At the Morgan's House.

Sunday...
This time it wasn't the alarm that awoken Ben, it was his father, he had come into the room calling his name and shaking him to wake up. When Ben was aware enough, his dad told him to get out of bed, dressed and up to the living room. He had company! He noticed that his dad stood in the doorway with the door open, waiting for him to come with him. Ben quickly dressed and followed his father to the living room where two men were sitting on two of the table chairs, along with his brother on the couch.
The two men stood and introduced themselves to Ben as Detectives; Johnson and Tally. Johnson stood about 5'9 and about two-hundred pounds. He had short dark hair, glasses and mustache. He wore a short-sleeve white shirt and black pants and shoes. Tally was a bit more chubby and stood about 5'5 and a thick mustache with a sky-blue short-sleeve shirt and dark blue pants and black shoes. They each showed Ben their Police badges and sat down.

The weight of a thousand tons came down onto Ben shoulders, he was scared, he slowly sat on another table chair that Ben's father just put there (it was across from the two Detectives). Everyone there was seated, the detectives asked Ben if he wanted to talk in private but his father rejected mostly on the fact that Ben is still a minor.
Ben also informed the detectives that he wouldn't hide this from his father anyways. One detective took out a recorder and the other a note pad.

Kelly came into the room and sat on one end of the couch with his front paws curled-in. He seemed to be listening to everyone talking and had what looked like lazy cat eyes. Perry was quiet, but he was clearly had the look of hiding a smirk.
“OK then, I'm Detective Johnson and detective Tally and we are investigating a report of a possible assault with a weapon, last night about 11pm at a beach party between Benjamin J. Morgan and Albert Norse”.
“We are at the home of Mr. Ben Morgan to talk to him about the events of the party... His father; Edward and brother Perry Morgan are also present”.

Ben took a big breath and let it out slowly and told his story. Two hours and what seemed like one-thousand questions later, the two detectives seemed satisfied. The Detectives informed Ben's father that so far, it looked like Ben was acting in self-defense but they still needed to check a few more statements from witnesses. Ben's father walked the Detectives to the back door, the Detectives gave Mr. Morgan a pair of contact cards, shook their hands, and asked to be informed on any final decision.
Ben just sat there in his seat, he was slightly shaking with his head down. His brother Perry moved nearer and watched his brother but didn't say anything. Normally, he would say something smart-ass or demeaning but he knew his brother, and knew he didn't have to. After the detectives left, Ben's father walked into the living room, looked at the clock and sat down for a moment.
Ben looked his father in the eyes.
“The Detectives said that you acted in self-defense...”
“Yes... it was... I just wished that... that I looked at that object... I didn't mean to hurt him!...”.
The room was quiet for several minutes, Ben and his dad looked at each other.
Then suddenly, Ben's dad picked up the phone and ordered two pizzas; one was Ben's favorite. About an hour-and-a-half later, Ben was down stairs lifting weights, pushing himself.

It was a bit unnerving that his dad or Perry didn't say a single word about the fight or the detectives being at the house. The three had sat there eating pizza and watched a movie on TV, they talked about everyday stuff! Then Ben went to work-out.

Ben had finished lifting weights and was now laying on the weights bench. He remained on  the bench with his eyes closed. The cat was sleeping on the mats over in the corner. Ben was listening to his Walkmen with headphones on. He was so relaxed, that he was starting to drift-off and didn't see the door open or a person entering the room (Kelly was suddenly alert and watchful). When Ben works-out he usually wears gym pants or shorts at the gym, but at home he doesn't wear a shirt, so he was bare chested. The person who entered, walked over to where he was laying and stood over him. He was listening to his and Liz's song, and remembering last night when they were both naked together in the ocean with their bodies pressed against each other. In his mind he pictured Liz, she was very hot, he was very lucky to have her as his girlfriend, and hoped someday be her husband.
He wasn't sure when he drifted off but, the surprise when he woke up was worth more than anything a guy can ask for. When he opened his eyes, he found Liz laying down on-top of him hugging him. He moved both arms around her and bent his head down to kiss her on the forehead. Liz let out a soft moan and snuggled her face into his chest. They both stayed that way for some time, it didn't bother Ben that much, but eventually his spine couldn't take to strain of the bench.
Using his strength, Ben sat completely up-right, but didn't let go of Liz. They both sat there, Liz moved both of her arms and legs around to Ben's back.
