As they arrived, they checked into their hotel and Cara texted Ben in the morning.
-where are you?- she asked, although she knew where he was as she could locate him with his phone.
Cara and Nathan went to the café where he was but stayed outside.
-in Glasgow, why?-
- no I know but where exactly? Nathan's there for work and asked if he could visit you-
-right now?-
-yes-
-Nicholas café-
-great. He should be there in a few minutes.-
Then Cara and Nathan walked inside, but they made sure Ben couldn't see who she was. They fake talked and then kissed before Cara left the café as Nathan walked towards Ben, on call with Cara so she could hear everything.
"Hey man what's up?"
"Why is Cara not here?"
"Cause she's in New York?" Nathan replied
"Then who were you with?" Ben asked
"None, what's up with you?"
"Oh come on I know Cara was with you a minute ago" he said, calling Cara.
'Yes Ben? Did he find you yet?' Cara replied, walking away from the café.
'Oh come on I know you're here too I saw you with him'
'Um, that would be difficult since I'm on the other side of the ocean'
'No you're not'
'Yes I am. I wish I were there with you guys but hey, some of us gotta work'
'So you're telling me you weren't with Nathan 2 minutes ago?'
'I wish I was'
'Okay can I call you back?'
'Sure'
"Hey man, I'll be right back" Nathan said before running outside.
He joined Cara again and laughed about their plan then he went back inside.
"Are you seriously cheating on my sister?" Ben asked, angry
"Hey man, calm down, you know I wouldn't "
"Then who were you with a few minutes ago? And then outside?"
"Someone I'm doing business with, why?"
"Oh come on I saw you kiss her"
"What are you talking about?"
Cara put her hoodie on and walked inside as Ben grabbed Nathan by the collar and said "Don't you mess with me I'm gonna kill you"
"You're not doing anything" Cara said, taking her hoodie off.
He let go of Nathan and looked at her.
"What the… are you kidding me?" He asked, relieved "why would you do this to me" he added, pushing both of them "I was gonna hit you for real" he told Nathan
"Oh come on you really thought you could beat him" Cara asked "good to see you man"
"Good to see you too. But not like that! What are you guys doing here?"
"Visiting" Cara said
"Tomorrow it'll be one year since we're together" Nathan said
"Cool. So you thought visiting your brother is a good way to spend a romantic weekend?" Ben asked Cara
"Oh come on I wouldn't miss a chance to see my baby brother" Cara replied "so, are you free to be our guide?"
"Not now. But I should finish by the afternoon. I could give you some tips while waiting"
They agreed and he told them what to visit.
Around 2 p.m, they met again and they kept visiting around with Ben.
"Hey you know what you should visit? Oh my God I can't afford it but you could! James' castle! Oh and you could probably afford a night there, I've been told it's a great stay!"
Cara and Nathan looked at each other and nodded, agreeing.
So they hailed a cab and went in but Ben didn't follow.
"What are you waiting for?" Nathan asked him
"You to leave?"
"Oh you're coming with us" he told him
"Really?" He asked, overjoyed
"Oh my God thank you thank you"
They visited the castle and Nathan booked two rooms.
"Man it is good to know a rich guy" Cara said, seeing the price "I would've never booked a room" she added
"Are you paying for my ride home?" Ben asked around 6 p.m
The couple looked at him and laughed.
"What?"
"You're not going home man" Nathan told him, "you're in room 12" he added, handing him the keys.
"For real?" He asked, sparks in his eyes
They both smiled and they enjoyed an evening VIP visit as well as a dinner together before going to their rooms.
Cara and Nathan destroyed the bed immediately.
"I can literally say I did it in a castle" Cara said, smiling as they finished
Nathan didn't say anything
"That's not a first for you, is it?"
"Nah" he replied
In the morning, when Cara woke up, she was getting ready to get out for breakfast but Nathan walked in with a tray.
"Ohhh" she said "happy 1 year" she kissed him
"Happy 1 year love"
Then they left, with Ben, to keep visiting. On the way back to the Café they went first, Cara was between Ben and Nathan, her arms around their waists, a man stopped near them and said "you are disgusting" so they stopped and asked why
"Can't you just cheat like normal people? Sharing a person with someone else that's just disgusting"
The three laughed then Cara told him "well, people can do whatever they want. Nobody's forcing you to do anything. And also, that's my boyfriend" she showed Nathan "and that's my brother."
"Oh, sorry" he said
"You should be. Who other people are dating and how is none of your business"
And then they left to finally get into the Café, order and sit.
"Nice speech" Nathan told her
"I don't get people talking about other people. Mind your own s**t"
"And I love you for that" Nathan said, kissing her
"I love you too"
"Wait, you guys say I love you" Ben asked
"Duh" they both replied
"Wow you must really be good" He told Nathan "you know the last time she told someone she loved them, not as a friend or family member, she didn't get it back and she never said it since"
Cara was about to say she did, but she didn't.
"That was like five years ago" Ben added
Nathan smiled. That is good news for him.
"Well I hope I'm the last person she says it to that way"
Cara pushed him.
"That is so cheesy" she said
"Hey, hum, Cara, can I tell you something?" He said, becoming serious all of a sudden
"Yes, what's going on?"
"I don't know how you'll react but… I'm bisexual"
Cara spit her tea.
"Oh come on you scared me for that?"
"You're not mad?"
"Why would I be mad?" She asked, looking at Nathan who shook his shoulders
"Well… I always said I was straight, and honestly if it weren't for the way you reacted when the weirdo thought we were together, I wouldn't have told you…"
"Ben. Seriously? How did you think I'd react? I thought you were gonna say you had cancer or something"
He got up to hug her and sat back.
"Thank you"
"You're welcome?" She replied "did you tell mom?"
He shook his head
She dialed her mom .
"What no…" he said but Caroline picked up.
"Hey honey, how are you? Happy anniversary"
Cara smiled "thanks mom. We're in Glasgow. With Ben"
"Oh really, Hi Nathan" she waved as she saw him "hey Sweetheart how are you?" She asked as she saw Ben
"Hey mom. Cara wants me to tell you something but I don't know how you'll react"
Cara rested her head on Nathan's shoulder as she watched her brother try to say it. She didn't get why he was that way.
"Oh that's it? You scared me" Caroline said, making Nathan and Cara smile
"You're not mad?" Ben asked
"Why would I be mad?"
"Well you asked me if I was gay and I swore to you I wasn't"
"Well, first of all, just because you didn't know something back then doesn't mean you lied. And second, you're not gay are you?"
He shook his head
"So you didn't lie"
He nodded
"And don't ever feel like you can't tell me something about you" she said as Cara sat next to Ben.
"You too" she told Cara
"Thanks mama" Cara said "now let me get mad at Ben for thinking I would get mad" she told her, making her smile.
"I can't believe you thought I or mama would get mad at you for being bisexual. What is wrong with you?"
"I don't know I was scared"
"Get scared when you kill someone innocent"
"What about not someone innocent?"
"Well then they deserve it"
Then they went back to the US, in business class this time.
"Oh wow. Since you can afford it, we're never flying economy again okay?"
He smiled as she lay on her super stretchy seat.
As she got back to work, everything went as usual, although she did spend most of her weekends at the Carloyl's, or at least with the Carloyls, and her wardrobe got more expensive.
