It was the start of the October holiday and Betty was sat at home watching TV with her family. Her phone started vibrating in her pocket and as she took her phone out her heart skipped a few beats seeing Gio's name appearing on the screen. She opened the messages and smiled as it said, "HEY BABES, TONIGHT I'LL PICK YOU UP AT 6.30 AT YOUR HOUSE. TAKE YOUR DANCING SHOES. IT'S OUR FIRST OFFICIAL DATE. LOVE YOU! GIO X."
Betty grabbed hold of Hilda's arm and dragged her upstairs. "I'm going out with Gio tonight on our first official date!" she exclaimed, smiling. "Oh, mija! We need to go shopping then. Where are you going?" Hilda exclaimed, excited for her sister. She could tell that Betty had fallen for him and she was glad that her sister was happy.
At about quarter past 6, Gio arrived at the Suarez house. He was very nervous but knew the night was going to be amazing: Just him and Betty dancing the night away. Hilda opened the door and welcomed him in. "Betty will be down soon. Just tae a seat and I'll go get her," she said bouncing up the stairs.
Slowly, Betty walked down the stairs, her new dress bouncing around her knees. Gio looked up and saw her; she really was beautiful. He got up and helped her down the last few steps. "For you," he said holding out a bouquet of red roses. Betty gasped. "Thank you," she said smiling brightly.
She walked through to the kitchen and popped them into a vase before her and Gio headed off to the club. When Gio's mum dropped them off at the club, they headed inside hand in hand. "Wow," Betty said taking off her jacket. She took in her surroundings: the room was filled with people dancing.
As Betty took off her jacket, Gio couldn't help but stare. She looked stunning.
She had a gorgeous red dress on, which showed just the right amount of cleavage to keep him guessing and stopped just above her knee. It was something he would never have expected her to wear. "Do you want a picture?" she asked him, blushing slightly. He laughed, "Yeah I would," he said whipping out his phone to take a picture of the two of them together. He wanted to remember their first date forever.
They found a table and sat down. After ordering drinks, Gio held his hand out to Betty. It was a bit of déjà vu moment as he immediately thought of the prom. As she grabbed his hand he felt the spark run up his arm like normal, when they touched. He smiled at her and put his hand on her waist as she put hers around his neck when they got onto the dance floor. They swayed backwards and forwards. Gio could feel Betty's breathe on his neck and it sent shivers down his spine. She moved closer towards him and he felt his heart pounding in his chest even harder. She looked so beautiful and as she put her head on his shoulder, his hear beat even faster. He dipped her backwards and felt the urge to kiss her.
Betty looked up into Gio's hazel eyes as he dipped her backwards. His hold was so firm and his eyes were glittering. Their lips were inches apart and Betty felt a gravitational force pull her towards them. They locked lips and gently kissed for a few minutes. Betty had made the first move yet again. She enjoyed being more adventuress around him.
Gio had been shocked when she had kissed him. He had been away to and she made the first move. Her lips were soft against his. He held his grip on Betty and put one hand to touch her face and pull her closer to him. She was wearing cherry lip-gloss and as they parted he liked his lips. "Yum," he said smirking at Betty. She giggled as he pulled her into his embrace. "I could get used to that," she said smiling brightly and winking at him. "Me too," he thought, also thinking about how he wanted to kiss her again.
Gio and Betty went back and sat down at their table and sipped at their drinks. They couldn't take their eyes off of each other all night. They sat and spoke and danced the majority of the night. At about 11 o'clock Betty let out a yawn. "Come on, princess," Gio said grabbing her hand and her jacket and leading her out of the club. "Let's get you home."
They walked through Queens, speaking away, until Betty shivered. Gio used this as an excuse to wrap his arms around her. She felt safe in his arms and never wanted to leave.
They arrived at her house and Betty turned around to face Gio. "Thank you for tonight. That was the best first date I have ever had," she said blushing. Moving closer to him she whispered, "It is the only first date I have ever had." He smiled watching her blush. He took her in his arms tighter and kissed her passionately. She was taken aback, but slowly sunk into it. As they pulled apart she smiled. "I've been waiting to do that since the last one," Gio said blushing. She kissed him gently on the cheek. "Thank you for tonight! I better go inside. I'll text you babes. I love you," she said giving him a hug. "It's my pleasure. I love you too and I look forward to your text." He watched her go inside and turned to head home. He was happy, very happy and he reckoned he would be forever as long as he would be with Betty.
