Together, finally
Hours after the failed engagement, Maureen found herself drinking at her favorite club; one Joanne and her usually went to. She couldn't believe what she had done and that was why she was drinking.
"Everything okay?" Benny asked, running his hand up Maureen's back.
The drama queen tensed and sighed. "No. I screwed up my engagement." She snapped, turning to look at him, already tipsy.
"I'm sorry, Reen." He said, looking at her.
"You sorry? Whatever! I couldn't stop thinking about it! I was happy until you came in and ruined it!" She snarled, going to reach for her glass but found Benny's lips on hers.
Maureen stood up and wrapped her arms around him, pressing her body close to his. A sudden need for Benny appearing. She knew he was the one for her, knew it the first time they kissed.
"Let's get out of here." He said, leading her out of the club and to his apartment.
She nodded, following, not bothering to protest. I just got out a relationship. Can I really move on? She asked herself, biting at her lip.
"What's wrong?" He asked, hearing the sigh escape from Maureen's lip.
"Joanne and I just broke up." She replied, looking at him. "How long did you wait to come tell me you loved me?" She asked.
"The day I told you I loved you, was the day Alison and I decided to get divorced." He replied, meeting her gaze. "I really do love you, Maureen. I should have said something sooner and not proposed to Alison. I'm sorry." He said, moving his dark eyes to look forward.
"I'm sorry too. I love you, Benny." She said, pulling his face down only to press their lips together.
"I love you too, Maureen." He whispered breaking the kiss long enough to utter the words back to her, so thrilled that after all their sneaking around they were finally together.

I wrote this as parts, not a consecutive story. It was really crappy that I got writer's block at the very end of this fic. Please read and comment.
