"How so?" He asked and kept playing fetch with the dogs.

"Well, lets forget the past few times we have run into each other," Whitney started saying, trying to think of the right words. "And just start off right. Hey my name is Whitney," She said holding out her hand to him.

He nodded and shook her hand. "Ben." He replied, looking down at her curiously.

Whitney smiled and blushed, the butterflies returning to her stomach. The two goldens ran over to her, wagging and panting and wanting to jump on her. "Calm down you two!" She exclaimed as she grabbed their leashes and unhooked them.

He chuckled softly and watched as his Belgium Sheppard sauntered over and flopped down by Ben's feet, chewing on the stick.

"Sooo, your sister is the principal?" Whitney asked trying to think of a subject to talk about. She picked up another stick and tossed it, the goldens quickly followed after it.

He nodded and sat by his dog, who continued to gnaw on his stuck. "Yup, she's my sister." He scratched his temple and shrugged.

"Like biological sister?" Whitney asked, feeling more comfortable around him as one of the goldens, Thomas she thought, brought the stick back. She struggled to take it back, he wasn't going to let it go easily. "I have an older brother and a younger sister," She said suddenly feeling homesick for Florida and her family. She finally got the stick back and threw it again, watching as the two dogs run after it.

"Yeah, she's a few years older than me. She's my only biological sister, the rest of my siblings are adopted." Ben replied and scratched the back of his dogs head. "But even so, they're still my brothers and sisters and I'd never think less of them because of genetics."

Whitney smiled, her heart melted a little as he talked about his adopted siblings. "My mother's cousin is adopted, and she loves her like a sister," She said knowing being adopted didn't mean they weren't family. "How many siblings do you have?" She asked as the two goldens brought the stick back to Whitney both holding it.

Ben scratched his cheek. "I have five sisters and six brothers." He replied as he thought of his family, wishing that he could go home and see everyone, but knew that wouldn't happen for a long time.

Whitney's mouth dropped opened "Five sisters and six brothers?" She said in astonishment, she couldn't imagine having that many siblings at all. "I don't think I could handle that," She said thinking she and her siblings now had their fights every once in awhile.

Ben chuckled softly and shrugged. "It was intense, but I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world. I love my family and despite all of our troubles I wouldn't want to have it any other way."

Whitney smiled softly, her cheeks burning for no reason but she loved the way he talked about his family. She remembered she was still holding onto the stick when the Goldens tried to take it out of her hands. She threw it before they could and turned back to Ben. "Soo..." She said, putting her hands behind her back.

Ben glanced up at her quietly, looking her up and down. "So your name's Whitney," he said softly as the thought of the Shark Tank popped into his mind. He had seen it a couple times and took some joy from reading the funny stories, but he remembered seeing her name on there, "were you on that blog?"

Whitney nodded her head when he said her name, wondering where he was going with this. Oh the blog right, she thought slowly nodding her head. "Yes, once or twice I believe." She said not really wanting to think about it.

He nodded. "Yeah, you're dating a girl named Shara." He said bluntly, not caring if she was in a relationship or not. He kind of wanted her and when he wanted something, he wasn't going to give up on it until he had it.

Whitney blushed deeply as he bluntly said that, she and Shara had discussed not really telling anyone yet. They liked keeping it a secret and the Shark Tank had ruined it. "Yeah, I mean it's in the beginning stages and we didn't want people to really know," She said looking away from him. She silently cursed the Shark Tank.

He nodded and watched the dogs. "I never pictured you as a lesbian. I guess it's always the hot ones that are out of my league are ones." He mused, not sounding mean or trying to be.

"Well..." Whitney said slightly turning back to him only too look at her feet. She blushed when he called her hot, she did have to say he was a good looking guy and the only one to create butterflies in her stomach. "Um... I'm..... I think..." She said trying to figure out how to say this when the dogs brought back the stick, Whitney was glad for the distraction as she grabbed the stick and threw it again.
