Iris rested her head on Benjamin's as she wrapped her arms around his neck as he swam through the deep water. She felt safe and calm with him as if he could never hurt her. Maybe it was the fact that she wouldn't have an issue with fans' hate comments like in her past relationships.

"What's on your mind?" he asked as he held onto the legs of his iris, which were wrapped around his waist.

"Oh, nothing. I'm just so calm right now. That's new to me, to be honest," said Iris as she lowered her head and rested her chin in the nook of his neck.

"With all the paparazzi and not having any privacy, it's understandable," he said as he looked over his shoulder. His eyes were affectionate, all for Iris.

"Stop looking at me with those eyes," said Iris with a shy smile

"Like how?" Benjamin said as he let out a laugh after his question

"Like if you liked me or something," said Iris as she messed with a few strands of his hair

"Iris, I wouldn't be this touchy with anyone if I didn't find them attractive or liked them. Honestly, I wouldn't have even let you kiss me drunk if I didn't," said Ben as he turned in the water so that they were face to face.

Iris laughed as she thought back to when she randomly kissed him drunk, and she had a mental panic attack that resulted in apologizing to him profusely after the kiss. He responded so calmly to it, as if it was okay that the kiss occurred between them.

"This is not a laughing matter. I'm trying to confess my feelings to you here," Benjamin joked as he had a false pout

"I know, Benny. Let's keep it short and confirm that we like each other with a kiss. What do you think?" Iris said as she slowly wrapped her arms around his neck and legs around his waist to support her weight under the water.

Benjamin responded with a deep kiss that she gladly accepted. The kiss made her feel giddy and excited in her stomach. Iris felt so happy, oblivious to what was to come in the future.
