Maybe Something More | A Benjey Story

Chapter 11

P.O.V. Jorge

We are leaving for our trip today. I was excited to say the least. I mean I get to spend four whole days with Benji in one of the best places in the world. Not to mention the fact that we will be sleeping in the same room together... alone. I know I said I wouldn't try anything with Benji since he told me it's not what he wants, but god he's making it so hard. The way he makes me feel is so new. He makes me feel things I have never felt before and we aren't even romantically involved. As much as I want us to be. But I have a good feeling about this trip. A really good feeling.

I was on my way to the airport in an Uber with Alice. Benji didn't come with us because his dad was taking him. Apparently he had a business trip to attend to as well. Alice and I were talking about the trip currently. She says that we are going to be at a super nice hotel with huge rooms.

"So, are you excited to share a room with Benji?" she questioned, wiggling her eyebrows.

"Oh my god, Alice. Stop," I said giggling.

"You are!!!"
"Am not," I retorted.

"You so are. I see the way you look at him, boo. Don't even try to hide it. Maybe you could get it on with him, if you know what I mean," she said suggestively.

"Alice!!" I exclaimed.

"What?? You know he wants to as well," I shook my head at her statement, "Come on, Jorge. I am very observant. Not only do I see the way you look at him, I see the way he looks at you too. He likes you."

"No he doesn't. Stop trying to play cupid, Alice. He told me he doesn't want more than a friendship, and I have to respect that. So stop trying to get us together."

"Fine, but when you guys have your tongues down each other's throats, I will say 'I told you so'."

"Oh look, perfect timing. We're here!" I said ignoring her comment.

She laughed and rolled her eyes as she got out, and mouthed to me "You know I'm right".

We walked into the airport and met up with the rest of our co workers, including Benji. We were all so tired since it was literally 5 in the freaking morning. Benji was wearing a purple sweatshirt and some gray sweatpants. His hair was a bit unruly, but it made him look cute. Not that I noticed. He walked up to me and gave me a soft smile.

"Hey," he said, his voice deep because of how early it was.

"Hi," I smiled.

"You look nice," he said.

"You are so silly, Benjamin. I'm literally just wearing a t-shirt and shorts. Such a boring outfit. Complement me when I actually look good," I said playfully.

"Shut up, Jey. You always look good."

I blushed at his words. I was about to say something in response, but just then Alice started talking to our group.

"Alright guys listen up. Our flight takes off at 8. We need to get our bags checked, get through security and then you can get some breakfast really quick once we get to our terminal. Okay, let's get a move on, people," she said as we all headed towards the baggage drop off.

Time skip

We were supposed to stay with our partners for the whole trip, so anywhere I went, Benji had to come with me and vice versa. So Benji and I were on our way to get some coffee. I had just finished ordering for the both of us, when Benji pushed me aside and handed the cashier his card.
