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

Chapter 40: Paper Work & Phone Calls

Ivy's POV

"So who did you have lunch with?" Ben asked me while scribbling away on paper work he had spread out the coffee table.

I felt my chest tighten with nervousness as I barely got, "Harry" out of my mouth.

The room fell silent as Ben stopped writing and set his pen down.

What do I tell him? I mean it's not like anything happened, we just sat outside a public cafe and talked for a couple hours and finally managed to talk about everything, starting back when I was in high school.

"I thought we just sorted this out about how I feel about your ex's. Harry especially," he sighed.

"I didn't plan on having lunch with him. He talked to my father and found out I was here and then when I saw him at the cafe, we just talked. Nothing else; he didn't even try to make a move on me."

"Just because he didn't this time, doesn't mean he won't at one point."

"I don't see the big deal with me talking with him. It felt good to get all this anger I held towards him since high school lifted off my chest."

Ben remained silent as I slid off the couch and sat down on his lap.

"I'm yours, you know that."

He nodded and cuddled into me as he let a deep sigh fall from his lips.

"I don't want to argue with you about this baby. Just next time can you tell me when you're with him, or better yet have me come with you."

"I'm sorry I didn't tell you when I texted earlier. It just felt like something that needed to be said in person instead of over the phone."

He nodded and pecked my lips.

"Promise me you won't let him get inside you're head?" He asked with a pout on his lips.

"I promise," I gently smiled.

Ben went back to work as I laid my head down on his shoulder and his my face in the crook of his neck.

Maybe being in contact with Harry wasn't a good idea? What if Ben's right and Harry gets in my head? I couldn't stand hurting Ben in the process.

I really liked Ben, I might even love him. He's treated me like no other guy before. They've all only wanted me for one thing; sex, and sex alone.

My thoughts were broken by Ben's phone ringing.

"I'll be right back. I need to take this."

Ben gently slid me off his lap and grabbed his phone off the rug and walked into the next room as he hit the answer button.

The past few days he's been getting phone calls all day long and he never seems to want to answer them around me.

I quietly crawled across the room, careful not to make any floorboards squeak underneath me as I tried to listen in on his conversation.

"I've told you a million times Marissa that I don't want you calling me- ever," he spat into the phone.

Silence.

"Nothing has, nor will anything happen between us. I have a girlfriend whom I'm happily with. You stole my number from my phone when I was drunk."

Silence.

"If you call me again I will contact the authorities," he spat before hanging up.

Before he could walk back into the room, I quickly/quietly crawled over to the couch and started tapping away on my phone like I hadn't been eavesdropping in on his conversation.

"Who was that?" I glanced up from my phone.

"Just work," he chuckled. "Those stupid employed again. I'm considering replacing them all."

I hummed in agreement.

"I'm gonna go make some dinner for us. What sounds better? Fish & Chips or Chicken Alfredo?"

"Chicken Alfredo?"
"Sounds good," I smiled and stood up.

I pecked his lips before turning and walking into the kitchen.

How should I feel about that phone call? I though to myself and I began pulling all the needed ingredients out.

It's not like he's cheated on me or anything with this 'Marissa' girl. He just turned her down and told her that he has a girlfriend, so I guess I shouldn't think that hard into things.

I sighed to myself and connected my phone to the iDock station, clicking on my Pandora, and started on dinner.

Super excited!

Anyway, speaking of summer who all's done with school yet? I'm almost done (I'm finishing on Wednesday)
