Ben… (11)

It's just a short one but more is coming soon xxx!

But now it's November…
Now don't get me wrong I was excited to be going to live with Ben. So excited- that was the happiest I had ever been! But there was something wrong: my parents don't know about us getting married! They had been angry enough about us going to Germany ( that's understandable ) they had calmed down, now. But if they knew we were getting married it could throw them of the edge. They would never let me go!
I was lying to Ben, as well. He thinks that I had told him. He was coming round that day to speak to them… and give me my ring. He was being all old fashioned- it was adorable! He was going to ask for Dad's permission… but I knew Dad would say no! I was so confused and didn't know what to do.
When Ben came round he greeted me with a "hey beautiful, how is my fiancé." I told him to shhh before leading him into the house.
"What's wrong?" I played with my hands, I didn't know what to say.
"I don't know how to tell them, I was going to, I swear, I just don't know how!" Ben waited ages to finally exhale and answer.
"Maybe now isn't the right time."
"What do you mean."
"I'm not angry, Alice, I just mean that our parents will think we are too young! And maybe they are right!" And so Ben showed himself out and I sat by myself trying to kid myself that I had done the right thing.
