*Raven's pov*

Me and Ben are just sitting on the blanket talking and laughing.

Ben: "Have you tried a strawberry?"

I looked at him confused.

Me: "What's a strawberry?"

He held it up to me.

Ben: "A delicious fruit, it's really good. Trust me, sweetie."

I gave him a loving look, then leand forward and took a bit of the strawberry. As soon as the strawberry hit my tounge my taste buds went wild.

Me: "Mmmm. That's really good, I think I just found my favorite fruit."

I picked up another strawberry while Ben smiles at me.

Ben: "Wait until you try them with chocolate."

I got excited because that sounded good.

Me: "I can't wait!"

He laughed at my excitement causing me to look at him lovingly. I love him..No, not just love. I'm in love with Ben. He is so kind, funny, handsome and so much more.

Ben: "In a few minutes I will start your swimming lessons."

Me: "I can't wait!"

*3rd pov*

After a few minutes of talking Ben stands up and holds his hand out to Raven. Smiling up at him she takes his hand and stripes down to her bikini. As she was doing that she noticed Ben staring at her, causing her to smirk.

Raven: "See something you like, Ben?"

Ben look at her while she teases him, so he decided to tease her back.

Ben: "Actually I do. Now, if only I can touch this beautiful creature in front of me."

She just walks over to him with a smirk. When she gets to him she puts her arms around his neck.

Raven: "There, now you have."

They both laughed.

Raven: "I'm ready to go swimming with you now."

Ben takes her arms from his neck then leads her to the water. When they get to the lake Ben goes in first.

Ben: "Come on. I will hold you the entire time."

*Raven's pov*

As soon as he said those words I knew he was telling the truth. I would be lieing if I say that I wasn't nervous. But I know I will be safe with him. So I took a deep breath and took his hand. I gasped when the water touched my feet because I thought it was gonna be freezing but surprisingly it felt nice. After I got over the shock I looked at Ben. I practically jumped into his arms. That got Ben to laugh then he looked at me with a loving look.

Ben: "Do you trust me, Rav?"

I looked at him lovingly because that is the first time he gave me nickname.

Me: "I do trust you, my Beasty."

As soon as I said 'My Beasty' his smile got bigger.  I kept my arms around his neck while he bent down and picked me up bridle style. That scared me cause Ben to whisper in my ear.

Ben: "It's okay Rav. Just relax I got you."

After a few seconds I was finally able to calm down, and slowly let my arms fall from his neck so I can lean back.

Again it took me a few seconds to relax but I finally able to and it felt so good to relax for a change.
