Becs' POV
The last few days have been pure bliss. School is well underway, the assholes have been keeping their distance from Matt thanks to Ben. I actually haven't seen Matt so happy and relaxed at school. I truly hope Matt and Ben become best friends for a lifetime. They are the 2 most important guys walking this earth. My best friend and my boyfriend. I am truly blessed with these 2 in my life.
"You got this baby boy." I said tiptoeing to reach Ben's kissable lips. Ben was about to walk on to the football practice to claim a spot on the varsity team with the support of his favorite red head. God he looked good in his under armor shorts and practice jersey. Even that cocky look on his face was sexy. "Of course I do, baby doll. I'll own this field soon enough." He smirked with arrogance. So sexy. "You have a good practice too, it's probably good you can't stay and watch me. You look damn good in those spandex shorts. Its distracting" He winked. I had my volleyball team meet to go running to help with endurance before doing a drill or two. I was actually keeping practice light today. Yes we have a volleyball coach but she relies on me for leadership since she's very pregnant. Coach Taylor has been amazing these last few years. She's truly a great role model for girls everywhere.
"Bad boy." I poke my finger into his hard chest. "Text me when you're done and maybe you can come over and watch a movie?" I asked. "I'd like that Becs, have a good practice." He said pulling me into a hug and kissing my forehead. I saw my team starting to show up by the flag pole. "See ya later!" I chimed as I turned and jogged towards my team. All of a sudden I hear a whistle.
"You're a fox!" Ben shouted for all to hear making me blush. I just shake my head at him as he chuckled. I hear my team giggling too. We were still waiting for a few more girls to show up. So we all chatted for a few minutes.
"Hey Rebecca, You going to Mike's party next week?" Tina asked. "Hell ya, I wouldn't miss it." I responded.
You 2 want to come over my house to get ready? We need some girl time." Lisa asked excitedly.
Yes, that's sounds fun." Tina replied. Sure, I'll let Ben know to meet me there." I beamed. "How is that going anyways? you 2 seem close already." Lisa asked. Tina was very interested too; nodding her head like a excited school girl. "We are great. We do seem to have a strong bond don't we? I'm enjoying spending time with him. He's so different from other guys." I said with a smile. Tina piped in; "Don't get wrong, your boy is hot, but damn he's intimidating. Even some teachers can barely handle him. You are are almost made for each other." She giggled. "You can be intense too Rebecca." She said as I gave her a look jokingly.
"I agree with you there. I'm not the easiest person to get to know." I replied. I like Tina and Lisa but in small doses. They are too material for me. Its all about makeup and getting boys. I'm more of a loner unless Ben is around. I could spend every waking minute with him. We finalized our plans for the party and got our practice under way. I've kept this one short because we've had intense practices all week and we all could use a rest. Football would run another hour or so; so I head plenty of time to go home and get cleaned up.
...
It was just mom and me thankfully. Tim is working late and Zach is actually at practice with Ben. Maybe Ben will tackle him or something. That kid is such a jerk and annoying as f**k sometimes.
"Hey mom, is it okay if Ben comes over to watch a movie? "I asked. "Of course honey, I'll make sure to prepare a nice dinner." She smiled. "Awesome, thanks mom." I said happily hugging her. My mom is truly a gentle spirit.
"I'm so happy to see you're eyes dancing again sweetie. Ben seems to bring you joy. I am thankful you 2 met." She said tearfully. "He reminds me of you're father when he was that age."
"I am happy mom. I know we only just met but we have a special bond. He's so special and unique. He even calls me Becs, mom. I've missed being called that.." I trailed off looking down and thinking about my daddy. Mom raised my chin up with her fingers to look at her smiling beautifully. "You're dad would have love him too. Though you are both young, I see you 2 having a bright future together. Knowing he's in your life gives me peace that you will always be safe and protected. I know it's probably too soon but I see the love you to share for each other. You're my beautiful baby girl. I only want you to have the best life." She said tearfully. I tugged her tight. "I love you mom. Forever." "I love you too my girl. Forever." We spend the next hour talking about catching up I loved spending alone time with my mom. It didn't happen often because Tim was always taking her different places, which is good I guess. There's just something about him I don't like; but he makes her happy. That's something, I guess.
I was reading when a text came through around 6pm.
HandsomeBoy: Hey gorgeous, going home to get cleaned up. Be there in 30 mins. I have a surprise for you. xoxo
Becs: Hi there babe. Come hungry, my mom is making a feast...she likes you. And you didn't need to get me anything. xoxo
HandsomeBoy: That's awesome, I'm starving. And yes I do. I'll buy whatever I want for you. I'll see you soon, Sweetheart.
Becs: Silly boy, can't wait.
I set my phone down and realized I haven't seen Maya yet this evening. "Hey mom, have you're seen Maya?" I shouted loud enough for her hear.
"Yes baby, I think she's on the back porch." Mom called out. Maya is my pretty little Siamese cat. My pride and joy. We found her at a rescue a year after dad died. She was just a kitten. Now she is five and is as rambunctious as ever. Mom and I needed a furry companion to cope with our loss. Maya had been perfect for us. Thankfully Tim and Zach don't bother with her; I just don't trust them. Don't get me wrong, I tried bonding for them. Zach never tried being siblings. He either straight up ignores me or annoys the s**t outta me. Never a middle ground with him. I tried so hard that first year we became a blended family. I knew my mom needed a man's support in her life. She would always love dad, but she needed some one physically here to take care of her. Oh, how I tried being a loving step daughter and step sister but to no avail. It's sad really, Tim was always kind to me before they married. But that all changed. So I just stopped trying and merely coexisted as peaceful as possible.
I stepped out on our back porch and found my sweet little Maya curled up on the porch swing. "There's my sweet girl. I missed you today Maya." I cooed at her. I sat down and she climbed right into my lap for cuddles. She's such a cuddle bug. Before I knew it I was lost in my thoughts. softly singing to Maya while resting my eyes.
Mrs. Wright POV
I stood there in the kitchen listening to my precious girl singing beautifully. Tears filling my eyes. Oh how I missed that sweet voice. Last time I heard my Rebecca sing with her daddy. That beautiful boy is bringing my old Rebecca back to me. As I was getting lost in her song, I heard a knock at the door. I tried composing myself before answering.
"Oh, hi Ben. Please come in. Rebecca is on the back porch." I said as my voice cracked.
"Hello Mrs. Wright. Are you okay? You look like you've been crying." Ben asked gently.
"Ben, you're a sweet boy. I'm fine. Its all happy tears. I haven't heard my girl sing since her daddy was alive."
"She does have a voice of a angel." Ben admitted. I looked at him surprised and said, "She sang before now?"
"She did on our date. She didn't realize she was doing it until I complimented her." He explained smiling. This boy truly has the perfect smile.
"Ben I need to thank you." I said as he looked at me confused. I let out a small laugh. "You are bringing my old Rebecca back. She hasn't been the same since her accident. The few years has been rough on her."
"She was in the accident too." he asked for clarity. "She hasn't told you?" I asked. "Only that her dad died from a car accident. She wasn't ready to tell me everything, so I didn't press it. Mrs. Wright, I truly care for your daughter. I want you to know that my intentions are only good. Becs is amazing. She is beautiful inside and out." He said with affection. Her name flows so lovingly off his lips.
"Thank you Ben for confirming my beliefs. Both are you are lovely together. I have no doubt that she confide in you when she is ready. She's always been a lively girl, I just wish I could take away her pain and brokenness." I said with a sad smile.
"I'm doing my best to help and support her as well ma'am." He said flashing that smile again. "I know you are , son. Now go to her. Dinner will be ready shortly." She added before leading him to the back porch where Becs was still singing.
Becs' POV
I suddenly felt a familiar hand cupping my cheek, gently caressing my skin. I opened my eyes to see Benny looking down at me smiling. "Hi" I said looking up at him with a smile. "Hi" He responded. "Mind if I sit?" I moved over with Maya still on my lap. Ben sat right against me wrapping his arm around my shoulder and kissing my head. He had set a box down beside him. "Whose this pretty little one?" He asked as he reached over and pets Maya on the head.
"This is my precious Maya. I hope you're not allergic.: I said nervously.
"Nope, not at all. I love animals." He said. "That's good because we're a package deal." I winked at him. He raised that damn sexy brow before chuckling and shaking his head. And yes his hair is still disheveled. God he just makes me melt every time I look at him.
"I'll trade you." He said handing me a present and picking up Maya and placing her on his lap. I smiled brightly at him. "This pretty wrapping. You did a great job."
"Well, my mom helped." He laughed. I opened the package to find a beautiful picture frame of us posing with our milkshake on our first date. It was completely perfect. "Awe, thank you Benny. I love this so much." I cooed placing my hand on his cheek and kissing him passionately. It only took a moment for him to kiss me back. I could just kiss his lips forever. We pulled away after a minute not wanting to get carried away. "You're very welcome beautiful. I have one too on my nightstand. You're the first and last gorgeous face I see every day." I admitted, leaning in for a short sweet kiss. "You're blushing, Becs." He whispered into my lips. " You just know all the right things to say, handsome. I am truly happy you're in my life." I said softly. "Only for your baby doll. My life is a lot brighter with you by my side." He said stealing one more sweet kiss. He hugged a little tighter. "You getting cold baby? Let's go in and start the movie." He added.
"Yes, sounds good. Mind bringing Maya in too? She likes you, already fast asleep on your lap." I smile sweetly at him. "Sure, no problem. Lead the way." He smiled back.
We walked into the kitchen where mom was still cooking. "Mom, look what Ben gave me." I exclaimed. "Oh, Rebecca, that's the sweetest picture. I just adore it. Both of you are so cute. I love it." Mom said happily.
"Come on, Benny. Let's go put this in my room. Bring Maya as well, so she's not in anyone's way." I said grabbing his hand and leading him to my room upstairs. My room was neat and simple. I wasn't into posters or crazy paint colors. I just had a lot of picture of my family before the accident and of Maya. I also have a book shelf full of books and my volleyball trophies. I also have my dad's trophies i display proudly with mine. Ben had placed Maya on the bed and started looking around at my pictures. I placed our picture on my nightstand as well. I liked the sounds of seeing him first and last every day.
"You look a lot like him." He pointed to one picture smiling brightly. "I was wondering where you got your red hair from."
I smiled back. "Yea, I take after him in most ways. I was his shadow, we did everything together." I said smiling at the memories. He pulled me into a warm embrace kissing me softly.
"BEN!" I shouted loudly making him jump. "I almost forgot! How was your practice?" I asked
"Damn Becs, you sure know how to give a guy a heart attack!" He laughed at my abrupt question.
"Sorry." I giggled. "I'm your new 1st string running back on varsity. I will start the first game of the season next week." He said smiling. "Yay! I'm so proud of you!" I cheered hugging him.
"I told you I'd own that field. Coaches were impressed. The running game on the team was weak, but I'll be changing all that. I will just need my cheer section to back me up." He smirked still holding me in his strong arms.
"Hmm, good luck with that." I teased causing that sexy raised brow. He sighed. "What will it take to get a pretty red headed girl with crazy curls to cheer for me?" He asked with a devilish grin. "I'm sure you could kiss her into it." I said innocently. With that he smirked and moved his hands from my back to my thighs, picking me up. I wrapped arms around his neck and my legs around his waist as he carried me over to my bed. Laying us both down with me at the bottom. He attacked my lips, kissing my roughly as I moaned. He tugged at my lower lip wanted access as he ran his fingers though my hair. I granted him access as I gently pulled his disheveled hair deepening the kiss. He let out a throaty growl as I felt his c**k twitch with excitement as he ground into me. I was so wet for him. I rolled my hips back in him, we were pretty much f*****g with clothes on. God it felt good. Moans escaping our lips in between kisses. Neither of us wanted to stop but it wasn't the time to go down this path. But hot damn, his body felt good on top of mine. His manly warmth and protection consumed my much smaller body.
"f**k baby doll, I have I kissed you into cheering for me yet?" He whispered into my lips. "Because I can't take much more of this." He said pressing his hard on into me again.
"Yes, Yes you did Mr. Running Back." I panted. We shared one soft kiss before he rolled off of me. His buddy clearly still there in his jeans. "I'm gonna need to use the bathroom." He said rubbing the back of his neck. I leaned up on the elbows smirking at him. "Right through there handsome." I said pointing to the door behind him. Why is this boy so sexy. "Damn, you have your own private bathroom?" He said surprised. "Sure do, I love it." I said laughing at him. He walked in to take care of himself as I used the guest bathroom to sort myself out. He brings up all these feelings I've never had before. I want him to be my first and only. One day.
We got done about the same time. He sat next to me on my bed. "So that happened." He smirked. "Sure did, maybe more will follow one day." I smirked back.
"God I hope so." He sighed causing me to giggle. "It will, Benny. When we are both ready." I promised.
"I want to keep you forever, Becs." He whispered. "I'd like that, Ben." I whispered back kissing his jaw. He kissed my forehead before standing up and pulling me onto my feet.
"I almost forgot, Lisa and Tina want girl time before the Mike's party next week. Mind if we meet there? " I asked. "Not at all, have fun with whatever girls do.." He chuckled.
He followed me back downstairs and into the living room. I turned on Netflix asking, "what do you want to watch?"
How about Back to the Future. Classic." He said with dorky smile. So adorable. "Sounds good to me." I smile back at him cuddling up against him. He wrapped his arm around my shoulder and kissed my head as I rested on his shoulder. I love his kisses.
Ten minutes into the movie, Zach came one. He never acknowledged us and just headed straight up stairs. "Well then." Ben said. "Ignore him Ben. He'll talk when he something annoying to say. He's always like that." I said flatly.
"Hey look at me gorgeous." He whispered. I looked up at him and was met with sweet gentle kiss before we turned back to the movie. He is the sweetest person.
Tim came in a few minute later. He was about to walk straight passed us but I stopped him. "Hey Tim, I'd like you to meet my boyfriend, Ben." I said. Tim stopped and turned on his heel. A forced smile on his face. Ben noticed right away and put an intense expression on his face. "Ben, this is my step dad Mr Wright." I said. Ben stood in front of Tim, putting his hand out to shake. "Good to meet you sir." He send emotionless. Tim shook his hand roughly to intimidate him. Ben wasn't having it. He stood his ground. "You too young man." Tim said gruffly before letting go of Ben's hand and walking away.
Ben took his spot next to me and pulled me into his side. I felt his embrace tighten around me. Like he was protecting me from something.
"Sorry about that Ben, he's an ass." I whispered sadly. "Don't be baby." He smiled at me. His expression a lot softer now.
"Dinner is ready!" Mom said loudly for all of to hear. We paused the movie and headed into the kitchen.
