"Shit, we can't start like this." I want to know what he means, but there's no time. "Quick, go through the bathroom. You can hide in the other room." 669Please respect copyright.PENANAWpsghWacgj
669Please respect copyright.PENANAgWyemQ0CXu
669Please respect copyright.PENANA4jZIGLk0Uq

"Okay. Good idea." I sneak a quick peek at Ben, before quietly shutting the door between the bathroom and the spare room. 669Please respect copyright.PENANAyg8G45uMjU
669Please respect copyright.PENANAfuNFSV7yEB
669Please respect copyright.PENANAOifxPy23gW

I decide to really throw Vanessa off. I open the spare room, rubbing my eyes, dragging myself to her, trying my best to look like she just woke me up.669Please respect copyright.PENANAZs9PXudSWk
669Please respect copyright.PENANAbUw6LRkkTb

"I-uh..." Before she can explain, Ben's door swings open. He emerges, shirtless. 669Please respect copyright.PENANAVt4Bq7OApn
"What the fuck do you want, Red?" He rubs the back of his neck, his muscles rippling with the movement. I tear my eyes away, before Vanessa can catch me starting. It was incredibly difficult. Seriously, I'm like a freaking saint right now.669Please respect copyright.PENANAFPyVT8P4Sq
"I thought..." Her eyes move back and forth between us. "Nevermind. Where were you, Katarina? I was worried sick!"669Please respect copyright.PENANANzupcvKHmi
"I couldn't find you, and I drank too much, so I just went and laid down in the spare room since I knew it was empty." I hope it sounds convincing.669Please respect copyright.PENANABdbSCcaLGn
"Oh ok. You just disappeared, so I didn't know..." Her eyes dart to Ben. I give a subtle head shake, to reassure her. "Okay, well... do you need to go then?" She glanced at him again. 669Please respect copyright.PENANAiF2gV4CCL5
She knows I'm not comfortable being around him and it's mostly thanks to her that I've been able to avoid him as much as I have. 669Please respect copyright.PENANAV7yzL5XBWf
She's been very understanding and I've really appreciated it, but I am so glad all of that is over. 669Please respect copyright.PENANAGQLejSkeaI
"Well, if that's all. Fuck off, Red." Ben returns to his room, slamming the door in my face. My mouth is hanging open, but I can't stop myself.669Please respect copyright.PENANABp6hIyovRc
What just happened? 669Please respect copyright.PENANAXNC9LHPUhM
"Wow." 'Ness looks at me sympathetically before pulling me into a hug. "Sorry, girlie. I know you are avoiding him, but I didn't know what to think when I couldn't find you."669Please respect copyright.PENANAS6J7NIqlS3
I can't focus on what she's saying. What did I do? Crap, does this mean the deal is off? 669Please respect copyright.PENANAZ7ahuRdcIQ
I kinda wish I had his number so I could ask him what is going on.669Please respect copyright.PENANAFDtFTYsU2c
I pull out of her hug. I need to see him before we leave. "Yeah, I'm just gonna run to the bathroom real quick. Be right back."669Please respect copyright.PENANAc1PPJFlPMY
"Okay, hurry up so we don't run into the playboy again." I immediately lock the bedroom door and head into the bathroom.669Please respect copyright.PENANAndEvX1uh5L
He's leaning against the sink, with his head bowed. Was he waiting for me?669Please respect copyright.PENANAVwwpjhYMa3
He looks up, realizing I'm there. "Kat. Oh thank god, I'm glad you came back. I am so sorry for that." He steps forward to wrap his arms around me. "I figured it would be best to keep up appearances until we figure out how to break the news in a convincing way. I don't think she suspects anything, do you?"669Please respect copyright.PENANAQmnPv0xmIx
He hasn't stopped talking long enough for me to say anything, I open my mouth to expand, but he keeps going. He releases me from the hug, but doesn't step back. 669Please respect copyright.PENANAjKfaak8SHz
"I thought you would be pissed. Oh man, I thought for sure you would go full on hurricane. Red probably wants to kill me. We need a really good way to come out. Something big, but everyone has to believe it. Do you have any ideas?"669Please respect copyright.PENANAMtKQO3UUqx
The only thing I can get out before he continues is "Hurricane?" But, I don't even think he heard me.669Please respect copyright.PENANA6a94iDEXCl
"I had a few ideas, but I don't think they are grand enough. We need a grand gesture." I have to stop him, I told Vanessa I would hurry and if I don't, she will come get me.669Please respect copyright.PENANA81sF57qQYS
"Ben. I need to go. Are you okay?" I place my hand on his cheek. He leans into my touch and closes his eyes, relaxing instantly. 669Please respect copyright.PENANAcZGdvNUkt9
"I'm fine. Just got a little amped up, I think. Sorry about that." Should I be worried?669Please respect copyright.PENANAk0WZvYJ9J9
"Listen, I know this is for you, but I was wondering if maybe I could tell my mom we're dating, just to get her off my back? If not, that's totally okay." He wants to tell his mom? 669Please respect copyright.PENANAlEy261rerc
"Uh... Sure. Yeah, of course. That will seem more realistic anyway."669Please respect copyright.PENANA79f0tb8Eoh
"Okay, great. Thanks, Kat. You're the best." He gives me another hug. 669Please respect copyright.PENANA3yyDv7P1GK
"I really should get going." I pull away, walking towards the door.669Please respect copyright.PENANAPH8S2U6t6y
"Hey, wait!" He whispers loudly. "Let me see your phone real quick."669Please respect copyright.PENANAXPAR7iST28
I hand it over without question. What's the worst he can do?669Please respect copyright.PENANAot4e5CHr5l
He hands it back and turns to leave without a word. 669Please respect copyright.PENANAx2H9r5lEps
That was weird.669Please respect copyright.PENANA3ntaevAmdA
I look at my phone. 669Please respect copyright.PENANA9UD1LRXrPM
Me: Hello, Handsome.669Please respect copyright.PENANAZHYCaZOdV0
He must have sent a text to his own number, so it looks like I said it to him. I roll my eyes. Conceited, much?669Please respect copyright.PENANAP0reIV8oOi
I feel a buzz and look at the phone in my hand. I can't hide the smile that over takes my face.669Please respect copyright.PENANA0GuOOfbv4n
