"I-uh..." Before she can explain, Ben's door swings open. He emerges, shirtless. 711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlQzePpHqQ
"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.711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZykgTNVR2
"I thought..." Her eyes move back and forth between us. "Nevermind. Where were you, Katarina? I was worried sick!"711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhIHfhx30n
"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.711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTJagxP3Aq
"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. 711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpdBYlUF1j
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. 711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVbMqAMml7
She's been very understanding and I've really appreciated it, but I am so glad all of that is over. 711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ640XLQYY3w
"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.711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznXTrMXLT6
What just happened? 711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJwvHuv5C6
"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."711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxy2Pf9gs9Y
I can't focus on what she's saying. What did I do? Crap, does this mean the deal is off? 711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKPn0i7rLi
I kinda wish I had his number so I could ask him what is going on.711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4EvT03HKXV
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."711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dwL5CwvGl
"Okay, hurry up so we don't run into the playboy again." I immediately lock the bedroom door and head into the bathroom.711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhaARSgQAs
He's leaning against the sink, with his head bowed. Was he waiting for me?711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzNqaQel8c
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?"711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo45nJGBt5d
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. 711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHqhhl8OpE
"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?"711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5ATAw845j
The only thing I can get out before he continues is "Hurricane?" But, I don't even think he heard me.711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpjFCZ5TNw
"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.711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeySmCFMPtX
"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. 711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNWWR2vDPz
"I'm fine. Just got a little amped up, I think. Sorry about that." Should I be worried?711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwoXsnFRHIL
"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? 711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6TIS33PMf
"Uh... Sure. Yeah, of course. That will seem more realistic anyway."711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBgiKeq0Mv
"Okay, great. Thanks, Kat. You're the best." He gives me another hug. 711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrr0MyRync2
"I really should get going." I pull away, walking towards the door.711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzD4PqySlj
"Hey, wait!" He whispers loudly. "Let me see your phone real quick."711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrugGJNwOQ
I hand it over without question. What's the worst he can do?711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJHTtjZKx9
He hands it back and turns to leave without a word. 711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhOj4h9FuN

I look at my phone. 711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63nAzAjXsd
Me: Hello, Handsome.711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8KSM9Nkph
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?711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFT1CHEwbS
I feel a buzz and look at the phone in my hand. I can't hide the smile that over takes my face.711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzTbMMs6dm
