"Sure. How about the weather? It's such a nice day," I sang happily, throwing down my purse on the floor.
Benedict looked at me, his eyes wide. "Do you really not know?"
"Of course I know! That's why I'm here! I was just hounded by paparazzi walking into work and had a breakdown! My boss sent me home to rest!" I yelled, suddenly shaking my head and collapsing on Benedict on the couch. "I'm so sorry... I didn't mean to yell."
"There, there..." Benedict wrapped his arms around me, kissing the top of my head gently. "It's going to be okay."
"Benedict, it's too soon. I didn't even know they were watching us that day." I choked out, letting the tears stream down my face and onto his suit.
"They're always watching Ana. They're like hawks," He spoke in a low voice. "I'm actually surprised it took them this long to find out. A month has to be a record low for them."
"You're making it sound like you wanted them to find out..." I pushed myself off of him, wiping my eyes.
He didn't look as upset about it now, not like earlier anyway. And then there was me; A hot mess. My eyes were puffy and red, and my mascara was running down my face.
"No, it's not like that. Not at all." He sighed, pulling me close to him again. "I just knew it would happen eventually. It's happened before."
I looked up at him, grabbing a tissue and wiping my eyes. Then I blew my nose.
"I guess you're right. I probably should've been prepared."
"I don't know, maybe. I should've warned you though. I'm sorry." He said softly, his voice sounding comforting and sweet.
"Don't be sorry," I replied. "It's not your fault. Never blame yourself."
I smiled warmly at him, suddenly not feeling upset anymore. With his arms wrapped around me, I felt safe. I felt like no one could hurt me now.
"You're right. It's not either of our faults." I watched his gaze trail down the features of my face, landing right on the crevice of my lips.
"You're beautiful Ana. Never let anyone tell you different." He leaned in and kissed my lips softly.
I kissed him in response, allowing my hands to slide around to his back, gripping gently onto his jacket.
We kissed for what seemed like forever, and then he pulled away. The look left in his eye was lustful. I could tell that he wanted me, and lucky for him, I wanted him as well.
I leaned back in, kissing him a bit more passionately than before. My hands pulled at his suit jacket and his hands were tangled up in my hair.
Letting out a soft moan, my face went red. I hadn't really moaned during a kiss before.
Benedict chuckled and slid his long fingers down my back, taking the bottom of my uniform shirt and pulling it over my head.
I pulled away from the kiss, looking him in the eyes. "Bedroom. Now."
He nodded and picked me up, carrying me into the bedroom and laying me down on my bed.
Benedict took every piece of his clothing off slowly, sure enough trying to tease me. When he finally had it all off, I looked at what was before me.
"Not bad," I moaned out. "You're a lot more cut than I thought you'd be."
He came forward and I let my hands slide around his chest as he took the rest of my clothing off, his hands beginning to inspect every crevice on me.
"Are you sure this isn't too soon?" He whispered in a low voice.
I shook my head, smirking. "Nope-" The p made a popping noise, and he was on me before I could even finish the sentence.

We spent the rest of the day cuddling and talking, neither of us getting out of bed to put real clothes on.
The TV was on, but it was really just for background noise.
"Ana, you're amazing."
"Oh Benedict, I wish that I could say the same for you," I smirked.
We both laughed, letting our fingers intertwine. He kissed me softly.
"You. Me. The Oscars?"
I nodded softly, biting my lip. "Seeing as everyone knows about us now, I might as well go. I'm sure my boss won't mind. She seems to have a thing for you."
He laughed quietly. "Maybe if I give her an autograph, she'll give you the whole week off."
"I bet." I laughed and sighed, resting my head on his bare chest.
I could feel him breathing deeply, his chest moving my head up and down. When he laughed, it vibrated, and it only made me feel safer.
