My Bestfriend's Father (Spooky)

Chapter 18

Tito

It's been about a week since Hermione and I had started fake dating. Here's the problem with this whole plan. I've started to get to know Hermione on a different level and I actually think I like her. She is funny and smart. I've been trying to keep my feelings in check but it's kinda hard to when we have to fake date. The worst part is I know she won't like me back. She's too in love with Oscar to even think about me that way.

Hermione

Tito and I were sitting in the living room snuggled up watching a movie. If I'm honest I've been finding myself texting and calling Tito more and more everyday. I was kinda happy being around Tito. It may be fake but he at least tried with me. Oscar on the other hand, he didn't look so happy anymore. Tito and I laughed as a funny part came on the tv. I looked up at him and he was already looking down at me. He placed his hand on my cheek and slowly leaning towards me. I found myself leaning in as well. As our lips connected it felt so different, not a bad different, just different. When Oscar kissed me it was hard and with desire, but when Tito kissed me it was gently and with care. Like if he kissed me too hard I'd break into pieces.

Pulling away I could still feel tingles on my lips like he was still kissing me. A throat cleared and our heads snapped to the sound. There stood Oscar with a pissed off look on his face. "I think I'm gonna go. I'll see you later muñeca." Tito spoke standing up, kissing my head, and walking towards the door. As he was passing by, Oscar shoulder checked him then came to sit beside me as the front door closed. "Why did you do that? There was no reason for you to shoulder check him!" Oscar rolled his eyes and looked at me with rage building up in them. I could see he was getting more angry as I defended Tito against him.

"That's it! We need to talk!" Oscar abruptly stood up and pulled me with him to his room slamming the door. "What is there to talk about? You shoulder checked my boyfriend. He's your hermano, there was no since in doing that to him!" Oscar rolled his eyes before sighing dramatically loud and plopping down on his bed. "You know, for a gang leader you are such a drama queen sometimes." This isn't the first time he's acted this way. Every time he sees me with Tito he gets so frustrated and hits something or throws things. "I can't help it. It's driving me crazy! I don't like seeing you with h." Oscar got cut off by my phone dinging. Pulling it out we both seen it was Tito. "See what I mean. It's like I can never have you to myself anymore!" He yelled angrily pointing to my phone.

"Well he's my boyfriend Oscar. What do you want me to do?!" I asked getting frustrated myself. "Break up with him." He sounded so sure of his response as it fell from his lips. "'Why should I? It's not like anyone is waiting for me to just leave him!" Oscar finally decided to take a moment to think about his next words. He took a few breathes and spoke calmly. "Because I'm tired of seeing you and him together like that in my house." I on the other hand didn't think at all before I spoke. "Why don't you just kick me out then, huh? If my relationship with Tito offends you sooo much then do it already!" I yelled angrily at him. He rolled his eyes before huffing again. I had had enough of this little game with him.

"You know what, let me make it easy for you. I'll be out in the morning Oscar." I spoke as tears pricked my eyes. He was never going to admit to anything. He wasn't going to ask me to be with him. He wasn't going to like me. And he sure as hell wasn't going to love me. Why should I continue to drag myself through this desperate attempt to make him admit something he didn't feel towards me. Turning away from him was like turning my back on someone I needed most in my life. "Hermione stop." His voice was no higher than a whisper but the grip he has on my hand was like a ball and chain holding me in place.

He slowly turned me around and looked into my eyes. "Don't leave me, please. Too many people have walked out of my life, I don't want you to be one of them. You're not like her. Please stay Hermione." He whispered as he placed his hands in my hair on each side of my face and resting his forehead on mine. A single tear rolled down his cheekbone across his teardrop tattoo making it glisten. "Please." He begged as if he were praying to me. It made my heart wrench in my chest. I placed my hands on his wrists and moved them away from me before grabbing his shirt and pulling him into a hug. "I'm not going to leave you like she did. I'm right here I promise." I spoke rubbing his back as he held onto me, it felt like he was holding on for dear life. Like if he was to let go he'd never see me again.

My phone dinged again making Oscar pull away from my slowly. "You should see what he wants." He sounded a little upset. Pulling out my phone I seen two texts from Tito.

T👅

I think we need to stop
what we're doing before
one of us fucks up.

I hope you understand❤️

It's okay Tito I get it.
I understand completely.

I hope Oscar makes a
move soon. He really
needs someone like you.

I hope Angel hits your line.
You deserve to be happy.

I slid my phone into my pocket and looked up at Oscar with a small smile. "What did he want?" He is just as nosy as Tez. "He broke up with me." Oscar looked angry at this point. "Just let me know and I'll break his face for you." I just giggled before kissing his lips. "I never wanted him to begin with. It was always you I wanted." I smiled pulling away from him. His face was so confused but I'll explain one of these days.
