These past few weeks with Bently have been the best of my life. I enjoy spending time with him, he makes me smile and comforts me, being with him is the relationship I've always wanted. Having to tell Beck and Siena what happened with Mathias wasn't easy, Siena still acts cautious around me, they all do, especially Bently. He refuses to let me out of his sight, but I don't find it annoyingly overbearing, instead it's actually really sweet.

After the whole incident with Mathias I've really done some thinking about the guys I get involved with. I was stupidly desperate to find love this summer, so I forced myself into being with Mathias. I realize now that he was a manipulative jerk, but at the time I was so focused on not falling for Bently that I stayed with that scumbag. I've really tried to let things go about that night, the more I think about it the more upset I get. I've even decided to take up running again, to get my mind off of things. It's nice running on the beach early in the morning, away from tourist and their annoying crying children. It's peaceful, and I love watching the sky change colors as it rises.

This morning it's nice and cool outside. My tennis shoes sink into the wet sand, leaving a distinct imprint behind. I'm sure Bently is somewhere in the distance watching me, but I asked him to let me run this one alone. My music blasts some upbeat latin song in my ears. I sink into the sand, and watch my heaving chest rise and fall. The sand feels cool against my hot back; I smile at the thought of making a sand angel. I close my eyes and let the early morning sun kiss my skin. I've enjoyed getting away these past couple of months, I hate the thought of having to go back to my average boring life, of being a mother, constantly working and going to school.

The bright sun suddenly disappears above me, I quickly sit up in the sand to see Bently leaning over me.

"Can I join you?"
He plops down in the sand next to me; I can't take my eyes off his chiseled, sweaty abs. He looks absolutely sexy, his brown hair sticks up on his head from the sweat, his grey eyes sparkle with the sunlight. He smirks at me when he notices me staring, I look away, slightly embarrassed. Although Bently and I have been acting like a couple we haven't actually made it official. I'm too afraid to say anything, for fear of messing it up or rushing into a new relationship too quickly.

Bently takes an earbud out of my ear and sticks it in his own ear, he smiles and starts to groove to the beat. I chuckle at his attempt at dancing.

"What's so funny?" He smirks at me.

I shrug, "You look ridiculous."

Bently smiles at me, when he smiles his whole face lights up. Bently rips the earbud out of his ear and tackles me to the ground. His dripping sweaty body, hovers two inches above mine.
I growl and attempt to push him off of me, but of course my tiny effort is no match for Bently's strength.

"Ew, Bently you're sweaty get off of me!"

Bently smile turns into a wicked smirk. "We're both sweaty, Nadia. What's a little more sweat?"

"Well it's different when it's your sweat dripping onto me."

Bently rolls his pretty grey eyes. "We've shared plenty of other bodily fluids."

I growl, I hate when Bently constantly reminds me that we've kissed and done other things before, he's always so blunt about it. I roll my eyes at him, then make an ugly face. Bently chuckles and leans down to kiss me. When our lips meet my world explodes, I melt into his touch. Bently wraps his arms around my torso and rolls me over, so he's on the bottom and I'm on top of him. When we break apart Bently smirks at me, and flicks my nose like I'm a two year old.
