Old, But Not That Old [Motough]

17. questions [derek]

"It's really coming down out there," I tell Beth as I look out the window. "You might wanna wait a bit until you drive back."

She checks her phone. "Yeah, but I don't want it to be too late when I leave. I hate driving at night."

I bite my lip and my heart races as I prepare to utter my suggestion. "You could... stay here for the night."

Beth turns to me, and after a pause, she speaks. "Really?"

I nod. "Well, yeah... If you wanna."

"Um..." she sighs, and I watch as she debates with herself. "Sure," she finally says, with a smile, and I find myself grinning uncontrollably.

My phone is still playing the "Bethany" playlist, and suddenly "Black Widow" comes on and Beth gasps excitedly.

"Awww, this dance, man... So good."

I laugh as she begins dancing, and starts to do the choreography from our team dance on Halloween week. I join her and she smiles, wide. We go through our part of the dance, giggling, and faking intensity. Beth tries to put on a serious face, like we had in the performance, but we both end up bursting into laughter, and it's amazing. As Janel and Val's part comes, Beth and I make up our own choreography, suddenly getting more intense and staying that way. I feel my heart race as the sexual tension rises when I pull her close to me and we begin dancing as one. I can't help but pull her in and kiss her. Beth laughs and digs her hands into my hair before pullling away, stepping aside, and doing the next part of our choreography, looking at me flirtatiously. I chuckle and roll my eyes before stepping behind her and finishing the dance.

We are both breathing deeply when the song ends, and she leans in to kiss me. As she pulls away, she looks at me.

"So I'm gonna need to borrow some clothes, because I am not sleeping in this dress," Beth says, in almost a whisper.

"Of course, beautiful." I stand up, walking to my dresser. "Julianne left some clothes here last time she visited so I'm sure she wouldn't mind you borrowing them. They'd orobably be more comfortable than my baggy shorts."

I reach in my drawer and grab some shorts my sister left, and toss them to Beth.

"Thank you," she chirps, with a cheesy smile.

I dig for a shirt that I thought Julianne left, and can't seem to find it. Instead I get a t-shirt of mine and walk back over to Beth.

"Well looks like you might have to wear one of my shirts," I tell Bethany, holding it out for her.

She grabs it with a smile. "That is perfectly fine."

I tell Beth she can change in my bathroom and watch as she walks away, giving me one last smile before closing the bathroom door behind her.

Although I normally sleep in only boxers, I don't wanna make Beth feel too uncomfortable, so I change into boxers and a t-shirt, just to be safe.

I collapse onto my bed, turning the tv on, and flipping through the channels as I wait for Beth.

When she steps out of the bathroom, I find the corners of my mouth turning up in a smile. She looks adorable in my t-shirt.

She shyly walks over to my bed, with a small smile, and sits next to me.

I lean over, wrap my arm around her waist, and gently pull her closer to me. Letting out a small laugh, she gets comfortable, lying down with my arm around her shoulders.

"Wanna watch a movie?" I ask, flipping through the channels.

"Doesn't matter," she says, leaning her head on my shoulder.
