'ben stop it!' says nailah laughing while he stop showering her with kisses.
'you should be the one to stop being so bloody kissable.' he says as he hovers over the top of her, leaning down to kiss her.
nailah looks at him, putting her hand against his face and stroking it softly. he takes her hand and kisses the top of her fingers.
'i'm going to be late for work babe.' she says and he moves out of the way so she can get up from his bed.
'ben!' she says laughing as he wraps his arms around her waist and pulling her close to him.
'don't leave me.' he mumbles, she turns around and faces him.
'i'm only going to work, i'll see you tonight.'
'i can't wait that long, can't you call in sick?' he says pouting like a dog making her roll her eyes.
'no, i'll see you later. and besides you get to meet your cast mates for bohemian rhapsody, that's definitely something to look forward to.' she says with a smile, kissing him quickly and getting out his bed before heading into the bathroom.
ben just rolls into his back and looks at the ceiling smiling. for the first time in nearly a year, he truly feels happy.

ben has just arrived at hemel hempstead as he was told by his agent. he is meeting the rest of his cast mates at a pub called the red lion, they thought it would be the best place to meet and get to know each other before directly meeting each other on set. he walks inside the pub and sees a group of four people, chatting amongst each other.
'hello! you must be ben! i'm gwilym, it's nice to meet you.' he says with a smile, ben smiles back and shakes his hand.
'i'm lucy.'
'joe, nice to meet you.'
'and i'm rami.'
he greets them all politely, he even praises rami as he's a huge fan of his tv show, mr robot. as he looks at them, he notices straight away why they were casted as freddie john brian and mary.
'now that we're all here, what would you to drink ben?' asks joe.
'just a pint please mate.' says ben nodding his head, joe walks away to fetch ben, a beer and lucy speaks up.
'so ben, tell us about yourself.' she says with a smile.
'there's not much to say to be honest. i'm from bournemouth but i'm currently living in london and i'm twenty five years old.' he says with a shrug, his phone vibrating in his pocket.
nailah : hello my darling, i hope you have a great day and i hope you have fun meeting all your castmates. see you later baby! x
'girlfriend?' says lucy laughing slightly.
'yeah.' he says with a smile showing her his lockscreen.
'she's very beautiful, what's her name?'
'nailah.'
'how long have you been together?'
'only a few weeks but i've liked her for ages.'
'aww that's so cute! so you're both still pretty in the puppy love phase.' says lucy laughing slightly making him smile.
joe comes back and sets ben's drink in front of him while they both start to talk about the film and getting to know each other.

nailah is currently sitting at her desk, keeping up to date with her paperwork while her boss, alexa, walks in.
'hey nailah.' she says putting a few envelopes on her desk.
'hi.' says nailah looking up from her paperwork.
'i have a few things to ask you.' says alexa sitting opposite her.
'sure, what is it?'
'i need you to stay later tonight. adam's just had to go because something to do with his daughter so we need someone to complete his paperwork, tonight. i'll pay you to do it.'
'well i kind of had plans?' says nailah awkwardly.
nailah and ben had plans to go and see "we will rock you" in the west end before to a fancy restaurant she booked.
'but i'll cancel it, i guess.' says nailah shrugging her shoulders.
'you're the best nailah! also, i think one of those letters is about that job in wimbledon.' says alexa.
'alexa, i have two tickets to see we will rock you. do you want them? as i can't get so i want someone else to go instead.' says nailah asking alexa.
'i'd love to! how much do you want for them?'
'oh nothing! it's free, just take them.'
'are you sure?'
nailah just nods and gets the tickets out of her handbag and hands them to her.
'well thank you nailah! i really appreciate it.' she says with a smile before leaving her office.
nailah gets her phone out of her handbag and calls the restaurant to cancel their reservation. she was looking forward to seeing we will rock you with ben. she bought those tickets as a surprise as he's never been and she thought he would like it as he's playing in the film about queen.
nailah: hey ben, sorry to text you again i don't want to seem that clingy girlfriend that feels the need to text you all the time but i'm working late tonight. which means i had to cancel our plans for tonight, i'm sorry x
ben: don't worry about it babes! i don't think i could have made it tonight anyways, i might stay overnight here. we can do something, an other time. love you! x
nailah sighs before shoving her phone into her bag and continuing to do her work, it's going to be a long night.
*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧
nailah flops into her king sized bed after doing an extra five shift. she was living on cups of tea and coffee but her body is slowly suffering from the lack of food she's had today.
she gets into her pyjamas after brushing her teeth and washing her face then climbs into bed.
it's the first time in weeks, she's slept alone. she's always been around at ben's or he's been here. she's so used to having here that she rests her head on the pillow next to her and breathes in ben's scent of aftershave and hair gel.
she eventually falls asleep peacefully whereas ben is doing something he's going to regret.
