»♥« Quindici: Bennett's Dark Side

Scarlett's POV

"So you meet Arthur and Ace?" Bennet asked.

Right now we are at the living room. After putting the groceries away, I took a shower before Bennet call me downstairs. To tell you the truth my left ankle are throbbing ever since my fight with the monsters. I think I may or may not sprained my left ankle but oh well. When I was showering I saw my ankle was swollen which approve what I think.

"Yeah. They are chasing after a hell monsters. We help them out because we are there" Hunter explained.

"Ouch" all the noise seize. Right now Luca is dressing my sprained ankle.

In a instant Shawn come beside me "Are you okay princess?".

"I'm okay just have sprained ankle that's all" I smile.

"You know mistress you should've told us your ankle was swollen. Didn't you trust us know enough to told us about that?".

"I do trust you guys but I don't want you guys to stop shopping just because I have sprained ankle. Beside the reason we are going out was to go shopping. It will be a waste if we didn't finish shopping".

"Luca said you shouldn't use your leg for 2-3 days if you don't want to use the leg brace again" Hunter translate what Luca sign.

"Is that mean I can't do my own laundry?" I don't like a pile...no a mountain of dirty clothes if I don't do laundry for 3 days.

"I can help you Mistress" Xavier appears in front of me.

Shawn push Xavier's face away "No, I'll help you Princess".

"p*****t 4 eyes please. We have go through this before. You are a p*****t so please stay away from my Mistress's laundry. Who know what you would do with her laundry" Xavier smirked.

Shawn clicked his tongue "You should look at mirror first before saying anything stalker. I could only imagine you stealing her undies and keep it somewhere or using it for your own pleasure. Once a stalker always a stalker. I pity your future wife and child".

"Said that again I dare you 4 eyes" Xavier gave Shawn headbutt.

Both of their forehead meet. "Then take back what you said stalker" they glaring at each other.

"Oh, I'll make sure to poke that p*****t eyes of you".

"Then I'll make sure to fire you with paralyzing dart before cutting you stalkerish hand off".

They are so close that their nose are touching. If they move any colder no doubt they will be kissing. But before that can happen or Xavier and Shawn threat could become reality. Bennett stop them, grabbing both Shawn and Xavier back collar before pulling them away and then bring their head together. They both groan in pain and hold their forehead. On their forehead there bruise starting to form.

"What the f**k Bennett?".

Shawn slightly touched his forehead. "It hurt".

Bennet grab their collar "Listen here and listen closely. No one and I meant no one will touch Scarlett's clothes. She will do it herself or if she ask someone to help" he look at me, asking if I need someone to do my laundry which I quickly shook my head. "In this case she didn't need any help. So both of you better stop fighting like 7 years old kid or I'm gonna tie you up somewhere in the house and humiliated you" he have such a sweet smile on his face. "Do we have a deal Shawn, Xavier?".

They gulp and nodded their head. Luca inspect their forehead and treat it. It even scariest when Bennett smile while saying all those thing. He turn around and smile at me. He called me.

"Urm...yes".

"Please take a better care of yourself. You are lucky that you don't broke the bone of your feet after you having fracture. Even if it was hair size please take better care of yourself, your are a girl" he caressing my check lightly. I nod.

"Did you know that Scarlett learn martial art" Hunter blurted out.

Luca turned to me wide eyes.

"She did?" Bennet asked in surprise.

"Yeah you should have see when she kicked the monster's asses" Shawn said excitedly. There a bandaid on his forehead. It was a funny sight because Xavier was the same.

"Yeah, Rei asked me to choose between learning martial art or bodyguards 24/7. He is very overprotective over me but that what make him special for me".

"So what type of martial art do you learn? From what Shawn said about kicking I guess karate or maybe teakwondo".

"Yes and no" Bennett gave me a question look. "I learn mix martial art to be precisely. I don't know what kinda of martial art to learn at first, so I decided to learn that. I learn it since I was 10 and here I'm still breathing and kicking".

"I didn't take you as a martial girl" I think Bennett thought that what he said have hurt my feeling "I didn't meant that you're weak or anything. You handle your scythe skilfully, I didn't think you will use other things to defend yourself".

"Don't worry none taken. I know why you think that maybe because I didn't have huge muscles like a bodybuilder. Even thought I can control the scythe smoothly, there also disadvantage using it. So to turn this disadvantage into my advantage, I decided to learn martial art. Beside I didn't like the idea of being surround by buff, stiff and serious bodyguards 24/7. It just gave me a creep".

Bennett said out load "Wow Director Rei and you are really close for him to be worry about you".

"Yeah we know each other ever since I could remember. I even like his shadow at one point. He i-" before I could finish my stomach growl.

"I forget that I didn't cook for dinner yet. You wait here with the guys while I cook for dinner. Do you want to eat anything specific?" my face lit up when I heard that.

"Co-could you make a hamburger for me" I really in the mood to eat hamburger right now. "With boil potato and carrot on the side".

I feel kinda embarrassing because this is the first time I ask Bennett to make something for me. Usually I just ate what Bennett make for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I don't want to label as ungrateful or something. Yes I can cook. I always cook for myself when I live alone on my apartment, most of the time Kevin would do all the cooking. 

Bennett just gave me a smile "Alright then. Any other request".

"If its okay...can I have white chocolate cheesecake for the dessert too".

Bennett stood up and walk to me. He patted my head. "I'll go make dinner. The guy will keep you entertained while I'm gone. If anything unwanted happen, just yelled my name and I'll come here as fast as I can".

He gave a last glared at Xavier and Shawn before walking out. Their both sigh on relief.

"Thanks God Bennett have gone" Shawn agree with Xavier.

"So what we gonna do now?" Hunter ask.

Luca is feeding his bird with sunflower seed. Xavier and Shawn look at each other then look at me.

"Wanna watch a movie or play video game?" I have to asked them before making decision on what we gonna do while waiting for dinner to be serve.

"Luca and I vote to watch movie" Hunter said raising his hand.

"I choose game".

"Me too" Xavier look over at Shawn.

"Don't copy me creepy stalker".

"Saying it first didn't meant I'm following your decision p*****t 4 eyes. Don't you have any common sense".

They grabbed each other collar and start a staring contest. A few seconds later they quickly move away from each other like they being burn. They look around before sighed in relief.

"Whats wrong with them" I whisper at Hunter who is beside me.

"I think they are scare if Bennett come back". Hunter look at me "Now its your turn to choose. We are 50/50 right now. Do you wanna play video game or watch movie?".

"I never have any chance to play video game here".

"Alright then. Lets go" Without giving me any warning, Hunter carry me bridal style and walking out of the room.

Luca follow behind us. Shawn and Xavier are busy arguing with each other that they didn't realise that we're out of the room. Hunter walked upstairs to the second floor. We arrived in front of a door. Because Hunter was carrying me so Luca help open the door for us.

There was a large screen TV in the middle of the room. With many beanbags in front of it. Around 5 there also 2 sofa and mini refrigerator. Under the TV there a cabinet. Maybe for the game CD or something.

"Welcome to the game room" Hunter sat me down on one of the beanbags. Hunter Sat beside me and Luca sit beside him. "So what kind of game you want to play?".

"Call Of Duty" I didn't know any other game actually.

"Call Of Duty it is then" Hunter switch on the TV and asked Luca to take some joysticks for us.

10 minutes in the game the door burst open. Because of the shock I didn't have time to dodge the bullet and die.

"What is your problem Hunter, taking my Mistress away?" Xavier hugged my right side while Shawn on the other side.

"I was shocked when you are not in the living room Princess" Shawn glared at Xavier "Get your filthy hand off my Princess".

"You are the one should take your hand off my Mistress".

"Guys, guys please stop. I was playing the game right now. You are the course that I lose" I show them the joystick on my hand.

"I'm sorry Mistress I didn't mean to make you lose the game".

"Princess, I'm so sorry. So what kind of game your are playing?".

"Call of Duty" Shawn sat on my left where the are empty spot. Making Xavier have to take a seat beside him.

We play call of duty while making small talk. Then when I think about Bennett cooking the food I request. I didn't realize I spook my mind out.

"Bennett is such a nice guy" the guys all look at me weirdly including Luca. "Did I do something wrong?".

"Are you alright Princess? Did you hit your head or something before?".

"Is there something wrong with your eyes?".

"Mistress tell me what number I'm holding right now" Xavier hold number 1.

"I did hit my head on the fight earlier but it's not that hard that it will bring any brain damaged. And no. My sight are just fine thank you. That is number one Xavier" I answer all their question. "Why are you asking me all this question?"

"Bennet is actually can be such a scary person" Hunter whispered like he scared that anyone will heard.

"He have two face. He might be smiling but who know what his sinister mind was thinking. It was like he have 2 personality. There a nice and smiling personality and are the mean and sadistic personality. You better make sure you didn't fall like other girls at his nice personality" Xavier warned me.

"One time I accidentally make his white shirt turned pink. And as a revenge he make hole on all my shirt where my n****e are. I have to buy new shirt on that day" Shawn shudder.

"Then why did you choose him as a leader if he is like that" they can just choose someone else why didn't their choose someone else other than Bennett.

Hunter smiled at me "Even with his problematic personality, Bennett is actually a guy that we can trust to watch our back in the battlefield. He will do anything to make sure none of his teammate was injured".

"But keep this in mind, Bennett is very scary. He was like the incarnation of the devil. That how scary he is" Xavier added.

"So who is this incarnation of the devil" a voice said. I gasp before throwing the joystick on the voice direction. "Ouch. Scarlett you didn't have to throw the joystick you know".

I'm sorry. I don't know that was you Bennett. You just caught me for a moment" I explain myself.

"Its okay. I just come here to tell you guys that dinner is ready. By the way Hunter can you carry Scarlett to the kitchen. Luca you should go with Hunter and prepare the plate" he look at Shawn and Xavier "I need to teach someone a lesson".

"Alright then we will be going right now. Lets go Luca" Hunter quickly carried me and walk to the exit with Luca behind us.

Xavier and Shawn was about to stand up but Bennet stop them "Oh, Shawn and Xavier please wait. I need to speak with you".

"But Hunter said something bad about you too" Xavier snitched. Hunter turned around and look at Xavier like he was saying 'How could you'.

"Oh, don't worry I just wanna speak with you not Hunter" he smile innocently. "Now go Hunter, Luca. Make sure that the dinner is prepare to serve when we arrived" Hunter and Luca both nodded they head. "Now gentlemen come here. We have something to discuss about" he still have smile on his face.

I just hope they are save.
