My Heart Is Not A Game

Don't play with it

Jewel became nervous when she heard those four words. She sat down next to Ben on his bed.

Jewel: Talk about what?

Ben: Me and you. I like you a lot Jewel and I think we could have something together. I ignored you because I thought you didn't like me, but tonight your body language says everything. I'm putting it all out there baby. I'm not gonna wait until you're with someone else before I tell you how I feel.

Jewel sat there for a moment. She was completely speechless. Her mind was telling her to pretend like she didn't have any feelings for Ben, but her heart was telling her to see where it goes. It was time for her to start following her heart.

Jewel: Ok I like you too and I wanna see where this goes.

Ben let out a breath and smiled. He was relieved to hear that.

Ben: Hey you know you look like Riley from The Boondocks with those braids right?

Jewel: Boy you tried it. Riley is a g ok. You're sitting over there looking like Uncle Ruckus.

Ben: Ouch that hurt. Can I get a kiss since you hurt my feelings?

Jewel: No

Ben: Please Jay bae.

She couldn't resist so she puckered her lips and gave a peck on the lips. Ben frowned and shook his head.

Ben: No that wasn't enough.

This time Jewel gave him a long passionate kiss and he pulled her closer to him. Ben slipped his tongue in her mouth and they began fighting for dominance. Jewel pulled back when Ben slipped his hand up her shirt.

Ben: What's wrong Jay bae?

Jewel: We just got together and you're trying to hit.

Ben: My bad Jay. We can wait as long as you want. I'm just glad I have you.

Jewel tilted her head to the side and studied his face.

Jewel: I'm not having sex until I get married.

Ben: Ok that's fine, but I wanna know why. Girls say that all the time, but they don't have a reason.

Jewel: My granddad's a preacher, so I was brought up in the church. I was always told to wait until marriage. By staying abstinent I won't get pregnant or a STD. Most importantly, I want to give my husband a gift that no body else has ever had.

Ben wiped a fake tear and held his hand over his heart.

Ben: I'm so honored that you want to save yourself for me.

Jewel: What makes you think we're gonna get married?

Ben: I can see into the future babe.

Jewel laughed at his silliness.

Jewel: Whatever you say Ben 10.

Jewel grabbed Ben's large hands and looked into his eyes.

Jewel: I need you to know something. My heart is not a game, so don't play with it. I'm taking a chance with you.

Ben: I'm not gonna hurt you. I'm not like those other dudes Jewel. I care about you too much to hurt you. I promise.

Jewel held out her pinky.

Jewel: Pinky promise?

Ben laughed and looked pinky's with her.

Ben: Pinky promise.

Jewel and Ben spent the rest of the night enjoying each others company.
