"Tell me what happened" Benjamin said shaking her slightly.
"Well.. um it's its.." she a deep breath then said "Anita and Connor have been dating behind my back."
" Those two sneaky little bastards" he cursed "why am I not surprised."
For a minute Cassandra had thought he was going to say that he'd told her because it was evident he wasn't fond of Anita much less Connor whom he was hostile towards. So she was sort of relieved when he didn't, perhaps he wasn't so annoying after all…
" See, I knew it ! I even told you countless times but you just refused to listen to the voice of wisdom."
…Scratch that he was still the same.
" That dick head, I'll make sure he suffers for this"
"Nope, just let it go , he's not worth it" she said because she knew he would very probably gang up with his friends and beat Connor and she didn't want any trouble because Connor was still the son of a rich man while they were just a humble family.
"No way I'm just going let him off like that he needs to be taught a lesson for messing with my elder sister." He said grinding his teeth.
" oh.. lord Benjamin please just let this pass I really do not want any problems " she said imploringly and making puppy eyes.
"Please don't give me that look cassy , he deserves to be taught a lesson "
5,4,3,2..
" oh, fuck it cassy" he said sighing in resignation. " But I don't promise to let the bastard go free if our paths cross again " he added.
Well the chance of that happening was slim so she decided to leave it that.
"Come here" he said opening his arms to give her a hug. She moved in and he patted her back slowly. "You know you always got me " he said reassuringly.
" Yeah" she said nodding and wiping her eyes dry.
" Did you confront them about it " he asked.
"Yeah and Anita even pretended she didn't know who I was " she scoffed.
Benjamin clenched his fists in anger which didn't go unnoticed by her.
" it's ok Benji, they're not worth our time "
" Mmm"
"Does Antonio know about it yet " he asked.
"Nope, haven't told him yet " she replied.
"He would probably hear about it from the workers there " Benjamin said.
" Yeah, probably"
"So what brings you to my room?"she said detaching herself from him.
" Eehm… I came to see you, what else?"
She stared at him flatly.
" Fine, I'm hungry " he said.
" There's food in the kitchen " she stated.
" Well, I may have lost a bet to my friends and have to treat them to lunch" he said.
" Go on " she prompted.
" Big sis, please lend me some money, I promise when I grow up I'll pay you back"he said making puppy eyes.
She scoffed, in less than a minute he'd changed from the protective younger brother to the cute harmless younger brother.
