"I-uh..." Before she can explain, Ben's door swings open. He emerges, shirtless. 788Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWLGiU5MHu
"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.788Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhVXXsNmEG
"I thought..." Her eyes move back and forth between us. "Nevermind. Where were you, Katarina? I was worried sick!"788Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsjBEdnkxD
"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.788Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5hNQy67ea
"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. 788Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3nPapf8En
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. 788Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfLhd8GRRy
She's been very understanding and I've really appreciated it, but I am so glad all of that is over. 788Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxs8C4RLCsL
"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.788Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gyQHrTze6
What just happened? 788Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4fA3e5Hyx
"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."788Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDC7CRTtMm
I can't focus on what she's saying. What did I do? Crap, does this mean the deal is off? 788Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86dLGFuEGR
I kinda wish I had his number so I could ask him what is going on.788Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWPiCJfdTB
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."788Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VNSifVH4j
"Okay, hurry up so we don't run into the playboy again." I immediately lock the bedroom door and head into the bathroom.788Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14IXoX7BT0
He's leaning against the sink, with his head bowed. Was he waiting for me?788Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIbDIgplPT
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?"788Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLoKi6eNkDD
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. 788Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRVAqtqZFN
"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?"788Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡziLxCbxUC3
The only thing I can get out before he continues is "Hurricane?" But, I don't even think he heard me.788Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJipARHiwfT
"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.788Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukwVkPV2fp
"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. 788Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQV6EyPsTy
"I'm fine. Just got a little amped up, I think. Sorry about that." Should I be worried?788Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv59tkajQIx
"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? 788Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAoITxYTW6V
"Uh... Sure. Yeah, of course. That will seem more realistic anyway."788Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69Ae41ngpG
"Okay, great. Thanks, Kat. You're the best." He gives me another hug. 788Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBzu6f4L0d
"I really should get going." I pull away, walking towards the door.788Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmZuuIsZMv
"Hey, wait!" He whispers loudly. "Let me see your phone real quick."788Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFNdFBYQzh
I hand it over without question. What's the worst he can do?788Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6p758TSiAv
He hands it back and turns to leave without a word. 788Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMwXMh6UEl

I look at my phone. 788Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGa6badZ3U
Me: Hello, Handsome.788Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAiiz1hM2B
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?788Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJlWG7Jqra
I feel a buzz and look at the phone in my hand. I can't hide the smile that over takes my face.788Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWufVzs8X6
