a/n- this is so short and rubbish, I'm so sorry.

14th September 2022

Sofia and Ben were leaving for a casual day date which they think they needed after they hadn't had much time for each other since Bambi was born.

Even though they had to take her with them, they would still relax on their little date.

"Sorry I was taking a picture for my story!" She giggled before replying to a few people including Ben.

"You replied to my reply by message and didn't just say it?" Ben was looked at Sofia confused but soon gets it turned back on him.

"Why did you reply to my story by message and not by speech?" Sofia smirked as she knew that got him and laughed whilst she got into the car and Ben clicked Bambis car seat in. "Got you."

"Oh shush." They sat there in silence whilst messaging their responses to each other before they set off to the cafe.

They decided on a small cute date, which was comfy, wasn't too loud for the baby but also classed as a date.

And Ben knew the perfect place.

The same cafe that they had their first semi date at after he little sisters wedding.

"Oh my, I love this place." Sofia smiled as they walked in and got the same booth that they did the last time they were here.

They ordered the same things and it was like they had travelled to the past.

Ben had a match today so Sofia and Bambi were watching it from home as the stadium is too loud for a new born - especially during a champions league game.

Ben wanted her there but she couldn't be as she needed to be with Bambi which made him slightly annoyed but he soon got over it.

Sofia felt bad but she knew they was nothing that she could do. 

It had been like this for the past few days, something would be said then it would be awkward until the topic was changed.

She thought that it would stop after their date which they both really enjoyed this morning but apparently not.

Bens match started at 8pm so Bambi was fast asleep before it even started.

It had ended about half an hour ago but Ben didn't play for the entire match and he was on the substitute bench for the entire time so Sofia knew that he was going to be slightly agitated.

A few moments later, Ben comes bursting through Sofia's door with a little temper but Sofia takes a deep breath and ignores it.

"Hey, are you ok?" Sofia asks him in a soothing way but Ben doesn't appreciate it.

"Am I fucking ok?! What a stupid question!" Sofia was shocked by Bens tone.

"Alright I was just asking." She tried to walk away but Ben just followed her.

"So your not even going to ask?"

"Tell me Ben. What's wrong?" She said it almost sarcastically as she already asked if he was on and got shouted at by him.

"I was promised time on pitch but I didn't get any." Ben raises his voice at her which startles her so she takes a step back a little for him.

"That's not my fault so don't take it out on me." Sofia was quite scared at this point so she took a few more steps back.

"I'm strong enough to play so why didn't he let me?" All Ben wanted to do was breakdown but society wouldn't let him.

"I don't know but it's ok, there's other games." Sofia took a few steps towards him as he seemed to calm down.

"Other games?! This was the champions league!"

"It's not like it was the fucking final Ben!" She was sick of being shouted at so she shouted right back.

"You know what? You such a slag, go pay attention to your rapists baby." Ben regretted saying it as soon as he did but that wouldn't change that he did.

Sofia pretended not to be hurt but she was, it was impossible not to be.

"Was I just an easy fuck to you? The helpless pregnant neighbour." In that moment Bambi starts crying to get her attention so she turns around and sighs. "I gotta go, don't let the door hit you on the way out."

Was this the end for Ben and Sofia?
