Spy School: Dead Weasel

Christmas

This is probably going to be long

(Ben p.o.v.)

I woke up to Erica shaking me.

"Ben wake up. I want to talk to you" she said

"Is it 6" I asked

"No" she replied 

"Ok fine. What do you want" I asked calmly. Why would she want to talk to me at 1:27 in the morning.

"Ben I don't really spend my Christmas with other people. I just lock myself in a room and fall asleep. I have no idea what to say to people and what to do. I don't really do this with other people especially since they hate my coldness. What do I do" she asked

"Erica, everything will be all right. Just be yourself except since it is Christmas can you try to be less cold to people. I will be there and if you need anything or help just ask me. Christmas is fun. Bring some spirit. I also like you just the way you are. Also my Aunt is a great person to talk to if you have worries or problems" I said

"Thank you Ben. I will ask you for help if needed. Also your family is amazing I couldn't imagine a better family then yours to talk too" Erica said

"Thanks. I am always here for help and to talk anytime." I replied 

"It is great to know you will wake up and talk at 1:27 in the morning anytime just for me" she said. Even though it was dark I saw her smile.

I blushed. It was dark so she couldn't see.

She then cuddled with me again.

I fell asleep nice and warm with Erica. I couldn't stop thinking about her. She is amazing. She somehow brightens my day. Will she say yes.

———time skip———

(Erica p.o.v.)

I woke up at 5:20. I decided to wake Ben up because I didn't want to be late for his Aunt.

"Benjamin Ripley wake up. We don't want to be late for your Aunt. Now do we. That would just be sad" I said

He then shot up.

"Ok I am up." He said then laughed 

"What is funny" I asked

"Well when you want ME up you always pin me down and wake me up. This time you didn't do that. I really thought you would do that" Ben said

"Well I can do that with a little surprise" I said with a wink.

Ben said sure only because it let him sleep more.

I "woke" him up at 5:30.

I pinned him down and said"wake up" in a cold voice.

I then kissed him. That was the surprise I had for him. He then woke up and grabbed my face and pulled me closer. We stopped kissing. It looked like he was about to kiss me. I was glad. He was going to kiss me again. I loved when he kisses me. 

I know so unlike Erica. Well there is something wrong with me.

He then lightly punched me.

"Ben what was that for I thought you were going to kiss me" I said before I could stop what I was saying.

"I wanted to see your beautiful smile. Also first time Erica thought that something big was going to happen and then was wrong" Ben said

His phone then dinged.

Olivia: Ben and Erica wake up if you already aren't. I will be there in 10 minutes 

Ben: ok thanks Aunt Olivia
