The Little Scout

Chapter Nine

Ben's POV

"Hey, Ben, can I tell you something?" Jimmy asked him.
"What?" Ben replied.
"You know how I told you I liked Tessa?"
"Yeah."
"I don't like her anymore, well I do but...I like someone else."
"Who?"
"There's a guy..." Ben's eyes opened wide.
"But...your...a...guy..."
"I know, Ben, his name's Logan."
"Logan who helps with the kids?" Jimmy nodded.
"I like him, a lot...more than I've liked anyone."
"Why do you like him?"
"He's nice, and...Cute, and I like him...is that weird?"
"No, loads of people are gay. Jimmy, it's nothing new."
"It feels new to me...it feels...weird, my Dad would be so disappointed now."
"Why would he be disappointed?"
"He wanted me to the perfect son, you know with the grandkids and that...I was his only son."
"Oh, see I didn't have that with my Dad. Hal was the one who'd have the grandkids; I could do whatever...as long as it was legal." Jimmy nodded.
"Do you think he likes me...back?"
"Probably, I don't know."
"Do you think I should ask him out?"
"Not so fast, Jimmy, you might still have a shot with a girl. Don't throw that away."
"But Ben, I really...really...really like Logan."
"Do what you want, Jimmy, it's your life you ask him out if you want."
"Is this weird to you?"
"A little, have you ever...liked...me?"
"Ben, I do have standards, don't flatter yourself."
"I'm not...I was just wondering."
"Well don't, I don't like you, or have ever liked you."
"I know a girl that likes you, she's nice."
"Who is she?"
"You know Soph?"
"Yeah."
"She likes you."
"Get out of here! She doesn't talk much does she?"
"No but she likes Tessa and Tessa told Me."
"Why does she like Tessa?"
"Hey! There's plenty things to like Tessa for!"
"Name three."
"You like Tessa."
"And? Name three!"
"She's pretty, smart, and awesome."
"Awesome doesn't count!"
"Fine, she's a really good fighter."
"That counts." Jimmy smiles.
"Why do you like Logan?" Jimmy shrugs.
"I don't know."
"Would you go out with Sophie?"
"I don't know, maybes."
"You should, you're perfect for each other."
"Tessa tell you that?" Ben nodded. "I like Logan."
"I was just saying."
"Well don't, I'm sure she's nice but I like Logan. Don't tell anyone, please?"
"Sure, I won't. Not even Tessa?"
"Not Tessa, especially!" Jimmy shouted.
"Fine, fine, I won't tell anyone at all." Jimmy nodded.
"Thanks."
