Sita's POV

Ben made me wear life jacket. As soon as got on to jet ski, I pressed the accelerator, soon I hit 75 kmph. I heard Ben shouting behind me. In few seconds he caught up with me, I slowed down

"You are so wild Sita" he said 

"You haven't really seen my wild side... let's race" i said and sped without waiting for his reply... I could see Ben right behind me. He is good but no match for me. Me and Santhosh go extremely wild when it comes to water sports. After sometime, I didn't find Ben behind, I looked back...it's almost dark, could only see Ben's Jet ski lights.  he  is not moving. Is something wrong? I went to him

"No fuel" he said and hopped on to mine

"You weren't joking when you said, you are wild with water sports" he said hugging my waist and placed his chin on my right shoulder. I felt tingling sensations. Soon, my jet ski is also out of fuel, luckily we were near the land. Got down and swam to the shore. Ben was worried even though I was wearing life jacket. There is no signal in phone, we walked through the isolated place, using flash light from cell. I'm damn tired, Ben too looked tired. Finally we saw light from a tree house. I was hoping to see people but no one was there, the light is just solar light. We went inside, it was not locked. 

"This is so beautiful Ben, I always wanted a tree house" i said excitedly 

"Looks like people build it for people like us who are lost..." he said 

"I'm so hungry, wish there is something to eat" i said

Ben looked in the kitchen "there is canned food, peas, beans, corn..." 

Yuck, no offense but the canned food? I can't eat, I need spices. Ben smiled looking at my face

"Don't worry I will make something" he said 

"Really?" I'm so happy at the thought of having some real food

"Ben, I'm stinking... I will take shower and come" 

Shower is too small... 'what do you expect Sita? Be thankful that you have shower ?' My mind scolded me. Yeah, it's not bad, so clean and guess what? There is body wash, shampoo, cream and towels...took sweet time taking shower... 

Ben's POV

I'm happy to find a roof, grateful for the owner to have essentials. I learnt cooking during my stay in US. It came handy. I heard Sita scream, rushed to her. She is just in small towel that is hardly covering her. She was shocked to see me and shouted "get out". Immediately I turned away from her but couldn't get her image out of my brain 

"What's wrong? Why did you scream?" I asked 

"I... I don't have anything to wear..." she said in low voice? I told her that I will look if there are any dresses. Unfortunately i couldn't find any. 

"I didn't find anything to wear. There is washing machine, give me your dress, I will wash..." I already put my clothes in washing, I wrapped towel around my waist. I imagined Sita scream seeing me in towel but didn't think that I would see her in towel. I should have thought that we don't have clothes. How can I be so stupid?

"What? No? How can I give my..." she stopped probably shy about me touching her inners

"I will get blanket, cover yourself and come" I suggested 

"No way..." she said firmly 

"My clothes are washed...but not dried..."

"It's ok, I will wear but for love of god please cover your upper body also in towel" she shouted
