Passion's Instinct

Forty Three

Hayden

Before I left to drop the kids off at school, there was a knock at the door. I opened it, and a thin figure stood there in front of me.

"Benjamin?" I said, surprised. "What are you doing here?"

"Do you know Natalie Portman? Someone said I could find her here."

"Uh... yeah. Why? Do you need her?" I asked suspiciously.

"Not at the moment, I just... well, never mind. Thank you."

"Yeah, sure..."

He walked away and got into his car, pulling out of the driveway.

I turned back around to get the kids the rest of the way ready for school. If he's out for my wife, he's gonna learn really soon that he doesn't mess with her... or me...

Natalie

"I know. Well, he let me sleep while he got the kids dressed and ready for school this morning."

"That's great," Scarlett said on the other line of the phone. She called me that morning because both of us were free to talk, for once.

"Right? And he even --" I heard the doorbell ring and sighed. "Hold on a second, Scarlett. Actually, you know what? I'll call you back in a few."

I hung up and walked over to the door, opening it to reveal a man I'd never seen before. He had dark hair and dark stubble on his face, and he stood across from me and smiled.

"Hi," I said, smiling back.

"Hi," he replied, a little too friendly. "Natalie Portman, right?"

"Yes," I replied slowly, shaking his outstretched hand. "And you are...?"

"Benjamin. Well, I was here to ask you if --"

"Do you have a last name?"

"Oh." He chuckled. "I'm sorry. Millipied. Benjamin Millipied."

My Haydalie shippers! What's up? So, dramatic and shocking chapter, I know, but there's more to come soon. Anyway (I almost typed Anakin there, whoops), I have been thinking about coming out with a new Haydalie fanfiction, about the two of them when they were teenagers. Sound good? I'd like some feedback on it to see if anyone would be interested in reading it. I'm so excited to see what you guys think: if I should write it or not. Comment or PM me what you think!
