"STOP! Security where's your pass?" A guard asked Craig tried to get back to Ben's room.
"Uh....@#%$ I'm Craig David can't you let me through?" Craig pleaded.
"Sure you are and I'm the Queen of Fairies...go back where you came from!" The security guard said.
"Please dude....I really am I....damn I never gotta pass!" Craig tried.
"Uh huh...." The guard said treating him like a nuasance.
Just then Natural walked by, on their way to the dressing room.
"BEN! BEN!" Craig called out. Ben looked over at him and just gave him the dirtiest look he could make as he quickly got into his dressing room trying not to cry.
"Dammit!" Craig said as he went back defeated to find Selena.
Selena was all anxious to see Craig return, she didn't even notice the look of defeat on his face.
"Sorry love....I tried I really did but you need some kinda pass and then Natural walked by and I called out to Ben but he just gave me a dirty look and hurried away..." Craig said looking defeated.
"Oh...." Selena said looking upset.
"No don't be upset...you have his #?" Craig asked.
"Yeah..." Selena said.
"Alright I'll call him when we get back to the hotel, no biggy." Craig said as he gave her a friendship like hug.
*In Natural's hotel room a few hours later*
"Ben dude whats wrong with you?" Michael asked. Ben had been looking tramatized all night and this was the first he got to talk to him about it.
"*heavy sigh* Nothing...Utada and me aren't get along so well..." Ben lied.
"Dude thats not cool! Whats wrong?" Michael asked.
"Why don't you just butt out alright?" Ben sneered as he went into his room and slammed the door.
"What's up his ass?" J asked as he walked in. Michael, J, and Ben were the only ones home, Patrick and Marc had decided it'd be fun to go get sh*t faced and f*cked.
"I dunno dude..." Michael said as he looked worried.
*In Ben's room*
Ben sat there moping. He hated this he really did! Selena looked like she'd had WAAAAAAY to much fun with Craig in his opinion. He HATED it! He loved her and he hated hiding...maybe he just needed to cool off...
*ring*
"Hello?" Ben answered very down.
"Hey Ben...PLEASE DONT HANG UP ITS ABOUT SELENA!" Craig said very fastly.
"Fine...what about her? Did she taste good tonight?" Ben asked coldly.
"No...Ben listen I'm sorry I got to involved in the game, me and Selena are just friends and I promised her I wouldn't do that anymore, she had no say in it, so forgive her and forgive me pleeease?" Craig pleaded fastly, he was afraid Ben would hang up on him.
"How do I know thats true?" Ben asked, he was afraid to trust it. He didn't wanna be hurt.
"Ben seriously! I won't kiss her any more open mouth I promise!" Craig pleaded.
"Fine...tell *her* I love her and I'll see her next month..." Ben said a bit choked up, he loved Selena and he wanted to talk to her soooo bad, but Simon would know if he did...he just knew he would.
**Back at Selena's hotel**
"What'd he say?" Selena asked anxiously.
"He understood...and he says to tell u a...." Craig said looking around after hearing footsteps in the other room, "I love you and I can't wait to see you next month." Craig finished as he winked on the *I*'s.
"Ohh...k I uh...love ya too I better get to sleep nighty night..." Selena said as Craig gave her a hug and left.
*2 weeks later, Natural meeting*
"Alright and a....publicity wise were doin good," Lou Pearlman said as he looked through some notes of his. It was Natural's monthly meeting and Lou wanted to cover everything, "Okay ummm....J we're gonna hook you up with that Kalliope singer, people are startin to think your gay so we need a publicity girlfriend. A.....Marc doin good, Michael you keep seein that model (Michael was pulling a Ben but no one knew, him and Bree still were dating but Michael had to take a *publicity girlfriend so Lou would be appeased)....., Patrick seriously we're gonna hook you up with that umm a... Geri chick, be good publicity......., oh and umm Ben do you think you could kick things up with Utu....Uta...Utada yeah Utada?" Lou asked as he looked up from his notes.
"What do you mean?" Ben asked. He'd gotten better over the next few weeks. He had secretly snuck off and seen Selena's concert in the UK a few weeks back, but she, nor anyone had known. He loved seeing her and it got his spirits up. Also knowing in a few more weeks he could hold her in his arms made him extra happy.
"Well how close are you two?" Lou asked.
"Uhh....we're close we're doin good." Ben lied quickly as all eyes were on him.
"Good...alright then why don't you ask her to marry you or something? Maybe knock her up?" Lou suggested all buisness like.
"LOU! I'm not gonna be like Marc and do that! I love Se...Utada and I won't exploit our relationship!" Ben said as he almost slipped up.
"Is that how ya say it? SeUtada? Anyways at least be a lil more lovey in public! And we'll start up some marriage rumors just for the hell of it...alrighty then...if this goes well I'll give ya'll a whole week vacation that few weeks were in America....alright meeting adjourned!" Lou said as he sat up and brushed a french fry off his shirt covered blubber.
[i]'It can't be to bad....just give her a kiss on the lips next time...then I'll be able to see my Selena
'[/i] Ben thought to himself worridly.
***3 Days later, in France where Selena was currently touring***
"Damn French....Selena are your nails dry yet?" Bree asked.
"Why?" Selena asked, she was getting her hair and nails done.
"Cuz I wanna read this french J14 but I cant understand a word...hmm..." Bree said as she flipped the pages casually.
"Hey Selena listen to this...of course my french ain't perfect but hey whatcha gonna do?" Bree said as she started to read off a French article,
"Il semble que roman est dans le ciel pour les garçons de Natural. Les dernières nouvelles sont que Ben Bledsoe le hottie de blonde a demandé à sa petite amie l'aka célèbre Hikki d'Utada Hikaru de chanteur de bruit de J de l'épouser ! Les sources près de la parole de Natural chacun est passionnant'et heureuse pour eux. Nous keeep de volonté que vous avez signalé..." Bree read, stumbling on some of the harder words.
Selena's eyes got huge. "Bree could you umm speed dial #5 on the phone for me and put it between my head and shoulder?"
"Uhh...k.." Bree said as she did just that and Selena walked out of the room into another 1 and locked the door.
"Hello?" Ben asked groggily, he was in Japan so it was early morning and he had been sleeping.
"Well congratulations when's the wedding!?" Selena asked infuriated.
"Huh...baby is that you?" Ben asked, he didn't dare say her name.
"Yes it's me...Selena...not Utada!" Selena said very upset. How could Ben pull off a fake engagement? What the hell was running through his mind was all that was running through her head.
"Baby what are you talking about?" Ben asked waking up.
"Bree just got the latest french J14 and it says you and Utada are engaged!" Selena said coldly.
"We are!?!? SINCE WHEN! Oh @#%$....this is Lou's plan I really had notin to do with it I just told him no I wouldn't do that yesterday..." Ben said as he realized what had happened.
Selena tried to calm down, that did sound like something Lou would do. "Alright I'm sorry I yelled...but Ben what are we going to do?" Selena asked worriedly.
"Well ya know what? It's time for me to 'break up' with her and say I'm single awhile....and judging on how long Simon can own you I'll just make a deal with someone else..." Ben said as he tried to wake up some more.
"Ben Simon owns me for another 5 years..." Selena said as she got tears in her eyes.
"SELENA SIMON IS HERE!" Bree shouted, she just had a feeling on what was going on but she couldn't prove it.
"I gotta go..." Selena said as she hung up, pressed the speed dial #4 which was Bree's cell, then hung up....just incase Simon checked her redial...
*3 days later, MTV Japan Music Award's red carpet*
"BEN BEN! Are you and Utada really engaged?" a curious interviewer asked.
Ben smiled, Lou had told him to say yes, but Ben was going to play by his rules now. He had called Utada the night before and told her the game was over.
"No...nothing could be farther from the truth! Me and Utada have been broken up for a month, but we're still friends." Ben said.
*The next morning, Selena's tour bus in France*
"Hey Selena they showed a picture of Ben!" Bree said as she pulled Selena in front of the TV as the French reporter started to talk.
[i]"Il semble que les rumeurs d'un mariage entre Natural's Ben Bledsoe et longue petite amie Utada Hikaru de temps sont fausses. Ben a confirmé la nuit passée aux récompenses de musique de MTV Japon que les deux ne sont pas non seulement engagés, ils se sont cassés vers le haut ! Il dit que les deux se sont dédoublés, mais ils restent de bons amis...[/i]
"What'd she say?" Bree asked curiosly.
"She said...that the rumor in your magazine wasn't true, and that Ben and Utada have broken up..." Selena said with a smile on her face.
"What rumor?" Bree asked, Selena had never explained it to her!
***Back at Natural's Tour bus in Japan***
"Ben dude you okay?" Michael asked as Ben sat happily on his tour bus bed staring into space.
"Yeah I'm good." Ben said with a smile, he knew it was only another week and he'd see his Selena.
"Oh okay...you just lost your girlfriend...of course you acted this way when you lost Selena....boy your one odd guy..." Michael said as he went back to his PS2 game.
Just then the tour bus door opened and Lou walked in (it was parked....IM NOT INSANE lol....okay a lil...anyways)
"BEN!" Lou said.
"Yes sir?" Ben asked.
"Good job! This break up with Utada is gettin us tons of publicity! So I'm sending you boys home a week early! You can have this week off, and next week off." Lou smiled proudly at his work.
Ben smiled even more, NOW HE COULD HAVE A WHOLE WEEK WITH SELENA! And a whole week to prepare...
***The Bledsoe's house, 2 am the next day***
"Jan get the door..." Mike (his dad lol not the other 1) said, as he rolled over.
"Ohhh why can't you?" Jan asked groggily.
"Cuz you love me..." Mike teased.
"Ugh....your lucky..." Jan said as she got up and put on her robe to answer the door (she wasnt nude or anything, just ya know old people and robes lol!)
"Mommy!" Ben said with a smile as he his mother answered the door.
"Ben? Hey what are you doing here at this time of night?" Jan asked.
"Lou let us off a week early...I'll just go to bed don't worry about me." Ben said as he dragged his bag in.
"Alright...if your hungry theres some food in the fridge. I have to watch Hudson in the morning so I need some sleep." Jan said as she headed back to her room.
"Hey I'll help when I wake up." Ben said happily as he went and found his room.
Ben slept a good 12 hours. Lou always overworked them! About 4 he woke up and heard Hudson cooing out in the living room.
"Hudson!" Ben said as he came out and rubbed his eyes. His hair was messy and he had on his boxers and a t shirt.
"Beeeaaaaaah!" Hudson squealed excitdly.
"You miss your uncle?" Ben smiled as he picked his newphew up.
"Hey don't take over Grandma's job!" Jan said as she returned from the kitchen with a fresh bottle.
"Fine you can change his diaper!" Ben said as he handed Hudson to his mom.
"Gee thanks...so whats going on in your life honey? The press was all over something baout you being engaged then you breaking up with some Japanese girl..." Jan said as she looked concerned at her sons happy demeanor.
"Mom I'm gonna let you and Hudson in on a secret... Utada was just a cover and no one but me, her, Craig David, and Selena know. Lou was taking his explosions to far so I pretended to break up with Utada but me and her weren't really dating...Anyways Selena and me are still really dating and I wanted her to come and stay next week and meet you guys..." Ben said hesitantly, his moms reaction was very important for some reason to him.
"Ohh honey thats wonderful! Are you two serious or something....is there possibly another grandkid in my future?" Jan asked with a sly smile.
"Not well...okay mom I can't openly date Selena for another 5 years cuz of her manager...and I love her NOW!" Ben said exhasperated, "Anyways ummm...we've been dating for quite a few months now and I know it may be soon and all but mom...do you think I could have your engagment ring?" Ben asked shyly. In his family the engagement ring was a passed down tradition thing.
Jan's eyes got huge as Hudson squiggled in her arms.
"Uhh...Ben if you can't be with her openly for another 5 years then what are you planning to do for now?" Jan asked, she was concerned as a mother should be
.
"Well...we could get married just in front of our families...mom I love her and I want to be with her the rest of my life and I want to give Hudson a cousin and oh god I could be a daddy..." Ben said at that thought.
Jan giggled at how he reacted to his realization and said, "Well son alright...here...so what do you have in mind for when you ask her?"
"I don't know...take her out to a restraunt and..." Ben started as Jan interuptted him.
"Ben honey its risky enough she's coming here...maybe me and your father could go out for the night and give you two the house to yourself?"
"Oh god mom I need people around! I mean I love being alone with her but this is such a big moment I...I dunno..." Ben said hesitantly.
"Well...you could always bring her with to Sunday Dinner at Lara's and then we could be there for you..." Jan suggested.
"That could work...I need a shower...Hudson you be a good boy while I'm gone!" Ben teased as he smiled and went to get a change of clothes and put his mothers, and soon to be girlfriend's engagement ring away.
***6 days later, Selena's hotel room in Greece***
"Selena what are you getting so ancy for? Your vacation ain't that great!" Bruce teased as he and Bree helped Selena shop.
"Oh umm me and Craig are gonna see each other." Selena lied.
"Really? Where are you two going on this romantic trip?" Bree teased.
"Umm Orlando, Craig just loves it there." Selena lied, she had already filled Craig in on EVERYTHING so he wouldn't *call* or anything again.
"Oh kewl I love Orlando...guess me and Bruce have to go back to dull *insert name of the state that one guy and Selena are from cuz I forgot it*!" Bree said.
"You'll live!" Selena teased.
Selena had picked up quite a few items that would be suspicious if she didn't have Craig for cover. She had bought a shirt for Ben (it'll shrink, she said when Bree pointed out it was to long for Craig), a stuffed animal for Hudson (she said she just thought it was cute), a fancy thing of greek bread and some wine (she said for Craig, but it was for Ben's parents), a necklace that wasnt her style and a man watch that wasn't Craig's style (also for his parents), and a nice shirt not her size (for Laura, lol she said it'd shrink too.) She'd also bought a few outfits for when she seen Ben and some to look nice for his parents.
"Ohhh Victoria's Secrets, Bruce how bout while us ladies shop you can feel up the bras?" Bree asked teasingly.
"Hey I got a gf for that! But she could stand to have a nice new pair of thongs..." Bruce said as he eyed some of the stores goods.
As Bree and Selena shopped Selena kept looking for things that were green, she knew how much Ben loved green.
"What about this?" Selena asked as she held up a skimpy piece of lingerie.
"Uh DC its cute but doesn't Craig hate green?" Bree asked teasingly.
"No he uh luvs it...or well I love it and he'll love it too!" Selena said with a cautious laugh.
"Girl your acting weird...I'll just bask in my assumptions about you and Utada's former fiance` and say nothing..." Bree said with a sly smile.
"As long as you never repeat it or mention it then your on to something..." Selena said admittingly.
"Someday you'll have to tell me! When were not in public are around Mr. Gossip..." Bree said as she pointed at Bruce.
*Later that night*
"DC you up?" Bree asked as she came into Selena's room. It was 2am and Selena had to leave at 5am for America.
"Yeah..." Selena said as she rolled over to face Bree.
"Sista spill!" Bree said with a sly smile.
"Bree I cant...I want to badly but I cant...just please don't go talking about it okay?" Selena pleaded.
"Alright...so you nervous?" Bree asked.
"Yes...meeting uh...Craig's parents is scary!" Selena said as she caught herself.
"Well if their anything like him I bet they'll be nice..." Bree said reassuringly.
"Thanks Bree..." Selena said.
***That afternoon, Ben's house***
"Ben honey you okay?" Jan asked. Ben had woken up at 11, gotten showered and all dressed up in his most ass hugging jeans and muscle t shirt and was ready to see his Selena by noon. But her flight wouldn't be in tell 9pm, and she wouldn't be to the house tell 10 pm because it was to risky for Ben to go pick her up.
"Yeah yeah I'm good...I'm just nervous..." Ben said as he looked at a sleeping Hudson on the floor in a pile of his toys.
"Ben you'll be fine...you haven't shut up about her all week I'm sure she's gonna be happy to see you too!" Lara (his sister) teased.
"I know...its just ya know like when u and *Tom (note I dont know the guys real name lol) started dating..." Ben said in his defense.
"Well as long as she treats my lil brother good then I guess I'll give her a chance...but she better be good to you..." Lara said as Ben smiled.
*Later that night, 10:05pm*
"Ben you okay?" Jan asked as she, Mike, and Ben sat in the living room watching the news waiting for Selena.
"Yeah I'm fine...god I hate flight delays..." Ben said as he looked up at the digital clock.
*knock knock*
Ben jumped up to answer the door like it was the most important thing in the world.
Meanwhile Selena stood outside the door nervously. She had had to walk a freakin block to get to the house, because the taxi driver couldn't know where she was going... She had had about 3 suitcases to lug with her so she wasn't thrilled about that either... She had been so nervous on her walk...she didn't know how any of this was to go and she was really nervous.
"SELENA!" Ben said as he quickly drug her in the house and stepped outta sight of the door so he could hug her and give her a kiss.
"Mmm hey." Selena said as she recovered from the kiss.
"Hey I'll get your bags for ya." Mike said (anything to recover from that moment
) and got up to go get Selena's bags.
"Thanks..." Selena said, she had no clue who was who other then Ben was Ben.
"Selena thats my dad, and there on the couch with the old lady curlers in her hair is my mom..." Ben said as he couldn't stop smiling, he finally had Selena in his arms!
"Oh shush...nice to meet you dear..." Jan said as she got up to give Selena a hug. Ben wouldn't have minded except for that took Selena outta his arms!
"Not to be a bad host but me and Mike have to get to bed, he has work in the morning and so do I... it was nice to meet you though." Jan said as Mike gave Selena a hug and then the 2 headed off to bed.
Ben immediatly got his arms back around Selena, "Mmmm I've been waiting all day just to hug you." He said as he smiled.
"Me too....well where do I sleep?" Selena teased.
"Aww just sleep?" Ben asked back with a sly smile.
"Hey I've been up since 5 AM give a girl a break." Selena said as she teased him further.
"Alright this way madam..." Ben said as he picked up Selena's bags and took her into his room.
"Ohh your parents don't mind that I sleep by you?" She asked.
"Nope..." Ben said as he shut the door and kissed her.
"Mmmmm Ben not to be a drag but I've been on planes all day, you think I could get a shower?" Selena asked.
"Alright alright...here the showers over this way..." Ben said as he showed her.
"Alright I wont be gone long..." Selena said as she gave him a kiss and grabbed one of her bags.
Ben hated this, he had waited all day to see her and she just looked beauitful to him! But he wanted to make her happy.
Ben got into his boxers and crawled into bed to wait for her.
Meanwhile Selena caught her barrings and showered. She was debating over herself with what she was thinking of doing, but hey she'd slept enough on the plane...she just hoped Mr. and Mrs. Bledsoe weren't light sleepers.
"Ben...you still up?" Selena whispered as she came back into his room.
"Hmm yeah just turn on that lil lamp..." Ben said
Selena found the switch on the lamp and Ben looked over to see her. His eyes got huge as he seen the slinky lingerie she was wearing, and it was GREEN
!
"I hope your not teasing me again..." Ben whispered back with a smile on his face.
"The more teasing the more pleasure!" Selena giggled as she found the lock on the door and locked it.
*Next morning*
"Well I guess I can be down there in a minute...how long....*sigh* alright gimme 10 minutes!" Jan said as she talked to a lady from work. Jan had just gotten home from work at noon and began to watch Hudson for Lara when a lady from her work called and said they needed her for overtime.
"BEN...." Jan shouted into his room as she started to try and open the door but found it locked.
"BEN!" Jan shouted as she knocked on the door.
Ben and Selena had been sound asleep, they hadn't gotten to bed tell they were well worn out around 3am...
"Huh..." Selena said as she woke up to the noise. Ben was sound asleep holding her in his arms, they were both nude.
"Uhhh just a sec Mrs. Bledsoe!" Selena said as she got up and stumbled around to put on a t shirt and a pair of Ben's boxers.
"Yes?" Selena said as she opened the door and came out.
"Oh dear I didn't mean to wake you...I just needed Ben to watch Hudson tell his parents get off at 5..." Jan said.
"Oh I could watch him I love kids!" Selena offered.
"Alright...his bottles are in the fridge and he just had a change and a feeding so he shouldnt need another one for awhile..." Jan said as she went back out into the living room to get ready for work.
"Okay just lemme umm get dressed..." Selena said as she went back in her room and changed and combed her hair.
"Thanks dear this is sooo nice of you are you sure?" Jan asked.
"Yeah I'm sure..." Selena said as she went out into the living room and picked up Hudson who started cooing curiously at her.
*3 hours later*
"Rock a bye baby...in the tree top..." Ben woke up to a lovely voice singing in the living room.
[i]'Damn last night had been good,'[/i] he thought as he rolled over only to find no Selena there. Ben curiosly got up, threw on a pair of boxers, jeans, and a t shirt and went out into the living room to see who was singing.
There he seen Selena rocking Hudson as she fed him a bottle.
"Well whats this here?" Ben asked teasingly as he came and sat by them.
"Oh...a...I was just singing to Hudson, shh he's almost asleep." Selena said as she rocked him a few more seconds, then got up and laid him in his play pen.
Ben just watched her longingly. He LOVED Hudson, anyone Hudson loved had to be perfect for him! He couldn't believe how good Selena was with Hudson, she just seemed a Natural.
"Sleep good?" Selena asked as she came and sat on Ben's lap and gave him a kiss.
"Mmmm of course with my girl in my arms...so why are you watching my lil nephew?" Ben asked with a smile on his face.
"Oh your mom needed someone to watch him tell Lara comes to pick him up because she had to work or something...I love kids I never had a brother or sister so yeah..." Selena said as she looked over at the sleeping Hudson.
"Whats that look for?" Selena asked teasingly as she looked back at Ben.
"Notin...just a thought..." Ben said.
"Well hold that thought for 5 or so years..." Selena teased as she kissed him again
***alrighty its 2am, LINDA YOU OWE ME A NICE LONG ENTRY! lol...***
