It was the day before Christmas, Miranda was off so she had decided that she would go to the mall to finish up her christmas shopping.
She got out the bed and went to take her shower. She put her clothes on and was out the door.
She got to the mall, parked her car then went inside.
She went into a couple of stores picking up things here and there and she didn't really see anything that piqued her interest until she passed by a store and saw the cutest pair of tennis shoes so she went in.
As she was walking in she smelled him before she saw him. The extra familiar smell of Benjamin warren.
Her and Ben had been broken up officially for almost a year and she really never saw him around the hospital.
She saw the back of his body and then turned around so she could quickly get out of the store.
She was doing a great job avoiding him and she wasn't about to end her streak today. The shoes could wait.
She went into bath and body work knowing that was a store that he would never even think to go into.
She browsed around and found gifts for a lot of her colleagues and even some family.
As she was checking out she heard a voice
"Miranda Bailey"
The voice that made her knees weak and the butterflies in her stomach scatter
She *sighed* maybe if she ignored it they would leave her alone
"I know you hear me"
She turned slowly
"Benjamin Warren"
"I knew that was you"
The cashier called for him
"I haven't seen you in a while how have you been Miranda"
Ben was able to get a good look of her face and body and she looked downright amazing
She had on a black long sleeve v cut shirt black jeans and the black booties that he had gotten her when they had went on vacation last year
His eyes traveled and they landed on her necklace. The one he had gotten her just before the shooting at the hospital
"Are you checking me out benjamin warren"
"Maybe I am" he smirked
She blushed
The cashier told her the total and got her all checked out
"Have a nice day" miranda told the cashier and she began to walk out
"So you aren't going to tell me bye" ben said
Miranda chuckled as he started walking next to her
"Well seeing as how i was actively avoiding you" her voice trailed off
"Why were you avoiding me?" his face showed concern
"Because if I seen your face and those eyes i woudve caved"
"I wouldn't have been able to take the time i needed to fix myself"
"Mhm i see"
"Well i guess i'll see you around"
"Can i walk you to your car "
"If i say no you are going to do it anyways so"
Ben laughed, she was absolutely right that's just how he was raised.
He grabbed her bags and began walking with her
They got to her car and Ben scoffed
"You are such a copy-cat"
She laughed
"You're Not the only one that can drive a tesla Benjamin"
Her saying his name made him clench his jaw
"Yea ok, what did you do with your other car?"
"It's in my driveway"
"Right well i'll let you be on your way it was nice seeing you"
"Same to you benjamin"
Ben walked to care and exhaled a breath he didn't know he had been holding.
Miranda looked amazing, truth be told he missed her so much.
He'd contemplated calling a few times always falling short of a final answer. She asked for time so that's what he would give her.
Arriving home Miranda but her stuff down and called callie
"Hello"
"Guess who was just at the mall"
"Well hello to you to miranda"
"Yea yea all of that"
"Who was at the mall"
"Ben"
Callie gasped "did you talk to him"
Miranda told her all the details of their conversation
"Oh wow he definitely wants you back"
"Girl no he doesn't I broke up with him"
"So what"
"Ugh callie he cant want me back"
"Why cant he, you want him back"
"That's hardly the point"
They finished up their conversation then miranda headed to bed
It was christmas eve and again miranda was off.
Tuck was with his father for the rest of the week so she was really bored.
She decide that she would treat herself to brunch
Once she was at the restaurant she noticed that she was parked next to a familiar car. She couldn't quite place her finger on it though
She walked in and told the waiter she would just sit at the bar
"Hi ma'am what can i start you off with"
"Hi can i get a sangria lemonade"
"Coming right up"
"So you're taking claim on my spot now i see"
It was that voice again
Without turning around Miranda said "benjamin warren are you following me"
"Nope but if i were i wouldn't tell you"
She rolled her eyes and he sat next to her
"What can i get you sir"
"A Vodka cranberry"
"Are you here alone?" Ben asked miranda
"Wouldn't you like to know"
He chuckled "well"
"Yes im alone"
"Great you're gonna have brunch with me" ben said just as the bartender sat their drinks down
She didn't even get a chance to give him an answer before he was pulling her to a booth to sit down
"You never let me accept your invitation"
"Well you didn't have to I did for you"
The butterflies between her legs started to get active. This was something she loved about Ben, he knew how to take control in and outside of the bedroom"
Thoughts of him being on top of her having his way flashed across her head making her smirk
"Why are you smiling at me like that Miranda"
"Dont say my name like that benjamin"
Were they... Flirting
A waitress came to ask if they were ready to order
Ben already knew what she wanted so he went ahead and ordered it for her
"So you think you know me huh"
"I do" he smiled at her
"How's it?"
"He's good getting taller everyday he's gonna be taller than m soon"
Everyone is taller than you benjamin
She kicked him softly up under the table and he giggled
Their food came and they ate in an comfortable silence that was broken by Ben
"I miss you"
His confession almost made her choke on her pancakes
"Ben" she said softly
"Life isnt the same without you baby"
Him calling her baby made her breath hitch
"Ben" she said again
She was about to admit something that she hadn't even admitted to herself
He looked at her. He was a patient man
"I miss you too" she gave him an assuring smile
"That was dramatic"
The waitress came back with the check and miranda picked it up before Ben could
"You know you're not paying right"
"I am and you can't stop me"
He slipped out of the booth and sat next to her
He but his hand on her thigh and leaned in close to her face
She closed her eyes briefly taking in his scent and before she knew it he was back on his side with the bill and his card out
"You were saying"
Ben walked her to the car.
"So really you knew i was here"
"No what-" then it clicked the car she parked next to was Ben's car
"It looks that way but i really didn't"
"Mhm i believe you"
He grabbed her hand and pulled her in for a long hug then released her
Leaving her standing while he pulled out of his parking spot
Ben knew what he was doing and so did she
He left her wanting more and more every single time she saw him
She drove to the hospital because after spending her morning with Ben she realized that being alone for the holidays was something that she no longer wanted to do
She walked to Richard's office
"Bailey aren't you off today"
"I am but-"
"Let me guess you miss cutting"
"See you get it "
He laughed at her "well you can take my surgery I have a chole o.r 3"
Thanks chief
She went and quickly changed her clothes then scrubbed in
She didn't bother to engage in conversation because she honestly needed time to think
She felt someone staring at her
She looked to her right and saw Ben
"Oh my goodness i just can't get rid of you"
"Hello to you to "
"This is the most times we've seen each other in these whole 6 months"
They laughed together
"Well i think that you're following me" Miranda said
"Or is it the other way around"
"Never"
The surgery finished and everyone was out of the O.R except for Miranda and Ben
"Hey i meant to ask where is Tuck gonna be for christmas"
"With his father unfortunately"
"Well you shouldn't be alone on christmas"
"Who says i'm going to be alone"
Ben knew that she was just talking
"Right well I bid you farewell"
Miranda finished up then went home
She dreaded walking into her cold lonely house but she did it
She decided that she would make herself some cookies and watch christmas movies that would give her some joy
She turned on her music and started to mix all of her ingredients
While she waited for them to bake she sat down to watch the last holiday with queen latifah and ll cool j
About 10 minutes into the movie she heard a knock on the door
Thinking it was probably her pizza
When she opened it.
Standing there with her pizza was Ben
"Wow you are such a stalker"
"What happened to you not being alone" he smirked
"Shut your mouth" she moved out of the way as he stepped in and went to the kitchen
"Oo i'm right on time for cookies"
"Who said you could have some"
"Umm i did duh"
She walked out of the kitchen with him hot on her heels
"What are we watching "
"I'm watching last holiday"
He sat down on the couch next to her
"I love that movie"
She rolled her eyes again and pressed play
A few moments later the oven went off and she went to get the cookies out
As she bent down she felt hands on the sides of her body
"I got it" ben said moving her out of the way
The heat from the oven and the heat from his body made her extremely parched. She quickly got a bottle of water and leaned on the counter.
Ben came in front of her placing both hands on either side of her
He leaned down to her ear and whispered "am i making you hot"
That almost sent Miranda over her edge and she pushed him away
She pulled down two bowels for cookies and ice cream and returned to finish watching the movie
Once they finished eating Ben pulled Miranda's legs into his lap
She didn't know why she was letting him do whatever he wanted to her
Truth be told he owned her body. Down right ruined her for other men and they both knew it
The movie was over so they tried to pick one together but Ben was making that so hard to do.
He would rub his hand up her leg getting dangerously close to where she desperately wanted his hands and had to pretend like she didnt notice every single time
He did it again but this time he went up farther than he had been before
She bit her lip and closed her thighs tightly holding his hand in place
"What are you doing"
"Nothing at all"
"Well rubbing my thigh is definitely not nothing"
He chuckled
"Do you really want to watch another movie" she asked
He respond "nope"
Then took his left hand and ran it up miranda's body to her mouth
She kissed his palm then put his finger in her mouth sucking it softly
Ben took that as his go ahead and pulled her onto his lap
She looked down at him then leaned in to kiss his lips
She moaned she had missed this
The silence of the house and Miranda's moans were driving Ben crazy
She grinded on his lap knowing that would make him groan
"Fuck"
Ben debated taking her upstairs but he needed her not now but right now
She pulled her shirt off and helped to take his off he used his free hand to take off her bra
She grabbed the back of his head as he sucked and licked her nipples
He moved her off of him so that he could take his pants off
He stood up and she stood up in front of him her top half naked
She grabbed his belt undoing it
Pushed his pants and boxers down and started kissing down his body
She stopped as he got face to face to his dick
It was big and pretty
She kissed the tip then pushed him back on the couch
"Miranda" Ben moaned
"Shhh"
She wrapped her mouth around him and took him in her mouth inch by inch
Bobbing her head up and down
All Ben could do was moan
She started to use her hand and mouth causing him to jerk
"Fuuu-"
One more stroke and he came right in Mirand's mouth
She swallowed every drop then kissed back up his body
He was sweaty and still breathing hard
He was worn out but he refused to go down without a fight he picked her up and walked them to her bedroom
He put her on her dresser took her shorts off and licked her clit
She had left her body
Ben slurped and licked making her back arch and her toes curl
When he added a finger she slumped over and orgsmed in Ben's mouth
He picked her up and placed her on the bed
"You taste amazing"
She blushed
He wasted no time and slid right into her
The familiar feeling of him being inside of her made her wetter that she already was
Her legs had him locked in place his mouth was by her ear and hers was by his
She moaned in his ear making his body quake
He kissed her
"You feel so fucking good baby" ben said
"Im about to cum Ben"
"So do it" ben told her
So she did. Wave after wave it felt like a tsunami
The tightening of her walls made him spill inside her and he could only pray to God that she was still on birth control
Ben pulled out of her and laid on his back
She looked over at him and the sweat on his body revved her back up
She climbed on top of him and sunk down
She rode him until they were once again both cumming
"Miranda bailey you are an animal"
She laughed
He swept his tongue down her body tasting her sweat
"Stop being nasty"
They fell asleep wrapped in each others arms
When Miranda woke up on christmas she rolled over expecting Ben but he wasn't there she figured that he had left until he came in the room
"Merry christmas baby"
He kissed her
"Merry christmas"
" i made breakfast'
"Well give me a second and i'll be down soon "
"Ok no rush"
She began getting out of bed and he smacked her butt
After they finished breakfast and cleaned the kitchen
They sat down and watched another movie
" hey i'm gonna run to my car really quick"
"Ok"
She pulled him in for a steamy kiss "don't be to long"
When he was back in the house the continued to watch the movie
Ben's mind was racing. He was about to do something so bold and he didn't know how miranda would react
He paused the movies and she looked up at him
"Everything ok?"
"Marry me"
The air in the house suddenly got then and miranda forgot how to breath
"Come again"
"Marry me"
"But why-"
He pulled a white box out of his pocket
Miranda had already stopped breathing
"I bought this before you broke up with me. I kept it because I knew that we would end up back together. I asked your dad and tuck and richard. All the important men in your life all signed off"
"Are you being for real" miranda's tears were racing
"Of course I am a baby you're amazing. With everything you do you leave me in awe. You are such a good mother to tuck and i could only imagine how you would be with our kids"
"I want to marry you i told you that and it hasn't changed"
"If i could wake up and go to sleep next to you every morning that would be a dream comee true plus the sex.. My God the sex is out of this world"
She pushed his shoulder and chuckled
He got down on one knee "know that with this ring i'm promising you and tuck lifetime of happiness and joy and i'll make sure of that even if i have to sacrifice myself in the process"
Miranda knew that he meant every word
On one hand she couldn't see herself saying yes but on the other this is what she wanted and that hand was the one that she wanted to go with
"Miranda Bailey will you marry me" he opened the ring box
She almost passed out
The ring was the one that she had showed him one day when they were out
"Of course i'll marry you"
"Wait it was that easy i don't have to fight with you about it"
"Like you could"
He slipped the ring on her finger and kissed her
The thought of being his wife turned miranda on to the max
She grabbed his hand and pulled him to her bedroom pushing him on the bed and climbing on top of him
"Merry christmas baby" he said
"Merry christmas Fiance"
The end
