Reunion - Ben Tag Sloane

[Ben Patridge]

Ben hadn't really been up to much. Since arriving home from school, he'd smoked a little and had an oh so fab dinner of chips and other junk food, since really, it was rare that the Patridge's kept much food in the house. After all, their mother was rarely home anymore and it wasn't as if Ben or Eden were willing to go food shopping on their own.

He was watching TV when the door bell rang. He was dressed in a pair of plaid shorts and a surfer T-shirt, his feet bare as he headed to answer it. He already knew who it would be anyway. Or at least he thought he knew. After running into Sloane the other day, the twins had made plans for her to come over and watch a movie or something. It was supposed to be the three of them, however, Eden had headed out earlier to help Izzy with last minute prom stuff and still had not returned. Not that Ben minded.

Opening the front door, it was indeed Sloane standing there, looking pretty as usual. It really was odd that they'd lost touch so much, but he supposed she wasn't the only childhood friend they'd grown apart from. "Hey," he said with a smile. "Eden actually had to head out for a bit...but I guess she'll be back soon. I have no idea," he admitted with a shrug. "But come in," he told her. "I really haven't been up to much anyway, just watching TV...nothing exciting," he said with a laugh, closing the door behind her as she entered the house, which probably looked mostly the same from when they were kids, only perhaps messier now that the twins didn't have a nanny to clean up after them.

[Sloane Taylor]

Sloane was a girl who honored her promises no matter how small. That was why she found herself standing in front of the Patridge's estate in her shapely dark jeans and a light blue sleeveless top with her hair swept up in a messy bun ready to 'hang out' with her used to be close buddies. Ringing on the doorbell, she expected Eden to open the door and greet her but instead, her twin brother did. Her smile remained the same as she greeted Ben with a soft press of their cheeks together.

"Hey." She listened to his explanation for Eden's absence with a nod before her smile turned slightly wicked. "You didn't have to send Eden away just to spend time with me, Ben." She pushed a lock of hair that had fallen from her messy bun. His invitation to come in was met with her entering the house, purposely brushing against his arm. Pretending to have tripped, Sloane gripped his strong arms.

"Whoa, Ben. Nice arms." She grinned, letting her hand slide down his arm before walking into the house properly. She didn't bother looking around the house as she had ingrained every nook and cranny of this house when she was younger. "Nothing much has changed..." she observed as she looked over her shoulder. "Rec room still at the back?" She asked with a small smile, pointing in the direction of the back of the house where she remembered they mostly hung out in when they were younger.

[Ben Patridge]

Ben grinned. "Oh really? Would just locking her in her room suffice too?" he teased. Sure, Sloane was seriously hot, and sure she had a rep for sleeping around, but how true that was...Ben didn't know. And even when she'd arrived before Eden had returned, it hadn't really crossed his mind to do anything other than what they had originally planned. But as she brushed against his arm...that look she gave him.... Ben pressed his lips together, wondering what it meant, and hoping his sister took awhile longer so he could find out. Sure, Ben was all about reconnecting with an old friend, and he probably wouldn't try anything, but if she did....well, he already was very aware that he wouldn't be saying no.

"Yeah it is," he said about the rec room, "but it's kind of more storage now," Ben said, "mom's not here so much anymore so Eden and I pretty much took over the main living room and just left old toys and stuff in that one," he shrugged. "But you still wanna watch a movie or should we wait until Eden get's back to start one?" he asked. "We have a theater now with like couches and stuff," he explained about the addition that had been made probably not too long after Sloane had stopped coming around. "But we can still chill in the living room, or even the old rec room if you want...they still have TVs," he said.

Ben tended to be a pretty laid back guy, so he figured he'd just go along with whatever Sloane wanted to do. He brushed some of his overgrown hair out of his eyes as he waited for Sloane to decide.

[Sloane Taylor]

Chuckling softly, Sloane squeezed Ben's shoulder lightly. "I forgot how funny you can be." She continued to walk, making sure the blonde boy was aware of how her body moved. She may not have the best reputation around school but she knew how to work her way into some people's...hearts.

His explanation about the rec room got a nod from her until he made her pause with the mention of watching a movie. She turned and Ben was right behind her. They bumped lightly against each other and Sloane grinned. "A theater huh..." she could already imagine what could happen in that place with Eden not being around. "I suppose we could pop some corn and watch a movie while waiting for Eden but...we could do a lot more without the distraction of a movie."

Her tone was suggestive but her smile seemed innocent. "What did you have in mind um...chilling wise?" She asked, wanting to give him a chance to suggest something. She was all for making the decisions but she could still let a guy lead. She would just have to put him down a notch or two if he went too far thinking just because she was a girl, she was going to just follow everything he said.

[Ben Patridge]

She was being very suggestive. Ben could be pretty dense about these things, often to high and oblivious to notice someone was coming onto him until they were practically crawling on top of him. It wasn't as if Ben never made a first mood, he just tended to be slow about it because it usually took him awhile to figure out that that was what the girl actually wanted. He was the slowness. Yeah.

But right this moment, the comments...the body language. Sloane certainly wasn't shy as a lot of girls were. She seemed to know what she wanted and he was fairly certain that it was him. She'd only been her a few minutes, but it seemed that the moment that she realized his sister wasn't there all she wanted to do was bone. Okay, well Ben wasn't exactly planning on losing his virginity tonight...but he wasn't exactly going to say no... Oh wait....maybe this was a bad idea....maybe just messing around a bit.... Or.... It was clear that there were thoughts running through Ben's head as he looked at her and she waited patiently for him to answer, but what those thoughts were however, were less obvious as he stood there working it all out.

Had he been a slicker guy, he'd probably be doing this on purpose...making her wait for his answer...making him want her more. But no, of course for Ben it was all unintentional as many of the things he did were. "Well...I could show you my room, I'm sure that's different from when we were kids...no longer have the superman sheets," he said lightly as a smile formed from his lips, starting as a half smile before growing into a full one.

Part of him was still second guessing himself. Just because of her rep...he shouldn't assume that sex was her intention. But she seemed into him. Oh well, he'd take her to his room and see where things went from there.

[Sloane Taylor]

The invitation to his room had Sloane forcing back a smile. Could it be possible that the boy was as naive as his sister when it came to suggestive behaviour? Sloane knew them when they were way too young to know anything really but Ben and Eden were now smokers; heavy smokers from what Sloane heard from Eden which meant they weren't exactly too naive.

Sloane was thinking too much and she knew it. She shouldn't because she wasn't looking for anything from either of the Patridge twins. They were both ridiculously adorable and fun to play with. And that was that. If she made a move on Ben and he reciprocated, she couldn't really blame herself for corrupting him...right? And if Eden was tempted into experimenting even though she was clearly in a committed relationship, Sloane was not going to take any responsibility for it. She just wanted fun.

"Aww, but the superman sheets were super bitchin." She teased before following Ben up to his room. The decor was definitely different. And as promised, the bedsheet was not a cartoon superhero anymore. She sat on the edge of the bed, bouncing lightly on it before looking at Ben. "So what do you do for fun in here, Ben?"

[Ben Patridge]

Ben was actually very naive when it came to suggestive behavior. Normally when he got any from a girl he'd be high and drunk and wouldn't have to actually try. Ben didn't like trying. He never tried. He just did. If he got lucky, he got lucky. That was his attitude about things.

He led Sloane to his room which was in the same place but probably looked entirely different. His queen sized bed sat in the center of the room, unmade and covered in navy blue Egyptian cotton sheets of some crazy high thread count. And his simple blue and white striped duvet cover was half crumpled at the foot of the bed and half on the floor. There were a few old T-shirts on the floor that he'd worn earlier in the week, although most of his laundry had made it safely to the hamper where it would sit until he sent it out to get cleaned and folded or he bought new clothes. Those were just the things that happened when no parents were around and two teens were raising themselves.

His walls were mostly blank...he wasn't really one for cheesy posters or anything like that. There were a few framed surfing photos and some trophies from surfing competitions, but that was the extent of the decoration.

He plopped down beside Sloane on his bed, grinning when she asked what he did for fun in here. "Smoke," he said, motioning to the large glass bong that was sitting beside his bed on the floor. It was clear that it had been used earlier as it needed to be cleaned before using again. "You don't smoke though, do you?" he asked, pushing some of his hair out of his eyes once more. "Okay, maybe most of the fun stuff is outside of my room," he admitted. His large white computer was in his room but that was really his only entertainment source. He probably could have gotten a TV for there or even moved some of his video games in there if he so chose but he didn't really see much point since he had those things in other unused rooms.

He glanced over at Sloane, wondering if she'd make a move on him or if he should make a move on her or if he should just stick in a movie like they had originally planned.

[Sloane Taylor]

Shaking her head when he asked if she smoked, her hand inching close to Ben's thigh. "I prefer other...more natural ways of getting high." She admitted. Sliding a leg up on the bed, she tucked it under her and turned to face Ben. "I could think of a lot of fun stuff you can do right here." She looked down to where their skin touched. It was such a contrast; him having tanned skin from being under the sun for so long with hers pale because of her activities indoors weighed heavier than ones she did outdoors.

"So I have a confession to make," she tried on a sheepish look on her face, tucking her hair behind one ear. Sloane was not coy but somehow she felt that Ben would appreciate it. How true that was, Sloane wasn't going to question. "I was hoping Eden wouldn't be here. Kind of wished for it throughout the journey here." She grinned, looking up at Ben with what she surmised to be a shy smile. Sloane wasn't lying really about wanting Eden to not be there. But she supposed it would be more accurate if she told him that she was just hoping she would be alone with at least one of them.

Without really any indication that he might be into it, Sloane moved forward slightly, catching the side of his face with one hand, pulling him close before pressing her lips against his. It was soft at first but when she felt him reciprocate, she went all out for it, sliding her hands down to the cup the back of his head, tilting her head slightly to deepen the kiss.

[Ben Patridge]

The more she talked, the more Ben thought that perhaps he should make a move. More natural ways of getting high? Seriously, whatever else could she mean? Unless she was some sort of adrenaline junky but Ben doubted that. Sloane had a reputation for sleeping around, she had to be talking about sex. The question was, was Ben ready to go that far? Well, yes, he totally was. It was more whether he wanted to do it in a one night stand or not. But somehow, despite her reputation, Ben didn't really think of Sloane in that way. No, he didn't want to date her or anything, but he still knew her. And he had known her for awhile, so somehow the idea of giving it up to her didn't seem so bad.

"If I would have known that, I would have encouraged her to stay out later," he said with a smirk. He was going to kiss her. He was just going to do it. Clearly she wanted him. The thought that she just wanted either of them alone and would have just been happy to put the moves on Eden didn't cross his mind. After all, he'd heard those rumors too, but his sister wasn't like that and Sloane knew it. So, clearly she was just into him.

Always the slowness though, before Ben got to make his move, Sloane made her's, pulling him into a kiss. Not that he minded. He had other moves he could show her after all. He kissed her back, running his hands up and down her sides, man she was hot....

Letting himself turn slight and fall into place leaning against the headboard, he pulled Sloane into his lap as they continued to kiss. He was ready to take it to the next level.

Fade Out...

Wrapped as well? Or we could fade back in and give it and ending...I'm good either way

[Sloane Taylor]

"Maybe you should've," she mumbled against their lips. It didn't take long for them to get entangled in each other's arms but she wasn't going to rush things. She wasn't about to jump his bones just because he was willing. She knew he wouldn't say no of course, if she offered but she wanted to keep Ben. They could be friends, just as she was friends with Jay. At least she knows that Ben wouldn't think they were dating.

After a couple of hours fooling around and...more than fooling around, Sloane was straightening her top and zipping up her cut off jeans. What she would have normally done would have been hightailing out of the house but she still wanted Eden without her twin around. She had to at least keep up appearances since they were family. She couldn't just leave and have Ben pissed with her but come back with Eden or something like that.

She was starting to worry that she was lying and hiding things from people than she usually did. Which was a huge thing since she doesn't exactly like to lie. She might spin things to her advantage or just not tell anyone anything specific but she never made it a habit. So she did what she thought was as characteristic of her as possible.

"No strings attached?" she said simply to the boy she had just gone down on.
