AN: Love Moonlight. Unfortunately don't own. If I did, I would make sure that it wasn't cancelled and have Mick and Josef on my speed dial...nuff said.
This is a one shot, I think. Beth's POV. Josef has asked her to be "friends with benefits."
On to the story!
-Elle Sparrow
I held my home phone in my left hand with my right hand prepared to dial. I pushed the "talk" button then the first number. In frustration I pushed the "off" button and sighed. This was more difficult than I had anticipated. I sat down on the sofa starting at the phone. Secretly asking it to tell me the answer. I closed my eyes and leaned back thinking about the conversation that brought me so much frustration now.
Josef sat at his desk smirking at me as I walked in.
"Beth, so nice to see you."
I smiled genuinely,
"The feeling is mutual Josef. What can I do for you?"
"Do you want anything to drink?"
He gestured for me to sit as he stood up and walked to the other side of the desk now being closer to me.
"No, I'm fine. But, you don't seem to be."
Josef raised an eyebrow,
"Oh, I'm fine. But, I do have a question for you."
I laughed,
"Just one?"
He leaned against his desk and folded his arms,
"Is it ever?"
I opened my mouth to speak and immediately closed it.
"Tell me Beth, you and Mick haven't gotten together yet? There's an obvious mutual attraction there, but nether one of you seem to be doing anything about it."
I stood up, walked back a couple of feet and glared at him,
"I really don't see how any of this is your business."
He took a step closer, teasing me with the glint in his eye.
"But isn't it? For whatever reason he hasn't made his move, and for whatever reason you are alright with that. Which leads me to think that we have to do something about this?"
"We?"
"Yes, you need a teacher. To help you become a lover to a vampire."
I swallowed the lump in my throat and faked a smile,
"So what are you suggesting exactly?"
Before I knew what was happening Josef was behind me with one arm around my waist and another tilting my neck to the side. He placed a soft kiss just at the base of my neck. Whatever had come over me was intoxicating. At this moment I wanted no one, but Josef. He finally whispered in my ear.
"Friends with benefits. You get to learn and I, well I get you."
In an instant he had distanced himself from me and now stood waiting for my answer.
"I-I- have to think about it."
He smirked and swaggered back to his desk,
"Fair enough two days."
I nodded, not being able to say anything else.
I smiled, knowing my answer as I got off the sofa and walked to my bedroom to change.
An hour later.
I confidently knocked at the door. A smiled crept on my face as I heard the lock turn and door open.
"Yes."
