Bennifer, maybe it's right

Chapitre 12

Jen's POV

A lot of things changed in the last month, we tried to be more discreet with our couple than twenty years ago. And it's working pretty well. We're avoiding press or interview, we're trying to sneak when paparazzi are around us, even if a few pictures went out. Ben is caring and loving, it feels so great to have someone like him around me.

With the kids, it's strangely good, almost like Ben has always be with them, and I try to be the best step mom that I can when I'm at his place. We went out multiple times with everybody, we did attraction parc, we went out a lot to restaurant, and I'm getting a long with their mother, an important step.

Ben and I just came back from our little trip in the Hamptons to celebrate The 4th of July with very close friends, it was very relaxing, we walked for hours just the two of us, always leaning against each other.

During the little week, Ben made me an incredible surprise. I had literally no plan for my birthday unlike other years, I had no idea what I could do and where we could go, actually I was not even sure if I wanted a big celebration. And the last night, we were sit in front of the house we had rented and without saying a word, he handed me an envelopp.

No very interested about the thing, I began to kiss his neck, and smiled as he put me on his leg...

Flashback

"As much as I want to kiss you right now, open it Jen." He says, giggling, like a teenager scared to ask a girl at the prom night.

"Oh, ah okay" I begin to open the letter and I see two little things.. "A flashcode, really?" I ask, a little surprised, "Yes, look at the rest"

I take a look at a little piece of paper, with his handwriting on it, and I begin to read it, it says:

Hey, it's me, I'm mean I hope that you're with me when you're reading this, so, okay first, thank you for the past months, I feel like I'm alive again, and I'm really excited to see what the next few months have in store for us. Ok, next step, flash the code with your phone.

Smiling like a fool, I take my phone and scan the code. And then, a video, a video montage of him and I, the last months and twenty years ago, and at the really end, a flight ticket to France.

"You deserve a big birthday, but above all, a real vacation, and France, country of love you know, a little cruise, you and I" He says whispering in my ears, as my tears fall once again.

"I.. hum" Three words Jen, three words, it's really hard to say them? No, in fact, but so scary... It's always a big thing, a big deal for three words, it's really a good time to tell them? What if he doesn't feel that way? Yes but we said it to each other long time ago...

" I love you" He cuts me, "I really do, and It's scary, and I want to travel with you, and do more than that" He smiles, putting his hand on my cheek.

"I love you too" I kiss him almost unable to articulate a word.

Few minutes after, few kisses too, we're just looking at each other, without talking.

Then he smiles " you didn't tell me if you wanted to celebrate your birthday in France or not". "Hum, let me think about it, you and me, on a boat, with french food, making love all the night, I don't think that I can decline that" I laugh, resting my head on his shoulder. And the night went out...

Hiiii, it's me again, sorry for this short update after the long pause.

I hope that you liked that part, thank you for reading and liking this story. And if you have ideas or things that you want to read in that story, don't hesitate to share them with me!

Have a nice day !
