Chapter Text
It was the morning after Callum and Ben had officially had sex. Callum woke up feeling guilty as ever, what had he done to poor Whitney? He was a bad person. Yes, he found Ben very attractive, but he loved Whitney, he wanted her, not Ben. So why did he have sex with Ben? He also remembered that he didn't use a condom last night but didn't think to use one in the heat of the moment, plus who carries condoms on them anyway? I mean he wasn't planning on having sex with Ben.
But boy did he enjoy last night, it wasn't anything like what he did with Whit, but it was more heated, more passionate. He felt bad because of that, he enjoyed sex more with ben than he did with his own girlfriend. Talking of his girlfriend, Whitney was still asleep. She looked so beautiful while asleep. She couldn't find out about him and Ben. Not ever.
Ben was eating breakfast in the cafe; he really did enjoy last night. He knew callum was gay, he didn't love Whitney at all, or he thought he loved her but was still very confused. After last night he thought he would be slightly over Whitney, but clearly not. Looked like Ben would have to work harder. He wanted Callum, he found him attractive, he needed Callum. But Whitney was always in the way, he didn't hate her or anything, but he was jealous that she had found herself a very attractive GAY boyfriend.
Ben didn't think he would find anyone so special after Paul, he didn't think he'd ever be in love again. But Callum was different, he wasn't like any of the guys he had slept with. Callum was special, he was one of a kind. He couldn't lose him to a woman, no way.
Ben was eating like he hadn't in a while, he knew Jay would soon notice sooner or later.
"What? Got an appetite today"
"Oh yeah...?"
"Cuz I pulled"
Ben said with a smirk on his face, Jay didn't look as thrilled.
"Yeah I gathered that"
"Why didn't ya ask?"
"Because I didn't want ta know, alright"
"Bit of a rookie, but he soon warmed up"
Jay had a slight disgusted look on his face, oh Ben loved winding him up.
"I'm eatin 'ere"
"Oh, you want all the details, well if you insist..."
"I mean it"
Just then Callum walked in, god he looked so hot in that black suit of his. Ben looked up at him and he looked back. Maybe he was up for a bit of round two.
"It is good to see you happy though"
Jay had said while I was busy staring at Callum.
"You gonna see him again?"
Just as Jay had said that, Callum left. Ben was confused as ever but this was Callum, I mean it wasn't unusual for him to do this after seeing Ben.
"Doubtful, comes with a lot of baggage. Just have to be a one off"
Ben got up to leave and to tell Jay that he would see him later. Ben leaves the cafe to run after Callum.
"Alright?"
"Fine, yeah just forgot my wallet"
Callum says while walking away from me
"I can pay for your breakfast"
Callum comes closer to me, what I'd give to have another night like last night.
"No, you can't"
"Why? Cause of last night?"
"I'm not talking about this in public"
"Then come to the car lot"
"I'm not talking about it full stop"
Okay Callum was starting to get on his nerves
"It's just two mates chatting"
"And that's how I want it to stay, just mates"
Ben sighs, when was Callum going to understand?
"You can't pretend it never happened Callum, I know what I'm talking about here. You can't change what you are, you can fight it, can't change it"
"You're wrong, its not who I am, I love Whitney"
"Saying it doesn't make it true"
Ben shouted, yet again he walked away from him. This was getting slightly tedious. Ben had tried his best to tell him the truth, but would Callum listen? Nah, of course not. Ben had been through it himself; he knew what Callum was going through. He was trying his best to offer some sort of support, but Ben didn't know what else to do if he wasn't going to listen.
Callum hated himself so much, he knew ben's words were true, but he didn't want Whitney knowing anything of what happened last night. He couldn't hurt her, but he was hurting Ben even more. Callum didn't know what to do.
