Next morning you woke up way too early for your liking. Unable to sleep when your thoughts kept you up at all times. Since it was way too early you decided to go for small run around the neighbourhood. Usually when you were at Ben’s place you tow together used to go for a run.

Afterwards getting dressed and folding the yellow sweater neatly on the back of the sofa you stumbled into the kitchen. Knowing your way around, you fed Frankie while making something for yourself before leaving. While you patiently waited for the tea bag to soak in the mug of water, you stood leaned against the kitchen island and looked out the window where later in the evening will be party. Your attention was at the pool where the morning sun was making the water sparkle.

“’morning.” Deep raspy voice made you jump. Turning around you saw Ben who was sitting at the other side of the counter and making himself a cup of coffee. In nothing but sweatpants.

“Good morning.” You smiled.

“Why are you up so early?” you asked him. If you were in his place after such long plane ride you would have slept all day. At first Ben didn’t answer, just got up and walked around you to pour water for his coffee. Then sitting back down he rested his elbows on the counter, holding the mug under his nose and staring at the counter.

“Well?” you asked with raised eyebrow. Ben was still debating on the answer.

“Nina snores like a bulldozer.” He said finally taking a sip of his coffee. His answer made you snort so loudly that it made Ben look up at you.

“Don’t tell her that I said that.” He quickly added with rise of his eyebrow.

“Never.” You smiled and took a sip of your own tea, then turned around to finish making your breakfast.

“What are you making?” Ben asked politely, while fishing his phone out of pants pocket.

“Belgium waffles.” You said, cutting up some fruit to go along with them.

“Can I have one?” He asked hopefully.

“You can have two.” You chuckled and turned around with plate of waffles in your hands. Seeing the food in your hands, Ben smiled like little boy first time in candy shop.

“Hell yeah…” He grinned putting down his mug of coffee. Both of you turned at the sound from the living room and the small padding of the feet.

“Hello…” you cooed at Frankie who had graced you two with her presence. But Frankie wasn’t the only one who graced your presence, because soon enough Nina showed up too.

“Where did you go, Boo? Left the bed all cold and empty.” Nina said yawning while coming into the kitchen. B-lining straight to Ben’s lap.

“Couldn’t sleep at such fine morning.” Ben looked at you. Then Nina looked at you:

“Good morning, y/n.” her eyes slightly narrowing at you, but then she noticed the waffles.

“Oh yummy.” She grabbed the fork and attacked the closest one she could reach. You only discreetly rolled your eyes and took a sip of your tea.

“Want one?” Nina smiled at Ben while seductively putting bite of waffle in her mouth.

“Maybe later, Nina.” Ben looked at his phone, appetite suddenly gone.

“I went for a run.” You started quietly.

“And?” Nina seemed uninterested by that.

“Without me?” Ben asked instead.

“You were sleeping, Ben.” You looked at Frankie instead of him.

“And I found the leash on the shelf and I took Frankie with me. So, you don’t have to take her outside for a while. She had so much fun running along and chasing birds.” You explained and wiggled your fingers at Frankie.

“You are a fucking gem, y/n. Thank you.” Ben seemed so thankful and genuinely happy for your help.

“I better get going.” You said noticing Nina’s expression and washing your mug.

With small nod you went back into living room to pull on your shoes and grab your stuff. You were almost ready to go when Ben stopped you.

“Hey. Why are you leaving so soon?” He asked, small smile playing on his lips. Damn, you were melting at that.

“You two probably have some catching up to do and I don’t want to interrupt your breakfast.” You answered politely.

“Well, for starters, it was mine and yours breakfast.” Ben smiled.

Was it, though? You wanted to ask. So, you opt for small chuckle and dodged it:

“I’ll be back for the party in the evening. See you then, Ben.” You wanted to hug him, already taking a step closer when your eyes jumped to the kitchen where Nina was leaning against the door frame, making you stop in your tracks. You decided that having an angry girlfriend on your enemy list wasn’t something you wanted.

“Okay, I’ll be going then.” You curtly nodded and went out the door. What you didn’t see was Ben turning towards the doorway and seeing how Nina ushered Frankie out of the kitchen to go back and finish your breakfast.

 Later that day you were getting ready for the party, when you received a message. At first you thought that it was from your girl squad, but checking your phone you saw that it was from Ben.

bEnJamiN: can we talk?

y/n: like now?

bEnJamiN: maybe not now

bEnJamiN: but sometime later

y/n; we gotta a party later

bEnJamiN: but before that?

y/n: busy till the last second, sorry

bEnJamiN: got it

y/n: don’t be salty now, Ben. What is it that you want to talk about? Nina?

bEnJamiN: well you didn’t let me finish last night

y/n: that’s dirty, Ben

bEnJamiN: YOU GOT WHAT I MEANT

y/n: don’t allcaps me now, it was your own fault for choosing words poorly

bEnJamiN: can I get to the point?

y/n: yesssss

bEnJamiN: I just want to tell you what you didn’t let me tell you last night

Biting your nails, you looked down at your phone:

y/n: is this something you want to talk about on the phone?

bEnJamiN: I would prefer to talk face to face

Shit, you weren’t ready last night, you are not sure if you are ready now. You really hoped that he would tell it on the phone, so you wouldn’t have to show your tear ridden face.

y/n: okay

bEnJamiN: I’ll see you at party and then we can talk. It’s not going to take long

y/n: you sound like my mum

bEnJamiN: someone has to be responsible

After that you didn’t answer. You weren’t sure what to tell him. With doubtful mind you were getting ready for the party.

  *****At the party

Well, you didn’t think that there would be this many people. You were getting ready for like ten to twelve people. But when you stepped into the house with your friends it added up to almost 27 people.

“This was not what I imagined when I planned this.” You said to Rose while walking into the mass of people.

“Who are half of theses people?” Maddie asked on other side of you.

“I have no idea …” you drawled out. Who was playing Awolnation’s Sail at the start of the party? You glanced around, trying to find some other people you recognized. But none. Everyone was yelling along the lyrics.

“Did Ben hire extras or something?” Rose asked pulling on your hand.

“Don’t know. No. Of course, not.” You said, trying to out-speak the volume of music.

“Hey, you go girls. I need to find Ben.” You decided to get things done. As the song changed to the Call my Name by Cheryl, you made your way through crowd, someone’s hand on your wrist stopped you.

“What?” you let out confused sigh.

“Hello, beautiful. From which side of the company are you?” some young man smiled at you. It was the first time you have seen his face.

“Do I know you?” you asked politely.

“I am Brad.” Guy smiled at you. Well, that’s a generic name- you thought. Also, was he trying to flirt with you or something, because it wasn’t going well.

“I’m Y/n.” You smiled but looked around, still searching for Ben in the crowd.

“So, what brings you here?” Brad asked.

“Friend.” You answered, eyes still searching.

“I hope just a friend.” Brad smirked. Damn it, you were here because of a friend, because of a friend on whom you have a fucking crush.

“Yeah…” you nodded.

“Care to join for a drink?” Brad asked. Honestly you were in no mood for a drink at the moment.

“Maybe later.” You tried to sound polite and not like total dick. Well, Brad didn’t take it too well.

“Come on, beautiful. One drink. With me.” He said stepping closer.
