Chapter 5: Down, but not out
"Ben, wake up!" Gwen pleaded as she is shaking Ben on the bed.
"Ben?"
No response from Ben.
"Wake up!" Gwen yells in frustration and slaps Ben in the face.
Gwen's hand was red in the palm from the impact of the slap.
Gwen hears Ben groaning.
"Ben?"
Ben wakes up and feels two pains: his left arm and the pain from Gwen's slap.
"Did you just slap me?" he asks
"Yeah." She answers "I thought that you were-"
"I know." He says while cutting her off.
Gwen throws herself on Ben in a hug that surprises Ben just now (He was knocked out for two hours.)
Ben hugs Gwen and asks her "Are you all right?"
"I'm fine." Gwen hugs tighter on her grip on Ben.
"Gwen…. My arm…. You're squeezing it too hard." He says between his pains.
"Sorry." She apologizes as she let's go of Ben.
"No harm done how's my left since I collapsed two hours ago?"
"Well, Grandpa put some medicine on it a while ago." Gwen answers "He wrapped it and he wanted me to tell you not to do anything difficult for a while."
"Meaning?"
"Don't go hero for a while till your arm heals."
"Thanks, where is Grandpa anyway?" Ben asks
"Well, he told that he's gone fishing for the day." Gwen answers
"So, we have-"
"The whole day together." Gwen says cutting Ben while she has a devious smile on her face.
"Gwen, are you mad about something?" he says with uneasiness in his voice
"No, I'm just happy that you're okay." She replies as she leans closer to Ben.
Gwen then kisses Ben on the lips.
Ben is shocked by Gwen's actions; however he had to see it coming which he didn't anyway so he returns the kiss by putting his tongue in Gwen's mouth
Gwen does vice versa on Ben, "nice." Ben compliments Gwen kissing.
"Less talking." Gwen orders Ben as she does takes off Ben's shirt which she probably shouldn't have done.
Gwen's face turns completely red when she looks at Ben's bare chest. 'There is something about a boy's chest that is different; it's so masculine that it is hot about it.' Gwen thought
Ben reunites the kiss and they continued for about 10 minutes until Ben grabs a place he shouldn't.
"Ben, slow down." Gwen says
"What do you mean?" Ben replies
"Check your right hand."
Ben check his right hand and sees it was on Gwen's left butt cheek. (Might get rated T for this.)
"Sorry." He says while his face goes completely red.
"That's okay." She says in a calming voice "Don't rush ok?"
"Ok, take it nice and slow."
"Do you want to go for a swim?"
"Okay, I don't see why not."
As Ben changes into a pair of crimson red swim trunks, Gwen changes to an emerald green diamond swimsuit and walked down the hall hand-in-hand till they see…
"Grandpa!" Gwen alarms Ben.
"What should we do?" Ben asks "We can't let him see us like this."
"I thought he was gone for the day." Gwen whispers to Ben.
"He must have returned early from fishing." Ben replies "What should we do?"
"Simple." Gwen answers "Let go of my hand."
"Okay, for now."
Grandpa Max walks up to the kids and says "Hey kids, where are you two going?"
"Swimming." Gwen answers
"When I first seen you guys down the hall, were you guys holding hands?" Grandpa asks
Both Ben and Gwen exchange shocked to their Grandpa and themselves.
"No we weren't." Gwen answers "Anyway, that's disgusting holding hands with him and that will be the day I die."
"Ben?" Grandpa asks
"No way." Ben answers "Come on that was uncalled for, I mean seriously?"
"If you say so." (Max is being sarcastic to Ben and Gwen.)
"Bye, Grandpa!" they both say running to the pool.
"Bye." Max answers 'I don't know what's going on here' Max thought 'But I'll find out.'
End of Chapter 5
Trying to save the action for later, for now Read and Review!
What did Max mean by "I'll find out."
"Do you think the relationship is safe?"
I'll be working on chapter 6 for now.
