Little Miss Little Miss Is So Wrong
JUNE 9, 2011 GEOFF'S
ADRIAN & DANTEAdrian walked into the restaurant wearing her red dress, looking surprisingly stunning that night. She was somewhat nervous to be going out with Dante especially after how he had treated her on their first date, but he apologized and after finding out that his brother had also tried to be with her, and dumped her he thought it was a second chance for him and he should not waist it. So he asked her out on a real date with no strings just her and him having dinner together and seeing if they might actually like one another.
"Good evening Mrs. Boykewich, will your husband be joining you this evening?" The waiter asked as he helped her to her seat. "What," Adrian asked surprised as she sat down and looked at the waiter in the face. It was not long before she recognized the waiter as the same man who had served both she and Ben the night they had come from their last doctor's appointment with Dr. Otavii. "Oh, no he won't be she said looking at the waiter he and I are no longer together, " she said with a little embarrassment. "I'm sorry to hear that Mrs. I mean Miss. May I get you a menu or will you not be dining alone this evening?" He asked feeling ashamed of his last statement. "No I'm meeting someone tonight ", she said feeling odd about the whole experience.
It was odd she thought to herself, here she was in a beautiful dress that she bought for Ben, going on a date with the very guy she had fooled around with only a day after she had kicked him out of their condo. She also felt somewhat ashamed about being here in the restaurant where she and Ben had their last date as a family. She felt as though she was being deceitful, dating a new guy when she and Ben were not officially divorced yet, until she looked around and saw two very familiar faces.
As Adrian looked across the room she saw her soon to be ex-husband being seated at a table not too far from her with the same red head she had seen him with at the party. Adrian looked as the waiter seated them both and left the menus on the table as, Ben began to talk to Dylan. For some reason Adrian didn't know why she became upset with the situation, and shed a tear. Just as she wiped the tear away she looked up and saw Ben turn in his chair to face her. At that same instant Dante arrived wearing a tan jacket jeans and a white collar shirt.
"Hey pretty lady, I hope I didn't keep you waiting long," he said as he kissed her on the cheek and sat down. Adrian then turned to see Ben still watching her, having seen the entire exchange. As she watched him looking at her she noticed something in his eyes as though a flash of anger had come to it, then there was a look of calm on his face. Instead of making a scene and yelling at her for being there with a new guy, Ben simply waved to her as he watched them, and turned to speak with his date. Adrian smiled at that, knowing that out of everything that had happened between them, Ben could still be civil.
So, she decided if Ben could be civilized and not become a jealous, spurned lover, then why should see. "So is that the ex or soon to be ex husband", Dante asked as he noticed Adrian staring at Ben from across the room. "Well if it is any of your business, yeah it is," she said a little sarcastically. "No offense he seems like a great guy and all, but he doesn't really look like your type." "And what would you know about my type." Adrian asked flirtatiously. "Even though I don't know you that well from what I do know of you, he seems like the nice guy goody two shoes type, and you seem like the girl who doesn't want to be taken home to meet the parents, he said with a smirk. "That smirk Adrian thought to herself just like Ricky's perhaps Dante was more her type, since she did seem to like guys who liked to play her games.
"Well you don't know him that well, because if you did you would know that looks are deceiving ", she said giving him a wink. "Well if they are, Dante said leaning in closer to Adrian across the table. "Then I can't wait to be lied too." This play on words that Dante could use with her gave Adrian a little thrill. She had never met a guy that liked to talk to her like that not even Ricky.
Antonio was her first he sparked that youthful energy she kept inside her when she was a child. But, she was no longer a child and even though he saved her from her loneliness he never really could see into her pain. Ricky was fun and thrilling mainly when it came to sex, but outside of that they never really had a flare for conversation, mainly because Ricky was the strong and very silent type. Jack was usually the lesser end of a conversation because he might have been nice to look at, but he never had a fire in him either. Max matched her intellectual level that few could put together, he was mature and he was strong willed and also noble.
As for Ben, well Adrian judged Ben on a different level from everyone else. He was sweet kind, innocent, and caring he was keen to her emotions more than anyone else she had ever met. She and he both were very emotional people and they allowed their emotions to guide them. Adrian always believed that was the real reason their relationship worked and why it also failed. But, as Dante admitted to Ben was also too nice, too nice for she thought. But unfortunately Adrian also thought to herself, thanks to her he was no longer innocent.
BEN & DYLAN
Ben arrived at the restaurant a little ahead of Dylan, and waited for her to arrive. The movie they saw was a romantic comedy of which he did not like, mostly because he had enough of romance, and decided that he no longer believed in love. But, Dylan was fun unlike every other girl she was knew and not complicated. She never met Ricky Underwood so she did not fall head over heels in love with him. Best of all she was still a virgin so she never had sex, got pregnant, or became obsessed with anyone. Also from what he could gather she also liked him, which is something she let him know the night of the party without any games.
Ben, was in awe of that experience at the party when they began to talk to one another. She actually told him about how her father ran an advertising firm in Colorado, and her mom was a schoolteacher. She had only two siblings and they were both still in grade school. She came from a small community where everyone was related to everyone so there were no secrets in their town. She also wore a chastity ring which showed her obligation to her church that she was not going to have sex until marriage.
Dylan he thought to himself might not be the girl for him, but she was the girl for right now and he needed that for now. Out of everything he had been through he thought to himself, "I need this to just be on a date without any of the complications." But, as he listened to Dylan talk about the movie and how she loved Jennifer Anniston, Dylan stopped talking because she noticed they were being stared at. "Ben, isn't that the girl you were dancing with at the party, the one who hooked up with your friend Henry."
Ben then turned in his seat to see Adrian sitting across the room and to see a smooth looking black guy lean down and kiss her on the cheek. As Ben looked at this site he saw a flash of red, and at that time his headache returned to him. "Man, he thought to himself why does God hate me so much?" I have to be calm about this, he thought. I'm on a date tonight, so it is only fair, and obvious that she would be dating again as well. So instead of losing his temper and attacking the guy that had just touched his wife, Ben simply gave Adrian a small smile and waved. He then turned around and continued his date with Dylan.
"So, is there something going on between the two of you Ben? " Dylan asked as she sipped from her glass of water. "Yeah, she used to be my wife, or still is my wife, we're getting a divorce." Ben said in a nonchalant manner. "(Spitting water) WHAT!" Dylan said as she heard his last comment in disbelief. Ben I thought you were only seventeen" she said in shock. "I am only seventeen." Ben replied back. "But I am about to turn eighteen and also about to get divorced as well." Ben said explaining to Dylan.
Dylan, I'm sorry if this catches you by surprise", he responded. "I'll say!" the young woman replied." "I've dated other guys before, Ben." "Some of whom were in relationships, but I've never actually been the other woman." She said in a whisper that only Ben could hear. "Dylan you're not the other woman, she and I are still married, but things didn't work out." "Mainly because we rushed into both our relationship and our marriage and we were originally together for the wrong reason. " "But, we both realized the mistake we made, and now we're both trying to get on with our lives" he said in the most sincere voice he could manage to speak in.
"If that's the case then why did you get dance with her at the party, and then get so upset when you found out she hooked up with your friend," she asked in a hushed tone. "Because, I still had and I guess still have some unresolved feelings for her I." "But, that doesn't change the fact, that we are no longer together and that because after what happened at the party, I guess we can never get back together", he said becoming sad at his own words.
"Ben, I'm sorry I just didn't know." Dylan replied as she reached across the table and placed her hand in his. "You know what lets, get out of here." She said with a sly grin. "But, we haven't eaten yet," he said as she began to pull his arm as she got up from the table and grabbed her purse. "I'm not really hungry yet, but I think we will both be hungry in a minute she replied. "Dylan I can't go my drive drove me here he said." "Well, I brought my car and if we sneak around back, I'm sure we can dodge him if we use the alley for cover," she said still smiling.
Ben was shocked that this girl whom he barely knew actually wanted to do something so sneaky with him. The only other girl that wanted something like that with him was Maria, but she had only befriended him as a request her father made in an attempt to meet with Leo. Ben, was a little angry at Maria for doing something so underhanded like that when they first met, but Maria, also admitted to him that she liked him too. So that was the beginning of their Bologna adventure together. Now here in his home town he had found another girl that allowed him to forget about his trouble, and just start to enjoy life again. With her he had no worries of pregnancy, or sex, or of her falling in love and becoming obsessed with some other guy, at least he hoped as much.
ADRIAN & DANTE
As Ben and Dylan ducked out of the restaurant, Adrian saw them leave and was a bit concerned. The flirty red head had Ben smiling and for some reason, and she didn't know why but that infuriated her. Adrian tried to pay attention to what Dante was saying, but she also tried to concentrate on where that girl was leading her Ben. "My Ben," she thought to herself. That was not the first time she had thought about Ben in that way. Ben was hers more than anyone else's more than his father's, more than his friends', and even more than Amy's.
She loved the fact that she was the girl that took Ben's virginity although she would never gloat over that fact she felt guilty for how it happened, but she knew if someone asked her would she have slept with Ben that night knowing of what would happen, even the pain of losing her daughter, she would have to say yes. She was honored by the fact that, she was connected to someone for once in her life. She, had that feeling with Antonio, but that was a connection that was lost, and that is why she gave herself to so many others. Ricky never even wanted that connection with her, no matter how hard she tried to create one.
But, Ben was the person who no matter what the consequences would always be hers. No matter how far apart they were, or who they were with they literally belonged to one another and that is what she wanted a connection. She realized that after he left the condo for the last time after returning the ring to her, she thought as she rubbed the ring still on her finger."Adrian, Adrian! Dante said as he tried to get her attention.
"I'm listening, you don't have to yell," Adrian said as her thoughts and attention returned to Dante. "Man I guess that husband of yours was more your type than I thought," he said looking at her with a grin. "In a lot of ways he was, we just weren't ready to be married," Adrian replied as she watched Ben and Dylan disappear through the kitchen doors. "Well looks like that date he has, took his attention away from you maybe I should take a page out of her book and do the same" he responded taking Adrian's hand and looking deeply at her.
"What do you mean by that," Adrian asked as she looked at him with smirk of her own. "Well, the last time I remember you wanted to get a tattoo, and I was wondering if you ever got around to getting one?" He asked in a very seductive manner. "Well, if I did what makes you think that after what you did, after the last time that I would show it to you," she responded with an even more seductive tone. "Because, you know that you want too, and after seeing your ex-husband have his little fun, it means you should be allowed to have yours too." "Well maybe if you play your cards right, we can both have some fun," she suggested.
BEN & DYLAN
As Dylan led Ben outside past the kitchen, into the alley they craftily made their way between the alleyways so Mike would not see them get into Dylan's car which was parked down the street, and drive away. Ben, was ecstatic with a rush that he thought only Adrian could give him. The need to disobey his father and just have fun with someone he thought. "Now Ben," she said looking at him with a smile as she drove her Dodge Avenger down the street, just because I feel sorry for you doesn't mean I'm going to let you take advantage of me," she said with a smile.
"Dylan, trust me I would never do that to you", he said looking at her intently. "Besides I'm a nice guy and you can trust me can't you?" He asked looking at her. "I don't know, I'm still trying to decide." She said with a grin. "I mean you haven't been trustworthy so far, leading me on at the party so you could sleep with me." "Then leaving me, and not even calling me the next day." "Now you spring it on me that you're married." "How do I know I can trust you," she said laughing.
"Well, technically I didn't call because I lost your number". And considering what happened at the party I should be given some slack, I was pretty emotional." "Also, I didn't lie to you about being married, I told you before anything between us happened." He said in an innocent dignified manner. "We slept together already," she said giggling. "Yeah, we slept together, and I was a perfect gentleman the entire night," he replied.
"All right," she said then lets have some fun tonight she screamed as she turned the radio up and opened the moon roof of her car. "Tell me have you ever let loose, Sausage Prince, she said taken on a serious tone. "What do you mean?" he asked becoming curious. I mean have you ever partaken in any illegal activity that might get you into trouble?" she asked. "Once, he said remembering his embarrassment of getting drunk at Geoff's.
"What about smoking, have you ever done that," she asked still in a serious tone. "What you mean like cigarettes, he asked. "If you mean the jazz cigarette yeah," she said reaching into her glove compartment, and removing a joint that had not been lit. "Where did you get this he asked looking at the joint in her hand. "I have my connections she said putting the joint in her mouth and pushing the lighter button on her car. Ben, became nervous as Dylan took the lighter from its holder and lit the strong smelling narcotic.
"Well, where I come," from she said as she inhaled the aroma of the joint, "its' puff, puff, pass as she handed Ben the joint. The joint which was making Ben feel dizzy, nauseous, and at the same time relaxed even his headache seemed to go away. "Dylan you do drugs? Ben asked as he looked at her in bewilderment. "Ben in Colorado, we don't really call smoking a little reefer doing drugs, its mostly like kids smoking cigarettes without the cancer." "It lets us have a little fun, and enjoy ourselves, which from what I hear is even better than sex, she said still holding the joint toward him.
