Hermosa [Ben Simmons]

Cinco.

"Okay, now try to pronounce it correctly,"

"Tortuga"

"You're pronouncing the u wrong," I corrected him. We have been sitting in the library for almost 45 minutes, trying to pronounce some words correctly. He did learn to say some words right and he learned some sentences. He was actually coöperation pretty well, which I honestly didn't expect at all.

"Gosh, why am I even trying to say turtle in Spanish?" Ben said as a small laugh escaped my lips.

"Doesn't matter which word it is, Ben. Important is the pronounciation" I pointed out as I grabbed a pen and started to play with it.

"Yeah, yeah" he sighed as he let his head rest in his hand. "I prefer that you speak Spanish though, it's kinda hot"

I raised my eyebrows as I looked at him through the corner of my eye. "Stay focused, please"

"You doing anything tonight?" He went further.

"Yes," I answered shortly. "Helping you with Spanish since we won't get anywhere like this,"

"C'mon Isa, don't be so boring" he said as he moved his chair a little closer to me.

"Isa?" I said surprised as I turned more towards him. "You giving me a nickname now?"

"Yea, heard your little brother call you that" he smiled as his eyes twinkled slightly in the bright light of the library. "But seriously, you free?"

"Yeah," I gave in as I was kind of curious why he wanted to know. He smirked slightly as he put both his forearms on the table while leaning on it, giving me quite a view of his muscles through his t-shirt.

"I can't go out, though, if you wanted to ask that" I quickly added as I tried to stay focused on his eyes.

His smirk grew, "I'm sure you can, only for a couple hours"

I bit my lip and thought about it, I couldn't let Jarno alone the whole night, but a couple hours wouldn't be a problem. It has happened before that he stayed home alone, he just watches tv or something. I just never feel comfortable with it, you know.

"What do you have in mind?" I asked as I shyly rubbed my left arm.

"If you want to, we could just chill at my house or something. I don't know, at yours is also aight" he said as he licked his lips swiftly.

"I'm afraid the answer is still no," I replied as I noticed Steve strolling through the library, obviously searching for my face. Soon his eyes landed on me and Ben and in no time he stood by our side.

"Hey," he said while dragging the e. He glanced between me and Ben, who just smiled politely at him.

"You gonna be here for much longer, or not?" He asked me while looking at the Spanish books.

"I don't think so.." I said a bit unsure as I glanced at Ben, who was already looking at me.

"Good, cause we need to be ready at five" he commented casually as he flicked through the pages. "Woh, I don't even know what this text says"

"Why?" I asked ignorant, completely forgotten about our plans.

"Really? Aminé, remember? Our salsa night" he replied as he stared at Ben for a moment. Ben just sat there, but he looked far away from uncomfortable.

Aminé is a salsa club in town where Steve and I go once in a while. I completely forgot that we planned this day to visit Aminé. I guess hanging out with Ben is indeed not going to work out.

"You dance salsa?" Ben said with a amused look on his face. I didn't know if he thought it was nice or not, but I definitely didn't feel ashamed for it.

"Yeah, long time ago though," I answered as he started to pack his things into his backpack.

"Would love to see you dance, but I guess I will be the lucky guy another day," he smiled cheekily. What did he mean by that?

"Who knows," I replied, trying to hide the small blush that crept onto my cheeks.

"Thanks for the help though, but I'll leave you guys for now. Talk to you later" he said as he walked away.

I watched his figure walk away through the entrance of the library while thinking hard to myself. He actually wasn't as bad as I thought he would be, but he surely is a huge flirt. Somewhere I can understand while girls fall for him that easily, but I wasn't planning that for my own.

"Girl, he's already gone. Quit staring" Steve interrupted my thoughts. I blinked a couple times before I turned back to him, slightly embarrassed.

"Don't even start," I said as I noticed the look on his face. I won't get rid of this topic for the next couple of hours.

Ben

Today was an exhausting day, I've never stayed so long at school as today. If it wasn't for the stupid Spanish tutoring I would he chilling with my friends right now. I don't even know why I'm taking this shit so serious.

Trying to get it with Isabella is actually tougher than I thought. She's just too shy and stubborn, I'm actually questioning myself if she has a social life. Ain't got time for nothing.

As I walked outside, I glanced around for Devin his car. The boys would pick me up and we would get something to eat before heading to a party.

"Yo," I said as I opened the car and sat next to D'Angelo in the back. They greeted me back, Joel immediately turning around in his seat to look at me.

"Boy, don't tell me you were late cuz of that Isabella girl," he said and the other's attention turned directly to me as well.

"Shut up," I muttered while glancing out of the window.

D'Angelo started to laugh, exaggerating extremely. "You are really trying so hard!"

"I told you he's really getting it," Devin commented, eyes fixed on the road.

"But even getting extra help with Spanish? Man," D'Angelo went on.

"Can't blame him though, she kinda hot" Joel shrugged as he turned back in his seat.

"Uhu, Ben would definately hit that," D'Angelo chuckled, "If he could"

"Man shut up, you know that girl will hop on this dick in a blink of an eye" I shot back, slightly irritated by his jokes. Though, that's who D is, always making fun of everybody.

Devin snorted while shaking his head slightly. "Let's just get something to eat, I don't want to hear all y'all disrespecting shit"

I just stayed quiet as I unlocked my phone. I really needed a fuck tonight, trying so hard for a girl to like me was frustrating.

You going to the Michael's party tonight?

I send Jenn, a girl I sometimes fuck with when I feel like. She's nice, but not my type. I'm not into having a relationship at all, so she better don't catch any feelings.

She replied within seconds, thirsty ass.

Yes 😘 

I didn't reply back, I guess I'll just see her at the party later this night. First I want something to eat, I'm dying to have a pizza slice in my mouth right now.
