I'll Get You Back (Bendystraw/Cendy Story)

Ch.13

Bendy POV

Cuphead and I stood by each other in the kitchen cleaning the plates the girls used to eat off of. It was a bit of awkward silence between us due to what happened last night. I couldn't help but feel the questions picking at my brain of what he thinks of what happened and how he's feeling. I also couldn't help but feel slightly guilty thinking I might have made him view me some other way then how I truly am. I didn't catch myself before the words slipped out.

"So what are you thinking?" I asked my eyes slightly widening realizing what I just said.

"I'm thinking," he said turning to look at me setting down the dish towel. "that you're feeling something to me, but you won't let yourself go there." I blushed looking up at him. Was I that readable? I feel like he'd know more things about me then I do about myself.

"Well I guess you're right.." I admitted looking forward at the dishes.

"Also considering the other night after the bar hinted to me about-" I quickly cut him off looking up at him.

"I was drunk!"

"No you were-"

"I was drunk." I said placing a hand on my hip.

"You were being yourself, and like my grandfather always said "A true man never kiss and tells."." He said which gave me a sense of relief that what happened will stay between us. Not that I thought he would go around telling people about the incident I just have such bad trust issues.

"Do you want to tell me what's really going on in your head?" Cuphead asked me as I felt my face heat up.

"I've never been good with emotions. So what I'm feeling is like a red flag for me, and last night, since I never have drank before, kind of had an effect on me." I admitted looking away but glancing back at him to see what he was thinking by his face. He looked sincere and concerned.

"I guess I couldn't resist how I felt.." I said softly looking down. It's true seeing this man got my heart racing a mile a minute, and how he was with his girls didn't help.

"Seeing you with your girls makes me happy. I rarely see a man work that hard to do things for his children. It's a nice change of view seeing how you are with them." He smiled at me nodding. I didn't notice till I felt his hand grasp mine as he got in front of me.

"Is that really how you see me? Or could you see me as something else to you?" He asked in a soft voice making me blush as I looked up at him. I watched as he leaned down closing his eyes and softly kissed me making my own eyes close feeling a warm tingling sensation in my chest. He pulled back looking away asking me "do you want me to stop?". I shook my head telling him no as I pulled him back into another kiss placing my hands on the sides of his face while he placed his own hands on my sides being extremely gentle. I didn't want it to end, this moment of his lips on mine, and the soothing feeling of his large hands on my waist. I felt a loss of my actions as my hands moved from his face down his chest making his breathing pick up. He pulled away from the kiss and grabbed my hands firmly but made sure not to hurt me as he looked down at me.

"Sorry Bendy, but I can't go any farther with my girls here. I do thank you for coming here tonight and being able to handle my girls sassiness." He said letting go of my hands as I brushed a strand of my fur back nodding.

"Y-yes of course." I said blushing a bright red as I straightened my posture. He chuckled.

"Do you need me to call your driver?" He asked me clearing his throat. Once again we were in another awkward moment.

"No I uh drove myself here." I told him. He nodded.

"Well let me walk you out." He said following me out the kitchen. I grabbed my coat off the couch as he helped me put it on feeling my stomach flutter. Is this what they mean when you get butterflies in your stomach which can be caused by that one person? Whatever it was tickled but felt nice. He walked me outside and down to the road where my car was parked by the sidewalk. I stood by the side as he opened the door for me. I started the car and drove away seeing him wave goodbye to me in the distance as I brushed the tips of my fingers against my lips smiling to myself.
