Your Pov:

"Arghhhh! I should have packed that dress!" I whined. I went back and rummaged through the wardrobe that the hotel room had. After digging around for almost twenty minutes, I found a decent neutral- coloured blouse and a nice patterned skirt to pair it with. Then, I did my hair, applied a little mascara and a light shade of lipstick. "Hmm, I think this should work." I said to myself. I sighed as I sat on the little couch in my room and wore my heels. I got my room keys and my handbag before locking the door and leaving for the dinner date that Townes had planned for me. I met him earlier this morning when I was playing chess against him. When he lost, he asked me out for a date, saying that he wanted to know more about me. Taking the stairs, I went to the first floor of the hotel. It was just a place with a few couches, tables and a small bar. A lot of people were sitting in that area, a few were sipping on their martini and enjoying their Saturday night.

On the corner of my eye, I saw a larger group of men chatting. They were all listening to Benny, my most annoying, narcissistic and cocky chess competitor. The one with whom I am still sharing the US championship trophy. I don't even know why people are so attracted to his so-called stories and experiences. I even saw him playing a few chess moves. A smirk eventually formed on his face when he caught me staring at him. Rolling my eyes at him, I checked the wall clock, Townes would be here in a few minutes, he said he'd be on the first floor and then we would go out together. I looked back in Benny's direction and rolled my eyes for the hundredth time today when I saw him coming towards me. My eyes are gonna get stuck on the back of my head someday. I thought."Why hello, y/n?" he grinned. "Hello, Benny." I sighed. "Going out somewhere?" he asked. "Yeah." I tried to keep the conversation short.

"Well, I've never seen you going out on the night before a match." he chuckled. "What's the matter with you, huh? Can't you stop annoying me for once?" I said bitterly. "No can do that,love. After all I'm-" Benny tried saying but our conversation was interrupted when I felt a tap on my shoulder and I turned around to see Townes. A small smile formed on my lips when he held my hand and kissed it. "You look beautiful my dear." Townes said. "You look nice too." I said, blushing a little. "I think we should leave." I faced Benny but he was already glaring daggers at Townes. "Benny..." I called him. "Benny!" I snapped my fingers at him, getting him out of his trance. "Yeah, we'll meet at the match tomorrow." he said. He took a sip from his beer bottle and went back to sit with the group of men. Benny and I weren't the best of friends, we had a bittersweet relation but I'm sure there's something on his mind.

Benny's Pov:

There she was, going out on a date with that stupid guy. I watched them walk downstairs with their fingers interlocked and she was constantly smiling while he flirted with her. He leaned in and kissed her cheek before they totally disappeared out of my sight. I played chess for sometime, drank more beer and smoked a cigarette. These men around me were buggin' my head and I was absentmindedly playing chess against them. Y/n was still on my mind. She's always on my mind. I keep dreaming about her, her beautiful eyes, her bouncy hair and the way she swayed her hips while walking. "That's it for today, I gotta go." I declared. A few men shook hands with me and left. I gathered all the chess pieces and the wooden board, putting them away in a fancy box. I put on my hat again and went upstairs on the fourth floor of the hotel where my room was. Opening the door with my key, I went in and drank a little more before going to bed. Tomorrow's going to be a long day.

Your Pov:

I stirred in my sleep, changed a few sleeping positions, stared at the ceiling and then I finally woke up when I realized that I won't be able to sleep anymore. Yesterday's date went pretty well but I don't think that I actually like Townes that much, he's really not my type. At almost nine am, I ordered myself a decent cup of tea as I studied a few chess patterns from Benny's chess magazine. The U.S Open was going to start at around four pm in the afternoon, I had enough time to prepare. It's not like I have to study much. Anyways me and Benny were going to play against boring chess players to maintain our status as the co- champions of The U.S. The only thing I have to worry about is Benny defeating me, and as far as I know, we don't have any matches scheduled against each other until the next week. I was getting bored so I carried my chessboard to the bathroom. I placed it on a mini table, filled up the bathtub and took a nice long bath.

Benny's Pov:

It was almost four pm so I locked my room and started going down the stairs. I reached the auditorium where the U.S. open was to be held. A group of reporters clicked pictures, asked questions and followed me but the guards stopped them and I simply ignored. Sitting on a chair, I waited for y/n to arrive. After a couple of minutes, the cameras flashed again and I heard the reporters calling her name. She came and I stood up to greet her. After that, she sat beside me. The selected opponents sat across from us and played with both of us one at a time. I noticed a new girl, she was Elizabeth Harmon. She sat across from me and then we played. Even though she lost, I really saw great potential in her. Y/n defeated her easily too but I believe that someday Elizabeth would definitely be a great player. After what seemed like hours, me and y/n got up and left the auditorium together. "What do you think about that Harmon girl?" Y/n asked while we were just strolling.

"Well, she gave me a tough game. I think she just needs some more practice." I said and y/n agreed. We kept walking beside each other,talking about some random stuff when she suddenly flinched and startled me. I looked beside to see someone's arms wrapped around her waist. I quickly grabbed her by her arm and pulled her towards my chest. Then we finally saw who it was, it was that stupid guy, Townes. "What the hell Townes! You scared the shit out of me!" she said angrily. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you." he said. "Yeah, I'm sure you didn't." she rolled her eyes at him. She often does that when she's annoyed by someone. "Why are you here?" she asked. "I'm here to tell you that I'm so proud of you." he said and kissed her cheek again. Hey! Stop kissing my girl!!! Wait, she's not mine right now. She visibly hesitated when he hugged her right after kissing her. I'm so gonna blow up at him if he doesn't stop touching her right now.

Your Pov:

I gave him a quick hug and pulled away. "So, are we still on for tonight?" he asked. "Uh, I-" I tried saying but Benny cut me off. "No, she's going out with me tonight." Benny shot a glare at Townes and held my hand, interlocking our fingers. "What do you m-" I tried saying but I was rudely cut off by him again. "Come on y/n, I'm taking you back to your room." he started dragging me towards the stairs. I gave Townes an apologetic look and told that I'll call him once I reach my room. Once we reached the first floor, I asked Benny what was wrong with him. "Benny, stop. What's the matter!?" I asked. We climbed up another flight of stairs and he still kept dragging me. "Benny Watts! Leave my fucking hand!" I pulled my hand away from his grasp and glared. "Y/n, let's just go to your room, alright?" he said. "No, tell me why you're behaving like that?" I raised my voice since there was nobody around us. "Y/n, I can't tell you." he sighed. "Benny, this is inappropriate." I said.

"Love, I don't know how to say this..." he said, his expression was stern. For almost a minute we kept staring at each other. "Fuck it."he mumbled under his breath and pinning me on the nearest wall, he smashed his lips on mine. Our lips moved in sync, his lips felt so good on mine. When we pulled away, he placed a soft kiss on my temple and held both my hands in his large ones. "Y/n, I met you almost three years ago, since then we've been nothing but friends and I really wish we could be more than that, because... I'm so in love with you." he said. He looked at me with nothing but love. Every single word he said was so ture. We met, we've been friends, it's true that he annoyed me a lot but deep down I knew how much he meant to me. "Love, will you be my girlfriend?" he asked, snapping me out of my thoughts. Instead of saying anything, I stood on my tip toes and kissed him again. My hands went around his neck to pull him closer and he smiled while kissing.

"Yes, I'll be your girlfriend." I said. When we pulled away, I saw his eyes glistening with tears. "Benny, are you okay?" I asked. "Yeah...yeah, I'm fine. I'm just so lucky to have you as my girlfriend."he said. Aww, he's such a baby. I thought. "I'm happy too." I wiped away his tears and then we hugged for what felt like eternity. "Let's go to my room now?" I asked and he nodded. We climbed up a few more flights of stairs and then walked towards my room door. What about Townes... he's a really nice guy, he likes me but I don't feel the same for him. I should talk to him about it. I thought. I fiddled with my keys and opened the door messily. As soon as I stepped in, something clicked in my mind. My eyes widened at the thought and I turned around to face Benny. A smirk eventually formed on my face and I narrowed my eyes at him," Benny...were you jealous of Townes?" I asked. "N- no, why would I be jealous?" he stuttered and I immediately caught that he was lying. "It's okay honey, come in." I laughed and pulled him in my room.
