In a Heartbeat

Chapter 2

I was on my way to the arena. The 76ers are going up against the Warriors. I took and Uber there. Ben gave me an extra ticket to invite who ever. I decided to invite my friend Madison, she was free tonight. I'm sure you know her, Madison Beer. We haven't hung out in a while so I decided we could tonight. I went to my seat which was court side, that seems weird to say, I'm not above others or more rich than the rest of the world. These tickets were free so I ain't really complaining. Anyways I was waiting for her to get there and Jordan decided to text me.

Jordan- Hello
Jordan- so your just gonna ignore me now?

I'm not gonna deal with his bs right now so I didn't even care to respond. Madison then showed up, we hugged, cathed up, that typa stuff.
They than announced the warriors players. Then  the 76ers. Honestly it was uplifting to see Ben. When I see him I feel like I'm okay, like I don't have to give a damn about whoever, or worry about anyone. Yeah I think he's cute and maybe I wanted us to be more than friends but I kept that to myself. Yeah Madison knew but she doesn't tell anyone's business. That's why she's my bestie.

The players were warming up. So Ben decided to come up to me.

Ben- "Glad to see you made it."
Y/n- "you think I'd miss it."
Ben- "you didn't respond to me when I asked if you were coming."
Y/n- "shit sorry about that, I got distracted."
Ben- "I'll let you off the hook if you can do something for me."
Y/n- "depends on what it is"
Ben- "let's get something to eat after"
Y/n- "deal"
Ben- "deal, I better get back out there. I'll come get you after the game. "
Y/n- "k"
You smile while saying that
Madison- "what's going on there"
Y/n- "nothing"
Madison-"liar"
The sixers ended up losing. Madison left she said she had an emergency to go to but we can hang out soon. Ben found his way towards me. He said to fallow him. We ended up by the locker room. I waited outside obviously but I checked my phone and oh my god, 22 messages from Jordan. I just ignored him as usual.
Ben came out and the locker room then we were in our way. When we got to his car he opened the door for me.
Y/n-"what a gentleman"
Ben - "of course" he said while smiling.
On our way out there was like swarms of paparazzi.
Y/n- "damn there all here for you" I say while kinda laughing.
Ben-"both of us" he says while bringing the shade thingy down cause he seen that the flash was getting to my eyes. We made it out safely surprisingly.
Y/n- "so we're we going"
Ben- "I was thinking Chick-fil-A or In-N-Out, whatchu think"
Y/n- "uhhmm In-N-Out"
Ben- "In-N-Out it is" he said with a smile and pulling up the directions on his phone.

When we pulled up he asked me what I wanted I told him, then he ran in to go get it. I smiled as he walked off.
Honestly he makes me feel some type of way, not tryna sound cheesy but god.
He came out with our order and he told me he got an extra order for later if I get hungry.
Y/n- "you didn't have to get me another one"
Ben-"shush and eat yo food girl"

So this is it, I'm not complaining at all, I like how he chose the most simple thing ever. He knows I don't do good in large crowds nor do I like attention from people who I wish not to entertain. He's a gentleman, sweet, and he can take a joke.

Out of nowhere my phone started ringing, we both looked at it at the same time. You guessed it, Jordan.
Y/n- "man can I catch a break" you say while declining his call.
Ben-"who is that?"
Y/n- "My ex" I say while rolling my eyes
Jordan called again
Ben-"what does he want?" You can tell he was getting mad
Y/n- "he's mad because I'm with you" I decline his call once more then turn off my phone.
Ben- "are you like together"
Y/n- "hell no, he just can't seem to move on"
Ben- "how does he even know we're together right now" he said while letting out a little chuckle
Y/n- " there is probably pictures of us together roaming around twitter or something" I then let out a sigh.
Ben-"I'm sorry that tonight is kinda ruined now"
Y/n- "no no it's not I just wish we could walk out onto the street without cameras flashing in our faces you know?"
Ben-" I thought tonight was gone, but yeah I get it fame can be a bitch."
Y/k- "so where to now"
Ben-"ima give you a ride home. You look tired"

On the way home I just got lost in my thoughts. Did I treat Jordan wrong. Am I ever gonna be good enough for Ben. Or Kelly, I haven't talked to him in about 2 days and I'm already losing my shit. I swear that guy keeps me sane sometimes.
As we pulled up to my house Ben got out and opened my door.
Y/n-" you gonna come in" I said while smiling.
Ben-"yeah" he said while smiling also and his voice got higher.
When we got into the house I noticed it looked plain. No art, no pictures, just plain.
Ben- "nice"
Y/n-"it can be"
Ben plopped on the couch
Ben-"whatcha wanna do"
Y/n- "I'm gonna go change and we can watch a movie"
Ben- "sounds good to me"
When I went upstairs to my room I changed like I said I was gonna do. Brushed my teeth, that typa stuff.
When I came back down I was surprised to see Ben asleep. So like any good person I asked him if he wanted to lay down in my room. Since there was no guest room and I wasn't gonna have him sleep on the couch. He said yeah. So we went upstairs and he took of his jacket, shoes, and his chains. He laid down and made himself comfortable. It's a good thing I have a King size bed, he's a big dude. I turned on my phone and plugged it in. Then I laid down next to him.
I felt safe, protected. I haven't felt this feeling in a long time. Ben moves around in his sleep a lot because somehow he was holding me while I tried falling asleep . I was facing him though. I just looked at him admiring everything about him. Eventually I dozed off.

(Side note- ok this may not make sense but I'm trying. And I use "I", "then" a lot like wtf.)
