Originally if I posted both chapter 4 and 5 in one chapter it would have been 6k in words but I decided to split them.
-Ben's Point of View-
I heard Cupa's breath hitch as we walked through the door. I walked inside the house with her shortly behind.
A voice echoed from the living room. "Ben, is that you?" It sounded like my sister.
I responded back loudly. "Yeah it's me and I have a guest."
The footsteps grew louder as the person approached. Soon enough standing in front of us was my little sister. She had blonde hair that was tied into a pony tail. She had light blue eyes and looked to be about 10 years old. She wore a pink frilly dress that reached up to her knees.
"Hey Ben, who's she?" The girl pointed to Cupa who was hiding behind me.
"I-I'm Cupa..." Cupa said sheepishly, hiding behind me.
"She's really pretty!" My little sister said.
"Abby, is Ben home yet?" A voice echoed that sounded like my mother.
I turned to the direction of the kitchen. "Yeah mom, I'm home and I have a guest." I yelled loudly.
The door to the kitchen swung open and my mother came out. I was taller than her by an inch maybe two. Her hair was a wavy sandy blonde that went around her shoulders. She had a lighter shade of blue than my sister's eyes. She wore a blue blouse with her black pencil skirt so she probably just came from work.
She turned to me. "Ben, where did you go? You left the TV on when you left."
I shrugged off the glare she gave me. "Sorry, I went to Jerome's house and forgot about it."
She turned her gaze towards the girl behind me. "Who is that girl behind you?" She said, curiously eyeing the girl.
"She's a girl that came out of my video game." I said without any hesitation.
"Your video game?"
"I'm just kidding. Though I need to talk to you and dad about something."
My mom simply nodded and turned to my sister. "Abby go call daddy."
"Let's go talk in the living room." I led the way with Cupa and my mom following.
My dad came shortly, He was tall and built like what you would expect from an army man. He had black hair that had grey streaks. He looked to be the silent soldier kind of type but he was actually really outgoing and loud. My dad took his seat with my mom and they sat across from me and Cupa.
I cleared my throat loudly. "Okay let me skip straight to the subject... I want her to stay with us." I pointed at the silent hooded girl.
"What are you talking about?" My parents questioned.
"Well I simply have to take responsibility for her." I said.
"What do you mean take responsibility?" My dad asked.
My mom jumping to conclusions like always. "WHAT!? Your only 16! How could you do something like this!?" My mom yelled while my dad nodded to my mom's statement.
"I didn't think you would grow up so fast... You beat my age of 17-" My dad started but my mom slapped the back of his head.
"What the hell are you talking about!? Aren't you going to talk some sense into your son!"
I turned to Cupa who was watching my parents argue. "I think they misunderstood..." I whispered.
"What did they misunderstand?" Cupa asked.
"I'm pretty sure they think I slept with you." Cupa's face reddened as I said that.
"W-Why would they think that?"
"Well if we slept together... Sexually I mean then it could mean I got you pregnant... Which meaning I'm responsible for said pregnancy." I coughed loudly to get the attention of my parents. "Yeah... Guys I'm pretty sure I know what your thinking and it's not like that."
"What do you mean it's not like that?" My parents asked in unison.
"Last night when you guys were asleep... I was using my desktop and I looked out the window and saw her lying on the ground in the pouring rain." I turned to Cupa and mouthed the words "Just go with it." I then turned back to my parents. "I went outside to her and found her unconscious... I of course carried her into the house. I stayed up the whole night trying to keep her from shivering." My parents listened with full attention as I lied to them. "The next morning she woke up and I questioned about her... She says she doesn't remember anything except her name and age."
My mom was the first to speak. "Oh dear... Thank god our son was there." She said towards the hooded girl.
"Y-Yes, Ben has been very nice to me..." Cupa said quietly.
"Thank god our son we raised our son well to help people in need." My dad added.
"So she can stay with us?" I asked.
"Of course... Um dear what's your name?" My mother asked.
Cupa looked up at my mom. "My name is Cupa..."
"Why that's a pretty name!" My mom looked at the girl's clothes. "Cupa do you have any other clothes than what you're wearing?"
Cupa shook her head no. "These are the only ones I had when I woke up."
"Well dear, We'll go shopping tomorrow then." My mom smiled brightly at Cupa.
"I'll set up the guest room then." My dad said walking off.
My mom looked at her watch. "I'll start making dinner! Anything you would like Cupa?"
"I'm fine thank you." Cupa said simply.
My mom nodded. "Ask Ben if you need help with something." She started off into the kitchen.
"Okay now that's settled. I'll be up in my room..." I got up and walked towards the stairs with Cupa following. When we got up stairs I decided to do my weekend homework. I walked towards my school bag.
Cupa watched me curiously. "What are you doing?"
"I'm going to do homework. I don't even get why we get homework on weekends!" I shouted while scrambling through my stuff.
"What's homework?"
"It's stuff teachers give you to do. Though you'll have a first hand look at everything when you attend school." I stood up with my homework and brought it to my table. I looked through the papers laid out. I had Geometry and Language arts to work on. I sat down and got a pencil from the drawer.
"What's all those shapes and signs?" The girl behind me asked.
"This is geometry it's a type of math I guess. Don't worry you'll learn about math too since you're attending my classes." Time passed silently as I answered her questions about school and the subjects I take.
"So basically geometry is a type of math used to measure things that are impossible to measure with devices?" Cupa asked.
"That's pretty much it. My interpretation is that it's something useless that I'll never use in my life." I said. I spent a lot of time answering Cupa's questions that I couldn't finish the work faster than I wanted. "Finally last question! Find the dimensions of the rectangle that has a length 3 meters more that its width and a perimeter equal in value to its area? What the hell is this!?" I shouted in frustration.
Cupa loomed over me as she looked at the question. "Considering what you told me wouldn't the answer be 'W = 3 and L + 6'?"
I looked at my paper and calculated her answer. "That's correct! How the hell did you figure that out!?" I shouted, awestruck at how the girl who knew nothing about geometry before I told her ten minutes ago. Could solve a question that troubled me.
"I simply took what you told me and did it how you did the other problems..." Cupa said silently.
"Cupa your a super fast learner! Now when we go to school we'll be studying together a lot more!" I said excitedly.
I think it's kind of sad for me to depend on Cupa like this but who cares? Spending more time with Cupa is great!
I moved the finished geometry work aside and started on the language arts work. As time passed and I finished the work but only then did I notice the silence of the girl behind me. I turned to find her missing though when quickly looking around the room I spotted her sprawled over the bed asleep.
I got up and started towards the sleeping girl. I stood there just looking over the girl as she slept. Her quiet breathing as she slept with her hair ruffled around her face, her chest rising and falling with each breath, the way she slept was really calming to me. A girl like her perfectly defenseless like this could get easily attacked. Though my parents probably forgot about the whole two teenagers of the opposite sex living under the same roof thing.
Who am I Kidding? Most people would think that I did something to this girl if I told them she was staying at my house!
I thought silently. In truth I won't deny that I have an attraction to this girl who is now going to live with me. Though the attraction is probably just my primal desires for the girl. Though I do not wish to harm her in any way. I could only think of what other guys would do in my position right now. Though I am a man and I do have THOSE primal instincts but I will not let myself be that susceptible to them.
Even though I do draw scenes like that, have an occasional dirty joke or thought, and able to describe or write scenes like those in vivid detail because of my wild running imagination. That doesn't make me a pervert! I wonder if Cupa thinks I'm a pervert...
I sighed at the probably does think that because of my actions this morning. I mentally and physically slapped my self for doing that. Though I know all I can do now is change her standing point of me.
I heard a yell from downstairs that sounded like my mom. "It's time for dinner!"
I wonder if I should wake Cupa up?
I reached out to her and brushed off a stray hair covering her cheek. The action made her stir and her eyelids started to flutter. The girl stared at me drowsily with her amber eyes.
"Ben is that you?"
"Yeah, It's me..."
"What time is it?" She yawned quietly.
"It's dinner time..."
She made a movement that was her attempt to get out of the bed. "Okay I'll just get up..." She said, falling back into the sleep that gripped her.
I sighed at her attempt. I decided to just bring the dinner to her. I got downstairs and found my family eating already. The dinner was spaghetti and meat balls. There were two plates untouched on the table.
My mom turned to me. "Oh there you are! Where's Cupa?"
"She's fell a sleep in my room so I'm bringing her dinner." I picked up the plates and pocketed the utensils.
"We raised our son so well didn't we?" I heard my mom say.
"Yes we did, he's so caring for others." My dad echoed.
They think I'm a good son... Parents are so gullible!
I chuckled to the thought. I found the girl still sleeping the way I left her. I placed the plates on my work desk. I walked up to the girl and nudged her shoulder a bit. She stirred and opened her eyes drowsily.
"Hey sleeping beauty..." I cooed.
"B-Ben!?"
"Come on at least wake up so you can eat."
"I'm awake!" The girl said as she sluggishly propped herself off the bed.
"Good. The food's over there so you can eat on the table." I pointed to the plates. I got my plate off the table and sat down on my bed.
The girl silently went to the desk and sat down in front of her plate. I walked up to her and tapped her shoulder with the blunt end of the fork. She nodded her thanks as I gave her the utensils. I twirled the spaghetti around my fork and brought to my mouth. When I glanced over to the girl I found her watching me eat.
"Let me guess, you're having a hard time using your fork?"
The girl nodded silently before answering. "I'm still not used to it..."
I smiled at the girl. "It's okay. You'll get used to living here as time passes."
She twirled the fork mirroring my movements to her food. After finishing our food I decided to pass the time by telling a story.
"Cupa, ever heard the story of sleeping beauty?"
"Nope."
"Okay then. I'll tell you the story but I'll shorten it okay." I cleared my throat loudly. "Once upon a time there was princess. The princess fell into an eternal sleep due to a witch's curse."
"I wonder if the witches in Minecraftia can do that?"
"I don't know. Years after when the kingdom was covered in vines and ruins a prince showed up. The thing was there was a fairy that decided to add a loophole on the curse. If the princess gets kissed by her true love she wakes up!"
"Who's her true love?"
"The prince that showed up finds the sleeping princess and kisses her. She wakes up from her eternal sleep and the two get married happily ever after!"
"Wow what a nice story!" Cupa said excitedly.
"I like the original one better." I said with a sigh.
"What's the original one?"
"Do you really want to know?" Cupa nodded excitedly. "It's pretty much like the one I told you but instead it's a king that shows up and instead of kissing her... Rapes her and gets her pregnant."
"W-What kind of person would do that!" Cupa stammered.
"Let me continue... The king leaves to go back to his kingdom and nine months later the girl wakes up to her twins. Later the king comes back and finds the princess awake with the twins. The king says he's the one that impregnated her and then the princess happily accepts the king as her lover. The king's wife soon finds out about the affair and tries to stop it."
"T-This king has a wife too!?"
"Yes... Well point is the king tries to kill the princess and the twins. The king stops her and burns his wife at the stake. The princess and the king live happily ever after!" I said proudly.
"What kind of story is that!?"
"Those stories are called fairy tales but the one I told you is the original."
"Why did you tell me the story anyway?"
"I don't know. Take it as a warning. If you keep sleeping like how you usually do. I'll have to wake up the sleeping beauty." I said with a grin.
"T-That's..." Cupa stammered.
I chuckled at her reaction. "I'm just kidding you don't have to take it seriously."
"Oh it's just a joke..."
"Hey it's getting late you should head to your room now." I said looking at the wall clock.
"Okay, good night Ben." The girl started to walk off but I grabbed her by the wrist stopping her. She turned to me with surprise. "B-Ben?"
I knelt to the ground still holding her hand and kissed her hand softly. "Good night my princess..." I said softly.
She pulled her hand away with a bright crimson blush on her face. She didn't respond but instead ran out of the room into the hallway with heavy thuds following with each footstep. I took off my clothes until I was left only with my boxers on. I climbed in bed and let myself fall into a deep sleep.
Again I apologize of the long delay posting these chapters.
