29. Paradime of our love
"What are you going to wear at the fundraiser function?" Stacy asked as she vigorously typed away on her laptop sitting on her desk with her eyes glued to the screen while I leaned on the small space besides her fidgeting with my phone.
"Are we even supposed to attend ?" I asked without looking up from my Instagram.
Ooh! New grant gustin gif. The hell, how can some one look that hot and that smile. Damn.
"Beccs! Are you listening. " Stacy yelled out which made me snap my head towards only to find her all packed up and standing vigorously tapping her foot with a frown on her face.
"Uhh ?" I answered unsure. She cursed under breath .
"I answered your question in affirmation and asked if you will help me and the other staff with preps while you were drooling over your phone."
"Sure " I answered as I planted myself to my feet to catch up with Stacy who had started walking towards the elevator.
--------------------*---------------------
"Hi, you are right on time. I am making pasta and it is going to be epic. "
It was Ben tossing pasta in the pan over my kitchen counter in my house as I opened my door with keys.
" I gave you my spare keys for emergencies." I deadpanned mockingly.
I had given the keys of my apartment a fee weeks before seeing that he had been practically living in my house since our ' moment' . It was not bad because I was being greeted with home made delicious food and even delicious man but it was hard to ignore that he had been purposely avoiding going to his place. Nevertheless It was better to come back to an empty apartment each day.
" I was out of food ." He said while grinning sheepishly.
I smiled at his boyish charm and pecked his cheek out of pure adoration. He scratched the back of his neck.
" I'll change" I said walking to my bed room.
We sat on the couch eating the delicious food made by Ben while talking about most irrelevant thing in the world. It was undeniable that I had started getting used to his presence in my life. He was taking place of the constant in my life which terrified me sometimes honestly.
But him being with me had a good impact in my life. I was staring to stay in a euphoric state daily which cut down my need to drink. I was laughing more, enjoying more. I had started looking forward to come home to him.
Although I still miss my family, the feeling of loneliness had decreased a bit. Ben interrupted my train of thoughts.
" Hey i forgot to tell you that Jo and Janet will be coming on Friday for dinner. Jo wanted to taste my special chicken salad and i thought that it would be easy for them to get here for dinner than my home. I hope you are okay with that? "
" of course I am. " I said. Jo and Janet were family to me and since Ben would be making the dinner, I was more than happy and those of you who didn't get how Ben knew Jo and Janet let me tell you that since Ben hd practically moved in my house he had become bffs with the old couple to the point that now they consider him as their son.
A lot can happen in a few months time I guess.
" I have to ask one more thing. " He said looking uncomfortable and a little scared and his brilliant eyes sparkled under the dim lights of my table lamps.
" You are not going to ask for my kidney are you ?" I mocked
" No. I um-u " He hesitated
"Then?" I inquired.
" Will you be my plus one for the fund raiser next week. It's okay if you won't I will completely understand but I would really love to go there with you not that I am pestering or-"
"Yes. I would love too " I cut his rant in between.
For a moment or two he seemed to be in a shock like a toddler who was just given a candy island. His sheer charm made me peck him on his lips out of impulse.
His lips were soft yet had the firmness of a peach. I realised my mistake I cane out of my sudden impulsive daze and started shifting back slowly. His eyes widened for a second but he quickly wrapped his arms around my waist preventing me from shifting back only to pull me closer.
His lips claimed mine with a sense of lingering need which made my eyes shut. I felt his firm lips tasting the sauce of pasta we were eating which made my insides warm. I sucked his lower lip slowly and a moan escaped his throat which weakened my insides as I started feeling dizzy.
His hand snacked from my waist to the small of my back pulling me closer making me sit on his lap gently but desperately.
That night we lost into each other discovering the dimensions of our unnamed relation which made me an inch more close to him emotionally.
