Chapter 9

When Ben (finally) came back to reality, he continued his way to Meg. He just kept starring at her like she was a goddess or something.

Ben (to himself): God, what's going on with me??

Meg (noticing Ben): Hi Ben! I didn't see you at all. Let me tell you, this is really a nice place you have her! I simply love it!

It was like music to Ben's ears. He loved her compliments. The way she talked positive about something that belonged to him. Or even better: him!

Ben: Well, I'm done for now, and Mark will lock the place within a half hour, so I'm kinda going home. Would you still like to join me?

Meg (thrilled of the idea to be alone with him): Of course! Let me just get my jacket. I'll meet you outside.

Ben: Okay.

Two seconds after, Meg was standing next to Ben.

Ben: Are you ready to go?

Meg: Yes.

Ben: Good. You know, I have no idea why Tim, or whatever him name was, betrayed you. You are a really nice person...

Meg (blushing): You're just saying that to make me feel better...

Ben: No, really.

Meg looked into Ben's eyes. They were the bluest eyes she had ever seen. And there were something about them too. She didn't know what, but she felt so attracted to Ben...

Ben looked at her. She was so beautiful. God, was he falling in love? Was it really possible for him to love someone again after the episode with Maria? He didn't know, but he felt so attracted to Meg...

Suddenly, he couldn't hold it back anymore and leaned down to kiss her.
