Ben's younger sister, Nikki, becomes close friends with a girl named Stephanie. After being introduced to her, they start spending a lot more time together... and Ben realizes Stephanie is more than just a friend.

Ben took me to this cute breakfast cafe, it was lowkey because barely anyone was here, so it'd be perfect to hide from paparazzi or fans. He guided me to this table for two and a waiter came over to take our orders.
"Simmons, you're back in LA?" The waiter asked. He had an Australian accent too.
"Yeah, man. It feels good to be here."
"And who is the beauty may I ask?" He looked at me and I smiled.
"Stephanie." I answered.
"Pleasure to meet you. I'm Benjamin's cousin, Hunter." He shook my hand, and took our orders after.
Our plates came in no time, it looked nicely put together with petals on top, so romantic. Ben took his fork and started to dig in, but I stopped him.
"Wait, let me take a picture first." Ben stared at me with his hand on his chin, waiting for me to take this picture. I posted it on my Instagram and tagged him.

"I know we're supposed to be eating, but I wanna ask you some questions, because I feel like we both don't know each other very well." I stated shyly.
"That's fine, what do you wanna know?" He took a mouthful of some fruit and swallowed it like a pill.
"Wow. How did you become such a fast eater?" I asked.
"Being friends with Joel changes you." He laughed, covered his mouth.
"Just kidding, but I guess we can make this fun? I ask a question, you answer truthfully and ask me a question." He nodded. "Me first. How long have you been playing basketball?"
"Since a child, when I still lived in Australia. I moved here to play it more competitively." The way he said 'Australia' was so cute. "What's your hobby?"
"I just go to school. I like to draw houses, and interior designs. That's also my major." I explained. "What's your favorite color?"
"Blue. It looks good on me." He smirked. "Don't you go to school with Nik?"
"Yep, USC. I don't live on campus, though. When's your birthday?"
"July 20th. I'm 21, if you didn't know. What about you?" Ben answered.
"October 3rd. And I'm 20."
"I hope I remember all this." Ben looked down and cut off a piece of his pancake.
"I hope you do too." I said sarcastically.
We finished eating and talked for what felt like hours. I feel like I know almost everything about him now, his ex-girlfriends, his family, closest friends, and hometown. In return he knows everything about me too. I haven't bonded with anyone like this since forever. We left the cafe and went back into his car, and he drove me home.
