From the Point of View of Xavier James
"I can't wait for you to see what I've planned for us tonight." Ben smiled as he grabbed my hand and stared at me as we landed in Philadelphia.
"Ben, I can't go out looking like this..."I sighed as I put my head on his shoulder.
"That's why I got you a new suit. It's red and it should fit you perfectly," he smirked.
Even though I rolled my eyes at him, I was so happy to be in the presence of my loving boyfriend. After all, I have been through, I could not help to feel grateful for such a wonderful and caring man in my life. This man went out of his way to come and save me and on top of that, he risked his LIFE to save me. There were many times In my life when I thought I didn't deserve love because I was in such a low place. But now that I have been lifted out of the dark pit I was in, I now realize that love is a human right. I have never had anyone like Ben in my corner. I think back to the first time I met Ben, on the side of the interstate, he seemed like such a dick, but his charm and good looks saved him. I look back over that memory and I laugh, because to be honest, if it wasn't for Giannis, hiring Kendall, I would have never met Ben in the first place...
"What you thinking about?" Ben quizzed as we deboarded his private jet and hopped into his Rolls Royce.
"You, I'm just thinking of how much I love you." I said as I gazed at Ben, a tear rolled down one of my eyes.
"Awwww Baby Boy, I love you so much and I mean it.' Ben leaned over to the passenger seat and gave me a peck on the lips. He smiled and he cranked up the car.
We headed back to Casa Simmons it was around twelve o'clock and we had a couple of hours until the game. We were blessed and thankful that our home was still intact. Thankfully, Giannis didn't try to destroy our home since he lured us down to Georgia. I smiled because I was so happy to be back in a place that I called home. Once we arrived, I unpacked and I noticed that some of the things I had in my dorm room were now at Ben's house. I gave Ben a confused look and he smiled at me.
"What's wrong?" Ben asked with a smile.
"How did you get my things here from my dorm on campus?" I asked.
"I have my ways baby." he smirked as he walked over to me and grabbed my hand.
We stood in the foyer staring at each other. I was in awe that we have built such a strong, unbreakable relationship in only such a few short weeks. I was delighted to return to a place where I have accepted love for myself. Before Leonard or Ben, I felt like I didn't deserve love because I was always the culprit of failed relationships. I was always cheated on and I felt like I wasn't enough. I felt deep within myself that I was not enough, but I am blessed that God showed me that I was not the problem, it was who I was dating that was the real problem.
