Chapter 7:
Busted!
As Ben and Gwen ride
the elevator down to the lobby where Jason was currently doing work
in the lobby.
Hey Jason. Ben
says
Why hello to the
both of you. Jason replies
Grandpa said that
you needed to speak to us. Gwen says
Im going to tell
you that your room will be cleaned and changed by 7 pm tonight.
Jason tells
Ok, thanks. Ben
replies as Ben and Gwen go leave the lobby and finds Grandpas RV
in the parking lot.
Gwen opens the door and
marks The doors normally locked.
Do you think he left
it open for a reason? Ben asks
Remember what the
letter said, Ben. Gwen reminds Ben because Ben can be a little
forgetful.
Gwen opens the door the
RV side door and both of them look around but dont find Grandpa.
He isnt here.
Ben says
Try behind you. A
voice says coming from behind them.
A light suddenly turns
on and it was Grandpa indeed sitting in his chair, currently wearing
a white t-shirt and blue jeans.
Hey Grandpa. Ben
greets
We need to talk.
Grandpa says with some sternness in his voice.
Gwen and Ben choose to
sit on some chairs while Max gets up and gets a picture of the day
that Gwen and Ben were in the pool area.
Would either one of
you care to explain? Max asks with calmness in his voice.
Both Ben and Gwen
looked at each other with nervousness and then the both of them turn
their chairs to face their grandpa.
We were just playing
in the pool, Grandpa. Ben li ies trying to protect Gwen.
Just playing? Max
asks
Yeah, we were.
Gwen says
Ben turns to Gwen in
shock and gives her a what are you doing look to her.
Whatever it is, just
tell me. Max ensures and then sighs in disbelief.
Both Ben and Gwen feel
more nervous then they did before, Max doesnt see them holding
hands beneath the table theyre sitting at.
Grandpa, I dont
think you will be able to-Ben gets cut off by Max.
Ill be able to
handle it Ben, just tell me. Max says
Ok, I love Gwen.
Ben says
Finally, you two are
getting along. Max replies
I dont think you
understand Grandpa. Gwen interrupts
What do you mean,
Gwen? Max asks
Both Ben and Gwen say
nothing and let go of their hands underneath the table.
Tell me. Max
ensures
Grandpa. Gwen
says with nervousness and sadness in her voice.
Yeah, Gwen? Max
asks
Im in love with
Ben.
Max looks shocked like
he had a stroke.
Max turns to Ben and
asks Ben is this true?
Ben doesnt even look
up to his Grandpa without knowing that they could be in trouble.
Is this true? Max
repeats
Ben looks up to his
Grandpa and admits Yes Grandpa, it is true.
Grandpa Max gets up
from his chair to stand up like he had gone stiff for a minute.
Now I need to tell
you guys something. Max tells
Were in trouble
arent we? Ben says in a nervous voice.
No. Max answers
I had wanted you two to get along much better this summer but I
hadnt expected you too to fall in love for each other but love
does work in mysterious ways.
Youre going to
tell your parents? Gwen asks
Thats up to you
too. Max answers You guys may have to slow down until youre
18 or married, until then you have my blessing.
Thanks, Grandpa!
Both Ben and Gwen exclaim as they hug their grandpa in a bearhug.
You guys almost can
kill me. Max says now be kind as in let me go.
Ben and Gwen let go of
their grandpa.
By the way, you guys
want to go on a fishing trip? Max offers
I thought you went
fishing already. Gwen remarks
It was boring
without you two guys. Max replies Who wants to go?
We do! both Gwen
and Ben exclaims
Im going to make
a call. Max tells
Meanwhile at the
hotel
Telephone rings in the
lobby, Jason goes to answer it.
Hello? Jason asks
Jason, its me.
Max answers
Max, whats up?
Jason, were
leaving the hotel.
You are?
Yeah, take our name
off the book.
Ill do that.
Ok, see ya Jason.

Max hangs up on his
cell phone and says Kids, lets go fishing! Max exclaims
Both Ben and Gwen cheer
happily and the crew is off again onto the highway in the RV.
