Jennifer's POV
Leah was in New York for some work but she's gonna be back tomorrow but only for two days then she has to leave again. I am currently working and the cocos are in school and this afternoon Marc is going to come over to pick them up so I'm alone for the weekend.

"I love you." I told Max and Emme as they left the house.
"You seem relieved?" Loren said.
Loren came over half an hour ago just to talk for a bit but our talks always just end after two to three hours.
"Mhm... I love them, they are my kids but they get older and they also get more and more exhausting."
Lauren let out a chuckle before saying, "That's one of the lovely things about having children."
"So funny" I mumbled, rolling my eyes.
"Anyw-" She said but got cut off by my phone buzzing.
"Who is it?" Loren asked.
I checked my phone and expected a message from Leah but instead I got a message from Ben.
"It's not important" I told her, laying my phone down.
"It's Leah, right?" She questioned and I shook my head, "I won't tell you."
"Pleaseee"
"No." I replied but Loren was quick. She grabbed my phone and checked my Lock Screen. Her eyes widened as soon as she saw the message from Ben.
"You gotta be kidding?!" She said in a shocked tone. "Why does he even have your number?" She asked. "I mean, 'Hey Jen, you wanna come over next week? And before you can say something, it's only as friends. We could grab some coffee and talk a bit?' Only as friends my ass." Loren crossed her arms.
"Calm do-"
"You can't meet him. The last time you me-" She snapped.
"Stop!" I shouted. "I know what the last time happened but I don't know if I'm going to meet him." I told her and earned a shocked look from her.
"You don't know?! That's lovely Jennifer." She said, rolling her eyes.
"First of all, it is still my business if I'm going to meet him and second of all, I probably won't even meet him." I said.
"It's not just your business. It may be not my business but may I remind you that you have a girlfriend?"
"Calm the fuck down. Yeah, Leah is my girlfriend but can't I just meet Ben just as friends?" I said in a stern voice.
"I don't know." She said, shrugging her shoulders. "Can you?" She asked. And before could I even answer, Loren continued, "No you can't. When you two are together you're like two crazy teenagers. You two can't keep your hands by yourself."
"Okay. I won't continue talking with you about such things." I told her, crossing my arms.
"Fine..." She mumbled.

I'm on my way to the airport to pick up Leah. I hope that isn't waiting for me already since I'm late, once again.
I got there and already saw Leah waiting for me. I opened the window and grinned at her, "Hey sexy!"
"Hey baby" She smirked.
I got out of the car and helped her put her suitcase into the car. We got into the car and immediately drove home.
"I'm tired of doing this" She mumbled and let herself fall onto the couch. I nodded and cuddled up next to her.
Soon it was time for bed and again and Leah and I were already laying in bed, talking about stuff.
I didn't know if I should tell her about Bens message or not. I mean, it's not like we're gonna end up having sex. But I probably should tell her about it...
Leah told me things about her work and what she's currently working on but I couldn't concentrate on what she was saying because I was constantly thinking if I should tell her or not. At some point I couldn't keep it to myself so I interrupted her, "Leah?" I said, making her look at me.
"Hmm?" She questioned.
"Uhm- Ben texted me and he asked me if I wanna come over next week, just as friends." I told her. Leah moved a bit a away from me and looked at me.
"Do you wanna meet him?" She asked me. I stayed quiet. "So you wanna meet him?" Leah arched her brow.
I knew that I maybe shouldn't have told her but I couldn't just stayed quiet. Maybe I'm not even gonna meet Ben.
"Leah I-" I said but she cut me off, "No." She said and sat up in the bed. "Its really nice of you that you told me but you really think that meeting Ben after whatt happened is a good a idea?"
"I did not say that I wanna meet him. I just thought about it..." I responded.
"Do whatever you want." She mumbled. "I wanna sleep now. Good night." Leah said and turned off the lights.
