"You know damn well that we are not just friends" he says, causing my heart to pound inside of my chest

"No i don't" i stutter, avoiding eye contact

I grab my cheeks with his warm hands and pull me closer to him. He looks at me deep in the eyes. His look goes down on my lips and back up on my eyes. My heart is pounding so hard inside of my chest that i wonder if he can hear it beating. His thumb passes on my left cheek.

"You have a little lash on your cheek" he show me his thumb with my lash on it "Make a wish"

I close my eyes and lowkey hesitate on my wish. But finally wish that i'll never loose Chris and the boys. I open my eyes and blow the lash off Chris' thumb. He is smiling at me

"What did you wish ?" he asks

"The wish is supposed to stay a secret, you know ?" i roll my eyes

"I know it was about me, i can tell, you're blushing" he giggles and pinch my cheek

"I'm not ! It's that i'm hot" i hide my cheeks with my hands

"Yes you are..." he smirks

"Ew gross !" i exagerate "Get outta here, go back to your room" i push him out of the kitchen

"I was just kidding !" he says grabbing the doorframe "Maybe not..." i push him harder "Wait ! I left my Pepsi can on the counter"

I go get it and throw it to him. He closely catches the can and leave the kitchen after he called me crazy. I finally get my phone and call Benji. He answers the call:

"Hi bestie !" he says, imitating my voice

"Hi Benji, can you please pick me up from the Sturniolos ? I just sent you the address"

"Yes, of course ! Anything for my girl" he answers

"Who is it ?!" says another voice behind the phone

"Wait a sec, Ivy" he gets the phone away "It's Ivy" Benji answers to the other person

"Ugh...what does she want ? I swear she is always calling you...Doesn't she have a life ?" i recognize a female voice even if it's not so loud, probably Cindy

"Hey, don't talk about her like that !" says Benji which makes me smile, he's a good friend

"Sorry...daddy" she answers almost causing me to throw up

"Ok so, coming to get you in like 20 minutes" he tells me, this time

"Alright but don't bring her with you" i order

"At your command !" he says before he hang up

The doorbell rings, i rush to the door and open it. Benji's cute face appears. I hug him, he answers my hug and lift me up a bit.

"Hi, mister. How are you doing ?" i ask him

"Wonderful ! I went out with the boys and Emma" he answers with a bright smile

"Nice, for myself, i went to work and i hanged out with the triplets" i let him enter "GUYS, BENJI IS HERE !" i shout so everyone come out of their room

Everyone gets reunited in the kitchen. I introduce Benji to the triplets and Alahna since it's the first time they really meet. We all start chatting and talking about life and school. Half an hour after, it's time for us to go.

"Alright, bye guys" i hug everyone

"See ya, it was a pleasure to meet you" says BJ waving at everyone

We both left the house and hop in Benji's car. I fasten my seatbelt and we get on the way.

"What did you think about them ?" i ask waiting for my friend's approval

"They were really nice and funny...it's just the Chris guy...I'm keeping an eye on him" he says the hand on the wheel

"Why ? What's wrong with Chris ? He is nice, just like his brothers...You don't like him ?" i start panicking

"Yo...chill ! It's just that he is clearly into you, i don't want him to steal you from me..." he says giving me a quick look

"What ? No !" i blush "He is not into me at all, it's just his normal attitude...Nothing to keep an eye on..." i mumble

"That's still super suspicious, but anyways wanna sleep over my house tonight ?" he asks after he checked his watch

"Yep, but ain't your brother home ?"

"No, he's going to a party tonight and my parents are still on their work trip..."

"Nice !"

***

I'm in one of Benji's pyjamas. I'm about to go sleep in Benji's brother room but i have to take my pills. I go down to the kitchen and get me a large glass of water. Today was pretty exhausting but fun. Benjamin is sleeping, we spent the night playing video games and eating snacks. I swallow the pill and go back to my bed which is actually not mine.

(Boston, Massachusetts)

I slightly open my eyes. Ugh, i have to go to work today. All of sudden, i feel a body on my right. No way, Benji sneaked in my bed. I turn towards him and slaps his little face. He slightly opens his eyes, groaning like a fucking bear. Wait a fucking minute...That's not Benji...
