As Alexa opened the door to Mira's car, she was greeted with a look of concern.
"Hey, girl, what went on?" Mira asked, eyeing the totaled car behind them. "And are you okay?"
Lexi laughed, shaking her head. "I can take care of myself," she said, "but I just don't know who would want me gone."
Mira's expression turned thoughtful. "Maybe it was the Santos," she suggested. "That small-time gang always gave me the creeps, ever since you turned him down."
Lexi raised an eyebrow. "You think they'd resort to violence?"
Mira nodded. "I wouldn't put it past them. And speaking of putting it past people, I saw you and that mysterious dude at the club last time. You two were on fire!"
Lexi laughed. "We didn't really...you know."
Mira's eyes sparkled with amusement. "What's the hold up, girl?"
Lexi rolled her eyes. "My father called and stopped me mid-way."
Mira's expression turned serious. "You have to turn off your phone, girl. You know things can't happen with your phone on."
Lexi nodded, smiling. "Okay, I will next time now tell me about that mister dark and funny guy I saw you laughing quite a lot M."
Mira grinned. "Oh Nico not to make it sound like much but we were in perfect sink "
Alexa laughs " oh no stop with the information my head is about to blow " says in sarcasm
Mira laughs and says " yeah yeah okay be ready for the deets "
" Nico! He's amazing. We met at Obsession like you already know , and I was immediately drawn to him. He's got this charming smile and piercing eyes that just make you melt."
Lexi raised an eyebrow. "And what about his skills in bed?"
Mira laughed. "Girl, let me tell you, Nico knows what he's doing. He's got the magic touch, and he knows just how to use it."
Lexi grinned. "I'm glad you got laid and satisfied"
Mira nodded, smiling knowingly. "I am, Lex. I really am. And I think Nico might be a master in bed and you know mine is way high "
Lexi's eyes widened in surprise. "Really?"
Mira nodded. "Yes, really. I know it's only one fuck but ever since that stronzo left me I don't really do dates you know so I am gonna let loose and start up on the dating field"
Alexa smiles and says "that stronzo wasn't worth your time M and you know it."Lexi smiled, happy for her friend. "I'm happy for you, M."
Mira grinned. "Thanks, Lex. Now, let's get you home."
As Mira drove, Alexa couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. She knew that her life was about to change in ways she couldn't even imagine.
But for now, she just wanted to forget. Forget about the danger that lurked in every corner, forget about the disgusting reality that waited her if she didn't change her situation
She smiled, thinking about Mira and Nico. Maybe, just maybe, her friend had found someone to make her happy after Leo that stronzo
As they pulled up to Alexa's house, Mira turned to her with a serious expression. "Lexi, if you want to leave, you could tell me. We could work something out."
Alexa hugged her friend, feeling a surge of gratitude. "You know me, I can do it, no fuss. But if things get tough, I'll come to you."
Mira nodded, her expression serious. "Love you, Lex."
Alexa knew when mira called her Lex she was worried " don't stress M I will make it work out "
Alexa smiled, pulling back. "Love you too, M."
As Mira drove off, Alexa watched her go, feeling a sense of peace wash over her. She knew that she was strong, that she could face whatever challenges came her way.
She took a deep breath, feeling the cool night air fill her lungs. She knew that she had a long road ahead of her, but she was ready.
With a newfound sense of determination, Alexa turned and walked towards her house, ready to face whatever lay ahead. She knew that she would always have Mira's support, and that thought gave her the strength to keep going.
As she stepped inside her house, Alexa felt a sense of relief wash over her. She was safe, for now.
But she knew that she couldn't stay hidden forever. She had to face her enemies, and she had to fight back.
