The Gangleader's Little Princess

CHAPTER 43

"You? Disturbing? You could never be disturbing anything." He gave me a tired smile that had me unsure. I mouthed an 'Okay' and closed the door, hopping like a little girl I went and sit on his lap.

"You sure, you aren't busy?" He shook his head 'no'. "So it means I am not disturbing anything right now?" He replied with the same gesture again. He laid his face on his hand that was resting on the table.

"Why are you asking me these many question? Did you want something?" He tucked the stray hair behind my ear as I poked my tongue out cheekily. I held the many packs of face mask in front of him. He looked at those packets questioningly then at me.

"Be my face mask buddy." He looked at me in disbelief.

"Ha ha princess I am a man." His amused tone quickly turned into a serious one leaving me shocked. 

"Yeah, so. What's with that?"

"This cosmetic and beauty care thingy are for girls not for men."

"Who said that? I know a lot of men who use beauty products."

"Like who?"

"Jeffree Star."

"Who?"

"Some guy from YouTube, are you going to do it with me or not?" I had no intention of getting distracted by explaining who he was so I quickly asked him the thing I was here for.

"What will I get in return though?"

"A glowing and healthy skin." He gave a 'you kidding me' look. "Don't make that face. You really need to take care of your skin."

"Are you trying to say I am ugly?"

"What? I never said that. I am just worried about you. You are just in your twenties but you look like in your thirties. Oh my goodness are those age lines." Honestly speaking there were no age lines or any wrinkles on his face. He looked pretty flawless, his skin was rough and had some scratches but he was still very handsome. Unconsciously I was tracing his face with my fingertips gently making him close his eyes in utter satisfaction.

Taking the advantage of the moment I quickly took the mask and sneakily try to open the packet, but a large callous hand stop me from doing so.

"Ah ah! Don't even think about it."

"Jason Please." I gave him my best pout but he was resisting it hard. "Please just this one time."

"Nope."

"I was planning to use these face masks with Linda and have a girl time but---" I shuddered remembering the r-rated scene. 

"But, what princess?" 

"I saw Jonathan and Linda in her room doing bu bu--" I pointed my two forefingers at each other hoping he understood what I was saying but heavens forbid to work anything my way. He just looked at me; eyebrows up in his forehead and eyes anticipating my answer. "They were you know,,

"No I don't."

"Why are you such an idiot Jason?"

"I am offended." I bit my lip embarrassed to say anything a loud. I move near his ear pulling him towards me.

"They were in the bed, half naked doing the adultery." I whispered slowly, worried about someone hearing us. He looked at my flushed expression with wide eyes.

"Oh God!!! No."

"Believe it or not, it's the truth. I was shocked too like Linda and Johnathan together. It's not like it was a secret or something about how they felt for each other but still after whatever move he played yesterday, she forgave."

"What are you talking about? Their relationship is the last thing on my mind. The thing that's bugging me the most that you had to witnessed those getting dirty. My princess just lost her pretty innocence."

"Yes, I admit it was pretty much the vulgarest thing I've ever seen but the way the two of them looked so carefree and loved in each others' arms. I didn't much mind about it. Plus, it was my fault for entering someone's room without knocking." I fiddled with his fingers blushing, looking up I saw the gang leader in a deep thought.

"What are you thinking, Jason?"

"New rules that'll make sure to keep innocence intact."

"Eh... That's harsh, just for the safety of my innocence you are gonna banned lovers to make love."

"Lovers??" He scoffed bemused. "More like f#(kers trying to f*(k each other." I slapped his chest as hardly as I could.

"Why can't you ever be positive about something?"

"Excepting from a person born in the world of negativity to think positively is just like expecting mangoes to grow  from an apple tree."

"Huh?" I tilted my head in puzzlement. But instead of clearing my confusion he just ruffled my hair.

"Jason, tell me something."

"What?" He lifted me up and placed me in a comfortable position where he could see properly.

"Does it feel good? To be loved and make love with the person you've been dreading for."

"Well, who knows. And why do you need to know?"

"Haven't you ever been in love?"

"Nope."

"Ehh.... Really that's a shame."

"Excuse me will you now answer? Why do you need to know about that?" He snapped his fingers in front of my face with a puzzled look.

"Ah, that....... because.......... you see........." I fidgeted on his lap embarrassingly and scratched my jaws. "Seeing the two of them before, ignited something inside me." 

"I have a bad feeling about your response but still, what did it ignite?"

"Desire........ Desire to make love." I played with my forefingers avoiding eye contact with Jason due to the embarrassment that was piling up in my body.

"What?!"

"Oww! Don't shout. You hurt my ears."

"Are you on your right mind, princess? You are fourteen, a kid; and a kid doesn't think that way."

"Kid? Kid? I'm not a kid, I am a growing up girl. And it's normal for someone going through changes like this to think about it, right?" I looked at him offended but changed my expression into a shy one seeing his disbelief look.

"No! No! What have I done? What have these monsters done to you? To someone so innocent and fragile." Jason cupped my face and over-dramatically worried about something that wasn't preventable.

"Stop being dramatic Jason. I am not going to be the same little girl all the time. One day I'll grow up and lose all my purity. What are you gonna do then? It's useless to prevent something that's bound to happen."

"Don't tell me you are going through the rebellious phase or something. No. No It can't be. My princess won't ever go that way. It's probably your period speaking. Yes, that's what it is?"

"Jason... Stop denying you know that is true." Jason let out a distressed sigh and leaned his head on mine. 

"I know it is, but till that time comes I can try right. There's no wrong in protecting something until it's still there, right?" I nodded my head unconsciously. "So till then, until you are all grown up and no more my innocent little princess, let me protect you." He embraced me as I dazed off into space thinking how one day I will really get old and I won't have the same type of treatment like I have now as a little kid. I will one day grow up and have lots of responsibility to fulfill. There will be time when I'll have to step out of the world my father created and face the true nature of the human world. One thing I'm sure it won't be easy. It won't easy having no one by my side to support and protect me.

Thinking about these things just gave me a bad feeling, so I nuzzled more on Jason and clutched on him hard. Without realizing I made myself aware about my growing up phase and how nervous I am about it. As a kid I always thought growing up was awesome but now... No I don't want to grow up, I just want to stay as Jason's little princess. It's really something selfish to ask but I can't help it, selfishness is in the human nature.
