5.1

A couple of weeks had passed by and Benito and I hadn't seen each other ever since he had left, but that didn't stop us from posting pictures with or of each other. The press buying it, so were my family and friends, and I had already had a couple of interviews. It was like anything else on this planet was completely irrelevant ever since Nicky had posted that picture of us. I was currently on the backseat of Benito's car; he was sitting to my left. He had bought tickets for a basketball game and wanted to take me there on a date. "How long are you gonna stay?" I asked him, looking at my phone. "We're gonna leave tomorrow morning." he answered, yawning a little. Benito was tired; only a few hours earlier he had landed in LA. His short stop was because he said, it be better if we hung out before he went on tour and I had agreed. As we entered the stadium, we took a few pictures with fans and then went to our seats. We were sitting in the middle of other people who were watching the game, but I didn't mind, I actually liked not getting attention. "I'll get myself something to drink, you want anything?" Benito asked, during the break. "No, I'm fine thanks." I answered, looking at him. He smiled, got up and went to where the food stalls were. When he came back, he handed me a pack of gummy bears. "Uh, thank you." I said, taking them. Taking a sip from his drink, he sat down again and watched the cheerleaders dance. Since I was not really a fan of cheerleading - meaning I thought it was boring -, I pulled my phone out and posted something in my Instagram story. Suddenly someone pocked my side, so I looked to my right to find Benito, looking at me. "What?" I asked confused. He pointed at the screen above the audience across from us. We were on there and while we were looking at it, a heart formed around us. "It's time for our kiss cam, so why don't we start off with Hannah Mason and Bad Bunny?" the annotator of the game said. Inside, I was panicking because we had never kissed each other, but I smiled and looked at him. Nodding, I signalized him that it was okay for me to do it. Benito flashed a smile, before laying one of his hands on my cheek. Slowly, he leaned in and so did I. When our lips touched, the audience started cheering. The kiss didn't last long, but it seemed to be long enough for the people around us. As I broke it, Benito pulled me towards his chest and placed another kiss on my head. 

From that moment on, we did that every once in while. We even started giving interviews together. The longer we were faking the relationship, the more normal it felt to hold hands with him or to take cute selfies with him. Two months into the whole thing, he had even met my family and I had met his. Honestly, I wish we could've left that out because my brothers really liked him, they were constantly asking about him. His mother, on the other hand, wanted me to marry her son; believe me, I had felt incredibly bad, when she had told me that. I knew that sooner or later, we were going to part ways and our families shouldn't have been dragged into this. "So, tell me, how long have guys been dating now?" Jimmy Fallon asked, as soon as Benito and I had sat down on his couch. "About six months, but kept it a secret for around four." I answered, smiling at Jimmy. "Did you plan on keeping it a secret for even longer?" he then wanted to know. "Yeah, we actually never wanted to make it public." Benito answered, leaning back in the couch. "And how did it get leaked?" Jimmy questioned interested. "Well, a mutual friend of ours took a picture at an after show party and posted it on Instagram when he was drunk." I explained, chuckling. "Interesting. Now, we have another guest with a surprise who will come in after a short break." 

"Welcome back everyone! Please, give it up for Robert Irwin!" Jimmy shouted, while standing up from his chair. I was a fan of Robert and had met him a couple of times which is why I greeted him with a hug. "So, as always when you're here, you brought some surprises." Jimmy said, directed towards Robert. Smiling, the boy nodded. "Yeah, five special guests." he then answered. "Who did you bring today?" Jimmy questioned. "First, we have Sandra." the boy replied, looking towards the backstage area where one of his assistants appeared with a little box in her hands. The box was covered with a red cloth, so nobody could see what was inside. "Sandra, is a Poecilotheria metallica." Robert explained, pulling the cloth away from the box. I admit that the spider in it was beautiful, but I was scared of these animals, so immediately I tensed up in my seat. As long as the spider was in the box, I didn't mind sitting next to Robert, but I knew him and I knew that he would pull her out of it. Slowly, they boy put his hand into the box and let the tarantula crawl onto his hand. "She's a little shy, but a beauty." Robert said, moving the hand with the spider on it towards me. I immediately jumped onto Benito's lap to get away from the animal. The audience started laughing, but Robert got the hint and put it back into the box. Benito was laughing as well as Jimmy and the boy. As soon as the box was carried away, I calmed down a little, but stayed in Benito's lap. I kind of felt save with his arms around me - he had immediately wrapped both of his arms around me, when I had jumped onto his lap. "Okay, next up, I brought Julia." Robert then said as his assistant came back with a snake in her hands. "Julia is an albino boa constrictor." he explained, while taking the animal from her. Slowly, he moved the snake towards Benito and me. I gladly let him put the animal around my shoulders where it calmly rested, before Robert took it away from my shoulders to put it onto Benito's. He immediately tensed up and it wasn't long until he asked the boy to take it away. Jimmy was up next and he was also a little scared of the snake. When the snake was backstage again, Robert laughed a little. "Karen and Kira are up next. So, Hannah, would you sit down on the floor and close your eyes please?" he friendly asked me. I nodded and got up from Benito's lap. The feeling that rushed through my body, when his hands brushed over my hips, was completely new to me. Shortly after I had sat down on the floor, I felt someone put something in my lap. "Okay, you can open your eyes." Robert said, when I felt the second thing being put down. I opened my eyes to see what it was. "Karen and Kira are white lion cubs as you can see." Robert explained, when he also got up from the couch. "Oh, my god, how cute!" I squealed, petting one of the two cubs. 

The last animal he had brought, had been a baby camel. Benito waited for me, before we left the studio. "Are you really that scared of spiders?" he asked amused, when I reached him. "Yeah, I got bitten by a tarantula on a vacation in Australia when I was around ten." I explained to him, shrugging. "Oh, well, that explains why you panicked." he then said as we walked out of the studio. "And you? Why are you scared of snakes?" I wanted to know, grabbing his hand. We were in public and Jimmy was also on his way to the parking lot, so we stayed in our roles. "I'm not scared of them, I just have a lot of respect." he answered, chuckling. "There has to be a reason though." I said, looking at him. "Just the over all knowledge that they're capable of killing you." he replied, shrugging it off. I nodded and looked down at the ground. "Not gonna lie, it was kinda cute, when you panicked." Benito stated, winking at me, when we reached my car. "Bye guys!" we heard Jimmy say next to us. Without saying anything, Benito grabbed me by my waist and placed a kiss onto my lips because Jimmy was still looking at us. Then I got into the driver's seat of my car.
