Blank Pages: ON HOLD ~ Reylo AU

Chapter 22// Purple

"So what other stores do you want to go in?" Ben asked wrapping his hand in my mine.
"Probably Charlotte Russe." I say blushing as he wrapped his hand in mine.
"Oh I like that store." He says looking ahead as we walked in sync.
"What?" I ask laughing uncontrollably.
"Yeah. I've been in that store before. They have some nice clothes." He says smiling.
"Ok then let's go." I say yanking his arm.
We enter the store with some chill R&B music playing in the background.
The store was almost deserted. It was almost closing anyways so that's probably why.
"I'm going to look at some dresses. I'll be right back." I say walking to the dresses.
"Ok." Ben says walking over to some chairs and pulling out his phone.
I rummaged through the rack of clothes like a scavenger in the desert.
I found a couple of dress that looked amazing.
"I'm going to try these on. Do you want to sit outside?" I ask walking up to Ben.
"Yeah sure I'll come with you." He says shoving his phone back into his pocket.
"5." I say to the lady at the desk as she unlocked my dressing room and drew a big red 5 on a white board outside the door.
"5 Rey?!" Ben questioned.
"What they have nice clothes here. Like you said." I said teasingly.
I closed the door and pulled on the first dress. It had a floral pattern with a back cutout.
I loved back cutouts.
"Ok I'm coming out." I say smoothing over the dress.
"Ok I'm ready." Ben says loudly.
I open the door and step out.
Ben looks at me and smiles.
"I like this dress." I say twirling.
"I do too." He says chuckling.
"I'll try on the others." I say walking back into the dressing room and trying on another dress.
I put the floral dress on its hanger and put it on a hook that I labeled in my mind "Love it" and I labeled the other hook "Hate it."
The next dress was a long soft dress that touched the floor.
It had zigzags all over it and it made me dizzy.
"This ones trippy." I say stepping out the dressing room.
"Woah." Ben says turning his head away from the dress.
"Rey I love you and your body but this dress looks horrible." Ben says still looking away.
I roll my eyes and go back into the dressing room.
I tried 2 others but I liked neither. The last dress was a long silky dress. It was a dark burgundy and had embellishments on the chest area. It looked amazing.
"I love this one." I say walking out of the chainring room and spinning for Ben.
"Dayum." He says smiling.
"I love it!" I say jumping up and down.
Then Ben bites his lip and smirks.
"Like what you see?" I ask twirling the dress in my hand.
"Very." He says looking at the dress.
I laugh and walk back into the changing room.
I put back on my regular clothes for the second time today and grab the dresses. I wanted to get the burgundy dress really really bad.
It was 20 bucks. Not bad.
"I'm getting this one." I say putting the rest of the dresses on the rack next to the desk.
"Ok. That'll be 20 dollars." She says putting the dress into a bag and giving it to me. I hand her a 20 and walk out of the store with Ben by my side.
"Thanks for going on this shopping trip with me." I say smiling up at Ben awkwardly.
"Thanks for having me." Ben says laughing and pulling me into his lips. I peck his mouth and hug him as we made our way out.
We get to the car and it's locked.
"Hey can you unlock the car." I ask Ben.
"I can't find my keys." He says patting his pockets.
"It must be in one of the stores." He says groaning.
"I'll stay here. You can go get them." I say as be run backs in the mall.
I lean against the car and wait for Bens return. In the mean time I get out my phone.
Then I hear footsteps approaching me but I just ignore it because I THOUGHT it was some random person walking past me.
"Hey!" I hear someone shout at me.
I look up and see that chick Gabby.
"What?" I ask tilting my head in annoyance.
"You know Ben and I were the perfect couple." She says walking up to me.
"You WERE." I say giving attitude and this time on purpose.
"And you too will never be as perfect as we were." She says getting in my face.
"How about you take a few steps away and we talk about this like real women." I say stepping aside.
"Oh so now that you don't have your precious boy toy to protect you, your acting like you don't want to fight right now." She says following me around in a circle.
Then I see Ben step out of the doors from the mall out of the corner of my eye.
Then he walks over to me and Gabby and gets in between Gabby.
"Ben would you tell your girlfriend how amazing our sex was." Gabby says crossing her arms. She did NOT just say that to my face. She embarrassed me in front of a whole store and now my boyfriend?! Oh hell no.
I lurched forward a punched Gabby square in the face.
"Rey?!" Ben yells as Gabby falls to the floor knocked out cold.
"She'll live." I say walking to the car.
"Did you find your keys?" I ask trying the door.
"Yeah. Here." He says clicking the button on the keys.
I plop down on the seat of Kylo's car and look back at gabby who was laying on the cement of a mall parking lot. Probably how she would have ended up in life anyway.
Then Kylo's door opens up and he sits in his seat not saying a word.
"What are you mad about? She's not dead." I say crossing my arms.
Still no answer.
We drive out of the mall parking lot and got onto the highway to my house. Silence the whole time.
When we finally got to my house I opened the door with Ben following me in.
We go upstairs and enter my bedroom.
"Can you please tell me why your not talking to me?" I ask throwing my bag on my bed.
"So I can do this." He says smashing his lips into mine and kissing passionately.
He kisses me endlessly and then picks me up and placing me on top of my dresser.
He moves his lips from my lips to my neck.
When he moves his lips it tickles my skin and I let out a moan.
"Safety word is purple." He whispers.
"What?!" I ask pulling away quickly.
"Nothing."
