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.737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEaDsbuP0jk

"I-uh..." Before she can explain, Ben's door swings open. He emerges, shirtless. 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0TWG0Nl6R
"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.737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMtvs6xoWQ
"I thought..." Her eyes move back and forth between us. "Nevermind. Where were you, Katarina? I was worried sick!"737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswosNoRJIE
"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.737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRA2iN5OVG
"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. 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UfNZSzEaT
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. 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0G6a75ZvBB
She's been very understanding and I've really appreciated it, but I am so glad all of that is over. 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFu0B5Mdpu
"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.737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslDREdkkO6
What just happened? 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡys3yWiL7fb
"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."737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdHwH6Vz32
I can't focus on what she's saying. What did I do? Crap, does this mean the deal is off? 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDdAFej3Tz
I kinda wish I had his number so I could ask him what is going on.737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH94791ffT3
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."737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bghiMpuE9
"Okay, hurry up so we don't run into the playboy again." I immediately lock the bedroom door and head into the bathroom.737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xmaJQrH3l
He's leaning against the sink, with his head bowed. Was he waiting for me?737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1q5BY44Fw7
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?"737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo50ddAD19e
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. 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp35LMyF7Xy
"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?"737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpm0C5ZfHH
The only thing I can get out before he continues is "Hurricane?" But, I don't even think he heard me.737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPwY2iAnna
"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.737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqceXJW5gs
"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. 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUISHekISjc
"I'm fine. Just got a little amped up, I think. Sorry about that." Should I be worried?737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BsDwjtFav
"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? 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNsBsXvGsK
"Uh... Sure. Yeah, of course. That will seem more realistic anyway."737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZstQpDjui
"Okay, great. Thanks, Kat. You're the best." He gives me another hug. 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWo7yVnt1sw
"I really should get going." I pull away, walking towards the door.737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDM5wee4rA
"Hey, wait!" He whispers loudly. "Let me see your phone real quick."737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmlTds2ccN
I hand it over without question. What's the worst he can do?737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSg1x76kG6d
He hands it back and turns to leave without a word. 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4sv47J57X
That was weird.737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUVnyWx7GY
I look at my phone. 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6EklEPKfdS
Me: Hello, Handsome.737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0pm3inSAS
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?737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzuNtRQA70X
I feel a buzz and look at the phone in my hand. I can't hide the smile that over takes my face.737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14Je3GLkdp
