The Deal...

The Deal...Kiss and Tell

Izabella

I didn’t know what I was thinking as I began to undress. But I also didn’t want to talk with Benji either. Somehow, stripping was easier than confessing.

I walked to the closed bathroom door and opened it slowly. I noticed Benji turned around, facing the toilet. He heard me and turns around. His jaw dropped and his eyes exploded.

"What are you doing?" Benji stuttered out.

"Just taking another shower," I lied and walked over to the shower and turned the water on so it was the perfect temperature. "You're invited to join me."

I get in and walked under the shower head. I heard slight pants and clothes being dropped to the floor. I waited for a few seconds until I saw the glass door slide and close once again. I felt a pair of bold strong arms wrap around my wet waist.

"I'll ask you again, what are you doing?" Benji wondered and I couldn't help but notice how husky his voice sounded.

"I want to help," I told him in a whisper and I felt him grow stiff against my back.

"Why?"

"Because I feel like it's my fault."

"Izabella. It's my fault. I should have knocked, or waited or-"

"You wouldn't have to knock if I hadn't been daydreaming," I cut him off.

"But, weren't you sexually abuse by your boss? Why are you offering to help me with my b***r? Which, by the way, has gotten harder because of you," he accused and my face heated up in response.

"Well, you've seen me naked, let me just help," I said and turn to him.

"Fine," he said and pressed his lips to mine. I pulled back in an instant and gasped. "What?"

"You just stole my first kiss."

"But I thought your boss..." he trailed and I shook my head.

"Those were all forced so I don't count them."

"Oh," Benji sighed and kissed me again.

I was half expecting for him to just forcefully kiss me as Isaac did. But no, Benji's lips were soft and sweet; Not hard like Isaac's. And, after a few seconds, I began to kiss him back. We were slowly coordinated. That is, until Benji licked my bottom lip, asking for entrance. I opened my mouth so he could wiggle his tongue in.

Benji turned me around and slammed my back against the wet tile wall while he continued to kiss me gently. Despite his rough action, he still caressed me gently. I moaned into his mouth when our tongues touched and I felt him smirk. I began to lose air and pulled away to breathe.

"I thought I was supposed to be pleasing you, not the other way around," I said as I felt Benji attack my neck.

"It works both way princess," he murmured against my throat and I moaned as he kissed the base of my neck. My sweet spot.

Somehow my brain bypassed all the pleasure and made sense of the whole situation.

"Benji?" I moaned.

"That's my name."

"You're not taking my virginity," I seriously told him as he began to massage my breasts. He stopped suddenly and looked at me intensely. Watching my eyes, as if I was joking. It looked like Benji had just been turned off. Like a light switch.

"Wasn't planning on it. And uh, I don't need your help anymore with my problem."

"Huh? Why not? Is it because I don't want you to be my first?"

"No, it's because we need to talk because I have to go soon." I felt like he was lying to me, but I didn't push him further and nodded my head. I turned off the shower with and Benji stepped away from me.

So now I was in some cropped leggings and tank top while Benji was in his clothes from before. He was sitting on the floor against my closed bedroom door and I was on my bed facing him.

"So, let me get this straight. You knew about me getting robbed because you are part of a gang?" I asked after he informed me of what he did as a living. All this time I thought he was a simple cute Starbucks barista boy. I was wrong.

"Yes," Benji confirmed.

"You must have been spying on me then."

"Just for a month prior the rob. We knew that Isaac Mendez gave out a lot of money to you. So, we watched a fire light a very patient bomb until it exploded. Then we went to clean up the mess and ashes," Benji explained. “If I had known he was harassing you, I would have either stepped in sooner or called off the robbery immediately.”

"Wait, you sent them out?" He nodded.

"Someone's been thinking," he smirked and I rolled my eyes.

"I'm going to law school for a reason, dumbass."

"That's rude. So, why were you so upset?"

"I don't like secrets," I said. "Like finding out my mom is cheating on my dad with another man. Or learning that a potentially good friend was a gang member and he knew about my robbery."

"Yet, here we are now." He looked next to me and his eyes burst, "Oh my gosh Is it really seven already?!"

"Yes, do you have to go now?" I wondered, with slight disappointment.

"I do. Got a bank to rob," he said and winked. The wink almost made me believe that he was joking, but then my brain reminded me he was a gang member, and this was what he did.

"Well, good luck. I guess I'll see you on the news," I joked and we chuckle.d

"I'll be the one in black," he tells me and closes my door. Wouldn't they all be in black clothing? Oh well. It didn't matter to me. He was just a gang member.

Wait a minute. I knew a gang member of the Phantom Devils. Aren't the police after them or something? Shouldn't I tell someone?

A million questions flowed through my head. I clearly had to do something with the information, but I couldn’t go running to the police, could I? I would be a traitor, and something in me knew that Benji would make me regret my choice.
