London, England Dec 2008 Oldman House

Christmas is coming up in the few weeks. Stephen and Mere want to visit their 8 other kids and their grandkids. Since most of them live in New Zealand and Ireland, both of them decide to sent small presents through mail. As for Quinn, she doesn;t care for much of Christmas. Its probably because since she can remember, Christmas became more quiet whenever her older sibilings moved out for college or other reasons. Anyway, it is Saturday morning and Quinn is laying on her bed, reading some books. She quickly sat up when someone knock on her bedroom door.

"Can I come in?" Mere ask through the door.

"Oh course ma." Quinn replies.

"Quinn...your father and I are planning to have a Christmas party and dinner on Christmas day."

"With some of your friends right?"

"Of course dear."

"Do I have to join? Can I go out while you and dad hang out with friends?"

"Why?"

"Because I don't know your friends."

"Fine."

"Ma...I have a question."

"What is it?"

"Can I go out?"

"Right now?"

"Please?"

"Yea, but you better be home by dinner, Quinn."

"Yea ma."

As soon as Mere exit the bedroom, Quinn gets off the bed and lock her bedroom door. She then heads to the closet and began changing. She is now wearing purple jeans, orange spagetti strap shirt, and orange socks. She brush her hair a few times before putting on her black hoodie sweater, purple gloves, purple scarf, and black tennis shoes. Quinn grabs her messenger bag and exit her bedroom. She says her goodbyes to her parents before exiting the house.

As for Ben, he is currently studying for his finals for his classes. He haven't heard anything from Dylan or Jenny. He simply assumes that they are busy with their own things. He also wonder how is Quinn doing at the moment. Ben still feel bad about scaring her off with his kisses and touches. He let out a sigh before standing from his desk and exit his bedroom.

"I really need to find her and to say to her I am sorry." he mutter to himself as he grab some juice in the fridge. "Man..."

Ben quickly decide to take a break from his studies and head out for a bit. He finish drinking his juice and heads to the bathroom for a quick shower. When he's finish, he dries himself before heading to his bedroom and puts on some clothes. He is now wearing black jeans, short sleeve red shirt, black socks, and black boots. Ben fixes his hair a bit before putting on his gloves and jacket. He grab his wallet, cell phone, and keys before exiting his apartment. As he began walking through the streets, he look up to the sky.

"Look like it might rain today." Ben thought to himself.

Ben decide to the local bookstore and hang out there for a moment. As for Quinn, she is currently hanging out in the local coffee shop in the Soho area. She is drinking her black coffee as she read one of her books. She wonder how her brothers and sisters are doing at the moment. She knows that they will be busy in Christmas with their families and their sometimes wish she have a boyfriend or a girlfriend of her own. Then again, she knows that her parents will approve her choice her partner. She also worry if she does date, this person would want to havesex with her. She took a sip from her coffee before looking through the window.

"I really would like to date, but..." she thought to herself.

"Umm...excuse me..." a female says to Quinn.

Quinn jump a bit before looking at the person with the friendly voice. This young lady looks like she is in her mid 20s. She has over the shoulder dark chocolate straight brown hair, light brown eyes, and light fair skin. She is wearing blue jeans, green swearter, black gloves, and black 3 inches boots.

"How...can I help you?" Quinn ask.

"Can I sit with you?" she ask back. "My name is Beatrice Manning by the way."

"Sure and my name is Quinn Oldman."

"I don't meet a lot girls with your name, Quinn."

"Yea...my parents wanna give their youngest with a Q."

"Oh ok. You're not from you, aren't you?"

"I was born in New Zealand, but raised in Belfast, Dublin, and Glasgow."

"Got it. Your accent sound Irish with little bit Scottish in it."

"What about you, Beatrice?"

"Well...I was born in Manchester, but raised in Liverpool."

"Oh ok."

"Can I ask you a personal question?"

"Go ahead."

"You don't have to answer the question...but do you like girls?"

"Of course I do like girls, but I also like boys too."

"A bi then. well...I know its a rush, but wanna go out with me."

"A date with you?"

"Yea. Is next Saturday good for you?"

"Yes Beatrice."

"Please call me Bea, Q."

Quinn simply nod. As they talk to one another, they exchange their cell phone numbers. They weren't aware that that they are being watch by Ben. Ben have arrive in SOHO over 10 minutes, but saw Quinn talking to Beatrice. He also have cross paths with Beatrice few times before. They are somewhat good terms with one another, but he knew what type of person she is. She tends to go after younger girls and guys and after after a few dates, she end having sex with them. Ben doesn't want Quinn to go through that situation. So, he went inside the coffee shop and approach them.

"Hey Beatrice. Hi Quinn." Ben says to them.

"Hi." Quinn replies quietly.

"Hey Bennit. Long time now see." Beatrice says to him.

"Same here." he replies before looking Quinn. "Quinn, I just to tell you I am sorry for what happened few weeks ago."

"Its alright, Ben. I am not mad." Quinn answers.

"You two know each already?" Beatrice ask.

"Yea. We met up with a few times." Ben says to her.

"Well...I have to go now. Nice to meet you Bea." Quinn says to her.

"Same here." Beatrice replies with a smile.

"Quinn can I ask you something? Outside?" Ben ask.

"Yea." Quinn replies.

"Excuse us." Ben says to Beatrice before leaving the coffee shop.

As soon as they're front of the Coffee shop, Ben began talking to her.

"Can I have your number? I can give you my number..." Ben says to her.

"Of course, Ben." Quinn replies.

"Another thing...be careful around Beatrice."

"How come? She seem nice."

"She is nice...but just be careful, Quinn."

Quinn nod and smiles a little as she trade numbers with Ben. She gave him a quick hug and went to a different direction. Ben then return to the coffee shop and sat across from Beatrice.

"Are you dating her or something?" Beatrice ask.

"No...we are just friends." Ben answers.

"Thats good. We are going to have a date together next Saturday."

"What? She is only around 16 years old, Bea. Besides, I am pretty sure that she's a virgin."

"A virgin? I never took a virginity before."

"Don't sleep with her. She's too nice and a really sweet girl."

"You fancied her then?"

"...Bea..."

"I can tell by your eyes. You take a liking in her."

"I do like her, but I am not force myself towards her. Afterall, I do respect her."

"Fine then...I will go easy on her...for now. Anyway, I gotta go now. I need to meet up with someone."

"Later."

Beatrice pay for her drink before exiting the coffee shop. Ben order his coffee before returning to his seat. As he took a sip from his coffee, he began thinking about Quinn. Even though he talk to her a few times, he became very fond of her and slowly develop feelings for her. He want to date her, but if he thinks thatQuinn doesn't want to sleep with someone who is not a virgin.

"Man..." he mutter to himself.

As for Quinn, she spent her free time in Regent Street and Oxford Circus. By the time she arrive in the Leicester Square, she decide to have a quick lunch and see a movie. She need to clear her head from both Ben and Beatrice.

"I really do like Bea, but Ben says to be careful whenever I'm with her." Qunn mutter to herself.

She let out a sigh before heading to local food joint. When she finish eating her lunch, she heads to the cinema. As Tuesday morning came around, Quinn haven't seen Angie and her friends for a while now. She is little worried because she scare that they might pull a horrible prank on her. Quinn simply shrug and heads to her French class. As lunch came around, she is eating he rlunch when her cell phone began to vibrate. As she flip it open, it is a text from Beatrice.

HI QUINN I AM SORRY TO BOTHERING YOU DURING SCHOOL, BUT DO YOU WANT TO MEET UP IN LEICESTER SQUARE AROUND 6PM. PLEASE TEXT ME ASAP BEA.

Quinn look at the text for a moment before sending a reply to the text.

QUINN.

Once she sent the text, she quickly finish eating her lunch and heads to the bathroom. After doing her business, she wash her hands and exit the bathroom. Quinn soon bump into Angela.

"I am sorry, Angela." Quinn says to her before heading to the different direction.

"Did you sleep with your boyfriend?" Angela ask.

"What boyfriend?"

"You know who."

"Ben is not my boyfriend. Besides, he probably have a girlfriend or something."

"Knowing you...you will get jealous if he does have one."

Quinn simply ignore her and heads to her classroom. When school is over, she quickly walk home because its start to rain. As soon as she arrive home, she sees Jenna sitting in the living room. She took off her boots and jacket and put them away. Her dad, Stephen, soon greet her.

"Welcome home Quinn." Stephen says to her. "As you see, Jenna is back because she is finish with her studies until next year. Anyway, please take a shower so you can do your studies."

"Ok dad." Quinn answers before heading upstairs.

She soon heads to the bathroom and take a quick shower. When she's finish, she dries herself before heading to her bedroom. Quinn puts on her long sleeve black shirt and boxer shorts. She dries her hair a bit before exiting her bedroom and heads downstairs to the living room. As she sat next to Jenna on the couch, Jenna spoke up.

"How school Quinn?" Jenna ask.

"Good so far." Quinn replies.

"Good. Anyway, lets start with your math homework."

"Ok."

Jenna and Quinn spent the next 2 hours doing homework. As soon as Jenna left the house, Quinn puts away her stuff in her backpack before laying on the couch to watch some tv. She want to tell her parents about the date this Saturday, but she did not tell them yet about her bisexuality though.

"Quinn...put away your school stuff. Dinner is almost ready." Mere says from the kitchen.

"Yes ma." Quinn answers back.

Quinn gets off the couch, gather her stuff and head back to her bedroom. As she place her stuff on the desk, her cell phone began to vibrate. She thought its a text from from Beatrice, but she is wrong. Its a text from Ben.

HI QUINN I WAS WONDERING IF YOU WANT TO HANG OUT WITH ME TOMORROW AFTER SCHOOL. I UNDERSTAND IF YOU SAYS NO. PLEASE REPLY BACK SOON.

Quinn soon sent the text to Ben and wait. A few minutes before she recieve a text from Ben.

BEN.

Quinn smile grew wider when she read the text. She place her cell phone on the desk before heading back downstairs. The next day, as soon as the last bell rang, Quinn garher her stuff and left school. As she heads to the coffee house, she suddenly wonders why Ben want to meet her at the coffee house. She assumes that he perhaps jealous that she has a date with Beatrice.

"Maybe he likes her or something." Quinn thought to herself.

By the time she arrive at the coffee shop, she could not see Ben. So, Quinn went inside and brought some hot chocolate for herself. A few minutes has pass before she saw Ben enterng the coffee shop. He smiles when he saw her before approaching her.

"Did I made you wait long?" Ben ask as he sat across from her.

"No you didn't." Quinn replies. "So...why you want to meet me here?"

"Well...do you want to have a date with me?"

"A date? With you?"

"Of course. This upcoming Sunday...if that is ok with you."

"Is it because my date with Bea? Do you like her or something?"

"Me and Beatrice? I don't like her at all. She's only a friend. Anyway, is it yes or a no?"

"Sure. What time?"

"Noon."

"Ok."

They talk for a bit longer before Quinn excuse herself and left the coffee shop. Ben watch her go before he too left the coffee shop and head to work. As she walk to her home, she thought about her two dates with Beatrice and Ben. She rarely have dates because she and her family move to different cities. Besides, her parents doesn't want her date yet until she turns 18. So, she will not tell them about these upcoming dates. Quinn smiles a little as she quickly heads home.

It is Saturday morning and Ben is currently cleaning his apartment. In the last few days, he and Quinn has exchange texts to one another. He told her to meet her in the Leicester Square around noon. Ben hopes the date went smoothly but at the same time, he worry that Jenna might find them together. Anyway, he's is washing the dishes in the kitchen when he heard a knock on the door. He dries his hands before answering the front door. As soon as he open the front door, pair of arms quickly wrap around his neck. Ben quickly regonize the brownish ginger hair and smell of mint

"Ricky...why you're here?" Ben ask as he return the hug.

"Because I just want to visit you." Ricky answers as he let go of him and went inside.

He's wearing short sleeve bright green shirt, black jeans, black shoes, black hoodie jacket, and fingerless gloves. He's the member of THE COMEDY STORE PLAYERS and ROYAL SHAKESPEARE COMPANY.

"I don't believe you. You just wanna fuck me." Ben replies as he shut the front door.

"I don't want to fuck you. Besides...you're stinky." Ricky answers.

"Whatever. Why you're here?"

"Natalie and Dylan both told me that you finally asked out a 16 year old Kiwi girl."

"...Those little..."

"Can I meet her? Dylan told me that she is very adorable."

"Don't go near her. You tend to get horny too fast."

"Oi...I just wanna see her."

"Well...we could..."

"How?"

"She is having a date with Beatrice Manning tonight."

"With her? Bloody hell...why her? Did you tell her about Bea?"

"No...I just told her to be careful around her."

"Great. Do you know where the date gonna be held have?"

As for Quinn, she is currently practicing her music in her bedroom. Her parents are out to hang out with mates. Mere made a quick lunch for her youngest before leaving with Stephen. A hour has pass before Quinn heads downstairs to the kitchen. As she began to eat her lunch, she began to think about Beatrice. She finds her fairly attractive, but at the same time, nevous. She never being in date with a older woman or man. She need to tell her parents why she is going out tonight.

"They don't need to know. Afterall, they're too busy to talk to me anyway." Quinn mutter to herself.

As soon as she finish eating, she heads to the living room and watch some tv. By 3pm, Stephen and Mere came home and found their youngest in the living room. She's sleeping on the couch with the tv on.

"Quinn. Wake up. We are here." Stephen says to her.

"Sorry." Quinn replies with a yawn. "Did you guys have fun?"

"Sure we did." Mere answers.

"Good. Anyway, I'll be heading out for a bit." Quinn says to them as she stood and heads upstairs.

"Where to?" Stephen ask.

"Leicester Square. I am meeting a friend there. I'll be home by 11pm." Quinn answers.

"Well, ok then. Just be careful." Mere says to her.

"Ok." Quinn answers before heading to the bathroom.

She took a quick shower, dries herself, and quickly heads to her bedroom. She puts on a pale pink polo shirt, knee length pink skirt, nlack hoodie jacket, black socks, and black flats. Quinn fixs her hair into a messy bun. She quickly grabs her shoulder bag and quickly exit her bedroom. She says her goodbyes to her parents as she exit the house. By the time she arrive at Leicester Square, Quinn quickly find Beatrice near the local cafe. Beatrice is wearing non sleeve grey shirt, black jeans, black jacket, and old tennis shoes. Like Quinn's hair, Beatrice's hair is also kept as a messy bun. Older woman smiles a little when she saw the kiwi girl.

"Hi Bea. Did I made you wait long?" Quinn ask as she approaches Beatrice.

"Only a few minutes, Quinn." Beatrice replies before kissing her on the cheek. "Did you ate dinner yet?"

"Not really."

"Ok then. Lets go and eat then."

Quinn simply nod before she and Beatrice heads to the local resturant for dinner. After dinner, they went to the cinema and watch a movie. The movie last litte over 2 hours and they soon heads to the local cafe for hot chocolate and coffee. As soon as they sat down at the empty table near the window, they began talking to one another. They weren't aware that across the coffee house, Ben and Ricky is sitting at the table, drinking their coffee.

"Dylan and Natalie are right. She look really adorable." Ricky says to Ben. "So, you're telling me that Quinn most likely a virgin."

"Most likely. Besides, if Quinn is a virgin...I need to make sure that Beatrice won't have sex with her." Ben answers back.

"It might hard, but I can help you out. Let me, Natalie, and Dylan help out, Benny."

"I can trust Natalie and Dylan but not you."

"Why?"

"There might be a chance that you try to dry hump her or something."

"Hey. Anyway, since when you became overprotecting of her? You two are not even a couple man."

"I am not...I...just...want to keep an eye on her. Afterall, she isn't from here."

"Same goes with you, you git."

"...Piss off..."

"Can't. I need to place to stay for a night."

"Seriously?"

"Yep."

"Fine."

Quinn and Beatrice talk for over 30 minutes. When she looks at her cell phone, its says 1030pm. She clears her throat before looking at her date.

"I have to go home now, Bea. Sorry." Quinn says to her as she stood up.

"You have to go now?" Beatrice ask as she stood up.

"Yea. I told my parents that I need to be home by 11pm."

"Alright then. Can I take you home? I don't want anyone bothering you."

"Of course."

Soon enough, they exit the coffee house and walk a few blocks before going into Beatrice's car. As soon as they drove away, Ben and Ricky also exit the coffee house and to Ben's flat. Once they're arrive, Ricky sat on the couch as Ben sat across of him.

"So...are you ready?" Ricky ask.

"Not really." Ben replies. "Man...I don't want to do for the date tomorrow?"

"Seriously? Then again, you rarely go on dates because of your last ex."

"Yea, but Quinn is nothing like her."

"Are you really sure? You have to be careful with the quiet ones."

"Whatever. Anyway I am heading to bed."

"Can I sleep next to you, Benny?"

"As long you don't get a boner in the morning."

"Ok."

Both of of them heads to his bedroom and soon dozed off to sleep. As for Beatrice and Quinn, after arriving in front of the house, Quinn unbuckle her belt and gave Beatrice a hug.

"Thank you for the date, Bea." Quinn says to her.

"Welcome, Quinn." Beatrice replies back.

Before Quinn can able to go out of the car, Beatrice pull her towards her and gave her kiss on the lips. Younger girl's eyes widen a bit before closing them and return the kiss. The kiss last for almost a minute before they broke the kiss away. Quinn start to blush as Beatrice smiles at her.

"Good night, little one." Beatrice says to her.

"Yea...good night." Quinn replies as she got out the car.

As soon she close the passenger door, Beatrice drove away. As Quinn got into the house, she sees her dad sitting on the couch, reading his book. He is in his pjs.

"I am home now. dad." Quinn says to him.

"Did you had fun?" Stephen ask as puts his book on the table.

"Yea...we have dinner together, watch a movie, and hang out at the coffee place."

"Sound like a date."

"Its not. Anyway, good night, dad."

"Night Quinn."

Quinn quickly heads upstairs and went to her bedroom. She then change into her pjs, and climb into her bed. She touch her lips before dozing off to sleep. The next morning, Ben woke up around 9am. He let out a yawn and tries to strech. His hand hit on top of Ricky's head. Ricky groans a bit before turning around and look at Ben.

"That is how you wake up your guest." Ricky ask

"You kinda invited yourself into my flat." Ben answers. "Bloody hell man."

"Sorry man, but can you help me?"

"No you wanker."

Ben gets off off the bed and heads to the bathroom. As for Ricky, he quickly does 'fix' himself before he too gets off the bed and heads to the kitchen. Twenty minutes has pass and both men are eating breakfast at the table. Ben tries his best to not get too close of him.

"Are you meet her at SOHO area right?" Ricky ask.

"Of course. I thought we might have a lunch and go to the local bookstores or something." Ben replies.

"Take her to the movie."

"Maybe. Anyway, what are your plans, Ricky?"

"I need to head back to my flat for a quick shower and head to ROYAL SHAKESPEARE COMPANY. We're doing Cornilaus."

"Thats good. Give me the tickets whenever."

"Sure thing..."

Once Breakfast is over, Ricky says his goodbyes to Ben and exit the apartment. Ben cleans the dishes before heads to the bathroom for a quick shower. When he finish, he dries himself and heads to his bedroom to put some clothes. He is now wearing brown polo shirt, green hoodie jacket, black knee length pants, black socks, and black shoes. Ben fixes his hair a bit before heading to the living room and watch little bit of the teli. When the clock hits 11am, he turns off the teli and gather his items before exiting the flat. By the time he arrive at the coffee house, he look at his cell phone. It says 11:45am.

"Still got 15 minutes left before Quinn comes." Ben mutter to himself.

Ben went inside and sat at the empty table. It is little after 12pm when Quinn enter the coffee house. Quinn is wearing black and white strip skinny pants, grey tubetop, black and white strip hoodie jacket, pink socks, and old boots. Her hair is kept as a low bun. When she saw Ben, she smiles a little and walk up to him.

"Did I made you wait?" Quinn ask as she gave him a hug.

"No you didn't." Ben replies and return the hug. "Wanna get lunch right now?"

"Sure."

Both of them exit the coffee house and heads to the local food joint. When they finish eating their lunch, they went to a couple of bookstore. During the date, they talk about random topics. After they brought some books, Quinn spoke up.

"Ben...are you doing something on Christmas?" Quinn ask as they exit the bookstore.

"Well...I was planning to visit my family, but my parents decided to travel to Italy." Ben answers.

"Do you have any brothers or sisters?"

"Not really. I am the only kid. What about you, Quinn? What are your plans?"

"I think I mention to you before that I have 8 older sibilings."

"Bloody hell..."

"Since they have their own family and live different parts of the UK and New Zealand...my parents having a dinner party with their friends."

"Oh..."

"So...that is why I ask if I spent a night at your flat. Please?"

"But...thats sudden."

"If you says no...I will ask Bea if I could spent a night at her place."

"Beatrice's flat?"

"Of course."

"Well...you can..."

"Thank you so much, Ben."

As soon as Quinn gave him a hug, he is taken back. He smiles a little before return the hug.

"Oh Quinn...I have two other friends who want to meet you." Ben says to her.

"Do I met them before?"

"No. Their names are Natalie and Ricky. Don't worry, they're really nice."

"Thats good."

They spent an hour together before heading back to their homes. By the time Ben enter his flat, he began grinning like a chesire cat. He is glad that he letting her to stay at his place rather than at Beatrice's flat. He thought that Beatrice would try and have sex with her. He then remind himself to try not to sleep with her too. As for Quinn, by the time she arrive at her home, she told her parents that she will be spending a night at her 'female' friend's home.

Two weeks has past and its the night before Christmas. During those two weeks, Quinn has been spenting a lot of her time with Beatrice. All they did were making out. Beatrice is hoping to sleep with her kiwi girlfriend. It is also the dinner party at the Oldman House. Quinn is currently in her bedroom. School is out until the first week of January. Quinn made her parents happy by having one of the highest grades at her school. Anyway, she is packing her pjs and extras clothes in her backpack. She is wearing red and black strip spagtti cami shirt, red pants, purple hoodie jacket, red socks, and black flats. She jump a bit when her dad slowly enter her bedroom.

"What is it, dad?" Quinn ask.

"Are you going to call home when you arrive at your friend's home?" Stephen ask back.

"I will dad. Don't worry."

"Good and have fun ok?"

"I will."

As soon as Stephen left the bedroom, Quinn quickly gather her other items. She then grabs her umbrella and bag before exiting her bedroom. She says her goodbyes to her parents before exiting her house. By the time she arrive at Ben's flat, she knock on front door a few times and wait. A minute has pass before a brunette woman answering the front door. She is wearing short sleeve red shirt, shin length green skirt, and red socks. Her hair is kept as a messy ponytail.

"You must be Quinn. Its nice to meet you." Natalie says to her and let Quinn enter the flat. "My name is Natalie and I am Ben's mate."

"Its nice to meet you too." Quinn replies back as she place her bag in the closet.

Before they continue to talk, Quinn felt a pair of arms around her body. She turn around and see Ricky's grinning face. He is wearing short sleeve green shirt, knee length black pants, and red socks. His hair is messy as always.

"Hi Quinn. I'm Ricky. I am Ben's mate and ex." he says to her. "You smell nice."

"Don't even think about it, you git." Ben says to him as he exit his bedroom. "I don't want you scaring her off."

"Come on man, she does smell really nice." Ricky answers back.

"Sorry about him, Quinn." Ben says to her.

"Its ok." Quinn replies meekly.

Ben is wearing a grey shirt, green pants, and red socks. His hair is neatly comb.

"Ricky. Ben. We need to finish making dinner." Natalie says to them before looking at Quinn. "Wanna help us with the food."

"Of course." Quinn answers.

Four of them enter the kitchen and try their best to finish dinner. It took them over an hour to finish. They soon set up the table and after 10 minutes, they are eating their dinner. After dinner, all four of them head to Ben's bedroom and began talking. Even though Quinn is the youngest of the group, they treat her as one of their good friends. Natalie ask Quinn for a date with her and she agree to it. During their conversations, Ricky pull the kiwi girl onto his lap and kiss her cheek. It made her blush real bad.

"Ricky..." Ben says to him.

"What? I am just giving her a kiss on the cheek." Ricky answers back. "Besides, she is ok with it. Right, Quinn?"

"Yea." Quinn replies with a smile.

They talk more until 1130pm. Ricky and Natalie says their goodbyes to Ben and Quinn before putting on their jackets and exit the flat. As soon as they left, Ben and Quinn heads to the living room and sat on the couch.

"I am sorry about him." Ben says to him.

"Its okay. I thought he's pretty funny." Quinn says back to him. "Well...its getting late...I need to go to bed now."

"You can have my bed. I'll sleep on the couch,"

"You can sleep next to me, Ben."

"Are you sure?"

"I am sure. I know that you won't grope me or something."

"Alright then."

Quinn smiles a little before standing up and heads to the bathroom to get change. When she exit the bathroom, she wearing long sleeve purple shirt and yellow pjs bottoms. Her hair is kept as a braid ponytail. She gave a hug to Ben before climbing onto his bed. Ben smiles a little before he heads to his bathroom and change into his pjs. He's wearing a short sleeve yellow shirt and red boxer shorts. As enter his bedroom, Quinn is already sleeping..

"She look so much cuter when she's sleeping. Good thing that Beatrice and Ricky aren't here to see it." Ben thought to himself

He slowly climb next to her and soon dozed off to sleep. It is only 730am when Quinn woke up. She let out a yawn and try to move a bit. When she felt a arm around her waist, she quickly knew that it is Ben's arm. She let out a sigh before sitting up. As she tries to move his arm, Ben slowly to wake and look at Quinn.

"Mooorning." Ben says to her.

"Morning." Quinn replies. "Sorry to wake you up."

"Its okay. Anyway, want some breakfast?"

"Yes please."

"Alright then. Let me go to the bathroom first."

Quinn nod and watch him to get off the bed and heads to the bathroom to do his buisness. During this, she took out her cell and call her parents. She told them that she will be home after lunch. As soon as she finish talking on the phone and Ben exit the bathroom, she heads to the bathroom and does her business. After she's finish, she exit the bathroom and heads to the living room. As she sat on the couch, Ben began talking to her.

"Are you going to stay here longer?" Ben ask.

"Of course. Is that a problem?" Quinn ask back.

"No...oh...I have something for you."

"You do?"

Ben nod yes before heading back to his bedroom. A few minutes has pass before Ben exit his bedroom and gave his present to Quinn. She took from him and slowly open it. Her eyes widen a bit when she saw her present. Its a bracelet with purple hearts on it.

"Natalie help me out with this present." Ben says to her. "Well?"

"I really like it. Thank you so much." Quinn says to him.

"Welcome."

"But I feel bad now. I have nothing for you on Christmas."

"Its alright. You don't have too."

"But still..."
