HAPPY HALLOWEEN
Slightly belated Halloween story =) Inspired by a party I was at last night, even though nothing like this happened lol
It was the first Halloween Betty had been by herself. Henry had left to go be with Charlie and the baby, and Gio had been in Rome for the last month. He promised her however, that when he got back that they could be together if that was still what she wanted. After their month apart she definitely knew this was what she wanted… no what she needed.
Betty had been getting ready for the annual Halloween Party at "Mode" and decided that this year she would dress as Sandy from Grease. Hilda had helped her get ready with the hair and the make up and Betty had managed to squeeze into a pair of leather trousers and a black corset top. Hilda had given her a black scarf and had stitched it to the front of Betty's corset to make the infamous off the shoulder sleeves. Betty looked herself in the mirror as she put on her stiletto heels and checked herself out. "What's the point in going to this thing, Hilda? I actually look quite good, however I have no one to impress," Betty sighed. Hilda smirked and looked at her sister. "Just go and have a good time. I'm sure the night will get better as it goes on," she said.
Betty stumbled out of her cab at "Mode" and got in the lift up to the floor the party was at. By the sounds of things, the party had already started and when Betty got to the floor it was on. She looked about and saw everyone dressed up. She couldn't help thinking that her costume looked slightly better than everyone else's. She had obviously put more effort in. She strutted over to the punch bowl and poured herself a drink. She didn't care what was in it. Today would be a night for drowning her sorrows.
After a few hours, Betty started to feel really lonely and decided to phone Gio. He didn't answer so she left a voicemail. "Hi Gio, it's me. Just was feeling lonely and was thinking about you. Hope you are having a good Halloween. See you when you get back." After she hung up she headed back to the punch bowl and got what must have been her tenth class of punch. As her back was turned a stranger approached her. "Wow, Sandy!" he exclaimed. Betty's heart jumped into her throat. She turned around a huge smile on her face. Looking into Gio's face she replied, "Tell me about it, Stud!"
He laughed and pulled her into an embrace. "Gio, what are you doing hear?" she said. "I thought you were in Rome for another week yet. He laughed and looked into her eyes. "Well, I heard that you were missing me and couldn't resist. When I phoned the other day and Hilda said there was a Halloween party and you were dressing as Sandy from Grease. I couldn't resist. And WOW!" he exclaimed, "I'm glad I didn't miss this!" He looked Betty up and down and made her blush.
"I'm glad you're back Gio," she said, a smile creeping across her lips. He looked down at her smiling and noticed that her brace had been taken off. "Wow Betty, I have been gone 3 weeks and you no longer have braces." She smiled to show off her straight teeth. Gio, started singing away to a song that had just come on. It was "Into the Night" by Santana featuring Chad Kroeger. "Come on Betty, let's dance!" he exclaimed taking her hand. He dragged her onto the dance floor.
Everyone stopped to watch Betty and Gio dance. They were amazing together. Even Amanda and Mark stopped judging others to watch. They danced away together, oblivious to everyone else in the room. When the music stopped and changed into a slow song they changed their pace and held each other close. "I never want this to end," Betty whispered into Gio's ear. She rested her head on Gio's shoulder and started breathing onto his neck in a way she knew he would like.
Betty and Gio were in a world of their own. He took her hand and took her outside for some fresh air. She looked out and saw fireworks on the horizon. She looked and Gio and noticed how happy he was. She held his waist and pulled him closer. Gio looked down into Betty's eyes and pulled her closer still. Their lips were about an inch apart. Betty could feel his warm breath against hers. She couldn't take the suspense anymore and crashed their lips together. She kissed him passionately. He groaned with pleasure, which Betty took as a signal to tease some more. She teased his bottom lip with her tongue.
When they finally broke apart, they stood and watched the fireworks. Betty shivered and Gio took her back inside. "Betty, listen! It's our song!" he called out. As they walked back into the hall "You're the One That I Want" was playing so Gio took Betty's hand and dragged her onto the floor. Betty and Gio danced for hours. Betty wanted the night to last forever. She loved being so close to him without anyone interrupting them.
Gio drove Betty home and walked her to the door. "Thank you Gio! Tonight was wonderful," she said. He gave her a warm embrace. He looked down and gave her a goodnight kiss. "I'll phone you tomorrow Betty," he said as she opened the door. "Gio, wait," she ran down the path towards him. "Phone me when you get home please. I want to make sure you are okay." She turned and gave him a lingering kiss and turned and went inside. Gio drove home that night and found it really hard to sleep. There was one woman in his mind. She drove him crazy and he couldn't wait to get closer to her.
