Next day
*
Driving home from class, my thoughts are filled with her. As usual.
It's been five days since I saw her beautiful face.
Five days since I held her in my arms.
Five days since I kissed her.
I'm going out of my fucking mind.
I can't wait to see her tonight. I should go to the gym, but I would much rather be with her.
She's going to look so fucking cute bowling... Plus I will have lots of chances to openly stare at her cute little butt.
It's going to be great. She's probably going to hate it, but maybe she shouldn't have tried to push me away.
It's her own fault really.
If she didn't "need space" then I totally could have asked her what she wanted to do.
When I got her text last night, I knew I was in deep shit. Oh well. She will have to pretend she's enjoying the pleasure of my company.
It's going to be fucking awesome.
As I walk in the door, Nate steps in front of me, with Red following right behind him. "What the fuck man?" I try to walk past him, but he blocks me.
"Dammit, bro." He hisses at me. "Didn't you get my text?"
Red steps up beside him, blocking my view from the kitchen. "Ben." She's whispering too. "You need to leave. Now." She's trying to push me out the door. What the hell is going on?
"Okay, you guys are being way too fucking weird for me." I move to walk past them, but freeze when I hear a familiar voice.
"Joe?" My eyes meet hers. Fuck no. It can't be. "Joey, is that you?"
"Get the fuck out of my house, Samantha." Her mouth is hanging open, but I don't care. She needs to leave now.
Oh shit. What if Kat shows up? This is bad. Very bad.
Nate must notice the panic in my eyes because he leans in to whisper in my ear. "Don't worry about anything bro. We got ya covered." He bobs his head in the direction of his girlfriend.
"We better get going, Snuggley-bear." Red announces loudly, for our audience of one.
He smacks his arm on my back, pulling me in for a hug. "Just get rid of the bitch. And don't do anything stupid, Bro. Remember what you have with Kat."
He raises his eyebrows at me before retreating out the door behind Red.
What the fuck? Does he really think I would do that? I would never cheat in any relationship, real or not.
Especially with a lying, cheating, backstabbing bitch.
I walk towards her, crossing my arms over my chest. Her gaze flickers down, taking in my new body. She steps forward, opening her arms for a hug.
I roll my eyes, taking a step back. Stupid bitch, like I would ever touch her again.
"What do you want?" My voice colder and harder than I intended, but I don't care.
"Wh-what do you mean, Joey? You left without a word, I just wanted to see you again." She pouts, her bottom lip quivering.
"Stop the fake crying. And stop calling me Joey, that's not my fucking name. In fact you can just stop talking and leave." I'm sick of her shit already and it's only been a few minutes.
"What do you want be to call you, then?" She smiles, crossing her arms.
"Nothing. I want you to fucking leave." She clearly heard the wrong part.
"Jesus, when did you get so crass? You swear like a sailor." I can think of one person who doesn't mind it.
"Around the time I realized what a bitch you really were." I sneer at her.
"Wh-what are you t-t-talking about?" Her shock almost makes it worth spending these few minutes in her presence. Almost.
"I'm talking about you, being a lying, cheating whore." She gasps. "Oh please. Do you not remember me catching you?"
"I told you, Joey, I just got sick of waiting." She sniffs, wiping the non-existent tears away. "I thought you didn't want me."
"Uh huh... And that totally makes it right." I roll my eyes at her stupid excuse.
"No, Joey. I just-" Stupid bitch doesn't listen. I hate that name. He was weak and stupid. I'm Ben now.
"I. Told. You. Not. To. Call. Me. That." I bite out each word, hoping she remembers it this time.
"Well, you didn't tell me what to call you." She's never going to leave.
"Ben. I go by Ben now." I didn't want to give that piece of me to her, but like Kat, she can be persistent.
Damn. I miss my little hurricane. I bet she could get rid of this awful flashback.
"Like your middle name?" Dammit.
"I'm surprised you remember." I glare at her, hoping to make her uncomfortable enough to leave.
"I remember a lot, Benny." God, I really hate the sound of my name on her lips.
"Ben. Not Benny." I blow out a breath.398Please respect copyright.PENANAzY0XiVX6Kx
Keep your cool. You're not going to hit a chick, no matter how dumb she is. "Samantha, what do you really want?"
"Ben, you know I hate my full name." Oh, I do know. Why do you think I call you that now?
"Yep. What. Do. You. Want?" I can't help but see the clear differences between her and Kat.
Kat's not only beautiful on the outside, but on the inside too.
Samantha had the looks, but on the inside she's repulsive. Now all I see when I look at her is the ugly.
"God, Ben. When did you get so... dominant?" She steps forward, placing her hand on my chest. "It's kinda... hot."
Oh, no fucking way. I step back, letting her hand fall to her side. "If your just here to cop a feel, you can leave. I have a girlfriend."
Why couldn't I have met Kat in high school instead? How much different would my life be? Would we be happy right now instead of apart?
"A girlfriend?" She chokes out. "I didn't think you would ever get over me."
Samantha was the sun, the closer I got to her, the more I burned, until there was nothing left if me.
"Oh, I'm completely over you. Kat is a hundred times better than you'll ever be." I don't even have to lie.
Kat has her own fire within, she doesn't need to extinguish mine. She makes me burn brighter.
"Kat? Oh please. You will get over her and come crawling back to me. You don't even love her, I can tell." She takes a step closer. "Just kiss me and I'll prove it."
"I don't need to prove anything to you. I do love her. I love Kat more than I ever even thought I loved you." Before I can think of anything else to say, I feel my mouth pressed against something soft and wet.
Shit.
"Ben?" I hear Kat's voice from behind me.
Double shit.398Please respect copyright.PENANAnbHAWcByHM
