Rafello the Raven, Son of jack the Wolf Chapter One: Rafello's dilemma "So Saph... you wanna go to the movies today" "Uh...I don't know, I got a lot of homework from ms. Jackson. She gave us another 10- page paper to do. I think I'll be working on it all weekend." "Man, We almost never go out anymore Saph. I barely see you even in school." " I promise I'll make it up to you, Ra, but not this weekend. We can go next week." " You know my father just gave me some money, maybe I can buy a new outfit or something?" "Maybe, next week, sorry..." Sapphire hung up the phone, so did Rafello. Rafello sits on his bed in his large room. "Maybe I'll just go the movies with my friends this weekend." He thought. He picked up the phone again, then put it back down as he remembered that his friend Mike was at Saturday detention and his other friend Thomas had to work full time on Saturdays. "Guess I'll go by myself." Rafello, or Ra, as he was commonly known, put on his Leather Guess Jacket and picked up his car keys and left out of the room. His older sister, Nikki, was walking by. She was twenty years old while Ra was only 16. She was a thick cut girl with big muscles. Nikki mostly wore men's clothing and looked like a male gangster. Today she had on a big sweatshirt, some loose fitting jeans and a black skull cap that covered her nappy braids. "Where you going ugly? To see that little girl friend of yours?" Nikki asked. " I'm just going to the movies by myself, everyone else is too busy. Where you going?" he snapped back at her. "I gotta go to class. Where to little friends at?" "Either at work or in Saturday detention." Ra said. "Feels good to be privileged don't it. Not having to go to work everyday, having college already paid for." "Yeah, yeah" Ra said walking away from her. Ra came from a very rich family, but not Bill Gates rich. How did they get their money? Stocks? New invention? Software? No, The Chance family was a family of "business men". They did everything illegal from small time crooks bootlegging cable, to international drug trading. They had their hand in almost every big business in town from the light company to the three casinos that were in the town. They were the Chance Mafia. Rafello's father, Jack Chance, was head of the entire family business. He was very professional and smart. He had five kids and he had a plan for all of them. One would be the family doctor, one would be the Lawyer, another would be the businessman, and one would be the professional thief/ get away driver. The last child would be Jacks apprentice, next in line to take over the business. Jack had not chosen what child would do what yet. He wanted them to choose and out of the five he would choose the best to be the apprentice. So far only two of them were old enough to go to college and train. Nikki volunteered to be the doctor. She was the oldest of the five. Valentine decided to take on the task as driver and pro thief. He is 18. Rafello is the middle child. He always wanted to be the families' businessman. The other two children, Jackie and Andre, were too young to decide. One was in middle school, the other in elementary. Ra left out of the big mansion and went over to the large garage. His father had two of them. One acted as a normal 6- car garage were Jack's Benz, Marlette's (his mother) Jag, Nikki's Escalade, Ra's Camero SS and a variety of other cars to be used by anyone was held. The other garage was jack's personal Car museum. He had a lot of rare and classic cars there. It was about 40 of them. Ra got into his car and pulled out onto the main road. He drove to the movie theater that was downtown called "The Star". It was across the street from the beach. Rafello loved nature and the ride there had plenty of it. On both sides of him was the forest. Their house was deep in the woods for privacy. He loved it, being rich and "privileged" as Nikki put it, but he did not like being pampered like most of the other rich people he knew. He forced Jack to put him in a public school and he liked it. He is now in the 11th grade. Ra is very handsome at his age. He had muscular build, but not too bulky. His dark brown skin and black hair makes his hazel colored contacts stand out. He got his car last year for his 16th birthday. All of his brothers and sisters were promised one on their 16th. He chose a red Camaro SS with leather interior and blue ground effects. He loved its tinted windows and 20"-100 spoke rims. He was a nice guy, quiet though. He had many friend but he mostly hung out with two of them, Mike and Thomas. Both of them were gay, but they did not tell Rafello because they were afraid he wouldn't like them anymore. They were very close, but Ra would not dump them because of something like that. He pulled up into the movie theater parking lot. He found a great parking spot near the front. He got out and went in. It was opening weekend for about 5 new movies so it was crowded in the theater. He waited in line and bought a ticket to see the new scary movie he wanted to take Sapphire to see. This way, Ra could see when all of the scary parts were so he wouldn't jump when he goes with her. Rafello grabbed some popcorn and found a seat in the dark theater near the middle. It was very crowded. The movie started. Ra was on the edge seat. The couple behind him kept on making a lot of noises. At first it didn't bother him, until the middle of the movie when one of them stated kicking his chair. Ra turned around it was pitch black so he couldn't see them, "Can y'all chill a minute? Damn!" then he sat back down. They were quiet for about 10 minutes then they started fooling around again. "In here? You so wild, people will see." The girl said. "Come on. It'll be fun. You know its one of fantasies to do it in a crowded theater" The anonymous guy replied. "Well, alright." The lady said After that they were silent, at least the girl was. The guy was making all sorts of groaning noises and kicking Ra's chair. At first he let them slide, trying to nice. But then he felt something cold splash against his back. Ra couldn't take it anymore. That was the last straw. He stood up pulled out a switch blade and turned towards them. "Ohh hell naw."he said. Just then the light from the screen projected enough light for him to see who it was. It was Sapphires with another guy. Before he could lose his temper and stab the guy and his new ex-girlfriend, he stormed out to get some air. He pushed the door to the theater wide open so it would hit the wall. On his way out he kicked over some trash cans and threw is popcorn to the floor. He stood outside the Star and paced back and fourth. He took out the knife and with all of his force, he turned around and forced it into the concrete wall of the nice theater, all the way to the hilt of the blade. Ra walked towards the beach across the street. The sun was setting, giving water an orange red glow. It made him feel a little better. Sapphire didn't even come out to see him. She just stayed in there and watched the movie. Rafello walked to the pier and sat on the very edge. To his surprise, he wasn't as crushed about the news about his girlfriend. "Did I really like her?" he said to himself. The beach was almost empty. Only about five people were there besides him. Ra pulled out his wallet to count the money his father gave him that morning. His father, Jack, would give him a wad of money one weekend a month. It would be an assorted amount of bills he would have lying around. This time the knot felt thicker. Ra just grabbed the wad of cash and said thanks without even knowing how much it was. At the pier he counted it. It was in a rubber band. There was 400 dollars in there. He smiled. Then a strong wind blew and Rafello dropped the money into the water. "Fuck!!!" He jumped into the water. A guy behind him saw him jump in and thought he was committing suicide so he jumped in after him. Before Rafello knew it, he had two strong arms wrapped around him, so he fought to get free from his captor. He fought and splashed until he was actually drowning. The guy brung him to the surface and onto the beach. The "hero boy" gave him mouth to mouth except he put his tongue down Ra's throat. When he finally came to, Ra felt the guy's tongue and socked him in his face. "Get offa me Bitch, you Stupid Mutha Fucka!" Rafello yelled. "I was only trying to save your life. Damn!" "Save my life? Bitch, I was trying to get my money I dropped in the water. Damn, now that 400 bucks gone to the fishes." "Sorry, but you were drowning." The hero boy said. "I was drowning because you had your fucking arms around me." "Sorry..." Ra bent over so he could cough up all of the water that was still in his throat. The hero boy, who had backed away after Ra hit him, started to move in closer. "Uh, Hi. My names Eli, Eli Coleman." Ra stood upright. "My names Rafello Chance, but people call me Ra. Thanks. Not too many people would do what you did. Even if I was really in trouble." Ra got a good look at Eli. He was basically the same as him. They both had strong muscular bodies, except Eli had tan skin, light brown hair, and blue eyes. Ra didn't know what to think. On one part of his mind he missed his girlfriend and on the other part he wanted to give Eli a "personal thank you" right there on the beach. Eli walked even closer to Ra. He had no shirt on and that made Ra want to touch Eli's abs. Eli was about an inch away from Rafello's face. He didn't now what to do. Either sock the Fag again or kiss him. He was about to ball up his fist when suddenly, Eli kissed him on his lips. All of Ra's stress melted away with that kiss. That had never happened before with his ex-girlfriend, Sapphire. Eli pulled away from him and said, "Here is my number. Call me If you need help or anything." Then gave him a scrap piece of paper and walked away. Ra was dumbfounded as he stood on the beach. The sun was almost set. He watched Eli recede into the darkness. Ra then looked towards the water. The money met nothing to him anymore. All he could think about was Eli. Was he gay? Or was he straight? Is it possible to have a gay son to be mobster? If you have any comments send them to neptunewolf05@yahoo.com all comments are welcome. Thanx.
