Playing with The Devil *Book 2*

*A Little Bit of This and That*

Charlie's POV

    "So why did Ben desperately need you home?" Jacob asked. We currently we on FaceTime while he was in his room in bed and I was at my desk doing paper work. My hand stopped writing and I froze for a second.

   Should I tell Jacob that my father was here? If I tell him he may start being distant with me again. I want to know what he has that my father so desperately wants.

  "Oh nothing too big. Kat just got stuck in the toilet again and I was the only one who could her out." I lied giving out a small laugh. He rolled his eyes and mumbled stupid Kat under his breath, obviously taking the lie.

    I went back to silently doing my work hoping he wouldn't catch up on the fact I was lying. Kat hadn't gotten stuck in a toilet in over two years. Then again, you wouldn't think someone would ever get stuck in a toilet for the first time.

   "Only Kat would get stuck in a toilet. The last time that happened it took two hours to get her out. It was ridiculous." I rambled with a laugh. He let out a low chuckle in response.

   "When can I see you again?" He asked after a moment of silence. I pursed my lips and thought to myself. If I go to see him again it could potentially risk someone seeing us and it getting back to my father. He would have me in a casket if he found out I had lied to him. 

   He has never liked being lied to. You always say the truth or you might as well be dead, at least you are dead to him if you lie. I learned the hard way. 

   "I don't know. Hopefully soon but I have to catch up on some work here. I have to make sure Kat and Ben didn't ruin my gang while I was away." I said laughing. He smiled at me through the phone before letting out another chuckle.

   "That sounds like something they would do so yes you may want to check up on that." He spoke. I bit my bottom lip with a smile and nodded. 

   "I am kind of tired." I said letting out a yawn. Jacob let out a small chuckle and shook his head. I sleep a lot so he is probably used to this.

   I kind of want a cosmic brownie. No I don't. I want sleep. 

   "Go to sleep. I'll be here when you wake up." With a soft nod I closed my eyes and drifted off to sleep.

The dickhead lied. When I woke up my phone was still on but the FaceTime had ended. With a grunt I got out of bed and made my way out of my room.

I'm just going to go on a nice long trip to Ben's room to annoy him. That sounds like an awfully fun thing to do if I do say so myself.

"What's up bit-" I froze mid sentence when I saw Ezra on top of Ben shirtless. Ezra quickly scrambled off a frustrated Ben who was panting heavily.

"Carry on." I cleared my throat before quickly walking out of the room and shutting the door. I heard Ben's laughter ricochet off the thin walls. I awkwardly walked back to my room and grabbed clothes for a shower. A shower is what I need. No I need a bath in holy water after witnessing what I just had. 

   After my shower I went downstairs and began making food for all of us. As I was flipping the last pancake Ben and Ezra wondered into the room. An awkward tension filled the room quickly.

   "How was the hot steamy sex?" I questioned. This made the both of them laugh, breaking the tension in the room. 

   We ate and talked about little things here and there. It was full of laughter and giggles. Ezra had left after we ate claiming that he had to work in a few hours. I of course had to add in a sexual joke saying that he had worked enough in the bedroom about an hour ago. He chuckled embarrassed and fled the scene quickly. 

    "So have you heard from your dad since then?" Ben asked taking a sip from his coffee. My body instantly stilled and my blood ran cold thinking about him. I cleared my throat and looked down at my mug. I nodded slightly. I hadn't mentioned this before but somehow over that night my father had gotten my number. I don't exactly know how.

   "What did he say?" He questioned. 

   "Just a little but of this and that you know." I mumbled out not making eye contact. He hummed softly.

   "Yeah now what did he really want?" He pushed further. I sighed and looked up at him. 

   "He asked me more things about Jacob. I can't just give away that I know him because what if he tries to send people after him. My father seems like a dangerous man. I know he looks like a nice guy and is a nice guy to the outside world but I can't just forget what he did to me and mother." I trailed off slightly. 

   "I understand that babes. You shouldn't forget what he has done. He did some horrible things to you and then just left when your mom got sick. Does his new family know about that stuff?" He asked in a soft voice. I shook my head.

   "No. Mom and I didn't really come out and say stuff. We knew he was a powerful man due to how high he was in his company, no one would of believed us." I explained. He gave a small nod analyzing what I had said.

   "He shouldn't be able to get away with what he did." He said pursing his lips.

   "He already has." I mumbled before putting my mug in the sink and walking out of the room. 

    Hello you amazing people! I am so very sorry for taking so long with an update. I kept looking at what I had typed and realized I had no idea what to write. It is a pain being in a writers block but I had really tried making this chapter as interesting as possible. I will work harder to post more updates I promise. 

   Since I am on Christmas break I will have plenty of time to write so I should have a few more updates here within the next few weeks. 

   I hope you all are having a wonderful Holiday! 

   I love you all so much!
