Scarlett Rodriguez:

"I - sorry" hayes says giving me a somewhat sympathetic look " oh, no don't worry. it's fine" I assure him

"Why did you guys break up?" He asks "if it's okay to ask!" He quickly says

"It's fine" I chuckle "but because it just didn't feel right, to be with him you know" I answer truthfully

Nate was great, he was beyond great. He's everything a girl wants, he - he just wasn't for me

he wasn't the one

"I see" is all he says and we stay in silence for a little "so what do you say" I say reminding him about the offer I made him earlier to move back in - permanently this time

"I would love to" he smiles, I return the smile getting up as he does the same pulling me into a hug

I've missed him, his annoying ass strolling around the kitchen, lounging around the couch, his scent, his dorky side when playing with alanis, and everything about him and just well - him.

I close my eyes as we hug taking in the moment.

"I'll see you at the house?" I mumble into his chest, I could hear his heart thump as his chest rises.

"Yes you will" he chuckles making his chest vibrate.

We part from the hug and I look up at him once more smiling and heading out back to my car to head home.

I listen to 'In my veins by Andrew belle' reminding me of the old high school Hayes and I.

"Dude, you're like a dork you know that" I snort making me laugh even harder

"Yeah I'm the dork" he laugh emphasizing the I'm

"Yes you are! but like you're my dork" I say going up to him and pinching his cheek before kissing his soft, plum lips.

"That was cheesy" I mumble against his lips making him smile before nodding

"It's okay though because I like cheesy" he shrugs as we pull apart and he wraps his arms around my waist

I look up at him and smile "I'm lucky to have you, you know that right Benjamin" he frowns and rolls his eyes

"Don't call me that" he groans "but you're the best thing that's happened to me, you know that?"

I nod in response, like I already know that making him laugh. He places a kiss on my forehead before fully hugging me.

"I know we still have a couple more years to go until this happens but I hope I have a wonderful family and I hope that's with you Scarlett Rodriguez"

I smile back at the thought of us, of our family, in which he once wished we would have.

even though everything changed and things went a different direction, it doesn't mean we can't have our little family.

I don't know if I'm right, but if I am - I'm falling for Benjamin Hayes Grier once again.
