Chapter Five: The Loving Family
Rey and Ben were in the back of an old pick up truck at the drive in. The theatre was playing Gremlins when Rey came back with some snacks.
"Popcorn?" She asked as she climbed in the back of the truck. He smiled and she sat next to him.
"I don't know much about you" Ben said.
"I... I don't know... not much about me" she said as she kicked off her shoes.
"Come on.. tell me" Ben urged her.
"My parents died young, my grandpa adopted me then died I'm in foster care. I work at a diner. I hate trump and I can knit" she said "there"
Ben kissed her softly when she turned to look back at the big screen.
"I don't care about all that stuff" he said "I care about you and what you like and what you wanna do and how you wanna go forward" Ben told her.
"Ben." She said taking a deep breath "if I ask you something... would you do it ?"
"Anything Rey" he said "Do you need money? Or a place to stay-?" He asked "Rey you know that I've loved you for so long so say it and I'll do it"
"I want to be with you" she said "I want to be with you and ... and I want just you... will ... will you be my boyfriend?" She asked looking down at her feet.
"What! Of course! I had been working up the courage to ask you for years!" Ben said and he kissed her.
"You don't care that I'm in a foster home?" She asked leaning into him.
"No! It means that I don't have to share you with anyone" he smiled.

Rey was slipping her jeans back on, Ben was asleep in his bed as she looked at him sleep.
Rey kissed his cheek "I'll see you" she then left his house.
Ben woke up about 3 hours later around 9 am. He got out of bed and stumbled downstairs to the kitchen. His mom was cooking bacon and eggs.
"Hey ma!" Ben said.
"Late night Benjamin" Han said over his cup of coffee.
"Some friends and I went to the drive in-."
"Hux and Gwen came by looking for you" Leia said.
"Oh... different friends" Ben said as he took a piece of toast and put it on his plate.
"A girlfriend ?" Han asked.
"Yeah" ben smiled "we ... we decided to be official and all" ben told his parents.
"Ben!" Leia smiled "you should invite her to thanksgiving !" Leia said "I want to meet her!"
"Woah, um... I don't know if she's free" he said scratching his head.
"Ask her! Oh we can make some pie and some"
"Mom I'll ask but no promises she may be working or doing something" he said and started walking to the living room.

"Hey babe" ben said on the phone as he talked to her.
"Hey" She said as she was fixing her shoe.
"What are you doing for thanksgiving?" He asked.
"Working... I get paid more for working on a holiday" she said "why what's up?"
"Nothing my mom wanted to invite you to thanksgiving dinner" he said.
"Oh" Rey responded "tell her I'd love to go but I'm working... I might be able to drop by at the end of the night. We close at 7 and I'll be out by 8" she said.
"Around 8:30 we usually do pie... you wanna see if you can come by for pie?" Ben asked "my mom and dad, me , Uncle Luke, Aunt Mara, Uncle Chewie, um... some cousins. My grandpa Anakin and grandma Padmae. Grandpa Bail... my dad's old race team..." he said.
"I'd love to if I can... I'll let you know tomorrow" she said as she walked into work.
"Okay, love you have a good day" he said .
"You too" she said and put her Cell away.

Rey closed the doors and began to wipe down tables, hoping Snap would let her out early.
She was sweeping when the door opened, and in came Ben with a smile on his face.
"We're closed" she said as she threw the dirty away.
"I was gonna give you a ride home... since it's dark out" he told her.
"Finn's picking me up, his shit across the street just ended. We're walking home together" she said.
"I can give him a ride too" ben said as he sat down near her.
"As much as we'd appreciate that, if our foster dad sees us in a car he's gonna wonder who and then he'll find out that we're dating and he won't let us see each other" Rey told him. "Thank you though"
"Well... I'll see you later sweetie" he stood up and kissed her cheek "sweet dreams text me when you get home so I know your safe"
"Okay" she smiled and kissed his cheek back.
Ben walked out and waved as he walked to his car.
He cares about.
