The Ultimate Christmas Present

I Found The House!

Ben missed every call from Melissa and emails from schools as he sat in the lobby all day waiting for Miranda to get off work.

By the end of the day Ben was sleeping on one of the lobby couches and Miranda saw him as she was coming down the stairs.

"Umm how long has that man been there?", Miranda asked the nurse at the desk.

"I think all day I just got on shift."

"Oh okay, thank you!", she walked over to him trying to keep her attitude, but the closer she got and as she smelt his cologne she completely relaxed and scrunched up her face because she hated his affect he had over her. She wanted to be so mad at him, but if he was lying he would've never stayed she thought to herself.

She wrote her number and address on the back of some random papers in her pocket and tucked it in his arm and walked off. He must've smelt her scent because he instantly woke up when she walked by and away. 

"Leaving me again!", he said very tired still.

She smiled as she was about to open her car door. "I'm going home, that's what I'm doing. All of us doesn't have a whole day to waste by just sleeping on a lobby couch", she said wanting to sound annoyed, but it didn't work.

"Are you trying to stay mad at me because it's not working. I really am sorry Miranda."

"I know!", she got into her car shutting the door.

"Then why are you torching me!", he pouted leaning into her car window as she rolled it down.

"Because......you need to learn your lesson."

"And what's that?"

"Figure it out Doctor Benjamin Warren!", she said before rolling up her window and pulling off.

"Shit! My appointments", he remembered when she said doctor. He looked at his phone and had  multiple missed calls and messages. "Melissa I am so sorry, my day just got carried away and-..."

"Ben if you're not serious about getting Nyla then stop wasting my time. I'm doing my sister a favor and you. The least you could do is show up and do your part", she upset over the phone.

"I'm sorry and I am serious about getting Nyla. I just have so much on my plate right now and....", he started to tear up. 

"Ben Nyla doesn't have time for you to not put her first right now and if you can't even do this then how will you support her once you get her?"

"I'M FIGHTING FOR HER AREN'T I? AND YOU WILL NEVER HAVE TO QUESTION MY SUPPORT FOR HER! I HAVE TO GO", he yelled upset hanging up the phone. 

As he looked down seeing a piece of paper stuck to his arm, he grabbed it opening it up and immediately recognized the handwriting. Ben got in his car and went to Miranda's house after ordering them some takeout. He also made sure to email back the schools while he waited for the food.

"I'm coming!", Miranda yelled grabbing her robe going to the door. She had just rinsed off in the shower and didn't have time to dry off.

Her saying I'm coming made his penis twitch even though she didn't mean it in that context.

Ben almost dropped the food when she opened the door with her wet body clinging to her silk robe revealing everything.

"Yes!", she crossed her arms covering her hard nipples.

"I.....I....umm", Ben couldn't focus as his blood was leaving every part of his body going to only one location.

"Brought me food!", she rolled her head to the side smiling.
