Change of Perspective

***Vincent's POV***
Her eyes stared up at me with wonder. Me and Aliana stayed close for what it seemed like minutes. Surprisingly enough no one had passed us. She was so beautiful and she had no idea of it. Her soft body pressed against my own, I wanted nothing more than to press my lips to hers. But I knew she would be harder to get to that point. She was strong willed like me. I am snapped out of my thoughts when I heard someone clear their throat rather loudly. I forced myself to look up, only to see Jessica and Zane.

'Working fast, bro.'He chuckled in my mind
'Not funny. I think she is mine.' I reply putting Aliana back on her feet. She moved a good distance from me. Too far for my taste.
'Really...Shit. How you gonna tell her?' He says eyes wide and full of worry.
'Not sure.' I say ending our conversation.

"So you wanna explain missy and mr.?" Jessica asks her hands on her thick hips. Only then did I see Zane staring at her admirably.
'Care to explain yourself, little brother?' I send to his mind.
He snaps out of it and stares at the ground.
"Well I was laughing ridiculously hard at a note Vincent wrote and couldn't stop laughing. Then all the sudden my body was like 'eff-you' and I was falling. But I didn't fall because of Vincent." Aliana explains quickly not even taking a breath.
Jessica cocks her head to side considering the story.
"Well, good enough for me." Zane speaks up leading Jessica away. Trying to take the heat off him.
'We will talk little brother.' I send to him.
'I know.' He responds.

Aliana and I followed them to the cafeteria. Tables were filled with kids and I saw my family instantly. Of course, they were fighting over food. Ronnie already had his groupies and he was fighting Tommy for a slice of pizza. The two girls were practically draped across him. That boy could attract them like no other. They were thin and evidently part of the goth scene. Aliana sighed at the sight and sat down at an empty seat. I sat in the one beside her. She already had her lunch sitting in front of her.

" Oh Jess, you are the best. All meat pizza with baked Lays and a pepsi. I love you!" She says practically shoving the pizza in her mouth.
I laugh at her slightly.
"Hey don't laugh at me. I'm hungry, dude." She responds to my laughter. I love her sass.
"Yeah, Vinnie. It takes a lot of work to look as sexy at she does!" Cassie perks up
Aliana almost chokes on the pizza. I gently pat her on the back to help her.
"Umm. I don't know about that but I most certainly need my brain and body to function correctly." Aliana laughs.
I lean over to her ear and couldn't help but whisper, "Yes, but both are very sexy."
I see her cheeks turn a bright shade of pink.

***Aliana's POV***

I could feel my cheeks heat up from his comment. I resorted to just shoving more food down my throat. This guy was making extremely hard for me to say no. I couldn't help but feel as drawn to him as he said he was to me. It was like everything was right with him beside me. I finish my pizza and start eating again with my chips. Everyone was talking about their classes and really just clicking with each other. Granted there was only two of us and five of them. I noticed that Zane showed particular interest in Jess. I watched them interact with each other. Everytime she spoke, he would look directly at her and give her a look so scorching it almost hurt to look at. But it was just so full of admiration and care, it made me smile.

"You have cool teeth." Ronnie says to me.
I cover my mouth quickly and say "They are crooked."
"Yeah but it makes it look like you have fangs." he replies with a grin.
"I guess." I shrug picking up my pizza plate and chip bag to throw away.

I walk away from the table and I can feel Vincent's eyes watching me. I get to the trash and get stopped by my most favorite person in the world. Jake. A jock who has on and off bothered me, my entire life. He was only a little bit taller than me but wasn't the most fit defensive line men on the team.

"Who's your boyfriend?" Jake asks indicating Vincent
"He's not my boyfriend, dirt bag. Even if he was, its not your business." I reply starting to walk away.
He grabs my hand and pulls me back to his chest. Well this is disgusting. He smelled of sweat and too much cologne.
"Let me go, douche bag!" I yell trying to fight my way out but he's too big and I can't.
"Oh come on! Ali, you know you want this." He chuckles
"No I do not!! Let me go, fucker!" I yell

Before I knew it a rather tan arm had encircled Jake's neck was choking him. Jake let me go, his hands going to his throat clawing at the arm that was holding him. I realized it was Vincent. His eyes kinda crazed but looked at me and he seemed to calm a bit.

"She said let go, you piece of shit. Next time you try to do that shit to my Aliana, I will hurt you." Vincent says so hateful it was scary. I noticed his accent only was stronger when he was mad. So shit came out like 'sheet'. Which was kinda funny to me. But my main concern was that he said 'my Aliana'.

"I don't like threats, asshole." Jake spat
"It is not a threat, it is a God damn guarantee." Vincent says with venom practically dripping from his voice. He let's Jake go. Jake coughs and sputters walking away from me and Vincent. All the way glaring at Vincent.

Vincent crossed the space between us and gently grabs my hands in his.
"Did he hurt you?" he asks his voice overwhelmingly full of worry.
"No. I just didn't wanna smell like a jock strap the rest of the day." I joke trying to lighten his mood.
He smiles at me.
"I am sorry. I didn't mean to scare you. I just saw him touching you and I-" he cuts off trying to find the words.
"You what?" I ask wanting to hear his thoughts.
"I felt compelled to go beat the living shit out of him for merely touching you. So when I saw him pull you to himself. I really wanted to crush his skull with my bare hands." He says never looking away from me or even blinking for that matter. He was dead serious.
"So I'm 'your Aliana', huh?" I ask smirking at him
"That my dearest is completely up to you." He says a smile creeping across his face.
"Well you need to at least take me out on a date before you start saying I'm yours." I quip back at him while I walk away. If he really wants me, come get some boy.

All the while, I felt his eyes watching me walk away.

***Vincent's POV***

Damn. What a woman. Her hips sway just the right way. I love it. She was teasing me and she knew exactly what she was doing.Ho già innamorato di lei. I was already lost to her. But I was fine with it. She wanted me to chase her, I will. I will play your game, Il mio dolce.
