Chapter 10 Love
Beth's POV
I woke up the next morning laying in bed. But I don't remember going to bed the night before. Mick must have carried me to bed, which means I fell asleep on the couch. I laid in bed staring at the ceiling. Mick wouldn't be up anytime soon. I grabbed my phone which was on the bed side table. I looked and I had one miss call. I clicked the button to see who called me, Ben called. I sighed and dialed his number. I thought about blocking him from my phone. But I didn't, I rolled on my side and put the phone to my ear. It only rang once before he answered it.
"Hello?"
"Hello Ben, it's me Beth."
"Good morning, Beth."
"I only called because I had a missed call and it was you."
"Oh.." He sounded a bit disappointed but I didn't care.
"I called you last night to talk about what I did."
"Oh about what you did huh? About the kiss. I'm getting married and you kissed me!"
"I know, I'm sorry. Like I said it doesn't mean anything unless you want it too."
"I 'm getting married!"
"Are you saying if you weren't getting married to Mick.."
I saw Mick standing in the doorway and he was listening to us. I knew it looked and sounded bad.
"No! I love Mick, I would never."
I hung up on him. Mick knew I only said that because I saw him. If Mick wasn't there I would have kept talking to Ben to shout at him some more. He walked out of the room. I loved Mick and it looked wrong talking to Ben and saying that. I felt bad and I sighed. I got up and it hurt getting up fast. I ran to Mick, grabbing his wrist.
"Mick!"
"What, Beth. Did I ruin the moment with Ben?"
"Mick it wasn't like that."
"What then? I walk in on my fiancé talking to some man on the phone and talking about love and me."
"Mick. I love you I don't even like Ben that way."
My eyes started to tear up, I looked at Mick almost crying.
"It didn't look that way."
Mick jerked away from me and ran out of the house. I ran to the living room but he was done. I fell on the couch crying. I couldn't believe this, stupid Ben. Mick hates me now and I feel broken. I shouldn't have called Ben. I sat there crying until I couldn't breathe, I stopped and sobbed. I didn't know where Mick went. I didn't even know if the wedding was still on. My cheeks down to my shirt was wet from crying so hard. I grabbed the phone and dialed Josef's number. It rang twice then he answered it. I said in a hoarse voice from crying.
"Josef?"
"Yeah Beth?"
"Mick and I-"
"I know, Mick's here"
"Tell him I love him."
"You can yourself."
"Mick?"
"Beth?"
"Yes, Mick?"
"Please tell me that you don't love Ben."
"I don't love him, how could I when I'm in love with Mick St. John."
"I'm coming back to the house."
"Okay."
"Okay, I love you."
I hung up the phone and started to sob. The door bell rang, Mick couldn't be here already could he? I got up, I was stilling wearing one of Mick's shirt and my underwear. I walked over to the door and look on the screen, it was Ben. What the hell was he doing here? I opened the door which I probably shouldn't have.
"Ben!"
"Beth, you hung up on me. I had to come and say it face to face."
He pushed me out of the way and came in. He shut the door, I was already in the kitchen. I leaned my back on the counter for some support. He stood in front of me.
"I'm sorry."
"Get out!"
"Beth please listen to me. I'm sorry and I am so sorry if I hurt you."
"You ass! You made Mick and I fight."
"Guess he can't take the heat."
"Shut up!"
Mick walked in, bad timing again. Josef followed him and they both eyed Ben.
"Hello." Ben said.
"You asshole!" Mick shouted.
I was shocked he didn't vamp out on him.
"Hello." Josef said.
"I came to say sorry."
"Sorry! Oh for being a home wrecker?"
"It was just a kiss."
"Yeah a kiss to a woman getting married !"
Ben walked up to Mick, which I have to admit it was brave. Josef stood back and watched. Mick grabbed his shirt and punched him square in the nose with his vampire strength. He flew out the door and Josef followed him. Josef held him up and growled.
"You touch Beth, I'll personally kill you!Ben was speechless with fear and nodded. Josef let him go and Ben ran out. Josef left giving Mick and I alone time. Mick looked at me and said. "You okay?"
"Yeah he didn't touch me."
"He won't being see you any time soon."
"You broke his nose?"
"Yeah."
Without another word Mick leaned towards me and kissed me. I made the kiss deeper and he lifted me on the counter top. I broke the kiss for air and looked at him.
"I love you."
"I love you too."
Mick picked me up and ran to the couch. He set me down and I snuggled close to him.
"I was so scared."
"Of what?"
"That you might have fell for Ben."
"I won't, I don't fall in love out of my own species." I know what I said and I looked up at Mick.
"Uh well vampires don't count."
"Good, you scared me for an second."
"What could scare you?"
"You leaving me."
"I love you to much to do that."
"Same here, Beth."
My heart felt a lot better not so broken. I wasn't whole without Mick.
"I was so scared that the wedding was off from the fight."
"Nope, sorry Beth the wedding is still on." He smiled at me.
"I love you with everything."
"I love too."
