Collided

Chapter 9

Rey's POV:

Rey is so excited to finish her shift at work. It feels like she's been working all day but she's only been working for a few hours. Ben isn't coming in tonight because he has to deal with a robbery at someone's house. Ben said that Kylo finally left and went back to his hotel, so there's something that she's happy about. Kylo hasn't done anything, yet, but it's a lot less tense when Ben isn't constantly fighting with Kylo.

"Rey will you go help who just came in? I'm busy right now." She's been cleaning tables most of the night so she'd be more than happy to take someone's order. She went to take the customer's order and as soon as she saw Kylo she wanted to go slam her head into a wall.

"Oh... hey Kylo... what can I get for you?"

"Hi lovely. I'll just have a black coffee."

"Not surprised." She walked away to get his coffee and as she was waiting she noticed Kylo kept staring at her. She wishes Ben was here.

"Here's your coffee. Anything else?" Kylo eyed her up and down. Rey knew he was checking her out and it wasn't making her very comfortable. She's in a relationship, well she thinks, with Ben and Kylo needs to understand that.

"How about you sit, and we talk."

"I can't. I have a job to do." Maz came up to them and she hoped Maz would get her out of the situation.

"Go ahead Rey. You need a break anyway. I can find someone to cover for you." No Maz! You're supposed to help!

"Umm... okay..." She sat down in front of Kylo as Maz walked away smiling. Something is off and she can't figure out what. Maz is being less strict and has been smiling the whole time Kylo has been here. Also, Kylo doesn't seem like Kylo. He seems... different.

"So... you and Ben? You're together?"

"Well I hope so. We haven't exactly talked about it yet."

"How could you like someone like him? You could be with someone so much better than him."

"We had this conversation this morning. He's hotter. It's not just his appearance that I'm very attracted to, it's his personality. He's so sweet and caring and selfless. He's also funny and he actually cares about what I have to say. We relate in so many ways. The question you should be asking is how could Ben like someone like me?"

"You should give me a chance. I could do way better than Ben." Why can't he just give up already?

"How so? You could do better at being a boyfriend or better at sex?" She was trying to sound as rude as possible and she hoped it would work.

"I can't guarantee being a better boyfriend but I'd definitely be better at sex."

"Well that will never happen so stop wasting your time trying to get in my pants. I gotta get back to work." Rey got up and tried to stay as far away from Kylo as possible. Something was off about him. His voice wasn't as deep as she remembers and she could of sworn his hair was shorter than that. Could it be... Ben? No it couldn't. Ben doesn't have a scar across his face. There is also no way Ben could act like Kylo that well. Why would Ben pretend to be Kylo anyway? Yeah there is no way it's Ben.

Rey: Bennnn save me

Ben: ?

Rey: Your damn brother is here

Ben: I'm sorry. Work is keeping me later than expected.

Rey: I know :(

Ben: Don't give me a frowny face
