My Bestfriend's Father (Spooky)

Chapter 15

Hermione

After weeks of deciding whether I should leave my feelings for Oscar alone or continue with them I had my answers cut out for me. One conversation with my best friend and my life just got easier. I never knew I needed Tez this much in my life. He was my family and along with him he brought Oscar. Now Oscar on the other hand, he brought a whole new outlook on life. He made me happy and safe all at the same time. I knew even if I didn't get with Oscar, he'd still be in my life because of Tez.

"Good morning sunshine. It's time for me to head to work. I'll be home after closing, now would be the best time to make your move." Tez woke me up whispering and I smiled up at him. "I actually might." He made a gross looking face at me then fanned his hand in front of his face. "Not with that breath. Girl if you make a move you better brush that mouth. You got me over here sounding like Donkey from shrek. You need a tic tac or something cause your breath stinks." He laughed quoting Donkey. I rolled my eyes and went into the bathroom brushing my teeth and hair.

"You better go before you're late. Love you and be safe." I whispered as he walked out the front door. I watched from the window as he got into the car with Tito and they drove away. I on the other hand walked quietly to a bedroom I had been in plenty of times before. Knocking I got no answer which meant he was either asleep or wasn't here. I decided to just go inside anyways. Walking through the door I could see Oscar passed out in his bed. He looked so peaceful when he slept.

I pulled back the blanket slightly and crawled in. As soon as I laid my head on the pillow Oscar rolled over looking at me with those big beautiful brown eyes. My heart melted just like the first time I saw them. "What are you doing in here? What if Tez sees?" He started to panic. I leaned down and kissed his lips softly. "Tez knows and he's cool with it. Also he's at work." The panic visible left his body when the words slipped from my lips and a smile spread across his own.

"What did you tell him exactly?" I rolled my eyes playing coy with him. "I told him I have a thing for his old ass dad." I laughed at his shocked face. "So you didn't tell him I have a thing for his best friend?" He asked me after the shock left his beautiful face. "I don't know if you do or don't. You are too hard to read. One moment your kissing all up on me, the next your giving me the stink eye around Tito." He nodded in understanding. "The only reasons I give you the stink eye is because Tito knows I like you and because I didn't like seeing how close you two were." I tried my hardest not to smile at him.

"Oh so you like me now?" I could tell he was getting frustrated with me now. "That's it. I'm going back to sleep." He huffed rolling over. I didn't stop him either. I just rolled over facing him and threw my arm around him, draping my leg over his side. "I could get used to this though." I heard him mumble. I giggled at his words. "Go to sleep Ossie." I felt his hand rub my leg until it started to slow down and then all together it stoped. I found myself slowly falling asleep beside him. I felt safe and at peace with him near me, this was one of the many reason I liked him.

Later that day Tito came to hang out, which Oscar was a little irate about. Because in the end Oscar was left out of mine and Tito's conversation. Soon enough Angel called and Tito jetted out the door saying something about a booty call. I found myself laughing up a storm because of how fast Tito jumped up and ran off. "What's so funny?" Oscar asked sitting beside me. I had to calm down and catch my breath. "Tito leaving so fast because of a booty call from Angel!" Oscar started to laugh and so did I. Tears spring to my eyes and my stomach hurt so bad from laughter.

Oscar made us some lunch and we ate watching a movie called Black Mass. (if you haven't watched the movie your missing out. It's amazing) The man named Whitey reminded me a lot of Oscar. They were both dangerous gangsters and never really got caught. At the end of the movie it was time for me to start my cleaning. I have been wanting to clean this house from top to bottom for weeks now. I rummaged through the hall closet looking for a mop bucket but couldn't find one at all.

"Oscar! Oscar!" A few seconds later he appeared beside me. "Where is your mop bucket? I can't find one anywhere in here?" He laughed a little before reaching his arm up and pulling the bucket off the highest shelf that I couldn't reach. "I might need to get you a step ladder. Or I could put you on my shoulders." He smirked handing me the bucket and walking away, leaving me red faced. That man has a way with words sometimes that just makes my skin burn, in a good way.

The house was deep cleaned and I was exhausted. Every nook and cranny has been scrubbed and it looks so good in here. I will admit it does need a few pictures and throws to feel more homely. Which is my next mission. I want this place to feel like home for not only myself while I'm here but also Oscar and Tez. I can tell they've never really had a woman to help them with the whole, decorating thing.
