Collided

Chapter 32

Rey's POV:

Rey slowly woke up in the tight embrace of Ben's arms and she panicked when she saw the time. She was going to be really late for class if she isn't ready in the next 5 minutes... How did she sleep through her alarm? Shit! She shoved Ben's arms off of her and pushed him away so she could get up. Rey didn't have time to be sweet about it. She rushed to her dresser and started throwing on her dance clothes.

"That was mean..." Ben said jokingly and it startled her. She looked back at Ben and he was barely awake.

"Sorry. I'm going to be late." She nearly tripped over herself as she yanked on her tights. She heard Ben laughing but she doesn't have time to do anything about it. Once she was dressed she put her hair in the messiest bun ever. Oh well. There isn't time to fix it. Instead of putting her Pointe shoes on at the school and taking her sweet time, she is going to quickly put them on here. She ran out of the room and grabbed her dance bag before sitting on the couch and putting her Pointe shoes on. Rey looked at the clock and she had about 10 minutes before she had to leave. She could of taken more time to get ready but she also has to eat something. Ben slowly dragged himself into her living room with his sweatpants on and messy hair. He's distracting her... He yawned and rubbed his eyes as he sat down on the floor in front of her.

"How the hell do you tie those string things...?"

"Ribbons?" She laughed at what he called them.

"Yeah..."

"Like this." She showed him how she ties her Pointe shoe ribbons and he watched with furrowed eyebrows.

"Show me that again?"

"Why?" She continued with the other shoe.

"'Cause then if you're ever in a hurry, I can put your shoes on for you while you do whatever girl things you do to get ready." She smiled and the thought of Ben tying her Pointe shoes was a bit funny to her. His hands are so big. Would he even be able to? Well of course but it'd be difficult. Plus, he'd never remember how...

"I'll show you one more time then you can try." Once she showed him again she untied all of her ribbons so Ben could try. She forgot about time but she'll be fine. She'll survive without breakfast. Ben attempted tying the ribbons and he did better than she thought.

"You have to do that the other way." She showed him the right way to wrap the ribbon around her ankle and he tried again. This time he successfully did it and she was very surprised.

"How did you pick up on that so quickly?"

"I'm a fast learner? I don't know..."

"Well if your a fast learner... learn the time." He rolled his eyes and looked at the clock. His eyes widened and he got up quickly.

"Now I'm going to be late. Shit I thought you were just over exaggerating!"

"Well I wasn't... I never exaggerate things."

"Umm... sometimes..."

"No I don't! Name one time." She smirked and Ben suddenly started acting girly. Standing with a knee bent with his weight on one leg, hands on his hips, and he batted his eyelashes.

"Oh my gosh Ben I'm starving! And oh! I'm going to die if we don't get out of this heat!" Rey gasped and tried not to laugh at his imitation of her British accent and tone of her voice.

"I don't sound like that!" He laughed a little.

"Ha. Funny joke." She glared at him and he smirked.

"I'm just teasing you Rey... Come here..." He pulled her against him and hugged her.
