I was feeling weird after my night with Betty. It was not at all what I had anticipated. There had been a few moments when it first started, where I had been able to get my hands on her rather quickly.

I knew that Betty had the same urge inside of her that I had. It was obvious that she wanted me. It was also clear, though, that she wasn't ready for it. Her reasoning behind it was still unclear to me. I had questions, but I’d learned to wait. I was convinced that there was a good explanation. It wasn't from lack of desire and want either. It had been dripping off of her. Why she insisted on making it difficult, I had no idea.

So, I went home with a full spectrum of emotions. I had fun and that obviously was a good thing. It had been refreshing to be around her and she even got along with my bandmates. Maybe she was even a bit too perfect; however, it didn't change anything. We talked about going out the next day and even though I had other things planned, I knew that I would obviously have a way better time with her. It hadn't taken me long at all to figure that out.

I still wasn't sure how I felt about all of it. By this time in any other relationship, I would be balls deep inside of the girl. I wasn't used to delaying gratification and even though I knew a lot guys were into that sort of thing, I was not. I wanted gratification and I couldn’t go without it much longer.

Deciding that I couldn’t wait, I came up with a plan to go see her. I went back and forth with it for at least an hour or two. I knew which room she was staying in and I couldn't stay away any longer. I tried the age-old method of throwing rocks at her window to get her attention, but that didn't work. All it did was make a horrible sound that made me paranoid as hell and I was convinced that everyone was going to hear it. When she didn't come to the window, I started to lose hope that my plan was going to have a happy ending. What had I been thinking?

When I was about to give up, I saw a shadow behind the window, and I knew immediately that it was Betty. She opened the window and it took her a minute to realize who it was. She wasn't ecstatic to see me, but she wasn't upset about it either. I guess I'm just going to have to take it.

“What are you doing here?”

“I can't stop thinking about you.”

“Well, you could have called me, you know.”

“Yeah, I guess I could have. I wanted to see you. Can you come out for a little bit? Are you sleeping?”

She agreed that she wasn't sleeping, and I wanted to take that as she couldn't sleep because she was thinking about me.
