Wild ♥︎ Book 2

Chapter 11

It was a lazy Saturday night. Ben had just gotten back to his dorm from the acting company and he'd gone to Papa John's to pick up a cheese pizza (because Rey was vegetarian). Hux wasn't answering his phone, Ben had called him once that day.

He opened the door, went in the door and locked it, yelling, "Rey, come help me with this pizza! My jazz shoes are taking up my hands!!"

Rey rushed in from the kitchen, taking the pizza from Ben's hands and looking up at him. "Ben!" She whisper-shouted. "Shush, people are sleeping."

"At nine o'clock on a Saturday night? Please." Ben snorted. "Maybe we should find a party to go to sometime."

"Like either of us have the time. Especially you, Ben. We just got lucky tonight." Rey went into the kitchen, talking to Ben still. "Also, there's a Harry Potter marathon tonight. We should watch it."

"Yeah, maybe. I'm getting slightly tired of Game of Thrones." Ben threw his jazz shoes in the corner and lay on his bed. "It's not the same without Brendol."

Rey emerged from the kitchen, carrying two plates with one slice of pizza on them each. She handed one to Ben and squirted ranch out of a packet onto his plate and hers. "Don't worry, Benny," She said. She tore off a piece of pizza. "Hey, you'll see him in fall break. Three more weeks man."

Ben nodded and ate his pizza. Rey turned the TV on and turned the channel to ABC Freeform. Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban was on.

Five minutes into the movie, Ben suddenly remembered that he needed to charge his phone. As he pulled his iPhone out of his pocket it started to buzz. He checked to caller to see that it was Han.

Ben answered the call and turned to Rey. "It's my dad," He said. "He probably wants to speak to you, too, actually. Imma put it on speaker."

Rey nodded. Ben put the phone on speaker and Han's confused voice came out of the phone. "Hello? Ben, you there?"

"Yeah, Dad, I'm here." Ben placed the phone on the bed in the space between him and Rey. "Rey's here, too, we're watching a movie because we both have free time right now. You're on speakerphone, by the way."

"Hey, Uncle Han!" Rey said into the phone. She kept her eyes on the TV.

"Hey, Rey. That's good that I'm on speaker, because I have something I need to tell the both of you."

"Ooh, what is it?" Rey asked curiously.

"Well, here's the thing, kids. You know the aerodynamics museum I have on the east coast, right? Well, I don't own it but I used to be the CEO?"

"Yeah, I know the one!" Rey said excitedly.

"You always talk about it..." Ben groaned, making Rey giggle.

"You have the Falcon there, right?"

"Ah, yes." Han said, sighing. Ben swore he could hear Han doing his old man nod of pride though the phone. "The Millennium Falcon. She's a real beauty."

"Here we go." Ben said.

"You know, back in the days, I swear I traveled everywhere just on that jet? Best years of my life. You know Ben, I met your mother when your uncle-"

"Daaaaaaddd." Ben groaned. "Oh my god."

"Alright, alright. I get it, you're probably tired of hearing that story."
