Forever & Always Him {Benjamin Lasnier}

Friends Help, too [20]

Jasmine C.

I woke up early that morning, I wasn't tired but rather thinking about my life. How all of this happened. How I left America, went to Denmark, fell in love with Benjamin, how I went back to America to pursue me being a singer, then now where I started drinking when I swore I wouldn't.

I sat up and grabbed my phone, calling the person I really needed to talk to.

"Jasmine?" Ariana's sleepy voice answered.

"I'm sorry, did I wake you?" I asked.

"It's okay, I'm at Tobias's," she answered shyly. A smile creeped up my face.

"Doing what?" I asked curiously, my smile widening.

I could imagine Ariana's tomato face right now. "Uh, nothing," she answered shyly.

"Mhmm," I giggled lightly.

"Oh, please, Jasmine, stop, your making Ariana embarrassed," Tobias said annoyingly over the phone. A small laugh escaped my lips.

"Whatever," I smiled. "Can I meet you guys at the coffee shop? Like all of you guys? For the whole day?"

"Why the sudden hangout?" Ariana asked. "Is there a problem?"

I sighed, playing with the blanket that draped over me. "I just missed you guys terribly," I answered. "Anyways, I don't know what to do in this house. Dad's working and my mom is going somewhere with her friends. Jovial is sleeping over Benjamin's."

Ariana sighed. "Sure, I'll call the guys. I won't promise that all of them will be there, but I'll try."

I let out a breath. "Thank you," I thanked her. "I'll talk to you later."

I took a hot bubble bath, relaxing at the warm water. There was a knock on the door. "Come in," I said as I covered my chest area with my legs.

The door opened and I saw Benjamin standing on the door way. I watched as his adam's apple bob up and down. I knew he's getting turned on the fact that I am naked, surrounded by thick and bubbly soap.

"Hey," I greeted him. "What are you doing here?"

"Um-uh," he gulped.

"Sit down," I nodded towards the chair. I completely renovated my room three days ago and cleaned my bathroom. It reminded me of my childish self and it looked ugly.

Benjamin sat on the chair and looked at me intently. "What do you need?" I asked.

"Uh, Ariana told me you wanted to go to the coffee shop with the group," he said. "I was just asking if you want me there."

I cocked my head at him and blinked. I frowned at him. "I thought I made it pretty clear I wanted to be with the group, and that includes you, Benjamin."

"But, you know, with this past events I really thought you'd just want to be with your friends," he stated.

My frown deepened. "Your my friend, well best friend," I announced. "And I know that so many things happened this past few months, but you were my best friend once, right?" I smiled softly at him.

"Okay," he grinned at me.

"Now, get out and I need to wrap myself up," I said. "Wait for me outside."

Benjamin nodded before going outside and closing the door. I gave out a big breath before getting out of the soak tub and wrapped myself with the towel that was set on the rack. Getting out of the bathroom, I saw Benjamin sitting down on my bed, a bored expression on his face as he looked down on his phone. I opened my closet and grabbed a simple shirt and some leggings, taking a bootie and a trench coat since it still is cold.
