Tiana teased as she sighted Raven in the store room. Blushing profusely, Raven concentrated on the pepper balls she was picking.“I should learn to keep things away from you."Tiana faked a yawn. “Like that would ever be possible."Raven shook her head as she walked out of the store. Tiana kept throwing series of questions at her. She wanted to tell her off so bad, but the silly grin was creeping up her face at the mention of him. She had never thought being in his presence would bring her so much solace. They had seen about two movies while eating their dinner and even exchanged small talks.For the first time, since they had been together she noticed how more handsome he looked up close.

"You should have seen her face, she thought I was gay. And I had a good time making her believe her judgement." Christopher chuckled as he took a sip of his wine. "I had always thought I was the only one you intend to always make feel miserable. But I never knew it's actually an intended purpose. What were you wearing to make her think you are gay?" Benjamin shrugged nonchalantly. “I had this tight fitted Jean and body-con top. I was testing out the clothes a company asked me to model for them. It's meant for gays who intend to feel comfortable in men like clothes and at the same time not hide who they are. I guess they did well then, so I would be censoring it."

Ever since Christopher apologized he had become more intentional in the way he treats her. Since their work timings are different and she has to leave home before him, he makes it a point of duty to wake up at the exact time she gets ready to tell her goodbye. It seemed cute to Raven, as the gesture was always made in a shy attempt. One time she had caught Matilda giggling at how childish the both of them were acting. Everyday went by with her falling more in love with him. Christopher just had simple ways of making a woman feel loved. Maybe this is the real Christopher Crawford.
