My Bestfriend's Father (Spooky)

Chapter 9

Oscar

The thought of her going on a date with some guy has me all rattled inside. Why would she do that if she kissed me not to long ago?  I keep getting mixed signals. I want to help her solve them but at the same time I don't want to push her into anything she doesn't want to do. I don't want her and Cortez to stop being friends if he found out but maybe he wouldn't mind. He's talked about her since I have been out of prison and he even talked to Tito about her. I can remember the first time he told me about her like it was yesterday.

Flashback: Tez was 13

I had just gotten home from being locked up for four years. Tito and Cortez was sitting in the living room waiting patiently for me to walk inside and sit down. As soon as I got one foot in the door I was tackled by my son into a hug. "I missed you dad!" He cried into my chest as I picked him up hugging him for dear life. "I missed you too mijo." I felt tears in my eyes but held them back. He had gotten bigger since the last time I seen him, when he was 9. I refused to let my son see me in prison because I didn't want him to see me at my lowest point in life.

After a long talk with Tito he went home. I was so thankful for Tito. He was like the brother I never got. I was an only child in a broken home. An abusive father and a crackhead for a mother. I wanted to raise my kid right but that got fucked up when I was forced to join Los Santos because of my last name and my father. Now it was time to catch up on my sons life since I had been gone. "So tell me, how is school? Any new friends?" He smiled wide at me when I said the word, friends. "School is fun I guess. But the one thing I do like is lunch because I get to sit with my friend. I have a friend named Hermione. She's really nice dad. We've been friends since fifth grade. I asked her for a pencil once and we've been friends ever since." He was all smiles talking about Hermione. "And what does Hermione look like?" I was curious to know who my son was hanging around.

"She has long light brown hair, a little lighter than me, and hazel eyes. Oh and she's older than me." I nodded as he spoke. "She helps me with my school work and she bought me a new football for my birthday this year." He went on and on about Hermione for a really long time but I never felt comfortable letting her come here. I wanted to wait for her to at least be in high school before I let her come around the homies.

End of Flashback

Hermione has been a really good influence on Tez for a long time. The way Tez always talked about her I thought that he might have a crush on her. Then all of a sudden he was telling me about a girl named Anna and how she was the prettiest girl he had ever seen. From that moment on I knew he didn't like Hermione the way I thought he would.

The moment I seen the way Hermione and Tez acted together it was different. They laughed, goofed off, and did things that guys usually did together. I even overheard them having a burping contest in Tez's room which was hilarious because he got beat by a girl every time. They act exactly like Tito and I when we were that age.

Now here I am pissed off that my sons best friend is going on a date with a guy her own age and not me. It was a stab to the chest but I feel like she does want me.

Hermione

I threw my suitcase open looking for the perfect outfit for my date. I didn't want to go after that make out session in the kitchen but I knew I needed to. I was hooked on his lips like a fish is to water. I couldn't let him know that though, I had to do this for Tez. I finally found an outfit that I somewhat liked. It was like everything in my body was telling me no. I threw on the clothes, curled my hair into ringlets, then did a light makeup. As soon as I was done I went into the living room to hang out. "Damn Hermione, you clean up nice!" Tito complimented me. I did a little pose trying to be funny which made Tito clap while laughing. "Don't you think she looks nice Oscar?" Tito asked.

"I mean she looks ight, showing a little too much skin for my liking but she ain't my kid so." He spoke nonchalantly while shrugging his shoulders. A knock on the front door knocked us out of our conversation, I knew it was Luca. Oscar and Tito stood up walking to the front door swinging it open. Luca was standing there with a smile on his face. "Hi I'm here to pick up Hermione. I'm Luca." He spoke sticking out his hand. Oscar scoffed and walked away from the door. I rolled my eyes before saying goodbye to Tito since Oscar walked into his room.

Luca and I got into his car and we took off. He took me to a nice restaurant and we ate dinner there. As soon as dinner was over we decided to take a little drive around town. The sun was setting and I couldn't help but like how this date was going. We talked about everything. From college plans to childhood stories.

Luca pulled into an abandon parking lot and all of a sudden something didn't feel right. Something wasn't right, it felt off for some reason. Like you knew something was about to happen but you couldn't figure it out. But whatever it was, it wasn't good.
