When Life was Just a Game (Ben Hardy x oc)

Six

*Ben's P.O.V.*

I woke up to the sound of my phone. It was a text from Bryan saying that I needed to come into set today. Apparently he wanted us to shoot a quick scene. It was right here in London thankfully.

I got up from the couch that I slept on last night. Frankie was laying at my feet. I walked upstairs to see if Lila would want to come on set with me. I opened the door to my bedroom. Oh my god.

She was beautiful. She was laying on her side, facing me with her eyes closed. Pieces of her platinum hair covering up parts of her face. She must have heard me open the door because her eyes fluttered open.

"You're staring." She pointed out, talking in a rough voice

"Sorry I was just going to ask you if you'd like to come into set with me today?" I asked

"Ugh. But Ben! I'm tired!" She whined

"Lila, I'm tired too, but you don't see me complaining." I said

"Come here. I need to tell you something." She said using her finger to motion me toward her

I walked over to my bed and sat down next you where she was laying.

She sat up. Then, she whispered in my ear.

"I have a surprise for you!"

I raised my brow in confusion.

"What is it?" I asked moving a piece of hair  away from her face

"You'll just have to wait and see. Follow me." She whispered

She grabbed my hand and made me follow her downstairs toward an empty room I had in my house. She opened the door, and I couldn't believe what I saw.

It was a drum set.

"Ta da!" She said

"Lila, how did you-"

"No questions Ben." She cut me off

"I really don't know what to say!"

"A simple thank you would be nice."

"I- Thank you!" I said

I took her by surprise and picked her up bridal style and spun her around.

"I hate you!" She said

I put her down.

"You what?" I asked

"I. Hate. You." She said slowly

"No you don't, you love me." I said

My words had stumped her.

"See, I told you." I said

"So you like it?" She asked

"Are you joking? I love it!" I said

I gave her a hug. I buried my face into her neck. She did the same. God I loved this woman. Even worse, I was in love with her.

We separated.

"I was thinking about inviting Joe, Gwilym, and Lucy somewhere tonight. How does that sound?" I asked

"Ben, you can invite Rami too. It's not fair to him. He doesn't know about us and what we've been through. We just need to move on from last night. Ok?" She said

"I understand." I said

"Alright, now go get ready because you have to be on set soon." She told me

"Are you going to be alright with Julie today?" I asked

"If she behaves, then I will too. It must be hard for her to go five bloody minutes without being a stuck up bitch." Lila said while walking to the bathroom
