[[cont. from the beach thread and fast-forward past the sex-stuff]]
Dan sat against a large tree on the moss, Bp in his arms. He hadn't bothered with taking off their clothes, rather he'd felt like taking off as little as possible. One needed some change every now and then, after all. So now he sat there with as much clothes on as he had had before they had begun, though he hadn't bothered to button up his jeans yet. He held one arm round the girl, her head on his chest, and his other hand was resting on his bent knee while the other foot lay straightened out.
He was thoughtful. He had been quite happy to see Bp, and what they had just done had felt great. But his mind went back to the dinner from the previous night. To what Teddy had said about Bp. That the girl didn't do commitment. Well, Dan couldn't really blame her. After all, he didn't do it much himself. He couldn't even keep count of all the girls he had had. How many? At least a dozen. He hadn't been a virgin since his 16th birthday.
So what was he to preach to Teddy and Sweetheart? He supposed it was different in his mind for his sister. She was supposed to be pure. And he knew well enough what would happen if their parents ever found out she slept with men before being married. He was pretty sure his father guessed already about Dan himself. But Sweetheart was different. She was a girl. It was funny that way.
He realised if he took Bp home to meet his parents, it'd cause a racket. Tin was bound to know he'd slept with her already. That meant she was tainted. She could never make a wife, or it would be a hell of a fight.
But then, was that what Dan wanted, anyway? He wasn't sure. He liked Bp a lot. But enough to marry? That was jumping the gun. Dan didn't even know what he was eventually going to do with himself. He was still fighting the wind about what he should do with his life.
The silence had lingered between them for a long time before Dan got to opening his mouth.
"Where are we?" he asked, leaning his chin on Bp's head.

The silence didn't bother Bp. She had actually begun to fall asleep when the sound of Dan's voice woke her.
"Hm?" She looked up at him and smiled. "Oh, we're about twenty feet from the beach. I can still hear everyone talking and laughing." She looked back down, letting her head rest on Dan once again. It was obvious she knew what the man had really meant, but she wasn't going to cooperate just yet.

Dan frowned, the implication that the girl knew what he was talking about going right past him. He wasn't the most perceptive of people, even if he did have his moments. He shifted his position a bit uncomfortably, considering if he should leave it at that. But... her evasive action had triggered a desire to know.
"No... I meant... us, as in, you and me, you know," he said a bit awkwardly. "Where are... we? Is there... us? I mean..." He cut himself off there, deciding he was beginning to stumble too much.

Bp mentally cursed. She really hadn't thought Dan was the monogamous type. And yet, here she was, in the same position she always tried to avoid.
Sitting up, she turned to face Dan. "Look, Dan..." She licked her lips and shook her head. "I'm not the monogamous type, and in all honesty... I didn't think you were either."

Dan studied Bp's face as she spoke. While doing so he studied himself. Where did he think they were? He honestly did not know.
Then a bit of a smile curved his lips. There was one thing he knew.
"I'm not sure if I am, yet," he said on a less serious tone. Then he chuckled. "I guess... I had to wonder. I think we're having fun like this. I like you. I guess you like me. But you know, I'm used to the girls wanting to go steady." He winked, then grew more serious. "The real reason I ask is that... Teddy had dinner with my folks yesterday. With Sweetheart. And somehow, you and I came up. I hadn't meant to say anything, but you know how Sweetheart is. It's hard for her not to blurt out the truth, I guess. So she mentioned you. And..." He scratched the back of his head a bit awkwardly. "The thing is, my parents want to meet you. I think."

A smile spread across the girl's lips as Dan spoke. He wasn't pushing the issue, which made her happy. Plus, his parents wanted to meet her.
"Really?" Bp had to admit that she was a little shocked. From what she had heard, she didn't think that the Rosaccis would want to meet a girl like her. "I think that would be.... fun." She smirked. "I can act like an angel, if that's what you're wondering."

Dan smiled a bit as he looked at Bp.
"I'm not so sure if they'll be fooled." Then he was more serious again. "No, I don't know if it's a good idea. Because of me more than you. Mom tends to think if I bring over a girl I'm going to marry her. And dad... well, let's say he's aware of my adventures with girls. I'm sure he'll know... what we've been doing. And I'm sure he won't like it." He shifted his feet a bit uncomfortably, looking down. "I guess... I don't know if I want to put you into that position."

"Ah." Bp nodded. She wasn't disappointed in Dan's reaction, or words. Things were better this way. "You have a point."
She smirked. "I'd probably leave your parents scarred for life."

Dan chuckled. He rather liked Bp's sense of humour. He crossed his legs in front of him, reached out and put his arms tight around her. Then he pulled her into his arms, against his chest, and kissed her on the forehead. He was happy that they were getting along so well. Even if he was, deep inside, a little worried. Was it wise to go on with her like this? What if he got attached? But he firmly pushed those thoughts away from his mind.
"You're the strangest girl I've met in my life," he said. "Usually girls are... clingy." He grinned. "Don't get me wrong. I'm not complaining."

Bp smirked. "Thank you." To here, that truly was a compliment. She hated the way most girls felt toward relationships. As Dan had said, they were just too clingy. Then again, so were some men.
As Bp sat in Dan's arms, she didn't have a worry in the world. At least none that she was willing to think about at the moment. But those were usual worries, such as the rent payment, work, if the dogs needed a walk, what the hell Teddy was getting himself into out there, etc. Just boring, normal thoughts.

Truth be told, Dan was rather amazed that everything was going so smoothly. There had to be a brier bush somewhere just waiting to pop into his way. Everything couldn't go so well. They never did for him.
But he didn't want to think about that. Yes, everything was going smoothly now. He wanted to just enjoy that.
"Well, now that that's settled..." He leaned his head against her. "Should we go back to the others?"

Bp looked up at Dan and smiled. Things were always like this for her. Except for one time, but she really didn't want to think about that now.
"I suppose so." With that being said, she crawled of off Dan's lap and stood. An arm stretched out to the man, offering to help him up.

Dan had to smile when Bp offered to help him up. He would've just as easily pulled her back down. But he took her hand anyway, though he drew himself up with his own strength. He picked up the leather jacket - the only garment he had actually taken off - and threw it over his shoulder. Then he wrapped an arm round Bp's waist and started to walk with her leisurely toward the beach.
"You know, this whole Teddy and Sweetheart thing..." he started, his thoughts going back to his sister. Sometimes he was more worried over his sister's relationships than his own. "You know him better than I do. Is he serious with it?"

Bp smiled as she and Dan began to walk out. Teddy hadn't been on her, until Sweetheart's brother brought him up.
"Are you serious?" She had to laugh a little. "Here, let me say it like this..." She stopped walking and turned to Dan. "If Teddy were Romeo, your sister would be his Juliet. He would do anything for her, and he's always felt that way. In all his life, Sweetheart has been the only girl he's been in love with. Not to mention the fact that he still is." She smiled softly. "And you trust my word. I take pride in knowing Teddy better than anyone."

Dan examined Bp closely as she spoke, trying to detect any signs of jealousy. He couldn't see any. He supposed he should have been happy about it - and happy about the information she was giving him - but somehow, he couldn't quite let go of his suspicions. Perhaps it came from having bad secrets of his own. He felt so guilty he tended to suspect everyone else as well.
He tried to keep those kind of thoughts away from his mind as he smiled a bit to Bp's explanation.
"Romeo and Juliet, huh?" He grimaced. "Considering how they ended up, I don't know if I'm too happy with that comparison."
