💕If Only We Knew💕

The Beast

The next day...

I woke up the next morning really early. I got up and hopped in the shower, once I finished I washed my face, put lotion on, got changed and brushed my hair and teeth. Today I didn't feel like straightening my hair. So I put my wavy hair in a high pony tail leaving some strands in the front out. Today I was wearing white ripped shorts, a black crop top, my black converse and a white baseball cap. 

I took a look at myself in the mirror before walking out the door.  As I was walking down the hall way I smelt bagels, Mm! Bagels! I thought. I took off darting down the stairs and to the kitchen.

"Hungry?" My mom asked looking up at me.

"Yes I am! Really hungry." I replied licking my lips sitting down on a chair in the dining room.

She laughed and placed a plate of a blueberry bagel in front of me with some cream cheese. "Your welcome." She said backing up putting her hands on her hips awaiting for a reply. 

"Thanks!" I said before taking a huge bite out of the bagel. I heard my moms foot steps leave the dining table and into the kitchen.

I was taking my last bite when I heard a knock at the front door. My eye's widened, If it were one of the boys from the sandlot I would definitely not want my mom thinking anything.

I jumped up and screamed, "I'll get it!" 

I ran to the door and swung it open still chewing. In front of me stood Benny with his glove and bat. "Benny?" I asked swallowing the big chunk of food in my mouth.

Benny laughed and said, "I'm just here to pick you up." He smiled at me.

I laughed, "Hang on I'll get my glove!" I ran away from the door and ran up the stairs. I swung open my bedroom door and jogged over to my nightstand on the left of my bed. I opened the drawer and pulled out my glove.

As soon as I grabbed it I ran out closing the door behind me and knocked on the room across from mine that Matt was staying in. "Matt?" I asked waiting for a response. 

"I'm coming in!" I yelled opening the door. When I opened it Matt wasn't in there, all of his stuff was still lying there. So I knew he was still in California.

I ran back down stairs and gasped at the end of the stairs. My mom had invited Benny in, and she was talking to him! I ran up to my mom breaking whatever conversation they were having and asked, "Where did Matt go?" 

"Oh right!" Se said turning to me. "He went to the grocery store to pick up some stuff for me." She said looking back at Benny, she was about to open her mouth again when I interrupted.

"You didn't make him.. did you?". We agreed we'd be going to the sandlot together the next day, I thought.

"No! Of course not. " I rose an eye brow at her. "Fine maybe I did, but it's not like I forced him. He agreed." She said turning back around towards Benny.

"Anyways nice chat! I'll leave you guys to go hang out. Oh! By the way Matt decided he was going to help me today with some things." She walked off into the kitchen.

"Okay!" I quickly walked up to Benny and grabbed his hand in embarrassment. I can't believe my mom and Benny had a conversation. What was it even about? I opened the front door and walked out pulling Benny along. 

Benny shut the door and pulled his hand out of my grip like it was nothing. "Y/n." He said stopping me in my tracks. "Look, I get it. It's embarrassing, but trust me. She didn't say anything embarrassing about you." He said placing a hand on my shoulder. 

I turned around and looked at him. "You sure?" I asked starring up in his eye's. "I'm sure." He assured me before taking his hand off my shoulder. "Okay-" I said backing away.
