How It All Fell Into Place

Chapter Two

Olivia's POV

Ben and I are sitting on his bed after dinner talking about all the funny things that happened. I am staying the night at his house because its our birthday party tomorrow. We were born in the same month just two day apart so we celebrate on the day between.

"I can't believe you threw those mashed potatoes at him!" I exclaim.

"Well at least I didn't pour water all over Paige." He laughs and I laugh with him. His laugh is perfect. He is perfect.

Did I just think that? There is no way I just thought that about Ben. Ben of all people!

Snap out of it, Olivia! He's your best friend.

"What are you thinking about?" Ben asks.

"Nothing." I can feel my cheeks turning pink.

He raises his eyebrows. "Liar!" yells says.

"I'm not lying!" I say.

"Yes you are! TELL ME NOW." he says.

"How do you know?" I ask.

"Because you're chewing on your fingernails and playing with your hair and you do that when you lie."

I blush. Did he really notice that? He was smiling a triumphant smile. "So tell me." He demands.

"Tell you what?" I ask, stalling.

"What you were thinking." he says.

"Why do you want me to know?"

He shrugs. "I just want to." he answers.

"That's not good enough." I smirk.

He pouts and I roll my eyes.

"YOU WILL TELL ME," he declares. He jumps on top of me and begins to tickle me.

"STOP STOP STOP!!" I shout at him. He doesn't listen and tickles me more.

I begin to roll on his bed and I fall of the side onto the floor.

We both start laughing again when Mrs. Apone comes into the room and asks if anything is wrong. We ignore her and just laugh harder.

Ben looks to the floor and begins to stare at me. I look back at him.

"Why are you starring at me?" I ask him before he looks away and blushes.

"Alright!" His mom says. "Time for bed!"

I head to Paige's room, which is where I sleep. I feel my phone buzz be it's Ben.

You will tell me.

-Ben

Why does he care?

"So do you like Ben?" Paige asks.

"Yeah, we're friends."

She giggles. "But do you like him, like him?

I roll my eyes."No! He's my best friend!" My cheeks turn pink.

"You do like him!" Paige declares.

"I do not!" I say in a high pitched voice.

"Yes you do!"

I rolled my eyes. I start chewing on my nails and messing with my hair.

"I knew you like Ben! You are messing with your hair and chewing your nails! You are lying!"

Does every one know what I do when I lie!?

I hear a shuffle behind the door. I put my finger on my lips to signal Paige to be quiet. I open the door and hear a thud. I see Ben quickly jump up and run down the hall. I run after him and bang on the door to his room and hear fake snoring.

"Benny!" I shout. From the other side of the door I hear him mumble, "Don't call me that!" I hear a lot of stomping and banging as he gets closer to the door.

"Please, Ben." I pretend to pout. "C'mon. Let me in." I knock on the door again.

Ben slowly opens the door. His dark brown hair is is all messy and and his night pants are all wrinkled. I find it odd though that he sleeps with out a shirt on though.

I blush.

"Yeah?" He asks, his voice sounds scratchy.

"What did you hear?" I demand in a whisper.

"I didn't hear anything." He says, using the same tone I did.

"Ben, I know you were eavesdropping," I say pushing into his room and closing the door. "Just tell me what you heard."

I can't tell what his facial expression is in the dark light but I can tell he is blushing.

"Fine, I was eavesdropping. But that doesn't mean i'm telling you what i heard." He opens the door, pushes me out, closes the door, and locks it.

What just happened?
