Bennifer, maybe it's right

Chapitre 5

Jen's Pov

Don't get me wrong, I am dying to lunch with him, but right now I have literally no time. I just came home and I have to sing at the "VAX LIVE: The Concert to Reunite the World" tonight. So, unfortunately lunch has to wait. I really hope that he understand. We discuss everyday, by email a lot and I really like that way to communicate, it's just us. 

I have to get ready, now. I'm gonna sing Sweet Caroline first, this song is so personal to me and my family, I can't wait. On top of that, I'll close the show with Ain't your mama. We're gonna kill it. 

I warm up with my dancers when I see Elaine running towards me. Fuck.

"Hey, calm down, what's happening?" I say, not understanding why she's so stressed. She's never stressed when I perform.

"Okay, you have to know one thing before you jump on scene" She stop and take a breath. "Ben Affleck is here, he co-host a part of the show with Jimmy Kimmel for something like a skit"

"I... really? Please tell me you're kidding right now" She looks at me, nodding her head. "Oh my god, I just..okay... no matter" I smile a little.

"What are you going to do?" That's a great question, really I don't know at this point. "I'm gonna avoid him, we'll see, for now I think it's the best thing to do actually". I say as I get on stage, trying as hard as I can to act like everything is normal.

Ben's Pov:

So, we didn't have lunch, she said that she was occupied, and I totally understand, this one never stop. Tonight, I got to go at the Vax concert by Global Citizen, I know this is a really important show, but I have no motivation. I'm going to see a good friend, Jimmy, I hope our little skit will be good. I don't want to deal with the entire twitter laughing at me. I'm too old for that.

I come out of my car. Late. The show has already began. Fortunaly, my part is at the end of the show. I walk in backstage to join Jimmy when I hear one voice singing. I freeze. It's a voice that I would recognize between 1000. I take a look to be sure. Then I perceive a little woman singing Sweet Caroline with all the heart she has. I'm so impressed, I mean, almost captivated by her, I can't take my eyes of her. She's there, so close to me. 

I absolutely know that she'll avoid me tonight if she knows that I'm there too. But don't you think I'll let her go. Tonight, It's my lucky night. I go on stage, do the things I have to do, but my mind keeps thinking about her. It's almost the end and I didn't talk to her. I finish my text and i go back in my dressing room, when I meet a face that I know.

"Elaine !" I catch her arm. "Hey, sorry, do you know where I can see Jennifer?" I smile but slightly.

"Hey Benjamin, how are you? I'm good, thanks. How long has it been since we last saw each other? Oh my god time flies?" She responds almost acting pissed. " I'm sorry.." She cuts me. "Actually she's on stage" She says pointing me the screen. " Dress room 3, don't be late, I bring her home".

I look at her leaving, a little shocked as I admire Jennifer dancing and singing. Man, she got better and better, and she ages like wine, really good wine. She looks incredible.

I decide to wait for her, in front of her dress room door, maybe it's too much or to soon, but maybe it's right. I don't care, we will see.

I wait, when I see her next to me. I decide to just touch her back.

"Hey you" I say, looking at her bright smile..
