Benjamin had been sitting at his usual table at the coffee shop, watching the people around him go about their lives while he drank his caramel frappuccino. It wasn't something he did all that often, but when he did actually sit in the store, he liked watching everyone else rush about thier lives because it made it to where he wasn't focused on his own life in the slightest, nor was he in any rush to head home, so he figured why not stick around for a bit? After a long while of listening to different people talk about their marriages, kids and everything in between he overheard a conversation that caused him to chuckle. Ben sat back until the person she was talking to seemed to have had their fair share of the conversation and was ready to walk away before he walked up, giving the other person the chance to slip away. "Seems like someone's not 'hip' with the slang of this century. Maybe someone should tell them it's not 1980 anymore." He told Riley with a laugh, raising his brow lightly before a smirk pulled on his lips ever-so-slightly as she said she'd stay a bit longer. "Good, was going to offer to buy you a drink and I couldn't do that if you left, could I?"

“No, no, I wasn’t implying that it was music to have sex to..it means good music, you know? Like a good jam? Like ‘wow, that’s a bangin’ tune,” Riley explained with confidence to the person she was speaking to, her British accent eminent within the conversation and a slight smirk on her face that masked her lack of patience. “No, you not feeling that?” She smiled now, shaking her head and shrugging her shoulders. It always amused her to explain her slang to others. “I tried,” the girl began to pack up her things and pulled her phone out of pocket to check the time, to see a message from her boss appear on the screen. Riley groaned, “on second thoughts, I’ll just stay a bit longer."

Benjamin had been out on his daily run when he saw someone clearly jamming out to a song next to him, causing him to chuckle to himself. He couldn’t like and say that he hadn’t been in the other’s shoes before, because he had been. Maybe not that public, but he’d been there. “I’d rather not be running anywhere, but hey, can’t really tell my trainer no. However, who doesn’t like a good lip sync jam session here and there?” He asked, nodding his head at the other. “What song has you so hype today?”

Neon was completely immerse in his lip sync redemption of Sorry Not Sorry by Demi Lovato. “Nothing like a good run through the streets and a lip sync to set the tone of the day, don’t you think?!” He asked humorously to the person next to him on the sidewalk as the signal turned red.

[ ✉ ] imessage: rose  ⇌ benji.

Rose: I should have known from the beginning. It was too idealistic to be real, but I mean, look at George Clooney, right? People always had him as a non-relationship type of guy and now he is married and has twins.

Rose: Besides, he got married late too. There is always hope?

Benjamin: I mean, he's cool as hell and if I wasn't married and he was interested, not sure I'd tell him no. George married someone that's like twenty-five years younger than him though, which people complain about too. Welcome to dealing with the media, can't please them no matter what you do.

Benjamin: There is, and if you want, I can casually mention you in a conversation with him the next time he comes to Boston..

gracebowyer:

Grace knew Ben. Could read him like a book, and she understood him when few did. Understood his reasons, his actions, and even his thought process. It took the time to understand a man like Ben, but she chose to take that time because Grace Bowyer fell head over heels for him. She knew she wanted him in his life the second time she saw him. It was at a small hole in the wall bar that her father and his crew from the firehouse station went after a hard shift. That bar was a part of her inner world. The bar with the Irish flag, and where everyone knew everyone. Yes, it was there as she watched him walk into the dark lite bar that she knew. However, though, that wasn’t to say that Grace struggled with their relationship because she did. The late nights, the rumors and his wife. At times Grace, it was too much for the graduate student to deal with, but when her state of mind got to that point all she had to do was remember how he made her feel. The blissful moments, the late-night conversations in her bed, the corny jokes and the way he looked at her – set her skin on fire.

The fact that they had to keep their relationship hidden never bugged Grace. It was theirs. Their secret from the world. Though, she worried. Oh, how Grace worried for his career and for him.

Grace could feel Ben become tense and fear crept throughout her whole body. They had become sloppy – kissing in the back of the bar? God. Losing the heat that was coming from Ben and the feeling of his body against hers caused Grace to groan in protest. She was afraid to look towards the bar until he pulled away from her and placed a small kiss on her forehead. Removing her hands, the petite brunette silently listened. He was right, they couldn’t do this, but hearing that he wanted to make her smile. It was a small smile, but it was a smile.

“Please just stop.” Grace pleaded as she took a step away from Ben as if touching him would burn her. “Your selfishness is what I love about you, Ben. And you didn’t put me through anything.” Pausing for a few seconds, she gathered her strength. “– I choose this. I choose this life the second you walked into that Irish bar to meet me.” Swishing her angled bangs out of her face, Grace realized what was happening here. She was falling back into it – their affair. She wasn’t supposed to be talking to him, kissing him or bringing up their past. “ I – um – I should go back inside.” Avoiding his eyes, Grace opened up her clutch purse and glanced at her phone and silently read the time. They had been outside for an hour now. Fuck.

Without saying another word, Grace turned away from Ben and walked towards the back door of the bar even though she wanted to stay outside with him. Stopping at the door and with a soft sign, Grace looked over at him. “Let me buy you a shot.” Yes. Friends bought other friends a shot. That was a normal thing to do. Though it was impossible for this situation to be normal, but Grace was willing to try her hardest. “Then you can go back to brooding in your corner.” Her smile wicked as she tried to lighten the mood between them. She was ready to continue their conversation knowing where it would lead and she wanted to avoid him asking about her saying what I love about you.

He'd lived his entire life thinking that no one understood how he was, why he chose to live the life that he did and then along came her. Someone who not only looked past all of that, but understood it and could sense his emotions even if he had a damn hard time showing them to the rest of the world. How she did it, he didn't know.. and he questioned that all the time but even though he was confused by it, he accepted it and deep down, it hit him like a truck. Benjamin never had that before, never had someone that looked past all of his flaws, looked past everything and not only was okay with it, but accepted him and his insane lifestyle. Accepted having to be a secret to the world. He could remember the day he'd first seen her, remember that the second he laid eyes on her, he was drawn towards her. However, he also knew that things were complicated enough, but he let himself be selfish, let himself persue something he knew he shouldn't have because there was just something about her that he found intoxicating. Something that he didn't want to give up, something he wasn't sure he'd ever get again. But he knew it couldn't be easy on her. The whole situation was rough and in all honesty, he figured she would have left him long before she did due to how crazy everything was. But she didn't, and he was shocked by that, But then she broke things apart and all he had was the memories of what they had been.

The memories were great, and he could remember everything so vividly, but he was selfish and after a while of moping over the memories, he knew they wouldn't be enough. Not really. He missed her, missed everything and that caused his selfish side to show once more, which is why he'd even followed her out of the bar in the first place.

Him letting his selfishness take over in such a public area was foolish, he knew that. It was silly and he shouldn't have done it, but there was a part of Benjamin that knew for a fact he wouldn't take it back in a heartbeat. In fact, he wanted to do it again, but he knew that he couldn't. "Please don't make it harder for me to say 'no' then it already is." He told her with a light chuckle, squeezing her hand lightly before she let go of him, his jaw clenching shut at the loss of contact. Had this been a more private situation, he would have kept her as close as possible, but even though he wanted that more than anything, he couldn't risk that and he knew she'd understand. She always did.

He was about to argue with her, but her words caused him to stop dead in his tracks, his heart pratically stopping as he realized the words that she'd just said. It was scary to think about... love? She loved that part of him? Benjamin couldn't understand how anyone could love him or love the fact that he was selfish and the fact that she'd just told him that caused his brows to knit together. "You chose it, yes. But I let you, and that was my own fault. You deserve better than to be hidden from the world, Grace. You deserve better than me. The 'wild child', the 'playboy' that the media knows me to be does not deserve for you to be so damn understanding about everything, for you to even care about me." He told her with a sigh, running a hand through his hair. "I don't deserve you, whatsoever." Ben admitted before she glanced at her phone, causing him to look down at his watch. An hour? It'd seemed like twenty minuets but he was sure people were starting to wonder where she was, he couldn't stop her from going back inside even though he desperately wanted to.

As she turned away from him, he let out a small groan, crossing his arms over his chest to stop him from pulling her back towards him. He had to let her make her own choices, without influencing them just because he wanted to be selfish. However, her comment caused a small chuckle to escape his lips, his brow raising at the offer. "I suppose I can't really turn down a free shot, can I?" Ben asked, playfully rolling his eyes at her 'brooding' comment. "I happen to be rather good at it, besides, I only brood when I have a reason to do so. Now that the blonde Ken doll is out of the picture, thanks to me, I don't need to brood." He shot back with a smirk, waiting for her to ask what he meant by 'thanks to me'. "But you know I was sitting there, which means you knew I saw you two.. or figured I did. Where you trying to make me jealous, Grace?" He asked, holding the door open for them both, trying to act as nonchalant as he possibly could. He was an actor, for God's sake, why was it so hard to pretend they were nothing more than friends?!

Lies In The Dark

[benjirockfvrd-blog]

ofmases:

“Good, you needed to be humbled sometime.” Mason noted, rolling her eyes at his little antics. His comment only made her smirk grow as she flipped her hair over her shoulder dramatically, pretty proud of her job well done. “Duly noted.” The brunette murmured, crossing her arms across her chest as she thought about the spark of popularity after the actor had worn her band shirt out in public. They had a pretty nice following from the start, but that made their band’s account triple in followers almost overnight, same with their listens on Spotify and views on Youtube. “You definitely helped put us on the map, which is something I’ll always be grateful for. — And you better hope it’s not you. I know you’re an actor, but I bet it’ll be hard for you to act like you’re not into me when I’m draped all over you.” She mused. Mase licked her lips, glancing down at her shoes before returning her gaze to him. “I dunno. I thought I was bein’ as clear as possible without flat out saying I wanted your dick in my mouth. Meet me at my place? I’ll race you there.”

"I'd have to disagree with that. I happen to like the 'cocky wild child' title I've held for a while." He shot back, wiggling his brows at her in a teasing manner before he found himself rolling his eyes as well. "Don't let it go to your head, Mason." He teased, nudging her with his elbow lightly before she crossed her arms over her chest. "Anything to help a friend of mine. However, I will say that the amount of times I got asked if I'm banging you increased ten fold after that day. Can't a dude just wear a friend's band t-shirt without people assuming I'm sleeping with said friend." He said with a chuckle. "If only they knew that they might just be right, even though I lie and tell them they're not on a daily basis." The smirk on his lips growing bigger as he spoke, shaking his head at her lightly. "I pretend that I'm head over heels in love with my 'wife' every single day of my life, I think I could pretend that you don't have any affect on me whatsoever for one photo shoot." He replied, his brow raising at her bluntness. "That's not fair and you know it. I have to pretend I'm doing something else which means you'll beat me. But I'll be there in twenty minutes, that's a promise."

liss-jorgensen:

“Scotland is beautiful too. I could see myself living in Edinburgh, no question,” she murmured in agreement, nodding her head slightly. “Oh, everywhere is a gem for it’s own reason. But if you only have the one opportunity….it’s gonna be one of the big ones, don’t you think? They’re the big ones for a reason,” Liss pointed out, one eyebrow raising up. “Not the biggest Lord of the Rings fan, I’m going to be honest. I know, I know - but I tried to watch them and had multiple people try to get me to watch them with them, and I just could never get into it. That’s not to say I’m not a fantasy person, because Harry Potter? Game of Thrones? Love. Lord of the Rings…not so much,” Liss said - she often got a weird reaction when she said she had never seen the movies, but she just couldn’t get through them. She’d fallen asleep multiple times on the first one. “Personally, I’m not the biggest heat person - but that has more to do with humidity. So I could somewhere with a hot and dry climate and probably enjoy it.” 

"I would love to live in Wales, anywhere in Wales, honestly. Which means Wales should also go on my list. Edinburgh was absolutely amazing as well, though." He said with a nod of his own as a smile pulled on his lips. "I'd agree with you if I didn't think so poorly of a few places I've been. Most places are gems, though.. and people don't think about it like that." He chuckled, clutching his heart as if he was in pain. "I'm trying to not to judge you, but I might be ever-so-slightly." Benjamin teased before holding his hands up. "Only joking. I know some movies aren't for some people and that's life. Harry Potter and Game of Thrones are both phenomenal though so I'm right there with you on those. I grew up reading The Hobbit and whatnot so whenever the movies came out I was all about them." He explained with a nonchalant shrug, nodding his head. "Even though I grew up in LA, I'm not much of a heat person either, honestly. Colorado was wonderful in the summer and there's little to no humidity, and then there's anywhere across the pond too."

❛  To  be  clear,  I  don’t  think  anyone  would  be  eager  to  meet  someone  not-so-friendly  here. ❜  she  chuckled,  at  the  obvious  fact.  the  only  reason  she  moved  to  boston,  wasn’t   because  she  knew  something  about  the  place  or  had  a  family  whom  lived  there.  hell  no!  she  just  closed  her  eyes  &  pointed  her  index  finger  on  the  map,  &  decided  it  would  be  a  fresh  starter  for  both,  she  &  her  daughter.

❛  I  know  how  to  speak  fluently  with  a  few  languages, too.  Yeah…  I’ve  thought  it’d  be  something  cool  for  her,  that  can  be  helpful  when  she  grows  up. ❜   alice  listening  him  talking  how  he  reacted  to  his  family  when  he  was  younger  chuckling,  she  could  be  slightly  related…  her  family  ahem…  in  general  everybody  is  dysfunctional  in  certain  way…  long  &  short  story.   ❛ Oh  my  God! Indeed  is  a  weird  thing  to  think…  Is  like  you  press  the  button  if  you  need  the  accent,  if  you  don’t,  just  switch  it  off. ❜

❛  Don’t  worry. ❜  she  referring  of  he  meeting  her  daughter,  not  pushing  much  of  subjects,  sometimes  a  few  of  her  friends  like  kids  &  want  to  spend  time  with  her,  which  is  totally  cool  to  alice.   now  she  chuckled  of  what  he’s  going  to  request,  she  looked  at   the  entrance  of   the  place.   ❛  I’m  thinking  of  grab  one  Sex  on  the  beach.  A  drink  with  vodka.  ❜

Her comment caused his brow to raise as he gave her a small nod of his head. "Well when you put it that way, I feel a little silly for making the comment in the first place because that is an obvious thing, huh?" Ben chuckled, running a hand through his hair. Benjamin didn't have a choice when it came to moving to Boston, which meant he tried to avoid meeting people that would make his time there stressful or cause him to get into any sort of arguments that could put his career even more at risk.

"I think the companies that started it, did so because of Ariel and the fact that she's extremely popular to this day. Not to mention that everyone knows what Disney is. It was a genious thing to start when you think about it. Mermaids and unicorns are extremely 'on trend' right now and mermaids were easier to recreate than unicorns." He said, trying his best not to chuckle at the thought of someone trying to recreate a unicorn. It wasn't a thought he'd ever thought about until right then, but even then it was enough to cause him to laugh. Was that even possible? He didn't know and he wasn't sure he wanted to. "Of course I can, it's not a big deal." He told her with a smile, shrugging his shoulders. "We need someone who is versitile anyways and from the list of jobs you keep, I think that you'd be perfect for it, honestly. However, I do have to ask you a strange question because it's kinda a horror slash suspense flim so I need to know if you have an issue with blood? Well, fake blood.."

"I wouldn't have learned as many as I have had it not been for the fact I was tired of having to have a translator telling me what my fans were saying all the time. Plus, I figured if I could talk to them in their own languages, it'd make them feel like the experience was more personal. It is extremely helpful." He agreed with a smile, tucking his hands in his pockets as he listened to her talk. "I go into work sometimes and hear co-stars talking in accents but then they get into their role and boom, the accent is gone. It's absolutely insane and it kind of makes me mad that I was born with a plain old American accent." He joked, a grin pulling on his lips.

Ever since Benjamin had gotten 'married' they media had been asking him about if they were going to have kids anytime soon, and because of that, he tended to avoid any interaction with kids unless it had to do with a role of his because then they couldn't make silly articles about how 'good of a father' Ben would be. "You can't go wrong with anything that has peach in it, honestly. Peach martini's used to be my go to. But I've been hooked on anything with Midori in it this summer. Something about the melon flavor, I guess."

“Yeah, I can see you being grumpy. I just need an IV of coffee all the time. I live off of it,” Alex smiled as she nodded. “That doesn’t mean you are getting out of making it. I have high expectations from you right now.” Letting out a laugh, the brunette shrugged. “I usually just make the same thing a lot since I come home at a different time each day and it’s easier and cheaper.”

"I tend to get my caffeine from soda, which my trainer hates, so he's been trying to get me to drop soda and coffee both because they're 'bad' for me.. I don't think he realizes that if he really expects me to function at five o'clock in the morning, I need my coffee." He chuckled, shaking his head lightly. "Not trying to get out of it in the slightest, it's actually really simple. I'll try not to let you down, but you have to promise to leave me a rating online." He joked, a grin pulling on his lips. "Honestly? I usually just make grilled chicken caesar salads for myself when I'm at home because those are extremely simple and I don't have to put a lot of effort into them."

Riley shrugged. “It probably doesn’t hurt that you’re hot. Like I bet Tom Hanks doesn’t get as many people wanting to bang him even though he is a celebrity. But still, congrats on the sex.” She replied with a small smirk. “I only want the ones your naked in. It’ll make me feel like we’re kind of the same. You get naked for fancy movies. I get naked for strangers on their computers. And Boston is a chill city. We’re more fun than LA.” Her smirk only grew. “We can do that or you can take me back to your, I assume, fancy apartment and make me an expensive fruity drink on your own. Then maybe you’ll get less talking and clothing.”

"So I've been told. I used be notorious for being an asshole, but even then I still had people wanting me because of my looks so I'm grateful I was born with the looks I've got. You never know, there's a big group of people who want to sleep with celebs just so they can say the did so." He shrugged, a small smirk pulling on the corners of his lips as a chuckle passed through them. "I can do that. Those are all kept in their own bin so it's not like I have to go through and separate all of them. Either way, we both get naked in front of cameras so I guess that does make us one in the same." He told her with a grin, his brow raising. "You say that, but have you ever been to a LA party? Nothing compares to that craziness." He explained before he found his brow raising even more at her comment. "Mansion, actually." He quipped with a chuckle. "But I think I like that second option far better than the first one, if I'm being honest." He smirked. "I'm Ben, by the way.. let's get the hell out of here."

She couldn’t help but scoff, somehow a smirk of disbelief found it’s way across her lips and she was shaking her head before speaking, “You know, I don’t think I’d be so surprised if you did.” She muttered, keeping her attention on the outside of their car. It was as glamorous as to be expected, whoever coordinated the event pulled out all the stops that would be possible in a city like Boston. Not exactly what she was used to but still charming enough to win over her admiration and most likely the hearts of whoever watched the event on television. Though, she had realized that they spoke without the familiarity of a married couple and her eyes darted to the rear view mirror. A stealthy attempt to see what their driver thought of them. However, the driver didn’t seem to entertain her gaze or perhaps just didn’t realize. Somehow, she figured that anyone involved behind the scenes of their facade was probably briefed on the situation that contractually bound them together.

With great anticipation, the time finally arrived to step out in public once more. She took a deep calming breath to help centre herself just before moving on. A fake smile, a toss of her hair and a flirty demeanour – all small preparations to help her on. She stepped into her role naturally as soon as her hand was in his. Allowing him to help her out of the car, she looked up at him as though she deeply admired him, her eyes fixated on him like she was truly in love. Of course, Helena had to make sure to turn back to their driver to offer him a ‘thank you’ just before they walked towards the bustling crowd. After all, it was the least she could do after subjecting him to their bickering. “Let’s go,” She chimed with a believable smile and gentle tug at his hand. Consciously, she made sure to add in all the small gestures people picked up on, anything to make the act more believable. “Tonight should be easy enough–even for you.” The last of her words said under her breath and mostly drowned out by the sound of camera’s clicking while others shouted for attention.

Her comment wasn't a false one, Benjamin used to be the type to be extremely selfish and do something like, but he couldn't anymore and she knew it as well as he did. "I think you would, since both of our careers would be ruined if I pulled something like that. However, if you happen to hear some noise from my side of the house tonight, ignore it. Unless you're drunk and want to join in." He shot back, an extremely wicked smile pulling on his lips as he shifted in his seat to make himself more comfortable, half tempted to drape his arm around her shoulders just to mess with her. However he didn't because he'd seen her eyes dart towards the rearview mirror, an attempt to figure out of the driver had been paying attention to them bickering, he assumed. But he also assumed the driver was being paid enough money to keep his mouth shut, or had some contract that bound him just as their contract bound them to thier marriage. How funny was it that a piece of paper could control so many people?

Being in front of people had been something that he'd grown up around, he was used to the flashing lights, the questions, everything. But none of that prepared him to have to fake being in love with someone who was now legally his wife. A thought that he fought for so damn long because that wasn't him, but here he was, stepping out of a blacked out car, offering his hand to Helena as he put on the facade he wore every time he was out and about with her, or any time he was asked about her in interviews. After she got out of the car, Ben gave the driver a small nod, glancing over at her with a grin that screamed 'love' as she tugged on his hand, quickly following her onto the red carpet set up. The second they were prompted to stop, his arm was wrapped around her waist, pulling her closer to him to make the entire act as believable as possible, placing a small kiss to her cheek as she commented about the night being easy. "Sweetheart, you've got nothing to worry about from my end." He retorted, glancing towards the people who were yelling their names before turning back to her. "Just don't drink too much, unless you really want another repeat of the last time we both got drunk. I don't think the driver would want to see that side of me, however it might make things more believable since we were bickering in the car."

isaacwinston:

Benjamin did have a point – as rare as it was to run into a successful actor, it was even more rare to meet a person who could willfully admit they were actively in the witness protection program. Still, Isaac offered a shrug and good natured smile in reply. “I don’t know, it’s still interesting. Better than saying you work in a cubicle for eight hours a day, right?” Isaac couldn’t cut it behind a desk himself, so it was even more difficult to picture the other sitting down with a straight tie and data files to enter for hours upon hours. He nodded along as Ben explained his career in more detail, only able to imagine how awful those dry spells in acting really felt. “I know for quite a few, it seems to be a combination of the two, isn’t it? Cute kid, average looking adult, but inspiration to go to college instead,” he agreed with a slow nod. “You always could become a self-taught mechanic,” Isaac mused with a quiet laugh of his own. “Pick it up as a hobby and who knows? You ever want to retire from acting and you’ll have a backup career already there waiting for you.” He wanted to mention that everyone regretted their career decisions at some point, but that felt like a given when it came to adulthood. Everyone had a wish for a do-over and it was rarely granted. “Oh, I’m sure you’ll see him one of these days. I’ve never understood the tourists who come to New York and then seek him out – of all the things you could want to see in the city.” He shook his head.

The second Isaac brought up working in a cubicle for eight hours, Benjamin cringed. He could barely sit through read-throughs which were maybe an hour or two, tops without wanting to yank his hair out because he wanted to get up and do something. "I don't know how anyone on this Earth find sitting at a desk for eight hours fun. I know sometimes people don't have a choice, but there are people who actually love doing that. I think I'd get so ridiculously antsy." He replied, furiously shaking his head as to rid himself of the thoughts entirely. A desk job wasn't for Ben and would never be his thing. He couldn't judge people who found it to be their dream job, but it didn't mean he couldn't question it. "More so than not, yeah. That comes with it though, everyone who goes into this line of business knows that and prepares for it as much as we can. I went to college as well but I honestly don't think it was even necessary, just did it to please my parents so if someone has the strive to go to college, I tell them do that before they chose a long-term career." He told the other with a nod of his own. "That's actually not the worst idea. I've got a motorcycle and I'd actually like to learn how to take care of her instead of having to pay other people pay to do so." Ben agreed, mulling over the idea for a moment. "That's something I might look into tonight when I've got nothing else to do because it's a really good idea.. not to mention the fact that I really don't have a 'back up job'. Not that I believe I'll be giving up acting anytime soon, but I might grow out of the 'beauty' or 'age' quotas here soon." He chuckled, running a hand through his hair as he looked back out the window. "Wait, you're saying that people actually fly out to New York to just see him? Sometimes I question people in general." He said, running his hand over his face in disbelief. "There's a million and one things in New York to do and yet, they fly out to see a naked man. Don't they have Google?"

“What? Really? None of my friends would look at me like that, then again I am surrounded by overly ambitious law students.” She shrugged. “I mean movies are different I guess, they are make believe and mostly fiction.” Liz nodded, using her hands as she spoke. “Don’t get me wrong, I don’t hate dogs, I just.. I would never adopt one because they are loud and messy. Cats are very clean.” Her house was clean at least but maybe that’s the fact she cleaned it every day and hired a cleaning lady twice in a week. “You are an actor, of course you are. I haven’t seen those but I might give it a try. I like Trish more than Jessica, her character spoke to me more.” The blonde chuckled. “Yeah I get that, it’s your home.”

"I live in an industry that overdoes the idea of 'romance' and 'friendships' so in a way, it's kind of 'expected' of me to have someone around at all times even though I do like to be alone." He explained with a nod. "Fair enough. Movies are mostly made from fiction and they over-romanticize most things. So I guess they would be in a world of their own." Ben agreed with a shrug, placing his hands in his pockets. "I'm not judging you in the slightest, honestly. Dogs aren't for everyone just like cats aren't for everyone. You're allowed to have that opinion and I can see where you're coming from. I got my dogs when they were puppies and it was like taking care of two newborn babies. Not that I know what that's like, but I assume they're close." He chuckled. "Is that something people assume all actors are? I haven't really thought about that but since you said it, it makes me wonder. "They're definitely worth the watch. I think Daredevil is the best of the three, especially season two, but they're all good." He explained, raising a brow. "I don't know. It might have been my home town, but I think Boston's taking over that space in my heart."

Rose: I just saw a faux news that Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet were a couple in real life. Turns out they're not. I'm sad.

Benjamin: Let me tell you one thing, Leo is a fuckin' playboy. Cool as hell to hang out with, but really doesn't strike me as the 'relationship' type.

Benjamin: sorry to burst that bubble.

“No, no you are not alone there. I feel the same.” The blonde shrugged, giving him a smile. “You can’t be happy all the time, it’s not realistic. If you were, you wouldn’t appreciate the real happiness when you came across.” She shrugged again. “Nope, it’s a fact. Cats are not mean, they are just aloof, that’s all and there’s nothing wrong with it. I don’t like needy people either, so I don’t wanna deal with needy anything, human, friend, alien, dog..” She chuckled as well, tossing her hair aside. “I’ll pass, I can’t be cocky, I don’t have the ego anyway. Oh so you are a superhero? I don’t watch those movies either, I think I have only seen Jessica Jones and that was it. That’s nice though, I bet it’s very fun to play a superhero. And God no, I’d die in LA. I have been there couple of times and I absolutely hate it.” She wrinkled her nose in distaste. “I am sure they will.”

"At least I'm not alone in that thought, you wouldn't believe the amount of people who have looked at me like I'm nuts when I've told them that." Benjamin chuckled, nodding his head. "I don't know, I'm pretty sure Baymax from Big Hero 6 was happy all of the time and he was able to appreciate it, okay, well, other than when he went full on 'killer' mode, but you get the point. You're right though, you can't be happy all the time, there's too many feelings fighting for attention." He replied with a shrug of his own, raising a brow. "I think I just don't like cats because my parents had one when I was growing up and I'm pretty sure it thoroughly enjoyed scratching the living hell out of me for no reason whatsoever. Dogs are different, though. Dogs will love you no matter what, whereas needy people can get judgy." Ben laughed, a grin pulling on his lips. "Leave the cockiness to me, then. I seem to be decent at it. Something like that, yeah. I'm actually with you on that one, don't watch them.. not even the ones I'm in. Jessica Jones was great though. So is Daredevil, Luke Cage and Ironfist. I'm excited as hell for The Defenders, I'm not going to lie to you." He told her, nodding once more. "It is extremely fun, especially because my character is extremely mobile so it's like going to work on a big playground basically. LA isn't for everyone, that's for damn sure. Only reason I was used to it is because I was born there." Benjamin laughed.

He'd been so focused on his phone screen that he almost didn't even realize they'd actually started traveling to their destination, until he felt the car shift speeds from under the leather that he sat on. Benjamin heard the huff of air that left his 'wife’s' lips and he couldn't help but to give her a look before his eyes returned to his phone. He knew that he needed to get his focus off of his screen the second he stepped out of the vehicle, so he figured he'd spend as much time staring at it as he possibly could.. and before he knew it, the flashing lights that came from the other side of the tinted glass caused an outward groan to escape his lips as he shoved his phone into the inside pocket of his blazer. The charity event wasn't what he had a problem with, it was the fact that he couldn't even truly enjoy himself due to the fact him and Helena had to play the 'happy couple' to the media the entire time they were there. But he knew there wasn't really anything he could do about it, his career was already on the line as it was, he couldn't mess this up too.

"And to think I'd planned on grabbing the nearest girl I saw to give her a kiss." He shot back, turning his body towards hers as a sigh left his lips. "Holding hands.. got it. Why is there so many fucking people here?" He mumbled, mostly to himself before giving her a light nod as the door was pulled open by the driver. After stepping out himself, he quickly turned back around to his 'wife', holding his hand for her out with a stupid smile pulling on his lips, his attitude shifting from annoyed to ‘in love’ in the blink of an eye.

The black car raced through the streets of downtown and on the interior she sat as far away as possible from him. Looking out the tinted windows, she watched as the gleaming lights of the city passed by. Glancing to her side to peered at him through her peripherals, letting out a huff of air to follow. Helena loved her job but when she started out she never knew acting would become a 24/7 ordeal. Turning her attention back to the building they pulled up to, she could already see camera flashes and crowds. Tonight the event they were volunteered to attend was a charity gala. Raising awareness and donations for a city torn through by floods on the opposite coast. Although she didn’t mind, there were worse things she could be spending time on.

“You might wanna hold my hand once we’re out. Looks like there’s quite a bit of camera coverage.” She murmured, her eyes darted from one cameraman to the next as she spoke. Looking back to her ‘husband’, disinterest was clearly written across her face as she asked, “Ready?”
