Descendants // Ben [1]

The Date

Oh Hey Gabriella? Ben said. You can call me Gabby or Gabs. Well Gabby, I was wondering if you would go on a date with me? He said. Um sure. I said a bit nervous. You look nervous, do you not want to go. Ben said. No! I just haven't been on one. Don't worry, it will be fun. Meet you at your dorm? Yeah I said and he kissed my cheek.

I ran around finding Mal and I found her talking to Parker. Hi can I talk to you? I said grabbing her. What's wrong? She said. Ben asked me on a date. Let's go find Evie, see you later Parker? Yeah he said. Apparently, Parker helps Ben as a second in command or like a substitute.

There you are! We have been looking for you literally everywhere! Mal said. What's wrong? Evie said and I said, Ben just asked me out on...a date. Doug said, Nice. Evie said, We can handle this. Bye. Bye. Doug said. Evie said, You're looking a little pale. Yeah, of course. It's my first I said. I can fix that with some gloss and some blush. Evie said. Oh no said Mal.

We were at the dorm Mal was on her bed watching and Evie was doing my makeup.

Okay. Easy on the blush. I don't want to scare him away. Not that I could. I said. Please. My mom taught me how to apply blush before I could talk. Always use upward strokes. Evie said. I never had a sister. Only brothers. I said. Well, now you do. Said Mal.

You have two. We're going to need all the family we can get If we don't pull this off. My mother's not a barrel of laughs when she doesn't get her way. Just ask Snow White. Said Evie. Are you afraid of her? I asked. Sometimes. Are you afraid of your dad? Said Evie.

I just really want him to be proud of me. He gets so angry with me when I disappoint him. And sh... yeah, he's my dad, so I know he loves me... In his own way. But also I know he would never let me date Ben. Anyways his parents would hate me. Do you like Ben? Mal said. I shrugged but I meant yes.

Well, Come see. Evie said. Are we done? I said. Yeah. Mal said. Oh. I said. Evie said, I know. I look... I said. Say it. Mal said and I said, Not hideous. Not even close. Evie said. I heard a knock and opened it.

For the first time, I understand the difference between pretty and beautiful. I hope you like bikes. I blushed and he gave me a helmet. We got onto his scooter and I put my arms around his waist an we rode somewhere near the forest.

Tell me something about yourself that you've never told anyone. Um... My middle name is Gerta. I said. Gerta? He said. Yeah. Gerta. Just my dad doing what he does best. Being really, really evil. Gabriella Gerta. I said. Mine's Florian. He said.

Florian? I said and he said, Yeah. How princely. Oh, that's almost worse. I said. I mean, you know, It's better than Gerta. But it's still not... He said and he soon helped me from where we are going since he had me close my eyes.

Watch your foot. He said. Yeah. I said.Are you good? He said. Mm-hmm. I said. Ben said, Now, step up. There you go. You ready? Mm-hmm. I said. Open. Go on. He said holding me. Mm... I opened and it was a beautiful lake with a waterfall.

Is this your first time? Ben said. Mm... We don't really date much on the island. It's more like... Gang activity. I said. Um, I meant, is this your first time eating a jelly donut? He said. Is it bad? I asked. Ben said, You got a... Just a... I mean, yeah, do this.

Mm-hmm. Gone? You can't take me anywhere, I guess. I said. Ben said, You know, I've done all the talking. Your turn. I really don't know that much about you. Tell me something.

Well, I'm 16. I have two older brothers and a twin brother. And I've only ever lived in one place. I said. Me, too, except the brothers, That... we have so much in common already. He said.

I laughed. No. Trust me, we do not. And now you're gonna be king. I said. Ben said, Yeah. What? I said. Ben said, A crown doesn't make you a king. Well, it kind of does. I said. Our parents are enemies, But we're not automatically like them. We get to choose who we're gonna be. And right now, I can look into your eyes and I can tell you're not evil. I can see it. He said.

Please Trust me, I'm not who my dad is, I pretend, in front of him and my friends. But also my brothers. Your actually the only one who knows that. I said. I could already tell you aren't like him. Let's go for a swim. He said.

Hm? What? Uh... Right now? I said. Yeah, right now. Ben said. I think I'm just gonna stay here. I said. Ben said, No, no, no. Come on. I think I'm gonna stay behind and try a strawberry. I've literally never tried a strawberry before. Mm! Mm... I said.

Ben said, Don't eat all of them. I said, Okay. Ooh! Mm. I soon got up and saw him in his swimsuit. He was hot without his shirt on. Are those little crowns on your shorts? I yelled. Maybe. Whoo! Ben said and I laughed, Ha-ha! I then felt terrible for what I was doing since I really did fall in love with him.

♫ A million thoughts in my head ♫
♫ Should I let my heart keep listening? ♫
♫ Cause up 'til now, I've walked the line ♫
♫ Nothing lost but something missing ♫
♫ I can't decide what's wrong, what's right ♫
♫ Which way should I go?

♫ If only I knew what my heart was telling me ♫
♫ Don't know what I'm feeling ♫
♫ Is this just a dream? ♫
♫ Ah oh, yeah ♫
♫ If only I could read the signs in front of me ♫
♫ I could find the way to who I'm meant to be ♫
♫ Ah oh, if only ♫
♫ If only ♫
♫ If only ♫
♫ If only ♫

♫ Every step, every word ♫
♫ With every hour I'm feeling in ♫
♫ To something new, something brave ♫
♫ To someone I've never been ♫
♫ I can't decide what's wrong, what's right ♫
♫ Which way should I go ♫

♫ If only I knew what my heart was telling me ♫
♫ Don't know what I'm feeling ♫
♫ Is this just a dream? ♫
♫ Ah oh, yeah ♫
♫ If only I could read the signs in front of me ♫
♫ I could find the way to who I'm meant to be ♫
♫ Ah oh, If only ♫
Yeah ♫

♫ Am I crazy? ♫
♫ Maybe ♫
♫ We could happen ♫
♫ Yeah ♫
♫ Will you still be with me ♫
♫ When the magic's all run out? ♫

♫ If only I knew what my heart was telling me ♫
♫ Don't know what I'm feeling ♫
♫ Is this just a dream? ♫
♫ Ah oh... ♫
♫ If only I could read the signs in front of me ♫
♫ I could find the way to who I'm meant to be ♫
♫ Ah oh... ♫

♫ If only, yeah ♫
♫ If only, yeah ♫
♫ If only, yeah ♫
♫ If only, yeah ♫

♫ If only ♫
♫ If only ♫

Ben? Ben? Ben! I yelled. I soon jump in the water but me being an idiot I forgot I didn't know how to swim. Soon I felt strong arms come up under me. I coughed and I felt a kiss on my head. You scared me! I said.

You... you can't swim? Ben said. No! I said. You live on an island! Ben said. Yeah, with a barrier around it, remember? I said. And you still tried to save me. Ben said. Yeah. But also I'm soaking wet I said. Oh um, here this fancy rock. It's yours. Make a wish and throw it back in the lake. I wished that he would still love me after this.

What... Uh, Gabby... I told you that I loved you. What about you? Do you love me? He asked. I don't know what love feels like. I said. Maybe I can teach you he said putting his hand under my chin and soon kissing me.
