Ivy's POV

The next morning I found myself alone, and in an unknown bedroom. My heart started racing.

Did I sleep with someone? God, had I just screwed things up with Ben? He'd surely never want a whore who was sleeping with people just as we were starting our relationship.

I had a bit of relief when I found I was still in my dress from last night.

Where the hell was I? The last thing I remember last night was calling Harry and then the rest is blank.

Wait, I called Harry.

My thoughts were cuff short by the bedroom door cracking open. All of my fears were shot down when Ben's head peaked in.

"Morning, how you feeling?" He smiled as he walked in and sat down on the end of the bed.

"Alright I guess. How did I even get wherever we are?" I frowned.

"You called me around four this morning, drunk, crying, and saying you were a complete idiot."

My cheeks heated up embarrassment.

"Care to explain?" He raised an eyebrow.

"What are you, my father?" I joked.
"No, just someone who cares about you. Why would you say that you were an idiot?"

"It's nothing," I shook my head.

"Did you sleep with someone?" He frowned.

"God, no. It's nothing," I blushed.

I was embarrassed that I had called Harry and cried for him to hear. Then I had a feeling Ben wouldn't stop until I told him.

"Please?" He pouted.
"I drunk dialed my ex last night, apparently before I called you."

Ben straightened up with a big frown on his face.

"It's nothing to worry about, he's a douchebag that lived back in California, nothing to be jealous of."

"Is this the ex you said it would take awhile to move on from?" He ignored my comment.

"Yeah, but then I realized how great of a guy you were and how much of a shame it would be if I didn't take this amazing opportunity."

Ben smiled as I crawled over to him and climbed onto his lap to straddle him.

"So what does this mean?" He grinned.
"It means," I paused. "That I want to be with you. You'll be mine and I'll be yours."

His smile that was already big, grew even more than I thought possible.

"So are you saying that if I ask you to be my girlfriend, you would say yes?"

"Depends," I grinned. "Are you asking?"

"No," he teased.

I playfully smacked his arm, "Jerk. Shame you weren't asking because I would have said yes."

"You would have?" He asked in a playful tone.

I nodded as our faces leaned in closer.

"Is it too late to change my no to a yes?" His eyes dropped to my lips.

I shook my head just before our lips met for a passionate kiss that made it feel like sparks were flying.

My hands ran through his golden hair and grabbed onto it while his hands stayed on my waist. Our lips passionately moving together.

We finally broke apart for air; a smile was worn on both of our faces.

"Would you like to go get some breakfast, girlfriend?" He smiled as he tried the words out.

"I would love to.. boyfriend."
•••

We sat at the table, waiting for our food we had ordered to show up. Ben was dressed in some skinny jeans and a sweater while I still had my dress on from last night.

Thankfully we were just at some crummy dinner that was full of people that had strange outfits on.

"You know what I just realized?" I blurted out.

"What's that?" Ben chuckled.
"Almost every time we see each other, we Instagram."

"Maybe Instagram will be our always?" Ben jokingly changed the line from The Fault In Our Stars.

I gasped, "How dare you change John Green's masterpiece?"

Ben only chuckled.

Our conversation was cut short by the waitress returned and set our omelettes in front of us.

We thanked her as she walked away, and instantly dug into our food.

I was in the middle of cutting a bite off when I heard a snapping noise from Ben's phone. I looked up to find him taking pictures of me.

Now must girls would start complaining about not looking okay, but I just smiled into the camera.

He stopped taking pictures and started typing, I figured it was a caption for the photo.

I took my phone out and found he had tagged me in a photo on Instagram.

-My beautiful girlfriend @PoisonIvy 😍😘 #luckytocallhermine #sorryboysshestaken #hers-

In the photo I was smiling brightly with my hair pulled up into a neat bun, no make up on, and my tight black dress.

"You took a photo so I should get to too," I pouted.

Ben nodded in agreement.

I pulled up the camera and pointed it towards him. Ben grinned with a big grin that almost reminded me of the emoji 😁 and put both his thumbs up.

"Got it," I chuckled.

While Ben went back to eating, I worked on captioning my picture.

-My smoking boyfriend @Beninja 🙈😍💛 #luckytocallhimmine #sorrygirlshestaken #his-

I pressed the post button and smirked as I waited for his reaction.

Ben picked up his phone and looked at the post.

"You stole my hashtags," he pouted.
"Deal with it babe," I teased.

He sat his phone down with a chuckle and went back to eating.

Then out of the blue he gets up and walks so he's next to my chair before getting down on one knee.

"Instagram?" He grinned.
"Instagram."

We both laughed as he returned to his seat.
