chapter one hundred three

"So, anything new for you? Other than the fact that you're busy filming with Edward." Claudia grabbed her glass of wine and drank from it before setting it down.

"Few projects coming up, promotion tours, usual stuff. We're almost finished shooting season one, Edward's thinking about a wrap party. Would you like to go with me? It's fine if you don't, I don't want to force you-"

Claudia's laughter cut him off. "You're cute, Barnes, of course I'll go with you."

Ben let out a sigh of relief. "Thank you for allowing me to take you out."

"Well, thank you for this lovely dinner. I normally don't get dressed up, but I thought I'd make an exception for this cute guy," Claudia grinned.

"You just called me cute. Twice," Ben blushed. Whatever Claudia was doing to him, she sure knew how to make him feel weak.

Dumbass, she's flirting with you. If Lucy could see you, she would be embarrassed and probably flirt with Claudia because you couldn't.

Ben hated how his thoughts were right.

"Ben? Are you okay?" Claudia asked. "You're quiet."

"I'm appreciative of your beauty, that's all. And this steak, pretty good steak." Ben grabbed a piece with his fork and ate it.

"I have a question. A serious one and if you're uncomfortable, I'll stop, but I kinda wanna know what we're doing with this unofficial relationship. Is that a mood killer?" Claudia asked.

"No, it's fine. I mean you definitely deserve to know where this is going. I don't want to lead you on. Claudia, I really like you and everything about you. And I'm pretty sure everyone knows that i fell hard for you. You're an amazing woman with a joyful smile. I love that."

"Ben, please, you're about to make me cry in front of my cheesecake." Claudia replied.

"I can always get you another one-"

"You literally sound like a sugar daddy," Claudia chuckled. "So does this mean what I think it means?"

"Unofficial relationship is now officially official." Ben confirmed.

"You and your way with words."
