Hi Guys and welcome to chapter 13 of Business Intern. So, I know I've already raved about this, but I'm doing to do it again. The Descendants 3 teaser was released, and all we know is that Mal meets her dad. I'm so excited and yet we all have to way another half and a half almost to get it! I'm planning a full on Descendants binge soon, reading the books and watching the films all in chronological order! I'm just so excited!

So, I won't keep you anymore, so here is Chapter 13/15!

Carlos POV:
After dropping the laptop to a very kind lady who said she'd have it done my tomorrow, I got back into the lift, and made my way up to floor 55, hoping that Ben was done, or at least close to finishing. The lift ride up took longer that usual, and when I stepped onto the floor, I only saw a few people remaining out of the 25 that usually worked here.

Ben's office was still completely tinted, but at least his door was open this time, and I took that as an invitation to walk up to it. I peeked in, seeing Ben sat at his desk running his hands through his hair, typing stuff into his computer and then huffing and removing it again. I knocked on the door, causing his head to shoot up and give me a fake smile.

"Hey" he said softly, and I could see he was trying to avert his attention away from the computer screen, but his eyes kept glancing down and back up at it.

"Hey, stressful day?" I asked, causing him to huff as he leaned back in his seat, hands still running through his hair. "Xander said something about a shareholder backing out or something" I replied, walking into his office, and taking a seat on his sofa.

"Yeah, although we managed to convince her to stay at a rather large cost. Whether she's worth it or not I don't know" he replied, and I nodded. I could see how stressed Ben was with this, and decided that I needed to help in some way, that way obviously being…loving. I got up from the sofa, and spun his chair around, so it was facing me and the back wall. I smirked at him, while I straddled his legs, placing small kisses onto his face as I did so, and I could see a small smile growing on his face as I did so. "I love you" he whispered into my ear, nibbling slightly at the lobe, causing me to chuckle and moan.

"I love you too" I replied, and started to place kisses down his cheek and onto his neck, before sucking and biting at a certain spot I knew he loved. It was all going so well, until we heard someone clear their throat from the office door. I looked up, and saw Belle and Beast stood there, Belle with a large smile on her face, and Beast showing no emotion whatsoever. I blushed massively, pulling myself away from Ben's lap, as he spun the chair around to face them.

"Any word son" Beast said, and Ben cleared his throat before speaking.

"Yeah, if we swap…." And so on he went. Something about pulling out of certain business deals or trying to increase their marketing and advertising. I got that Beast reminded him that they were trying to save money instead of spending it, but Ben insisted that it would work, saying that with increased marketing would be increased sales, which Beast actually agreed with, despite the fact he argued with it. Ben finished his statements with "Just let me take Carlos home, and then I'll be back" causing me, Belle and Beast to raise an eyebrow.

"Ben, I can get home on my own" I insisted, trying to act strong in front of his parents, whereas in reality I was so glad that he said he would.

I think my mouth was saying one thing, but Ben read what my eyes were telling him, and repeated "No, I'm backing you home." Thank the lord. The grabbed his jacket, and ensured Belle and Beast that he would be back soon before the pair of us got into the lift.

"Thank you for this" I said, as he pulled me into a hug, kissing my head.

"No worries. I hope you know that I'm never letting you walk out of this building alone again" he half joked, half seriously meant it, and I just chuckled. Xander was still sat at his desk when we left, and Ben told him that he could leave, which I thought was nice. Xander insisted that he'd be ok to stay, but he was secretly grateful that he could leave. After a half-hearted argument from Xander, he finally logged of his computer, and walked out with the pair of us to the car park. As usual, we exchanged our goodbyes as Xander reached his car first, and before long Ben and I were leaving as well.

"Please don't work too late" I said, and then realised how much of an overprotective boyfriend I was being. I just started to laugh and he chuckled as well. "And text me when you get home! Don't forget to lock the doors and set the alarm and…" I continued, fully in a fit of laughter now.

"Don't worry mum, I'll be fine" he chuckled back, before proceeding to ask how my day went. I explained to him what Chad and I did, which he also found interesting especially when I said about how I programmed the machines. "It's cool that you're keeping the laptop as well. It'll be a reminder that you made it" Ben replied, and I nodded in agreement. Ben filled me in on his day, which sounded like a lot of stress and anger.

He said that Xander spent the day running up older files that had been kept when the business was first set up. Apparently, they hadn't been placed into the system yet. Anyway, the shareholder promised to stay, but wanted a bigger share in the company, and they had no choice but to agree. If she pulled out, then everyone else would apparently, so she was important to the business. We pulled up to my house, and I gave Ben a peck on the lips before heading inside, watching him pull off from the drive.

The rest of the week wasn't as stressful as Monday was. On the Tuesday, Chad and I looked into the phones, which was interesting causing I had never taken one of those part before.

Ben was still up in his office, but Belle and Beast didn't accompany him today, so I didn't feel as bad for interrupting. We did share lunch together, but it was in his office, and he was till working as we did.

It seems by the end of Tuesday, Ben had sorted out the issue and was back to his usual chipper self.

Wednesday, I worked on the tablets, Thursday the AuraBox, which was also really interesting, and that's brings up to now, Friday 4:00pm

I was back at all the machines as usual, and the whole day we had been working on the watch. Instead of taking one apart like we usually did, Chad showed me the individual components, and how each of them would work, which was exciting. Anyway so Chad and I, mostly Chad, had programmed the machines to start building the watches, and we placed all the necessarily tech onto the conveyor belts. We watched each process be completed, all the screws being put into place, and the strap being attached to the watch, and when we reached the last robot, Ben was stood there to my surprise. He picked up a finished watch, and did the usual 'spin it around' when you get something new.

"Looks really good" he beamed, as he placed it back down on the conveyor belt.

"We'll get these up to floor 35 right away sir" one of the workers said, collecting all the watches being completed. If I counted correctly, 24 were produced and shipped away.

"So, we're all done here" Chad said, as he approached the pair of us from behind. "The watches are done, and hopefully should be working by tomorrow with the prototype programming" he continued and Ben nodded.

"Perfect, then we can alpha test them" Ben replied and Chad nodded, a small smile growing on his face, which I instantly became suspicious of as Ben shared the same smile. "Speaking of alpha testing them" Ben started, pulling a small box out of his bag. "We want you to have this Carlos." He continued as he handed the box to me. "It was the first every A-Watch produced, fully fitted with all the programming and facilities. I want you to be one of the 25 alpha testers. It's got a red, black and white strap for you as well" Ben finished, as I opened the box, and lo and behold he was correct.

The watch looked perfect, and when I tapped the screen, it loaded instantly showing me my hexagon design in full effect. "T-This is amazing!" I said, strapping the watch around my wrist before pulling Ben into a massively tight hug. "I love you, I love you so much!" I repeated, kissing Ben all over his face. I could hear Chad chuckling behind us, and Ben was stood there slightly stunned I think.

"Well, I best be going" Chad said, making his way over to the lift shaft, not that I was paying that much attention to him.

"Hey, don't worry about it C. It's the least we could do for you." Ben replied, as he snuggled into the hug. "Come on, let's head off." Ben said, but I was rather reluctant to follow, sadness slightly infiltrating my face. "What's up C? You went from excited to sad almost instantly" Ben commented, as I started to slowly follow him.

"It's just today's my last day. The last time I'm going to be working here" I replied, and he nodded, obviously sympathetic to my plight.

"Come on, let's head off." Ben repeated, and I nodded as we waited for the lift. A couple minutes later, and I was riding the last for what could be my last time, and that thought made me cuddle into Ben even more. He just chuckled, and when the doors eventually opened, I saw that everyone was stood waiting for us. Everyone I had worked with come and said their goodbyes, which only made me more emotional and after about 10 minutes, I finally left the building.

When pulling away from the office, I had a few tears in my eyes, but tried to remain strong, key word being 'tried.' I noticed that Ben wasn't taking me home, but decided not to question it. Knowing him, he was talking me for a 'farewell' meal to try and improve the situation. We pulled up to a quaint little coffee shop, ordered what we wanted and made our way into a booth on the far side of the shop.

"So, how are you feeling?" He asked, and I just chuckled and shook my head.

"A little better, it's was just sad you know. But, I'm starting university in a couple weeks, so I should be ok" I replied, and I saw a cheeky smile grow of his face.

"I wanted to talk to you about that. I was talking to everyone in the office, and they all agreed that you were brilliant at all your jobs. I know you have your heart set on university but…" he said, pulling a piece of paper out of his bag. "I wanted to offer you a job at AuraTech. You'd be a Generalist Director, so that you allow you to complete any tasks that you wanted, and you could help out anywhere" he finished, as I picked up the paper, and read through it.

'Carlos De Vil-Generalist Director' as well as an extensive job description with Ben summed up before. What caught my eye was the salary at the bottom of the page '£75,000'

"Ben I-I" I started to stutter, looking down at the paper and then back up at him. "I don't know what to say" I continued, panic slowly starting to rise. Lots of thoughts started to race through my mind. 'This is a great opportunity! Think about it! You'd be doing the job you always wanted!' One side argued, which was completely right. 'But your heart is set on university! You've wanted that you're for ages, and you worked so hard for it.' The other side argued, and I had to agree with that more.

"I'm sorry Ben. I appreciate the offer, but I can't. I want to go to uni. Even you've said how amazing it is, and I want to experience that" I finally said out loud, essentially making my decision final. I finally looked up at him, seeing his fake smile plastered over his face and the hurt in his eyes.

"No, it's ok C. Don't be sorry. You've always said about university and how you've wanted to go" he replied, trying to act like he wasn't hurt. I passed him the paper back, and he placed it back into his bag, as we tried to enjoy the rest of our coffees, no matter the awkward atmosphere on the table. It was Ben who spoke up first.

"I want to pay for your university experience" he said, causing me to choke on the drink I had in my mouth.

"What?" I managed to pant out, still trying to recover my breath after choking.

"I want to pay for everything. Your tuition fee, your accommodation and I want to give you some money to live off" he continued, and I shook my head.

"Ben no. I couldn't ask for that! You've already done so much for me" I replied, furiously shaking my head at his offer.

"Carlos, let me do this one last thing. I'll talk to the university, and pay for your tuition all at one, and every month, I'll give you, I don't know, a grand to live off" he replied, and I continued to choke, now just on air.

"Ben, I can't ask you to do that!" I replied, still slightly stunned by what he had said.

"I don't care. I'm going to do it anyway. Please don't make do it behind your back" he continued, and I knew he wasn't going to give up on this, no matter how stubborn I was. Eventually I let out a rather large huff, and proceeded to speak.

"Fine. And thank you Ben. As much as I don't want it, I realise how lucky I am to get this, so thank you" I replied, placing a small kiss on his cheek as I did so. The mood was lifted from then on, with the pair of us making small talk.

When we got back to my house, I realised that everyone had gathered, and I mean everyone, for a small 'farewell' party where I made a toast thanking everyone for what they had done for me.

We all shared a dance, a chat and a laugh and it made me realised how grateful I was to have gotten that internship.

So, the internship is finally over, and Carlos rejected the job offer! Instead, Ben has decided to pay for Carlos' university experience. I wonder how the pair of them will cope with the sudden change in their relationship? Find out next time... god I feel like a TV promo.

Also, am I allowed to make a plea for more people to write Benlos stuff? Like I said a while back, there doesn't seem to be a lot out there, and what is out there, I've read. It's either that, or I become very narcissistic and start to read my own stuff.

Anyway, thank you to White Collar Black Wolf for leaving a review, and I hope you enjoyed this chapter! So until Monday for Water Under the Bridge,

TTFN :D
