Dirty Little Brat

by ChaShiree M

  The second time was when Donny Laren, the boy she had been crushing over for all of tenth grade, called her a fat bitch when she asked him to the Sadie Hawkins dance. Which brings me back to the looks she and Ramone were giving one another.

  “Lara, tell me what happened?” She sniffs and tries to wipe her face. When she looks up at me, my heart breaks.

  “I don't know why I keep doing this to myself. Why can’t I ever get it. No one will ever want me. I am fat, stupid, and I mean let’s get real, there is nothing remotely sexy about a virgin who has never even been kissed. I just ...I guess I thought…. never mind. It doesn’t matter. I am here for you. This is about you. So, what should we do first? We don’t have much time.” I love her as much as anyone could love a sister. But I am not going to let this go.

  “Lara. Talk to me. I am assuming this has something to do with Ramone. What happened on the flight over here?” She hesitates for a moment. Her mind trying to come up with different excuses she thinks she can get away with. She only takes this long when there is something, she doesn’t want to tell me.

  “Nothing. Ok. I thought we had a moment when he picked me up. I mean I swear we did. My body began to tingle, all over. If you know what I mean, and my heart began to beat out of my chest. It didn’t hurt that he looked at me like I was the syrup to his pancake. So, I decided to be brave and try to be confident like you are always telling me to do. I know I am by no means a flirt or anything, but when I asked him about himself, he answered. We had a conversation and when the flight attendant guy came into the area and asked if we needed anything, he lingered a bit talking to me and the growl coming from Ramone gave me hope. So, when the attendant left, I got a bit braver. I leaned in to kiss him and that is when he laughed at me. He fucking laughed at me Lexi. Told me I wasn’t his type. He liked women. Not little girls. He said there are a lot of guys who would like someone that looked like me and walked away. What the hell was I thinking Lexi?” I hug her. Rocking her back and forth. I have no idea what she was thinking, but I do know what I am thinking. My soon-to-be new brother-in-law has got one coming.

  Don’t fuck with the people I care about. Especially not someone as sweet as Lara.

  “Married huh? You sure about this big bro?” I knew we were going to have this conversation.”

  “Yes. I am sure.”

  “I figured you would say that. I mean I know you like her and all and looking at her I can totally see why. Doesn’t mean you have to marry her.” I turn my head in his direction, as the red haze comes over my eyes.

  “You will watch what you say about my wife. Do you understand? I will not say this again Ramone. I love you, little brother. But nothing will match that of how I love Lexi.” He walks backwards a bit holding his hands up in surrender.

  “Whoa. Calm down. I just needed to be sure. No disrespect meant. Start over?” I nod my head as I take a few deep breaths. “You will see little brother. When you finally decide to take the woman meant to be yours everything else will cease to exist but her.” He shakes his head as he looks off into the horizon.

  “Nah. That love shit is not for me. This life we live Sax, is not meant for women. The wrong enemy finds out there is someone in our lives, and they become a target to get to us. I don’t need that shit. You and I both know, someone takes what belongs to me and their whole family, their parents down to their newborn baby better hide. No. It’s better I stay single.” He says the last part a bit wistfully. Wishing I am sure that he didn’t already know who his ‘one’ was. I pat him on the back letting him know I hear him.

  “Have you found Julissa?” My little sister is in for it when we get our hands on her.

  “Sì. Papì found her. He won’t say what happened. Only that we will take care of it after your wedding. Mamì was crying so it can’t be anything good. That dumb fuck better hope dad saves his ass. I have been itching to shed some blood lately.” Crazy fuck.

  “Listen. There will be no blood shed during my wedding. Got it?” He shrugs his shoulders at me.

  “Whatever. What do you need me to do, since I am here?”

  “We are taking the girls shopping for their dresses, so they can have them sent over to the villa in the morning. Our suits will be brought to us tonight during the dinner. What time is everyone getting here?”

  “Well originally it was supposed to be tomorrow. But mama decided she wanted to have an engagement/meet the family dinner tonight so they should be here in a few hours. Yay!!!” He says sarcastically.

  “Is Julio coming?” I always worry about him. My other little brother. The need to have him be as far removed from the family as possible for legal reasons, I sometimes worry as my dad does, that it will one day create a gulf between all of us.

  “Yes. I talked with him this morning. He is coming in with mom and dad.”

  “Really??”

  “Yeah. Something about needing to talk to us. I don’t know. Something is definitely up with him. Guess we will find out when he gets here.”

  I am about to respond when the girls come out of the house. Immediately my body becomes aware as the reason for the sir in my lungs comes into my orbit. I barely notice her friend other than to see that Lexi has put makeup on her and given her an outfit.

  “You ready to go baby?” Lexi nods her head at me, but she is looking at my brother and I am not beyond admitting that it is making me itch. No other man should be in her purview but me. She walks up to me and wraps her arms around me, but her gaze hasn’t left her friend and Ramone. Something is up.

  “Lex, what’s going on?” I whisper in her ear. I need to know if I should be kicking my brothers ass right now or not.

  “Your brother is an ass. That’s what. But I got something for him.” The venom in her voice shouldn’t turn me on, but fuck if it doesn’t make me want to fuck her right here on the ground. She walks up to Lara and pulls her into the car. I quirk my eyebrow up at my brother, but he simply looks at me, emotionless, and slides into the front seat. This day keeps getting more and more interesting. He only acts like that when there is something he wants and can’t have, or he has to do something he doesn't want to do.

  Once we are seated in the car, I notice the girls have their head together whispering and shit. Sometimes I forget how young she is. Lexi looks up at me and cocks her eyebrow in the rearview mirror. My hackles rise. She is up to something.

  “Lara and I want to go clubbing tonight. The local club is having a fantasy night. We haven’t been out in ages. What do you fellas say?” My mouth opens to tell her absolutely fucking not, but her eyes give away everything. I can see what she isn’t saying. Something about this request, has something to do with Ramone and her friend. I look for any reason to fuck with him and because I know something, I am sure she doesn’t, I figure what the hell.

  Ramone looks over at me, waiting on me to nix the idea which makes my choice even better. “Sure. By then my sister and brother will be here. We can go after dinner with the rest of my family tonight baby.” Ramone’s jaw clenches, as his hands white knuckle the steering wheel. Oh, this is going to be so much fun.

  “Thanks, soon-to-be husband,” she giggles and so does her friend. Why do I feel like I just somehow got played?

  I forgot how awful shopping with women is. We have gone to at least twenty different stores. The only one I haven’t had to go into so far is the one where she found her wedding dress. We are currently at the lingerie store. I can’t stop myself from going in. I know she is going to be trying on lacy shit and my cock is demanding a front row view. I look over at Ramone and tell him to watch everything. Walking into the store, I barely note the women fumbling over themselves trying to catch my attention. I walk up to Lara and ask her which one she’s in. She points, giggles and walks out of the store.

  “Lara what do you…...Oh. Hi.” She says her mouth set in an ‘O’ shape as her pupils begin to dilate.

  “Wow. Baby you look...” I can’t even form
words. She looks like Jessica Rabbits teenage daughter. Holy shit. I can feel the tip of my cock trying to breach the zipper opening to reach his pussy.

  “Can I help you, sexy?” She says pulling down the front of her bra. She begins to sway back and forth on the wall, enticing me to take her right here in the dressing room. I would be a dumb ass not to. I walk further in, unzipping my pants. I drop them and grab the back of her neck. Pulling her into me our mouths join the seduction and hell if I almost forget we are in a public place. She bites my lip, as she rubs herself against me.

  “Bend over Lexi and hands on the wall.” I whisper in her ear.

  “Wh-what?” she asks her brain in a sex fog.

  “I see those are crotchless. I can’t wait. Bend the fuck over.” She shivers as she realizes I am serious. Placing her hands on the wall, she bends over and looks over her shoulder.

  “Like this, Sir?” She taunts me.

  Smack. Smack. I taunt her right back. “YES!” I answer as I slam my cock inside her drenched, tight hole.

  “Ooooo...Shit…” She screams. I cover her mouth with one hand.

  “This is going to be quick baby. I have been holding it all day.” I tell her before pulling out and ramming it back in. Removing my hand from her mouth, I grab both of her hips, in and out, groaning as she squeezes me with each movement. My thumb slips inside her ass, the need to have her full of me from every angle, paramount.

  “Sax...so deep...oh fuck…. don’t stop.” she moans rolling her head back and forth.

  “Never baby. I am never going to quit. I was born to be inside of you. Fuck. Lexi. so, fucking warm and wet. Ah shit baby.”

  The sweat dripping down my face falls on her back and the possessiveness inside me soars. I rub it into her back, making sure my very DNA soaks into her skin. Leaning over her, I grunt. “I’m about to blow baby. Cum with me.” reaching around, I flick her clit as my mouth latches onto her neck, the taste of her blood hitting my tongue as I shoot my breeding cream inside her.

  “Ahhhhhhh….” she screams her neck falling forward. We both hit the floor and look at each other and laugh. I love this girl. We get up, dressed and hit more stores.

  Currently, we are waiting outside of the shoe store, because apparently, we can't go in there either. Thank god. But seriously, Ramone and I look like fucking bellhops walking around behind them holding their shit. “What did we find out about that other situation?” I ask my brother while focusing on the store making sure she is always in my line of sight. I am always on alert when I am out, but I find myself being even more on edge now that Lexi is with me. But especially when she is not within an arm's reach.

  “It’s as you suspected. The Smith’s are into some shady shit. One of which is being mob connected. They have been funneling cocaine through the ports along with underage girls for their side business. I have called my friend Eco. You remember him, right?” I look at Ramone and nod my head. Of course, I remember him. His older brother Benecio and I went to business school together years ago. We became quite close. Having realized who one another was, we still occasionally talk. We introduced our younger siblings one summer. Hoping they too, would learn how to be there for one another but be discreet.

  “Yes. I remember. How is his brother?”

  “Not sure. But he did tell me, his father is sending him and his brothers on a task that involves each of them kidnapping the daughter of a rival family,” he shrugs his shoulders as he turns back to look inside the store. I chuckle marveling how normal something like that is to the both of us. I turn and see Lexi and Lara laughing at one another and my heart skips a beat. Seeing my woman so happy and safe, is more than I can ask for. I am about to finish this conversation with Ramone when the girls come out of the store.

  “Hey baby.” I pull her to me and take her mouth against mine. I hear the bags she was holding hit the floor as her arms wrap around my neck. Our tongues, seeking one another. She pulls back from me. Lips red and plump.

  “Come on Sax. We have to go home to get ready for your family and then I want to get ready for the club.” With that, she grabs Lara who has been standing by the car with her head down, and hops into the back.

  By the time we make it home, the girls run upstairs to get ready for my family to get here. Ramone and I decide that instead of having my mom cook and such, she should also be able to relax. So, we ordered food from the family friend who also happens to be a chef on the island, and he is delivering everything now. I hear the first car as it pulls up. Walking up to the door I open it.

  “Hijo.” My mom says in her mom voice like I’m still a small child. She pulls my head to her mouth, kissing my cheeks. I look behind her to my dad, but of course he is no help. He chuckles and shrugs his shoulders. “You look good my boy. This girl, she makes you happy, I can see. Where is she? Where is my new daughter?”

  “Getting dressed mama. She will be down soon.” She walks past me into the villa. My dad comes in next.

  “My son. Is everything ok? Ramone filled me in on your progress with the parents. Have you spoken with Eco?” He wonders, asking me if my Valladares contacts have reached out.

  “Ramone has spoken with him papa.”

  “Very well. Let’s leave this business for after your wedding.” Kissing both my cheeks he makes his way into the kitchen. I am about to close the door when I see my sister walking up with a contrite looking Manny. I widen my stance crossing my arms. I don’t bother looking at her. He is the one that left his post and betrayed us. Dead bastard.

  “Stop it Sax. If you want to be mad at someone, be mad at me. You, of all people, know how persuasive I can be. Remember the bomb in the ice cream truck?” She giggles. I look down at her and feel some of the mad leaving me. My little sister as always been my personal shadow. She used to follow me everywhere when we were younger once she began walking. When she could talk and think, she became my sidekick. Always coming up with crazy ideas that I indulged to keep her busy and out of trouble.

  “Topolina. Why would you put our parents though this? You know the world we live in. The dangers that lurk. Why remove any trace of yourself and put yourself in harm's way?” I ask her, rubbing my thumb down her cheek.

  “That’s just it Sax. See, you just called me little mouse. But I am a 22-year-old woman. You all insist on treating me like a baby still. I can’t take it anymore.” My heart lurches for her. I have always hated to see her so upset. Turning my attention to the pretty boy that signed his own death warrant, I ask him.

  “What’s your fucking excuse? Why would you lay your life on the line to follow her?” He looks to Juli first, their eyes talking to one another. This is a good sign. She nods slightly and he turns back to me.

  “I love her, sir. And I would do anything to make her happy. Including die.” Well fuck. I was expecting some sort of relationship angle, but this, this is something else. Call me a sap because I myself am feeling the effects of love, but I want to protect them both from my family now.

  “Help us Sax. If mom and dad, not to mention Ramone will listen to anyone, it’s you. I love him.” Hell.

  “I will do what I can Julissa. But I make no promises. Is there anything else I need to know?” Both their heads hang down, as they clasp hands. Finally, Manny looks up, his face giving nothing away. I see his chest expand like he is ready for battle and my own defenses go up.

  “We got married two days ago.” I was not expecting that. Aww fuck. Shit just got real.

  Lexi

  “Alright. So, I say we save our outfits for tonight after his family goes to their villa for the night. Wouldn't want my future mother-in-law thinking I’m a slut.” I say to Lara as I put on the last of her makeup. The truth is, I have been taking my time getting ready, because I am so nervous. Let’s be honest, what mom in their right mind, let alone the mother of someone like Saxson, is going to think an 18-year-old is good enough for her son? That is why it took me and Lara so long yesterday to pick out dresses for the weddi
ng. I’m young and I don’t want to look like an old lady. But at the same time, I want to look sophisticated and elegant. So, I bought a dress for the ceremony, a dress for the reception, and we bought Lara’s bridesmaid dress. They measured me and stuff for it there and said they would have it altered and brought over to the villa by morning.

  My mind drifts from the dress to Saxson himself. The idea of him and I is great. Romantic even. But in actual light of day, it makes no sense what he would want with me. I am sure there are hundreds of women throwing themselves at him. Why me? “Lexi, are you ok?” I hear Lara calling my name and I turn my head and look at her, as she finished putting on her shoes.

  “I don’t know Lara. What am I doing? Am I crazy? I am nowhere near good enough for him.” Both of my hands are on the dresser as I lean over it trying not to hyperventilate. My heart is beating so fast, it feels like it is going to beat a hole through my chest.

  “Lexi, you are the most confident 18-year-old I know. I mean, what other girl in our class would be bold enough to talk to a man like Saxson? I know I don’t know him that well, but he doesn’t strike me as the type to take decisions like marriage lightly. He must really love you, Lexi.” She says the last part a bit sad and I want to brain Ramone all over again.

  “Lara, don’t worry. Tonight, we are going to have so much fun and find you a man in the process. Show that asshole what he’s missing.”

  I finish getting ready and take a deep breath. He is not going to let anyone make me feel unwelcome. Including his own family. Knowing that, gives me the courage to grab Lara’s hand and walk out the bedroom door.
