STRANGE [ben chilwell]

1st March 2022
--

Sofia was waiting for her sister to get to the back of the church from the hotel everyone was staying.

As she saw the car pull up, she grabbed the bouquet of flowers from the side so she was ready to hand them to her.

She watched as she approached with their mum linked to her arm.

Their dad abandoned them when her little sister was born and they were glad because they became so close without him.

"Wow, you look beautiful baby sister." Sofia says as she laughs and hands her the bouquet ready for her to walk down the isle.

"You do not look 7 months pregnant what so ever." She chuckles before gesturing to the priest so he can tell everyone to stand.

The whole ceremony Ben stares at Sofia from the pew where he was sat.

She was also sat but not at a pew, they had given her a stool to sit on so she could stay with the bridesmaids but she could sit down so she didn't get exhausted.

The ceremony was beautiful but Ben didn't care about that. All his attention, the entire time, was on Sofia making sure that she was ok.

With how much he looked at her, you'd think hey actually were boyfriend and girlfriend. They had only known each other for 3 weeks, he already knew that he was falling for her and fast.

When Sofia's sister told her about the wedding, she had no clue that she was going to be there with a fake boyfriend who she's only known for a number of week.

She felt different when she looked at Ben, she would get butterflies in her stomach to the point where she'd feel dizzy with love.

It was now time for Sofias speech at the dinner and she was a nervous wreck.

"If you told me that my little baby sister would be getting married before me, I'd say your being ridiculous but here we are. When she came to me and told me about her first date with him, I knew that they are meant to be because of how happy he makes her. She was smitten from the moment they began to talk. Even before they were together they just clicked and you could tell. Everyone could." Sofia took a break looked at the couple and her eyes lay on Ben and stayed there whilst she said the next bit. "They made each other happy from the moment they met and that's when they began to fall in love." She paused for a moment and just stared at Ben whilst he would look back into her eyes. "Good luck you too."

Everyone started to cheer before the dj started to play some songs for people to dance to.

"Thank you sissy." She wrapped her arms around her neck and held her in a tight embrace.

"Anything for my baby sister." She smirks as she knows she hates being called a baby.

"You love him don't you?" She smirks as they sit down at the table.

"Who?"

"Your boyfriend." Sofia forget for a second so it took her a minute to figure it out and then she remembered the deal Ben and her had.

"I don't know yet, why?" She wasn't actually his girlfriend so she didn't know what to say.

"You definitely do because the end of the speech when you were talking about making each other happy, you were staring at him. Into his eyes and you weren't looking away." She blushed as she looks down at her hands.

"Maybe I do."

"Well he wants to dance." She points at Ben who is standing behind her waiting for them to be done with their conversation.

"Would you dance with me?" She giggles whilst nodding her head and taking his hand.

They dance to the slow songs until an upbeat one comes on when she turns around and rests in his arms.

"Are you ok?"

"Mhm, just tired." Ben holds her in his arms as they dance.

She sways her hips along with the music which makes Ben groan in her ear.

"Stop doing that." Ben warns as she chuckles as pulls away from him.

In that moment, Ben can't help himself so he pulls her close to him and presses his lips against hers.

"Let's get out of here. Your tired and it's late." She agrees with him and lets her family now before they leave and end up in a little cafe.

"Your sister told me your middle name." Ben had been trying to get it out of her as they got closer but Sofia didn't want to tel him as she hates it.

"She did not!" Ben nods his head as the waitress gives them a milkshake that they ordered.

"She did. Sofia..." He paused for a dramatic effect but she knew he was about to say the name she hated. "...Josephine Brown."

"Nooooo, it's not even funny. I hate it so much." She throws a chip at him to shut him up which he catches in her mouth.

He just laughs at her reaction but she doesn't find it funny.

"It's cute." She pulls her face and shakes her head at him.

"Thanks for coming with me tonight and thank you for faking it." She smiles at him as she takes a sip from the milkshake.

"Who said I was faking?"
