The next day I walked into the cafeteria, I looked for Ben & couldn't see him. Then suddenly someone tapped me on the shoulder & whispered to me.
" Looking for someone"
I turned around to see Ben.
" Oh no just a table to sit at." I said making it seem casual.
Ben nodded his head & chuckled.
" Well why don't we eat lunch together?" Ben said guiding me to an empty table at the back of the cafeteria.
I sat across from him & took a bite of my Caesar salad. It was decent for cafeteria food.
"The food here could be better." Ben said laughing.
"I guess so" I replied.
We tried to finish our lunch then ended up going to Subway. Ben seemed like a really nice guy, I hoped we could hangout alot. & he was pretty cute, I guess.
"So how many tattoos do you have?" Ben asked.
I smiled. " Uh well I have a whole sleeve, a small one on my wrist, & my side." I stated.
I rolled up my sleeve to show Ben, he eyed them. His expression looked like he liked them.
" Nice! They aren't normal girl tattoos" Ben said laughing.
" How about you?" I asked.
" I would but I'd have to take my shirt off..." Ben said.
We laughed.
It was college & I hadn't been with someone for what seemed like forever so I just went out & said it.
" Do you wanna maybe hangout some other time?" I asked nervously.
" Yeah! For sure, definitely! Here's my number." Ben said as he put his cellphone number in my contacts.
I smiled.We finished our sandwichs. We returned to school for our last classes.
The next day Ben texted me that he wanted to hangout after school. I texted him back saying yes & texted him my dorm number.
Later on after classes I hopped into the shower, the water was warm & made my tattoos shine. I was ready to go, I walked out of the washroom & saw Ben sitting on my bed.
" You didn't tell me you had someone coming over?" Naomi said teasing me with a friendly smirk a older sister may give you.
Ben stood up & smiled at me. I blushed.
"Ready to go?" He asked.
"Yeah." I said walking towards him as he held open the door.
We went to a movie at park. He'd brought food,champagne and blankets. We sat fro hours after talking about ourselves just getting to know eachother. The night grew colder & I started to shiver. Ben placed a blanket onto my shoulders to shield me from the coldness & the wind.
