Elena's POV
I don't know how he convinced me to stay longer maybe it's my fault because I want to get to know him better and open up to me about whatever is bothering him,we were in my room packing my clothes "pack up the chess board and books and put them in the little suitcase" I said and he did it straight away "you want me to stay longer that badly?" I asked him "yes I don't know I just want you to stay a little longer and of course I will teach you chess so that you can play much better in Europe, maybe Borgov doesn't play anymore but last year the world champion is a German called Wagner after Beth's victory when Borgov played for the title again Wagner won it" he said "good because I needed a teacher to teach me some things" I said, after about an hour we packed up all my stuff and went down to the reception, paid the hotel bill and went to his car "do you drive?" He asked me "yes but I haven't driven in years" I said "then you drive" he said "no no no okay I'll stay at your house okay I'll stay up here okay I'll do whatever you want but I won't drive" I said "come on slow down just on the main road it'll be easy" he said and threw me his keys "well but it's the last thing you're asking me to do while I'm still staying" I said "okay, "I like your hair" I said "I don't like your hair" he said and got into the car,I got in the driver's seat and started the car, you can do it Elena you can do it, it's easy, like Logan taught you, like your best friend taught you "if there's a problem I can help" he said "no it's ok I just need to remember a little" I said and I saw him smile I put the parking brake down and started driving ok it's not much different from the car I drove with Logan but I'm still scared, we got out on the main road and I was doing really, really well, "You're doing fine, I haven't been in the passenger seat in years" he said and I didn't even turn to look at him I couldn't take my eyes off the road I was afraid of crashing and not having a kid jump out into the road and going at the speed the signs said and of course not having a car jump out "can you look at me you know" he said "no I can't because I'm driving and when I'm driving I don't take my eyes off the road" he said "no I can't because I'm driving and when I'm driving I don't take my eyes off the road" he said "no I can't because I'm driving and when I'm driving I don't take my eyes off the road my eyes off the road because anything can happen" I said and he agreed "just down here it stops a little further so I can get it" he said and I stopped when I stopped my heart started working again Benny got out of the car to get into the driver's seat and I got into the passenger seat "can you relax it's nothing that bad" he said as he settled into his seat, I took his hand and put it over my heart "you can feel it beating! It's from my anxiety" I said and he laughed.

Benny's POV
She's a good driver but she's scared and nervous I can understand that, when she took my hand and put it in her heart I could feel her heartbeat one by one it was a beautiful feeling I just wanted to go home and lay on top of her and listen to her heartbeat, I need to stop thinking like that. And I started the car and we went to my house, we got in and she sat straight down in my chair "I love this chair" she said and then she looked at the boxes I had in the middle
"so you really said you were moving" she said "yeah I've decided I want a bigger house, this one won't hold all my bowls and my chess books" I said and she rang the phone "please, ahhh Arthur yes if you want to come and help and I'll be waiting for you" "who was that?" Helena asked wonderingly " my best friend Arthur will be here shortly with a friend of ours Clio you'll love her" I said and she looked a little jealous, is she really jealous or do I want her to be jealous?
"I see, where do we start to pick up things to put in the boxes, I've done a lot of moving around whenever I know how to help" she said and got up from the chair and came in front of me she is much shorter than I thought "from the books on those shelves" I said and she went and took some down and put them in the boxes next to it and I saw her grab a picture in her hands " nice picture is that you?" And she showed me the picture I had with my sister and I went over and took it from her hands "yes it's me" I said "and the little girl you're holding?" She asked me "she's my sister" I said and I was trying to hide how I felt "she's beautiful I guess how beautiful she must be now" she said "yes she must be very beautiful" I said spontaneously and she looked at me curiously "she's your sister don't you know what she looks like?" She asked me "no I don't know, I haven't seen her since she was 6 close to 13 years so I don't know what she looks like now and I'll never know" I said and she came over to me "do you want to tell me about it?" She asked me and when I went to start the bell rang (fucking Arthur) and I went and opened the door "how did the tournament go I want to know everything and of course I want to see the cup that... oh hello" said Arthur after he saw Elena "Arthur mercy can you first see if there's a crowd and then start saying what you always say, hello sweetie you look beautiful" said Cleo as she approached Elena "nice to meet you Elena Michaelson" said Elena "the usual? The girl phenomenon of the last couple of years?" Said Arthur "yeah that one" said Elena and blushed a little "well you idiot why didn't you tell me?" She asked me "what can I tell you I caught it?!" I replied and grabbed the photo and hid it in the desk drawer.

Elena's POV
Cleo is a very beautiful woman I wonder if something has happened between her and Benny "So you are into chess too" asked Cleo "yes for the last 10 years I have been playing but in the last two or three I have started to appear in magazines and tournaments" I said "So how did the tournament go I know you won it every time" I heard Arthur say "yes look there is a cup but it's not mine, "It's Helena's" said Benny and Arthur looked at me "Wow Benny Watts, I think you're losing your touch, the second one to beat you, the undefeated Benny Watts and yet he was defeated" said Arthur and I laughed "oh shut up" said Benny "well you did him right he needs these now and then to learn not to be so snooty and he thinks he can beat everyone" said Cleo and I laughed "hey not so snooty self centered he can" said Benny and he brought beers from the fridge, it was 6 o'clock:30 and we started packing up Benny's stuff into boxes Clio and I were in charge of packing up the stuff from the kitchen and Benny and Arthur were in charge of packing up the stuff from his bedroom "so you're the new girl that Benny is going to teach chess" Clio said "he doesn't do it often just the Beth has been teaching him for as many years as he's been playing and now you he must have seen something different about you" "I don't know what he saw in me all I can say is that he begged me to stay and then told me about chess" I replied and she looked at me strangely and laughed "Benny Watts put chess second! Interesting" she said "these three or four days we've been close and you're opening up to me somehow he might have wanted me to stay for that so he could talk to someone but if he wanted to talk wouldn't he talk to you or Arthur?" I asked her "after Beth's death Benny didn't open up as much as he used to talk,he used to tell us some stories about him about his family how he started playing chess but then he stopped he didn't want to remember them something had happened that made him not want to talk about them too much" she replied "Beth was important to him?" I asked "she was but not as important as you can be" he replied "Benny Watts doesn't love anyone but himself he has never really fallen in love and doesn't open up as much as we open up every day, and sometimes he tries to get away so he doesn't get involved with whatever he was involved with in Miami that's the little he told us" " what was he involved with do you know? I'm sorry to bother you with questions I just want to know him better" I said "don't apologize I understand, he was involved with drugs unfortunately coke, hashish,pills and but he didn't do much use of them but he did for a while and of course alcohol" she said "these are criminal offences if he was caught he could go to jail for at least 3 to 5 years if the judge was even a little bit nice he could get 2.5 years" I replied "you're being very legalistic with us kid, do you have anything to do with this legal stuff?" What do you tell her now "no no a friend is a lawyer and I know them" I said "I understand" she said "I have a lawyer friend and he has a case about cheating a gentleman who owned a factory of course and 20 years have passed but now he is running it" "the crime is barred after 20 years the case can be reopened only if there is new evidence about the case" I said spontaneously and looked at her "you are a lawyer how perfect!" She said "please don't tell anyone" I said "don't tell what?" Said Benny as he walked out of the room with the boxes in his hands "you don't know girl stuff" said Arthur "yeah girl stuff Watts you don't care about that" said Clio thank you I was yelling from inside just thank you.

Benny's POV
Helena and Cleo became good friends they talked about a lot while we were inside but what could it be that he told her not to tell anyone ? I wonder if it has anything to do with me. We had packed up enough stuff and put the boxes away to have open space for us "Benny weren't you supposed to go look for new furniture tomorrow ?" Clio asked me "yes yes tomorrow" I said "good so whenever you go with Elena, from the looks of her dressing she has very good taste she will help you a lot" said Clio "yes indeed I can help my whole house the furniture is selected one and one I want it to go according to my personality" said Elena and smiled, that smile of hers is beautiful "for Benny you will easily find black furniture black that's his personality black, black humor black dressing black everything" said Arthur and they all laughed "Arthur I think it's time to go" said Cleo "yes yes yes well put, Elena it was very nice to meet you in person, Benny see you tomorrow mate" said Arthur "it was really nice to meet you sweetheart you're great and of course we won't get lost while you're here we'll come back whenever we have a lot to talk about" said Clio and they said goodbye and left
"I feel exhausted for some reason" Elena said and sat down in my armchair "if you want to go in and sleep" I said "I said something about that!" She said " ahhh yes your terms" I said and we laughed and I went inside and got the mattress to inflate it for her to sleep on, while I was inflating the mattress she went inside my room to change clothes and came out in a pair of sticky black shorts and an oversize plain pink blouse and sat back in my chair "this chair is mine" I said "now it's been taken over by me" she said and laughed. She was so cute when I inflated the mattress I brought sheets and my duvet for her to sleep on "sure you are comfortable like this?" I asked her "yeah dude I'm fine" she said and lay down " good night Benny" she said "good night princess" I said and went to my room and lay down I got the blouse she wore the first time she slept here it has her perfume on it, I don't know but I feel first time in love who me! Benny Watts loves no one but himself and yet I feel in love with her.
