Chapter 12 - Big Blue Sun




“Ben?” I ask

“Hmm?” he replies. “Can we just stay here forever?” I continue. He chuckles. “It would be pretty awesome if we could.’ He replies.

I turn my head to look at him. His eyes are closed, his lips curled in a smirk. I keep looking at him, his chest rises slowly up and down.
“Are you asleep yet?” I ask. “Hm hm” he replies. “Okay.” I giggle.

I sit up straight and Ben opens one eye. “Whatcha doing?” he asks. “Getting a bit more comfortable, Isabella.” I laugh. “Isabella?” Ben asks confused. “Never watched Phineas and Ferb?” I smile.
“Ohhh, Isabella! You are such a big kid.” He laughs. “Says the biggest kid.” I reply.

I snuggle up against him and close my eyes for a moment.

A soft kiss on my lips wakes me up. The sun is already going under.. “Why didn’t you wake me up sooner?” I ask.
“Because I fell asleep too.” Ben grins. “This is the second time we sleep together.” he laughs.

I blush but don’t say anything.

“I wanted to enjoy the sunset with you.” Ben confesses. “Why mr Graupner, I never expected you to be the romantic kind of guy.” I say. I nudge his side and sit up straight.

The grass is tall, and my head barely sticks out of it. “You know, no one can see us in here.” Ben grins and wiggles his eyebrows. I slap his arm. “As if.”

“I’m hungry.” I say. “Gonna get some food from the car.” I jump up and skip through the fields to the car. I grab one of my camera’s, a bottle of wine and some food. And skip back.

“You skipped, I can’t believe you skipped.” Ben grins. “Walking is overrated.” I shrug with a smile, while tossing him a bag of potato chips. “Eat and shut up.” I laugh.

We both eat and drink in silence. The bottle of wine is gone, before I realize that both of us can’t drive the car now.

I nudge Ben. “We can’t go now, we are not allowed to drive.”

“Well, then we have to stay here, in the field. Two wildflowers between the roses.” Ben says simply. I sigh and smile. I can live with that.

The sun sets and the view is gorgeous. I snap pictures of it, knowing it won’t be the same when I ever get to see the pictures.
I snap pictures of Ben, and pictures of Ben and me together.

We kiss, we laugh, we chat and drink another bottle of wine. The July nights are still cold, but Ben and I don’t care we sit close together cuddling and having a great time.

I wake up with the sun on my face. I can’t believe I slept outside, in a field. I am curled up against Ben, almost on top of him. His arms loosely wrapped around me, his chest rising and falling with his slow breaths.

“Good morning sleeping giant.” I say, while kissing him on his soft lips.

He slowly opens his eyes and smiles. “Morning sleeping beauty.” he replies. We both grin. “Let’s go. I feel like exploring Spain a bit more, see if there are more fields like this to spend our nights in.” I grin.

I can’t believe that it took us nearly 24 hours to drive a 2 hour distance.

“Let’s go.” I pull Ben back on his feet. “You drive? I drive?” I ask. “I drive.” he replies.

We hop in the car and continue our way. We pass a little town called Vilabella. I awe at the little white houses and the friendly people who wave at us when we pass by. “If I can’t find a job in Seville, I move back here.” I tell Ben. “With these 10 houses, I am not sure if you manage to find a job.” he laughs. “But I can always build a house in a poppy field. And live of water and grass.” I shrug with a grin.

“So, you gonna live the life of a cow?” he laughs.
I poke him and shake my head. “No, the life of a Unicorn. I only have to find out how to shit rainbows.” I giggle.

Ben looks at me with a grin. “Silly, silly lady.” He squeezes my leg and winks. “Miss Wildflower, I guess you found yourself.”

“And we are not even there yet, can you imagine how I will be like when we are in Seville.” I joke. “I will be an unstoppable bouncing ball.” I continue.

Ben pulls a fearful face. “Oh, God, please no!” he laughs. “Is it too late to drop you off at the side of the road now?” He asks.

“Yup sir Giant, you are stuck with me for the rest of the trip.”

We both laugh. It’s so comfortable being around him, I can be myself. I don’t have to be afraid that he will hate me for being a big kid. He understands me.
I wish this road trip could last forever.

I lean back in my chair, feeling the breeze from the opened windows on my face. We pass fields full of olive trees. The air smells nice. “Can we stop here for a moment please?” I ask Ben. He nods and steers the car to the side of the road.

I step out of the car and walk run towards the first tree. Ben follows me and I run faster, giggling like a little kid.

“Where are you going?” Ben shouts. I stop and turn around, and see Ben approaching me with big steps, too quick to stop all of the sudden and he bumps into me. I fall backwards on the ground. I try to get a hold on Ben but I pull him with me onto the ground

He’s on top of me and I can hardly breath because I’m laughing so hard. His eyes narrow, and he lifts his weight off of me.
I am still giggling and wrap my arms and legs around him, pulling him back on top of me. “You are like a big teddy bear.” I giggle. Ben smiles, his eyes focused on my mouth.

“You are kissable.” He mumbles. I feel the electricity go through my body when he presses his lips on mine. I am still clinging to him and open my mouth to let my tongue play with his’.

We break away after what seems like hours, my lips feel swollen and warm. My body tingles of lust.
I look at Ben. His eyes are dark and I lift my head to kiss him again. He pulls away. “You know how hard it is to keep my hands off of you.” He whispers.

I lift my hips a little. “I can feel that.” I smile. My movement causes a groan and Ben’s eyes narrow. “You mean, mean girl.” He groans. “I am about to take you, right here, right now. But I am a gentleman, I don’t do that.” he mumbles while lightly grinding against me.

“Oh C’mon, we already slept together for two nights.” I grin. But I let go of him. He gets up from the ground and offers me his hand. “Come on, lets go find a town where they’ve got some food. I’m starving.” he says.

He bends a little and offers me his back. I climb on his back and wrap my arms around his neck. Placing a sloppy kiss next to his ear.
“Don’t make me put you down.” He threatens with a grin. “Challenge accepted.” I laugh. I place little butterfly kisses in his neck and Ben moans softly.

I jump off his back “I drive!” I say and jump in the car.

Ben stares at me from the passenger seat. I smile. “What?” I ask. “You are beautiful.” He replies.
I blush. “Why thank you sir.” I grin. “You are pretty much gorgeous yourself.”

My hand is on the gear shift, and he places his hand on mine. I glare at him. He leans in for a quick kiss, and I smile.
