Chapter 5

Whilst I was cleaning up everyone decided to head to the living room, I guess they didn't want to get in my way.

After I was finished I decided that I needed some fresh air. Too many people were in the house, a house which I just moved into. I was way out of my comfort zone.

I breathed in the cool air, calming myself down. I knew Raphael for a few hours but every time I looked at him I felt my stomach twist and turn, my mind was filled with his voice from the moment I heard him speak. Why did I think about a jerk like Raphael so much, after just meeting him as well? I wasn't gonna lie, the guy was good looking, extremely good looking. But I wasn't a shallow person, I would appreciate his looks but I wouldn't think about him like this. What was it about him?

I gave out a loud sigh and looked up to the sky. The birds were making a sound of fear, this worried me a little so I listened closer.

"Dammit" I muttered and rushed back inside. "Ma! Pa!" I shouted

"Samara can you not see that we are talking?" My mum said

"But-"

"No, it can wait"

I stood there irritated that they weren't going to listen to me. The conversation dragged on and I got more and more annoyed. "Mother! Father!" I said

All of my family members looked up in alarm, I never called my parents 'Mother' or 'Father'. I always called my mum 'Ma, mum or mummy' and my dad was either 'pa, pops, Dad or Daddy' . I felt mother and father were a distant way of addressing my parents so I never used them, except to grab their attention of course.

"What is it?" My dad said quickly

"It seems we will be accommodating 22 guests overnight" I sighed . Everyone in return raised an eyebrow. "A big storm is coming, quickly as well"

"How big?How quick?" My mother said in alarm

"Pretty big, sounds like its gonna be dangerous for anyone out on the streets but not so bad it will cause damage to the house. And it seems as if its gonna be here pretty soon, they are sending out emergency warnings to everyone" As soon as I said this the TV flashed with the emergency warning that I was talking about.

"I guess we are sleeping over then" Kareena said sweetly

"We have two spare rooms that is where the parents will sleep, the boys will squeeze into three rooms and all the girls can sleep in Samaras room" I didn't mind the situation, I knew all the girls. I was glad that I wasn't going to be sharing a room with people I had just met. "Kids get the blankets" my mother instructed

"Boys help them" Kareena also instructed to her kids.

I was about to shoot out of the room when my head felt dizzy , I had focused my gift too much and used it in a more advanced way than I was used to. I held my head up against the doorframe when I felt a cold hand that sent a spark of electricity circulating throughout my body.

I turned to see Raphael "hey you alright?" no, no, no! Do not be nice! I don't want to like you! I thought to myself with the strongest shields possible

"She's not used to using her gifts so much." My mother said politely "Sound is a difficult thing to control and using it to determine when the storm is coming and how strong the storm is going to be, has taken its toll on her"

I took in a deep breath and shook my head. And started to move again when Raphael grabbed my arm "Hey I don't think you should be moving so much"

"It's alright I'm not a little girl" damn! Why do I have to be so rude and sarcastic ?

You were born like that Theo said rudely

It took all of my will power not to retaliate to my little brother, so I settled for daggers, that probably didn't have any effect, instead.

I rushed out of the living room and rushed up the stairs getting all the quilts that had just been set away so nicely. We all know who's gonna end up putting them back I thought to myself sarcastically.

It was less than a minute before my brothers and all of the Benedict boys , except Jael of course, came rushing up the stairs to help me. I gave all of them a bunch of blankets and let them all disperse. The last one was Raphael, why was I not surprised?

"Look, I'm sorry! But you really don't look sixteen" he said. The guy didn't know what it meant to not be a condescending jerk.

I rolled my eyes "yeah, yeah I get that a lot"

"What can I do to make it up to you?" He was literally pleading now

I sighed "Look, it's alright, you're a guest and we barely know each other. Lets just leave it at that"

He looked hurt by my words which made me feel a pang of guilt, which I tried to get to go away by telling myself that he was a jerk first and he deserved it. But no matter how many times I told myself that , the guilt I felt never went away.


We all went to sleep early that night, we didn't think we could get to sleep once the storm got worse and louder. I was in a really deep sleep until I was awoken by the sound of our neighbours going at it like bloody rabbits. The sounds made me cringe and I thought to myself sometimes super hearing is the worst bloody thing in the world.

I sighed and clambered out of my room, avoiding stepping on any of the girls fingers or toes.

Once I got downstairs I decided to make myself some warm milk and sat down to flick through TV channels.

"Hey" a deep voice whispered from the living room door. A voice I immediately recognised as Raphael.

Be nice! I thought . I gave a soft smile and replied "Hi"

"What you doing up?" He asked

I raised an eyebrow "I could ask you the same thing " That was the most that I had said to him the whole day that wasn't rude or sarcastic.

He laughed at my response and said "I needed to pee and tried to go back to sleep, but failed" he smiled again. Boy was his smile gorgeous and flawless. It made my stomach do a little flip. "Your turn"

"Okay, okay." I scrunched my face remembering the reason I woke up "Apparently my new neighbours are sleepless rabbits" I said

"Please don't tell me you heard them"

"Oh, I heard every little thing, like I was in the room with them" I groaned

He laughed again, this time moving to sit next to me on the couch. "You know I really feel bad about being so rude to you. Theirs is just something about you that messes with my head" he looked horrified at what he just said "that sounded a lot better in my head" he was full on panicking, which made me laugh.

"It's alright I kinda understand what you mean" I looked him in the eyes. Which was a stupid move because the eyes completely devoured me. As soon as I looked into his eyes I wanted to hold on to him, kiss him. I snapped myself out of it quickly "Do you want some warm milk?" I needed to change the subject, quickly.

I seemed to snap him out of a daze because he looked slightly perplexed when I spoke "No I'm alright, thanks though"

I picked up the remote and flicked through channels until I saw "Bones" . I quickly got comfortable and stretched out my body, completely forgetting that Raphael was their. Crap!

"I'm really sorry, it's a habit I have when watching TV on the couch" I quickly pulled away but he pulled my legs back onto his lap with a smile on his face .

"It's alright, I don't mind ,really"

I really didn't focus on the show because the guy with his hand on my leg was a complete and utter distraction.


I pulled my legs off his and got up to go to the kitchen. I needed chocolate. I looked through the empty cupboards to find some chocolate hidden on the very top shelf. I let out a sigh and began to climb onto the kitchen counter, I had done it plenty times before, it was the only way to get things I needed on high shelves. As I got the chocolate Raphael walked into the room.

"Hey that's dangerous" he said quickly

"It's alright I do this sorta thing all the time" I replied nonchalantly, which was far from how I was on the inside

He scratched the back of his neck and I just wanted to stare at him, he was so gorgeous it should have been a crime. Instead I looked at the chocolate, that was close enough right? Chocolate that was already in my hand that I could eat and wouldn't leave me with a bitter taste afterwards. Raphael was not only out of my league he was also a jerk at times, which meant it would only ever hurt me if I liked the guy.

"Here let me get you down" he said as he wrapped his hands around my waste.

"It's alright I can get down by myself" did he not understand what his touch did to me?

"Nope I insist" he pulled me off of the counter and placed me on the floor.

I looked away, scared that my cheeks were probably blushing quite a bit now. "Thank you" I muttered and rushed into the living room.

I sat back in my same spot on the couch, this time I didn't spread myself out. Raphael came out of the kitchen to sit next to me on the couch with a cup of warm milk in his hands.

"I thought you didn't want warm milk?"

"I didn't but then I thought I will never get to sleep if I don't have any" he replied

I let out a frustrated sigh "ya'kno I could of made it for you, my mum will kill me if she finds out I let you do something like that yourself"

"Why?" He said with a raised eyebrow

I sat further into the couch "Because you're a guest" attempting to impersonate my mum.

"Okay you made this hot milk, but that is only if you give me some chocolate" he said with a devious smile sprawled across his face

"Are you blackmailing me to get chocolate?!" My eyebrows were furrowed, nobody asked for my chocolate or anything that was sweet and belonged to me. I had a sweet tooth, huge one at that.

"Maybe" he popped the 'b' which did nothing but irritate me.

I let out a frustrated sigh and broke off a tiny bit of chocolate, yes he was good looking but no way did he deserve a big piece of chocolate.

"Your stingy"

"Uhuh and what? Chocolate is the god of foods! Your lucky your getting any!" I said. Nothing came between me and chocolate.

"Okay, I'll note that if I make you angry again, which will probably be very soon, to get you chocolate"

I held up my index finger, signalling I wanted to speak "I'm not that easy, I'll accept the chocolate sure but you would not be forgiven, I would need both chocolates and sweets. Like a load of them!" That may have been a lie but I was gonna squeeze out all the possible sweets and chocolate I could get.

He threw back his head and laughed, I mentally wished that I could replay that moment over and over again. As soon as I did, I wanted to slap myself for thinking such pathetic things.

After he finished laughing he popped the chocolate in his mouth and downed the warm milk. "I should try and go back to sleep now, and so should you" he said as he got out of the couch. I felt slightly pained that he was leaving me, but I quickly dismissed it.

"Yeah your right, but I think imma stay down here" I said

"You sure you want get scared?" He said sarcastically. That made me want to punch him again.

"Naa I'm fine, don't trip on the way up the stairs" I gave him a bitter smile and he turned to walk out of the room.

"Yeaa I'll be careful. Night Samara" Why did my name sound so amazing coming from his mouth?

"Night Raphael"

When he was out of sigh I let out a sigh and started to massage my temples. What was wrong with me? I went from not knowing the guy, to hating him, to thinking about him constantly, to wanting him to stay with me, to wanting to punch him again, then loving the way he said my name. What the heck was up with my emotions?
