Ben

        

I am the biggest idiot on the planet. I know Rey Nima heard me in the spa meditation room. In all honesty, I didn't know she was in the room underneath a blanket. But that is not her fault. It was mine and my big mouth. I just hope she doesn't go running to HR and report me. Or worse she'll go on social media. I have to talk to her. I snatch my phone from my bed table and look at my Twitter

and Facebook feed. I scroll down through all the comments. I don't see any tweets about what a perverted sleaze, Ben Solo is. I breathe a sigh of relief. I still wonder what she thinks. She probably thinks you're a sick perverted creep, Solo. Rey's not tweeted. She has'nt gone on Facebook. Rey is waiting to report me tomorrow to Human Resources.

Although, did I see a sexy come hither stare at the spa? Did she hear me? No, I was imagining it. It was only wishful thinking.

I lower my IPhone to rest on my thigh and glare at the fiberglass plaster cast on my right leg.

Stupid dog I tripped over my bulldog Moose on Friday night and was in the hospital all weekend. I was just released Sunday evening with crutches. I was ordered to take three days to recover and practice with my crutches except that ain't going to happen. I have a film to finish in two months. I need to get back to work. A ping comes from my phone and I pick it up. I groan. It's my doctor. He's checking up on me and my broken leg. I begin to type a reply.

Me: What's up doc?

I smile at myself at my Bugs bunny impression.

Doc Netal: Cute, how are you feeling?

I smirk at the question.

Me: Better than expected. My leg itches like hell though.

Doc Netal: That is to be expected. Use a hanger to scratch the itch.

Me: Will do. Now, what do you want?

Doc Netal: I just wanted to check up on you. I know you insist on going back to work tomorrow. Just be careful. You have an assistant director. Use him!

I frown at the message and sigh.

Me: I will. I promise. I will let him do all the work and will only sit by him and supervise. I can't promise I will be pleasant though.

Doc Netal: You're never pleasant, Solo broken leg or not. Just try to be human and stay off the leg. Lol. How's Moose by the way?

Me: The dog is on my bed sleeping beside me. He won't leave my side.

Doc Netal: lol. He probably feels bad about tripping you.

I look at my dog laying beside me. He's sound asleep. I frown. I start typing.

Me: No, he just knows I'm the only one who feeds him.

Doc Netal: I get it. He doesn't want to bite the hand that feeds him. Lol.

Me: I'm going to bring him to work for comfort. He knows people there and likes them, anyway. The wardrobe ladies can babysit can keep him company.

My mind wanders. Paige, Rose and Rey are going to be excited when they see Moose, again. I smile at the thought. Especially Rey. I love to see her smile. I turn my head to look over at Moose curled up beside me. His fat little stomach moves up and down as Moose sleeps.

"Guess what moose?" I whisper."You're going to see Rey again. Sound good to you?"

Moose sleeps silently.

"Yeah, me too," I laughed. You're a good excuse to go to the wardrobe dept to see Rey without it being creepy."

I grimaced.

"I want to persuade Rey to have sex that includes whips and a blindfold, " I mutter sarcastic."That's not sick at all."

I must be crazy.

Why would Rey want any part of my depravity?

A loud beep from my phone alerts me. I have a new message. It captures my attention and I

remember Doc Netal.

Doc Netal: Sounds like a plan. Ok, well, good luck tomorrow and stay off the leg, goodnight.

Me: Yeah. Thanks, goodnight.

I smile at my phone. The blue dots bubble and then disappear from my screen. I sigh. I don't look forward to coming into work tomorrow. Expect for seeing Rey, again.

Morning arrives and I hobble down the hall to my studio with my crutches. Poe Dameron keeps pace with me as he holds Moose in his arms.

"Tell me again, "Poe asks. "Why you brought moose to work with you?"

It is the third time he's asked me and it getting on my nerves.

"I'm in need of comfort, " I snarl." He's my comfort animal."

"Did you ask Paige, if it was, ok?" Poe asks.

I stop short and stare down at Poe menacingly. I clench my teeth.

"I am the boss," I reply. I don't have to ask. She will do what I ask of her or she will find herself fired!"

A quiet falls between us.

"OK, Ok, whatever you say, jeesh." Poe answers. He lifts his hand in surrender. This doesn't disturb moose who sleeping in his arms.

"Ok, then shut up about it and let's get to work."

"Fine, Ok." Poe answers. He nods at me like a bobbing head doll.

I turn my head. Rey and Rose stand in front of me. Their jaws hang open stunned.

"Oh no, " I hear Rey mutter.

"F'ing Hell," Rose whispers.

I lift my eyebrow at them and nod.

"Ladies, good morning, " I said. My eyebrow lifts over one eye. I catch the weird look Rose

gives Rey.

"W-w-hat happened, boss?" Rose asks. Her eyes traveling down my body to my crutches. I

shift my eyes to see Rey finally close her mouth and swallow hard. Her hazel eyes stare at my cast. Was it my imagination or did she have a look of disappointment on her face. Did someone disappoint her? Hux maybe? Maybe he stood her up on their date. I shake my head of the thought. It's none of my buisness. I let out a heavy sigh.

I tripped over Moose," I answered flatly.

"Moose," Rey cries. "Oh, poor baby."

Rey reaches out and gently lifts the sleeping huge dog from Poe's arms to cradle him in her own. Moose goes gladly.He sighs content in Rey's arms.

"I hear you, pal, "I breathed.

"What?" Rey asked. She is rocking moose in her arms. Rey's little nose nuzzle Moose soft shiny coat.

"Mmm, you smell sooo good, Moose, "Rey moans."Did your daddy give you a nice bath this morning?"

I release the breath I didn't know I was holding and close my eyes. Dear baby Jesus. I then open them to find Rose still staring at me. A frown on her lips. Her dark eyes narrowed. I raise my eyebrows at her. What was her problem?

"I thought maybe you ladies can babysit him at the wardrobe dept while I work on set."

"We'd love too, " Rey squeals. "Paige would love to see him again."

Rey sets Moose back on the floor beside her and looks up to look at me. My smile freezes on my lips. My heart stops. My mouth goes dry. My eyes scan down from Rey's green eyeliner. It accentuates the green-blue, of her hazel eyes. Her soft chestnut brown is loose and curls around her lovely face. Silver hoops hang from her small dainty ears. She is wearing a light short brown leather coat with a crisp white silk blouse with two pearl buttons underneath. A delicate small oval diamond hangs around her long neck from a silver chain. My eyes travel down to her short light brown leather skirt. The color of brown sugar. My eyes roam slowly down her perfect long legs to the floor. Moose is sniffing at Rey's strappy black closed-toe sandals. I raise my eyes to meet Rey's eyes again. God. She takes my breath away. Is she dressed like that for Hux? Hux is lucky, lucky bastard.

Oh God, how am I going to survive, today? I have to talk to her about what she heard at the spa's meditation room before she reports me to HR.
