Curveball A Benny Love Story

Benny & The Diner 'Date'

The next day, I woke up with a smile on my face remembering my kiss with Benny last night. I got dressed in a pair of shorts, Black PF Flyers, a white tank top, & the jersey Benny gave me last night. I brushed my teeth & did my hair into space buns with certain strands of hair out onto my face. I walked downstairs hoping not to see my father but just like usual, he was there. I was ready to hear what he had to say this time. But to my surprise, he said nothing to me at all. He was a slient as a ghost.

I heard knocking at the door & I ran to go see who it was. It was Benny, who was nearly wearing the same thing as me, except Benny had on jeans & his LA Dodgers hat. "Y/n! Are you ready to go?" Benny asked me. "Yeah, just let me grab my wallet." I grabbed my wallet & we walked to the diner. "So, you ready for that dinner tonight?" "Not really, I'd rather just spend dinner with you." Benny blushed when I said that. "Is this your first time to a diner?" Benny asked. "Nope, I went with my mom before she left." I replied.

"I'm sorry if this disturbs you. I should've never asked." Benny said. I pecked his lips & said, "It's alright. I don't mind you asking." We ended up getting to the diner & Benny held open the door for me. "Benjamin Franklin Rodriguez, I could have held the door!" "No woman should hold the door for herself. That's what my mom taught me." 

"When did your mom teach you?" "Today." Benny answered bluntly. I had a sour look on my face until he started laughing. "Oh god, you should see your face. I learned this when I was 6 years old, not today!" He said laughing. His face was too adorable, I found myself laughing too.

"About that dinner the first time you came over, I'm sorry for my dad's behavior." "It's alright, It didn't keep us apart did it?" We ordered F/F & Root Beer Floats. "I wish you could come with me to the dinner Benny." "Who's it gonna be with?" Benny had asked. "My dad's boss's family. I think their last name are Phillips? I can't remember." Suddenly, Benny's once beautiful hazel eyes had turned into a dark brown. Benny left the diner in a rush & I ended up running after him. 

"BENNY!!" I yelled after him. "Yeah y/n?" "What's up?" "It's just that you're going to have dinner with the gang & I's sworn enemy." "Wait, what?!" "Yeah, their son John Phillips also known as Johnny is our enemy." "I didn't know Benny. If it would help, I won't go." I said. "No, I don't want your father to get mad at me or you." I looked at him & he looked at me, eyes filled with sincere. "Y/n? Would you be my girlfriend?" "Of course, Benjamin." We kissed again & he pulled something out of his pocket.

"I got you a hat too." It was like his & he put it on top of my head. "So everyone knows you're mine." "So, I guess this diner hangout was considered a date?" I asked him. "Yeah, it was considered a date." Benny said while wrapping an arm around me. He went to his house for a while & went to his room. We laid there & I started playing with his fingers, & he was playing with my hair. "Hey kids, are you guys hungry?" Maria asked us. "We're okay mom, I gotta take my girlfriend home anyway." Benny said surprising his mom.

"You did it Mijo?!" Maria asked. "Yes mom, I did & I'm glad I did." Benny said. "Well now, you're like my daughter now Y/n." I ran up from Benny's bed & hugged her. "Thank you Maria." I said. "Y/n I gotta get you home now for your dinner." Benny said. Maria & I hugged each other for the last time for the night & left the house. Benny walked with me the whole time holding my hand. "What about my dad?" "I don't care, I love you too much to be afraid of him." I kissed him, told him goodnight, & walked into the house.

I'm really dreading this dinner, I just want to be with Benny again.
