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.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIAAtkEIal

"I-uh..." Before she can explain, Ben's door swings open. He emerges, shirtless. 761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSltwfirB0
"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.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbJ5fHdKVe
"I thought..." Her eyes move back and forth between us. "Nevermind. Where were you, Katarina? I was worried sick!"761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOyXJCu2G9
"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.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCislAhJUAM
"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. 761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbK6Yg4knr9
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. 761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRP7TrfQSg
She's been very understanding and I've really appreciated it, but I am so glad all of that is over. 761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXMmTrTBBW
"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.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxdDTmBPJT
What just happened? 761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1099euHki
"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."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvaMNmqQJdh
I can't focus on what she's saying. What did I do? Crap, does this mean the deal is off? 761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUc5cBmurb
I kinda wish I had his number so I could ask him what is going on.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRKZhg8AZT
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."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9S5SJ4LM3
"Okay, hurry up so we don't run into the playboy again." I immediately lock the bedroom door and head into the bathroom.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsK1vzDI6z
He's leaning against the sink, with his head bowed. Was he waiting for me?761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwuCXzHNd9
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?"761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1G8cjH5Ge
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. 761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0uW1zCtRL
"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?"761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEm7IT0AwSP
The only thing I can get out before he continues is "Hurricane?" But, I don't even think he heard me.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidYFgQf9Ak
"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.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnP0DOMAanD
"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. 761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPo3FcRe1S
"I'm fine. Just got a little amped up, I think. Sorry about that." Should I be worried?761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmEioa8BYw
"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? 761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTruJwBT1qI
"Uh... Sure. Yeah, of course. That will seem more realistic anyway."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOeU67p4L9o
"Okay, great. Thanks, Kat. You're the best." He gives me another hug. 761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnE4o0u5WJL
"I really should get going." I pull away, walking towards the door.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpE76hfHWwh
"Hey, wait!" He whispers loudly. "Let me see your phone real quick."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyXoEGfdUD
I hand it over without question. What's the worst he can do?761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDhJj1zeKt
He hands it back and turns to leave without a word. 761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyN33cDNLS

I look at my phone. 761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yryaPgIMb
Me: Hello, Handsome.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhY1RYH9mJ
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?761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCCtowHi0m
I feel a buzz and look at the phone in my hand. I can't hide the smile that over takes my face.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFumyInX7Y
