Bethany normally wasn't one for drinking but she knew that after her sister requested it she couldn't say no. Plus it wasn't always a bad thing to take a step out of your comfort zone. After a couple drinks though she could feel her mind getting cloudy but didn't try to worry too much since she knew her sister wouldn't let her do anything too embarrassing. She ran her hand through her wavy hair and fixed her short black dress that she wore to the party. Even though she didn't have a worry in the world at the moment she knew she was looking forward to seeing Jake at some point in the evening. She didn't know what it was about him but there was something different that she wanted to learn about.

Jake had a date earlier in the night with Olivia and when that winded down he ran home real quick and changed into a regular plain white t-shirt, his signature leather jacket, and a pair of Converse. Making his way to the party he said his proper hellos and started to get his drink on while socializing with other people. The whole time he had his eyes peeled for Bethany. After five shots and three mixed drinks later he finally found her and a huge smile crept onto his face. He walked up to her and gently put his hand on her waist wanting to let her know he had arrived but not wanting to scare her, "Hey, stranger."

Bethany felt a blush creep on her cheeks when she felt a hand go on her waist. She turned around to meet his eyes a sweet smile grew across her lips, she moved on of her hands to run down his arm, "Well hello there handsome." Normally she would be too shy to make any moves but with the shots in her she didn't have a worry in the world. "Now it is finally a party with the one and only Jake Puckerman here."

Jake chuckled as Bethany responded back to him but he took note she was a bit more bold this time around. "I would say you're wrong but then I'd be lying. So tell me gorgeous, how much have you had to drink tonight?"

Bethany smiled when she heard him chuckle then thought for a second trying to remember, "Well my sister wanted me to take birthday shots with her, so there was that and then a couple other drinks." She shrugged slightly, "My sister keep saying I need to get out of my shell so I thought why not give me sisters it as part of a birthday present too."

Jake nodded along as she explained herself, "Ah, so getting drunk for Lilly's birthday. Nice." Jake looked around and shrugged his shoulders, "Do you think you'd be able to handle another round? I feel like I should get you a drink and you should definitely take a shot or two with me."

Bethany "Well it was what she wanted for her birthday, so I thought why not?" She smiled and nodded at his offer. "For you? I think I will be able to do that. And we can't forget about that dance that I promised to keep for you."

Jake "Alright. Let's go." Jake grabbed Bethany by the hand and led her to the drinks. He poured two shot glasses for each of them and made a mixed drink for the both of them. "First we do tequila shots to start our evening and then I just made us Jake Puckerman's world famous Sex On the Beach." Handing one of the shot glasses to Bethany he took the other in his hand and raised it up, "Some may say it's a girly drink but if you make it right it's good for anyone and sex on the beach can be fun so why not have fun with the drink form?" Jake chuckled before going on, "We take this shot in honor of your sister's birthday and as a toast to us on this night. Whatever happens will be and I know i'll be thrilled because I'll get to spend the evening with you."

Bethany nodded, listening to his description of the drinks, "Sounds like an amazing combination to me." She accepted the glass and raised it up, "Hmm just imagine how amazing it could be to have both." She winked teasingly, part of her wondering where that came from and shrugged it off. She went ahead and nodded at the toast with a smile on her face. "To an amazing night with an even more amazing person." Bethany said after the toast and then took the shot. Feeling the drink move down her throat and feeling her brain and body relax. She sat down the drink and took a sip of the Sex On the Beach, "Now I can see why this is world famous."

Jake 's eyes widened a bit as Bethany made her slightly sexual comment. He wasn't going to say anything about it though. He downed the shot with ease and felt his body warm up once again. Putting the shot glass down he grabbed his cup and sipped from it tasting the familiar mix settle inside him. "I'm glad you like it. Now follow me." Jake walked out to the middle of the room where the music seemed to be the loudest. He waited for Bethany and took another sip before gently gripping her by the waist with his free hand and slowly started to move along to the beat. "You're gorgeous you know that?"

Bethany noticed his eyes widen and didn't think anything of it, normally she would be worrying about what she was saying or doing. Or making sure she was making the best impression possible but tonight all she was thinking about was how to have a good time. After taking another sip of the drink she followed him onto the dance floor. She moved her body to lightly touch his after his had gripped her waist. Not only was the drink making her body warm up but being close to him was giving her a new feeling also. A blush moved onto her cheeks at his complement, she rested her open hand on his chest, "Really, huh? Well I guess it does take another gorgeous and good looking person to know one."

Jake gently rested his forehead against hers as she complimented him back. "You're too kind." Jake then did a very dangerous thing he locked eyes with Bethany and he wasn't sure if it was the alcohol kicking in or what but he was instantly mesmerized by her. "Bethany...I hate that you're so beautiful." The words came out wrong so Jake quickly continued, "It's not a bad thing but... I don't know. Would you punch me in the face if I kissed you right now?"

Bethany smiled softly when he rested his forehead against hers, continuing to move with the music. The rest of the world seeming to disappear when he locked eyes with her. She raised an eyebrow at what he said, her hand moving from his chest to rest on his shoulder. "I would be crazy to punch you in the face for that. It would be a pleasure and very hard to say no too." She moved her hand to rest behind his neck, running her fingers lightly through his hair. "Who know I might even beat you to the chase if you take too long."

Jake was seeing a completely different side of Bethany and he definitely was not complaining about it whatsoever. "Oh, is that so?" Jake chuckled and with ease he leaned down and pressed his lips against hers. Fireworks; stomach churning fireworks felt like they were exploding all over as Jake kissed her. He almost lost his balance because he had never felt that before with someone when they kissed. Despite that he pulled her body against his deepening the kiss as he did so.

Bethany couldn't help but grin when he chuckled and then leaned in, when their lips pressed together she felt something amazing. Even though she had drinks inside of her she knew this was different. It is that feeling that people talk about in stories, this kiss was different then anything she has experienced in her life. She didn't know what to do with the feeling other than to enjoy it and treasure it because if this is like they explain it in the stories then who knows when this feeling will come again. When he moved her body against his felt more of the fireworks shoot through her. She let her hand move to his shoulder to bring him closer.

Jake didn't even care about dancing anymore, he didn't care about the drink in his hand, all he cared about was this moment here with Bethany. After what seemed like an eternity of bliss Jake finally pulled away and had a huge grin on his face. "Wow..that was.. wow."

Bethany rested her forehead against his after they pulled away and smiled. "That was amazing...." She parted from him and met his glance. "I don't think I have ever felt that before." All she wanted now was to be close with him, the rest of the world and even the party didn't matter any more. She moved her hand to rest on his cheek then move down to his chest. Not wanting to lose contact with him any time soon.

Jake just took her in. All of her. Jake had been with many people and he had felt different things with different people but he never felt something like this before. All his friends knew how to be in relationships and described this feeling but Jake never felt it before until now and that terrified him. Part of him wanted to run far away from her but his body wouldn't move. "You make me feel something Bethany. Something I've never really felt before and I don't really know..." Jake trailed off and crashed his lips into her once more deciding to let his actions do the talking.

Bethany had always been a hopeless romantic and some would think that would make her naive. But instead it let her know what her heart want and didn't want and even though she had been in many relationships before and a few serious ones this was different and unexpected. Unexpected in the best way possible and she hoped she could feel this again and not just after this evening. Before she could speak his lips crashed back into hers and she pressed her body against his. "Don't try to understand it, just let it be." She muttered against his lips. Not wanting him to worry about the feeling that was leaving them both curious. She would rather them just take the moment to enjoy it.

Jake just nodded along as she muttered against him and he kept the kiss going. At this point people probably saw what was going on but Jake didn't care. He just wanted to be in this moment with her but then he broke the kiss again. "I can't. I'm sorry." Jake took a moment to catch his breath, "I want to keep kissing you but I think I'm really starting to get into you and I can't...if we keep kissing I'm gonna want to do more and I'm not gonna do that to you."

Bethany looked up at him when they parted, letting her fingers trace shapes on his chest. She nodded at what he said and looked down for a moment then back up at him. "No need to be sorry," she took a second to catch her breath too, the room and the people in it still nonexistent in her mind. "I understand and...and I feel the same way. But we can't let that ruin the fun we could have." She said hoping that this didn't ruin the evening they could have.

Jake knew she was right. Deep down he knew she was completely right but he just couldn't do this to her. He wanted to take her out on a second date but feeling that way it was too much. Jake didn't do feelings and he saw himself doing just that with her. "Bethany...I...I think you are an amazing girl but..I'm no good for you and we can't." Jake felt like a total asshole but he had to do what was best for her. "I'm not the kind of guy you want to be around. Like I said if I keep kissing you or just stay around you like this.." He just shook his head as he trailed off with his words not knowing what to say.

Bethany sat down her drink on a nearby table, and took his hand in her and looked down at them then back at him. She shook her head not wanting to believe what he was saying, "Who says that you are no good for me? I think you are an amazing guy and you make me happy and I think just that makes your more than good." No amount of drinks could stop her mind from becoming clear enough to try and save what could be the best thing in her life. "Sometimes you just have to let go of your fears to know whats right."

Jake looked to her and he wanted to believe her. He wanted to let go and just be with her. "What's right to be might not be what's right to you and I value you too much right now at this point to try anything on you but I also know me and know I will and.." Jake gently ran his fingers through her hair and tucked a piece behind her ear.

Bethany closed her eyes lightly and leaned into the hand that was tucking her hair behind her ear. "Well how often in a lifetime do you feel what we just felt, Jake?" She opened her eyes to look at him. "Right now there is only us, and this feeling. Forget fear or worry or we are going to miss a possible amazing opportunity."

Jake closed his eyes trying his best not to look into her eyes but there was no use. His eyes fluttered open once more and he couldn't resist her, he couldn't resist this moment. Jake kissed her once more and he felt like everything he had just said went right out the window.

Bethany let one of her hands cup his cheek as he closed his eyes. She was not going to let him get away from her and think that he wasn't good enough for her. When he kissed her again those fireworks happened once more but only stronger. She wrapped her arms around his shoulders. "I am not going to let you get away from me that easy." She muttered against his lips.

Jake chuckled against her and shook his head, "I can see that. I like the ambition you have." Jake placed his cup down on the table near them and then quickly twirled Bethany around. "Now about that dance."

Bethany smiled and sighed to herself, relieved that this night didn't take the turn that she was worried it could have taken. "I am full of it, especially when it is about something important." When he twirled her around she couldn't help but giggle lightly her hair lightly moving with her. "I have been waiting for one of those especially after that amazing first date."

Jake slowly moved around with her even though the song that was playing was fast he decided to go the slow dance route. After all he just felt him and herself in the room. "You're lucky you're cute or else I would've walked away by now but I just can't pull myself away from you."

Bethany rested her arms old his shoulders and raised an eyebrow at what he said but a smile soon following after. "Lucky I'm cute huh? Just wait until you see my puppy dog eyes and then you will never be able to say no." She winked at him teasingly, "But I am glad that you can't get rid of me too easily because I can't seem to pull myself away from you either. There is something special about you, handsome."

Jake "Puppy dog eyes? Oh no, please don't do that to me. I can never handle it when my baby nephew gives them to me I don't need another person them shooting them my way." Jake chuckled and felt himself start to blush as she complimented him. "So you feel that too, yeah? I don't know what it is but I'm just so drawn to you and it's different."

Bethany only gave him a little preview of her puppy dog eyes, "Puppy dog eyes? I mean I don't know what you are talking about. You won't need to worry about me shooting them your way." When she saw him start to blush her smile couldn't help but grow. "It is different, not like anything I have felt before...and I never knew how amazing it really was until it happened to me. I mean I may need to be pinched to know its real but I really felt those fireworks." After she noticed she was rambling on about the kiss she looked down and blushed slightly. Part of herself wishing the rambling part of her washed away with those drinks also, hoping she didn't run on about it too much.

Jake felt fear set in. She felt the fireworks as well, what did this even mean? "I can't wait to take you out on that second date but I'm warning you that you'll eventually leave me." Jake shrugged his shoulders putting his defenses back up. "I'm not a good guy. Don't know if you've heard the rumors about me but I'm kind of a manwhore. I don't really know what a relationship is. Not that I'm saying we'd jump into one but you know..I don't go on dates let alone a second one."

Bethany when he shrugged his shoulders she looked up at him meeting his eyes. "I can't see that happening, but even if that did all that matters is what we feel right now. Forget worries of the future or like I send before we could miss out on something that could be great." She moved one of her hands to rest on his chest, "And I am not saying we should rush into anything because we are at the age where we want to explore. There is nothing wrong with that and it does not make you a manwhore. You are a great guy and you deserve good things and deserve to be happy. And if being happy just means us enjoying eachothers company then so be it."

Jake was so surprised she was okay with just doing what they were doing with no rushing. Jake was used to girls going out once and wanting to jump into a relationship right away but not this girl which made him want to get to know her even more. "I'm not a great guy but thank you."

Bethany shook her head lightly, "You may not think so but I think you are but for as long as you want to keep me around I will remind you of it." She was relieved that he was staying here with her, she could understand why he was worried but she didn't want a worry like that to get in the way. "Sometimes rushing into things isn't the best way to go. There is nothing wrong with living each day on its own and just enjoying it. And as many days as you want to keep me around I will be here and enjoying the time I get to spend with such an amazing guy."

Jake "You know the more you talk the more drawn into you I become. It's like you're in my head or something and it's both attractive as hell but also very very scary. I can't believe I'm about to admit this but you terrify me so far Bethany."

Bethany "Well hopefully I don't scare you away because I don't know what I would do without the dances or the kisses." she winked lightly trying to lighten the mood. Wanting more than anything for him to feel relaxed and comfortable. "But this situation is new to me too, but maybe we just have to trust that whatever is meant to happen will happen."

Jake "I don't think you could scare me away even if you tried it's just I'm not used to having this kind of a connection with anyone." Jake finally broke his gaze from her and looked around and noticed a huge difference. The party was dying out and Jake couldn't help but laugh. "I think the party is starting to die out, have we really been just talking this whole time?" Jake couldn't believe he managed to get so wrapped up with Bethany to miss most of the party but he honestly didn't even care at this point.

Bethany looked around at the party and couldn't help but shake her head and grin, "I think we have, you are just so captivating the rest of the world just disappears." She couldn't see her sister anywhere and guessed that the party really was dying down. There were a few people still dancing and other placed sporadically but other than that she knew it was time to figure out where to go. She ran on of her hands through her hair, "This party really did fly by, but I am sure a handsome guy like you must have some plans to look forward too."

Jake shook his head at her statement, "Just going to sleep but I wanna make sure you get home safe. Let me buy you an Uber." Before she could even protest Jake was pulling out his phone and ordering it knowing Bethany wasn't used to heavy drinking and her attempting to drive was not an option. "I'll even ride in the Uber with you so I know you get home okay." Jake smiled warmly down at her before draping his arm around her and making his way outside to wait on the Uber.

Bethany was about to protest not wanting him to worry too much but knew it wouldn't be worth arguing about and she did start to feel herself getting pretty tired. "Well thank you, you are too kind." When he draped his arm around her she leaned into him feeling so comfortable in his company. "Plus it looks like I get to keep you around a little longer then. Because I am pretty sure I don't want this evening to end just yet."

Jake "I don't want it to end either." Jake looked up to see the Uber pulling up and he let Bethany climb into the back first before following behind her. "Just give the driver your address." Jake waited as she gave the address and as they drove off maybe it was the alcohol or maybe it was because Jake was truly brave he gently interlaced their fingers together and examined how they fit together for a moment before looking up to Bethany.

Bethany told the driver her address and smiled when she felt their fingers lace together. She looked down at their hands and squeezed his hand lightly. It was like they fit together perfectly, she looked back up at him and smiled. Even though her hands were small they still felt so comfortable in his. She just hoped he felt that same way too. When they pulled up to her loft she looked back at Jake, "Do you want to come inside for a bit?" She asked not wanting the night to end like she said earlier.

Jake just sat in a happy silence and then they pulled up to her place. Jake was upset they had to part ways but maybe they didn't have to when Bethany asked him to come in. "Um, sure." Jake smiled and opened his side of the door and thanked the Uber driver before climbing out and helping Bethany out of the car. "Lead the way, gorgeous."

Bethany got out of the Uber and accepted Jakes hand when he helped her get out of the car. "I can at least offer some remedies to help make the coming hangover less painful. I have helped my sisters countless of times I am pretty much an expert." She said as she led him up to her place, when she got to the door she unlocked it and opened it up. She set down her bag and turned on the lights, "Welcome to le maison de Bethany." She said jokingly nudging him lightly.

Jake smiled as Bethany offered to help with the hangover to come the next day. "Well, aren't you sweet?" Jake entered her home and chuckled as she gently nudged him. "It really is a nice place though. It suits you."

Bethany laughed lightly, "I try to be sometimes, I hear it helps keep people around." She headed into the kitchen and looked around for some food, "I have a whole lot of things, is there anything you are craving?" She bent down to look in the fridge, "I have a whole lot of options since I went to the store before the party. Greasy foods, spicy foods, soups..."

Jake "Definitely not spicy. Not good to mix that shit with alcohol. Most definitely greasy foods though. I typically go for really greasy pizza when I'm trying to avoid a hangover from hell. It works every time."

Bethany "Good point, then greasy food it what you will get, mister." She said getting eggs, bacon and ingredients for nachos. "I'll let you try the magical Bethany nachos that my sisters and her friends love to have after parties." When the food was finally done she sat it all on the counter in front of them. Placing her hands on her hip she looked at her food then back at him. "I can totally see why they always claim they want this because it looks amazing with drinks inside you."

Jake sat and watched as she made the food and he just admired her the whole time. She seemed to be so perfect even making greasy drunk people food. He looked to the meal in front of him and it looked amazing, "Shit, I'd eat these sober, too." A soft chuckle escaped his lips and took a nacho to try it. "Bethany, these are so good. Do you cook often? Because I'll make you my girlfriend right now if you cook like this always." Jake realized what he said after the fact and looked up to her, his eyes wide. "Wait, no. I'm sorry. I didn't mean it like that."

Bethany grinned when he seemed to like the food, she took a few bites of the chips and couldn't help but giggle at his reaction. Although it was hard for her to hide her cheeks turning pink when she hear him say the word girlfriend. "Jake, don't worry. Remember what we said earlier? Just thinking about the present? Whatever happens, happens." She smiled softly, "But yes I do, I love cooking and baking. I make cookies, cakes, brownies, cupcakes and also I have a pretty famous mac and cheese and I have been told I make great pizza." She relaxed her elbows on the counter, "So it looks like you better lock me down soon or someone might steal me away to cook for them." She winked playfully hoping to lighten the mood."

Jake listened to go on about her cooking skills and the more she talked the more perfect she became. "Wow, you're actually right though. I better get my shit together and get to you before anyone else can." He winked to her playfully and continued to eat at the nachos. "I can't cook to save my life. My mom never really taught me and then moving in with my dad we have a cook come in once a week to cook us meals to last us or we just get take out."

Bethany was glad when he seemed to relax, even though she is really starting to enjoy him and his company she does not want him to feel like he ever has to change who he is. "Well it looks like I will have to come in and save the day, if you ever need or crave something I am sure I could find a way to cook it up and give it too you. I will be a call or text a way to give you whatever your heart desires. I mean you have gone so long without my amazing dishes you need to make up for it."

Jake listened to her go on and he glanced up to her with a smile, "I'll be sure to keep that in mind. I know my dad would really love more home cooked meals but he's always on the road too so it's hard to get that shit." He shrugged and helped her to finish off the nachos. "So, what now? Do you need me to tuck you into bed before I can leave?" Jake closed his eyes and realized he was saying a lot of stupid stuff. "Not that I want to leave because I'm really enjoying this night with you but it's late and another cure for hangovers is sleep."

Bethany was glad that she was feeling pretty good throughout the night, her sisters were worried about her but she was glad that they had nothing to worry about. "Offering to come into my room huh, Puckerman?" She winked playfully. Then all of a sudden she felt this pain in her stomach one that she feared, she put on hand on her stomach. Part of her hoping it would just go away but when it really hit, she knew. "I will be right..." She said as she covered her mouth and ran to the restroom

Jake "I mean if you're offering I won't say no." Jake smirked to her and then he noticed a change in her. Her face became pale and she just seemed off. As she spoke he watched as she ran to the bathroom and he knew what was going to come next. He got up and looked in her cabinets for a glass when he found one he poured a glass of temperature room water and carefully made his way towards the noises. He found himself outside of her bathroom door and gently knocked on it, "Bethany, are you okay?"

Bethany could not explain how embarrassed she felt, she was just flirting with him one minute and the next she was running to the bathroom. When she felt like she was done she heard the knock at the door and put her face in her hands. "Yeah...yes, one second." Just when she thought she was fine she felt the second round coming. After she was done she sat up and brushed her teeth and washed around her face. She opened the door and ran her fingers through her hair. "I am so sorry about that..." She said her face still red from embarrassment.

Jake waited for her to finish and part of him just wanted to walk in and check on her but he didn't want to overstep any boundaries. "No, Bethany, don't apologize. It happens to the best of us." He raised the glass of water and handed it to her, "Drink this but slowly don't down it all at once or you'll throw up again. What we need to do is get you out of those clothes and into something more comfortable and into bed so you can rest. What you need now more than anything is to sleep and to sip on that water."

Bethany smiled lightly at him and took the water, "Thank you." She took a few sips of the water, "Yeah, that would probably be a good idea..." She stepped out of the bathroom her legs wobbling slightly from still being nauseous. When she got her balance she took a deep breath, "You can go if you want to, I am sure keeping a hungover girl company was not on your agenda tonight." She seriously did not want to be a bother to him at all, and she didn't want to scare him off either. She rarely liked even her sisters see her sick let alone someone that she had feelings for.

Jake watched as she barely managed to walk and he just shook his head. He ran to her side and gently gripped her around her waist. "No, I'm staying here. I can't go home knowing you're like this especially your first time like this and on your own. No fucking way." Jake gently took the glass from her hand and placed it down on a table nearby. He then swiftly and carefully picked her up and carried her bridal style towards what looked like her bedroom. Once he entered the room he gently sat her down on her bed, "Where do you keep your pajamas?"

Bethany suddenly felt relaxed when his arm went around her waist to help hold her up. "You really are a knight in shining armor aren't you?" She said smiling trying to still be her peppy and joking self. When he swept her up she swore she felt those butterflies like she felt earlier that evening, being so close to him just gave her this feeling that she couldn't put her finger on. When he sat her down on her bed she adjusted herself lightly to sit up, "Oh yeah, they should be in that big dressed in the second row, middle drawer."

Jake "Something like that but only for you if we're being honest." Jake smiled and nodded along as she told him where her pajamas were. He opened the drawer and picked out a t-shirt and a pair of loose shorts. He walked back over to her and held her clothes in hands, "Do you want to change yourself and me walk out?"

Bethany was starting to slowly feel more and more tired, something that happened whenever she got sick. "Mhm, that works with me." She said smiling softly, she sat up to pick up the pajamas to change. When he walked out she took off her dress sitting it on a nearby table, not wanting to throw it on the floor. Although it the process of changing she felt the pain once again, and with that she ran to the bathroom in her room. Although she made it just in time but got some on her pajamas. After cleaning herself up again once more she sat back up with a frustrated sigh.

Jake left the room and then her heard a commotion in her room. He entered once again and spoke up, "Beth? You alright?" He carefully halfway stepped into the bathroom and noticed what had happened. "I'm gonna go unmake your bed then grab that water. Just stay here, okay?" Jake quickly pulled the covers back on her bed and made sure all the pillows were placed neatly on the floor beside her bed. Running out of her room he grabbed the glass of water and entered the bedroom again. He placed the glass on the nightstand next to her bed and helped her sit on the edge of her bed. Grabbing the glass he gently cupped her face and raised the glass to her lips. "Take a few sips only, okay?" After a couple of sips he pulled the glass away and placed it back on the nightstand. Jake let out a sigh and watched her grow more and more tired. "You can totally smack me if this isn't cool, okay? But I'm just trying to help you out." Jake gently pulled her shorts off and placed them on a nearby chair not wanting to just let them sit on the floor. Next he carefully pulled the shirt up over her head. "Stay right here just like this. If you need water take a couple sips like I did with you okay?" He grabbed the shorts and looked around her place before finding her washer and dryer. Putting them in the washer but not turning it on just yet he rushed back into her room. He couldn't let her sleep in just her bra and underwear so he shed his shirt and carefully put it on over her body. Going over to the other side of the bed he climbed into it and helped her to lie down in bed. He adjusted himself in her bed and rested her head on his chest, "I'll stay here as long as you want me to, okay?"

Bethany brought her knees to her chest when she got to the edge of her bed. She nodded, "Its fine, thank you." she said with a soft smile following. Bethany helped him with sitting up as much as she could. "Not the ideal reason behind undressing someone, huh?" She said her voice soft but her signature smile still across her lips. When he left she adjusted herself on her bed, part of herself being glad that she was comfortable in her body. She scooted back in the bed, trying her best to find a way to relax but could never find a comfortable spot. For a time actually forgetting that she was pretty much undressed apart from her bra and underwear. When he came back in she sat up slightly, feeling herself relax lightly when he put his shirt on her. The shirt covering her perfectly just like how their fingers laced together perfectly. When they adjusted and she was resting her head on his chest she nodded lightly. Feeling herself relax almost immediately. "What would I do without you, the one and only Jake Puckerman?" She said in her tired voice, she looked up at him and smiled.

Jake "I won't lie, I never thought this would be the situation we'd be in for me undressing you for the first time but I'm not upset about it." He grinned back to her and was glad she was starting to feel a bit more relaxed. "You'd probably be laying in bed feeling like complete crap. No offense." Jake mentally cursed at himself for saying the wrong thing again. "I'm glad I could be here to help." Jake continued to hold her and started to run his fingers through her hair and wanted her to finally get some rest. He started to hum a few songs in his head until he landed on the perfect one. He started to sing 'The Way You Look Tonight' by Frank Sinatra but a more slowed down and softer version not to disrupt Bethany from falling asleep.

Bethany closed her eyes and relaxed as he ran his fingers through her hair. People playing with her hair in general was one of her weaknesses and laying with him in addition made this the perfect end to a perfect night. She started feeling herself drifting to sleep when he started humming to her, it was only a matter of time until her body completely relaxed and she was fast asleep. Bethany wrapped one of her arms across his chest cuddling more against him in her sleep. Almost as if it was natural for her to want to get close to him.
