Challenge: "Hey, I'm with you, okay? Always."
Beetlejuice was fuming. He felt so angry that he could just burst. In fact he took a moment leaving Lydia back inside the bar so he could do just that outside. He paced back and forth in front of the establishment. Had this been the Neitherworld he could have juiced the fucker who hit on Lydia and had it over with.
But no, they were in the real world and she had to go and be POLITE! She smiled at the dark haired pretty-boy. She didn't tell him to back off or get lost. She said nothing about being taken. What did she say? "Oh there you are Beej. I've been waiting for you. Nice to meet you, Fred."
The guy even had the nerve to send Lydia a drink… which she accepted. He excused himself because he felt the juice ready to pop. The last thing he needed was to make her upset with him.
So there he was, outside. Without Lyds and having the worst case scenario run through his head.
"Beej" He heard her voice behind him. "Hey, what are you doing out here? I've been waiting for that dance you promised me."
"Hm? Oh yeah." He turned to her and shrugged. "Guess I just lost the groove."
"Don't tell me you were out here moping." She gave him a bemused smile, rolling her eyes at the very idea.
"No, just… letting off some juice. Know what I mean." Of course his smile didn't really form so it came out like a wince more than anything.
"Oh BJ." She sighed, taking his hand. She lifted up on her toes and gave him a soft kiss on the nose. "Don't be so sulky."
"You should go on back in there. Pretty boy Fred looked like he was ready for that dance." He didn't mean for that to come out as bitter as it sounded but when was he ever able to keep his emotions in check. Especially when it came to Lydia. She was everything to him.
Lydia chuckled and grabbed his cheeks so that he would look straight at her, "Hey, I'm with you, Okay? Always." She pulled him down to her level. "Just kiss me already, you silly ghost."
He blinked a few times trying to let those words sink in but when they did, his confidence came back. With the dopiest grin on his face he did just what she asked and gave her the best kiss he could manage.
