"That was so beautiful" I said not taking a smile of my face, I was still worried what is Ben going through at the moment, but I tried to hide it in front of him
"I'm glad you liked it" he said smiling as he took my hand and left a kiss on the top of it
"Since it's not time for sleep yet, what would you like to do when we get back home?" he asked holding my hand while with the other one he was holding steering wheel
"Um.... just chilling on the couch with Oscar" I said, and he laughed
"okay" he said and kissed my hand once again
•••••••••••
"goodness" Ben mumbled putting hands on his ears and eyes as my phone started buzzing
"What a nice moment, whoever it is" he mumbled as I got away from his arms taking my phone
"it's Sophia" I said kissing him on cheek as I went to kitchen, of our just chilling on couch we ended up falling asleep
"hey" I said picking up the call as I sat on chair in the kitchen
"I woke you up" she said
"it's okay, what's up?" I asked
"Um...I wanted to ask if you have something planned for tomorrow or I can come to see you" she said
"Actually, Ben and I had planned a date tomorrow but since he has a match, we will just spend an evening at home so, yeah, you can come, I would like to see my best friend after a few weeks" I said
"And about match.... I won't go" she said surprising me
"What-why?" I asked confused
"Mason and I broke up" she said
"What?" I asked now even more confused
"I've been trying to stay in touch with him all the time, I was the one who was always starting conversations and he was always the one who end them, whenever I asked him for facetime, he always said that he is too tired and that all was happening in the last two months, I got it enough and I broke up with him, he didn't even complain" she said
"Soph....you know I am working with them, and I can tell you from first hand that past few weeks they were really busy, I had one of them every evening at house literally not in a mood for anything and I am sure for Mason was harder because he came home, he was all alone and he was missing you, of course he wasn't in a mood for anything" I said
"I asked him for facetime, so we could miss each other less but he declined it every time" she said
"Okay, Soph, I really don't know what is happening with him but if you will come tomorrow then you're also coming with me on the match and you will talk with him afterwards, okay?" I said not really wanting to hear her answer, she should know when I say something that it needs to be like that
"Then I am not coming, I don't want to talk with him Els" she said as I rolled my eyes
"We will talk tomorrow when you will be here, now good night" I said and hung up knowing she will complain until I don't end conversation
I walked back to Ben finding him sleeping while he was hugging Oscar that was lying beside him, just were I was until few minutes ago.
I didn't want to wake him up, so I just put blanket over him kissing him on the cheek and I went to our room.
I was lying on the bed looking at ceiling and hesitating to text Mason or not. I wanted to talk with him to see what he is up to and what is happening with him.
At the end I didn't call him, and I fell asleep to woke up with Ben's arms around my body pulling me closer to him.
"it's your birthday Els, you left me to sleep on couch and you got up here" he whispered hugging me
"You were sleeping so peacefully I didn't want to wake you up" I whispered back still not opening my eyes
"So, you would rather be sleeping alone?" he asked looking at me and I shrugged
"No, you would not" he said
"How would you know that?" I asked raising my eyebrow
"Let me tell you" he pulled me closer to him so our noses were touching what caused me to giggle
"See, you're much happier when I'm this close to you" he said almost on my lips
"That tickled me, not that I am happier since you came" I said
"Okay, we will see what you will think after this" he said and flipped us, so he was on the top of me kissing me gently as he interviewed out fingers beside my head
He kissed from my lips to my jaw and down to my neck where he left a hickey, but his kisses were the gentlest kisses ever.
"What do you think after this little treatment?" he asked looking me into eyes
"I think that I don't know how I will cover that mark tomorrow" I said
"That is not a mark, that's hickey, the sign that you're mine" he said
"Who said that I'm yours?" I asked
"You told me that yesterday and now with letting me leave a hickey on your neck" he said
"Okay you're right" I said few moments later
"I always am" he said before he brushed his nose over mine lying back beside me
"Can I give you a little treatment since you gave me one?" I asked
"of course," he smiled, and I sat on his lap before leaning in and kissing his lips for few seconds
I went down his jaw to his neck, just like he did to me. I left two hickeys on his neck, one next another.
"you're mine" I whispered onto his lips
"I'm yours and you're all mine" he said before throwing me beside him and pulling me into tight hug, in which I fell asleep
