He lost everything that mattered to him with one simple fire . He lost the things that made him complete ...
She started working at her favorite comic book company , as an assistant, fetching coffee and copying papers ...
He asks her something big...
He woke up before her , she was asleep still , her bun had fallen and was now loose around her . Her shirt had ridden up to above her belly button.
He saw that she was on his side , slightly curled to him . He smiled at her then their was a knock at the door .
He closed the door to the bedroom and walked to their door . "Hello?" He asked .
"Jessika told us she needs a glam team so she brought us together ... Now let go !" The lady said with a few people behind her .
He let them in "let me wake her up" Ben said .
"Hurry we haven't got all day!" She said .
Ben walked to the bedroom and saw her cuddled into his pillow . He smiled and sat down on the edge and moved some hair out of her face . "Rey " he said shaking her softly . "Rey , come on wake up"
She yawned and made some noises . "What time is it?"
"7:45... Our breakfast meeting is in an hour and half ... Your Kim K. team is here" he said.
"No" she grumbled and turned her back into the pillow . Ben chuckled then pulled the covers off her .
"Let's go now or I'll throw a bucket of cold water on you" he said .
She flipped him off then got up. "They're all there... In the living room ... " he said .
She nodded with a yawn and then walked to the living . He sat alone in the bedroom and opened his laptop to check his emails. More flew in from magazines, asking about Rey .

By the time they had finished her hair and makeup , she barely had enough time to get dressed .
"Ready?" He asked knocking on the bathroom door .
"Yeah" she stepped out and walked past him to grab her bag. He looked at her quickly , she wore a light pink blouse with buttons , a longer black silk tea skirt , a black leather belt wrapped around her waist , and tall nudish pink heels that made her at least 6 inches taller , but she was still so small compared to him.
They had her hair in bun atop her head , soft makeup and a rose pink lipstick . She wore a pair of pearl earrings, and her diamond ring .
"Ready?" She asked him .
"Oh ... Yeah" he said and straightened his tie and then they walked out .
They rode the elevator down quietly . "So ... Who are we meeting with exactly ?" Rey asked him .
"The manger of the west coast branch of the Skywalker-Solo comics... His name is Edward Kelly ... An older gentleman, he's pretty chill so nothing to worry about"
"And what am I doing the whole time?" She asked as they walked to the car .
"Just staying engaged in the conversation" he told her .

"Ben!" An older man said when Rey and Ben walked in the restaurant.
"Ed !" Ben said and hugged the older man.
"Boy , haven't you've grown ! What ... Six inches since I've last seen you" Ed asked .
"You saw me six months ago Ed" Ben chuckled .
"Well... Maybe I'm just shrinking ... Who's this lovey lass ?" He asked .
"Oh ! Ben meet my fiancé slash assistant Rey Kenobi" Ben introduced her .
"It's nice to meet you" Rey said putting her hand out for a shake , instead Ed pulled her in for a hug .
They began to eat and talk. "Do you like Los Angles ?" Ed asked Rey.
"It's pretty ... Much warmer ... More relaxed than New York ... It's not all busy like New York but still has good amount of business " she said .
"Perfect place to raise a baby , start a family ?" Ed asked looking at Ben .
"Ed we've talked about this" Ben replied cutting his omelette.
"What have you talked about ?" Rey asked turning to Ben .
"Ed thinks that we should move our headquarters down to Los Angeles ..." Ben said
"It is a nice place , center of the entertainment world ... Many creative artists ... And the perfect place to raise children ... I should know I've raised 7 here" Ed told them.
"Ed , Rey and I haven't even tied the knot yet , let alone talk about the place where gonna raise our child ... And we were thinking New York ... My family's there and the company's there -"
"Where's your family Rey?" Ed asked .
"Texas" she told him .
"Texas and California are the same , warm and have plenty of large space to have a backyard for kids ... Speaking of which how many are you two thinking about ?"
"Ben and I decided to have just one for now until we see how we handle things " Rey said for the both of them .
-A.N.- I NEED A NAP ! I've been walking around with my brother's girlfriend all day at the mall trying to induce labor , we want the baby out soon before school starts for me and my younger siblings.
