Physiotherapist

8. Hanging Out

"are we hanging out tonight?" Ben asked laying on bed in my physiotherapist room

"and you're here why?" I asked turning to him

"I need knee massage so can you?" he asked

"I am physiotherapist not masseuse" I said looking at him and rasing my eyebrow

"you must to know give a massage too" he said

"why are you actually here?" I asked sitting on chair next to him

"that blue looks good on you" he said

"Ben" I warn him

"I came to ask you if we're hanging out tonight" he said looking at my eyes

"I'm not sure" I said

"why?" he asked sounding sad

"I maybe have already some plans" I said

"no you don't, Sophia told me you have only her and two friends from college, since they're on practice as you're too and Sophia is an hour away and not coming today I don't think you have plans" he said

"this is really bad of you" I said going back to my table

"Ela, I-I'm sorry" he said but I didn't looked at him "I didn't want to say it on that way, I just thought...." he didn't know what else to say but it was better for him to not talk anymore

"just ask me next time not to say something like that" I said

"I'm sorry" he mumbled and I turned to face him

"I don't have plans I was just kidding but I didn't expect you to react like that" I said

"sorry" he said once again

"we can hang out tonight but I'm not sure if I'm for going somewhere out" I said thinking on bars and that kinds of going out

"we can just chill at mine, we can order Chinese if you like it and I don't watch some movie or play PlayStation" he said and smiled

"English food will be enough and I actually don't know how to play PlayStation" I said and he sat up on bed as he was laying until now

"then we definitely have hard work to do tonight, teaching you how to play PlayStation would be definitely hard because you're so stubborn and hard" he said standing up

"see you at 7, if you need ride call me" he said and left room, how am I supposed to call him if I don't have his number? I can drive to him by myself but still

"hello" I said picking up the call from unknown number

"you have my number now" he said and I could hear him laughing and soon enough he hang up

He can be really stubborn but also so understanding and playful at the same time.

I smiled and finally get my ass ready for going home.

It past 5pm when I got home what means I had an hour and half until going to Ben.

....

I put on my grey tracksuit, blue t-shirt and blue cardigan on it and I put my Nike air force 1 on.

I took my phone and car keys locking apartment door behind me as I walked down stairs from 7th floor.

I wanted to buy something on the way to him but I didn't know what he actually likes.

At the end I bought apple chips because it's one of my favourite thing ever, if he will want to eat he can if not I don't care ;)

After a few minutes I came to his building but hell do I remember on what floor he lives? No, I don't.

I took my phone from pocket and called him.

"don't tell me you're not coming because I already-"

"hello to you too and I'm calling you to tell you that I am in front of your building but I don't remember on what floor you lives" I said bitting my lip

"look at left" he said and I looked at left side of building and I saw him on the window

"how I am supposed to know what floor that is?" I asked and rolled my eyes, I just need to count

"count, from ground to me" he said and I quickly counted walking to entrance of building

"thanks for no help" I said and hang up walking towards elevator

As I came to his floor I almost cursed not knowing what doors are his but since he was on the end of building then it's the most probably the last doors on left.

I lightly knock on doors and soon enough he opened it smiling at me.

"so you found me" he said letting me in

"with no help from you" I said walking past him into his apartment, here I am for the second time but first time gladly all my sense

"here, I put PlayStation on and joysticks are here" he said smiling pointing at joysticks on coffee table

"you're so stubborn Ben" I commented

"what's this?" he asked looking at chips bags

"chips, apple chips" I said

"apple chips?" he asked

"yep, that's my favourite" I said

"okay" he said not much happy with what I just said, so he don't like it

"we can have dinner first if you wants to, I ordered something english as you wanted" he said and went to kitchen

"no, no wait there" he said as I wanted to walk into kitchen

"we can eat here" he said and put packages of food on the coffee table

"I didn't know what would you like so I bought something most people I know like" he said and sat on floor right after me

"yep, I actually love that" I said and smiled and then we started to eat
