Chapter (10)

Daniel sung in the shower. Betty didn't know why she was so surprised albeit pleasantly. She learned something new about the man everyday, no matter how small it be.

The smile lasted briefly because that feeling in the pit of her stomach was still there. How much longer would she know him so intimately? How long before he called it quits with her? She chewed on her bottom lip because she was worried. Truthfully, barely able to admit it to herself, Daniel made her feel like she was ready. She wanted to give her gift to him. The only thing that really concerned her was that her body wasn't toned and fit like the girls he was used to. She had a little tummy and she sure as hell had more ass then any of those models he dated.

She was terrified that he wouldn't find her attractive. Sometimes she would find herself staring at him just in amazement that she was with the handsome man across from her and puzzled as to why he was with her. But she didn't voice those concerns… because Daniel knew those all too well. She didn't voice the fear of her body image either because she was sure that Daniel would try to reassure even if he wasn't attracted to her to ease the fear in her.

She didn't want to be pitied or someone to be with her out of obligation or for fear of hurting her. She wanted that soul encompassing love that people found once in a lifetime, sometimes never. She was almost positive that Daniel was her one…but was she his one? Was it even possible that he could be her one and she not be his. Or she not be his and he be hers?

Betty shook her head confusing herself. If she was ready but was only scared of the way Daniel would see her what better way to take hold of her fears then by….Before her brain could process it fully she was unbuttoning her shirt and pulling her skirt down quickly. She pushed past the cracked door. Daniel must have heard her because he started speaking, even though he sounded a little muddled because he was washing his hair. His eyes were closed so he didn't know that was betty was naked.

" So, Betty, what did you want to do today?"

Betty's heart was beating fast and she could barely get her mind to slow down enough to think or answer his question. She shrugged as if he could see her.

" What did you have in mind?" she asked inching closer to the ample sized bathtub/shower.

" I don't care as long as it's with you and there's lots of chocolate." She smiled because Daniel was the only guy she knew that was in love with chocolate.

"Hey can you hand me my towel. I'm about to get out." That took the wind out of Betty's sails and she seemed to loose the boldness she had only minutes ago.

" Okay sure…one second " she said her voice was only slightly deterred but Daniel didn't catch it because he didn't know to look for it. She quickly picked up her shirt and skirt from the floor, putting them back on. Then she quickly gave Daniel his towel and headed for the door for a hasty exit.

"Thanks" Betty heard over her shoulder but she couldn't stop feeling stupid and embarrassed even though Daniel was non the wiser about what she had planned to do. She couldn't stop beating herself up about it. She figured she should probably be glad that Daniel had unknowingly foiled her plan because she probably would have humiliated herself anyway.

She laid across the bed closing her eyes, her nostrils were filled with the scent of Daniel. Why was this so hard?! It was suppose to easier than this when it was right…right?!
Moments later Daniel came into the room wrapped in a towel, his body still sporting droplets of water on his chest and legs. Betty made a sincere effort not to look.

" Guess I should leave." Betty mumbled flushed.

" I mean you can stay if you like" Daniel had the naughty smile on his lips like he was almost baiting her.

"No...No . I was always taught privacy is important…very important." Betty sounded comical to Daniel's ears but he let her leave without further debate.

When Betty scurried out of his room he felt a little bad because she really shouldn't tease her about anything physical or even allude to the fact. She would come to him when she was ready or so he hoped and prayed. He was a guy after all and trying to deny the fact that he was physically attracted to her was bogus. He just wouldn't flaunt it in her face like he some times had the urge to do.

Daniel had on his pants and in the middle of buttoning his shirt when he heard a knock at his door.

" Hey Daniel would it be okay if I showered here and just changed when I got home...but then.." There was a pause…Daniel assumed Betty was thinking. " I don't have any underwear or clothes here."

"You could always just shower here and change there. You know it doesn't matter to me." Daniel said as he finished buttoning his shirt and walking toward the door top let her in.

" I think I'll just take a shower at home because I really don't like the idea of taking a shower and putting back on dirty clothes." The door swung open and Betty walked through the open door confused at what Daniel was doing.

Daniel was throwing socks on the bed from an open dresser drawer. When he cleaned out the last sock he spoke.

" This drawer is all yours if you want it. You can put clothes, underwear, anything you want in here if you want."

Betty was aghast at the sentiment but it also confused her. Daniel's recent behavior had her believing that he was ready to call things quit between the two of them. Now she didn't know what to think.

She wasn't sure what to say so she uttered "But will you do with your socks?" Betty knew it was a dumb question. Daniel just winked and grabbed the bundle of socks and put them at the top of his closet in the corner. It wasn't best spot but it would do for now.

" Aww I get a whole drawer. You're sweetie you know that?" She wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him briefly.

" Not as sweet as you." Daniel replied wrapping his arms around her waist, he couldn't help but think that they fit perfectly.
