Chap-5

Ben drove her deep into the woods allowing her to view the pretty plants and flowers they stopped at a bridge leaving their helmets and the bike. "Tell me something about yourself you've never told anyone else"

"My middle name is Erin" she told him "Erin?" He asked "my mother was pretty gracious considering mal's is Bertha" Yazmine laughed "mine is Florian" Ben walked after her "how princely" she chuckled "ok Erin" he sassed jokingly "wow use my middle name against me, huh?" She playfully rolled her eyes and kept walking.

He guided her down the woods because he demanded she kept her eyes closed. "Ok watch your step" he grabbed her hands and carefully helped her down she backed into his arms scared of her unknown surroundings "ready?" he asked caressing her arm "ok open" Yazmine opened her eyes taking in the scene, it was a pretty land piece sat in front of a lake with a basket of goodies and a bunch of different flowers.

She gasped a bit never had anyone do anything like this for her before she looked up at him smiling before looking back at the little picnic spot as she ran down the rocks "careful don't fall"he called after her.

Yazmine had just finished a chocolate covered strawberry groaning at the great taste, "is this your first time?" Ben asked mesmerized by everything she did "no, if you would even call it a date he just took me to his friends fish and chip shop a lot. Looking back on it they were definitely a little to close for comfort." She wasn't one to share her business but with Ben she felt like she wanted to tell him everything.

"Um, I meant is this your first time eating a chocolate covered strawberry?" He smiled "is it that bad?" She asked covering her face "you got uh, just uh-" he wiped the corner of her mouth "do this" he licked his lips and Yazmine copied.

"Is it gone?" She questioned "you just can't take me anywhere, huh?"

"You know I've done all the talking your turn I really don't know that much about you, tell me something" Ben said "I'm 16, I'm an only child, and I've only ever lived in one place." She listed "me too we have so much in common already" he jokingly beamed "no way!" she played along.

"Ben, you don't want to have anything in common with me" she shook her head looking away. Ben was a good person she had no intention to convert him to evil if she did it wouldn't be the Ben that she had first met . "But, you're gonna be king surely you feel something" asked Yazmine 

"Yeah" he mumbled looking down almost as if he had no interest in talking about it.

"What?" Yazmine was sure his life couldn't be all that bad.

"It's just the crown doesn't make you a king" Ben told her "I'm pretty sure that's the exact thing that makes you king" she said lightly. "No your mother is mistress of mischief, while I have the poster parents for goodness but we're not automatically like them we get to choose who we get to be" Ben's smiley demeanor dropped he was being truly serious.

"And right now I could look into your eyes and tell you're not evil, I can see it" Ben stared her in her eyes forcing her to look into his Yazmine hated that she hated that through everything she had done her personality was nothing but a facade to him. "Well don't" she scoffed looking away from him.

Ben could tell he had upset her he took a hold of her hand "let's go for a swim" he nodded to the enchanted lake "right now? No I-I am good my hair looks terrible wet like...shrinkage" she stuttered profusely "no come on" he said reaching a hand out to her "I think I'll stay here and have a mango I've just never had one before" Yazmine took a bite with all intent of faking her love for them but they were actually quite good and she couldn't stop.

"Don't eat all of them" he chuckled 

"ok." She smiled grabbing more from the bowl in a minutes time Yazmine had devoured half the bowl but stopped as she saw Ben on top of a short rock cliff in nothing but crown boxer shorts she chocked on the bit of mango she was still chewing on.
