm assuming that Marco and my mother have hidden the letters" Bianca said as she slumped back in the chair. Alex just sat there and gazed at her forever "Say something Alex please" she said with tear in her eyes.
Bianca just sat at the desk with her head back and tissue in her nose, trying to think of her next move and how she was going to keep him from coming back to see her. “Once last thing Alex, you can’t see me again like you did last night please. I mean don’t get me wrong it was nice different even but it’s just not right” she whispered with fear. “I’m not sure I can promise that Bianca, you are the first person I’ve been with besides my wife of 18-years, and you already know from Tyler the only reason we married was because she got pregnant and that was the right thing to do at the time” he confessed as he came around the desk and sat on the edge. “What are you saying Alex that you aren’t going to stop coming to my house and having your way with me, any way you can have? I guess if that is how you want it than I have no choice. Like I said before I don’t have a choice at home, and I guess I don’t need one at all” she half yelled out.
Bianca rose from the chair and Alex grabbed her by her upper arms and brought her into him, “What the fuck do you think you are doing Alex?” Bianca asked through clenched teeth. “Man, like father like son I guess you both can’t get a fucking clue for being such smart men and all” she laughed. Alex just eyed her with a smile “Bianca you are such an amazing person and if I do come to see you again at least I can keep you safe for a while….” “Oh, geez between you and your son trying to be my night and shining armor I’m just fine and taking care of myself the best way I can without running away. Even if I did that Marco would hunt me down and kill me” she said with disgust. Alex just held her close to his chest and stroked her long beautiful hair. “You know Bianca if you ever need a place to go, we are here for you, and you can move in with us..” he whispered taking her in.
Bianca stood back and scowled at him “What so I can be your live in fuck doll for you and your son to use whenever you feel like it? Hell, no if I leave, I’m leaving and getting the hell away from this place, where everyone knows who knows who my mother is….and now knows I’m screwed at this point to turn out just like her…” she bitched out. She finally took a deep breath in and gave Alex a peck on the cheek and told him she needed to get going. No thanks to the time and if she didn’t get going Marco and Ana would come looking for her at some point. “So, Alex here is all the money I have received it’s $17,500” he gasped as she handed him the envelope. He shook violently at the spot, and just eyed it. “I just need you to keep it safe until I need it and if you need me to pay for classes and the gun I will I just need for you to keep it in your name or even better if you could get one that has no ties to us and file off the serial #s? I’m sure you can get some shit like that considering the things you do” she said as she turned her back and strolled to the door.
When Alex still did not say a word Bianca started again as he followed her towards the front door. “I’ll be in touch Alex and please keep this between us I can’t afford anyone finding out about this. I’m trying my best to keep my home life away from the real world right now for as long as I can. So please if you know someone who is looking to do something like this turn them to someone else. I don’t need any more people coming to find out what and who I am” she begged him. Bianca closed the door behind her without another word from Alex, she made it to the truck to where Tyler was now pacing around it. “B what the fuck is going on in there? What is all that with my pops and the secrets? We don’t keep secrets from one another” he said as he grabbed Bianca in his arms.
Bianca gasped as the air was quickly being sucked out of her “Ty I’m fine I just wish you and your father were not so touchy feely I mean I know you guys, care about me but I’m fine. I was just asking him for some extra help and for him to hold the money for me ya know? Just in-case I need to leave quickly and have nowhere to go. Ha-ha he even offered me to move in with ya’ll if things got too much at home” she said as she got into the truck and left Tyler standing at the bed of the truck staring at her. He sighed and finally got into the drivers, seat and took his time to leave the parking lot wanting to spend as much time with Bianca as possible. “Whatever you want you’ve got, and my father means what he says on most days…” he said as he held the wheel tighter.
