Across my memory | Ben Beast

chapter nineteen - butterfly

Ben lead an oblivious Ana, who had her eyes closed.

She gripped his hands tight, not wanting to trip and fall.

"I swear if you lead me to a stupid ditch again-"

Ben laughed, shaking his head. "I did not led you to a ditch! You walked on your own-"

Ana huffed, walking slowly. "No, I didn't! You let go of my hands and led me to it!"

"No, I didn't!" Ben laughed harder. "I told you to wait a second, you were too excited to wait for me."

Ana grumbled in annoyance. "Whatever." She refused to admit he was right.

Ben chuckled, before looking down. "Okay, watch your foot..." He warned, holding her hands tightly, leading her. "You good?"

She nodded. "Mm-hmm... Yes, all good."

"Now step up-There you go."

Ben held her in front of him, her back pressing to his chest. "You ready?" He asked, softly, running his fingers on her arm.

Ana hummed in response, excited to see.

Ben smiled before saying. "You can open your eyes now."

The moment Ana opened her eyes, she couldn't control the gasp that escaped her lips at the sight.

Right there in the middle of a broken pavilion, was a picnic. It was surrounded by flowers, trees and a sparking lake on the side.

Birds chirped as they played on top of a broken pillar, Ana never seen anything so beautiful.

"Ben..." She breathed out in awe. "It's amazing!" She exclaimed and turned to look at Ben, looking at her with so much love. "You did this for me?" She asked, getting teary eyed.

Ben chuckled, kissing her forehead. "I would do anything for you..."

"Come on!" Ana giggled, yes giggled, pulling Ben to the pavilion.

They both came and sat down on the picnic blanket with a basket beside them. Ben took off his jacket while Ana took hers off.

She was busy staring at her surrounding while her prince stared at her.

Noticing it, she blushed. "Why are you staring like that?" She chuckled, shyly.

Ben shook his head, smiling at her. "Nothing... just staring at my beautiful girlfriend." He said cheekily, opening the basket and brought out some fruits and treats.

"Are we?"

Ben stopped and looked at her confused. "Are we what?"

Ana rolled her eyes, laughing lightly. "I mean, do we even call ourselves that- boyfriend and girlfriend?" She teased, but stopped when she noticed the look on his face. "Wh-what I meant was, you-you didn't really a-ask me y'know-"

"Would you be mine?"

Ana looked at him with wide eyes. "Sorry?"

Ben looked at her seriously. "I meant what I said, I love you... would you be mine?"

Ana felt her heart stop, she felt like she couldn't breathe staring into his hazel eyes.

"Yes, I'll be yours." She said, softly.

The two smiled as they stared at each other with love, then a butterfly landed on Ana's nose causing her to shriek in fright.

The poor bug flew away, scared and so was the redhead, who flung her arms around.
