Devotion And Fidelity

Danny was no stranger to sexual dalliances and flings. Those sorts of things happened at his club often. It was a place for such meetings, after all. But that did not mean that he will indulge in such things when he had made up his mind to tie himself to one woman and one woman only. Still, he expected for such women to come up to him for some extra fun.

"No,"

How many times had he rejected these offers that night?

Must be because it was Valentine and people didn't want to spend the night alone. But this particular specimen seemed determined. He might indulge before Elsa, but not now. He pointed at his finger and the engagement ring there. He only take it off when he had to go for an extended period of time chasing his enemies and didn't want those pest to learn that he have someone should something happen to his gloves. Fortunately, his special bracelet tattoo can be hidden because of the special ink used by Johnny.

The girl, some floozy with some rainbow hair, maybe a wig, insisted, "Oh, come on? Are you even looking at me? Look," She showed off her body, twirling like a drunk ballerina before him, "Do you see me? All this? You don't want me?"

Danny patiently wiped the glass in his hand, "No,"

She giggled, "Oh. I love when men play it hard to get,"

He sighed as he attended to a different customer. In the corner of his eyes, he can see the woman and her friends hyping each other to get into his pants. The downside of being hung was that he can never really hide himself. Hoping that they'll be bored while he make some drinks, Danny focused on his job as the bartender. He would usually leave the dealing with customers to Dexter but Dora had begged him for one day with him so he relented. Besides, Elsa was caught up with her work and they had agreed to do their Valentine on a different day.

Who said being rich meant an infinity of free time?

He's busy too.

Much to his dismay, the drunk rainbow hair was still there, eyeing him like a piece of meat. He was used to such looks sent his way. But now that he have Elsa, he couldn't ignore such blatant harassment. He decided to confront the woman. She blushed, giggling like an idiot, thinking that he'll entertain her after all.

She purred, "I know you can't handle ignoring me for long,"

Danny raised a brow, "All I want to say is that I'm not a piece meat,"

She snorted, sipping on her drink, before eyeing him slowly, "Are you sure? I bet you have an Only Fans,"

Danny shook his head, "Nope. Not a media guy,"

Not the human's media, at least.

She leaned forward, all but showing her breast to his face, "Come on. Just one night. She is obviously with some other guy or gal," She licked her lips, "Besides, no one's loyal this day. Better to cheat first before you found that she cheat on you,"

Danny snorted, knowing that Elsa knew that anyone she even think about cheating on him with might find themselves being slow cooked in the molten core of the planet. Fortunately, unlike this floozy before him, Elsa have dignity and grace to respect him and be a devoted lover to him despite their busy lifestyle.

He said, "That kind of mindset is the reason you're alone on Valentine,"

She flushed red, obviously not liking what he said. She sniffed, "Mark my word. She's probably seeing someone behind your sexy ass,"

Danny smirked, leaning forward, invading her space. He let her think that she had him as her eyes sparkled with desire and she leaned close, lips pouting. Just as it seemed as if they would kiss, he shifted to the side. He leaned away from her lips to whisper in her ear instead, "Want to know something?"

She breathed, "What?"

"I don't sleep with animals with no self-respect or self-control,"

He pulled away to see her stricken look. She stared at him as if he just slapped her across the face. Danny smirked, smug at the reaction he pulled from her. He added, "That's the difference between you and my love. I have faith in her and in return, she have faith in me. I would never choose another beside her. And she know damn well that I will not stand for something as disrespectful as cheating. And before you said that I am controlling, let me ask you this?"

He leaned on the counter, looming over her, "Do I look like a boy with nothing but a big dick or do I look like a man that don't give a fuck?"

He pulled away from the furious and shamed woman. She quickly stood up, almost wobbling on her feet and flipped at him, "You know what? Fuck you! I bet that bitch of yours aren't all that shit, anyway!"

Danny picked up her unfinished drink and splashed her with it for the insult.

She screamed, causing the club to pause and looked at her. She snarled, "Where's the manager?!! I'm going to get your ugly ass fired!!"

Danny rolled his eyes, "Funny when you wanted this ugly ass 2 seconds ago,"

Meanwhile, Walker was right beside her, "You're screaming at the owner. Now scram,"

She started cursing, screaming and yelling how that club was stupid and boring and all that. Causing quite the scene. However, Danny's 'true' customers only booed at her and helped Walker chase her out. He returned to his work and watched as Tucker whistled, "Damn, Phantom. How many hearts your broke tonight?"

Danny shrugged, "Dunno. Don't care. There's only one heart I cared about,"

Two days later, he received news that Elsa's back in town and he quickly prepped up for a date. He knew that her schedule was clear for that day and decided to take her out for a dinner date. After arriving, he walked into the building her family owned and noticed a familiar face working as receptionist. Noticing the recognition on the woman's face and the ugly gleam of petty vengeance, he chose to wait for Elsa instead of letting the receptionist cause problem for him.

Then it was a stand off between him and the irritated receptionist.

She appeared around 20 minutes later and gasped, "Danny?!" A brilliant smile broke over her fatigued face, happy laughter in her words, "What are you doing here?"

She reached him and he pulled her in, making a show of kissing her deeply, surprising her. Pulling away, he handed her a red rose, "I would have given you a bouquet but...we have places to go,"

She blinked, "Aw...I'm sorry about Valentine,"

He grinned, "That's okay. But can I have tonight?"

Elsa blushed, "Sure..."

He had to remind himself to stick to the ground instead of floating away, "Good. Because I booked this one restaurant with a killer steak,"

Elsa laughed, "Anything on the menu for me?"

He put on a stupid look, "There's chicken salad...I guess?"

She lightly punched his arm, "You're too much!"

As they walked out of the building, he noticed the pale look on the receptionist's face. Well, she wasn't going to get away for insulting Elsa with just a splash of liquor.

Nope.

He'll make sure that Agnarr fire her flat ass.
