For the next couple of days we were careful not to do anything that would raise suspicion and Warren kept his word and didn't say anything about what he saw. When Friday came around I was excited at the prospect of being with Ben without prying eyes. I couldn't find anything that I liked that my dad would let me leave the house in. I finally decided on my favorite pair of jeans and a halter top that didn't show to much skin. I curled my hair and put it up in a pony tail. When I walked down the stairs Ben and my dad were waiting for me.
"You look beautiful honey."
"Thanks dad."
"Hey Sam I was wondering if I could take her out to dinner after the concert?"
"Yeah that's fine with me just have her home no later than 1."
"I will. You ready Phee."
"Yeah I'm ready. I'll see you later dad."
"Have fun."
When we got to the truck he opened the door for me and closed it when I was in. When he got in and started the truck, he looked at me.
"What? Is something wrong?"
"Nothing is wrong. I just can't believe that I get you all to myself for the whole night. Did I tell you that you look amazing?"
"Well thank you. You don't look too bad yourself? Now can we get out of this driveway?"
"Yeah let's go."
When we got to the stop sign at the end of the road he leaned over and kissed me. I was so happy I couldn't stop smiling. When we got to the concert he put his arm around me as we walked in. I was loving every minute of it and when the concert started he stood behind me with his arms around my waist. He put his head on my shoulder and sang every song into my ear. When we got back in the truck, I looked at him and smiled.
"You know you have a great voice."
"Well thank you. I usually don't sing in front of anyone. I'm kind of shy."
"You shy. I don't think so."
"Well not usually but I've heard so many people sing that can't that I was afraid I was one of them."
"Well trust me you are not one of them. Where are we going to eat?"
'"Well I was thinking about that new Italian place."
"That sounds great. I love Italian."
We got to the restaurant and ordered our food. I had the ravioli and he had lasagna. While we were waiting for our food he put his arm around me and kissed me. I smiled and grabbed his hand. The waitress smiled as she brought the food to us. When we got back to Adam's, he shut the car off and I gave him a kiss.
"I had a really good time tonight."
"I'm glad. I hope we can do it again sometime."
"Me too. I better get in there looks like dad is waiting. I hope he didn't see."
"Yeah that might be bad."
I got out of the car and waved as I opened the door. My dad and Adam were waiting for me with their arms crossed. I shut the door and smiled.
"Did you have fun?"
"Yeah it was great."
"Looked like it."
"What do you mean looked like it? Were you spying on me?"
"No I wasn't. Adam got a picture sent to him from one of his employees."
"What so Adam had someone spying on me?"
"No I did not have someone spying on you. I didn't even know he was going to the concert. He sent me a picture because he knew that you were Sam's daughter and he has seen Ben at Mercy's garage."
"What's the big deal? So he had his arms around me."
"It wasn't a big deal until the I got a call from the waitress at the restaurant. She happens to be the wife of one of the wolves and she was concerned about what she saw going on between the two of you. Not to mention what we just saw with our own eyes."
"Are you mad?"
"Well I'm not happy that's for sure. Of all the guys in the world, you had to fall for Ben? He will hurt you. He might not mean to but he will it is just the way he is. Do you even know if he likes you the way you like him?"
"I don't know. You would have to ask him. And you don't know that for sure. That's just what you think will happen. What happens now?"
"Well you are grounded for a month for going behind my back.."
"Are you going to let us be together?"
"We haven't decided yet. We will have a talk with Ben first."
Just then Ben walked through the door.
"Ben kitchen now."
"Phee you go upstairs."
I smiled at Ben and mouthed sorry then walked up the stairs. I knew that they wouldn't start talking til they thought I was in Jesse's room so I opened the door and closed it then tiptoed to the top of the stairs to listen in.
"Ben sit down. We need to talk."
"Yes sir."
"I got a very interesting picture message on my phone tonight and a very interesting phone call. Would you like to guess what they were about?"
"I'm guessing me and Phee."
"Yes and would you like to explain yourself?"
"First off I would like to say I'm sorry for not coming to you first, but I'm not sorry for what happened tonight. I wouldn't change that for the world. I like Phee a lot and I have for a while now. She smart, funny, and beautiful."
"That doesn't change the fact that she is seventeen years old Ben. She is my daughter and I'm not going to let anyone hurt her."
"I would never hurt her Sam and I wouldn't let anyone else either. I would never do anything that she didn't want to or that I didn't feel she was ready to do."
"Ben do you love my daughter because it sounds to me like you do."
"Yes I do Sam. I don't know when it happened but it did."
"You stay right there we will be right back."
"What do you think Adam? You know him better than I do."
"We both know he's telling the truth. They both are we would smell it if they weren't."
"Yes but that's not the question. The question is do we let them be together or make them wait til she's 18?"
"I don't see the harm in letting them be together now. I am his Alpha. I will just give him an order no sex until she is 18."
"That sounds good to me."
I heard someone stand up when they walked back in the kitchen.
"Ben we decided that it would do no good to make you wait so you can be together as long as there is no sex til she is 18. Is that understood?"
"Yes sir."
I came running down the stairs and hugged my dad then I hugged Ben.
"Thanks Dad. I love you."
"I love you too. Now don't make me regret this."
"You won't."
"I assume you heard the conversation so I don't have to repeat myself."
" Yes Dad I heard no sex til I'm 18."
"Your still grounded."
"OK"
"I'm going to go home and get ready for work."
"OK see you in the morning."
"I am going to go to bed."
"OK good night Adam."
Ben and I walked into the living room and sat on the couch.
"I thought I was dead meat when I walked in and saw Adam and my dad."
"Yeah I thought your dad was going to rip me apart."
"I can't believe they are letting us be together. I thought for sure my dad wouldn't let it happen."
"Like I said it must be nice to be daddy's little girl."
"Well you know it does have it's advantages."
"We have to make this official you know. So here goes. Phee would you be my girlfriend?"
"Well I don't know."
"What?"
"I'm kidding. Of course I will."
"That's more like it. Now get over here."
"You don't have to tell me twice."
I scooted closer to him and he leaned over and kissed me. I straddled him as he deepened the kiss. He stopped kissing me and started kissing down my jaw to my neck and back up as I nibbled on his ear. He grabbed the sides of my face and kissed me again. I felt him stir under me so I broke the kiss and moved so I was sitting on his lap.
"What did you do that for?"
"Because you were getting a little excited."
"So I can handle it."
"Yeah you can I can't."
"I see."
"You want to watch a movie with me?"
"Yeah here lay down."
"Only if you lay down with me."
We laid down on the couch and he wrapped his arms around me. I hit play on the DVD player and was asleep within the first fifteen minutes. I woke up to Ben singing Good Morning Beautiful in my ear.
"Good morning."
"Good morning. How did you sleep."
"I slept like a rock."
"Did you know you talk in your sleep?"
"No I don't."
"Yes you do."
"What did I say?"
"It doesn't matter it wasn't anything bad so don't worry about it."
"That's easy for you to say. Ben you aren't the one that talks in your sleep."
"I'm going to go take a shower and brush my teeth."
"OK I'll be here."
I went in the bathroom and took a shower. When I got out and shut the water off I heard a knock on the door.
"Yeah"
"Hey it's me let me in."
"Hey Jesse. What's up?"
"Did you have fun last night?"
"Yeah. I thought my dad and yours were going to kill me when I got home though."
"Why what happened?"
"Well one of your dad's employees sent him a picture message of me and Ben with Ben's arms wrapped around me and then the waitress at the restaurant just happens to be the wife of a wolf and called your dad because she was concerned about me and Ben's behavior."
"What did they say? Were they mad?"
"Of course they were mad. I got grounded for a month but on the bright side me and Ben are together now."
"NO FREAKING WAY!"
"YES WAY!"
"How did you pull that one off?"
"I have no idea but I'm not complaining. The only restriction is no sex til I'm eighteen."
"I can't believe that your dad is letting you date Ben."
"I know right. I did hear one thing that I don't think Ben realizes I heard."
"Really what's that?"
"He told my dad that he loves me."
"No way Ben said that?"
"Yeah and apparently I talk in my sleep."
"Yeah you do."
"Well thanks for telling me. I said something in my sleep last night and Ben won't tell me what I said. All he said is not to worry about it because it wasn't anything bad."
"Well that would make me worry."
"I am worried."
"You want me to try and get it out of him?"
"That would be awesome."
"OK I will talk to him."
"OK I'll sit at the top of the stairs and listen."
"OK"
Jesse bounced down the stairs calling Ben's name.
"What's up Jesse?"
"Nothing I just wanted to talk to you?"
"About?"
"Phee."
"What about her?"
"Nothing I just wanted to know how things went last night."
"They went great. I think. Why did she say something to you?"
"Oh Ben are you insecure? That's cute."
"No I'm not insecure. I was just wondering if she said anything to you."
"Nothing she just told me that she had a great time and she also told me what happened when she got home. You know with the parentals. Did you know she talks about you in her sleep?"
"Yes."
"Really how do you know she talks about you?"
"Because she did it last night."
"Really what did she say?"
"She said she loves me."
"Did she really?"
"Yes."
"Well how do you know she was talking about you?"
"Because she said 'I love you Ben'."
"Cool but I already knew that. She says that all the time."
"Really?"
"You really like her don't you?"
"Yes I do."
"Do you love her?"
"Why do you need to know?"
"Because I'm her best friend and I'm on her need to know tree. Plus I want to make sure you aren't going to hurt her."
"Yes I do love her but don't tell her I want to be the one to do it. Don't worry Jesse you don't have to worry about me hurting her and if anyone else does they will have me to deal with."
"Well good. That's all I wanted to know. I will leave you alone now."
I knew that was my que to come downstairs. I came down the stairs and right to Ben.
"You feel better beautiful?"
"Much better. Now what are we doing today seeing as I can't leave the house."
"Well we could order pizza and watch movies."
"Sounds good to me. I still haven't watched the movie I got for my birthday."
"I'll order the pizza."
"We will go in the living room and set up the movie."
Ben and I went in the living room. When we got in the living room Ben sat down on the couch and pulled me down with him. I smiled and kissed him.
