The Falling virgin

s i x t y f i v e: hold your horses

Benjamin Daniels

I opened the door and looked at Emma, she was wearing a flower dress, two pieces of her hair were clipped together at the back of her head. She was wearing natural make up which made her light blue eyes and freckles stand out.

"Hi." I said. She looked at me, a smile tugging on her face. "Hey."

I stepped aside to let her in. "It's been a while." She said as we walked to my living room. "Yeah, it has been a while." I said, sitting down on the couch. She took place next to me. "Are we alone?" She asked and I nodded. "Yeah," I cleared my throat. "My family is somewhere else."

"Oh." She said, looking around. "Did something change here?"

"We got a new painting and the pictures got replaced. Connor and Allison did that a few months ago." I said, leaning back in the couch. "It's been months?" She asked, sounding a little sad.

"Yeah, since you started dating Jackson. Around March." I said, sighing. She looked at me. "Jackson," She said, her gaze drifting away. "right."

"What's it, Emma?" I asked and she bit her lip that started quivering. "Nothing."

I put my hand on her back and she looked at me. "He broke up with me."

"What the hell?" I frowned. "When?"

"Last week," She said, tears in her eyes.

"Hey, hey, hey." I said as she started sobbing. I pulled her closer to me, her head on my chest. "He isn't worth it."

"It's my fault." She said in between sobs. "Don't say that,"

"Ben, it is, in the months we were dating we didn't do anything sexual, at all." She said, pushed herself away from me. "Em," I said, taking her hand. "It's not your fault, if you didn't want to, you didn't have to."

She wiped away the tears that had escaped her eyes. "But-"

"No buts, young lady." I said. "He's an ass anyways."

"Benjamin." She said firmly. I shrugged. "What?"

She let her shoulders fall. "Thank you."

"For what?" I asked, frowning. "Being my..." She said, stopping her sentence as she looked at our hands that I had intertwined. I tilted her chin, so that she was facing me. I looked at her lips and then met her eyes. "Ben..." She said as I leaned in to kiss her.

She softly placed her hands on my chest. "We can't."

"Why not?" I asked, meeting her eyes for a second. "Because you love Jackson, or because you're scared to get attached? Because you think you're not worth it? Because I don't deserve you, cause I don't. Emma, these past months have been killing me like crazy, I'm not even kidding." My breath quivered and she bit her lip. "Because I don't deserve you. You're this perfect guy. I'm nothing compared to you, some girl."

"You are the girl that I am head over heels for." I said and her soft lips that I had been wanting to kiss this past few months finally met mine again.

My hands found her waist and she softly placed me down on the couch, crawling on top of me whilst kissing. "I missed you." She said, her hands in my hair. "I missed you a whole lot."

"Kiss me then." I said, pulling her towards me. She placed her lips on mine again, her hands unbuttoning my shirt. My hands slid onto her thighs and pushed up her dress. She wiggled her body in a way that made me want more. "Stop teasing." I mumbled trough our kiss.

"What? I'm getting myself comfortable." She said, tracing my abdomen. I hummed pulled down the zipper of her dress. "Whatever you say."

She kissed down my neck, to my chest and stomach. "Have you been working out?" She asked, looking back at me. "Maybe." I said and she kissed her way back up, ending with my lips.

"Are we heading upstairs?" She asked. "Depends on what your plans with me are." I said, a grin forming on my lips. "I have a lot." She said, getting off of me.

I shot up as she was already walking upstairs. "Hey." I said, following her. I entered my room after her and she pulled me closer by my shoulders. "I'm having flashbacks."

"Me too." I said, walking us to the bed. "I like it." I placed her on the bed and kissed her neck.

She moaned as my hands slid up and down her thighs. Her hands ran trough my hair, pulling on it. I groaned, as she nibbled on my earlobe. My breath hitched as he hands traveled down my whole body. She opened my pants whilst my hand slid down the dress off of her shoulders. I kissed her lips again, biting her bottom lip to let my tongue slide inside her mouth. Her hands grabbed my shoulders to close the gab between us.

Her hands moved to get my shirt off fully. Our bodies moved, my head now leaning against the headboard. "Do you have condoms?" She asked, getting on my lap and teasing me with her hand. "Alli's room." I said, kissing her again. "Should we get them?" She asked, leaving wet kisses on my shoulder.

I nodded, sighing. "Just a second." I said, putting her body on the bed. I walked out of the room, towards Alli's. I opened her nightstand cabinet, finding already opened wrappers of condoms. I raised my eyebrows, shaking my head. I looked around the room and spotted the box on top of her closet. I grabbed it and got out a few condoms before rushing back to my room. I closed the door behind me and Emma looked at me. "That's a lot of condoms." She said.

"You were planning on doing a lot to me, weren't you?"

Allison Daniels

I unlocked the front door, stepping inside. I had just went out for lunch with Brooklyn and she had now dropped me off at my house.

I looked at my phone and noticed a few messages from Connor. I pushed the door closed with my foot and walked into the kitchen. "Afternoon." Ben said. I hummed in response, not looking up from my phone as I messaged Connor back. "Alli."

"What?" I asked, now looking up. "You wanted to meet Emma, right?" He asked and then I noticed the pink haired girl sitting on the counter. "Hi." She said.

"Hey." I said. "I've been wanting to meet you, but he just always avoids the topic." I said, pointing at my brother. "That is because we weren't dating."

"Okay, so-" My mouth fell open. "You are dating, aren't you?"

Ben nodded and Emma put her arms around his torso. "Oh my fucking God, you listened to me for once." I said, grinning. "What?" Emma asked.

Benjamin cleared his throat. "Nothing, is Connor coming?"

"Weren't you tired of him?" I mocked, poking his sides. "Alli, he's my best friend, I'm always tired of him. But, I love him."

"Cute." I said, getting out my phone. "He'll be here soon. Now, what did you guys do?"

Ben's cheeks turned pink and Emma avoided all eye-contact. "Okay, clear." I said, plopping down on a chair. "What did you and Brook do?" Ben asked, taking Emma's hands. "We baked cupcakes."

"Oh, are there any left?"

"No, we ate them all." I said, grinning at his face of disappointment.

The doorbell rang and I shot up. "That's Connor."

I strolled to the door and opened it, only to get kissed immediately. "Whoa, hold your horses." I said, putting my hands on his chest. He pouted his lip, putting on his puppy eyes. I kissed him briefly, only for him to kiss me longer after. "Okay, okay, come on. Emma's here."

He frowned as I pulled him along to the kitchen. I stopped as I saw Ben kissing his girlfriend like his world depended on it. "So, we could've kissed longer?" Connor whispered, putting his arms around my waist.

Ben and Emma pulled away. "Sorry guys." Ben said and looked at Connor. "Boy, we need to talk."

Connor frowned and I put my head against his arm. "About?" He asked and Ben looked at me. "You have to clean your cabinets." He said, but turned back to Connor. "Come on." He said, pulling Connor away from me.

"Good luck." Emma and I said at the same time.
