Author note: I know it's a short chapter but it is going to be two parts. The second part will be longer!

Betty woke up completely confused. She remembered Gio coming over and comforting her but she didn't remember falling asleep. She took in her surroundings and smiled when she saw that her hand was intertwined with another and played with Gio's silver bracelets. Betty could feel Gio's breathe on her neck and his legs tangled with hers.

Gio pulled Betty in closer to his body when he felt her stir. She smelled incredible a mixture of strawberries, vanilla, and soap. She was mentally tired from everything that she had been through and he cursed himself for being part of her problems. Gio could feel Betty move as she turned around and bury her face into his chest. He smiled at every rule she was breaking as he gently ran his fingers through her hair.

"Good morning, Gio." Betty let out in a mumble.

"Have a nice nap, B?" Gio asked as Betty looked up into his coco colored eyes.

"Yeah, thanks for making me feel better." Betty said softly.

"No problem." Gio announced as he gently rubbed his thumb in circles on the back of her neck.

Betty moved her hand so it was resting just above Gio's heart.

Gio took her hand and brought it up to touch his lips. He ended up throwing caution to the wind and pulled her so close to him that he was kissing her lips.

Betty let out a small cry of shock before she relaxed and kissed him back.

Gio massaged her bottom lip with his as his tongue explored her mouth.

Betty's hand rubbed his shaved head and Gio let out a small groan.

Gio rolled them over so that he was on top of her as his hand slipped inside her shirt.

Betty immediately tensed up and pushed Gio gently off of her. She sat up and faced the door that led to the balcony.

Gio kicked himself for moving too fast. He couldn't control himself when it came to her. "Betty, I'm so sorry, I got a little carried away."

"Don't be sorry, I got a little carried away to."Betty let out as turned around and faced him.

"Yeah, you drive me crazy, in a good way of course."Gio said with a small smile.

"Gio, it's not that I don't want to…. I'm just not ready right now."Betty let out.

"I know it's too soon after Henry." Gio said hoping that really wasn't the reason.

"No, that's not what's stopping me. It's not like Henry and I were that intimate."Betty announced as she bowed her head in shame of the lack of experience she had.

"Is that what's stopping you, B?"Gio asked.

"Yes, I have only been with two men and they were just as experienced as I was." Betty announced.

"They were that bad,"

"Walter and I were each other's first, and every time was exactly the same. Henry planned every time. The only time that we didn't plan it was our first time, and I could never enjoy myself because I was always worried about him leaving."

"Walter's every move in bed was exactly the same?" Gio asked trying to hold in his laughter.

"Down to his moves, to his facial expressions, and he wasn't gentle either."Betty announced grimacing at the times she came home barely walking, and teeth marks on various body parts.

Gio felt bad for Betty that she had such horrible experiences with both men in her life. He vowed to stay true to his statement when he asked her "Am I a gentle lover?"

Two hours past as they both sat on Betty's balcony eating lunch and staring out at the city.

Gio never thought Betty looked prettier than she did sitting next to him. She had her hair piled on top of her head, a pink blouse with small white polka dots on it, and a pair of jeans.

They both were both bare footed and enjoying the view.

Betty wondered if they were to enjoy the rest of the month together. Now that she spent the rest of the afternoon with Gio, she didn't want to let him go. She looked over at Gio and smiled as she took him in. He had on a wife beater and a pair of blue jeans. She remembered this morning he smelled so good, a combination of after shave, cologne, and his natural scent. It brought her back to her dream and she inwardly groaned.

Gio knew he wouldn't be able to walk out of this hotel room unless they spent the rest of their trip together. He grabbed her arm and pulled her out of her chair until she was sitting in his lap.

"Betty, are you going to have dinner with me tonight or do we need to stick with the plan?" Gio questioned.

"I think we should have dinner and spend the rest of the trip exploring together. But I think we should keep our separate rooms." Betty let out knowing she wouldn't control herself. She knew this was going to be a challenge. She just hoped she could keep it up before she fully attacked him.

"Ok, that sounds good." Gio said softly knowing full well that it was going to kill him.

Authors note: Will our two love birds be able to handle separate rooms or will they give in to temptation before the month is over? I guess will have to wait and see.
