Scarlet could sense the awkward tension brewing and so she did the one thing she knew best. She laughed.
A small smiled formed on Daniels face as the infectiousness of her laugh consumed him.
"God, that was so awkward, but not as awkward as getting by mom and dad in high school." she continued in hysteria.
"I do not think anything can top that." he agreed.
10 years earlier
" Shhh. or you're going to get us caught dumbass:' Scarlet hissed as the clumsily made their way through the garden.
"Lighten up jazzy... it's not like your parents don't already know where you are."
If she could kill him she would, but she couldn't. This all started with a party, a beer and a fight. Dam Daniel for never knowing when or how to walk away. She didn't even understand what his deal was, one minute she was dancing with Tom and the next Daniel was murdering him. This resulted in the cops being called, them having to hitch hick back to her house and now sneak through the garden so that Scarlets parents won't ask questions about dummy Danny's busted lip or scarlets intoxication.
"Why did you even punch Tom Dede! WTF!" she threw her hands up in exasperation. She could never really understand what his obsession was with ruining her chances with anything that had a pulse and a penis.
"Didn't you see he was freaking dry humping you?" He spat out causing her to flinch.
"Gosh, at this rate I will never get a good Fu.."
Her statement was cut off by the brisk hands of Daniel pulling her to him. Daniel had heard enough, he could not listen to her shit anymore.
"Daniel what the hE-!"
His lips came crashing down on hers like a tidal wave crashing into the shore. It made her insides tingle and her mind float. He needed her like lungs need oxygen and he had all intentions of breathing her in.
They stumbled through the kitchen with feverish desire. He pressed her against the counter as he ran kisses down her neck. Scarlet felt like her body was on fire with every kiss, every tough burning hotter than the last.
Her hands ravished his body, tugging and pulling at his shirt to get it off. She wasn't sure if it was the alcohol or the fact that she had dreamed this moment for years but the feeling was intoxication.
Daniel couldn't contain himself anymore he had watched her all night being carefree, working the room like she always did, effortlessly. That was when Tom decided he wanted to have dry sex on the dance floor. he hadn't intended to hit him, he wasn't even her boyfriend for God's sake! The next thing he remembers was blood sirens and a frantic Scarlet screaming run.
Thankfully, Evans house was only a few blocks away so they walked much to Scarlets drunken dismay as she tried endlessly to hitch a ride.
Didn't she watch all those lifetime movies he thought? Isn't that how it always begins? Then the next thing you know it, we are the poster children for unsolved mysteries!
Now, however with her pressed up on the counter with her dress hiked up and legs wrapped around his waist Daniel was never more grateful for hitting a man in his life. Thank you Tom!
*DANIELS POV*
I brushed my fingers inside her top, the feeling of lace sending a shiver down my spine. When the tips got to the rim and came in contact with velvet skin I almost came undone. Slowly I slid my fingers under the material until I felt it. Her nipples were pert and perfect. Hardened with desire, I felt myself come to full attention and throb begging to be set free. As if a mind reader Scarlet slid her hand inside my pants letting out a light moan as her hands came in contact with my manhood.
My breath came out ragged as she began to caress it, running her fingers against every grove, every inch. I gathered her up in my arms while planting fiery kisses on her breast, taking her nipple into my mouth using my tongue to caress it. She moaned but this time it was my name.
"Daniel, Oh...." I caught her lip with my own, silencing her with my tongue because if she didn't stop, I wouldn't make it to her room. After an eternity her door came into view. She still hadn't realized that we were making our way to her lair. To the place where I would capture her at long last and make her mine. The thought of it sending me over the edge. When we got inside and I tossed her on the bed.
Her giggle was like music to my ears.
"Shhhh Jazzy, or do you want us to get ca-"
The door suddenly flung open and in came Mr. & Mrs. Hart.
***Flashback Ends****
Scarlet was still laughing at the memory, they had to stop speaking for a week so Scarlet could ensure her parents that they were not "doing the hanky panky."
Mr. Hart almost broke Daniels arm, while on the phone with his best friend (Daniels Dad)
"You remember how red you turned when dad told your dad if he didn't come get you he'd cut your one eye'd snake off!" She continued to laugh.
Wincing Daniel unconsciously held his crotch. Thank god his soldiers could still march.
"Not funny jazzy, because if I remember correctly your mother started cursing about "Jesus Christo." he laughed.
How could Daniel forget about the day he had almost taken her virginity. They had danced around it for years. That night Daniel clouded by jealousy and desire had lost control and acted on emotions he tried to suppress. What he hadn't anticipated was the way Scarlet responded. They may have both been tipsy, but he knew desire and that night he knew that she felt it to her core.
"Earth to Mr. one eyed snake" She napped her fingers breaking his concentration.
"I'm not sure he heard you, maybe if you ..." He gestured to his lap.
"Not even .....dream on little guy" she patted his crotch.
This was the strange dynamic their friendship held. They had connected on a level that could only be comprehended by each other. Most called her crazy for befriending the playboy with devilishly good looks but what most didn't know was the secrets they shared, the lies they covered and the one thing that bounded them forever.
"So how are you going to break the news?"
"Well therein lies the problem my friend, I know this is great but you know how the older ones will react." she sighed.
"Listen, I happen to own the biggest chain of boutique hotels on the east coast, I had a board meeting this morning and it went okay,"
He placed a hand under her chin forcing their eyes to connect, "You're going to be okay."
She nodded, "God Dede! When did you become such a softy?" she teased brushing shoulders with him gently.
"When you walked out of that car in third grade and right into my heart."
This was what he wanted tosay but couldn't so he settled for a smile instead.
