Thanks to BourneBetter67 and Freakily Obsessed Yassen Fan for the reviews. :D Anyway, here is another chapter of 'Always Attract'. This is going to be the last chapter as I'm seriously struggling with this story and want to focus on my other story 'Love in cold blood' and some one shots that have popped into my head. Thanks to everyone who has read and reviewed this story, I hope that you've liked it.
Sorry for taking so long to update this story, I've had no inspiration and far too much work.
Disclaimer – Nothing has changed from the beginning of the story, I still don't own Alex or Chris and only own Benny and Katie.
Chapter 14 – Already yours
"Alex! Get your lazy ass out of that bed now before I set Katie on you!" Benny yelled from the bottom of the stairs. A few seconds later, she saw her boyfriend appear at the top of the stairs, a sleepy look on his face.
"What do you want?" he groaned.
"Nothing," Benny replied cheekily, "I just thought it was about time that you emerged from our room and decided to be sociable," she said, earning her a glare from Alex.
"That's not fair; Chris and Katie aren't up yet. And did you have to threaten me with Katie?"
"Yeah, it was the only thing I could think of that would work." At her response Alex merely shrugged his shoulders and proceeded to walk down the stairs to where his girlfriend was waiting for him. He jumped down the final three stairs and quickly swept Benny up into his arms before carrying her into the kitchen and setting her down on the kitchen counter.
"Now you've rudely got me out of bed I'm hungry. Pancakes?" he asked. Benny nodded her head enthusiastically and watched as Alex quickly set to work making breakfast for the two of them. As soon as he had finished the pancakes and put them onto the table, Chris and Katie came into the room, both of them staring approvingly at the pancakes that Alex had just made.
"Hmm, they smell nice," Chris said as he sneakily stole a pancake from Alex's plate, receiving a sharp kick in the shin in return.
"You're mean, you know that right?" Alex said to his tag team partner who nodded in reply. The two members of the Motor City Machine Guns glared at each other for a couple of seconds before Katie cleared her throat loudly.
"Now that you two have stopped behaving like 5 year olds, Chris and I have something to tell you," Katie said with a big smile on her face. Benny gasped loudly.
"Oh my god! I'm going to be an auntie aren't I?" she asked her friend cheerfully. Katie shook her head.
"No, you're not going to be an auntie, not yet anyway," she said.
"So what's this news then?" Alex asked. Neither Katie nor Chris replied to his question. Instead, Chris moved so that he was stood next to Katie and wrapped an arm around her waist. Katie then showed the other two the large ring on her left hand. Both Benny and Alex stared at the ring and then up at Katie and Chris.
"You're getting married!" Benny exclaimed, getting up from her seat and hugging the couple.
"Yeah, next year sometime. We've got a favour to ask of you two." Chris said, "Would you please be head bridesmaid and best man," he said, smiling when both Alex and Benny nodded their heads.
"Of course we will!" Benny said, "This is so exciting!"
"Yeah, congratulations," Alex said to his two best friends. Chris quickly turned to Alex.
"I'm sorry I didn't tell you mate, but you and secrets don't mix very well," he said. Alex simply shrugged his shoulders in return.
"Fair enough, I don't trust myself with my own secrets, let alone anyone else's," he said. All was silent in the kitchen for a second before Chris spoke again. Neither of the girls saw the quick wink that Chris sent to Alex, or the smirk that Alex sent back to Chris.
"Anyway, we thought we'd come and tell you before we go," he said, "We're going up to St Louis to visit Katie's parents before making a quick stop in Detroit to go see my parents. We should be back by Saturday," he said.
"Oh, ok. Well have fun," Benny said as Chris and Katie walked out of the room to finish their packing.
As soon as the door closed, Benny turned to Alex, a big smile on her face and tears sparkling in her eyes.
"I can't believe it! Our two best friends are getting married," she said, wrapping her arms around Alex.
"Yeah, it's pretty amazing," he said, looking Benny directly in the eye. Benny saw the look that he was shooting her and immediately questioned him about it.
"Alex, what are you thinking about?" she asked him.
"Just thinking about it would be like to be married to an amazing person like you," he said, wiping away a couple of Benny's tears that had escaped from her eyes. After a couple of seconds of silence, he spoke again.
"I was planning on doing this earlier, but you woke up early and kind of messed up my plans a bit. Anyway, better late than never," he said as he dropped down to one knee and pulled out a little black box from his jean pocket. Benny's eyes widened when she saw the box and she instinctively put her hands in front of her mouth in shock.
"I know we've only been together for a couple of weeks, but we've known each other and been in love with each other for around seven years now. It may have taken an accident to get us together, but it's going to take much more than that to tear us apart. I love you Benny, more than anything else in this world, much more than you can ever know. Please would you do me the honour of becoming Mrs Alex Shelley," he said, opening the box to reveal a beautiful yet simple silver ring with a diamond on it. Benny stared at Alex in shock, tears flowing freely down her face. Hesitating for only a fraction of a second, she frantically nodded her head. Alex let out a deep breath and took the ring out of the box before gently placing it onto Benny's ring finger. He pulled her up from her seat and kissed her passionately, putting all of his love for her into his kiss. Benny kissed back with equal passion and they only pulled away when the need for air became too great.
Before either of them could register what was going on, they heard a high pitched scream as Katie ran through the kitchen door and threw herself at Alex and Benny.
"Chris told me what you were doing. I've been listening at the door for the last 5 minutes. Please please put me out of my misery and let me know what she said," she said quickly. Benny couldn't help but laugh at her friend.
"I said yes," she replied, before turning to Alex, "How long have you planned this?" she asked him.
"Since we got together. I may have accidentally bumped into Chris at the jewellers so we decided to ask you at the same time. Unfortunately, you woke up early, but technically the plan still worked," he said, smiling cheekily at her. Benny smiled back before speaking.
"Wait, does this mean that we're going to St Louis and Detroit as well?" she asked. Alex quickly nodded his head.
"Yeah, come on, let's go and pack," he said as he grabbed Benny's hand and pulled her out of the room and up the stairs. As soon as they had reached the confines of their room, he kissed her again, this kiss even more passionate than the one they had shared in the kitchen only a few minutes before. By the end of it, both Benny and Alex were gasping for breath. Benny couldn't help but glance down at the ring, which sat on her finger. Alex noticed this and pulled benny in closer to him before whispering into her ear.
"I love you."
So, here's the final chapter. I'm not too keen on it, but like I said in the last chapter, I've lost all inspiration for this story and have so many more ideas that I wasn't to explore. However, I am quite proud of this story as it is my first completed chaptered story. Thank you to everyone who has read it. Please leave a review and tell me what you thought, either of this chapter or of the story as a whole. I love to hear what you think and constructive criticism is always useful as a writer.
