Chapter Three: The Night Before
He had tried, truly he did. But it just wasn't working. Physically, he meant. Daniel had tried early in the day after Betty left the bar to woo the blond in the bikini. However, after a few minutes of foreplay, little Daniel didn't seem up to completing the task. His one time with a stranger for one night didn't work out the way he expected. Daniel guesses that maybe his love for Molly was just too deep. And when she died that love started to morph into something else. But he didn't know exactly what it was but he could feel it. And if he couldn't move on he feared that it might turn into something he couldn't stop.
Daniel had a hard time focusing on the words of the menu after ten minutes of waiting. He made the invitation as carefree and friendly as possible. He was now wondering what went wrong; maybe it was too carefree, too friendly. Maybe she was standing him up because she changed her mind. He had no intensions of doing anything with Betty, because she deserved better. But he didn't have time to linger long as Betty walked towards the table.
"Hi." Betty greeted Daniel.
She was beautiful, no gorgeous. She was dressed in a red bikini and wore a black crochet cover up. She was like nothing Daniel had ever seen before. He knew she had curves from the first day he asked her to stand in for one of the models. But he didn't know just how beautiful she was.
"Hi," Daniel said, "Would you like a seat?" he motioned to the seat across from him. Betty sat down, the moonlight making her skin glow. The waitress soon came over and both Daniel and Betty ordered their drinks.
"So how late was I?" Betty asked.
"Not long." Daniel stated as he looked back down to his watch and notice she had only been about five minutes late and that he had actually arrived early in order to make a good impression. Those five minutes seemed like the longest in his life.
It wasn't long before the waitress came back with their drinks in hand and placed them on the table before walking away. "It's a beautiful night, don't you think?" Betty asked.
"Tonight is beautiful." Daniel said staring at Betty as she sipped her cocktail. Daniel stared his hardest to keep his eyes on the menu in front of him.
"Have you ordered?" Betty asked.
"No." Daniel said, "But I haven't had a chance to really look at the menu."
Betty looked up at Daniel, "What's wrong?"
"Wrong?" Daniel asked, "Why would anything be wrong?" After his failed attempt on the blonde, Daniel had remained in his room for the rest of the day. He couldn't figure out what it was. He like the Blonde just fine, and it was not like he hadn't had fun with girls like that before.
Betty gave Daniel her famous eyebrow that raised a full few centimeters into her forehead. It was striking, powerful and questioning all at the same time. "Daniel?" She asked like mother to her defiant child. "Tell me."
"Well where do I start?"
"Where else? The beginning."
"After you left…"
Dinner passed quickly. It became a blur of spicy foods, sweet drinks, and great conversation. Soon after they finished dessert, Betty and Daniel ended up at the beach.
"This was great." Betty said as she looked out on the ocean.
"It was." Daniel said. "I wish this could last forever."
Betty looked over to Daniel, "Me too. But our life is not here, it's in New York." She said in a sigh.
"I know." Daniel said, "I just want a break from life. A break from everything. After Molly, I didn't think I could function again." Daniel paused forcing his hand deeper into the cool sand. "But I did, against everything, I did." Daniel sighed. "I don't know what to do, Betty. I feel like I'm slowly fading back into black, white, and shades of gray, after experiencing the world in Technicolor. The thing with the girl was supposed to bring it back. Not just the whole sex thing, although that was a big part of it. I mean falling in love again."
Betty smiled, over the last four years she had seen him change greatly. "You will find love again, Daniel. I'm sure of it." Betty laid her head on Daniel's shoulder.
Betty lifted her head and looked over at Daniel and smiled. Daniel smiled back. "I hope you are right." Daniel whispered. He didn't know how it happened, but looking back a few days later he findsthat he really didn't mind. Daniel was a few inches from her lips. He was tempted to press his lips against hers, but he held back.
Moonlight lit up the beach in gray and white tones. "What is it? Do I have something on my face?" Betty wondered when Daniel started to stare.
Daniel raised his eyebrows in a question. "No, you have nothing on your face. Why would you ask?" Daniel face hurt. He had realized how many times he hadn't smiled in the last few months until he had sat down and enjoyed himself.
"You were staring." Betty stated. Daniel took a breath and decided that maybe tonight would be different than this morning.
"Because your beautiful, Betty." Betty smiled at Daniel. She couldn't believe what she was hearing. She knew that this was Daniel, the sweet Daniel that she had discovered in her first year at MODE.
Daniel leaned in slightly not wanting to scare Betty. "Betty?" He asked.
"Yes." She answered. Betty looked over at Daniel, questioning his glaze.
"Daniel?" Daniel pressed his lips on hers. Betty was shocked. She never expected Daniel to kiss her. But he did.
Daniel blinked a few times before truly waking up. He looked around and noticed that he was on the plane back to New York, back to his life, a life he did not want to go back to.
He remembers his last few hours in the Bahamas.
Daniel kissed Betty softly. He knew that the night would be soon be over and the last day in the Bahamans would be upon them shortly. They would be going back to New York the next day and he wanted to make every second count. He wanted to be with her one last time before the night over. He knew once they were back in New York, he and Betty would no longer be lovers, but friends.
"Daniel, again." she whispered. His erection rubbed against her belly. He wanted her again despite the consequences. Betty wrapped her legs around his torso. His arms caged her in, resting just above her head.
"Daniel, please." she moaned against him. Daniel wanted this once last chance to be with her before they separated and went their own ways.
Daniel silenced her with a kiss. He cupped her breast and slowly made his way down her body with his fingers. He swiftly pushed two fingers into her, and then slowly moved them within her. Wetness gathers quickly between her thighs.
She held on to his biceps as he pushed into her. Her nails bit into his skin as he was inside of her. He stilled, once he is fully seated within her. He kissed Betty long and hard trying imprint the memories of these last few hours in his brain.
"Daniel," she pants. He knew she wanted more, he could feel it in her kisses. He has never remembered a time before when he wanted someone so badly.
"Betty, wait, just a minute." He wanted to savor the moment to make it last just a bit longger before they had to leave. He slowly pulled out and pushed back in as Betty's nails created fresh red lines across his back on top of the slightly older ones that he had gained throughout the night.
"Faster." she whined. Betty was tired of taking it slow. She wanted him. And she wanted him now. Daniel pushed into her again roughly, but at a snail like pace. Betty saw fit to punish him and created another pair of red lines up his back.
"Ow, Betty." he panted into her ear. "I'm going to make you pay for that." He pinned her down onto the bed, taking both hands threading their fingers together. Daniel soon thrusted back into her with force over and over again. Slowly the pace increased. Pleasure building between them, thrust after thrust.
"Daniel, I'm almost there." Betty whispered. He nodded forcing his face from her neck to see her face. He thrusted faster now with her body moving in tandem. Her breath coming out in short bursts.
"Betty," he moaned. "Oh, God. Betty." He was so close but he wanted Betty to come first. He tried as hard as he could to hold off until she came. He was a good lover and he always delivered on his promises.
"Daniel," she screamed as she came. Her walls pulsing around him with her thighs squeezing his torso. Soon after he released inside of her, releasing a loud moan into her neck. He smiled.
Lazily Daniel drew across her skin as they lay there together, soaking in the after glow of their lovemaking. He was going to miss this. Daniel knew the moment Betty left his room he would want her even more. He may have only the pleasure of having Betty for a night but he would do anything for a lifetime.
Daniel snapped out of his daydream and tried to focus his surroundings. His eyes founded Betty sleeping away on the plane a few rows up. They had agreed that the time they had in the Bahamas would stay in the Bahamas. He didn't think the agreement would wear out this fast. And now he was fucked, he was so fucked. The moment he saw her on the plane sleeping away. This was the moment he realized that maybe not everything stays in the Bahamas.
To be continued…
