(WARNINGX there will be a bit of a heated scene toward the endX)
Mordecai's POV
After awhile the rain fell harder, it pierced my cheeks, "Um come on, its getting late and the rain is getting bad." Benson pulled my arm and we slipped back into the car, soaking the seats. We sighed with relief. "Ok lets get driving." Benson put the car into drive and we set off back home. "So you went to college?" Benson asked, trying to make conversation. "Uh, yeah, Art college, I did mention Don and I finished school right? I went to Art college." "Oh thats cool." Benson mused.
Even though it was summer, it got dark really quick. "Um, where are we?"I squeaked,I was still nervous to be around him, "Well, we are only um, a couple hours away from the park." He mumbled. "What?!"I jumped in my seat. "Well, this place is in a higher class town, and I dont really know the roads here." Benson blushed.
"Why are we lost in a rich town?"
"...."
"....." I felt my face burn, he wanted me to go with him to a nice place, but I'm still not sure he likes me, even though he kissed me. What, I'm skeptical. "Well, what time is it?" I noticed my flowers were slightly wilted. " Um, well we left at,3 o'clock, it took us a 45 minutes to get to the florists, 20 minutes to the store, and 2 hours to the shop, so 6 o'clock." "I-I was asleep for 2 hours?" "Yeah, don't worry, we'll be there in no time." Just as he said that the truck began to rattle and the front started to smoke.
"Of course," He hissed, slamming his hand on the wheel, my heart skipped a beat as his face reddened with anger. I made a strangled noise in my throat, the way he got so angry wasn't good for him, "Ugh, dont worry, I'll call a tow truck."
"Ok." I yawned, it was getting cold because of my rain soaked body and cool summer night air and it left me in shivers. It was a only 10 minutes before the truck came and towed us back by the coffee shop.

"H-How long?" Benson asked the manager, "I said it'll be ready tomorrow." The man said. "Isnt there any way we can have it today?" He pleaded, "Im sorry sir, but no." "Arg." Benson growled , he was about to kick a trash can but I pulled him back. "Benson as much as I like you when your angry, you have to calm down." He sighed, "I know, I know, ok, Well do you know where we can stay the night?" He turned to the man.
"Yeah there's a Hotel next door." He nodded toward the front. "Thanks, " We headed out and went to the Hotel. "Hello,"A very old woman greeted me at the door, she sat in a rocking chair in the lobby. "Oh, hello ma'am,"I smiled.Benson pointed to the desk, indicating that he'd check us in."How are you feeling, Mordecai?" She rasped, a wrinkled smile on her face.
"How did you-" "Oh there's still some magic in these old bones, Im a wicken dear." "Oh, well what do you want from me ma'am?" "Dont call me ma'am, makes me feel old. My name is Miria, Now, there's no such thing as coincidence, so you have a wish don't you?About a certain man named Benson right?" She chuckled, "Yes ma'am." "DON"T call me ma'am," She huffed angrily, her gray hair falling in her face. "Sorry Ma- Miria."
"You wish for him to be more honest with you, to know if he truly has feelings for you and not just sympathy?" I nodded. "well, Ive been getting on in years so lately I hang around my son's Hotel and grant wishes for free, I figured why ask for payment if I'm just going to die later anyway? Well Ill grant your wish, it will last until tomorrow morning. It will make Benson completely honest with you, Though actions speak louder than words, so he may not say it, he'll show you as well. If he has any sign of true love for you in his heart, even the slightest, he'll show it. But he may get aggressive with you if he hates you. So be very careful, well he may hurt you if he likes you too." She laughed.
I blushed, "Well, the spell will start when you enter your room, try to be considerate to the other guesta so dont be to loud." "Come on Mordecai, I got our room key."He called me over, "Bye, thank you Miss," "Come to me if you need help." She waved her tan, wrinkled hand.
My heart raced as we reached our room, awaiting the truth made my chest tighten and my blood run cold. He unlocked the door and I looked around. There were two king sized beds and a night table in between. I sat on the first bed looking at my feet. Benson locked the door. "So you want this bed or that one?" I asked casually, I looked up to see Benson almost a foot infont of me.
"O-Or or or or or or, you can take this one." I laughed nervously. He laughed huskily.(OK children you see where this piece is goin', its not too bad but if you feel uncomfortable feel free to skip this part.)
"Your so cute Mordecai." He advanced, and i crawled up the bed, 'till my head hit the head board. "Ah." I let out a squeak, "Hm," He chuckled, kissing me. I kissed back almost imediately, He truly likes me! was the thought that swam through my brain as Benson feeled me up, Every spot he touched burned with heat.
His hand slipped down to my thigh.

My lower back ached when I woke the next morning. "Uh." I groaned, trying to massage my back. "Huh?" I looked around, I was in Benson's bed, on his chest. "Hm? What is it?" He yawned, rubbing the sleep from his eyes. "M-Mordecai what are you doing in my bed? Wait a second-oh god, did we-" I nodded, sadly, he didn't look too happy about it.
"Why was I acting so weird last night?" He groaned again. I whined, trying not to tell him, he might get angry with me, but it means he has feelings for me. "Lets not mention this to anyone ok?" He slipped out of bed, into the bathroom, I heard the shower turn on. Tears welled in my eyes,
I Cant believe him! Why won't he just admit to his feelings, I mean He and I just had sex (Surprise!)and it doesnt mean a thing to him but regret! I cleaned myslef up and ran down to the lobby to talk with Miria.She frowned when she saw me running to her. "He denied the feelings?" she sighed.
"Such a naive man." she shook her head. "If you need help, Im always here. I can get you a job here if you'd like." she held my hands in hers."Oh Miria, I couldn't just leave my brother and-and" "Benson? Hmph, well if you ever want to relax and escape, ill be here." She smiled.

"Mordecai! Where did you go?!! you've been gone all night!!" Rigby screeched, tears were at the corners of his eyes. "I-I know I'm sorry Rigby, we had car trouble." I hugged him, he went into slight hysterics if I made him worry. "Just, don't leave again without telling me! And dont hug me!!" he spat, trying to be brave.
"So what happened?" He asked, jumping onto his bed. "The truth?" I sighed. "Yeah." "Benson and I had sex." I blurted out. "Ew!" he scrunched up his face. "Rigby." I sighed."Sorry, so are you guys together?" "No." "Well why not?" "Because Benson didn't want anyone else to find out."
"He what?" Rigby jumped up. "It's ok Rigby really." "No it's not ok! He used you!" "He didn't use me." I explained what happened with Miria. "Oh,so he's just denying how he feels?" "yeah, and I was thinking of taking that offer, Benson didn't say a word to me on the way back and he hasn't spoken to me since, I think its time I moved on. I had one night of love, I'm fine with it. So do you want to work at a hotel?"
"I dont want to work at all, but I'm ok with it, i'll miss everyone though." "Yeah i'll miss them too. C'mon if your going then we have to tell pops we're quiting." "Alright."
