"I-uh..." Before she can explain, Ben's door swings open. He emerges, shirtless. 701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdiaMll4ymB
"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.701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtg04OzzBN
"I thought..." Her eyes move back and forth between us. "Nevermind. Where were you, Katarina? I was worried sick!"701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlo0zL1s6W
"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.701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgFmswyLuu
"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. 701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLk9ihauRDt
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. 701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBEOGTZNPb
She's been very understanding and I've really appreciated it, but I am so glad all of that is over. 701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEthKXK7sm
"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.701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDwG4xNXrD
What just happened? 701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYX728frVy
"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."701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHCGKm0Ulb
I can't focus on what she's saying. What did I do? Crap, does this mean the deal is off? 701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XzMru0yTV
I kinda wish I had his number so I could ask him what is going on.701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wbc3Abgjl
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."701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHDrAJhK5F
"Okay, hurry up so we don't run into the playboy again." I immediately lock the bedroom door and head into the bathroom.701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3M1fcja2A
He's leaning against the sink, with his head bowed. Was he waiting for me?701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4P1bNCE1vi
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?"701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAo9B9hMGX
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. 701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZB643cDhr
"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?"701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJei6Oppkt
The only thing I can get out before he continues is "Hurricane?" But, I don't even think he heard me.701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Ifzg24ACn
"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.701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr554nqWZLf
"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. 701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sMc1ZB7g0
"I'm fine. Just got a little amped up, I think. Sorry about that." Should I be worried?701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIYqhpbEk0
"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? 701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Qujm92jDj
"Uh... Sure. Yeah, of course. That will seem more realistic anyway."701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZOJyP1ymg
"Okay, great. Thanks, Kat. You're the best." He gives me another hug. 701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQRQJcdYRQ
"I really should get going." I pull away, walking towards the door.701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNkJr1Pn6m
"Hey, wait!" He whispers loudly. "Let me see your phone real quick."701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc34540vIHa
I hand it over without question. What's the worst he can do?701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LanJkWgmn
He hands it back and turns to leave without a word. 701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3aTQbg1bo
That was weird.701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjzwmkasXq
I look at my phone. 701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcHfMzp95D
Me: Hello, Handsome.701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xylnuisa4
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?701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XrGrLtA78
I feel a buzz and look at the phone in my hand. I can't hide the smile that over takes my face.701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3hPW3hC5z
