Meet Alfie, he is my best friend. We have known each other since we we’re 8. There was something about him that drew you in, it was some kind of sorcery. I was always the quite kid on the side but I didn’t mind. I used to stand and watch as Alfie would stand among his friends who would be listening to his every breathe. He was always the centre of attention, but you could never hate him. One look of his big warm smile and you would give him anything he wanted.

The day we met was like a regular day at school, only Alfie didn’t seem himself. He wasn’t loud and smiling in fact he was rather sad. All of his other friends we're curious by his new state and asked what was wrong, he smiled telling them it was nothing but I knew something was wrong. His forced smile almost made me cry.

“What is wrong?” I asked.

He looked at me strangely, studying my face. I felt myself blush under his gaze.

“Who are you?” He replied

Stunned that he hadn’t even known my name. I felt so stupid, I could tell I was tiring a darker colour than before. I probably looked like a tomarto.

“For you information, I am Jason king” I almost shouted. “Now I will forgive your rude manners if you tell me what is wrong!”

“Why do you even care, you don’t know me” he shrugged.

Anger boiled up inside me, as if he hadn’t known I had been watching him since we started school.

“Well then I guess you are just being a stupid dummy” I said to Alfie

“No I am not, go away. Weirdo!” He shot back at me.

We yelled at one another until the teacher split us apart. Once we were being scolded by the teachers we both looked at each other and laughed, this was so stupid, we thought.

“Well then stupid head what is your name?” Alfie said.

“I already told you!” I replied fustrated.

“I’m sorry I forgot” he said pulling this ridiculous puppy dog face.

“It’s Jason. Jason king okay? So don’t forget it!” I declared pointing my finger at him like a king giving an order.

Since then Alfie and me became inseparable. Although it had dawned on me what was wrong with him and he finally admitted that his father passed away that day. Yet he still thanked me for making him laugh that day. I had never been so happy.

As we grew together our bong became stronger, my family adored him. I thought at times they preferred him over me, I mean I would understand. He was so special. All I ever wanted to do was make him smile and keep him happy. As the years went on we stayed In contact even when we went to different schools. Alfie was my number one best friend in the whole world and I would have done anything for him.

I think that he knew that and would use it to tease me but I never minded because as long as I was his friend I didn’t care about anything.

When we finally reached college we went drinking one night. I didn’t think anything of it, we would drink all the time at house parties. I got pretty drunk and so did Alfie. We ended up stumbling in to my parents house at 4 am. I was so happy that weekend they had gone away for a business trip. We giggled hysterically as we climbed up the stairs to my room. Finally reaching it we celebrated by yelling our names at one another.

“Jason you are crazy man, thank you for very thing!” Alfie said in his drunken state.

“Don’t you worry Alfie, we will always be close. So you have to promise?” I said holding out my pinky finger for him to take.

Alfie didn’t reply, his eyes lowered and there was suddenly a worried look on his face. He looked at me intensely. I felt myself flush and turn hot. I didn’t know if it was the alcohol but he looked so gorgeous in the moonlight. It seemed to glisyennhis bright blue eyes and make his blonde hair shine even brighter than usual. He was so gorgeous, I felt myself in awe of his beauty. Looking up to meet his eyes I was worried. He looked in pain.

“Alfie are you okay?” I say clutchibb his shirt.

“I’m sorry but I can’t hold it in anymore.” Alfie said to me.

Alfie then suddenly placed his soft hands against my face and pulled me into a passionate kiss. I blushed from his intensity. His hands trailed down my body and rested on my hip while the other hand held the back of my neck holding my face in front of his. The kiss was warm and I felt my body melting into his. I became putty in his hands.

“Alfie?” I said quietly.

“I’m sorry if you hate me Jason but I can’t lie to you anymore.” He said sadly.

“I love you” he said with all seriousness in his eyes. He looked completely sober.

Tears fell from my eyes by his sweet words. I felt powerless and my knees felt as if they were going to buckle. Alfie loves me. My heart melted at this thought. Relief washed over me in waves.

“Thank you, Alfie” I said tears still streaming down my face.

“I’m sorry. Please don’t cry, I’ll go if you want” Alfie said turning away from me.

I pulled him by his shirt embracing him in a tense kiss. I wrapped my hands round his large strong shoulders and pushed myself up so close that I could hear his heartbeat.

“You don’t hate me?” Alfie said curiously.

“ I would never hate you, I love you too. I always have. I used to think that I just wanted to be your friend, but when you would talk about girls I would always go insane with jealously and wanted to make you mine” I pleaded while the tears still dropped from my face.

“You idiot” Alfie said, hugging me tighter and stroking my black hair. “You made me wait this long!” He said laughing. “Please don’t cry” he said lifting my chin towards his face and pulling me in for another deep sexual kiss.

“What?” I said confused.

“You really are something special aren’t you” Alfie said to me causing me to blush perfusiviely.

He picked me up, bridal style and carried me to my bedroom. Pushing me softly against the sheets. Standing at the edge of my bed he unbuckled his trousers and pulled off his shirt. Showing his perfectly toned and pale skin in the light. He began to crawl over the bed to me topping when we reached my lips. He was much taller and more muscular than me, I felt so insecure next to him. I desperately look into his eyes to find an answer of what he is doing but I am greeted with a greedy smile.

He kissed me slowly getting faster and faster, he entered his tounge into my mouth and placed his hand up my shirt among my chest. Pulling away for air, he then ripped my shirt off me and began suckingy neck. A soft moan escaped my lips and I blushed at his greedy smile , he began to trace my body with his tounge going further down and sucking my nipples hard. Pinching one with one hand and biting the other, I felt pure ecstasy. He pushed his body on mine and I could feel his hardness pressed up against me.

He continued to travel down my body this time removing all my clothes. He rubs my tip and begins to suck on ig while grabbing my ***. I moan as he gets faster and then pushed two fingers inside me. Clenching the sheets I moan louder and louder. He pulls a condom out of his pocket and whispers in my ear

“I have waited so long for you, my love”

It sent goosebumps down my spine I was so nervous.

“Be gentle” I say blushing.

“I’ll try” he replied kissing me once again. “I will enter slowly”

As he enters I scream with the loan and pleasure. He begins to move his hips ever so slightly causing me to feel more and more of him. He was so big and hard I could hardly breath. As he ****** into me I would yell him name. He flipped me over now looking at my bright red face that I so desperately tried to cover with my hands.

“Don’t look away from me now, you are mine. I will never let another person have you”

I smiled at his sweet words and we continued until sunrise.

The morning after ......

I woke up with a indescribable pain in my back. Every time I moved it hurt. I rolled over to see the bed was empty. Did I dream it? No surely I can’t have, this pain is definitely real. I sit up panicked which hurt my back even more. Had he gone I wondered. Would I never see him again? With this thought tears rolled down my cheeks. Instant regret washed over me as I cried in my lonely bed. Surprising me, there was a knock at my door.

“Hello?” I said cautiously still with tears in my eyes and a lump in my throat.

It swung open and revealed Alfie!

His smile dropped when he saw my face.

“Baby what wrong?” He said rushing over to me in bed.

“I thought you left” I said sobbing in his hug while wincing at the pain.

“I’m sorry I just made breakfast for us” he said pointing to the two full English breakfast that was laid out in a tray for us both. I felt so stupid.

“I’m sorry” I said feeling embarrassed.

“Hey, listen” Alfie said intensely. “You are stuck with me now, there is no one else” he said smiling and kissing my forehead.

My heart fluttered everytime he spoke. We sat and watched movies for the rest of the Sunday evening staying cuddled in his arms felt like the safest place on earth. It began ordinary for us to be like this. In no time at all I became used to his touch and it felt unusual to not be around him.

I was completely and utterly infactuated with him and there was nothing I could do. That same day he had asked me out on a date. I was still sore but I couldn’t turn down his smile.

We got dressed and headed to the beach nearby, it was so peaceful there. The arcahdes were open but it was late so the kids had gone home and the adults were either drunk at the bars or packing their picnic things away and trying to organise their kids into their ugly box cars.

“Let’s never have kids” I say looking at the struggling mother surrounded by 2 kids who were throwing the sand at her.

“What?!” Alfie says.

“Well its not like we can have them anyway” I said jokingly.

“No we will. I want to be a daddy and I won’t you to be the mummy” he said smiling.

Blushing like an idiot. “How?”

“Well we can just adopt or have a surrogate mother. There are soo many ways now. Don’t be so narrow minded” he said banging my head.

“I don’t think I will be a good parent though” I said disappointed. “Plus if we do you can’t leave because I don’t want to end up like that mother” I said with all seriousness.

Alfie just laughed at me. “God I love you, but how many times am I going to have to repeat myself. This is it our whole future. You and me baby” he said loudly then turning to me and kissing sweetly and hugging me tightly.

We sat down to watch the sun set on the waves and watched the evening sky drift into darkness and exposing all the beautiful white stars. It was slightly chilly as the night moved on and I shuddered under the cool wind. Alfie took off his jacket and placed it around me.

“No you can’t” I protested

“Why not?” He said shocked.

“Because then you will be cold!”

“How about make me a deal, if I give you the jacket you sit on my lap” he smiled.

“Fine” I said climbing into his lap and being wrapped around in his arms.

“Jason?”

“Yeah? Alfie”

“Seriously, be mine.” He pleaded.

Seeing my opportunity I took it, I begun to tease him.

“Is that you asking me to be your boyfriend. Ohhhhhhh” I laughed, “am I that good in bed?” I laughed once again.

Thought when I looked up Alfie had a serious look on his face. I couldn’t stand it. I turned pinning him against the sand and kissed him, wrapping my legs around his waist and my around around his neck. He kissed me back and I felt his arms go around my body.

“Of course I will be, you dummy” I said after breaking from the kiss.

“God don’t scare me like that!” Alfie said sighing with relief. “My heart was about to jump out of my chest” he said clutching his chest.

“Why?” I said confused.

“Well I didn’t know if I was just an accident to you” he said shyly.

“No I told you I have wanted to see you smile ever since we have been friends. Please don’t forget that you know me even better than I know myself so don’t worry.” I said embracing him in a kiss again.

We chattered most the night and began the walk home dusting all the sand that had now become trapped in our trainers onto the pavement. I had wondered if he was going to go home, but I don’t want to ask incase he thinks I want him to go home.

“Let me drop you home” he says while holding my hand to the house.

“Okay” I said naturally.

Once we arrived outside my house I look at him, just before he turned around. I shout.

“Hey can you sleep with me tonight? Please” while looking up shyly.

“You mean it” he replied with a cheeky grin.

“Of course I do” I said while looking at the floor hoping he wouldn’t see my bright red cheeks.

He walked over to me slowly placing one of his hands on my hip and the other on my face. His hands were so soft, I could feel myself just wanting to be held by him. He lifted my head and pulled me into a long and in-depth kiss. I didn’t want to love but I could feel the eyes of the surrounding people. Alfie didn’t care. I was finally able to pull away from the kiss.

Embarrassed, I said “everyone is staring”

He just looked at me with his warm big smile and then whispered in my ear

“Well then everyone will know your mine”

His hot breath on my neck sent a tingle down my spine as I blushed harder from his words. I don’t know exactly how he always knew what to say to make me this way. All I knew was as the days passed I fell more and more in love with him. Interrupting my lovey doves thoughts he picked me up in his arms and we walked into my house.

I giggled as his lips tiggled my neck. He placed me softly on the ground and looked directly into my eyes, it was so intense I couldn’t look directly at him. But he pulled my face towards his and said

“Only look at me” and embraced me in a kiss.

I felt so warm all over. My heart was pounding so hard I thought it would come right out of my chest. His hands continued to move as we both slowly took our shoes off and walked further into the house. He pulled at my clothes and his hands begun to move more irratically. He pushed me down on the sofa with the same cheeky grin and sat next to me. Holding my face while still kissing me. I decided to sit on his lap, which from expression seemed to have shocked him. He put his hands round my waist and pulled me further onto of him. Wrapping my arms around his neck, I pulled away admiring my boyfriend and smiling like a kid on Christmas. I was so happy.

Suddenly, a loud bang came in the hallway startling both of us. Alarmed I looked towards Alfie. We glare at one another as if having a conversation with our eyes.

What do we do? I glared at with my eyes.

Just stay here. He glared back

He puts me on the side of the sofa, signalling for me to wait. I tugged on his hand and he gives me a reassuring Knod. He picks up the baseball bat that is hanging on my wall from my fathers famous collection of his favourite baseball player, Robert Sterning. He slowly crept out to the hallway, and disappeared from my view. My heart pounded from underneath my chest, is he alright? I thought. What if something happened? All yhroughtsbrushed through my mind as I clenched my fist and hope he was alright.

Suddenly the noise of the baseball bat dropped to the floor. My heart dropped. It seemed to echo in the corridor. I couldn’t hear anything. I stood up and before I even knew what I was doing I rushed up and around the corner.

I shouted “Alfie!” Before looking up and realising.

I looked up shaking to see that Alfie was hugging the person. For a moment I couldn’t understand it. Then he moved his hands and I could see the face of the person. A young black haired women, with dark brown eyes and a light tanned skin stood in the hallway. She gave me a warm smile and came over as she hugged me tightly.

“Mum! You almost gave me a heart attack!” I said breaking the silence.

“How did I know that Alfie would be here” she said laughing.

“Sorry Stacy but you know Jason here, I am his bestfriend after all” he said pulling me close to him. I don’t know why but that sort of stung slightly.

“Actually mum, I have something to tell you” both my mum and Alfie looked equally as intrigued, “Alfie isn’t my bestfriend. He’s my boyfriend” I said nervously.

“About time” she said hugging both me and Alfie.

“What” I said confused.

“Baby I have known for a while, Alfie is the one who organised my trip. It wasn’t for business” she said laughing.

Still confused I looked at Alfie, who was know blushing.

“Sorry J but I wanted to do it privately and I asked your mum if it was okay and she agreed so she went and yeah...” he nervously explained.

“Was there anyone who didn’t know?” I said sarcastically.

“Nope” Alfie said happily.

“You tricksters!” I said dumbfounded at how they had all managed to put this together without me even realising. “You are sneaky” I said to Alfie as he came over and hugged me from behind.

“Actually that does remind me, you guys are both invited to a BBQ around mine tonight. My parents want to celebrate” he said chuckling.

“They know as well!” I exclaimed.

“Well yeah, who did you think I called the morning after I had asked you out?” He questioned.

“I don’t know I just assumed it was a friend” I replied sincerely.

“You are just so cute!” Alfie said as he kissed my cheek. It sort of felt embarrassing in front of my mum.

“You guys get a room” she smiled, “you make me feel lonely” she said laughing.

“Don’t worry Missis S we will find you someone” Alfie said supportively.

“Well you guys get ready and I will take my case up”

My dad had passed when I was young so it was always just me and my mum. Didn’t mind she was amazing. We had always been really close to each other, and of course to Alfie she was basically his second mum. He always used to come up with stupid nicknames but finally decided to call mum missus S. she loved it, she said it made her feel young so I didn’t mind.

We started college that year and though we had separate lessons we would always find each other at lunch. He was amazing. We went on so many dates I had lost count, every moment I had spent with him by my side. I honestly couldn’t believe how unbelievably lucky I was to have him in my life. I felt my words were never enough so I would always try to show him in any way possible.

I was intoxicated by him, his touch even his scent. When he wasn’t near me I felt so lost. He was truly my other half. My mum had always said ‘oh to be young and crazy in love’ but he was different that just some stupid young love. He was everything, my obsession my desire.

Of course it wasn’t always merry and beautiful, at times the pain of others hurt us, especially me.

A few months after dating...

His name was Harry, he was a close friend of Alfie. They had a lot in common and they had the same lessons. Of course I thought nothing of it because I knew Alfie loved me so much. I was happy that Alfie had friends, but in all honesty he always had friends. He would never be lonely. That’s always what I had thought.

It was just a regular Wednesday and I had just finished my lesson. I went to go and meet Alfie outside his lesson when I turned into the corridor on the way and was approached by Harry.

“Hi Harry” I said sweetly.

“Shut up!” He said abruptly. “Listen you need to leave Alfie, now!”

His words cut me, I could feel my eyes stinging and wanting to cry. I held it back and bite my tounge.

“What?” I stammered.

“Break up with Alfie. I can make him so much happier than you can. You don’t deserve him” he said.

Now placing his arms around my head. I began to sweat, I had never been good at confrontation. I couldn’t even think straight. My heart was beating out of my chest, I could hear it in my throat. My hands were shaking. I was so scared and yet I was furious at his words. Finally i was able to speak.

“Get off of me!” I yelled. Catching the attention of others walking by. “Alfie is my boyfriend and I will not give up on him” I declared.

“You selfish bastard! I am better than you! I love him more than you. We are better together than you and him” he shouts at me punching the wall next to my head catching my ear slightly. He grabbed my collar and pulled me close to his face. “He will be mine” he grunted.

“Get the **** off me” I shout pushing him back.

“You little shit” he yelled punching my stomach. Clutching myself in pain I fell to the floor. “That will teach you! Bastard!” He said kicking me harder.

“Alfie. Help me!” I cried.

My body screamed all over and my vision became fuzzy. There was now a group of people who had formed around me and Harry. That’s when I heard his voice.

“Jason!” It screamed.

I felt myself falling into an unconscious state but could still hear everything. My body stung and ached everywhere. I managed to move my hand towards the voice that I know belong to Alfie and grab his arms. I let out a soft smile.

“Guess you really are my hero now” I said weakly.

Alfie’s eyes glossed over. But the anger was more pro dominant on his expression. He stood, everyone’s eyes on him or me. People had begun filming. I felt like such a disgrace.

“Who the **** did this!” He yelled.

Everyone froze in fear. Even myself, after all these years of knowing him I had never seen him so angry. Some people point to Harry who was now standing in shock. Harry was shaking more obviously now.

Alfie then said “You did this to him?”heartbroken by the betrayal of his new friend.

“It’s not what you think” Harry pleaded as he looked into Alfie’s menecing eyes. “It was Jason he was bad mouthing you, he kept saying all these horrid things and I couldn’t stand it so I hit him to the floor. It was all for you.” He begged.

Alfie looked over to me meeting me dead in the eyes and smiled. He picked Harry up by his collar throwing him against a wall. He punched his face and kept doing it.

“First you hit my love, then you lie to me” Alfie shouts. “If I ever see you again, I will kill you!”

With that he dropped Harry and let him fall to the floor. He came over to me and held me in his arms. He was so warm, I could feel his heart pounding. That must have been so hard for him. I felt so guilt I begun to cry not because of my pain but for what I had caused him.

“I am sorry Alfie” I cried.

“Why are you sorry?” He said moving my hair from my eyes and kissing my forehead.

He had carried me all the way to the medical room and placed me on the small bed and spoke to the medical staff in the college. He sat with me holding my hand as the women checked over my body. Removing my top she saw the love bites that where all over my chest. I felt myself burn a bright red colour. I sensed that she felt my embarrassment as she also blushed. Alfie sat there with his smuge look on his face.

“Well there will be some bruising on the ribs and the face but nothing is broken, just take it easy” she said to us.

As we left to go home, Alfie scooped me up in his hands and carried me out the office.

“I can walk you know” I said to him blushing.

“This is better” he replied. “ I love you J”

“How did you know he wasn’t lying?” I said suddenly.

“I could tell, by looking into your eyes. Your eyes have never lied to me. After all the years I have known you. I would have known straight away” he said smiling.

I blushed at his words. And cuddled up to his chest. He carried me to the car that had been called for me. He put me inside and kissed me goodbye.
