“Come on you know you are. They don’t just put anyone on the cover of a GQ magazine.” He looked at me in shock. “Oh my God, you saw that?” “I did you are my fiancé since we were 5 years old, I had to keep an eye on you from a far.” Before he could say anything, the air hostess opened the doors. We were talking so much we didn’t even realize we have landed. “Oh, that was quick.” He said. “I think it’s because we didn’t stop talking the whole way.” “Also, true.” He gave me his hand and helped me from the chair, he didn’t let go of my hand until we were at the door, when I looked outside there was a SUV and a Ferrari park on the tarmac. I turned and look at him “A Ferrari?” “Off course. I hope you like speed?” “I wouldn’t know.” “Well, I’m going to test you.” The driver from the SUV took Benji’s bag and gave him the key to the Ferrari. Benji walked around and opened the door for me. When I got in it was the softest leather I could feel all around me. I’m used to luxury cars but my father is more a Bentley or Rolce Royce fan not super cars. Benji got in “You ready?” “I think I am.” He started the Ferrari but didn’t take it slow he pushed the petrol making me get pushed back in the seat. I grabbed at the seat; no, I don’t think I’m a van of speed. Benji looked over at me and smiled yes, he actually smiled. “You okay there?” He asked “I think so.” “Do you trust me?” I only thought for a split second “Yes I do.” Then he put his foot down and we flew, that’s how it felt. “Oh my God Benji.” Benji slowed down as we approached the town. “So not a speed freak?” He asked as he took my hand. “Not to the extreme that you are clearly.” He just smiled at me.
“You want to stop here for some basic’s, shampoo and maybe some cloths.” “That would be nice I can’t sleep in your shirt again tonight.” “Why not you looked hot?” I blushed and looked away. No man has ever told me I look hot. We stopped in the main street, Benji jumped out and came to open my door for me, he gave me his hand helping me out of the Ferrari. “We can walk from here.” He said. “Okay” We walked into the general store I took some shampoo, conditioner, bodywash, cream and a few other things I needed. When I got to the till, I took out my wallet but Benji pushed me away. “Nope I’m paying.” “I can really pay myself Benji.” “I’m very sure you can but you with me know so I’m paying.” I didn’t want to make a scene so I left it, putting it at the back of my mind. We will have a discussion about that later. We walked hand in hand to the next store; I wanted to go in but according to Benji they didn’t have my style cloths there. I think it was a nice way of saying it wasn’t a boutique. He just doesn’t know I like going to Target and Macey’s I don’t only wear Chanel, Prada, Gucci or all those other famous brands. If my mother takes me shopping that is where we will end up at but if I go, I go where ever I want to, even if it’s the corner shop and something caught my eye I will go in and buy it.
We got to a boutique and the girl behind the counter immediately recognized Benji. “Benjamin Devon as I live and breath, I never thought I’ll see you inside this store.” I could see on his face he didn’t know her name so I stepped forward “Joelle Wayne, Benjamin’s fiancé.” “Oh, Benji Benji Benji you went and got engaged.” Still Benjamin wasn’t answering her, ‘did he know her and there was some history there? Or did he really have no clue who she was?” And then he got out of his stupor “Hannelie I thought I’ll never see you again or should I say I hoped I’ll never see you again.” Okay there was history. She walked closer and touched his chest which made him step back immediately grabbing my hand. “Like Joelle said she’s my fiancé so I would prefer it if you don’t touch me.” “Oh, she’s the jealous type?” I decided to step in; I stepped in front of Benji. “Hannelie, you said?” I asked her. “Yes.” “Well, Hannelie like Benjamin said I’m his fiancé so I would prefer you keep your hands off my fiancé.” “So, you are jealous?” “No Hannelie I’m not jealous but clearly Benjamin doesn’t want to speak to you so step away.” She took a step back and Benjamin took me around the waist holding me to him. “Benji, would you mind I don’t see anything I want here.” I took his hand and walked out of the Boutique with a very stunned Hannelie looking at our backs. And I must say I was very proud off myself I’ve never done something like that in my life before, I would normally be the quiet one the one that steps away, but today I could see Benji needed my help.
When we were a few feet away from the Boutique Benji stopped and pulled me to stand in front of him, he looked me in the eyes, not sure if he was checking if I was mad or what he was looking for but before I knew it, I was in his arms, he held me so tight I had to tell him “Benji I can’t breathe.” “Oh sorry.” He said as he let go. “Should I ask what the story was there?” “Not now but thank you for coming to my rescue I really appreciate it.” “Any time I’ve got you.” “And I’ve got you angel.” He said it with so much passion like he meant it like it was a promise he was making to me. To always have my back.
