Chapter 258 With My Life

    I know Benjamin loves me but hearing him say it got me speechless. I was biting my nails like a shy teenager not knowing how to respond to him. He shifted in the background and almost spoke up immediately but I rushed my reply without giving him the chance to think that I don't love him too.

"I love you too Benjamin with my life"

He sighed with relief.

"I thought you were not going to answer but thank heavens you did. So what are you up to?"

"Nothing much,just missing my king"

I said smiling and I know he smiled too.

"I miss you here too"

He said and paused, I waited for him to say something which he did at last.

   "I was thinking maybe we should hang out today, maybe go see a movie,what do you think"

He asked almost like he was afraid to ask.

   "It's a good idea"

I replied.

   "That's great then, I will pick you up at 14:00"

He said and I nod my head,

"Alright then, can't wait to see you"

I said shyly, I don't really know what is making me shy.

"Till then, know that this guy here will die the world for you"

He said and the call got disconnected.

"He did not even wait for me to say goodbye"

I said with a long face. I dropped my face and stood up to go tidy myself up. It's a new day and I know it just got better because I believe so.

Ben's point of view.....

I just got off the phone with Nora and I could not help but to admire her face on my phone screen. She is my screen saver even while I was still in relationship with Rosie and she had asked me severally why the pics had to be there to which I have no reasonable answer to.

   "You are beautiful, always remember that."

I said and stood up to go say good morning to dad and mom. I got down from my huge bed and wore my flip flop. Why I wear flip flops is what I can't tell. Maybe it is because Dad wears mom flip flops and I find them cute so I started wearing one hoping that when I am married,I would wear my wife's own, which there is no doubt about that.

 I checked myself on my wall mirror and I was not looking bad so I left the room humming to myself.

   I got to their room and knocked, within a few seconds,I heard mom's voice inviting me in. I went in to find out that they are both still in bed. They are an early morning couple,I wonder why they are still in bed by this time.

   "Mom, dad, good morning to you both"

I said and helped myself down on their king-size couch of many colors. There is no color you would not find on the couch.

   Dad pulled the duvet down to his chest with mom cuddling him. I smiled to myself, when will this couple realize they are old for some stuff.

   "Morning son, I know you slept well"

He said in a deep baritone voice. The fun part is that he said he knows I slept well, like what the heck?.

  "Dad, how do you know I slept well?"

I asked with a straight face and he smiled.

   "It's written over you son, I was not born yesterday"

He said and turned his back on me.

"What brought you here, I am still in bed with my wife"

He said grumpily like I was invading their privacy and I made a face at him although he could not see me. First time he asks me what I am doing in his room like I don't do that every morning.

   "Dad, what changed? I come to your room every morning"

   I said, reminding him that it's still me.

"Ben you are old now, you know what I mean"

He said, nonchalantly and I palmed my face. Is dad telling me off?

  "Dad it's not fair, it still me your Benjamin"

I said and he finally turned his face to me. Mom keeping quiet was unusual,she normally comes to my rescue but she just lay there with no care in the world.

    "Son, don't behave like a baby. You are thirty for crying out loud so behave like one. Right now,I want to still sleep okay, maybe we can have a chat later."

  He said dismissively,I know too well not to stay because I was not welcomed. I stood up almost tearing up,I know I am a man and thirty years for that matter but dad dismissing me like that was heartbreaking.

   "Alright dad"

I stood up and left the room face down, dad ruining my morning was no way so I am not letting him get to me. If he wants to make me angry then he lies,he should not provoke me because he knows too well not to make me get mad at him.
