D'awh, so sweet. You did a great job of capturing both their characters here. I especially love your Ben. I could easily picture him hiding a laugh behind a cough. Your ending line was also very sweet. The only critique I have is that sometimes you used incorrect grammar when linking clauses with because. Other than that, though, your tone and writing style were brilliant.

Great job! I really enjoyed this.

Wow, I usually find present tense (I think that's what it's called ;) hard to read/write but I think you did a great job with it. Also, what a very cute little pre-relationship story for these two _
