Crushes
Ben's POV
I wake up with Rey's head on my chest. I brush back some hair out of her face and she stirs slightly tightening her grip on me.
I hear a knock on the door and look down at Rey. She's to peaceful to wake. There's another knock. Rey's eyes blink open and look at me.
"I'm not getting that." Rey mumbles.
"Neither am I." I smirk back then kiss her forehead.
There's another annoying knock. Rey glances over at time. It's nine a.m. and I notice our clothes are scattered among the floor. Rey uses the force to pull over my shirt from yesterday. She leans up and slips it on, then settles back down into my arms.
I hear the front door open. Rey's eyes shoot to me and I stare back at her. There's a sound of boots walking and we both stare at the doorway.
"Rey?" I hear Phasma call out.
"Yeah, I'm in here." Phasma walks in shortly after.
"So I take it you guys made up." She looks around the floor at our clothes. Rey laughs.
"Yeah." She sits up. "What's up Phasma?"
"What's up with coming in our room? There's a reason we didn't anwser." I intervene.
"Sorry did I cock block you or are you actually decent under there?" She smirks looking down at the covers and back up.
"No, to both of those." I reply. "I think I'll go to the kitchen Want anything?" I look over at Rey who is sitting on the side of the bed.
You wouldn't.
I narrow my eyes and hold back a chuckle.
"You better not show me your birthday suit." Phasma spits at me.
"If Rey likes my suit how bad is it?" Rey leans over and smacks my arm. "Oh honey, I like your birthday suit too." She slaps my arm again then stands.
She walks over and grabs my sweats off the floor and throws them at my face. I laugh and place them on my head. I begin pulling back the covers and Rey grabs Phasma seeing what I'm doing and turns her around.
"So Phasma what do you need?" She leads her out in a hurry and looks over her shoulder shooting me a glare.
You know you love me.
You know you're a pain in the ass.
I smirk. But I'm you're pain in the ass.
Rey's POV
I roll my eyes at Ben's comment. We sit down at the table. "So I went out to breakfast with Poe and some of his pilot friends this morning."
"How'd that go?"
"Well the food was good, Finn seemed nervous by my presence, but there was this... girl."
"Go on." I grin at her.
"Ugghh." Phasma looks down and smiles. "She was funny, smart, and has this amazing smile." Her smile brightens.
"What's her name?"
"Umm... I didn't quite catch it."
"We'll catch it at the ball tomorrow night."
"I don't know if she's even going, but I know I need to try. Which is why I'm here?"
"You're here for what a pep talk?" Phasma chuckles, shaking her head. "Then what is it?" I ask.
"I have nothing to wear!" Phasma laughs and I smile at her.
"I think I know just the person to help us." I extend my hand out and lead her into the office. I sit in the swirl chair and she sits on the bay window.
"Who are you calling?" I pick up the phone and glance at the list of number and names beside it.
"Hello?"
"Leia, it's Rey."
"Oh hi dear, is everything alright?"
"Yes, but I have a question."
"Sure, ask away."
"Where can a girl go around here to find a dress?"
"Well, the base has a tailor and designer, who runs a clothing store as well. I can make an appointment for you if you like."
"That'd be lovely, but the dress is actually for Phasma."
"Okay, I'll make it for her. Does she or yourself mind if I tag along?"
"Oh please join us."
"Okay, I'll be right over."
"Okay, see you soon." I hang up and glance down. I am not decent enough to go out like this.
"I should change."
"I would suggest that. So Leia's coming, this should be fun."
"Yeah, mind staying in here? I won't be long."
"Sure."
I head back into the room and Ben is dressed making the bed. He fixes the last pillow and I run and jump onto the bed.
"Oh no!" I shout as I land on the bed messing it up. "Ahhh it's attacking me!" I playfully contuine as I throw my arms around, shifting through the pillows.
"You little!" Ben starts tickling me.
"Nooooo." I squeal.
"Yeeessss." He mocks. I grab a pillow and hit him. He contuines tickling me. I hit him again and he grabs the pillow trying to take it from me. I reach out with my other hand and grab another swinging at him. He laughs as he gets ahold of the first pillow and an all out pillow fight starts.
We fight until my pillow burst open against his face covering him with the feathers stuffed inside. I begin laughing uncontrollably when I hear a knock at the door and remember my plans. I glance over at Ben who has a feather perfectly sitting on top of his head. He glares at me and I stick my tongue out at him. "I win." I walk into the closet and change quickly.
Leia let's herself in and I walk out of the closet running my fingers through my hair to fix it up before I pull it back into a simple single bun.
I walk down the hallway and nod at Phasma to follow and she does. I greet Leia and call out to Ben that I'm leaving and we'll see him for lunch. As we exit we see Poe in the hallway.
"Hey is Ben still in there?"
"Yeah, you can let yourself in."
"Okay thanks Rey." He passes by and opens the door.
Ben's POV
Rey leaves and there's feathers scattered around the bedroom floor. I hear the door open and think Rey must of forgot something. "Forget something?" I call out to her.
"No, it's Poe." Seriously three people have let themselves in today, we need to lock the door.
Poe enters the door way as I'm lightly kicking feathers into a pile. He stands with his mouth slightly open looking down at the feathers. "I kind of want to know how those feathers got out of the pillow, but I'm afraid to ask because I'm guessing it has something to do with your sex life." Poe chuckles and I grin at him.
"No, we had a pillow fight and Rey beat me up pretty good with a pillow."
"Rey the simple scavenger, beat the great Ben Solo up with a pillow?" He laughs.
"Have you not heard how bad ass she is with her staff? She has freaking amazing combat skills."
"No, I don't know her well, but I do consider her a good friend. You as well, which is why I'm here. I need your help."
"My help, you want my help?"
"You're right, this is stupid." He turns and I follow him.
"No, it's not. What is it?" He walks into the living room and sits on the couch.
"Okay promise you won't laugh or judge me?" I sit beside him.
"I promise Poe."
"Okay, so first off I'm gay. I hope that doesn't make you uncomfortable."
"As long as I don't wake up and have you in my bed naked, I'm fine with it." I laugh. "Go on."
"Well that's tempting." He eyes me, then laughs. "I'm kidding Solo." He laughs again. "Anyways, there's this guy that I've had a crush on, but I think he likes this girl, so I don't know if he's straight, bisexual, or what he is really."
"So you want me to ask him since I'm with Rey and it won't look like I'm hitting on him?" I question.
"Well actually I don't have a plan."
"Well who do you think this guy has a crush on?"
"I don't think I should tell you."
"Well I could ask the guy and tell you."
"I don't think that'd work."
"Why not?"
"Because the girl is Rey." He blurts out. I look down at my feet. Someone likes my Rey? I don't blame them, but she's my Rey. I look back at Poe.
"Let's get you and this lucky guy together." I smile.
"You're not mad that someone may like Rey?"
"Well I could be mad and hunt this guy down, but I love Rey and Rey loves me. He doesn't stand a chance with Rey, so why make a big deal out of nothing? Plus we don't even know for sure." I explain while Poe smiles at me.
"You really have changed from the guy interrogating me to a kind hearted man." I smile at him. "Okay Ben." He puts a hand on my shoulder. "I'm trusting you and only you to know who it is okay?" I nod. "It's Finn."
Rey's POV
"Here try this." I hand a green dress to Phasma's hand sticking over her stall. Leia had the store reserved for us for the next two hours. I walk back over to a rack full of dresses that are Phasma's size. I grab another and walk back as she steps out. "Turn around."
She turns and looks into the mirror. "I look like a tree."
"Because you look like a breath of fresh air?" I smirk and Leia giggles.
"Haha, very funny, smooth talker." She turns and heads back in.
"Try this one on next." I sling a dark purple dress over the door to Phasma.
"Rey, can't I just wear a suit?" She says as I hear her unzip herself.
"No!" Leia says sternly.
"I was asking Rey." Phasma growls back.
"And I answered for her. Now hurry up and let's see."
I hear Phasma sign and she throws the green dress over. I catch it and hang it back up.
"How come you aren't trying on dresses?" Phasma calls out.
"I already have one." I smile.
"How do you have a dress?"
"Ben picked it out and I brought it in my box when we came."
"Again with that box? That's what was in it?"
"Yeah, along with clothes for me and Ben."
"Ben and I." Leia corrects me. The stall opens. "Wow." Leia breathes out.
"Oh my Maker." I say. "Phasma you look."
"Like an eggplant." She looks at the mirror and turns sideways. She turns a full 360 degrees and then strikes a slight pose. "Okay, a sexy eggplant."
"Phasma you look beautiful." Leia chimes in.
"Absolutely gorgeous." I walk up behind her in the mirror and put my hands on her shoulders. "Get the dress."
"I don't know." She bites her lip.
"That one girl is going to be there and she won't be able to take her eyes off you Phasma. Get the dress." She smiles and looks down.
"Shoes, I need shoes to judge this." Phasma says and Leia scurries off to a shoe section.
"What no boots?" I joke.
"All or nothing right?" She smirks at herself in the mirror again. "This dress really does show off my curves... I love the slit and how form fitting it is... just the right amount of cleveage... the open back is kind of new, but I like it, I think... but if I get shot in the back, I'm blaming you."
"Oh the price of beauty." I smile and she smiles back nudging me.
"I found these, I didn't know your size so I guessed." She pulls out a stunning pair of black heels that sparkle and definitely could be labelled an 'eye catcher'.
Leia hands them to Phasma who runs her hand over the rough, sparkling texture that bumps and gives off a 'I may look good, but I fight just as well'.
She slips them on and walks over to the mirror again. The shoes fit perfectly. She messes with the bottom of the dress and the slit reveals her leg and Phasma eyes herself biting her lip.
"I love it." She says as she chokes back tears. "I didn't know I could look this beautiful." I run up and hug her. Leia comes over and rubs her open back smiling. "Thank you girls so much." She cries on to my shoulder and pulls Leia into our hug.
A/N: Hey Everyone! Sorry about not posting for a few days, so here's a long chapter for you! I am currently working on characters that will be coming up and figuring out how I want this idea of mine to happen and deciding what is going to happen to certain characters, both new and already in the book.
Enjoy!
