Second Love (BenEarth)

Lunch

Earth

"Where we going?" Benjamin asked as he drives.

"Find Nome's place." Earth said annoyed..

"I have no idea where that is" Benjamin is honest, he really does not know.

"Uni. Main gate turn left before you exit, you will find it there." Earth said anoyed.

"You seem to know where to find tbe foods here?" Ben teased him. But Earth did not respond.

"So, how did you get in the dorm?"

"Cab."

"Why Dome said he will drive you." Ben raised his voice.

"As if, he has a date. If he did not volunteered doing it he will not do it, unless it benefits him." Earth is showing annoyance.

"Sorry, i really left you behind." Ben is sincere in his apologies.

Earth did not said anything. He remembered wahat Pavel said, Benjamin thought Pavel is his boyfriend not his cousin's. He wants to tease Ben and prove Pavel wrong but he is not in the mood right now. For Pavel and his cousin suddenly have date and forget him. Then Chen and Nine are no where to be found.

He took a cab to the dorm, he already ate before leaving the mall but seeing Benjamin state, he looks like he has not eaten anything yet

It is none of his bissiness if Benjamin would starve to death, but he promisedd Ben's mom, he will atkeast see if Ben eats well. Untill his room is available. But for now, he has this urge of responsibility, specially that the jerk will forcely join a contest.

They reached the place. Because lunch time already passed, there are just few students who are eating in the place. They sit beside the window on the left, there are trees outside. This is Erth's second time here and that is the same spot he chose the first time he was here with Pavel, Dome, Nine and Chen.

A waitress came to them.
"Hi Earth, where is Nine?" She asked.

"He's afraid of you that's why he did not want to bring me here anymore." Earth said and smiled. Not knowing Ben is staring at him.

"This is?" The waitress asked.

"Ben." Ben said. But did not smile and dig in the menu.

"Chicken roast please, well done, half,  mashed potato, lettuce salad with chicken topping and orange juice please. Then a sandwhich and apple juie. Thank you." Earth said.

"Okay." The waitress said and leave.

"Wait what will i eat Benjamin said.

"Just wait it will just come."

"But i want pork." Ben said.

"Listen Mister, you have a contest in two weeks. You need chicken and veggies not prok. You will only eat pork and beef if you win." Earth said.

"If i did not"

"No meat at all Mister!" Earth said.

Orders came.
As food is placed in the table he gave it all to Ben, all he will eat is the sandwhich and the apple juice.

"I think this is too much."

"O come on, with a big guy like you. You can eat that. Because your dinner will be forriage." Earth said.

Then Earth started eating his sandwhich while on his phone.  He looked at Benjamin.

"Eat it Ben, o by the way, i don't have anything to do till dinner so i can wait till you start eating and finish that all." Earth said like a mother.

This hard headed bulk you are making my blood pressure run high.

Benjamin started eating and continued eating, untill he is done. It took him more than 30 minutes to finish it all he realized he is really hungry. He had not eaten breakfast and lunch good enough Earth came to wake him up and bring him here.

Ben looked up and Earth in not with him, he looked around. He found Earth's phone on the table, He was into his food and did not saw where Earth went.

Then Earth appeared out of nowhere.
He is drinking his juice.

"Wait what did you eat?" Ben asked Earth

"Ground pork with veggies and salads. Oh, i ate before i went to the dorm." He siad.

Benjamin just looked at Earth and leaned back on his chair.

"Done?" Earth asked.

"Why. are you in a hurry?" Ben asked.

"Not really." Earth said.
Earth, calm it  you are just bringing him to lunch. Then back to the dorm then you get off. This is not good for you.
"I am just wondering if you wanna go somewhere else."
His voice is dull and he does not look at Ben in tbe eyes.

Benjamin.

Shit how to be around him normally again. He took  me to lunch. Yeah. He did, like always my baby makes sure i am eating, a real wifey material. Wifey? Did he asked me to go somewhere?

Sigh.

"Let's just go back to the dorm." Earth said giving a light smile.

No! But it is okay, we live in one dorm. Stay in the dorm with you.

Ben nods his head and became silent.
My heart is floating as i follow him to the car. I wanted to open the car for him, but he stopped me. I can't hide a smile anymore.

He is quiet..
What is he thinking?
I am really enjoying this not talking but riding together yeah, this is fun. No not fun, satisfying it is.

The dorm is too near. Yeah we live in the same dorm but this is the nearest we get, i can reach him. We live in the same dorm same room to be exact but he is too distant.
I want my baby back.

They both get off the car. They walk in and Pavel greeted them. Earth face became more lively upon seeing his cousin's his boyfriend.

"Brought you something." Pavel said and gave it to Earth. Ben stood not too far from them. And he did not heard the rest of what Pavel said
"Dome wants to see you in his dorm. Nine is also there."
He then looked at Benjamin.

"I will follow you there." Earth said.

"I will go ahead okay?" Pavel said and tapped Earth back. The way Pavel holds Earth give anyone a hint that they are something.

Benjamin cleared his troat. Earth then walked to him.
"Let's go."

Benjamin look at Paveel still smilling he wanted to ask now what is their relationship. But Earth pushed him to the elevator.

What is Earth doing, Pavel is still looking at us when he pushed me to the elevator. But Earth looks so excited now.

Silence but inside Ben's heart he is mad he is filled with different emotions.

Earth moved fast inside the room he put the plastic Pavel gave him in his drawer. Then he took a jacket.

"I need to go with Pavel right now. And i will bring you your dinner later, do not eat anything. If you get hungry, eat the fruits in the ref. Take some more rest. Bye. See you later."

He talked as he moved without looking at Benjamin.

Then he walks to the door.

"Ert, thank you" Ben said.

"Welcome. I gotta go. Eat some fruits and drink some water. Bye." Then he get out of the dorm.

Going with Pavel, is that why he wears a thick jacket he will ride Pavel's bike. Where are they going. I need to know. But how. If i follow them. My baby will be mad at me.
Earth!
You took me to lunch then date with your boyfriend? Then bring me dinner? What is going on in his mind.
Crazy.

Ben laid on his bed. Looking at Earth's empty bed. He grabbed his pillow and the smell of Earth's perfume consumed him and bring him to sleep again.

"I miss you baby"
He said in his sleep.
