But one night, so he wouldn't lose his mind, he met his friends at the commons. He needed some fun.
Of course Keira was there as well.
Keira: We can't lose because I don't want to get drunk next to you again.
Ben: even if you get drunk again, I won't do anything. I really thought you wanted me that night.
Keira went silent and shook her head, as if she was trying to delete that night from her head. She won't fall to his pretty looks again.
Ben: are you sure you want to win this?
Keira: I'm a pro. I'm worried about you losing than me.
Ben: I'm not sleeping with you again.
Keira: As if I want to sleep with you again.
and she got it right and Lucas had to drink it.
Ben: You are actually good.
Keira beamed, it was the first time Ben saw her actually smiling like that.
That made him smile tenderly, maybe Juniper was right. Maybe he falls too easy and too fast... too hard.
They kept playing and the last ball it was Keira who scored. They won barely without drinking anything.
Keira, without thinking, threw herself to Benjamin.
Then embarrassement filled her and she blushed.
She pushed away and Ben had a pained expression. So many things he wanted to say, to ask. He opened his mouth to finally say something, but she interrupted.
Keira: I'm sorry. I shouldn't've done that.
Ben: but you did. Why is that?
Keira: I didn't plan on throwing myself at you, Benjamin.
Ben: you never mean anything, Keira. It's alwyas my fault.
Keira: good night, Ben. See you around.
