Hermosa [Ben Simmons]

Seis.

A few honks were heard outside, telling me Steve was waiting for me. I checked myself one last time in the mirror before I went downstairs. I was wearing a simple black jeans, a yellow spaghetti strap top and of course my dance shoes.

I grabbed my jacket and threw it over my shoulders. "See you in a couple hours! I'm out," I said to my little brother who just muttered a soft yes.

I stepped outside, immediately a soft chill ran down my spine. The wind was quite cold. I quickly stepped to Steve's car which engine was still running. I waved shortly and got in the seat next to him.

"Hey," I said smiling while buckling myself. The car smelled like Steve and his cologne what I will always love.

"You look cute," he said while scanned me for a second. "You should put your hair in a bun more often"

"Hm," I shrugged.

"You look good too Steve" he joked as he rolled his eyes at me playfully.

"But you already know you do," I kissed his cheek at which he just rolled his eyes playfully. He wore a black skinny jeans with a couple of holes on his thighs, matching with a simple white shirt and a black smooth jacket.

He pushed the gaspedal as the car started to move foreward. I turned the radio on and immediately Drake's voice filled the car. I scrunchend my face at the sound of the song, I've heard this too many times.

Steve however, started to sing along with Drake, more like screaming. He did this high pitched voice what actually could harm your ears. I chuckled and glanced out of the window, focussing on the different houses that pass by.

How much I didn't want to think of him, I did it as well. The whole day my mind couldn't help but drift to the Ben and the events the last couple days. I have never really hated him, but I must say I had my thoughts about him. It was quite weird to know that not all of the gossip was true, that he was actually a decent person.

Of course, if you looked like that you have girls all around you. It's just that I'm doubting if all the rumors about him were actually true.

"Stop dreaming kid, we're here" Steve said while softly slapping my cheek. I acted as if I wasn't lost in my thoughts and quickly got out of the car. I could already hear the music blast from the club.

I offered Steve my arm and he happily took it, walking with me to the entrance of Aminé. It was a greenish building with yellow here and there. The name of the club hung in bright letters above the entrance, giving it a very welcoming look.

"Steve! Isabella! How nice to see you two again," Alejandro said as we approached the wardrobe. "Still stuck with each other, I see"

Alejandro is a man we know from here. He works here and has become a very good friend of ours. He's amazingly warm and friendly and you can always have fun with him. It's a shame I don't see him that often anymore, he could really brighten your mood.

"Unfortunately, yes" Steve said before I could say the exact same line. "How have you been?"

"I've been doing great, running this business" he replied as he moved his hands around him.

"Glad Animé is still doing so well," I commented as I smiled politely at him. He smiled back at me and unexpectedly pulled me in for a hug.

"So, so good to see you," he mumbled before he pulled back from the hug. "You're still such a pretty lady, already found a good man that suits you?"

I laughed and threw my arm around Steve's shoulder. "You know I already have one and always will"

"Oh stop it," Steve said as he pushed me playfully aside, causing my arm to fall from his shoulder.
