I Want To Be With You

Benjamin

He felt like the dorky high school kid crushing on the most popular cheerleader in school. Kelly was running from him with such nervous persistence that she tripped all over herself when he even neared her.

If she thought her adorable attempts at circumventing him would dampen his interest, she was very wrong. On the contrary, Kelly was awakening the hunter locked inside. She presented the best kind of challenge and he found it amusing to shake her up.

Now if only he could shake Harley off…

“Benjamin!” The brunette waved her arms and pointed to the chair beside her. Her smile was bright and her attire just as eye-catching. “Why don’t you sit here?”

Benjamin hesitated, his gaze skimming the beautifully set dinner table until it landed on Kelly. The sun had just descended and the dining hall was decorated with orange bulbs that highlighted her creamy brown skin and white dress.

She threw her head back and laughed at something that Renesha said, exposing the flawless expanse of her neck. He loved it when she wore her hair up. The woman’s neck alone could drive him crazy.

Kelly was a vision and the very last thing that Benjamin wanted to do was sit all the way across from her.

He clutched his tie and pulled it down as he wavered. The longer he hesitated, the more stares he drew. Harley’s smile drooped a little. Her brown eyes filled with discomfort and she patted the seat next to her.

“Come on,” she urged, her voice acquiring a shrieking tinge.

Benjamin winced, but took a determined step toward Harley. To ignore her now would be callous on his part and embarrassing on hers. Whether or not her attentions annoyed the life out of him, Harley deserved to be acknowledged.

He had taken only three steps when Ricky smoothly slid into the seat that Harley had pulled out for him. His friend offered the architect a charming smile and yanked on the collar of his blue polo shirt.

“You don’t mind if I sit here, right, Benji?”

“Not at all!” Benjamin waved his friend on before Harley could thrust him from the seat. “I’ll just sit somewhere else.”

Thank you, Ricky.

“No, but…” Harley looked like she was about to cry. Benjamin, unfortunately, could not sum up the energy to feel sorry for her. He sprinted to the other side of the table and snagged the empty seat beside Kelly.

The girls stopped mid-sentence when he dropped in. Kelly turned around and frowned at him. He smiled in return, taking the time to admire her deep brown eyes and downturned red lips. The woman was giving him attitude. She had no right to be so beautiful.

“Why are you sitting there?” Kelly hissed beneath her breath.

“Can’t I sit here?”

“No.”

He rose and checked the cushion. “Does it have someone else’s name stitched on the bottom?”

“Very funny.” Kelly tipped her head. “Isn’t your name stitched on the seat beside Harley’s?”

“You know, Kel,” he said softly, “it sounds like you’re jealous.”

“Me?” She sputtered. “Jealous? Rene, can you Belize—I mean believe this man?”

“Leave me out of it.
