Sweet Revenge

Chapter ten

Autumn

We sat and played games for hour on end. I'll admit him being a teenage boy have him some advantage but me being a cool m who does this kind of thing with her son almost everyday gave me more of an advantage against him.

"Mrs.Black I didn't know you could play that well I thought I was going to teach you" he pouted. I giggled a bit and put the remote down to comfort him.

"Aww I'm sorry ben.. everyone can't be as great as me" he looked up at me with an adorable glare. I miss my son.

"Not fair"

"Don't be such a sore loser ben now are you going to beat me or pout like a two year old all day" he looked away from me with his arms crossed over his chest. He really is a kid.

"Alright I guess I'll have to find another to play wit-"

"No! I'll be good I won't pout anymore Mrs.Black" He promised, I had to refrain from laughing at him. All kids are the same.

"Swear?" I raised my eyebrow at him.

"Cross my heart and hope to die" he crossed his heart and kissed it up into the air.

"Okay and by the way call me autumn from now on. Mrs.Black makes me feel old" we laughed and enjoyed the rest of our time well until ben became hit and took a nap while I entertained myself.

An hour later I didn't know what I was going to do. I literally was bored out of my mind. I tried playing games or texting Xzavier it he had an important meeting to go in and I didn't want to wake up ben because that would be rude.

I went inside of my room closet and pulled out the one thing I dreaded these days but it'll keep me busy. I just hope I don't wake ben with the noise.

Ben

"...But when the night is falling you cannot find a light, light you feel your dreams dying hold tight..... you got the music in you don't let go you got the music in you one dance let this world is gonna pull through don't give up you got a reason to live can't forget we only get what we give......" the most angelic voice sings.

Someone was singing and it was beautiful. I could hear the guitar playing softly in the background as the voice sings again.

"Four A.M. we ran a miracle mile we're flat broke but hey we do it in style the bad rich God's flying in for your trial but when the night is falling you cannot find a friend, friend you feel your dreams breaking just then...... you got the music in you don't let go you got the music in you one dance left this world is gonna pull through dont give up you got a reason to live can't forget we o my get what we give...." once I finally wake up all the day what I seen had me in a trance.

Autumn sat in the chair by the window and played a guitar while the rain poured down. She didn't notice me watching her but I never wanted her to stop.

"Health Insurance Rip off lying FDA big bankers buying fake computers crashers dining cloning while their multiplying fashion shoots with beck and Hanson Courtney Love and Marilyn Manson you're all fake run to your mansions come around we'll kick your ass in..... don't let go..... one dance left" she played the guitar with such ease it looked like she's been playing all of her life and that voice. Wow.

They never mentioned she had such a talent. Why would they tell me those other things and not this?

When she looked my way her face held shock and fear. I don't know why but I couldn't take my eyes off of her at the moment.

"How king have you been awake" she asked while putting the guitar back inside it's case and stuffing it into the back of her closet.

"How long have you been playing and singing because that was awesome. I've never seen anyone sing like that ever! You even added a little country slang into it like a natural. Wow!" I was absolutely speechless after that.

She placed her hea son her hands and sighed heavily. I quickly sat beside her and asked her what was wrong. God I hope I didn't embarrass her.

"It's not that ben it's just that I've never shown anyone and when I say anyone I mean it. No one knows my love for singing and playing the guitar because I've always kept that part of my life hidden from everyone even my own parents" she confessed. I peeled up at hearing I've been the only one to hear the amazing voice she has even if it wasn't her intention I still got to know apart of her that one once else knows.

Not even Xzavier!

"I-I'll keep your secret Mrs.Bl- I mean autumn" I'm so excited I get to call her that now I mean I have before but never in front of her.

"Thank you ben but I think it's about time that I tell-"

"No! I mean are you sure because I promise it'll just stay between us" I wanted this special thing with me and autumn one else as selfish as that sounded a needed a piece of her no one else has.

"You're probably right I mean I can't really sing that well anyway"

"Are you kidding your voice is beautiful but.. I just wanted to maybe sang a few songs with you first I'm really shy about my singing also" I told her truthfully and if she sang like that I could pick up a tip or two from her.

Like a lesson! She could give me private lessons!

"Okay why not but only for a week tops because then I know how angry Xzavier is going to be about me keeping this from him for so long so I better hurry and do this"

"Of course" my smile never faded at the thought of us actually spending more alone time together with a secret only between he both of us that no one can interfere with. I'm so lucky.
