cuddling & criminal minds

AURORA PACKED HER things up, zipping up her suitcases and heading out of the hotel she stayed in

her and ben figured out they were on the same flight on the way home, so they decided to sit by each other

she smiled as she saw the seat next to him in first class, sitting down as he started up a conversation

"are you gonna sleep when your home? or do you wanna hangout" he asked the girl as she thought about

"we can hangout, after i get everything sorted at my house first" he said as he nodded before they both fell asleep on the flight home

••••••••••••••••••••••

aurora arrived at her house through a uber, unpacking all her things before she took a shower

doing her skincare, her phone started to buzz on her desk. she picked up her phone and checked it, smiling at the name who popped up to facetime

clicking answer as she placed her phone on her desk facing her, ben popped up on the screen as they smiled at each other

"are you tired?" she asked as he nodded before she laughed "so i'm gonna assume you don't wanna hangout" she responded

he furrowed his eyebrows "i still want too, we can watch movies?" he asked as she nodding her head "i'd like that"

"tell em more about yourself" ben asked as she smiled "im 19, i have a best friend who's named sasha"

"i saw her in my comments before" he said "i know, i responded to it" she said laughing "i love dogs"

"i started playing tennis in freshman year of high school, i lived in chicago before moving here."

"that's really it. im not that special" she spoke continuing to do her skincare as he listened and watched the girl

"tell me about yourself" she asked as he nodded "im 20, i lived here my whole life"
he said

"i started playing at 15, wasn't my thing but realized it was. i also love dogs" he said as she smiled

"im still in college, just doing it online to focus on tennis. are you in college?" he asked as she shook her head no

"i think i might go later on in life, i don't think tennis is for me" she spoke as he nodded his head understanding

"let me come over" he spoke as she smiled "ill text you my address" she responded before they both hung up

she quickly cleaned her room before he came over, she was nervous but she knew it's better to be yourself then to act fake

she was wearing sweatpants and a sweatshirt, something comfortable since it was a long day

she walked into her living room and heard a knock at the door, she opened the door and saw the boy she liked a lot

"hi ben" she said "hey you" he said before she let him in, he took his shoes off before taking a look around the place

"this is nice" he said looking at the decorative things in her house, she smiled as she thanked him

"come onnn im tired" she said taking his hand before leading him into her room. she sat on her bed and he did as well

"movie recommendations ?" she asked before he nodded putting on criminal minds "this is a show" she said laughing softly

getting comfortable, both of them cuddling "show, movie. criminal minds is really good" he said before they both focused on the show

falling asleep holding each other, they both would admit they really liked each other
