Bea frowned as she focused her energy on sweeping the front steps. She sighed. 179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPA7FKidDB
"I hate sweeping." She muttered as a sudden gust of wind blew the beret she was wearing off her head. The beret landed gracefully on the ground, at the feet of an unfamiliar yellow crayon. Bea watched as the crayon picked up the hat, looking up at her with curious eyes. 179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMTnIcUvMW
"Hey Bea, are you done with sweeping?" Scarlet, a red crayon, poked her head out of the front door. She looked at the yellow crayon and beamed. "Dandelion!" Bea watched as Scarlet ran at the other crayon, hugging him tightly. Dan D chuckled, hugging her back. 179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JKshZHqvx
"Hey Scar, what's up?" He glanced at Bea as she came down the front steps. "Who's that?" Dan D asked, pointing at Bea. Scarlet grinned, letting go of Dandelion, and pushing Bea towards him. "Dandelion, this is Bluetiful," Scarlet said, watching as Dan D extended a hand for Bea to shake. She smiled at Bea and Dandelion and walked back inside to tell the others of Dandelion's arrival. 179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPRmtJfcix
"I'll leave you two to get to know each other!" Scarlet shouted over her shoulder. Bea glanced at Dandelion, who met her gaze. She looked away, feeling her cheeks heat up. 179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4B9sb7K4Ue
"Hey, Bluetiful," She looked at him again, seeing her beret in his hand. "You dropped this." He said, and she took her beret from him. 179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65N40vKsXp
"So, you're Dandelion," Bea began, and Dandelion nodded. "You're the one who I replaced. The retiree, right?" He nodded again. Just then, someone shouted his name. 179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dJEDCD61J
"Dandelion! Welcome back!" Bea turned to see Denim running up to Dandelion, skidding to a stop in front of him. He held out his hand, and Dandelion shook it. "How's retirement been man?" Denim asked excitedly. "Wanna shoot some hoops? It'll be like old times!" Dandelion grinned at Denim. 179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXilXJqKiL
"Sure, let's go shoot hoops, for old time's sake." Bea watched Dandelion go off with Denim and some other boys, a strange, giddy feeling taking hold of her.
"I'm going to ask Dandelion if he wants to hang out, just he and I," Bea said to Scarlet. The two girls were sitting on the bleachers, watching Dandelion and the other boys play basketball. Bea tried to watch the other players, but her gaze kept straying to Dandelion's face. He played confidently, passing the ball to his other teammates, and skillfully evading the opposite team. Scarlet gave Bea a knowing look. 179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpS9OTnIfR
"You're going to ask him out, aren't you?" Bea shook her head at this, her cheeks a dark blue. "It's not like that Scarlet. I hardly know him, for Pete's sake. Besides, I don't think he'd want to be with me that way, after I replaced him, and took his job." She muttered, but Scarlet was hearing none of it. She stood up, grabbed Bea's hands, and led her over to where Dandelion was standing by the bleachers. 179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIjZUfF5yj
"Go on Bea! You got this." Scarlet said, giving Bea a push forward. Bea glanced back at Scarlet, who gave her a thumbs-up, and Bea gulped. She cleared her throat, and Dandelion turned to look at her, his towel around his neck. He grinned. 179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRa7fepwMSa
"Hey, Bluetiful. What's up?" Bea looked past him, seeing Scarlet, who mouthed the words, "Let's hang out." Bea inhaled. 179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6JeyrM5uq
"Dandelion, I was wondering if you wanted to go out and grab a bite later, just the two of us," She said quickly, watching as Scarlet gave her a thumbs-up. Dandelion blinked and then nodded.179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0LYq7snaQ
"Sure! Does dinner sound good?" He asked, and Bea nodded. "And wine too, right?" She added, and Dandelion nodded. "So, it's settled," He whispered, leaning close to her. 179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLPDdNz0P0
"See you tonight, Bluetiful." He said sauntering off, a grin on his face.
Bea frowned as she glanced at the clock. "7:40. He'll be here any minute," She murmured, opening her wardrobe, with a sigh. "I better get ready." It didn't take her long to get ready. She had had an idea of what she was would wear, so it didn't take her long to get dressed. Bea was putting the finishing touches on her makeup when the doorbell rang. "Coming!" She ran to answer the door, throwing it open with a slight dramatic flair. "Oh!" She blinked and smiled. "Hey Dandelion," He smiled at her, looking very sharp in a gray dress shirt, black slacks, dress shoes, and a blue tie. "You look very nice." She said, and he smiled. 179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxm4H2Hvlhf
"You look very nice as well Bluetiful." He said, smiling at Bea's stylish black dress with yellow ribbon accents. 179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOKdQR2qGQ
"Uhm...well, thank you. And, uhm," She stammered, with a blush. "Everyone calls me Bea. You can call me Bea if you want to." He nodded, offering her his elbow, which she took. 179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6CUou1ddX
"Well Bea, you can call me Dan D." He told her, walking her to his car, and opening the door for her. She entered the car, and he entered the driver's seat. They drove to the restaurant.
Bea smiled as Dandelion laughed at a joke she had told. She took a sip of water, a dreamy smile on her face. Dandelion was drinking wine. He had told her that "wine makes a date more romantic." He had offered to pour her a glass, but she had refused, opting to drink water. 179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ260o4m5C7U
"Someone's got to drive." She had replied, and he had nodded. Dandelion watched Bea as she checked her watch. "Wow, it's late. Come on Dandelion, we should go." She said, and he had nodded, calling the waiter and paying the bill. Then, they left the restaurant.
As they pulled up to Bea's driveway, Bea, feeling strangely giddy, leaned over and kissed Dandelion on the cheek. He turned to face her, blushing. They stared at each other, and then embraced tightly, kissing passionately. Their tongues battled fiercely, like two mythical beasts. Bea could feel the wine Dandelion had drunk, a soft and almost cool sensation, contrasting sharply with the savage heat of his mouth and body as she held him. She broke away from him, both of them panting heavily. 179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoeCXFdujRB
"Wait, wait," She held up a hand to stop him from embracing her again. He gave her a puzzled look, lust smoldering in his eyes. 179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARx6RKa9Kv
"Why're we stopping? What's wrong?" Bea sighed, gesturing to the car's interior. 179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaheKYJkWza
"I don't want to ruin the upholstery. And besides," She smirked, giving him a small kiss on the cheek. "I want my first time to be in my bed." Dandelion nodded, leaving the car, and walking around to her side, and picking her up.
For once, Bea was grateful for the abundance of pillows she had bought on a shopping splurge with Scarlet and Jazzberry. They drowned out the moans she and Dandelion were making. The act itself was not fast-paced, but slow and passionate, making the climax all the more deserved. 179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYl2d0jiGC
"That...was...nice," Bea gasped out, rolling off of Dandelion, who was panting heavily. He sat up, watching Bea as she pulled on a t-shirt. "I'm going to make a phone call, I'll be right back." She said, giving Dandelion a peck on the cheek. He watched Bea leave the room, and she closed the door behind her.
"So, how was the date?" Scarlet asked, her voice clear on the phone as she talked to Bea. 179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfZw1g0cYk
"It was great! And we did something else afterward..." Bea replied, wincing as Scarlet gave a high-pitched squeal. 179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwvjp3qLky
"He took you to bed?!" She asked excitedly. Bea blushed. "Yeah, we did it." Scarlet gave another squeal and laughed. "So, are you two a thing, or what?" Bea smiled to herself. 179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbixQV1RjB
"Yeah, I guess we're a thing."
