Hey guys! So I kind of lost the Descendants excitement that pushed me to write this fanfic, but now that D2 is coming I think I'm getting that feeling back! Hopefully I'all continue this story, but I'm not making any promises.
thanks for reading! Make sure to leave a review letting me know what you think and what ou think should happen.
The night after the premier I couldn't sleep at all. That kiss. I didn't want to kiss him, but at the same time I did. I tried shutting off my head by telling myself that it was just the initial shock of the kiss that had only happened a few hours ago and that tomorrow everything would be fine. The thing is that the day after it was still the same. Every time I looked at Ben I could feel a faint brush against my lips like a ghost and an arm pressed tightly around my waist.
"Earth to Mal" Evie waved her hand in front of my face trying to get my attention. "What's going on in that head of yours? You keep dozing off"
"It's nothing" I shake my head and take a sip from my lemonade. Since I've been working for Lonnie, I try to have lunch with Evie somewhere nice. "Just Ben stuff"
"You mean the kiss" her eyes shine with excitement and her mouth grows into a smirk.
"No" I lie unconvincingly and the realize how fake it sounded, "Maybe"
"You like him" her smirk grows into a full smile I know she's about to burst in excitement, "I know you do"
"I do not" I say appalled, "how could I? He's a douche and a drunk".
"He can't be that bad M" she shakes her head.
"You have no idea E" I take in a deep breath. "Whenever I'm there he has to be there as well which means he can't party, so he gets pissed off and drunk". But then there was that kiss. He seemed so sweet in the way he held her in that moment. It's like two completely different people.
"I thought you said he couldn't party with or without you"
"He can't. That's why he gets so upset" I look down at my salad and shake my head softly.
"At least you get to go to all these parties and premiers" she's always trying to be positive.
"I guess." a sudden thought jumps into my mind, "speaking of which, there's this party this Friday, and you are coming with me"
From there on Evie completely forgets about Ben and I and focuses on what she's going to wear to the party. Always distract Evie with clothes.
"Hey" I walk into Ben's house, straight into the kitchen and pull a bottle of water out. Being at Ben's feels more and more normal each day. Tonight, we have a big party for a movie premier. I got Ben to put Evie on the list and luckily she is coming.
"Hey" Ben says from the other side of the kitchen. He's standing on the stove clearly burning something in a pan.
"What the hell are you doing?" I quickly make my way next to him and take the pan away from the hot stove.
"Well" he runs a hand through his hair which is still tousled from bed, "I was trying to make lunch".
"You're going to burn down the house is what you're going to do" I pull up the paper bag I have in my hand, "Here. A Cheeseburger with truffle fries".
I sit down next to him and give him some company while he eats. I knew his staff was off today, which probably meant he wasn't going to eat.
"Thanks for the burger" he throws out the trash and places his glass in the sink.
"You're welcome" I grab my purse and head up to my room. Since I have started to spend a lot of time here lately, I made sure to have clothes, and all the essential toiletries here so I don't have to keep bringing a bag over. I threw my purse on the bed and grab my phone before going back downstairs.
I walk into the TV room and find Ben playing some video game. I plop down in the other end of the long comfortable couch and watch as he shoots and runs in the game.
"You want to play?" He asks without looking away from the TV.
"Me?" I laugh, "I'm terrible at video games"
"I'll teach you" he pauses the game and scoots over to me.
"I'd like to see you try" I smirk knowing exactly where this is going.
"You can't be that bad" that's where he's wrong. After half an hour of me running around aimlessly and shooting the wrong characters, O hand the controller back to Ben. "Okay" he laughs to himself, "you have to be the worst player ever"
"Shut up" I slap his shoulder, "I told you I was awful". He turn to face me and our faces are barely inches apart. I could just pull him down and his lips would be on mine like the other night. I should not be wanting to pull him down as much as I want to. Luckily, his phone rings. He lingers over me for a couple of seconds before turning away to answer his phone. I don't know what I would have done if his phone didn't ring.
"Hey" I change the topic when he hangs up, "I've been meaning to ask you. Who was that guy you were talking to at the premier? You know, the one with the glasses".
"That's Doug" he explains, "he's been a good friend for years. He works in casting, so I was asking him about the part".
"Are you getting it?" I nudge him with my elbow.
"They're still debating" he shrugs, "but he says they are deeply considering me".
"Well that's good" I grin and he goes back to his game.
A few hours later, the whole crew arrives to get us ready for the party. My hair is braided tightly into a high ponytail, my face is all made up in dark colors, my feet are in heels I'm not even sure I can walk in, and I am wearing a sleek long sleeve black dress covered in shinny gold details. When I am done, I walk out and run into Ben in the foyer. He's in a dark grey suite and a white shirt without a tie. His hair is still tousled, but this time it's meant to look that way. He looks very handsome.
"You look beautiful as always" we start walking down to the car.
"Thank you" I smile and we're off to the party.
As soon as our feet hit the floor, Ben has his arm around me like always. We pose on the short carpet outside of the party and try to make it as intimate As possible. He presses his lips to the side of my head. I look up at him smiling. We are almost pros at this now. He tries kissing me a few times, but I avoid it trying to not seem too obvious.
Once inside, We quickly find Evie who is already mingling with some very good looking guys by the bar.
"Do you want anything?" Ben asks referring to a drink.
"Just lime and soda" I grin appreciative.
"You know" he leans down slightly so I can hear him, "you can have a drink if you want to".
"I'm fine with soda" I insist and he goes up to the bar. He hasn't had a drink in a couple of weeks, and I haven't been drinking either. He knows I'm doing it for him, but I just don't want to torture him since he can't drink.
"Are you having fun?" I turn back to Evie.
"This is amazing!" She smiles, " I can't believe this is actually happening. This is your life now".
"I know" I blush, "it's crazy".
"Here you go" Ben comes back and hands me my drink. "It's just coke" he explains when I notice the drink in his hand.
"It's okay" I reassure him, "I trust you".
"Ben!" A voice colas out from behind me.
"Doug!" Ben greets patting his shoulder, "this is Mal, and her friend Evie".
"Pleasure to meet you" Doug nods staring at Evie.
"Likewise" Evie smirks.
"May I offer you a refill" Doug sees Evie's almost empty glass.
"Yeah" she walks past me joining Doug.
"We'll talk later" Doug tells Ben before he walks away with Evie.
I lean against the wall taking a sip of my drink when Ben locks his hand on mine. "You want to dance?" He suggest and I just nod placing my drink on the nearest table.
We dance for quite some time, and before I know it his face finds its way back to mine. I can't keep doing this. I'm about to pull away, but his eyes are locked on mine, and I can feel his cool breath on my face. His hand is wrapped around my lower back pulling me tightly against him. This should not be happening. This, us, is nothing more than business. There is no way we would ever work. I finally come to my senses and pull away from him claiming that I need to go to the ladies room.
I stay in the bathroom for a few minutes trying to clear my head. I can't kiss him again. If I do, I'm not going to be able to control myself. When I finally head back to the party, Ben is talking to Doug and Evie is ordering something from the bar.
"Are you okay?" She asks.
"Yeah I'm fine" I half lie remembering she has been off with Doug most of the night, "so... you and Doug?"
"He's nice" she shrugs, but I know there's more to the story.
"You ready to go?" Ben and Doug join us.
"Yeah" I'm pretty tired and it's getting late.
"You need a ride Evie" he offers but Doug steps in.
"I've got it" he assures us and we head out hand in hand as the paparazzi pummel us with questions.
I usually take of my heels in the ride back since my feet are killing me, but this time I leave them on. When we're finally at back at his house, I make my way up the stare and he follows behind. I start walking down the hall when my feet wobble and I lose my balance. Ben catches me before I can hit the ground and we are left staring at each other dead in the eyes.
"Careful there" he smirks and I gasp slightly unable to speak.
He doesn't waste any time before leaning down and slamming his lips against mine. This time they are soft, but urgent. I think about pulling away for a second, but I am immediately lost in the urge. He pulls me up to my feet and presses me against the wall. I pull his jacket down as his lips find their way down my next and across my collarbone. His hand go from their usual place on my lower back down to my butt, and I don't complain. Once his shirt is fully unbuttoned, he unzips my dress in one swift move before bringing his lips back to mine. I run my hand through his hair, and press myself harder against his toned body.
I let the dress fall to the ground and kick my heels off, leaving me in just my underwear, and he does the same with his pants. He licks me up as if I weighed nothing at all, my lips never leaving his, and takes me into his room where I lose myself to him.
