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.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEMFoLeITM

"I-uh..." Before she can explain, Ben's door swings open. He emerges, shirtless. 722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHBAJWHmht
"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.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxz2oFqz9l
"I thought..." Her eyes move back and forth between us. "Nevermind. Where were you, Katarina? I was worried sick!"722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKb5a4wuPi
"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.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ239ZApRKRZ
"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. 722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkq6eW0QZh
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. 722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTFV8VLgGr
She's been very understanding and I've really appreciated it, but I am so glad all of that is over. 722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSg0zvFOJcl
"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.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9A0uR0Q94
What just happened? 722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJqrGlpbbC
"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."722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWbnfpycq3
I can't focus on what she's saying. What did I do? Crap, does this mean the deal is off? 722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcEKdIfSsA
I kinda wish I had his number so I could ask him what is going on.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxUrOoKr7c
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."722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0FxKoU7p1
"Okay, hurry up so we don't run into the playboy again." I immediately lock the bedroom door and head into the bathroom.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOi1ut2aho
He's leaning against the sink, with his head bowed. Was he waiting for me?722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzGLzzFxyk
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?"722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2aetz4Qtht
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. 722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZgH5uA6iF
"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?"722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmm2DqEFekP
The only thing I can get out before he continues is "Hurricane?" But, I don't even think he heard me.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZL2tO3VGE7
"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.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqHSHc5McC
"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. 722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOFxgb0DOu
"I'm fine. Just got a little amped up, I think. Sorry about that." Should I be worried?722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMspZ0UlSD
"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? 722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQo6EIJlDuw
"Uh... Sure. Yeah, of course. That will seem more realistic anyway."722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhMlFAwAPj
"Okay, great. Thanks, Kat. You're the best." He gives me another hug. 722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctn7SQ7dZv
"I really should get going." I pull away, walking towards the door.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcbT58ZNFi
"Hey, wait!" He whispers loudly. "Let me see your phone real quick."722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCs1342pK5S
I hand it over without question. What's the worst he can do?722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpbib6Rhce
He hands it back and turns to leave without a word. 722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDj4N4gRT1
That was weird.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsamp5goqd
I look at my phone. 722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqT38OwICL
Me: Hello, Handsome.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡloNXvUgZfY
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?722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0IxqTmizb9
I feel a buzz and look at the phone in my hand. I can't hide the smile that over takes my face.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlb7qtDOGHQ
