Ben's Ex-Girlfriend (Parks and Rec | Ben and Leslie)

Chapter 12: The Fight Part 2

At Leslie's Office:

Ben knocks on Leslie's office door. Leslie looks up from her computer and is caught off guard seeing Ben leaning on the door post. Damn, he looks really hot today, Leslie thought. He is wearing the green plaid shirt that she really liked on him. One that she also liked taking off of him...

"Hey." Ben gives her a smile, hoping she had finally forgiven her. "Are you still mad?" Ben asks, sitting on the chair next to the door.

She almost forgets how angry she was as she missed him desperately but she recovers from her daydream and takes on a serious mood, "What can I help you with, Mr. Wyatt?"

"Seriously?" Ben gives her an exasperated look. "You need to stop this right now, Leslie. It's getting really childish. You probably don't even remember why you were so mad in the first place."

"I know exactly why I'm angry and why I'm not speaking to you." Leslie says. She breaks her silent treatment of Ben so she could defend herself. "Tell me, Ben. When was the last time you saw Amy?" Ben goes quiet and Leslie smiles smugly.

"Leslie, this is about us. Why can't you trust me?"

"Oh my God, Ben. We've already been through this. Amy. Still. Loves. You."

"Leslie, you are being unreasonable. Again."

"I'm unreasonable? I spelled it out pretty clearly, Ben!" Leslie starts yelling.

"Well you need to spell check it, Leslie!" Ben yells back.

"My spelling is impeccable!" Leslie suddenly stands, places her hands on her desk and leans towards Ben. "How dare you question my spelling!" Ben was really unsure of where this conversation was heading to and how it even got to this point, but he was getting really annoyed with Leslie always wanting to be right.

"Sometimes. Just sometimes, does it ever occur to you, that you might be, oh, I don't know, wrong?" Ben is now standing and pointing his finger at Leslie.

"Wrong? Me? NEVER!" Leslie swats Ben's finger away. Ben lifts his finger to point at her again and Leslie slaps it to the side.

"Hey! Hey! Hey! What is going on?" Ron's voice cuts the argument between Leslie and Ben. They both looked surprised to see him in the room. Leslie glances behind Ron to see everyone in the office looking at them.

"We're done here." Leslie glares at Ben.

Ben looks at Ron, "I'm... I'm sorry." He looks embarrassed and he walks out of the office quickly with his head down, ignoring the rest of the Parks and Rec employees who were obviously eavesdropping.

Ron turns back to Leslie, "What is going on, woman? I thought that you guys were friends?"

"Well it turns out that he's friends with everybody."

"What does that even mean?"

"It's nothing." Leslie mumbles.

"Get it together, Leslie. That was your boss that you just yelled at and I do not want you getting fired for it." Ron doesn't budge until she nods her head.

"Yeah, whatever."

At Ben's Office:

Ben is back in his office, he's staring at the computer screen. His mind still in the argument. He is really miserable and he can't believe he just had a yelling match with her in public. He takes a deep breath and decides to fix to the situation, it was really getting out of hand. He was really close to grabbing Leslie and kissing her on the spot. He misses her so much that he didn't care that he would probably get fired for it.

The wedding that Amy was working on happened yesterday, but Amy is staying behind trying to see if Pawnee was something she could call home. He had been helping her feel comfortable with the town. He really didn't know what was wrong with that, but if Leslie wanted him to stop spending time with Amy, then that's what he was going to do. He is now willing to try anything to make Leslie start talking to him again.

'Hey, can we talk?' Ben texts Amy.

Amy replies after a few minutes. 'Yeah, you wanna get some drinks at a bar after work? '

'OK. Pick you up at 6.'
