Benji and I

Chapter 6

Since it was so hot I decided to wear my white tank top with my tan shorts. I slipped on my sandals and made my way out the cabin to meet Benji who was waiting for me.

"Ready to go?"

"Yup. By the way I forgot to mention that you can just call me DeDe or Lilah. Those are my nicknames."

"Okay great. Now let's go. Follow me."

As we were walking through this jungle like island I started to get a bit nervous. I couldn't help but think that maybe he was taking me out here to murder me you know? But Benji is nice and I know he wouldn't do that.

"DeDe, I want you to close your eyes now. I will guide you from here on out."

"Benji I'm not so sure about this. How do I know your not going to throw me off some cliff."

He laughed. Hard. Like really hard.

"Trust me. You need to trust me."

"Ok."

Now trust is not something that I give out so easily but I gave in.

After him guiding me a few steps I began to become a bit shaky. I hated not being able to see. Being blind was one of my worst fears.

"Open your eyes now."

When I opened my eyes, my jaw almost dropped to the floor. In front me me was a huge waterfall flowing into a massive pool like lagoon. It was stunning.

The water looks so fresh and clean.

"Isn't it beautiful?"

"Benji. Oh my gosh! This is so- I'm at a loss for words."

"Are you ready to swim?"

I looked at like with wide eyes. I didn't like being in water.

"What do you mean swim?"

"Well you didn't think I'd bring you to a place like this and we wouldn't get in the water did you."

Benji swiftly removed his shirt from his body and set his phone down.

"Can you swim in your clothes? Maybe you should just take off your tank top and shorts."

I absolutely could not believe what he was asking me to do. I was not going to strip for him to see my like that.

"Delilah lighten up. Get in the water."

"But I-."

Before I could finish my sentence I felt myself being lifted from the ground. Then I briefly was soaring through the air. Before I realized I was crashing down into the water. Benji did a cannon ball right after he threw me in.

He was laughing. I was a little bit annoyed because you don't just throw a person into water like that.

"Oh my gosh Benji why the hell would you do that?"

"Listen I can tell your kind of an uptight person who likes to stay in all day. We're gonna be here for six months you need to have some fun and make the most of the time while we're here"

I had a frown on my face. But Benji was smiling. I couldn't hold my frown for long because his smile was so contagious that I had to smile. He splashed some water in my face and I did so back to him.

I don't know how long we were there playing but we were there for a while. Swimming, talking, getting out then doing flips back in. The water wasn't deep but wasn't shallow either. But I was fine because I had taken swimming classes as a child. Benji of course was as tall as the Eiffel Tower so he could just stand up in the water when needed.

"Wait. I brought my camera with me. Stay in the water let me take some pictures of you."

Oh hell no. I hated pictures of me.

"Nope. I do not like pictures."

"Are you kidding me. You seriously want to go back home with no visual memories"

He did have a point. This was an amazing journey I was on I should at least have something to remember it.

"Okay. Go ahead."

He snapped a couple pictures of me. We both laughed as I attempted to do model poses.

"Hey Benji I'm getting kind of hungry."

"Okay. I think we should change our clothes before we go get lunch."

"Yea alright."

Benji was looking through the pictures he took on his camera. I couldn't help but notice his amazing figure. His biceps were huge as well as that nice six pack sitting on his abdomen. His muscular figure have him such a masculine look. I love it.

"Why don't you take a picture, it'll last longer."

I blushed. I didn't know he caught me staring I thought he was just looking at his camera.

"Sorry."

"It's okay. But seriously come here and take some pictures of me."

I got out of the water and waddled towards him. My clothes were wet and my tank top was almost see through. I hated wet clothes on me but I didn't want to start complaining. I snapped a couple pictures of him, some silly, some serious, and others he just wanted to flex his muscles which I really enjoyed.

On our walk back to the cabin it was quiet and kind of awkward.

"Hey, I just wanted to say thank you for bringing me there. It was really nice."

"Yea. Remember that nobody knows about it though. It's very well hidden and I want it to stay that way. It can just be our spot, okay?"

Our spot. Just a place for me and him. Sounds nice.

"Okay."
