Chapter Eight: Twitterpaided
Darcy spun in front of Beth's full length mirror, making sure her fitted baby doll tee didn't look indecent. She'd chosen a sexy pair of black jeans, a black baby doll tee, a black and white southwestern print fringed cardigan and a pair of kiss ass ankle boots. She had kept her makeup simple and pin up style including deep red lipstick.
" You look hot" Beth said raking her hands through Darcy's rich black curls. " But did you have to wear that old lady perfume." Darcy rolled her eyes at Beth
"Tabu is not old lady perfume, they wouldn't keep making it if it wasn't popular." Beth scrunched her nose, picking up the violin shaped bottle.
" Poor Steve kissing you when you smell like his grandma." Darcy stuck her tongue out at Beth.
" Shut up." but before she could say anything else Sam called up the stairs
" Darce, Steve's here!" she grabbed her purse and rushed out of the bedroom with Beth on her heels.
" You've got breath mints? Extra cash for emergencies? Condoms?" Beth asked, and Darcy sighed.
" Yes, Yes and yes not that will need them as were taking it slow Beth" Jesus Beth was really becoming a lot like Ma, which was a terrifying thought. Descending the stairs Darcy caught sight of Steve, and fought the urge to wolf whistle. He looked completely edible in black dress slacks and a indigo blue button up topped off by his brown leather bomber jacket. Darcy bounced down the last four steps and tackled Steve in an enthusiastic hug, her arms around his neck forcing her on to tiptoe. She stepped back grinning that his face was red, she loved the way he blushed. He coughed slightly and brought his hand from behind his back, she hadn't even noticed he had it there. He presented her with a bouquet of rainbow gerba daisies and yellow button mums, Darcy blinked she'd never received flowers before. She took them shakily and flashed Steve a giddy smile she felt a little overwhelmed no one had ever treated her so well before. Beth patted her shoulder
"I'll put them in water for you Darce, you two should head out." that jolted her out of her slight stupor and she handed them over and talked Steve in another hug making sure to press the girls against him a little.
"They're beautiful handsome, thank you."
Darcy beamed as they entered starlight, she loved the look of the place it had a vibe about it. While Steve bought their tickets and Darcy insisted in standing in line for snacks. Steve came over and Darcy immediately squished into his side sliding her hand into his.
" Do you want popcorn babe?" she asked to busy looking at the sign to notice realize she let the endearment slip, or Steve's gob smacked expression. the line moved and when Darcy looked over at Steve his face, ears and neck and red but she didn't know why. The clerk at the counter asked them what they would like drawing her attention from Steve, she'd just ask him later.
Darcy grinned the popcorn came in old timey striped single serving bags, the cokes in glass bottles. The seats which were red velvet low to the ground and she wondered if Steve would fit. he had chosen a pair right smack dab in the center of the theater and she had to admit the view was really good. getting comfortable she pushed off her booties like she always did at movies and tucked her feet underneath her and slid her arm through Steve's. Pressing her cheek to his bicep, popcorn in her lap, in her opinion the perfect movie watching position. halfway through the movie, Darcy was trying to contain her tears. Damn Disney he could choke her up every time, Dumbo and Bambi were the ones she got the most choked up on. All of sudden something white came into her vision, a handkerchief, her first thought was who carries those anymore? But of course Steve would he was gentlemen, her second thought was awe he was so freaking sweet she was getting cavities. She took it and dab her eyes gently not wanting to get it dirty with mascara and eyeliner, that would be a bitch to get off. She laid it on her lap and then cuddled more fully into Steve's side. At the end of the movie , Darcy loved the smile on Steve's face. However she didn't like having to stop her cuddle session with him.
Darcy slid off Steve's bike and like always he walked her to the front door. How she managed to find a clean , sober, and polite gentleman still surprised her but she knew he was a keeper. Once they were on the porch, Darcy grabbed Steve by the shirt and pulled him down. Pressing a kiss to his full lips, she knew she should have probably waited until he kissed her. But Darcy was never good at impulse control, she ran her tongue over the seam of Steve's lips. He gasped and she plunged her tongue in to his mouth, Steve stiffened slightly and Darcy backed off. She didn't want to freak him out, she kept the kiss clean after that. Just when she was about to slide one hand up into his hair and the other lower down his back. The door opened
" Oh sorry" Sam said and he quickly closed the door. Darcy pulled back smiling up at Steve who was red and his eyes were wide he also had lipstick all over his mouth.
" I - I, um I had a nice time, goodnight Darcy." he quickly headed down the porch steps almost stumbling and down the walkway. Darcy hurried into the house with a bright grin ,Sam was watching Steve out of the window beside the door.
"What's wrong with Steve" he asked Darcy gave her brother in law a slight noogie
" Nothing he's twitterpaided" she said on a giggle.
