Benji
“You can say that again I never thought I will fall in love with someone so quick but you’ll understand when you meet her.” “Well luckily I’m happily married.” “Good I’m not sure I wouldn’t like her ending up with you.” “Hey what does that mean?” “Nothing I just don’t think you the right fit. Talking of right fits Jaden what have you heard about him or when last?” “Oh no you not thinking what I think you are thinking?” “Oh, hell no I want to ask him a favor but I haven’t talk to him in a while.” “Well, his here every night in fact his here right now you want me to call him?” “Yes please.” “Okay just hold on.” John said. I haven’t spoken to Jaden in ages or well actually we call him Coop his surname is Cooper. “Oh my God and everything that is holy.” Coop answered the phone. “Hi Coop.” “Benji where are you?” “Back in Housten, I don’t have lots of time to talk I’m coming to Orlando tomorrow and I really want to talk to you about something.” “It sounds serious?” “It is Cooper, it really is.” “You only call me Cooper when things are bad.” “Well not for me I want to talk to you about the women I was supposed to marry I’m bringing her to Orlando tomorrow.” “You want a pre nup or something?” “I’m afraid she wakes up and no it’s nothing like that. Can we meet the day after tomorrow we can go out for lunch or something?” “Yes, off course are you bringing your fiancé with?” “She’s not my fiancé anymore like I said long story but I’ll call you and we can do lunch?” “I’m intrigued, but yes the day after tomorrow is fine for lunch I’ll let my secretary book it out.” “Make it 2 hours Cooper.” “Oh, fuck okay Benji I’ll sit out the rest of the day for you don’t worry.” “Thanks, I might need it.” “See you then old friend.”
I put the phone down and went to sit on the coach, before I knew what was happening to me, I was actually wiping tears from my face. I’ve never cried as an adult never. That’s when I realized it’s going to take a remarkable woman to ever let me get over Jojo. I poured myself a scotch just to settle my nerves I was standing at the window looking at the city my city but without her it’s not going to feel like home anymore. I didn’t hear her but I did feel her arms coming around me “You couldn’t sleep?” She asked me “No, why are you up?” “The bed was empty without you.” “I’m sorry angel come I’ll take you to bed you need your rest.” I walked her back to the room knowing I won’t sleep at all tonight. Tomorrow our lives change again but this time forever.
Jojo
I woke up the next morning and the first person I saw was Benji it was so nice to wake up to his face and then it hit me, his taking me to Orlando today immediately the smile on my face disappeared. I’m so in love with this man I don’t know how I’ll ever get over him, the sweetest man I’ve ever met, or maybe he reserved that side just for me but fuck I don’t want to lose him. But it’s written already I’m losing him, his going to drop me off in Orlando make sure I have an apartment and then come to Housten and start his life all over again this time without me. I could feel the tears slipping down my cheeks. I tried to sweep them away before Benji wakes up I don’t want our last day or days, I don’t even know how long he will stay with me before he needs to come back, be sad I want to have happy memories of Benji and me and so far, I have a lot of them.
He moved next to me and open his eyes looking straight in mine “Morning angel.” “Morning Benji.” “How long have you been staring at me?” “Not long.” “Why don’t I believe you?” “You just look so peaceful.” He took me and rolled letting me lay under him and him on top of me. “I think I should stare at you when you sleeping.” He said teasing me and then he stared to kiss me in my neck and then I tried to bite me but I pushed and pushed him off me “You can’t give me a love bite.” I screamed because he was tickling me as well. “And why not we are going to a place where no one knows you?” “Well, you have a point but what about your friend I need to make a good impression on my new boss shouldn’t I?” “He will just be jealous because I’m sure his wife doesn’t allow love bites anymore.”
That put my mind at ease his friend was married I didn’t have to worry about him at all, thank goodness. Benji was so in tuned with me he immediately asked me “Where did you go their angel?” I wanted to lie but what’s the point. “I was just happy to hear your friend is married and I didn’t have to worry about anyone coming on to me.” He got off me and sat up straight in bed, very serious. “Angel you are stunning a lot of men will be come on to you it’s your decision if you say yes or no, no one else’s and if someone at work get’s to much or one of the customers gets to much then you tell John and he can sort them out.” “I wouldn’t want to run to my boss to get men of my back.” “Well, he will do it with pleasure of that, I’m sure.” We were quiet for a minute I was taking in the fact that men will come on to me but at least not for long no one will want to date a pregnant girl. “Can I ask you something?” I ask Benji “Off course anything?” “How long are you going to stay in Orlando with me?” “Probable 2 or 3 days if I stay longer my mother will find out where we are and then she will tell your mother so I don’t want to take chance.” “Oh yes but what about the flight?” “Don’t worry I already took care of that, the flight plan is for New York, no one will find you in the Big Apple.” He winked at me. “Thank you Benji really thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping me. You should have been upset with me and maybe even never want to see me again but you are so sweet about the whole thing.” “You did nothing wrong angel please believe me.” “But the promise….” He interrupted me “Was ridiculous in the first place.”
