Love has been Reached

No More Lies

Ben continuously looked at the picture and sat on the bed.
"Hey did you find the money." Miranda asked looking up from the boxes.
"You're married aren't you." Ben asked still looking at the picture.
"Of course not why would you think that."
"Because of this picture." Ben said as he showed Miranda.
"Oh that picture." Miranda said with a tear streaming down her eye.
"Miranda you really thought I wouldn't find out eventually."
Miranda was speechless and couldn't find any words to say to Ben.
"Ben I promise I'm not married."
"Well then who are these people, cause that kid looks just like you." Ben said pointing at Miranda.
"Just let me explain." Miranda said while reaching for Ben but he pulled back.
"No I don't think you do Miranda, you need to leave and I may or may not call you."
"Ben don't do this and where am I supposed to go."
"I'm sorry Miranda but leave now and figure it." Ben said opening the bedroom door.
"Fine but please call me I want to sort this out and if we don't I need to get my stuff out of your house." Miranda said walking out of the bedroom.
Ben slammed the bedroom door and sat on the door when he shortly heard a knock on the door.
"Miranda if it's you, go the hell away." Ben said as he put his head in hands.
"Dad it's me." Aria said as she slowly opened the door.
"Oh hey Aria when did you get home."
"Just now and why was Miranda crying so much when she left."
"Oh thats nothing, don't worry about it."
"Dad I know somethings wrong and I hope you didn't drive her away because she was a good one." Aria said putting her hand on Ben's shoulder.
"You're right but she's married and she never told me."
"How do you know that."
"I found a picture of her husband, her, and her kid in her pocket book." Ben said taking a deep breath.
"Dad, did you ever consider that they could have passed away like mom did."
"No but if it was that she would have told me because I told her about your mom."
"But was she ready to talk about it though." Aria said acting like an elder giving marriage advice.
"I guess I never thought of that."
"Well you need to go talk to her right now before she gets out of the driveway."
"Yeah you're right, be back shortly." Ben said as he ran downstairs and pit the front door.
"Miranda wait." Ben yelled as he ran down his driveway.
"I thought you were or weren't going to call me." Miranda asked wiping away tears.
"Miranda wait, I never considered that something may have happened to them and that you weren't ready to talk about it."
"Thanks Ben but it's a little to late now." Miranda said still not turning to face Ben.
"Miranda I'm so sorry and you don't have to tell me anything but I love you and will always love you and I won't ever forgive myself if I let you go." Ben confessed.
"Really that's so sweet." Miranda said sarcastically.
"Miranda come on be serious I am sorry and I will always love you."
"Ben I know that but I don't know if I can be with someone who can't trust me and tells me to leave when things get rough."
"Miranda please forgive me, I promise I'll do anything."
"Ok for starters you'll be sleeping on the couch tonight and also we raise the bet to a hundred dollars because you definitely aren't getting laid tonight."
"Ok and again I'm so so sorry but do you think you can trust me now."
"Maybe but please don't tell me to leave out of our house." Miranda asked as she gave Ben a hug.
"Never again will that happen and I love you." Ben said accepting her hug.
"I love you to."
