BR Day 14 - Date night

Tiff doesn’t have much to say to the team. She’s insisting that you do some light practice every day, just so all semblance of order doesn’t go away during this unexpected break. You have no problem with that. Every day the team will do some cardio, some yoga, and run some drills. No big deal. The rest of your time will be your own. Everyone seems cool with it except Lara, who obviously hoped to jet off to somewhere and be back by Monday. Not your problem. You leave that to Tiff and go to get ready for your date.

As you make your plan, you think about how far you’ve come. From those first weird, awkward encounters with Beth to being a couple but still being nervous… you aren’t nervous anymore. You want to get dressed up and make this date great, but not because you’re scared of underperforming somehow. You just want to do it because you like her and it’s fun. It’s not that you feel obligated to make an effort, but she’ll appreciate it. Just like you appreciate it when she does.

So you jazz it up a little tonight. You catch a ride into the city to shop and prepare. At the department store, you decide to make a change. After all, you and Beth are a couple. You’re the taller one… and the one with the penis. Instead of a cute dress, you buy yourself a different kind of outfit: a pair of slacks and a light, but dressy top. It’s not exactly manly, but it’s more cool than pretty. You go to a salon and have your hair done up as though you have a job interview. Once that’s done, you don’t even recognize yourself. Whether Beth likes this style or not… she’ll get a kick out of the transformation.

Setting romance aside, you just can’t wait to have a night away from everyone. The camp just… has a certain feel. Maybe it’s having other girls around all the time, or maybe it’s the cameras. But some quiet is what you really want.

Beth got you a reservation at an extremely fancy restaurant. That demonstrates the difference between the two of you. Your idea of a nice restaurant vs hers… you have a lot to learn. It’s at the top of a building downtown, a place where people act fancy and it’s very quiet—which is what you wanted—and you have to figure out which fork to use.

But your plan worked. She stares in disbelief as you approach the table. Beth stands up, and of course, she’s wearing what looks best on her: a short, fitted orange dress with a belt around the waist. It is mind-blowingly cute.

“Hiya,” she says quietly as she walks up to you. “I’m Beth. Who are you?”

“Don’t make it weird,” you say, kissing her lightly on the lips.

“Where’d you get these clothes?” she asks. “Black Widow’s wardrobe?”

“Hush,” you say, embarrassed as you sit down with her. She’s glowing.

You are so lucky. You don’t see how things can possibly be better.
