I'm Useless | Reddie and Stenbrough

{25} Counciling

After Richie finished writing his note he ripped it up and threw it away. He didn't want anyone to find it. Or for it to get mailed. He decided to call Bev, "Hey Bevvy." "Hey Rich what's up?" "Just hanging out at Stan and Bills place watching their dog." "Where are they?" "Stan took him out, said they'd be back tomorrow afternoon." "So why'd you call?" "I'm bored and wanted to talk to my best friendddd," "You sound like you did something stupid." "I didn't, I just want to know if you want to hang out." "Yeah sure I'll be over in like 20 minutes." "Ok see you then."

He mainly wanted tot all to Bev about how her and Bens relationship is doing. They were such a cute couple he didn't want them to split. After around 25 minutes Bev arrived and he let her in. The dog favored her and Richie since they were always over and have him treats after Stan or Bill told them not too.

"So Bev I know things are rough with you and Ben, do you want to talk about it?" "Since when did you become a relationship councilor?" "Since Stan starting asking me for advice," Richie said with a smile. "Well I love him a lot but he's so busy all the time with work. Like right now he's at work and he works until 7:30pm." Richie thought for a bit, "How about at 8:00pm you me and him have a little chat?" Bev sat there thinking it was a joke, "wait your serious? What happened to 'I don't want to be involved in your relationship gushiness?'"

"Look Bev I've changed a lot after me and Stan has a talk about well Eddie and I've learned some things and I want to pass the in to you," "Damn you've changed," Bev said pulling him into a hug. "Oh and tell him to wear something nice. Because after we talk you tel are going out on a date." Richie said with a smile.

Bev and Richie went back to Bev's so they could get her ready. It took a few hours and by the time they were done it was 7:00pm. "Alright we have 30 minutes. How about you text him and tell him to meet you at Bill and Stans." "Ok, I'll text him." She texted him and he said "ok" so they went back to Bill and Stans.

7:30 hit the clock and they heard a knock on the door. Richie answered it, Ben was dressed nicely like Bev told him. "Hey Rich," "Hey Haystack," Richie said with a smile. Bev came up to the door, "Hey baby." Bev said as she walked up to the door. "Holy shit you look nice," Ben said smiling making Bev blush.

The couple sat on the couch and Richie sat across from them. "Where's Stan and Bill?" Ben asked petting Braxton. "Stan took Bill out they'll be back tomorrow afternoon." Bev smiled and held Bens hand. "So we are here to talk about your relationship." Richie said.

"Oh," Ben said squeezing Bev's hand. "So Bev how about you talk first and say how you feel." "Well I love Ben a lot, and I want to spend the rest of my life with him but sometimes I feel like he thinks work if more important than our relationship." Bev said flatly. "Now Ben say how you feel."

"love her a lot and like she said I want to spend the rest of my life with her. And I get where she's coming from. Sometimes I do work a lot, but I'm just doing that so we can eventually get a better house than the shitty one we have. And I'm sorry that you feel neglected, and I'll try to work less and make more time for you." Ben said looking at Bev who had tears in her eyes.

I hope you enjoyed this chapter with Richie being responsible for once 😂
