My Gangster Babysitter 18|You’re Safe Now
~Kai~“It’s up to her. I’m not her keeper,” I said detachedly.By definition and my job description, I was her keeper. Her brother asked me to protect her, but whenever I am around Benny, my mouth and brain coordination are always in a plight that has proven hard to fight.I would’ve chosen another place if I had known Liam was in town. It’s not that Liam would have a negative effect on Benny’s welfare; it’s quite the opposite. Liam is one of the good guys, and the fact that Benny was looking at him with googly eyes annoyed me more than it should have .Benny whipped her attention in my direction, and an emotion I couldn’t assess crossed her face. She tipped her chin, defiance twinkling in her eyes.“Sure,” she said without taking her eyes off me. “A party sounds cool.”Liam smiled victoriously, biting down on his lip. “Kai knows where. Just head there anytime you’re ready.”When I took Benny here, I prepared myself for the surge of nostalgia that would hit me once I dwelled on the fa
My Gangster Babysitter 19|Keep Me Forever
~Kai~Benny’s hand fits perfectly in my grasp. It was delicate and small, a stark contrast to my coarse and huge one. It felt like I was holding a child’s hand.While walking back home, our steps turned from slow to measured ones, as though we both didn’t want this night to end yet. Maybe it was just me, and Benny was only following my lead; either way, I didn’t hear or sense any protest from her end.Eventually, I had to let her go to open the door once we stepped on the threshold. Benny stood beside me while I pulled out my keys. She hugged herself as if the humid temperature outside suddenly plummeted.She followed me inside and trailed behind me as I headed to the wet bar, grabbing the bottle of bourbon.This day had been a whirlwind of nostalgia in my head. I might look calm and collected outside, but inside I am truly questioning my decision to come back here.“Want a drink?” I offered, filling a rock glass with golden brown liquid.“Uhm, sure…” she said, shifting from one foot
My Gangster Babysitter 20|About Last Night
~Benny~ I squinted my eyes, the bright light blinding me as my consciousness slowly awakened. It seems that I had been dead tired from having forgotten to close the curtains before going to sleep. Still with my eyes closed, I shifted, stretching my dozed-off limbs. I froze when I felt heavy arms restraining me. Dread washed over me, realizing a man’s arm fettered me from moving. Heart beating wildly, I tried to recall the events from last night. Dinner. Liam’s invitation to a party. Kai and I walked back home, hand in hand, the two of us drinking. Fuck. I had never drunk anything stronger than fruity cocktails and beer. The moment I saw the bottle of bourbon, I knew I should’ve said no to Kai’s offer for a drink. Even the bottle has a label saying it’s for the bad boys. Even without opening my eyes, I knew it was Kai holding me. It’s funny how quickly I got acquainted with his scent. It’s spicy, yet not the kind that’s stingy on the nose or painful in the eyes, but the kind tha
My Gangster Babysitter 21|That Kind Of Love
~Benny~I swallowed hard, unsure of how to react to what Kai murmured.That doesn’t sound like me at all. But to a drunk Benny? Hm, that’s a maybe.“I almost lost it, Benny,” he said, still stroking my cheeks tenderly like he was afraid to break me. “From now on, you are not drinking without me. Do you know what else you did to convince me?”I’m curious but afraid to know. My cheeks were probably in flames. Tony knew I am a virgin, and he agreed to have our first time on our wedding night. Somehow, I am grateful that he conceded to my request.At some point, I consider that the reason Tony cheated on me with my mother. No matter how much I loved her, my mother never experienced a shortage of vitamin dick. She was good in bed. Sometimes, I’d hear her and her flavor of the week banging in all corners of our apartment in Paris. So when I turned legal age, I moved out of her place. In her defense, she tried so hard to keep it down. It’s just that the walls had been so thin, and her men w
My Gangster Babysitter 22|We Are Cool
~Benny~‘I shouldn’t be mad at him. He was only doing the right thing,’ I kept repeating this in my head like a mantra, but his rejection really hit me right where it hurts.Even drunk, I had never offered myself to anyone, not even to Tony. I am intrigued by Kai and what kind of person he truly is.He’s being the gentleman I never thought he was. He knew I might regret it if something happened between us, but it only made me want him even more. How come the person I considered heartless was the one who was doing the right by me?It had been three days since that eventful morning in his bed, and I had been doing everything I could to avoid him. Kai seemed to feel that, and he’d been out all day and only went back home to sleep. He filled the fridge and pantry with everything I would need, from breakfast to dinner. He’d leave breakfast ready for me, and I’d make dinner for the two of us.We’ve fallen into a routine, and I couldn’t even hate him for avoiding me. But I miss him. How can
My Gangster Babysitter 23|Nice Timing
~Benny~I could count on my fingers in one hand the times Tony took me out on a date. Since he informed me of my true identity, I’ve lived in hiding, and going out on a public date is a considerable risk to my safety; at least, that’s what he made me believe.We went out a few times in Paris while he was courting me. We had our first kiss on the Eiffel Tower, walked hand in hand at Luxembourg Palace and Gardens on our second date, and dined at Gare de Lyon’s Le Train Bleu on our third date.Remembering those events made me nostalgic; tears brimmed in the corners of my eyes as I stared at myself in the mirror.This… this is the reason Kai hadn’t agreed to my offer.I am still figuring myself out, healing from the pain of Tony and my mother’s betrayal. Kai knew that. My unstable mind and hormones are a danger to others and, mostly, to myself.Sighing, I stood up and spritzed a jasmine scented cologne on my wrist, rubbing them together. I found the cologne on the dresser and I hope Kai w
My Gangster Babysitter 24|End of the Tunnel
~Benny~Anchored luxury yachts and fishing vessels lined parallel with an extensive man-made platform with various restaurants, booths, and games. This looks more like a fair than a wharf. People of all ages crowd the dock, and the smell of popcorn, hotdogs, burgers, and delicious sea catches wafts through the air.Justine and I stood at the foot of the platform, waiting for Kai and Liam as they bought tickets, which we will use to pay on the stalls instead of cash. I learned that Wharf Fair is a mayor’s project, and half of the proceeds are dedicated to charity. Also, all the booths and restaurants are locally owned to help promote local tourism and help SMEs on the island.Justine let out a heavy breath, leaning against the thick wood railings. We stood a good three feet away, yet I could feel the weight of her sidelong stare at me.“What?” I asked detachedly. I have a pretty good idea of what’s going through her head. She’s curious, wanting to ask more about what Kai revealed in th
My Gangster Babysitter 25|I’m Fine
~Benny~“Benny!” Liam’s anxious voice echoed above the discord of the wharf, the waves, the breeze, and my wild beating heart.I held tight to Kai, not lifting my face from his chest. It was my safe place, his arms around me, but I was pulled away from him and another man embraced me.Liam. His heart knocks against my chest. My hands dropped to my side as he enveloped me in his embrace.Over his shoulder, Kai doesn’t look pleased either.‘Why did you let me go?’ my eyes asked.‘Because you are not mine to keep,’ his eyes replied, his jaw tight.Justine ran into him. Her weight didn’t even phase him. He remained frozen, stiff as a pole, as she buried her face on his chest and curled her arms around his waist.I watched in silence, lifting my gaze to his. ‘You are my keeper, keep me.’He closed his eyes, taking a deep breath. When those gray eyes met mine again, the determination in them could burn a meadow in spring. ‘You don’t know what you are asking.’I shook my head. ‘I want you to
