Chapter 2

Niles was at home trying to read a book, but he couldn't concentrate. He hated that Daphne was out there, probably looking stunning as always. He knew she would be hit on, and it was driving him crazy. He truly was a fool, he was so stubborn, but that was him, and he knew he probably would never change. He sat down turning the TV on, he was watching a old movie, but it only reminded him of Daphne more. He grabbed a pillow, he hugged it, and shut his eyes, hoping she would come to her senses, and come home soon.

Frasier drove to the Beach in his car, and parked. He was surprised, there was people there. Daphne smiled, "Come on Frasier, lets go to the beach, and kick off our shoes."

"Kick off our shoes, do you know what could be growing in the sand"?

"Oh God you, and your brother are so alike sometimes. Why don't you live a little, and stop worrying about what ifs."

"Well if you get athletes foot disease, don't whine to me". Daphne got out of the car, and ran over to the sandy beach. She pulled off her shoes, and yelled, "Oh it is Heavenly join me Frasier"

He put his jacket in the car, and locked it. He walked over to the beach, but he didn't take his shoes off. She ran over, "don't you love it here, I do it is beautiful"?

"It is so dark, watch out for dead fish on the sand".

"Stop it Frasier you are a stick in the mud". She grabbed his hand, and they ran over to the water. She walked in, and she smiled, "Oh the water is nice, not to cold come on Frasier please". Frasier shook his head, but she smiled at him, and he took his shoes off, and walked in. She ran over, "I always want Niles to do this, but he doesn't like water. Have you ever seen the movie "From here to Eternity"?

"Yeah Daphne"

"The scene in the water when they kiss was so romantic".

Frasier smiled, "Well we are not doing that, Niles would kill me"

"I now, I want that with Niles, I wish he was here right this moment. I want to feel his lips on mine, just for one moment, I want him to do anything I ask, and not worry if it is proper or smart, or silly". Frasier smiled, "Daphne what has gotten into you tonight"?

"I don't know I'm just feeling alive, and I'm a little sad your brother isn't here to share it with me"

"I'm here Daphne". She hugged Frasier, "I'm grateful for that Frasier, thank you".

Frasier leaned down, and pulled Daphne into a kiss, which shocked her, as she pulled away, and he put his hand to his mouth.

"OMG I'm so sorry Daphne, I don't know what happened"? He ran over grabbing his shoes, she ran over. "Frasier it is ok, it was just a kiss"

"No you are my Brothers girl, I'm disgusting"

"Stop we were just enjoying a moment, I know you don't think of me that way".

Frasier looked at her, he felt something that he never felt before. He enjoyed the kiss, and God forgive him for thinking this, he wanted another one. He turned away, "Daphne lets get you home to my brother, please don't tell him about this"

"I won't Frasier, look at me"

Frasier walked away, making Daphne grab her shoes, and chased after him.
