The Mafia's Son novel Chapter 13

Benjamin's POV

I watch as Osa passes without a word, climbing up the stairs.

"What did you do." James sighs and I glare at him.

"I didn't do anything. Go talk to your annoying sister."

"Mika?" He raises an eyebrow. "Let me guess, you held a gun up to her head again didn't you."

"She just can't keep her mouth closed."

"It's obvious she likes you, man." Tucker shrugs and I roll my eyes.

"Doesn't mean she has to go all psycho." Caramel whispers something to Qulo before following Osa and I plop down on the couch.

"Is something wrong?" My dad asks coming out of his office and I grunt.

"Mika cockblocked him," Jude says stupidly and I throw a pillow at Him.

"It's more serious than that, she was going to tell Osa about my mom, and I wasn't ready for that." Everyone goes quiet with understanding and my dad shakes his head.

"Maybe you should let go of that friendship... if you want to build a relationship with Osa. ."

"But... I'm really all Mika has. ."

James disowned her about three years ago because of her crazy behavior but I think she's gotten better since then.

"Dude, that woman is crazy okay? Just let her go." James says biting into a pear and I run a hand through my curls.

"Maybe I should just talk to her. . with Osa there."

"You are the dumbest person I have ever met." Qulo comments and that should say something. The dude rarely speaks.

"Alright. Right now I think you should just go talk to Osa. ."

"When we get back. We have a mission right now." Upon hearing this, everyone shoots up and goes to the weapon room.

"Ben... sometimes you have to let go. . to receive. I think, maybe its time to let go if Mika."

"Dad, she's been with me since everything."

"And now she's using everything against you."

"Let me just give her some time." I murmur and he sighs.

"Very well."

Osa's POV

"How am I to be sure that he doesn't shoot me if I say something wrong."

"Osa... he wouldn't do that." She shrugs.

"He did that to her! His best friend. I don't know if I can continue with this C."

"It's only the first date... we all have flaws Osa... you should know that. ." She states and Qulo calls out to her. "I've got to go... don't... don't reject him already Osa... he has a lot going on."

I was sitting by the window, willing the rain to fall at two-thirty a.m.

The dark clouds overshadowed the sky and everyone was gone. Caramel explained to me that they had missions... but that's all she said.

My door creaked open and I don't have to look to know who it is.

"Do you mind... helping me?" He murmurs awkwardly and I turn to find his face, well bleeding. I stand and walk towards the bathroom, switching the lights on. As soon as I got the first aid kit, he lifts me and I gasp, shocked as he places me on the kitchen counter, staring at me as I dabbed his wounds.

"You're mad at me." He murmurs and I sigh.

"I'm not mad," I mumble.

"Then why aren't you talking to me?" He almost whines and I bite my lip.

"What is there to say?"

"Did you enjoy the date?" He raises an eyebrow.

"Somewhat," I state truthfully.

"That fucking sucks."

"Language." I snap and he sighs.

"Will you let me take you on a second date?" He asks hopefully and I shrug.

"Are you going to pull out your gun again?" I ask looking him straight in the eye and his hands move up and down the side of my thighs.

"Only if necessary." He promises and I nod.

"Yes, I'll let you take me on a second date." He sighs a breath of relief before pressing his soft lips against mine, to make known a small peck.

"You smell good." He murmurs as he buries his face in my neck and I roll my eyes.

"Unlike you." I tease and he scoffs pulling away.

"Do you think running is easy?" He raises an eyebrow and I giggle.

"Go take a shower sweaty boy." He grumbles as I jump down.

He was at my door when he stopped.

"Can I sleep here again?" He asks and I smile softly to myself.

"Like I give a damn. Newsflash honey, if I tried over fifteen times to take mine and I failed, you can't do crap." I scowl and his eyes seem to soften before just getting back to their ugly reptile self. "Now let go of me."

"No, we have some unfinished business."

"Let. Me. Go before I knock your ass out this time." He laughs and I hate the sound of it.

"Frankie I really don't think you should do that. ." Tucker says once more but his grip tightens somewhat painfully.

I wince and was about to defend myself but...

"What the fuck is going on here?" Benjamin's roaring voice echoed throughout the room and he drops me.

"Told ya, man. Good luck with that. I'm out." Tucker leaves and Frankie looks like he's about to pee his pants.

"What? Don't tell me you're screwing her? When you can have any-" He doesn't get to finish as Benjamin lays one straight onto his jaw.

"Don't ever touch her again or I will put a bullet through your brain." Benjamin's voice was dangerously calm and I averted my eyes as Valesco comes out from his office.

"What's going on here?"

"Let's go." Benjamin grabs my hand and pulls me up the stairs, Caramel and Qulo were now utterly confused.

We enter my room and he plops onto the bed.

"Don't be mad at-" I crash my lips onto his, basically straddling him and he's stunned for a moment before responding.

"Mad at you?" I breathe once we break apart. "That was incredibly sexy." He gives me a lopsided grin and I smile, climbing off of him.

"Did you get your apple?" He asks and I nod. "Alright, be in my room in 5."

I'm showered, I'm shaved, I'm fresh.

Not like I plan to do anything... I mean its just the second date.

I had some comfy grey sweatpants and matching socks. I pulled my hair into a loose rubber band that barely contained it, but it wasn't in my face so...

A simple T-shirt was paired with all of it and I looked extremely comfy.

Ten minutes later I'm in Benjamin's room.

"I said five minutes, not a whole year." He exaggerates and I roll my eyes amused. His room was black. Just. Black.

"Don't mosquitoes eat you alive?" I raise an eyebrow.

"I'm pretty sure you're the only one who sleeps without the a.c on." He says and I shrug.

"Well, let the date begin!"
