Ally pulled the car into the street, the drive was very quiet. She couldn’t help but have her eyes flicker towards her passenger. He called her to pick him up once his car broke down after his crazy night. Her heart pounded so loudly in her chest, she would swear he could hear her if the radio wasn’t on.
As Ally came to a stop sign she chances a quick look his way, he had never looked this good to her. His dark hair was mussed and sticking up at odd angles, but he was some how able to pull it off. His clothing was light for the hot day, a button up blue short sleeve shirt that she noticed hugged all the right places on his torso. His jeans, she swallowed hard and gripped the wheel tightly trying not to concentrate on those. Closing her eyes she tried not to let his beautiful accent take her over as he told her about his day, and what lead up to his car breaking down. As the cars drove by her, she waited for her turn to go, she quickly looked at his face when headlights passed, his eyes were sparkling as he smiled recalling a humorous event.
I don’t think that passenger seat
Has ever looked this good to me
He tells me about his night
I count the colors in his eyes
“This one girl,” She heard him laughing lightly, his laugh always make her weak. There was something about the bass in his voice coming out during that small laugh. “She wouldn’t leave me be, I think she was really drunk the third time she approached me. Tell me she was completely head over heels in love with me. All I could do was laugh, I don’t fall in love.” His eyes shined as he ran his hand through his hair messing it up even more, making it look better.
“Ben,” Ally laughed quietly in return as her heart tried not to break. He had told that to her many times and every time all she could do was laugh and hope he was wrong. He never knew how much she really loved him. She tried to deny it all she could but it never work. She vaguely hears him telling a joke he head heard that night and she laughed again. As his favorite song came on the radio, he didn’t even seem to notice.
He’ll never fall in love he swears
As he runs his fingers through his hair
I'm laughing cause I hope he’s wrong
I don’t think it ever crossed his mind
He tells a joke, I fake a smile
But I know all his favorite songs
As Ben continued to talk ally slowly thought back to earlier in the day, she was having lunch with one of her friends. It was turning into a weekly lunch date and it was turning into a weekly third degree of questions. About Ally’s feelings, why she didn’t have a boyfriend, why her life seemed to be revolve around helping people, about helping a certain someone more than he deserved.
She mostly just shrugged as her friend continued the barrage of questions. All directed about Ben towards the end of lunch like they always did. She smiled, seeing Ben covered in head to foot green frosting, green being his favorite color, the one day they tried to bake a cake together. Failing dismally. That day he also argued with her almost nonstop but she didn’t mind, it was a little quark he had and she never let it bother her at all. His sister had appeared that day, during one of their latest arguments, she looked so beautiful, a mirror image of her older brother. Asking what he wanted for his birthday, it being the on seventeenth of her favorite month. Ally noticed that they shared the shame dark brown eyes, their fathers eyes.
“Ally!” Her friend snapped her fingers in front of her eyes, lifting her from the constant day dream. “Do you love him?”
“No of course not,” Ally said lying to the world again.
And I could tell you
His favorite color’s green
He loves to argue
Born on the seventeenth
His sister’s beautiful
He has his father’s eyes
And if you ask me if I love him
I’d lie
In no time Ally pulled into Ben’s parking spot in front of his apartment building. Sighing she pulled the keys out the ignition and followed him slowly into his flat. She looked at him strangely as he stopped at the door and looked around the dimly lit sitting room, the street light sitting outside lighting it up. He moves to the side allowing Ally to enter first, his hand brushes her back lightly and she tries not to shiver at the touch. He barely notices it.
Quickly he walked past the light he always turned out without even glancing at it. Ally stared at the light as she shut the door behind herself. Even when it was the brightest day of the year that light would always go on when ever he walked into his apartment. She looked slowly at him as he stood in the kitchen getting them drinks. Looking back at the light she quickly flicked it on before walking to the kitchen. Ally felt embarrassed for even knowing that silly fact about him, but she had watched him for such a long time it became instinct to her.
He looks around the room
Innocently overlooks the truth
Shouldn’t a light go on?
Doesn’t he know that I’ve had him memorized for so long?
She sat at the counter in the middle of his small kitchen. He was leaning on the counter himself, pouring the two of them glasses of wine. A small glass for Ally since she still had to drive home, but he filled his glass almost to the brim. When he did that Ally knew something was bothering him. She should’ve seen it when he was chatting away about his fantastic day that really didn’t seem all that grand to her. For him everything was so plain, she could tell when something was wrong with him right away. Even if he wouldn’t show the slightest emotion about it. In a way they were alike for that, he held his true emotions behind, and she kept her feelings a total secret.
He sees everything in black and white
Never lets no body see him cry
And I don’t let no body see me wishing he was mine
They sat there for longer than she expected just chatting and catching up for the two days that they hadn’t seen each other. Ben downed over five glasses of red wine as Ally cautiously sipped on hers. Now she knew something was up. He ran his hand slowly down his face before finishing up his sixth glass. Ally tried to think back to something he said to her recently, something she promised she wouldn’t tell another soul. At that time she had just pushed it away thinking it was nothing just another one of his constant worries. But now she wasn’t so sure.
I could tell you
His favorite color’s green
He loves to argue
Born on the seventeenth
His sister’s beautiful
He has his father’s eyes
And if you ask me if I love him
I’d lie
The bottle was finished and there was a second bottle which he gave up drinking when he stood up and looked at Ally sitting in front of him studying him almost. He shakes his head slowly as he turned and walked into his bedroom. Before shutting the door he said she could stay the night, they would have to get his car in the morning, it would save her gas.
The door slammed as she jumped in her seat a little. She let out the breath she didn’t know that she was holding and looked around the kitchen. Quickly she cleaned up putting the dishes in the dishwasher before putting the wine bottle back in the fridge. Slowly she walked towards the couch, her bag dropped from her hand into the floor and she plopped herself down into the couch she had spent many nights on. All of which were spent hoping Ben would walk from his bed room and towards her, where she waited with abated breath wanting him to kiss her like she had seen him kiss others before.
He stands there then walks away
My God if I could only say
I’m holding every breath for you
Ally stirred as she wrapped the blanket tightly around her, groaning at being disturbed from the best dream she had in months. She stilled hearing the strumming of Ben playing the guitar quietly in his room. It was a talent he hid from a lot of people, Ally only knew for the numerous times she had spent the night and would wake up to the wonderful music he would play in the morning as part of his routine.
Her heart was in his throat as the door to his bedroom opened and Ben stepped into the sunlit sitting room. He smiled as he leaned against the wall in nothing but a pair of boxers his hair mussed like it had been the previous night. Ally smiled kindly at him in returning trying not to blush or look down his body like she was craving to do at that moment. She heard him laugh quietly as he went into the kitchen to make them breakfast. Throwing the blanket off of her she ran her hand through her hair and sighed, it was getting harder than she thought it would.
Trying to control her breathing she looked at him in the kitchen messing around by the stove. Her heart still beating as she counting help but mutter “beautiful” as she put her hair back up. Slowly applying her usual make up she hoped today would go better than yesterday had. She still had a feeling something was bothering him.
He’d never tell you
But he can play guitar
I think he can see through
Everything but my heart
First thought when I wake up
Is my God he’s beautiful
So I put on my make-up
And pray for a miracle
Breakfast was a quick affair before they were off quickly to pick up Ben’s car from the side of the road. He knew what was wrong with it, but he didn’t want to deal with it at midnight in the middle of the road. Ally drove quietly as Ben stared out of the window, something was bothering him but Ally didn’t want to ask. He had always been a very private person even with her. She pulled along the side of the road behind Ben’s car.
Pulling the supplies from her car she helped Ben as much as she could with repairing his car and changing the oil like she had told him to do over a month ago. She smiled kindly as he was talking to her ignoring all the stories he told her last night about the dozens of girls flocking him. He constantly looked at her to judge her reactions to these stories.
Yes And I could tell you
His favorite color's green
He loves to argue
Oh and it kills me
His sister's beautiful
He has his father's eyes
And if you asked me if I love him
Ally’s thoughts quickly flew away from her as she stood with arms folded next to Ben staring off into the distance. Ben watched her intently, something changed around her as he was telling his stories, his heart raced as he smiled. He reached out as he touched her arm lightly, she jumped as he laughed quietly. She looked at him slowly.
Don't you ask me if I love him
They stood next to his car as he stared at her intently. Ally gripped the side of his car lightly her knuckles turning white. Biting her lip she managed a small smile at him. He nodded lightly to himself, agreeing with someone she didn’t understand.
“Ally,”
“Yes Ben?”
“Do you love me?”
Cause I’d lie
