Sex, Lies, and the Drug Game

Sex, Lies, and the Drug Game ch2

I woke up while it was still dark outside. Ben's chest was moving up and down slowly as he inhaled while sleeping. I smiled at how peaceful he looked. The clock said it was 5 in the morning, which was good. That would give me enough time to get cleaned up and make breakfast and do some house chores before Ben woke up.

I crept out of bed to the bathroom and took a quick shower and brushed my teeth. After that I left my room to go make some eggs and biscuits. Ben had left a sandwich and a half on the table last night since he didn't really get to finish. As I put the biscuits in the oven I remember Ben's clothes so I made my way down to the laundry room and put the practically dry now and hard as rock clothes in the dryer with 5 pieces of fabric softener. After the laundry task was done I mad my way back to the kitchen to finish preparing breakfast.

It took me about 10 minutes in all to make the eggs biscuits and lemonade and then set the table. After there was nothing left to do I went to wake Ben up. I took long strides to my room and opened the door by just a crack to see and hear Ben on the phone. I guess he didn't hear or see the door crack because he just kept on talking on the phone.

"Yeah I got him last night. He went down like a little bitch though. He kept begging for me to spare him and I told him what you told me to tell him."

"Yeah. I'm going to tell Boss when I see him."

"The guy was a punk it was an easy job."

"Alright I gotta go."

"Bye"

I wonder what he was talking about. I stood holding the doorknob until Ben pulled on it from the other side making me fall forward.

"Oh sorry babe." Ben said looking down at me. "I didn't know you were there."

"Oh it's ok I was just checking to see if you were awake."

"Wide awake, and ready for round 6." Ben winked at me with a smirk

"What ever lover boy. I made breakfast so there is only going to be a round 1 and it's between me and the food on my plate. Besides I decided I'm going to school today."

"Oh shit we do have school today huh?" Ben asked before smacking his forehead with the palm of his hand.

"Yeah."

"Alright. At least I only have one class." Ben said before walking out of my room and heading to the kitchen.

We both ate and got ready for school and it was a pretty easy task for Ben since he just waited around in a towel for his clothes to dry.

"Did you drive your car?" I asked as I put on a ultra thin tan sweater. The sun was raised now and it was about 7. I had on shorts with uggs and a purple tank top.

"Yeah. But I'm just going to drop you off since I have late start."

"How do you know you have late start? You didn't even know that school started today."

"I don't know I’m just hoping I do." Ben smiles before pecking me on the cheek and zipping up his pants.

"Well let’s go since we already know that traffic is going to be a bitch." I said as I headed out the door with Ben following close behind.

"Just think after this semester we will be school free." Ben said as we exited the apartment building and to the parking lot.

Ben and I decided that we wanted early graduation long before we even met each other and we stuck to that. Ben is really smart so he finished all his required classes by the first semester of 11th grade. It took me till the end of 11th. Ben doesn't want to go to college but I want to go to the art institute here in New York for fashion designing. He says he just wants to work for my dad until they put him in the ground but I hate when he talks like that so we barely discuss the future.

I got into Ben's car and he sped right off into the city that never sleeps.

I got to school around 7:45 so the drive wasn't that bad and I only had 3 hours of school everyday so I was in a pretty good mood.

"I'll see you later." I leaned in the car window from the outside.

"Hopefully. If duty calls duty calls."

"I have to talk to my dad about your work hours." I said shaking my head.

Ben just laughed at my comment "I'm not complaining I’m making more money then most kids parents at this school."

"Always the one to gloat. Oh while we are on this topic what is it that you and my dad do?" I ask trying to sneak it in there so he won’t realize what I’m asking.

"Our job is to take care of you beautiful." Ben said with a gorgeous smile.

"Really Ben I want to know."

"Dalia baby I want to I really do it just I cant."

"Why?" I asked taking a glimpse at the clock I had five minutes till the first bell rang at 8 then plus the 5 minutes to get to class so I truth I had about 9 more minutes to talk.

"Baby we've been over this. I promise you though when the time is right I will tell you."

"I'll hold you to that Ben. So don't make any promises that you wont keep."

"I promise to you Dalia Francesca, that when the time is right to tell you about my job I will make no hesitation to tell you." Ben said looking into my eyes "Now hurry up before the bell rings and you get pissed at me for making you late."

-------

Me and Ben's talk was all I could think about during my first two periods. When would the time be right and what was about there job that they obviously didn't want me to know about and had Ben always talking about death.

Thoughts kept nagging at me until it was finally lunch I sat with a few of my friends and they all began to worry about me but I shrugged there millions of questions about me and my summer by answering with one word answers.

What could Ben and my dad possible be hiding?
