alone

Chapter 15

...with the love of my life.

{Bens POV}

We walked out and he placed a picnic blanket down on the grass.

it was beautiful. so beautiful. the orange sunset was setting, and the grass was so green.

"hey liv, I didn't know of you liked turkey of ham so I packed you one of both. I wasn't su-"

"ben it's perfect. everything is perfect."

and for once in my life I wasn't lying. everything was perfect.

ben looked amazing. his blue eyes wandered over the cliffs, and his hair looked like waves, running over his forehead.

he made me feel safe, like nothing could get to me.

suddenly he looked at me with those eyes, and his tone changed completely.

"liv, I really want this to work. I feel something that I've never felt with someone else. you make me feel like the person I've always wanted to be, and I know that we just met, but I really really like you."

he looked down, and his face softened.

"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said anything."

"no," I said, "I really like you too. and I prefer turkey."

he laughed, and from there, our date only got better.
