"I-uh..." Before she can explain, Ben's door swings open. He emerges, shirtless. 718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JEShs4GFn
"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.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNZTeTK1cK
"I thought..." Her eyes move back and forth between us. "Nevermind. Where were you, Katarina? I was worried sick!"718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhYuOWwlWR
"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.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddtMI1m2br
"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. 718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhY4MmnvKCW
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. 718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38XVwz9XPE
She's been very understanding and I've really appreciated it, but I am so glad all of that is over. 718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tzQGbi2P1
"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.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGylPMk5Z5H
What just happened? 718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4fDbZL95c
"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."718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2KfQ8N0tn
I can't focus on what she's saying. What did I do? Crap, does this mean the deal is off? 718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxkpgjcpd1
I kinda wish I had his number so I could ask him what is going on.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6v1OnwZ5Nh
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."718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAP9cja0Niz
"Okay, hurry up so we don't run into the playboy again." I immediately lock the bedroom door and head into the bathroom.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7hRZwuAiG
He's leaning against the sink, with his head bowed. Was he waiting for me?718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYN6TukAH8G
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?"718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3AvBfuij57
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. 718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPiu0VLv7J
"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?"718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fVno7K5Sr
The only thing I can get out before he continues is "Hurricane?" But, I don't even think he heard me.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpmm2Ja1Iz
"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.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBHlBbkSUj
"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. 718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZraC9l0i1
"I'm fine. Just got a little amped up, I think. Sorry about that." Should I be worried?718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrw159jTmAP
"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? 718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOFjwH8MXE
"Uh... Sure. Yeah, of course. That will seem more realistic anyway."718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexESgROdO1
"Okay, great. Thanks, Kat. You're the best." He gives me another hug. 718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MvVqH8bOW
"I really should get going." I pull away, walking towards the door.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmo9tOqk0c
"Hey, wait!" He whispers loudly. "Let me see your phone real quick."718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHJHQz1joI
I hand it over without question. What's the worst he can do?718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6fo5eo6Jv
He hands it back and turns to leave without a word. 718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8ZmFmG4J7
That was weird.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWNh1YGBNk
I look at my phone. 718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEnJnycCm7
Me: Hello, Handsome.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvMk7aW6FU
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?718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HYRS3vi2q
I feel a buzz and look at the phone in my hand. I can't hide the smile that over takes my face.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1C8BQ0koyU
