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.746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWU5YNDyhs

"I-uh..." Before she can explain, Ben's door swings open. He emerges, shirtless. 746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY828ooUdcQ
"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.746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjhx2pNJZG
"I thought..." Her eyes move back and forth between us. "Nevermind. Where were you, Katarina? I was worried sick!"746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrLMvXrDPm
"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.746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIugRmleGpl
"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. 746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDUT9mfVNA
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. 746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRA3NrDdhf2
She's been very understanding and I've really appreciated it, but I am so glad all of that is over. 746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskVSBLBC69
"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.746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOGX3KuyD0
What just happened? 746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXx1YfT5Zrq
"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."746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrze0mqkxT
I can't focus on what she's saying. What did I do? Crap, does this mean the deal is off? 746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWsH0f1x20
I kinda wish I had his number so I could ask him what is going on.746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmu1JR9Glb
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."746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWX2W8ouzb
"Okay, hurry up so we don't run into the playboy again." I immediately lock the bedroom door and head into the bathroom.746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSs4lS0Qq0K
He's leaning against the sink, with his head bowed. Was he waiting for me?746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqYRakmJTj
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?"746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyo8jxD1N5z
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. 746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRDXGQKJSt
"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?"746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6brWwzUIaI
The only thing I can get out before he continues is "Hurricane?" But, I don't even think he heard me.746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqiBu64zzHE
"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.746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwn8YA8ALKn
"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. 746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDVxO1Lr20
"I'm fine. Just got a little amped up, I think. Sorry about that." Should I be worried?746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMTcsgDbB1
"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? 746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2N01jqCS82
"Uh... Sure. Yeah, of course. That will seem more realistic anyway."746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHI0lAggv3q
"Okay, great. Thanks, Kat. You're the best." He gives me another hug. 746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRJVl16JcN
"I really should get going." I pull away, walking towards the door.746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84U1Pd0xxp
"Hey, wait!" He whispers loudly. "Let me see your phone real quick."746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7vo1iFFmB
I hand it over without question. What's the worst he can do?746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvNNoGdmWo
He hands it back and turns to leave without a word. 746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmW2tJjZAf
That was weird.746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7J5GJin2y
I look at my phone. 746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1t06nZnFfV
Me: Hello, Handsome.746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7NEaNbXAr
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?746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj08reDA1hh
I feel a buzz and look at the phone in my hand. I can't hide the smile that over takes my face.746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZStTBGT5VA
