Ben Affleck Imagines

Let's Dance

You stuffed another chip in your mouth gaze remaining on Ben from across the crowded room  How can someone be so perfect? You asked yourself. From across the way you watched as he said something and then laughed with the group of people surrounding him. You yourself honestly couldn't help but smile a bit once you saw him cackling at his own joke. As you took a sip from your red plastic cup and Tapped Your Foot to the music that was on.

You glanced around the room one more time before you brought your focus back on Ben who soon spots you eyeing him. Ben excuses himself from the group and makes his way towards you. "Well hello there gorgeous" Ben says wiggling his eyebrows. "Hi there handsome," you play along and he grins at your response.

Turning off the jokes he moves beside you joining you in the people watching. "What are you doing over here all by yourself?"

You shrug and take another sip from your drink. "Enjoying the free snacks" you say munching away. "Want one?" You hold up a chip offering it to him and he opens his mouth like a baby bird allowing you to playfully pop the snack in.

As you two stand there looking around the room, the song playing overhead switches and you two watch as people split off swaying to the romantic music. "I guess this is my cue" Ben says. He positions himself right in front of you and holds a hand out "may I have this dance?"

You want to say yes why wouldn't you say yes. He's your boyfriend Although every ounce of your body is leaning towards yes your eyes drift around the room once more and your brows knit together. Bringing your eyes back to him you surprise yourself when you end up saying  "no."

Your answer was so blunt and blatant that it takes both you and Ben a moment to register what you had said. He leans back with a slightly puzzled expression. "I'm going to go get some fresh air" you mumble setting down the red  cup  you had in your hand and exiting the party scene.

And that's how you ended up all alone on the back porch which was surprisingly empty. You lean against the railing with your forearms hanging over and it wasn't long before Ben Had found you and joined you against the barrier. Together you relax in silence for a moment just enjoying the night air along with the muffled sounds emitting from the house.

Turning to face him you speak up "I wanted to dance with you." He nods already seeming to know that as fact. "I know."

"You...do?"

Ben shoots you a face that says "oh please" before saying "you think I don't know you?" You stare at him blankly and he continues "I saw that look in your eyes when you were watching everybody dance. You wanted to dance too" Ben takes a pause as if trying to word his next sentence carefully. "But I also saw the other look you had when your eyes drifted around after I had asked you. You were really fucking nervous."

Your gaze falls downward growing slightly flustered at how well he knows you. "It's weird I know no one's going to be looking at me but just the thought of dancing in front of everyone...I don't like it."

Ben's lips purse to the side while he thinks your words over but soon he breaks into a grin. "Well nobody's out here" Ben announces making you ask "what?" Ben pushes himself off from the railing and moves right to the middle of the porch before saying "It's just us here no body else just us right here."

He was right.

Ben extends his arm towards you and repeats his earlier question "may I have this dance?" You bite your bottom lip looking at his hand. Reluctantly you reach out laying your hand on top of his and in a swift motion Ben tugs you close placing your arms around his neck before resting his hands on your waist. You rest your head against his chest while you two sway to the muffled music.

The formerly freezing night suddenly didn't seem so cold anymore.
