Orlando watched Benjamin. He let him yell and throw a fit without butting in or saying nothing. Claire kissing him had calmed him down a bit. "Call the cops, not probable cause bud, you think someone like me doesn't know the law?" Orlando scoffed and rolled his eyes. "She's coming over tomorrow whether you like it or not." He said stubbornly. Orlando took one last look at Benjamin. He knew he could take him, he looked like a damn Ken doll to him. "See ya later Benny boy, tell Claire I miss her already." He taunted before driving off.

Orlando pulled a U-turn and started driving towards his home again. Once again at a stop light he grabbed his phone and texted Claire. Youre a cutie. Hope he isn't too douchy. I'll see you tomorrow I promise. It will be fun, I already have some ideas, you can come up with your own too. he sent the text and smiled before sending another. Save those lips just for me Orlando chuckled at that text, driving off to his house. When he got there he headed inside, stripping down to his boxers. He let Hades outside, and headed up to bed. A few minutes later Hades was with him in bed, and Orlando was passed out.

"GWENDOLYN!" Benjamin yelled banging on her door. "WHAT!?" She came out of her room not caring how loud she was being since none of her family but Benjamin was home. "You aren't leaving this house tomorrow." "Who's going to stop me?" "I am!" They bantered back and forth like that until Claire sighed and said, "Whatever, Ben." She shut the door and grabbed her phone and saw the texts and smiled at them. She hoped he wasn't too tired out or hated Ben too much. He meant well, just in the wrong way.

Claire texted him back Thanks. He isn't. He's just too protective for anyone to like him right now. See you tomorrow. What time? And These lips are sealed. Claire thought she was awfully clever coming up with that on her own and smiled as she crawled into bed playing her music and fell asleep listening to 5 Seconds of Summer. She awoke in the morning and yawned finding she had bed head from hell. She smiled and went to go shower and brush her teeth. It was eleven already. She smiled figuring she must have been out late yesterday with Orlando. She hadn't even looked at the time before she passed out.

Orlando was in bed, curled up with Hades when his phone went off and woke him up. He groaned and rolled over to snatch the phone up off his bedside table, smiling groggily at the text. How about 1? And to get out,do something to your brother that you know will make him take a shower, spill juice in him or something Oflandosent before collapsing back into the bed, passing out once again.

Orlando woke up at noon the next day, his grumbled bitterly to himself as he only had an hour to get ready. He had a bathroom attached to his bedroom which he went into and begun to shower. He washed his hair, and used his best body wash, the one that smelt really good. Once out he styled his hair in its typical greaser style, put on some cologne. He also put on a black shirt, shorts, and his leather jacket. Around 12:30 he texted Claire. Good to go? How about food? I haven't eaten yet. He sent. Then heading downstairs and letting Hades out.

@ BadStreetBoys

Claire smiled and texted back a yes. She then got ready, but not all the way. She then went down and 'accidentally' knocked him into his drink which spilled all the way on his khaki pants and made him smell like three week old spaghetti. To which he simply sighed and went up to take a shower. She then finished getting ready, grabbing her phone and purse and texted him back with a Yes. Same.

Claire was wearing a plain blue sundress along with white sandals. She had her hair up into a pony tail and was wearing her makeup as just eyeliner and some pink lipstick. She heard the car beep and went to the front and hurried into the car before saying, "Hey." She smiled before saying, "He won't let me out the rest of the weekend I hope you know. So this is probably the last time until Monday." She sighed sadly before saying, "You smell good." She had on her sweet pea perfume herself. She was wearing this.

@ JesterOfGenocide;
Orlando casually waited outside the house,scrolling through his Instagram feed when he hear his car door open, then shut. He smiled brightly, leaning across the seat and kissing her cheek. "Well hello there sweetheart." He said and smile, leaning back into his own as he drove off, u-turned, and headed towards his own place. "Well I mean, we could solve that problem." He said and shrugged. "Make him think this bad boy corrupted you even more by sleeping with you. But in reality you just stayed over with me and Hades.

Orlando couldn't help but chuckle at that rhoight. He parked his car in the driveway. Hoping out and walking around to open her door. Orlando headed inside with Claire, and went right to his kitchen. "I'm hungry, are you? I can make us something." He suggested. Begginf nt to look around his kitchen, it was obvious that Orlando was a guy and lived on his own. Almaty everything was microwaveable, and very simple.

@ BadStreetBoys
Claire smiled feeling him kiss her cheek and kissed his back. "Hey." She told him smiling back at him and put her seat belt on. She then came to the realization that they were heading to his place. Looking up at him she raised an eyebrow listening and then blinked and said, "I think he might actually have a stroke. Might as well. I don't want to go back to him screaming at me." She admitted sadly and smiled and said, "I hope Hades likes to cuddle." She said excitedly. She really adored Hades since he was cute and sweet.

Claire smiled when he opened the door for her and went inside with him and looked around and said, "Can I help?" She didn't really get to cook much considering. She smiled and said, "Because I don't think I'd like it if I didn't help." She crossed her arms behind her back and leaned on the balls of her feet as she watched him awaiting an answer from him. She bit her lip in anticipation. She had noticed that everything was microwaveable. "I don't know how to cook either, so I mean if neither of us do, we could at least help each other out." She giggled at the thought.

@ JesterOfGenocide;
Orlando raised an eyebrow at her and chuckled. "Well Hades loves to cuddle me, but I guess I'll have to learn to share." He said with a wink. Orlando looked through for something beeakfast like and laughed. "Well our reason is completely different. You never had to, I just don't care." He teased with a big smile. "But I'd love help from you." He murmured. Orlando grabbed some bread, eggs, and microwaveable bacon.

Once the pair began to cook Orlando was happy. He didn't seem like the bad guy people made him out to be. He was playful, funny, and sweet to her. He also adored his dog. Sneaking Hades pieces of bacon and chuckling as the dog barked for more. He really was just like anyone else. But this was also due to the fact he liked Claire, and no one was pissing him off. His anger was like a switch and he wasn't above hurting someone. When their cheesy breakfast was cooked he sat down, eating with claire. "So you wanna go out? Or just do the photo shoot? I have a room I was renovating so it's all white and we can take pictures in their and edit them
On my laptop?"

@ BadStreetBoys

"I don't think he'll have any problem with cuddling me." Claire laughed and smiled at him. She got excited as he said she could help. She began to help him searching things on google when she didn't know how to do it and then completing it. She liked the fact that she got to help for once. She cracked an egg and started to make scrambled eggs. She snuck Hades food when Orlando wasn't looking and giggled at the dog, having fun with this.

Claire smiled as she sat down wondering what everyone's big deal was with Orlando. So he wasn't exactly citizen of the year, he was sweet and was pretty normal. She looked up at him and said, "I don't really care either way, but if we want to actuall have good like to do the photo shoot as you call it, we might want to do it during the day considering lighting and all that. So I propose if we go out, we do it after the shoot." Claire smiled at him before continuing eating her eggs and bacon. She then realized she had left her stuff at her house and shrugged. He could deal with seeing her without makeup. She had makeup wipes in her purse in case she ever smeared something.

@ JesterOfGenocide;
Orlando was a big eater. He was enjoying breakfast, but more so enjoying being with Claire. "Alrigt we can do that first. And i am gonna call it that because we're gonna look great." He said and winked. "Gonna be a 9/10 because you're a ten and I'm a negative one." He said and snickered. "Plus it's just like atupid movie scenes. Any you wanna do?" He asked between bites. "I love photography and that shit."

Orlando finished up his meal and put the dishes in the sink. He then took her hand and led Claire upstairs. He led her past his bedroom, and into the room he had been fixing. It was completely white, bright and plau . He went to his room and grabbed a camera and its stand that he had, and brought it to the room, setting it up on one end. "What first?"

@ BadStreetBoys
Claire didn't eat breakfast usually. She ate the breakfast though finding it to be really really good. Hearing Orlando, Claire giggled and said, "Alright." She smacked his arm and said, "You are SO not a negative one." She heard his snicker and shook her head sighing and laughed adn said, "I don't do movies very much anymore." She smiled at him and told him she'd think about some and smiled once more and said, "That's cool."

She put her dish in the sink before feeling him take her hand and lead her upstairs. She saw the white room and had to take a moment for her eyes to adjust and went, "Jesus." She then adjusted to it before looking at him and raised an eyebrow and said, "I told you, I have no clue. Not the biggest movie person in the world." She laughed before thinking and said, "You pick. I don't mind. For the record, usually I'm not this indecisive, but I don't do movies." She laughed before leaning against the wall her sundress being a swing dress where the skirt of the dress swung around and came right back.

@ JesterOfGenocide;
Orlando couldn't help but laugh. "How can you not like movies? They're the best!" He exclaimed, fidgeting with his camera. Once it was set he nodded to himself and walked in front of it. "Well first, there's just one I want to take and make my own." He said and took her hand, pulling her closer to him. He put one hand on her hip, and used the other to caress her cheek before leaning down and pressing a passionate kiss to Claire's lips. The camera snapped a photo but he continued it for a few more seconds before gently pulling away. "You've got quite the lips." He said and turned red.

Orlando took pictures with her from Classic movies like Grease, Titanic, and some others. And after a bit he paused and ran a hand through his hair. "None yet? I'm surprised you don't want a cheesy love flick picture where he love interest is naked. I have quite the body." He said and winked, pulling his shirt up just a bit, revealing just the tip of his 'v' and six pack.

@ BadStreetBoys
"It's not that I don't like them it's that I get bored, because the boring parts overwhelm the good parts." Claire told him shrugging halfheartedly. She couldn't explain it. Watching him move in front of the camera she blinked and frowned at his words confusion starting to overcome her face. Feeling him grab her hand and pull her closer, she smiled when his lips were on hers, his hand on her cheek and his other hand on her waist pulling her closer. She laid a hand on his shoulder kissing him back, surprised she didn't need to stand on her tippy toes to reach him. Feeling him pull away she smiled and said, "Just be glad I don't have lipstick on today." She giggled.

Claire was confused with some of the poses like the Titanic one. She'd never actually watched the movie but she had definitely seen pictures from it. "I've never watched Titanic to be quite honest and oh please." She said laughing at him seeing he pulled his shirt up. She then smiled and said, "Hmm maybe next time." She raised an eyebrow before smiling. She brushed her hair back before grabbing her pony tail holder and grabbing all of her hair and putting it into a high pony tail at the top of her head. Her hair was in it's natural curly state leaving the pony tail in curls. Her phone went off and she looked down to see who it was. Her brother was asking where she was and told her she had better not have gone off with Orlando. Rolling her eyes she just ignored it leaving it on Read.

@ JesterOfGenocide;
Orlando chuckled and shrugged. "You know it's always welcome. I can be a bit full of myself." He said and snickered. Orlando walked over to his camera, pulling it off the tripod. "Come on let's go edit some." He said with a smile, heading towards his spare room. It had a desk in the corner, with a chair, and his laptop on it. In the middle of the room it had a small bed and a cot that could roll out from underneath the bed. He went to the closet and pulled out another chair, setting it besides the first. He used his USB cable and plugged the camera into the laptop as he began to upload the photos. "I can send them to you too." He paused and ran a hand through his hair. "I'm sure you'd like the first one. I sure do." He teased

Once the photos were uploaded he sent the raw ones to his own phone, before opening up the editor he had. And pulled a few up. On the picture he had taken of their kiss Orlando enhanced it, then across the top he out the words 'sociopathic tendencies' he turned the laptop to face her and busted out laughing. Orlando finished up the other ones, showing her and comparing them to the original photographs from the movies, or the movie posters. Every so often he checked his phone. But afterwards sent her the raw pictures. "Could send that to big bad Ben if he asks where you are." He said and chuckled.

@ BadStreetBoys
Claire laughed and said, "Just a bit?" She teased him before smiling watching him take off the camera from the tripod. SHe smiled, following him gently and sat down in teh chair he pulled out and said, "Thank you." She smiled and said, "Yes! Send them to me, definitely." A smile on her face she looked over his shoulder as he edited them not wanting to be left out of this. Watching him upload and edit them was really fun to her. She smiled seeing them and laughed and said, "I think I like the first one, too." Smiling at him she returned her electric blue eyes back to the screen wanting to see all of them. She wondered if Orlando danced.

Claire laughed seeing the banner he had put up at the top that said, 'Sociopathic Tendencies.' "That's perfect. Honestly." Claire giggled before watching him start to do the others and nodded and said, "Hmm, I think he might actually have a stroke. He nearly did last night." She told him remembering how she had kissed him last night. She then giggled before checking her phone seeing him send her the raw photos. She sent all of them to Ben and said, Sorry Bennie. Though, this is where I am. Have fun. Mwah! She sent him a kissy emoji along with the message before putting her phone up and said, "Now we wait for the angry text messages and threats that are going to come from all of that." She giggled before smiling at the room she was in. It was cozy.

@ JesterOfGenocide;
Orlando grinned like a child when she agreed that it was funny. "I'm gonna print this out and hang it in my room." He said and laughed again before saving all of the photos and shutting down his laptop. "I could tell he was not to happy." Orlando said with a grin. He looked down at her phone, snickering at her message. "And the best one sent first. How wonderful." He said and stretched out his back in the chair. "We could go sit downstairs with Hades while waiting for hell to break loose." He suggested.

Orlando took Claire's hand and walked down to his living room with her. Hades came out from a small room towards the back and jumped up on the couch next to the pair. Orlando turned the TV on and sat with Claire, putting his arm around her. He turned on the news, just to keep it as background noise. "I can tell already he will never like me. Oh well. I'm a card." He said grinning, pulling his own phone out, setting the picture of them as her contact picture. He also messages a group chat he had and told them to cancel his meetings, he would be busy this weekend. Orlando glanced up when he heard a thing about a drug bust in the upper part of town, and grinned slightly. They were one of his rivals dealers, which meant more business for him. And it was from one of their clubs, which meant more for him. Orlando liked night clubs,they brought in money for him. He thought about taking Claire to one tonight. But he also would have to keep a close eye on her. He didn't want anyone else trying to get with her. And he would love to see if she could dirty dance like he could.

@ BadStreetBoys
Claire just smiled to herself seeing him grinning and blinked looking up at him and laughed when he said he was hang it up in his room and said, "You do that then." She grinned at him back. She smiled seeing him shutting his laptop and looked up and said, "No he was not. You should've heard him when you left. What did he say to you by the way? He was out there a few more minutes after I left." She told him and watched him and smiled once more. "What hell to break loose? You mean Ben? Sure." She laughed and stodd up with him.

Walking down the stairs, being careful just to walk one at a time since she was in fact in heels. Though if they did go to a club she felt like she wasn't in the correct clothes, granted were there any good clothes to go clubbing in? Smiling she sat down beside Orlando and grinned at Hades, "Hey you! Did you miss me?!" She said and giggled as Hades started to lick her face and smiled playing with him and scratching his ears and such. "What do you mean by card?" She asked laughing since she'd never really heard that expression before. "Like plain?" She questioned and saw him take his phone out and said, "Business?" Looking up at the television she saw that a drug bust had happened and was sure whoever the gang was they were going to be really pissed. Tilting her head she watched and said, "I don't think the person reading the news cast knows what they're doing. They're really monotonous and boring. Plus on top of it they look confused whenever they speak about something. She wrinkled her nose at this before looking back up at Orlando, extremely close to him at the moment.

@ JesterOfGenocide;
Orlando glanced over at Claire as she spoke, just shrugging. "Not much really, just told me to stay away or he would call the cops. No biggie." He said and grinned, rubbing her shoulder gently. When the pair sat down Hades excitedly barked and curled up with them, nuzzling up with with Claire. When she asked what he meant by his expression, Orlando raised an eyebrow. "Well no." He paused and bit his lip, he wasn't entirely sure how he would explain the expression, it was just something he used. "I'm funny, sweetheart, that's all."

Orlando was watching the news when she started talking again. "It's a new guy. He is an idiot." He said and rolled his eyes, not even covering it right. But that's fine with me, not my guys that got busted and are idiots now. It's his." He said and checked his phone again to make sure that the plans were canceled. When he looked back down at her, because of their closeness the couples faces were barely inches away from each other. He couldn't help but flush red and grin at her. Orlando gently reached over with his other hand, moving a stray hair behind her ear. "Hey, can you dance?" He asked and bit his lip. "I'd love to take you to one of my clubs tonight."

@ BadStreetBoys
Claire frowned hearing him tell her what Bennie had said and seeing him roll his shoulders into a shrug didn't make her feel any better. She sighed and nodded before smiling softly feeling him rub her arm gently. Giggling as Hades barked and curled up before nuzzling into her. She stroked his hair gently still lightly playing with his ears. "Oh. I've never heard the expression." She told him watching him bite his lip and smiling gently to him letting him silently know that she understood before looking back down at Hades and pressed a kiss to his nose before stroking his ears.

Claire watched and said, "He has a squidward nose." Realizing what she said, Claire's face turned red and she giggled. She hadn't even meant to make a Spongebob reference. Looking up at him and said, "Whose guys?" She seemed confused. She felt the heat from his face and the breath from his words as they were simply inches apart. She felt him push a stray silver hair away and tuck it behind her left ear and smiled and said, "I like to dance, but I'm afraid I'm not in dancing clothes. Never dance in a dress, it always causes trouble." Claire said as if she were reciting something. Her mother had taught her that. She smiled at him and said, "if I could manage to get home and put something on, I could sneak through the back. Just park like a block away and I'll meet you there. Or I could walk to your club. I like walking." She smiled up at him, now biting her own lip.

@ JesterOfGenocide;
Orlando chuckled softly and grinned, he watched her eyes carefully, a small smile,on his face as he could almost sense how she was feeling about how close they were right now. "The rival gangs guys." He murmured and leaned back a bit. Grinning to himself. Orlando liked to these as much as he liked to show people off. "You learn that?" He asked, taking out his phone and replying to a few messages, then looking back at Claire. "That could work. I'll drive you. I don't want you walking around town alone again. There is a,ways the possibility of you meeting her mother strikingly handsome giant while you do." He said with a wink and grinned again.

Orlando turned off the television and got up, walking towards the back of his living room as he grabbed another pair of keys. "Let's go for a ride on my motorcycle. Well stop at your place while we are." He said and grinned. Walking back to the couch he gave Hades a few treats and offered a hand to Claire, "just don't get caught by big bad Ben. He won't be happy after getting those photos. Did he reply anyway?" Orlando asked. He grabbed a pack of gum off his coffee table, taking a piece out and offering one to Claire.

@ BadStreetBoys
Claire looked him straight in the eyes wondering what he was thinking. She could never tell with what people were thinking. She wished she had a way to just listen to people's thoughts and such but she also found that invasive. Smiling softly she said, "Bet you're happy since it's your Rival Gang. What is their name anyways?" She asked curiously. She watched him lean back and smiled softly. "My mother told me. I didn't listen to her and the whole night I was out dancing I had a hand up my skirt." She told him gently and watched im and said, "Oh please. What's the real reason why you don't want me walking around alone?" She had a mischievous glint in her eyes at this point.

"Ooh fancy." She told him and smiled before saying, "Don't worry. You're coming in with me. I know the back way. We'll be in and out." She told him before looking up at him again and kissed Hades before taking Orlando's hand and walking with him. She took the piece of gum, "thank you." She stuffed it in her mouth starting to chew on it and sighed hearing him, "Just a bunch of stuff about how you were a gang leader and how you could kill me, or how you're just using me for money and all of that." She murmured shaking her head. "The part that kind of hurts is the fact that he doesn't even think that I've thought about it and mulled it over in my own head." She told him shrugging gently. She smiled at him gently before touching his face.
