{Chapter Fourteen -Benjamin "Ben" Anders}
EARLY IN THE MORNING LYDIA WAKES UP FROM A DREAM OF BEING MARRIED TO LOVE AND HAVING CHILDREN. Lydia considers it as a nightmare. She loves William, she really does but he's hardly around so she questions if he loves her back.
She goes to the kitchen, pouring herself a cup of cold water. She takes a sip, shaking her head. "Bom Dia meu Amor." William greets her, kissing her cheek.
Lydia smiles a bit. "Bom Dia! Quer ir para Anarvin para o café da manhã?"
"Uh well I invited Love over to have whatever we're cooking." William shrugs.
Lydia looks away. "Oh. Well that's fine too. But uhm. Do we even have breakfast food?"
William pauses. "I don't think we do. And I'd hate to ask her to buy groceries for us."
"I can go get some before she arrives. Besides, I wouldn't want to ask her either." Lydia finishes drinking her water.
Love knocks on the door before entering the house, closing the door before her. "It was unlocked, that's not very safe. So where's the breakfast William was talking about?"
"Well we don't have any breakfast food so I'm going shopping." Lydia summarizes the situation while putting her sneakers on.
"I actually can go get it for you. And then I can make it." Love volunteers.
"Fine. But that's all. And then tomorrow we'll be serving you some delicious breakfast." Lydia chuckles.
Love chuckles too, waving to William before leaving, going to Anarvin. She gets all the groceries she'll need to make breakfast for three people, and for more if anyone else shows up.
When she gets done shopping she puts the groceries in her trunk but the shopping cart decides it wants to roll away, until a man wearing a hoodie that says 'Cali' on it stops it, bringing it back over to her.
"Here you go." The man says, shaking his head.
"Thank you." Love thanks him. "You're Love Quinn." He points out.
Love chuckles. "Yes, I am. And you're some guy I met in the parking lot of my families business."
He playfully shakes his head. "I'm Benjamin Anders. But please call me Ben."
"Well it was a pleasure meeting you. Ben." She says, closing her trunk.
"You should come to a party I'm throwing later tonight. It's gonna be the party of the year." Ben invites.
Love looks a bit interested. "I might stop by. But I'll probably be busy tonight, hanging out with my crush so."
"Well if you ever need a friend to talk to. I'm here." He says before going to his own car.
Love gets in her car and drives back to Lydia and William's place, entering because the door was still unlocked.
William goes to the bathroom, which leaves Lydia and Love alone. The brunette takes the groceries out of the bag, setting it on the counter.
"I had a dream about us." Lydia says out of nowhere.
Love smiles but then realizes what William did for Lydia and that Lydia doesn't know what he did for her. "Oh?"
"We were married." Lydia continues, sitting down on a stool.
"Wow." Love holds back another smile, turning the stove on.
Lydia walks over to Love, about to kiss her but Love prevents that from happening. "Lydia. You have a husband that loves you! I'd kill to be married to someone like William. Ok? You don't know the things that man has done for you."
Lydia walks back over to the stool. "I guess I didn't realize..."
Love puts her hair into a ponytail. "Yeah. Because we just never do."
