True Feelings

The next morning was bright, and beautiful. The sun was shining, and the park seemed to glow.

"Uhh. Grandpa, turn off the lights". "Ben , get up! Grandpa left an hour ago, and he wants us to clean up." "Fine, fine. I'll get up. I was having a cool dream to" Both cousins hated cleaning. Gwen was annoyed at the task at hand. She wasn't much of a fan of cleaning, while Ben just hated it altogether. He would try his best to avoid cleaning, whether it would be washing the dishes, or doing laundry. Once, he even went for a month without taking a shower. "Grandpa went out again. He said he might be back at around 5 o'clock. It's eleven now, so if we work together, we could probably finish by noon" Gwen had everything planned out. She wanted everything done; fast and easy. "Ben, I'll do the dishes, laundry, and vacuuming. You could clean the washroom, and make the beds"

"Aww man. Fine, I'll do it." He was very unhappy with what jobs he was stuck with, but he knew that Gwen hated this just as much as he did, so he just did what he was told to do.

"Hey Gwen, let me do the dishes for you"

"Why?" Asked Gwen.

"I want to be a gentleman"

"Yes. My cousin is trying to be a gentleman. This should be a good joke" Gwen chuckled at the thought.

"Hey! I could be classy if I wanted to" With that, Ben grabbed a rose from the vase on the window sill. Then he placed the rose in Gwen's hair. "A rose for the lovely maiden, and a kiss" Ben went on one knee, grabbed Gwen's hand, and gave it a little kiss.

"Wow! Ben's kinda...cute... when he wants to be"

"Oh my Ben, you have just swept me off my feet" Gwen was speaking sarcastically and pretended to faint, but she slipped and was really falling. She expected to hear a loud thud, laughter, and feel a sharp pain, but instead, she felt like she was stopped in mid air. That's when she noticed that Ben had caught her. And it wasn't any normal catch. Ben had one hand around her waist, the other softly around the back of her head. As if he had just performed a dip with Gwen while doing a tango.

"Gwen, are you okay"

"Wow. Ben is very cute from this angle"

Ben was worried. It had been a while, and she still didn't respond. He was about to call her again, but he stopped. Looking at his cousin. How her face was glowing with beauty. Her eyes, shimmering green orbs, lustful at the look. He was speechless.

Both cousins were lost in each other's gaze for about several minutes. It was only after hearing a baby start to cry, did the cousins snap back into reality. Ben had forgotten that he was holding Gwen up, and dropped her. It was a loud thud.

"OWW! Thanks dweeb!"

"Uhh...sorry Gwen. I didn't mean to..."

"Uhh! Whatever. Let's just go back to work" Gwen was very upset with Ben. She couldn't believe that there could be a person in the world who could ruin such a perfect moment. Ben was angry at himself. How could he ruin such a beautiful moment.

It was 12:30 when they finally finished cleaning. The van looked spotless, and both cousins were exhausted. "Finally, we're finished!" Ben was just glad that he didn't have to do any more cleaning. He jumped on the couch, grabbed the remote, but then stopped and didn't move for a while. Gwen was worried when she saw this. Usually, Ben would be looking for some random cartoon show to watch, but today, he seemed different.

Ben had so many thoughts rushing through his head. "Wait...It was television that caused that entire problem. Besides Ben, you already watched this thing so many times, lets watch what Gwen wants to watch" "Hey Gwen, catch" With, that, he tossed her the remote.

"Benjamin Tennyson, handing me the remote!? What's the catch?" Asked Gwen. She had one eyebrow raised higher than the other. "Nothing really. Just wanted let you watch what you want for a change"

"Um...ok?" Gwen was confused. She sat a few seats away from Ben as she turned on the television, and started flipping through the channels. After a few minutes, she found it. It was a love movie called "I Will Always Love You". It was about a guy and girl, who go through some troubles, but in the end, fall back in love with each other. Gwen loved this movie with all of her heart. It just made her so emotional.

"Oh My Gosh Ben. We have to watch this movie. It's called..." She was cut off.

"I Will Always Love You!" Ben said, with a somewhat excited tone in his voice. When he said it, his eyes seemed to glow. "Do you know this movie?" Gwen asked. Ben was turning red. He didn't want anyone to know that he knew about this movie.

"I heard of it" Ben lied. The truth was he loved this movie too. Probably not as much as Gwen, but still he loved it. He had seen it like six times. It was just beginning. (Lucky for them huh?) Throughout the movie, Gwen was just an emotional rollercoaster. She didn't fail to let Ben or herself know that this movie touched her deeply. The movie was mainly stereotypical love stuff, which Gwen loved. She had always dreamed of falling in love like in the movies.

Ben had felt like consoling her. He just wanted to hold Gwen through those really sad parts, to help her feel better, but he was afraid of what Gwen might think he was doing, or planning to do.

Gwen wanted to be held. She was sad, lonely, afraid. She wanted her knight in shining armor to come and sweep her off her feet. They would ride off together and live a happily ever after.

What the cousins didn't realise was that throughout the movie, they inched closer and closer together, until they were sitting right beside each other.

The last scene in the movie was the most love filled scene in the history of love scenes. The characters met at a lake at midnight. They were looking deeply in each others eyes. The sky had the perfect amount of stars, and was lit by moonlight. They embraced each other in their arms, not letting go for anything.

"Gwen..." Ben was a bit teary eyed.

"Yeah Ben" Gwen wad almost weeping.

"I have to admit. I love this movie, and this is my favourite part."

"I love this part too Ben"

As the couple in the movie started to confess their love for each other, Ben and Gwen were mouthing the dialogue. Ben was Jack, and Gwen was Amy.

"Oh Amy. How I love you so!"

"And I love you Jack, but..."

"Shhh. Do not talk about what tomorrow brings, or what yesterday has brought us. It is all about today"

"Jack"

"Amy"

"I will always love you Jack"

"And I will always love you Amy"

With that, the two lovers embraced in a warm, passionate kiss. Then the words "THE END" appeared over the television screen. Ben and Gwen couldn't help but shed a few tears.

Not knowing, Gwen placed her head on Ben's chest, and Ben wrapped his arm around Gwen. As the credits rolled, Ben started running his fingers through Gwen's hair, softly. She loved the sensation of his fingers through her hair, and started to make patterns on Ben's chest. Ben had just noticed what Gwen was doing, as of Gwen to Ben's fingers, but both cousins didn't stop. No. They continued their actions. Gwen buried her face into Ben's chest.

"Hey Ben..." Gwen asked softly. "Yeah Gwen" Ben answered just as soft.

"I love this moment"

"I do too, but not as much as I love....." Ben stopped.

" Yeah Ben" Gwen urged him to continue.

"Uh...not as much as I...love...Television" Ben's heart was thumping wildly. "Ben calm down. What were you doing!?!? You were about to say you loved your cousin!!!!"

"Oh Ben, I love y....wait what?"

Ben took his arm back from around her, and Gwen got up from his chest. Both cousins were very red. "I have to get some fresh air". With that, Ben was outside, which gave Gwen some time to think to herself.

"Gwen, what were you thinking?! Ben is your cousin! How do you know if you love him? How do you know if he even likes you back? Okay, so he's a bit cute and all, but still...he's your cousin. Just relax and breathe. You just got caught up in the movie, that's all. Just relax and calm down. There is nothing between you and Ben"

Gwen sighed. She knew she was lying, but it made her feel more comfortable. She didn't know what happened, or why it happened. She just knew that something happened, and now she unsure of what to do.

Ben was just outside on the side of the RV, just thinking to himself. "Man, what is wrong with you!?!? Why did all of that happen? What should I do? I know it's wrong, but it just felt so right. It felt like we were meant to be....listen to your self! If you're not forgetting, SHE'S YOUR COUSIN!!! Do you know how wrong this is even to be thinking about it? Man, I am so confused"

It was about ten minutes later when Ben finally decided to go back in. As soon as he got in, he saw Gwen, which made him blush hard. He went straight to his bed, not saying a word and rolling to the other side, so he wouldn't see her.

When Gwen saw Ben, she panicked. This was so much more stuff for Gwen than it was for Ben. She started to sweat. Her face was redder than blood. But when she saw Ben go to his bed, she was relieved, for a bit. She went to the driver's seat, and just sat there. Gwen checked the time. It was 9:07. Grandpa was late. Very late. Just then, the phone rang. Gwen went to pick it up.

"Hello?"

"Hey Gwen, it's me" It was Grandpa Max.

"Grandpa, where are you?"

"Well, I got stuck here due to some parade, and so I'm staying the night at a motel. Sorry I had to leave you and Ben together. Hope it wasn't too bad" He chuckled.

"No. It wasn't too bad" Gwen replied.

"Well, that's new. Anyways, I'll see you two in the morning. Love you"

"Love you to Grandpa. Bye"

With that, he was gone. She looked behind her to still see Ben facing the other way.

"Ben, Grandpa is staying at a motel, so we're on our own tonight"

"............................." No response.

"Come on Ben, seriously. How long are you still gonna keep think about it?"

"............................." Still no response.

Gwen was now annoyed. "Fine. See if u care, you doofus!"

"ZZZZZZZZZZZZ" Gwen finally got her answer of why he wasn't responding. She goes over to Ben and lightly tapes him awake.

"Ben. Are you awake?" She asked quietly.

"Huh...uh...wha...oh....Hey Gwen" Ben was still drowsy, and he was rubbing his eyes.

"Sorry to wake you Ben but, Grandpa called. He said that we will be on our own for tonight, so I just wanted to tell you"

"Oh...ok..." Ben lets out a big yawn.

"Oh Ben"

"...Yeah..."

"There's one more thing I wanted to talk to you about. it's important." Hearing that, Ben was just shot with a full dose of energy.

"Sure. What is it Gwen?"

"Well, it's about something you said"

"Yeah"

"Do you really love television?" Gwen was hoping that he would understand. Ben was completely puzzled with what she said.

"Do I love television? Well of course I do. Why would Gwen ask me that. Well, I said it today, but I....Oh. That's what she means"

Gwen was still waiting for a response.

"Well. Do you, or do you not love television Ben?" She seemed discouraged and disappointed by Ben's pause.

"Gwen. I am not sure if I do love television yet, but I like it a lot. I would love to be with television all day if I could, but I can't. I hope this answer's your question" Ben hoped he said the right things.

"It does. Goodnight Ben" And with that, she was away From Ben and on to her bed.

"That's it. I was hoping for a little bit more, but ok. She got her answer"

"Hey Ben"

"Yes Gwen" Now Ben didn't know what to expect. What happened next though, made both of them feel a lot happier and more sure of their feelings. Gwen got out of her bed, went on Ben's, and gave him a kiss on the cheek.

"I like television a lot too" Then she went to her own bed.

The code was broken. It was official. Both cousins had feelings for each other.
