Heya, lol,
last chappie was one of my faves; this one kind of pales in comparison. Thanks
4 the reviews, but I just have to say to Bens Babe-I didn’t get the idea from a
Ben interview, it was something I remember reading that Sammie had written in
an email, it’s just a lucky coincidence *coughs*yeah*coughs*right*coughs* that
Ben likes it too *waits for Sammie to slap her* hope you enjoy & pwease
review more, I love getting them!
Sammie was still giggling from the champagne
as Ben led her out to the beach, where a boom box was set up. He waited until
they were by it and stopped her from walking further. He turned to face her and
offered her his hand.
“Want to dance?” he asked, his eyes sparkling. Sammie
stopped giggling and nodded. He turned on the boom box and slipped in ‘Laundry
service’ by Shakira, then put his hands on Sammie’s hips. She wrapped her arms
around his neck and snuggled into the nape of his neck. He pulled her closer
and whispered
“I don’t think you’re supposed to slow dance to this
sort of song” he looked over at the boom box where ‘objection (tango)’ was playing. Sammie continued
swaying. He laughed to himself. “You are so drunk” he murmured.
“No I’m not!”
“Yes you are my little lightweight”
She laughed and snuggled further
into him. He pulled her closer still, wrapping his arms around her back, and
resting his head on hers. They carried on swaying to the album, just enjoying
each other’s company. As ‘underneath your clothes’ started, Ben started singing
along. Sammie closed her eyes blissfully. He sang along to the rest of the
album, and even when the CD stopped, he carried on singing. He had started on ‘if
you were my girl’, even if it was
Christian’s song, he felt like singing it at that point in time. His voice
faded as he finished the song, and he pulled away from Sammie slightly.
“Still out of your head?”
“Nope, you’ve sobered me up”
“Yeah, sure. If you’ve got a hangover then you’re
sobering up”
“So I’m still
drunk? Oh, well, at least I have that to look forward to”
“Yes you do. Lightweight”
“By the way, that was beautiful”
“Thanks, I’ll say it again then. Lightweight”
“No!” Sammie dissolved into giggles again “I meant you
singing along, and then doing Christian’s song. It was amazing”
Ben smiled.
“Thank you my darling”
“Benji, I’m tired. And sleepy”
“And most of all-drunk”
“Benji I mean it, I want to go to bed”
Ben nodded and switched off the
boom box. He wrapped his arms around her shoulders and led her back to her
hotel room. He opened the door awkwardly, and pulled her in gently.
“Oooh, fondue!” Sammie gasped, looking around at what
Ben had had sent up, and was now on the bedside table.
“Yeah, I asked them to bring it up. Are you too tired
to have some?” he asked, spearing an apple slice and dipping it into the molten
chocolate.
“No, I want some” she argued, falling onto her bed. Ben
let the chocolate harden and sat on the bed, then fed her it. She smiled.
“Thank you Benji”
“No problem, you’re my date, I have to treat you right”
he said as he repeated the process with a strawberry.
“No wonder girls fancy you. It’s kind of hard not to
when you act like this”
“Do you like me like that then?” He asked, not hiding
the hope in his voice, while scooping up some chocolate covered cherries and
popping them in Sammie’s mouth.
“Would it really matter? Aren’t you going to eat some?”
Ben ate a piece of banana and got another strawberry for Sammie. She had fallen
asleep. Ben blew out the flame on the fondue set, pulled off Sammie’s shoes,
pulled her covers over her and kissed her forehead before eating the strawberry
himself and making his way to the door. As he left her room he heard her murmur
“I forgive you Benji”
He smiled at her and shut her
door, making his way to his own room.
