Chapter 24

Picture of Ben on the side......that is what I have been kinda imaging him to look like.....this chapter has mature content in it so consider yourself warned. Please if you are reading, vote takes a second and comment. It motivates me to write and to get excited to continue with the story.......Thanks for the continues support!

"So how are things going?" Ben asked sipping on his wine that Ella had just poured him. "Brilee is something else." he said popping a bite of his pasta in his mouth. "She actually showed you an photo shopped picture of Josh and Nikki?"

"Yup." Ella said popping the p. "She went on to tell me that Nikki and Josh had lunch together, then what really took the cake is that she admitted to being a fan. She never mentioned it once in the fast few months that she was a fan of Marianas Trench. It is so frustrating because it makes me insecure with my relationship with my husband."

"L, I really don't think you have to worry about Josh. With everything that you guys have been through, I really think he would never think about dicking another girl."

Ella burst out laughing at her beautiful friend. "Dicking? Really Ben?"

"What.....isn't that what it is. It sounds so better than saying fucking, don't ya think?" Ben said raising his eyebrow at Ella.

Ella shook her head and got up from the table and started to clean up the kitchen. Ben had been here with her all evening. It was really nice to have his company, with Josh being gone and it just being her and the monsters and Brilee, it was so refreshing to have her best friend here with her.

"So how is Sara your friend, not Josh's sister?" Ben asked as he watched Ella load the dish washer.

"I never hear from her. It saddens me. I called her last and told her about Josh and I having another baby and she was upset that I would even consider letting someone else carry my child. I was a little hurt by that."

"Well L, can you see her point?"

Ella sighed turning to look at Ben, who was now sitting up on the counter top of the island in the middle of the huge kitchen.

"Yes and No. She has had two beautiful children and is pregnant again. I lost that right when I had the boys. Yes I have two wonderful boys but with myself being so selfish then I missed out on the experience of Josh and I being new parents. I wish I would have done things differently. Our lives maybe would have been different."

"Maybe." Ben said shrugging his shoulders.

"Want to watch a movie before we go to sleep?" she asked Ben as she picked up her cell phone to check to see if there were any messages from her beloved. They had a show tonight so it would probably be late before she heard from him.

"I am super tired." Ben said stretching. "I should really get home."

"Your not staying here for the night?" Ella asked pouting.

Ben smirked. "Boyfriend is coming over for some dic...." he started but Ella slapped her hand over his mouth, Ben looked at her with amused eyes.

"Don't!" Ella warned. "Finish that thought." She said giving him her stern look, but then she felt his wet tounge guide across her hand. "Ewwwwww............you sick fuck." she said wiping her hand on his shirt.

Ben burst out laughing. "Sorry."

Ella rolled her eyes and looked up as Brilee came into the kitchen, her hand resting on her small 20 week baby bump. She looked amazing, she was such a pretty girl and defiantly had the pregnancy glow.

"Hi guys, i hope I am not interrupting anything."

"God no, Brilee you remember my friend Ben."

She looked at Ben and smirked. "How could I forget someone so handsome."
