I Never Planned On You

7- Uh-Oh

Ben's POV:

"Okay, I love you too. Bye!" I heard Andrea say into the phone in the other room. I wonder who she's talking to.

She walks out of the room.

"Oh, hey, Ben!" She walks over to me.

"Hey! Who were you talking to?" I don't mean to pry, but I'm curious about the happenings of my crush.

Yes. I have a crush on Andrea. We've known each other for almost 2 months, and I think I know her well enough to have a crush on her.

"Oh, nobody." she smiled a little bit.

I raise my eyebrows, not convinced.
"I know you're lying to me, Andie." I smile, "Who were ya talkin to?"

"Just a good friend from home." She sounded more convincing this time.

"Okay, if you say so."

"I'm telling the truth!"

We're at the theatre, about to head to our opening party. Everyone left already, but I was in charge of making sure Andrea got to the restaurant in one piece. Andrea had been on the phone for about ten minutes, but I couldn't really hear what she was saying because I was a little too far away.

"Whatever," I smiled, "We have to get going or else we're gonna be really late to the party."

"Let's go, then!" She took off for the stage door.
I followed behind her and I finally caught up to her.

Andrea's POV:

I love this cast so much. They've all been so welcoming and nice, I feel like I'm really a part of their little family.

"Andie!" Jeff shouts over the music.
We rented out a restaurant for just us, so it's a little crazy up in here- we have music blaring through the speakers, we've moved the tables to make a dance floor. It's crazy.
"Come dance with me!" Jeff said, grabbing my hand, pulling me onto the 'dance floor'.
We start dancing like crazy people. Even though I'm sober, Jeff is definitely not sober.

After a while I start to get tired so I call in someone to take over for me, "Melissa!" I yell, she looks at me, "Come dance with your husband!" I say as she gets closer.

Soon I am relieved of my dancing duties, so now I can just chill for a little bit.
Or so I thought.

"Hey, Andie, can we talk for a sec?" Ben says as he stands next to my chair.
Uh-Oh.

"Um, yeah sure." I said, standing up.

He starts walking out of the doors of the restaurant.

"Ben, where are you going?"

"Just come on!" He said, turning around.

I followed him outside and he took me over to one of he benches outside of the restaurant.

"Sooooo," I start, "What did you want to talk about?"

"Well, there's something that I really have to get off of my chest." He sighed.

"Please don't tell me you killed someone." I laughed.

He laughed before saying, "No, I didn't kill anybody...But, I like you."

"What?" I reply, shocked.

"I like you," He repeated, "A lot."

"Ben, we would never work out." I admit.

"Why not? Why wouldn't we work out?" He pushes.

"Because we just wouldn't, okay?" I insist.

"Andrea, I see the way you look at me. Don't tell me there aren't feelings between us."

"Okay, fine. Do you want to know why we can't be together?"

"Yeah, I do! I don't see why we can't be together! I think you like me, and I like you, so why not! It doesn't make sen-" I cut him off.

"I have a boyfriend!"
