Ben smiled as he heard her, "I am glad I met you too." he said softly and knew if he hadn't he would never have the life he had now, one with a good future. Pulling the blankets over them, he smiled hearing her and kissed her nose, "I look forward to my future with you." he said to her softly before pulling her close and falling alseep besides her.
|
Elizabeth laid there with him as she smiled and looked at him before closing her eyes. Her hands stayed on his chest as he pulled the blanket over them. She fell asleep after hearing his words and dreamed of a happy future with him at her side.
|
Ben smiled as he held Elizabeth and after a while woke up to the smell of food. He was starving after last night and wanted something to eat more then anything. Yet as he looked down at Elizabeth, he knew he couldn't leave her yet. Kissing her cheek, he held her close as he waited for her to wake up.
|
She started to stir as the sun shined in her eyes. Elizabeth opened her eyes slowly as she opened her eyes. Her hand rubbed her eyes as she yawned and looked at him. "Hi..."
|
Ben smiled as he saw her open her eyes and kissed her cheek, "hey." he said softly as he looked into her eyes, "how did you sleep?" he asked her softly.
|
Her eyes went to him as he kissed her cheek and smiled softly. "Good. Very content." Elizabeth said softly as she kissed his lips and nuzzled him slightly.
|
Ben smiled as he nuzzled her back after he kissed her, "good." he said to her softly as he kept her close. "after last night I would hope that you would sleep good." he said as he smiled down at her.
|
Elizabeth rubbed his chest as she he kissed her back. She smiled and looked at him as he spoke. Her eyes closed as she giggled and nodded as she held onto him. "I did. Thank you. Being with you was more than enough to make me comfortable."
|
Ben smiled as he felt her rub his chest and purred softly. "I'm glad that I make you comfortable." he said to her softly as he started to stroke her head gently, "I think Amber made food if your up for some food." he said as he kept her close to him.
|
She looked at him and smiled as he purred for her. "You're welcome." Elizabeth said as he stroked her head. Her eyes went to him as she laid there with him. "I'm not really hungry but we can go downstairs if you want to." The brunette said as she wondered how her father was doing because even though he accepted Eric...the murder of that couple seemed to hurt his approval of Eric.
|
Ben smiled as he held her close and continued to stroke her head. "we dont have to go downstairs if you wont want too." he said ot her softly and then kissed her cheek gently. He then smiled down at her and saw that she seemed to be lost in thought. "what are you thinking about?" he asked her softly.
|
Her eyes went to him as he stroked her head. "We should. You need to eat since last night." She said before kissing his cheek and rubbing his chest. Elizabeth sighed a little as he asked what she was thinking about. "Dad..." The brunette said softly.
|
Ben smiled at her, "but you dont have to if you dont want too." he said as he purred softly from teh kiss on the cheek and as she rubbed his chest. THough when he heard her, he pulled her close, "if you want, we could get a phone so that you could call him." he said to her softly.
|
Elizabeth kissed him and smiled as she looked at him. "I'll go down with you." She said to him as her hands stayed on his chest. "That would be fine." Her eyes went to him as he held her close. "We should get dressed so we can go downstairs."
|
Ben smiled as he kissed her back and nodded, "okay." he said softly and smiled as he looked down into her eyes. "Amber has a few phones that can't be traced, I am sure you can use one and your father will be happy to hear from you." he said as he smiled at her and then nodded. "we probably should." before kissing her and he forced himself to pull away from her. Heading over to the drawers, he found them filled with clothing and pulled on some that fit before waiting for Elizabeth.
|
She nodded and looked at him as she smiled. "I hope he is. He took it really hard when Mom died." Elizabeth tried not to think about that day as she kissed him back. Her eyes went to him as she stood and walked over o the closet to look for some clothes to wear. The brunette brushed out her hair as she looked at the clothes she found.
|
Ben nodded and pulled her close to him for a second, "I am sure he will be happy to hear that your okay and to know your safe." he said and kissed her head before letting her go to the closet. "I am going to head downstairs and grab you a phone to use and see if Amber has our papers in order." he said and kissed her cheek before heading downstairs. He found Amber at the table drinking some coffee, a folder laid on the table and on top were two rings. "that is everything you need." she said as she smiled at him. Ben smiled and hugged her, "thanks, this means a lot." he said before grabbing a phone and heading upstairs and smiled as he set it down next to Elizabeth.
|
Her eyes closed as he he pulled her close as she smiled a little. "You're right." Elizabeth looked at him as he moved from the closet. "Okay. I'll be here." She said before pulling on her bra and panties. She thought for a moment as she braided her hair. The brunette pulled on a tight blue shirt before looking at Ben as he set the phone down. "Thank you." She looked at the phone as she took a deep breath.
|
Ben gently wrapped a arm around her and pulled her close to him. "dont worry, everything is going to be fine, he is going to be happy to hear from you." he said to her softly and kissed her head. "do you want me to stay here when you call or go?" he asked as he looked down at her and hoped that she would be okay. He knew that calling her father was stressing her out and hoped the call her calm her.
|
Elizabeth felt calmer as he wrapped his arm around her and held her close. She nodded and closed her eyes as he kissed her head. "Please, stay..." Her eyes went to to his before she looked away and took a deep breath as she dialed his number. The brunette felt her stomach tighten as it rang. Her father picked up on the second ring. "Miriam?" He asked as a tear rolled down her cheek. "Hi, Daddy."
|
Ben nodded as he held her close to him and kissed her head again, "everything is going to be fine." he said to her softly before she dialed her fathers number. He held her as he waited for her father to pick up and smiled when he heard her father. Holding her close, he kissed her head and smile as he gently wiped a tear off her cheek.
|
She felt relax as he held her close to him. Miriam closed her eyes as her father asked her all sorts of questions. "Are you hurt? Where are you? Is Eric with you? Are you coming home?" Her eyes went to Ben as she tried not to cry more. "I'm fine, dad. Yes, I'm with Eric but I can't say where. And I won't be coming home anytime soon. I want to stay with Eric. Please, understand." The brunette said before he sighed and hung up the phone. Elizabeth's eyes closed as she tried not to cry and leaned against Ben.
|
Ben stroked her head as she talked to her dad and when she looked at him, he smiled. Gently, he stroked her cheek as he tried to keep her calm as she talked to her father. Though when he hung up, he pulled her closer to him and kissed her head gently. "everything is going to be fine Miriam." he whispered to her and continued to whisper to her as he held her close to him and stroked her head. He wished that he could explain to her father and get him to believe what was happening. Yet he doubted anyone wanted to listen to someone they thought had killed a family.
|
Her eyes closed as she cried and held onto him as he held her. Elizabeth leaned against him as she tried to calm herself down. "I'm sorry, Ben. I tried..." She said as her eyes went to him. "I thought he would at least talk to me..." The brunette said softly.
|
Ben held her close to him and kissed her head. "I know you did, trying is all we can ever do sometimes." he said and then picked her up. Walking over to the bed, he sat down with her and set her in his lap. "and maybe he will talk to you in time. But right now he isn't sure how to deal with this." he said to her as he looked down at her. He felt horrible right now since he knew he had forced her to chose him or her family. Looking down at her, he kissed her head gently, "if you want to go back with him I will understand." he said to her softly.
