The look on his handsome face was priceless. I wish I had my phone with me right now, I would have snapped it to show you guys but sorry...you all are left to imagine the look on his face.

After the priceless look he had showcased, he burst out in a hysterical laughter, which made me jolt up from his lap and gave him a perplexed look. "Ruby, when would you stop all these jokes?" He said in between his laugh.

I sat down comfortably on the sofa with my eyebrows marred in confusion. "I'm serious Benji. Faith has a crush on you."

His laughter suppressed into giggling. "What? The Faith I know likes Chuka a lot." He sounded so confidence saying this but little did he know.

"Oh really? Let me ask a question, when last did you see both of 'em together?" I pouted my lips and raised an eyebrow with my hands folded around my tit.

"Er..." He scratched his head. "I really don't know."

"You see! What if they've broken up?"

"I'm not sure. I'd ask Chuka later today, but how do you know she has a crush on me?" He looked at me with furrowed eyebrows.

"I heard her say it to someone."

"What if it's not my Benjamin then?" He argued.

"Why are you being so impossible right now?" I asked in exasperation. "The exact day you came back to the lesson was the day I heard her say to someone that her crush, Benji," I placed my fingers in quote. "Is back." After I'd concluded my statement, he kept mute but still looked skeptical about it.

"Believe me Benjamin." I gave him a pleading look as I placed my hands on his arm. "I'm telling the truth." My voice came out so soft.

He looked at me and then smiled, those heartwarming smile. "I missed you a lot."

I narrowed my eyes at him. "Really Benji, really? You're going to say this now when I'm telling you something very important?"

He chuckled. "I've heard all what you said, but there's nothing to say or do." He grinned at me.

"Stop grinning joor!" I hit him hard on the arm.

"Ow!" He rubbed his arm. It must have hurt him, even if it was just a little. "Ruby, you're beating me now o. If I start my own, don't complain."

"Duh." I raised my hand to his face. "But seriously Benjamin, what are you going to do about this?"

"Uhm...I would just speak with her."

"Hmm. I'm scared Benjamin." I relaxed my body on his chest and wrapped my arms around his waist. He then placed his hands around me.

"Why?" His voice came out low yet sexy.

"I don't want her to steal you away from me 'cause apparently, you've known her for quite a sometime now and obviously, she's the prettiest girl in the lesson."

He laughed a little. "Do you really think that low of me? I've known for her for quite sometime doesn't mean I would fall for her. She's just a friend and would remain that until we split ways. For now, you are the only person I see in my heart. To tell you the truth, looks is not everything." And he kept on talking and talking until I didn't even know when I fell asleep. His chest was hard yet comfortable for me. Wrapping my arms around him made me feel warm and loved.
