"You were angry both times, and your emotions most likely clouded your judgment; on Friday, you were calm and could read him." Jenny said something that made me reconsider what I had previously thought.

"I mean, I suppose." Shrugging my shoulders, I said.

"Trust your gut; if it tells you he's an awful person, he is; if it tells you he's not, don't trust it." I know it's easier to believe he's a bad person, but don't 't be too harsh on him." She responded.

My gut told me there was more to him than meets the eye, but what scared me was that he was just a monster with no redeeming qualities.

Jenny left around 4 o'clock, telling me to be safe and to call her if I ever needed her to kill him.

Despite the fact that Jenny and I had nearly all of my pantry, I became extremely hungry around 11 pm I was aware that going out at night in New York was extremely dangerous, but my favorite ice cream shop was calling my name. I put on a sweatshirt and sweatpants, threw my hair up in a ponytail, and b

    Now that she had a rational moment to think about what they'd done, she started to worry. Hannah had quite specifically told them that Ben wasn't ready for a relationship, and there was to be no more unsolicited sexual contact. Well, Ben started it so it couldn't be called unsolicited. Still, she was worried that she might have done him some harm emotionally.She must have been frowning as she felt his fingers smoothing out the crease between her eyes."This is a no frown zone," Ben teased. "Any thoughts that may cause them must be banished."She looked up at him and smiled. "Sorry.""Maybe we should get cleaned up," he suggested. "I've been told my shower can fit three.""Are you suggesting I shower with you?" she said with a raised eyebrow."Not if you feel that would be too intimate," he smiled.She chuckled and slid off of him. Ben led the way into the bathroom, and she couldn't tear her eyes away from his naked body to notice the shower."Hello! Amazing bathroom reno here!" Ben s

    "Friends with benefits? I've never thought of myself in those terms before. I've always considered myself the marriage type. Old fashioned," Ben said and looked inwards. He was surprised to discover that he genuinely felt a lot better. He still had trouble accepting the idea that they loved him, but the fear of hurting them by returning the emotions was significantly reduced. It was like a weight had been lifted from his heart.He looked at Gabriella in wonder. "How could Daniel have been so blind to not see how incredible you are and how damn lucky he was to have you?"She looked at Ben in surprise and blushed deeply. He reached out and took her hands in his. He brought them up to his lips and gently kissed her knuckles. She gasped softly."Gabriella, I feel so much better. I can't begin to describe how grateful I am to have you in my life. You..." Ben was at a loss for words as his heart filled with love for the beautiful woman sitting next to him on the couch. A tear rolled down hi

    "Near the end, she was likely trying to distance herself from you. Limiting the intimacy in preparation for the separation," Gabriella suggested. "But before that, generally, you two were compatible?"Ben frowned. "Uh, I've mentioned that my body acts like a teenager. My libido has always been a little... overactive. Wendy was sometimes annoyed by that. Not angry, really, just annoyed."Gabriella smirked. "More than one woman could endure?"Ben smiled then caught the nuance of Gabriella's question. He frowned again."What?" she asked, seeing his quick mood swing."I'm not that kind of man," he rumbled."What kind of man?" she asked."I don't- I'm not promiscuous! I'm not unfaithful!" he growled."Have you made promises of fidelity to any of the women you've been with recently? I understand you've specifically told one the exact opposite, yet she still wants to be with you. Another promised you no strings attached relationship. Neither calls you unfaithful. Neither has anything but pra

    "No, Ben, you're going to see the counselor to find out why you feel you're not worthy of being loved. To find out what events in your past led you to that conclusion. Those of us who love you, who are in love with you, feel pain when we see you hurting because of your misconceptions. But you shouldn't worry about our pain because healing yourself will eliminate ours.""In love?" he whispered."Yes, you silly man! You have a few women in love with you, and they accept the fact that others are in love with you. Something else you need to understand is that love CAN work that way." Gabriella smiled and shook her head. "I wasn't supposed to be here as your counselor, just a friend. What else would you like to talk about?"He'd only had bad experiences with people who said that they loved him, Wendy being only the most recent. These experiences went back... a long way. He looked at Gabriella's open and friendly expression. He wished she was his counselor, but then he'd feel wrong about bu

    Ben sat in his living room with tears slowly rolling down his cheeks. Hannah sat on the ottoman in front of him. When she'd arrived first thing in the morning, he'd been a little surprised. He'd let her in and took her coat. As he turned back, her open palm caught him on the cheek. It wasn't a particularly hard slap, but it rang his head as he'd been completely unprepared. Once he regained stability, she stepped forward and hugged him fiercely, calling him her hero. His whole body locked up until she stepped back."Ben, which of those two things hurt the most?" Hannah said with compassion in her eyes.The question was so odd he froze and actually thought about it. The slap had been a surprise, but the hug and praise had a far more uncomfortable impact on his body.He stared at Hannah. "The hug.""You see how backward that is, right?" she asked hopefully.He nodded, and she led him into the living room to sit on the couch. She pulled up the ottoman directly in front of him. He had tear

    Tina looked around with tears in her eyes. She felt trapped by their stares and she became a little angry. Ben wasn't the only one hurting!Trish knew that look. "Tina, I know you came home in tears that morning too. It will help you to talk, it really will. No one here is going to judge you. We're just concerned. I know you have or had a special relationship with Ben. Something happened that night. Did he hurt you?"Tina looked at Trish in shock. She shook her head."Please Tina! Let your friends help you." Catherine said gently.Tina looked at the concerned faces. "You will not understand my relationship with Ben. You will judge us as Trish did. Even now she does not understand."Gabriella leaned forward. "We want to understand. You're hurting. Ben's hurting. We want more than anything to make things better. We were there when Ben saved you and Christopher. I have some idea of what you feel for him. You can clear that up for us. Make us understand."Tina looked at Gabriella and knew
