The morning light was creeping through the curtains though they were drawn tight. Benton blinked his eyes open and realized again he was not on his bed. He was still on the couch though there was no one next to him when he moved. He bolted to a sitting position looking around and scanning the room. Last night could not have been a dream of any sort. He knew it had happened. He could still feel her body pressed up against his. Even though it was long past the time she had fallen asleep. There was a slight movement at the curtains, and he stretched his body as he stood and made his way over to where she was. He had to assume it was her at the windows as no one else was there. He made his way over almost silently and then as he got closer he could hear the almost silent sobs that were coming from the area. He wanted to rush there and to find out what had happened to her to make her upset. They had ended the night for the second time on a good note he had thought.

  A few days later of sitting in the dark and room Benton walked in from being downstairs in the lab doing whatever he was working on for the day. Luckily she had just gotten out of the shower for the first time in a few days for that he was grateful. Her hair was still wet and she had put it in braids. Her hair was just a little bit longer than her Shoulders he was glad that she was finally starting to take care of herself again on her own. She looks like she felt better for the first time in a few days. The doctors had been basically keeping her asleep most of the time except to eat and drink a few things. The medicine that she had been placed on was enough to knock her out very quickly. Benton had watched over her for the first day then he had gone to the lab the next day with her phone programmed that if she had it and sent him a message he would be back within minutes. There wasn't anything that he could do except wait for her. he was getting used to the idea of ha

  When they went back to the private apartment they found a lunch waiting for them from Benton’s private chef. As she sat down at the table to eat because he was going to force her too if she didn't do so willingly. He wanted to share with her with what he had found the day before while she was sleeping. He had been doing a lot of research into some of the ideas that they had had the night that they had spent on the couch together. “So, over the past couple of days well you've been sleeping I've been doing a few research projects and some of the things that we discussed that night.” Benton began as she took a mouthful of the light salad that was in front of her. He wasn't going to push what she ate as long as she ate something. “I wanted to tell you what I found. First off, the whole idea of that go fund me website that you had told me about seems to have a lot of promise. I really do think that you should be the one in charge of finding people in need and I wil

  Over the next couple of days well she focused on everything having to do with the website and finding people to possibly donate money for and making a list for who's computer IT specialists who can find just about any type of information on a person so she could verify if their claims were true or not. Benton seemed even more focused on his project. However, he also noticed that even though he had made the claim to his mother and sisters that they had not shown up. That was completely unlike them, so he was expecting them to show up at any given moment. He was prepared to deal with that as well knowing that if they did it was going to put a target right on Kelly's head. Though she had her own apartment right next to his she had never been in it longer than five minutes. He had taken to sleeping on the couch and that had taking a toll on his back as well. He missed his bed, but he would let her use it until she was comfortable with being next to him again. Though they

  He was grateful to find out that the door wasn’t locked when he went to turn the mob it had just been closed. She had seemingly disappeared was quite obvious that she didn't want to see or deal with him at the moment. It wasn't till he saw a huge pile of clothes already on the bed. He knew that this was going to be the fight of his life time. She wanted to leave. She had absolutely no idea that he had been talking about her and he didn't know how long he’d been talking and she over heard. When he could see Kelly again he saw that she looked like she was completely defeated. She wouldn't make eye contact with him at all and she wouldn't even look in his direction. She was at the point of searching for something to throw the clothes and so she could leave. There was a lot of other things that she had put on the bed as well. Benton knew that he had to act quickly and he needed to act right now. He walked over to where she was and placed his hand on her sh
