If I Could Be King

Chapter 5

Lisa and Paul arrived back at their flat and Paul took hold of Lisa’s hand and pulled her into the kitchen with himself.

"What?" asked Lisa.

"Nothing," replied Paul, "I just wanna kiss you ‘cause I think you need cheering up because of that horrible bitch," Lisa smiled and let Paul kiss her. Then there was a knock at the door.

"I’ll get it babe, you go rest in the lounge or something," said Paul kissing Lisa again and then walking out to answer the door. Lisa made her way into Paul’s living room and sat down on the sofa. A few minutes later Paul walked in followed by Tim.

"Hi Lisa, you OK?" asked Tim.

"Yeah I’m fine thanks," replied Lisa smiling at Paul.

"Good, right I’ve got a date for you to record your first single in the studio and it’s in a week, so you’ve got a week off and then on Monday next week I want you in my office bright and early, but I’ll phone you Sunday to tell you more," said Tim.

"K cool," replied Lisa.

"Anyway I’ll be off, actually Lisa could you do something for me?" asked Tim.

"What?" replied Lisa.

"Well could you try and cheer up Ben for me, he’s been in a right old mood all day and he needs cheering up," said Tim.

"Yeah sure," replied Lisa.

"Why can’t I help?" butted in Paul.

"Paul I think Ben wouldn’t really wanna be cheered up by you right now, as your sort of in his women problem," replied Tim.

"God, I told him not to shave his legs....argh... what a twat," joked Paul.

"Paul! He means the Ruth thing you muppet," said Lisa hugging Paul.

"Yeah I do, anyway see you soon then, bye," said Tim walking out.

"How should I cheer Ben up then?" asked Lisa.

"Take him out for a drink or something, you could go now as I gotta clean up this place," replied Paul.

"OK then, see you later babe," said Lisa kissing Paul and walking out too.

Lisa went to Ben’s flat and knocked on the door.

"Hi," said Ben opening the door. Lisa smiled.

"Hi, you all right?" asked Lisa.

"Yeah I guess," replied Ben.

"Cool, do you wanna go out for a drink or something now then?" asked Lisa.

"Yeah sure, why not?" asked Ben grabbing his coat and locking his front door. Lisa and Ben arrived at the same cafe that Lisa and Paul were at before.

"So, what’s the thing with Paul then?" asked Ben. Lisa grinned cheekily.

"Well, we’re sort of together now, he’s lovely and a great kisser," replied Lisa.

"Yeah, but I’m a way better kisser I can tell you that," said Ben smiling. Lisa giggled.

"Yeah, whatever," she replied.

"I am! Anyway I heard your recording on Monday, guess what, I’m gonna be there with you," said Ben.

"Cool, so you’ll be able to point out my mistakes then," replied Lisa.

"Mistakes? You won’t make mistakes, you can’t in music.....well unless your crap and stuff, but your way too good to make mistakes," said Ben.

"Awwww...thank you," replied Lisa, "Your really sweet. Awwww bless ya," Ben laughed.

"Thanks, looks like I’m not the only sweet one here though," said Ben smiling at Lisa. Lisa looked around to check who was sitting around them.

"Ben, can I ask you something please about Ruth?" asked Lisa. Ben’s smile faded away.

"Yeah, suppose you can," he replied.

"K, well don’t you think she uses you a bit?" asked Lisa, "I mean today she was just round to use your phone, to me that sounds a bit bad,"

"Yeah I know, she uses my phone all the time, we’re not exactly a strong couple to be honest," replied Ben.

"Why you with her then?" asked Lisa.

"I don’t really know, well if I do dump her, I think she’ll go do a kiss and tell on me or something bad like that," replied Ben.

"Oh yeah, them, suppose I better be careful when it comes to them," said Lisa.

"Yeah you better," replied Ben.

"I see your point then, so your just waiting for her to dump you then?" asked Lisa.

"Yeah pretty much," replied Ben, "Anyway enough about Ruth, so do you think you and Paul will last long then?"

"Hopefully, I don’t know really, he’s nice, but I dunno if I’ll end up getting bored with him," replied Lisa, "But I don’t think I’ll get bored of him easily," Lisa giggled.

"Whatever, look I gotta go now, thanks for bringing me here, see you tomorrow maybe," said Ben.

"Yeah, bye," replied Lisa and Ben walked out of the cafe. Lisa then stood up and walked out of the cafe, she looked around and saw Ruth with another man! Ruth looked at Lisa and then smiled horribly. Lisa carried on walking back to hers and Paul’s flat.

Paul had laid out a load of roses all over the flat for Lisa, he really felt like being romantic. Lisa let herself in at looked at the few roses that were in the hall.

"Awwww pauly baby," she said and then walking up to Paul and kissing him.

"Like it?" asked Paul, "I felt like doing something special."

"Love it, thanks babe, wow, I’ve only been with you for a day and your already really sweet and romantic to me," replied Lisa. Paul smiled and kissed Lisa again.

"Good time with Ben then?" asked Paul.

"Yeah, brilliant time, we just chatted, he’s happier now I think," replied Lisa.

"Good," said Paul kissing Lisa again and again.

"Well, it’s quite late, so I’m gonna go to bed now, night night," said Lisa kissing Paul for a last time and then walking to her room. Paul stood out in the hall for a while thinking if he was taking things too fast. He also couldn’t help himself from thinking what Lisa sort of meant by brilliant time with Ben, did Lisa like Ben a lot too?
