Meet me tomorrow

Tables

A/N Okay, this is Rey's bedroom as promised. Rey has a nice apartment! Anyway, I'll try to do one or more chapters for today? Depends. Anyway, have a great day everyone! 

Justin, as it turned out, loved to cuddle. She wondered how Ben got any sleep at all even when Justin was barking up a thunderstorm. Every time he jumped up on the pullout couch, she would shove him off. And yet, every time, he would run to the other side and jump up. It was like a game to him. A game she didn't feel like playing at this time of day. She eventually gave in, and let him sleep with her. 

Rey awoke an hour later and looked over at Justin. He was snoring and his legs were in the air. A silent smell came and assaulted her nostrils. She instantly coughed. 

"God! What on earth is he feeding you?" Rey hissed as she gasped for fresh air. Oh yes. Ben Solo was GOING to pay for THIS. 

Ben slowly willed his eyes to open and realized, he wasn't in his apartment. Then he remembered that Rey had agreed that it was fair that he get some sleep and that Justin be near Sasha. He pulled on a shirt and sweatpants and found a note waiting for him on the counter. 

He picked up the sticky note and read it. "I've gone to work, Ben. I didn't have the heart to wake you up, you looked so peaceful. Don't worry about Justin, I just have one question. WHAT are you FEEDING him? Anyway, can you meet around noon? Coffee is in the pot and I made some eggs for breakfast which are in the microwave. Thanks. Rey." 

Ben downed his breakfast, got dressed and fed both dogs, who were both side by side. He bolted towards his office. 

Ben sunk heavily at his desk. He had barely slept. Despite Justin being with Rey, he still couldn't sleep. Maybe it was because his bed had been weirdly empty. Ben sighed as he flicked on his desk lamp. He squinted, and frustrated, got up to get another cup of coffee. 

The break room coffee wasn't good, but it wasn't bad, and he had gotten used to it. He was so desperate for caffeine he went so far that he added cream AND sugar to his coffee. Typically, he liked his coffee dark. And dark only. "Like his soul." His co-workers teased. 

"Rough night?" 
Ben looked up to see his red head associate, Armitage Hux entering the break room. he had obviously had time to stop to get a fancy coffee from a cafe this morning, a branded cup in his hand. He sipped it nonchalantly as he placed his lunch bag in the break room fridge. 

"Something like that." Ben murmured as he stirred his coffee. 

"Cream AND sugar? Something must be wrong." Hux commented, sitting next to him. "What's going on?" 

Ben sighed. "You.. wouldn't understand. You don't have a dog." 

"I have a cat." He shrugged, "this is about pets?" 

"Yes. Though I don't think cats keep their owners up at night." 

"Oh but they do. Millicia sometimes cries for food at 4 in the morning if she's peckish." 

"This isn't about hunger. Well, not FOOD hunger.. Justin met a dog at the park a few weeks back and mounted the poor thing in front of everyone. Now that dog is pregnant and she's going to be having 4 puppies in a couple of weeks." 

"Well I think you should have neutered your dog." Hux said, sipping his coffee. Ben glared at him. 

Later, he remembered the note. He should go see Rey. He packed up his briefcase and walked out of the building. He searched through his phone numbers and found Rey's. 

"Hello?" 

"Hey Rey. It's me." 

Rey laughed.
