It's Not Easy

~Two~

I woke up, and groggily rolled over checking my surroundings. I'd slept at Ben's for the first time, it was odd waking up in his bedroom. I yawned, moving away from Ben so I could stretch without waking him up.

"Morning." Ben said sleepily, when I got up from the bed.

"Good morning, handsome." I smiled at him.

"You look great in the morning, have I ever told you that?" He smiled, and I rolled my eyes at him.

"Every morning I've seen you." I responded.

"Do you work today?" He asked, sitting up a little in his bed.

"I do, I have an appointment at 12:30." I told him, watching him pout.

"But, I want you to stay here." He whined.

"Next time." I smiled. "And we can always get together when I'm off work."

"I'll miss you." He laughed.

"You're so cheesy sometimes, Ben." I rolled my eyes. "I've got to get home though, I need to shower and change."

"I don't want you to go." He whined.

"I can't change here." I laughed. "Maybe next time."

I left and was beyond thankful I didn't see either of his daughters on my way out. I sighed heavily, walking towards my car and getting in. I drove away listening to the radio and trying to clear the thought of Ben's daughters from my mind.

Of course, when I got to work I immediately rushed to the receptionist Erin and asked if my appointment had come in already, Ms. Lovett had a habit of coming in earlier than planned.

"Not yet." Erin laughed. "I expect to see her rush in any second now."

"Good, I have to make my table before she gets here." I smiled, racing to the back room to grab sheets for the table.

"I just got off work." I said into the phone, Ben of course, wanted me to come over again.

"Grab some clothes and come by." He said, I could almost hear the smile on his face.

"You've got to deal with the girls, and they've got school tomorrow." I sighed. "I don't want to be in the way."

"They're sixteen, they get themselves up and out of bed. I knots never see them before they go to school." He told me. "Come on, we can go out for dinner and then come here."

"You won't let me say no will you?" I laughed, walking to my car.

"Nope, so you'll be here for seven?" He said smugly.

"Alright, I'll go home and change then I'll head straight to your house." I told him. "I'll see you in a bit, bye."

"Alright, see you at seven. Bye." Ben said, before hanging up.

Looks like I'm go on a date tonight...
