Love At First Sight - Beau Bennett

Eleven

Beau and I ended up going to the gym in in CEC as Beau was getting picked up from there. I had always been a fitness freak so once I put on a lot of weight due to Brooke, I couldn't wait to loose it. Some of the other guys including Kris, Flower and Geno were also at the gym. Dating a player had its perks. I looked over at Kris who looked kinda upset. I went to the treadmill next to his and he smiled at me.

"What's up buttercup?" I asked making him laugh. I have no idea where that came from.

"Your friend stood me up. You know, that's the last time I like a single mom." I smiled sympathetically at him but he laughed. "I mean, she could have text to say whether she was going to turn up or not."

"She didn't text?" I said shocked. He shook his head and I lost my temper. I had been nice to Rosie until now, she has done this many times before. I got off the treadmill and went out the back before ringing Rosie.

"Hey Boo." She answered.

"Dont 'Boo' me Rosie."

"What's wrong Dan? I've never heard you like this?"

"You stood up my best friend? You could have text him!" I practically shouted down the phone.

"What was I meant to text him? 'Sorry Kris but I can't go out today because your friend Neal asked me to be his girlfriend?' Your not that smart are you?" Beau ran out and just stared at me.

"I may not be smart but I would never agree to go on a date with someone and stand them up because their friend asked me out. Rosie I know you liked James but it's common decency." Beau was whispering things too me but I literally couldn't hear him. I think he was telling me to hang up.

"Really? You would never do that? What about Jake? You were going to meet up with him in Starbucks and you blew him off for Beau!"

"I did not stand Jake up to go to Starbucks with Beau. I called and cancelled when Sid took me skating. Beau asked me to Starbucks after he knocked me over."

"Ok, so you may have told him. But would you like it if your just in Starbucks and the person that blew you off turns up with another guy?" I literally started getting so angry, I could feels tears running down my cheeks. "You have the perfect life Danielle. You have the famous brother, the money, the looks. You were just so scared of loosing Beau, your superstar boyfriend, so you decided to have a child with him." I burst into tears.

"That's not why Brooke was born. I wasn't scared of loosing Beau, I trust him enough to let him travel the world and not leave me."

"Who would want you though Danielle? The littlest things get you angry and you end up crying. I'm surprised you've kept Beau for so long. You're practically worthless." She hung up and I dropped my phone, not caring if it smashed. Why are girls so bitchy. Beau hugged me and I cried into his shirt. Maybe she was right. I pulled away from Beau and he looked confused as I cried into my hands.

"Babe what's wrong? What have I done?" He asked walking closer to me.

"Why are you still with me Beau? I'm every mans worst nightmare! I cry too much, I look atrocious and I'm a mess."

"Your none of those things Dan. I don't know what that girl told you, but your perfect to me. It shouldn't matter what anyone else thinks. Your beautiful, funny, kind, caring. Look, the list could go on. Your said that you trusted me, well do you trust me enough when I say those things?" I nodded slightly and he pulled me into him. "I want you to come to Boston with me. I can't leave you like this."

"Your mom is staying over so I'll be ok. I promise Beau." He kissed my head but didn't letme go. "Beau you need to get changed into your suit." He sighed and walked away to get changed. I walked back into the gym area and saw Beau and Kris talking. I jumped back on the treadmil and Kris stood next to me in his suit. "Hey Krissy."

"Beau told me what happened with you and Rosie." I looked down and gulped. "You didn't have to. I wasn't upset about it Danielle. What has made me upset is the things that she said to you. You're my best friend Dan, you've been the one that's made me feel at home so after Beau told me what he heard Rosie say to you, it really hurt me." I turned off the treadmil and stood still.

"What exactly did he tell you?" I said looking at him.

"That she called you worthless, that she said how you're scared to lose Beau, how you aparently blew someone off for Beau. You're not worthless Danielle, you're anything but worthless. Look, you're my best friend and I love you, so please, so if anyone says anything to you ever again, just tell me. That Rosie chick meant nothing. I just wanted to grab a coffee with someone, the guys were all busy and I gathered that you and Beau would have been busy creating life." We both laughed and he hugged me "Now, I need to go but I want you to constantly text me and tell me how little Brooke is doing. And of course how you are doing." I nodded and he walked out behind Marc-Andre. Beau walked over to me and hugged me before placing a kiss on my lips.

"Be safe. Have a good game and score a goal for me." I said making him laugh.

"I'll try." We said our goodbyes and he walked out to the bus. I got changed into some sweats and Beau's hoodie before ringing his mom to pick me up. I went out to the front of the CEC to see Louanna stood holding Brooke. I walked over and smiled as Lou handed me Brooke.

"How was my baby." She asked making me laugh.

"He was fine, he just worked out before going on the bus." She smiled and I looked down at Brooke and saw her looking up at me. "How was my baby?" I asked making her laugh.

"She was great. She didn't really cry much." I smiled at my baby and we walkled to Louanna's car.

"Did Beau cry when he was a baby?" I asked making her shake her head.

"Not that I can recall. He was always a quiet child." I placed Brooke in her carseat and sat in the back with her.

"She must take after Beau then. I used to cry a lot when I was a baby aparently." We both laughed slightly and we made our way back to the apartment. When we got in, we went to our floor and Louanna decided to make some food for us. I placed Brooke in her little travel cot and went into the kitchen to speak to Louanna. "Hey Lou." She smiled and continued to make the pasta. "Be honest with me Lou. What was your reaction when Beau told you that I was pregnant?" I asked. I really want to know.

"I obviously didn't know you much. I think that I was upset at the fact that we didn't know each other. I wanted you to feel like you could stay with us or that you could just talk to us. I was kinda worried that maybe something would have happened with you and Beau and that we possibly wouldn't be able to see Brooke. I know now that you would never do that but it was still scary for us. I was going to tell Beau how I felt but I saw his face when he told us and I just couldn't. But now I can see how much he loves you and how much he loves Brooke. I'm actually so proud of the both of you." I hugged her and she smiled.

"How is Kirk and Bailey. I haven't seen them in ages." I asked.

"They are good thank you. Bailey misses you though. "I smiled and my phone buzzed.

"I'm really going to need to come to Cali some time. I don't think I've ever been." She nodded and plates up our food. I sat on the couch and played with Brooke as I read my text from Beau.

'From - BeauBennett
Hope ya'll are ok and that my mom is treating you well. You really should be here with me :( I miss you loads already and I can't stop thinking of you Danielle. Can't wait to be back home xx'

A tear formed in my eye as I read the text. Beau was really sweet at doing things like that. Louanna looked at me, obviously confused at why I was almost crying so I showed her the text and she smiled. I placed Brooke in her Bennett jersey and sent a picture to Beau.

'Reply
Your mom is being a darling. She just made me some pasta and chicken. I want to be there but you know that I can't travel with you for everything. I miss you loads too and your mom is probably fed up of me now as I'm constantly speaking of you XD See you in a few days. Also, Brooke is ready to support you guys! Tell Sid and Krissy that I said hi!xx'

I placed my phone down and picked up Brooke. I literally love this girl with all my heart. I'd don't regret it at all. I've said this so many times but she really looks like Beau. She was on my lap and giggling at something. Louanna sat next to me and smiled at Brooke.
