Heartbreak Girl (H.S) (New Girl Sequel)

Chapter 38: Whiskey & Strawberries

Ivy's POV

Fat hot tears poured down my cheeks as I curled up on the couch.

When I finally made it back to Ben's place, I found that he didn't come home. He won't answer my calls or texts, so I have no idea where he is and if he's alright.

He had no right to yell at me like that and then just run off for several hours.

How are we suppose to work as a couple if he can't let go of my past. That's just it; it's my past, not his.

I could understand being jealous/hurt by knowing that the person you're with has been with a lot of people before you, but I'm not like that anymore.

Once again, I unlocked my phone and pulled my text messages I had sent to Ben.

-Where are you?-
-please just tell me if you're alright-
-you're really worrying me Ben-
-Call me!-

All of them were ignored as if he hadn't seen any of them, even through I had a feeling he saw them.

Just as I was about to start crying into my sweater again, the front door opened and in walked Ben. His eyes are puffy and red like he had been crying.

"Ivy, you have no idea how sorry I am-"
He began but I cut him off by running and jumping into his arms.

I quietly sobbed into the crook of his neck as he me up.

"I hated fighting with you like that," he sighed into my neck.

"Me too," I sniffled and slid down off his waist. "That's the worst fight we're ever had."

That's when I noticed he reeked with the smell of whiskey and smoke.

"Promise me you won't bring up my past like that again. It fucking hurt like hell," I sniffled.

"I promise, as long as you promise never to leave me. We can't run from each other when we fight. We need to sit and talk through our problems," he frowned.

"Agreed," I dried my eyes with my sweater and nodded.

Ben placed both his hands on my waist and gently kissed my lips. I instantly melted into the kiss and kissed back. His lips were and odd combination of whiskey and strawberries.

"Let's go to bed?" He suggested. "We've had a long day."

I woke up to find myself naked and alone in Ben's bed. Our clothes from last night were no longer scattered all over the bedroom floor.

I plopped back in the pillows and rolled over to his side. There was an odd crunch sound underneath me.

Once again, I sat up and found a note.

-hey baby

went to work, didn't want to wake you up after we were up all night ;) i should be home by at least 5.

love you, Ben-

I crumpled the crisp white paper and tossed it over at the waist basket before once again flopping down into the pillows.

I hummed softly to the radio as I stirred the vegetables and chicken that were frying in the skillet.

"Give it to me I'm worth it," I sang along to Fifth Harmony.

I'll admit, before their new album I wasn't a big fan of their music but between Bo$$ and Worth It, I was obsessed with their new album.

"I'm gonna miss this when you go back to London," Ben suddenly spoke out of nowhere.

I jumped with fright, nearly knocking the hot skillet off the stove.

Ben chuckled as he set his coat and briefcase down on the counter and walked to wrap his arms around me from behind.

"I was sad to wake up and find you were gone," I pouted as I stirred the food and seasoned it.

Ben hummed into my neck and slowly placed hot kisses on the right side of my neck.

"Trust me, I didn't want to leave a very sexy and naked Ivy in my bed. It was very painful to drag myself out of bed this morning," he grinned.

"It sounds like you have a bad case of being horny," I grinned.

"You try having to leave your partner naked in bed and go work for several hours with a bunch of bloody idiots."

I hummed and continued stirring the pan of food.

"Well maybe after we eat, we could take a super hot bubble bath and then I could give you the best massage you've ever had," I suggested to him with a smirk on my face.

Ben gripped my waist even tighter, "Sounds fantastic."

I know this was kinda short and sucky but I couldn't leave you guys hanging with the Ivy/Ben drama.

Which reminds me, does anybody have a ship name for Ivy + Ben? The best I could come up with was Bey. Let me know if you can think of anything better.
