*Ben's POV*

This is it. Make it or break it. My future depends on this. What I'm about to say. I have never been more nervous. Even auditioning for the band, this is more nerve wrecking!

"Ok, Eloise listen. Don't interrupt me, I'm not being rude, it's just easier to explain ask me all the questions you want at the end. Ok so a few days before my 16th birthday, George, our manager rang me asking if I was interested in being in a band. Then he texted me all the details and by September I was moving in with them. I had never met Michael or Dan till then. George made us sign a contract and in that contract it states that we are allowed girlfriends but, we aren't allowed to post pictures with them to the fans or tweet about them because the fans might get angry. So that's one reason why didn't tell you what was going on. I didn't want to break your heart. I know how much you loved me and how much I meant to you. I thought it was best not to tell you. I was really busy with writing the songs for the album, recording the songs, doing covers, signings, tours, meeting fans etc that I didn't have any time to spare. I couldn't Even ring mum! And you know how much she worries! She was going to kill me! So if we were together at the time, it would have put A LOT of stress on our relationship. And I personally, don't think we would have been strong enough to over come that. There hasn't been a day gone by that I haven't thought about you. I'm not just saying that. You meant, still do mean a lot to me. And I can't just switch those feelings off. I have been so close to picking up my phone and ringing you because I know your number of by heart, so many times. But I could never actually bring myself to do it. I couldn't listen to your voice because I know how much I had hurt you and I would have heard it in you voi..." I got cut of by Eloise kissing me. I kissed her back, I can feel her hands slipping into the ends of hair at the back of my head. She grips on it and pulls it lightly. I can hear her moaning in to the kiss. I just smile through it all.

~Eloise's POV~

He just wouldn't shut up. So I did what any girl would have done... And kissed him. I could tell how sorry he was. And how much I meant to him and how much he regretted it. I wasn't going to make him go through everything that he felt again. That's just mean. And as bad as I am, I couldn't do that to him, or anyone. That's just terrible.

We were interrupted when we heard Evelyn come into the room. We pulled away and wee Ben's cheeks went bright red. God love him, he's not used to getting caught!

"Oh my! I'm sorry! I'll, eh, go..." Evelyn said pointing towards the door.

"No,no it's fine I think we are done here anyway. There's nothing more to say." I say looking at Ben and biting my lip.

"You mean nothing more to DO." Evelyn replies winking at the end. Oh my god! I'm never going to hear the end of this now! Do you know what! I don't even care. It was worth it. Evelyn leaves the room and, we just fall on to the sofa.

"Sooooo..." Ben starts.

"Ben. Please you don't have to explain anymore. I get it. It's management and you didn't want me to get hurt. You were just looking after me in the long run. I'm greatful I really am. Look, before you left I was gunna ask to something..." I say playing with my fingers. I look down and them to see Ben placing his hand on top of my nervous fingers. I look up and make eye contact with him.

"El, babe, i know what it was you were going to ask. And I wanna get there before you..."

He gets of the sofa, on to his knees, kneeling infront of me, takes both my hands and says,

"Babe, I want you and only you. Yes I have some pretty hot fans, but none of them are as pretty as you. I have known it since I first played football on the field near the park with you when we were like 6 that I loved you. Eloise, will you be my girlfriend?"

*Ben's POV*

That's it. I have finally said everything I have ever wanted to say to her. It's gone. Out in the open now.

"Ben, I think you know my answer..." She bends down, eye-level with me. And kisses me. Not your average kiss, a proper passionate kiss.

I may have waited two years but it was WELL worth it...
