A Blossom And A Snake.

Cheryl Get's Harassed By Chuck And Reggie.

The moment we arrived at Pop's Choklit Shoppe. Pops looked at us and smiled as he said, "One strawberry shake, cheeseburger with large fries and one chocolate shake and double cheeseburger, large cheese fries and a salad to share."
"Thanks Pops." I smiled. He nodded and we headed to the third booth to our left.
Cheryl lead the way. "Hey, guys." Veronica greeted us.
"Hey." Cheryl and I replied in unison.
"Care to join us?" Archie asked.
"Better you then the Blossom Family Vultures at the winter lodge." I said. Betty and Jugghead slid over and Archie moved to the other side of the booth and sat next to Jugghead leaving Veronica to slide to the window and Cheryl to slid in next to her and I slid into the last open spot of the booth. "Where's Kevin?"
"He's helping his dad with cleaning the garage today." Betty said.
"Sounds exhausting." I joked and Cheryl lightly slapped my arm.
"And here you go." Pops put down our strawberry and chocolate shakes and smiled at us. "Your food will be ready momentarily."
"Thanks again Pops." I smiled. He walked away.
"Want a taste Dannykins?"
"Hmm. Wouldn't hurt." I tasted her strawberry shake and smiled. "That is perfect. Just like you." I smiled. "Care to taste?" I asked sliding my chocolate shake towards her. She did.
"Delicious Dannykins."
"Wow. Are you two seriously flirting?" Veronica asked with a smile on her face.
"Actually, me and Dannykins are going to prom together." Cheryl smiled at me. "And we also have a secret we want to tell you guys." She started then looked at me as everyone looked at us.
"We've been talking about it and since we've been getting close over the past few weeks and couple months. We have decided to be an item. Although for now at Cheryl's request a secret item." I slid my left hand into her right and held it up to my lips and gently kissed it.
"Well, you make a cute couple. Oh, my god I said something nice about Cheryl." Veronica said.
"I'll withhold the holy water shower." Cheryl smiled.
"Betty. I hope you don't write word one of this in your diary. The last thing I need or me and Cheryl need is Alice exposing our secret to Penelope. But the funny thing is. Is even if she does find out. There's very little she can do since my contract is with Cheryl and Nana Rose. But better safe than sorry."
"I won't mention it in my diary. I promise." Betty told us.
"Okay." I nodded.
"Well, congratulations regardless. Especially to you Cheryl. You deserve to be happy." Jugghead smiled.
"Thanks Jugghead." Cheryl smiled.
"Here you go." Pops said putting down my double cheeseburger and cheese fries and Cheryl's cheeseburger and fries. Pops then turned around and back and put down the salad. "Enjoy." He walked away and Cheryl and I nodded.

Throughout the rest of the day me and Cheryl polished off our food at Pops and went on a long walk to burn off or help us digest the food before the banquet.

When we got back to the winter lodge, we prepped for the banquet. Before I headed downstairs I walked to Cheryl's room. I knocked and slowly opened the door and entered. "Cheryl, you ready." I turned my head to close the door and once I looked back towards her walk in closet. I was floored. "Okay, yeah. You are most certainly ready." She was wearing a red and black striped dress that looked more like swirls really.
"And you are looking rather dashing and handsome in that suit of yours." Cheryl smiled. I approached her. "Like what you see?"
"Would you slap me if I said that if we weren't a secret couple I'd take you here and now and show you how much I like what I see?"
"I wouldn't slap you. I would kiss you." She grinned.
"Well this will have to do for now." I kissed her and held her waist.
"Your kisses get better every time, Dannykins."
"Thank you. I love you Cheryl."
"I love you too, Dannykins." We kissed once more before we headed downstairs. Cheryl and I sat together at the dinner table and just kept to ourselves unles talked to by the other members of the Blossom Family.
Once dinner was done Cheryl and I went out by the pool and sat in the lounge chairs. "That was less painful than I expected." I said making Cheryl grin.
"Cheryl." Penelope said.
"Although I could be wrong." We stood up and walked over to Penelope. "You bellowed."
"Watch your..."
"Watch my what? Mouth? I've seen how you treat Cheryl, Nana Rose and be quite honest I'm sick of it. I've held my tongue for this long for Cheryl's sake. If your family does anything to hurt Cheryl or Nana Rose. I hope that they have their affairs in order. Because I, promise you. They will watch their lives burn to nothing but ash." Penelope swallowed hard. "So what you will do. Is let Cheryl live her life her way. You will leave Nana Rose alone. And if I feel you threaten or yell or even raise a hand to Cheryl." I slowly walked close to Penelope until we were nose to nose. "I will filet what's left of your perfect skin and have you eat it. Clear?"
"Yes." She shakily replied with fear dripping from every word by the gallon.
"Oh, and if you get the authorities involved or do anything to derail your future in hell. You'll find it to be harder than it looks." Cheryl smiled as her mother tried to regain her composure but failed at every turn.
"And by the way mommy. Daniel and I are going to prom together." Cheryl told her. The mere coldness in her words made me grin like the joker. But what made my night was that she added. "And from now on. Daniel will be sleeping in my room." Penelope looked at me and noticed that I had fire in my eyes that would engulf her and her family if she did even one thing to hurt Cheryl or Nana Rose.
'Everything burns, everyone screams, burning their lives, burning their dreams...' I sang as a reminder of my threat or promise rather to Penelope.
"That was great Dannykins." Cheryl smiled as she leaned up and kissed me as we went to my room to get some clothes for the night then headed to her room to change out of the dress and suit from the banquet. While we changed I could feel her sneak a few peeks at me and I snuck a few of her. "You know that there's no need to hide our relationship anymore Dannykins. You can look and more if you want." Cheryl smiled as she wrapped a towel around her body.
"Believe me. I want to do more than just look. But I would like to wait until your prom."
"Well, as much as I find your honesty refreshing and endearing. I propose something."
"And that is?" I asked as I approached her and wrapping my arms around her.
"We go on a date this Friday night and if it goes well, you and I have some fun."
"And if it goes bad?"
"We keep to your idea and do more than look on prom night."
"Deal." I kissed her.
"I always get what I want." She joked. I smiled and giggled in reply.
"Well, don't get used to it Cheryl."
"I know."
I picked her up in my arms and carried her to bed and laid her down gently onto the bed and I laid next to her. "Goodnight my Blossom."
"Goodnight Dannykins." She turned her body and turned off the light through a switch near the bed and returned to face me and we cuddled close together of course I was wearing boxers and she wasn't wearing anything but a blanket and me.
