The babysitter

7

Miranda blew out a deep breath and sat back down.
"Now back to what i was saying is that i would to go with you to the carnival"

"Wow.."
"is that a good wow or a bad wow" Miranda said concerned
"It's a good wow. Miranda you are the most toughest and the smartest woman I've ever known. I would've beat their as-"

"No finish your threat I'm listening . You would've beat some what" she said sarcastically

"I would've beaten some sense into them you know what i meant ha ha"
"Nice save Benjamin"
They both laughed.

"Did you still want to eat here." Ben asked
"No, They ruined this restaurant for me"
"Yea do you like seafood"
"I love seafood" Miranda gasped almost screaming it.

They grabbed their belongings and held each other hands walking out the door.

Ben drove to a seafood place where they serve Cajun seafood in bag then went to bens house.

"Ben i gotta give it to you. This food was so good and trying to make this date as safe as possible." She said wiping her mouth and sipping her drink.

"Yea this is way out of my plan of taking you out to a nice restaurant but you know i would do anything for you beautiful" Ben responds smiling then licks his lips.

Miranda blushed and also felt herself getting moist.

"I hate the aftertaste of garlic and seafood in my mouth,I'm gonna go brush my teeth. Do you want to brush yours too"

Miranda was hesitant at first because of the thought of going into his bedroom.

"Miranda were going to brush our teeth. I don't bite" Ben chuckled
"ben shut up and yes" Miranda grabbed his hand walking to his room.

Ben's room was as nice as his living room. It felt like she was at home already. He had a big walk-in closet and the bathroom was big but only had one sink.

"You can go first I'll wait for you"
Miranda searched around everywhere in his bathroom for toothbrushes she didn't want to bother Ben, she already brushing his teeth in his bathroom. Miranda opened another cabinet and she saw lube and condoms in it. She immediately closed it.

"Ben where are your toothbrushes." miranda poked her head out the bathroom but ben wasn't in the room.

"yea my bad I had to step out to make a call. its in the cabinet above the sink."

Miranda found the toothbrush and brushed her teeth then let ben brushed his.

miranda heard her phone ding and it was a message from Callie asking how everything was going. she texted Callie everything that happened at the restaurant then telling her that they were at the his house.

C: okay let me know if you need to be picked up in the morning so you don't have to do a walk of shame back home. lol

Miranda rolled her eyes then threw her phone on the couch and started to look around his house.

Miranda saw a lot of paintings but he saw his certified license of anesthesiology and other awards.

"Okay I'm back" ben came back with a bottle of wine.
" ohh what's is called" Miranda said grabbing the bottle then going to the kitchen

"It's Pinot noir. You wanna watch a movie on Netflix" ben followed behind her and grabbed two glasses and poured the wine

" yea and I have a movie that's on Netflix. I forgot what it's called but  Callie told me to watch it because she knew I like those types of science fiction movies. if that's fine with you.

"yea that's fine"

They went to the living room  and started watching the movie. 5 minutes into the movie ben head was bobbing back and forth trying to keep his head up as they cuddled together. miranda chuckled to herself then moved ben's head so he was laying in her lap.

Once the movie was over, miranda was a sip away from being done with the bottle of wine. She took the last sip then looked down at ben who was sleeping like a baby on her lap. There was a rattle of keys at the door like somebody was trying to get in. Miranda thought it was a landlord or something.  The door opened, it was Veronica.

"oh he let you stay over. you guys are on my bed so if y'all will kindly get the fuck off that will be nice." she leaned on the door with a half ripped skirt, a bruise on her cheek, and bloodrunning down her shirt.

"Did tucker do this is"miranda stood up making ben fall off the couch and walked towards her.

"damn miranda. you could've jus--" ben looks up at the women in the room.

" I'm not stupid because i used to live around this area with him and this isn't a bad neighborhood. Tell me truthfully when I ask you this. DID TUCKER DO THIS TO YOU"Miranda stared deeply into her eyes.

she saw that Veronica was on the verge of crying and trying to hold it back.

"Benjamin will you please get this bitch she's all in my fucking business" Veronica said looking at ben standing behind miranda.

"I'm with miranda on this one. what happened to you and why are you coming in so late."

"oh so she stays with you" miranda turned around looking at ben.

"Temporarily but we can talk about that later.she's bleeding down her shirt."

Miranda sucked up all of her emotions and stayed focused on Veronica who she barley even cared about but if she didn't it would go against all of what she lived for.

" Let us help you. you're going to bleed out." ben said

"okay only because I'm feeling fain-" Veronica lost consciousness and ben catches her before she fall on the floor.

"This is perfect." miranda deeply sighed.
