The billionaires best friend

Chapter five

Ben's PoV

"Wake up Ben" what the fuck, I feel like I've only been asleep ten minutes. "Huh, what do you want I'm tired and sore" I mumble "I'm sorry love but I need you to wake up for ten minutes and be quiet ok" I now recognise Darius' voice. I sit up and whisper "what's going on Dar? " "come with me please" deciding not to ask anymore questions I get up and follow him quietly. We go downstairs and he hands me my coat "put this on and meet me at my car, be careful of your wrist and ribs ok" he pecks me on the lips and I'm stunned. He laughs "you'll have to get used to that love, now quick as you can let's get a move on" he's confusing the life out of me but its kinda fun playing along.

I do as he asks and after using my key to lock the door silently I meet him by the car. We get in and he takes off, once we get away from my house he pulls over. He reaches in the back and takes out a pillow and blanket. He fixes them for me and reclines my seat "sleep love we have a bit of a drive ahead so you sleep, I'll drive and once we get there I'll wake you ok" with another kiss on my lips he drives again. Exhausted from the pain meds I don't even question where we're going I just dose off. Groggily I feel arms wrap around me and I'm being lifted, I feel myself being placed on a bed. Sleep over takes me again and I willingly let it.

I feel arms around me and I'm confused at first but Darius' sexy morning voice soon brings me back to reality "morning beautiful, did you sleep ok?" Now that the haze of the pain meds has worn off I want answers but on the other hand this is like all my fantasies come to life. I just woke up in my loves arms. I look up at him and he's so fucking gorgeous that I can't help but stare at him. He just looks back at me as a slow sexy smile comes across his face "Jesus Ben I love you" that breaks me out of my love bound spell.

I push myself up so I'm sitting next to him against the headboard "what the heck Darius, first off why did you take me away in the middle of the night. Next where the heck are we, also what the hell is going on since when did you start this loving me, kissing me and calling me pet names stuff. I'm very confused." He sits up slowly and tries to take my hand but I pull away, I need answers and if he touches me I'll just melt.

"I'm sorry Ben. I'm so fucking sorry, I know I've hurt you by distancing myself from you and seeing those fucking idiot boys. I fell in love with you when you were fifteen, I was twenty two and there was fuck all I could do about it. I could stand to be around you and not touch you, every time I saw you. I wanted to take you into my arms and kiss you senseless but I knew you needed to grow up and live without the pressure of being in a relationship and puberty at the same time. I started seeing-" "fucking" I mumble across him. "What?" He asks.

"I said fucking, you weren't seeing them, you were fucking them, be honest" he looks hurt by my words but I won't take them back it's the truth. "Oh Ben I'm so sorry but your right, I was fucking them and I was using them to try and convince myself I could get over you. You hated me so much and I loved you so much but I understand why you hated me now. I didn't think you loved me back I was so blind to it and then you started seeing-" "don't say his fucking name" I growl out. "I won't babe, you started seeing him and I was sure I'd never have you as mine. So I used work and fucking as a distraction but it didn't stop me loving you. Rick rang me yesterday to complain about him and I just had enough of him treating you so badly that I went straight to your house and told them I loved you and I was going to try win your heart away from him" I'm shocked and I don't know what to say.

"What do you want me to say, you've broken my heart repeatedly for four years. You ran off to college and left a hole in my heart that nothing or no one else could ever fill. I missed you so much I began to get angry but then you brought Reece, that was his name do you even remember that. The first of a long line of heartbreaking, gorgeous, twinks was called Reece, anyway you brought him to my fucking sixteenth birthday barbecue and I spent the night wishing it was me you were hugging and kissing in front of everyone. I hated you for that but I loved you so much at the same time. You think you saved me the hassle of a relationship and puberty but instead I had heartache and puberty. I knew I'd never measure up to those beautiful men and it hurt"

He pulls me down onto his chest and I don't fight it because I'm happy to have finally said the words out loud. He knows now and I'm glad. He needs to see how hurt I was. "Can you ever forgive me babe, I was with them but wishing it was you. That day your talking about was one of the worst days of my life, you phoned me so happy and cheerful that I wanted to say fuck it to everyone and come to your house to confess my feelings but then you told me that Rick got you that trip to Italy and it stopped me in my tracks. I cried after you hung up, it wasn't fair, I wanted to be happy with you but I had to settle for being happy for you. You were young you deserved to travel the world and be young. I never got that chance so I wanted it for you. Reece, and no I didn't remember his name, was coming onto me in college all the time and I decided I was sick of being miserable so when I left for your party and he approached me yet again, I caved thinking he would distract me from the hurt just for a little while at least."

He looks so upset that I realise it was both of us that was hurting for the last few years "don't be sad Dar, I've loved you since I was twelve. I've never stopped, sure I was mad at you, I wanted to hate you and I was hurt but your the only person who's ever held my heart. You have some work to do for me to fully forgive you I won't lie but I'm willing to try make this work if you are" I say looking up into his beautiful eyes.

"Thank you, I won't fuck this up. I hated how much you disliked me, I never want to be there again. By the way, we are at my beach house, I saw how uncomfortable you were with everyone fussing over you so I got Billy my assistant to clear my week and I left a note for the others. We are staying all week alone and I'm going to take care of you. I might get an earful from your brothers but they know how I feel about you so they might not be too mad. Well Rick will because your hurt and he thinks he's the only one who can take care of you properly" we both laugh at that knowing it's true.
