Flash back
It is now seven thirty and still now sign of Ben. Where could he possibly be. I am sitting on my porch swing waiting for his truck to turn onto my road. I pull out my phone and see is he called and I just didn't answer. I had no new messages, great. Then I look at the road again and Ben's truck is zooming down the road.
He gets out of his truck and leans against the truck, a smirk plastered against his face. I get up and brush the fake dirt off my dress. "Where were you? Oh my God." A small bruise is forming around his eye. "Ben what happened." "Honey it's nothing really." Then I notice that his lip is slightly cut open. So I did what any other girl would do if they were sad, I hugged my boyfriend. "It is not just nothing Ben." Sadly I knew who did this to him and I didn't like it one bit.
"I know your dad did it Ben, we don't have to go tonight if you don't want to." "No absolutely not. We are going." I sigh knowing there was no changing his mind on this. I am standing in between his legs and still hugging him. "Okay but promise that you will call next time it happened I can always come get you." "I don't need you to worry about me Cobie." "Whatever." I kiss him on the cheek and walk over to the passenger side.
"Ready?" "Yes sir!" I say scooting over to him. "So where we going." "You will see." I was honestly surprised, Ben was dressed in a nice shirt and dress shorts. He must have meant it when he said to dress nice. "Ben where are we going?" "We will be there in five minutes."
"Ben where the hell are we?" "We are at a rodeo." "Why the hell are we here." "Well you were expecting something nice and fancy, but you guessed wrong." "Ben if you are just kidding then stop. Can we go now." "No come on I got seats in the second row." I groan and walk with him. Why was I even with this retard?
We sit down and Ben gets popcorn. "Ben I don't think this is a good idea." "Cobie you need to calm down okay." He leans in and kisses me on the cheek. I smile and lean into him more. We now sit waiting for the bull to come out. What a pointless sport or activity. Sitting on a bull and getting thrown off and who ever stays on the longest wins money. I heard people sometimes even die from the bull. What a stupid way to die.
"I think I am going to be a bull rider. What do you think honey bun?" I laugh that all I can do. "What, why are you laughing?" "Because I will never let you do that. Also you called me honey bun." "Well I think I am going to do it." "Okay well I am going to go to the bathroom. Be right back."
I get up and head to the bathroom. I look around but there was too many people. Wow a lot of people come to this thing don't they. "Hey sweet thing!" I turn around to see two boys is what you could call them cheeking out my butt. "Do you need something?" I say rolling my eyes. "Wow a little sassy are we, Tommy just your kind of girl feisty." "Get the hell away from me. I have a boyfriend." "Well maybe we can change that. Come on baby just let it happen."
The guy named Tommy starts to move closer to me. "Move." Tommy or should I say dirt bag, yeah that's what I am going to call him. Dirt bag grabs my arm and pulls me against his chest. "Get off." "Your boyfriend isn't going to save you know huh baby?"
"Get the fuck away from my girl." "I turn around to see Ben standing there fist tightly in a ball by his side. His teeth are clenched and his knuckles are turning white. "And what are you going to do about it?" "This." Ben says coldly. God he looked sexy pissed, Cobie focus. Dirt bag lets go of my arm and throws and punch at Ben.
Ben catches his fist and punches him in the throat. He goes down instantly gasping for air. I laugh and run to Ben. I jump in to his arms. Thankfully he catch's me, spinning me around. "I could have got that." Ben laughs and kisses me on the neck. "Sure thing babe." I laugh and kiss him on the cheek.
"Can we leave now." "Sure thing honey bun." I laugh and he carry's me out on his back. While I whisper in his ear. "So it is only eight o'cloack what do you want to do?" "Well you will see." "Oh come on don't say you didn't plan on taking us here." "No I had a feeling this wouldn't turn out good, that's why I have a plan B." "Where are we going." "That is for me to know and you to find out," he says with a smirk.
He sets me down and I walk over to the passenger seat. "What are you doing?" "Getting my seat." "No you're not you are going to drive us where I tell you." He chuckles slightly knowing exactly what he is doing. "No, no, no I am not doing that. I don't know how to drive your car nor do I want to." "Babe it is not that hard come on do it for me." "Nope." He laughs and comes around the truck.
He swiftly picks me up bridle style and carries me to the drivers side. "What if I run someone over you know this place is pretty packed." We look around us to see everyone inside enjoying the show. "I think you will be fine." He opens the door and sets me down.
He runs over and gets into the car. "Now start the car." "I know, I know I am not a complete retard." "I don't know??" I laugh and start the car. I slowly put the car in drive. As it starts to move I quickly slam on the breaks scared I was going to kill someone. "Ouch." I look over to see Ben rubbing his head."
"And that lady's and gentlemen is why you always wear a seat belt." I say while clapping my hands to make a bigger deal out of it. "Would you just drive." I take my foot off the break and start to slowly make it to the exit.
Now I know what your thinking 'Wow Cobie has to be a real retard if she can't drive Ben's truck' But you don't understand. Ben's truck is very old and is about to fall apart at any moment. You do one wrong thing his truck falls apart. Also you have to do so many things to make other things on the vehicle work.
I was pretty proud of myself I have made it all the way across the street without crashing my boyfriends car. Lets just hope the rest of the night will go smoothly.
