Jason went into the kitchen of the frat, ate some quick breakfast, and then returned to the room with coffees and Danish for Pam and Stephanie. Both were getting dressed when he entered. Chad was still lying in bed but talking to the two women as they dressed.
"Here's some coffee and something to eat if you want," Jason said, handing the drinks and Danish to the two women.
"Thanks," they both said.
"Hey, where's mine, bro?" Chad kidded.
"Get your own, weasel," Jason said jokingly.
"Weasel? What's the matter, you can't share?" Chad said, nodding to Stephanie with a laugh.
"Don't blame him, Jason. I woke him up. The floor was beginning to feel hard," Stef explained.
"Oh, so all I was is a bed to you?" Chad exclaimed acting hurt.
"That and turnaround is fair play," Stef mused.
They kidded around until the girls left. Jason went to studying right away while Chad showered. He studied for several hours but then broke for lunch. He watched a little sports in the main lounge with some of the brothers after lunch for a few hours to relax and get his mind off things. He read a little more before showering and shaving for his date with Beth. He had planned an early dinner with her to give himself plenty of time.
Jason picked Beth up at six. She opened the door to her room when he knocked and he immediately was struck by one big difference. Instead of her hair in the usual ponytail, her long red tresses were curled and hanging down. She looked phenomenal. She was dressed in a cute sundress with clog type sandals.
"God, you look gorgeous," Jason said.
"Oh, thanks," Beth replied smiling. "You look handsome too."
"I love your hair," Jason commented.
"Thanks. I thought I'd show you a different look today," Beth responded.
"I'm glad you did," Jason declared. "Hi, Haden."
"Hi, Jason," Haden said from her desk where she sat studying.
He almost hadn't noticed her sitting there he was so enthralled with Beth. He asked what she was studying, searching for something innocent to say. Truth was he wanted to look at her a second longer without staring. She was a pretty brunette with awesome blue eyes and he concentrated on her looks and almost missed her reply of statistics.
"Sounds dry," Jason pronounced.
"It is," Haden said, with a cute dimpled smile.
She was definitely cute but he turned back to Beth, "Ready to go?"
"You bet," Beth replied. "See ya, Haden."
"Have fun, you two," Haden offered.
They left Smith Hall and walked to the parking lot and Jason's car. He held her door for her and then hurried around to start it up. Seconds later they were on the campus main road and exiting onto the street.
"Where are we going?" Beth asked.
"I took you for steaks the last time. This time we're doing seafood, if that's okay with you?" Jason added.
"Sure, I love seafood," Beth said.
It was a twenty minute drive to the restaurant and they talked about swimming on the way. Practices were hard for Beth but the double sessions on the weekends were going to be over soon. She was thankful for that because she had to take a little nap that afternoon so she wouldn't be too tired for their date.
They got to the restaurant and the maitre' de showed Jason to a special table he had reserved. It was in the bay window on the back of the converted house that overlooked a small pond. Canadian Geese were swimming in the pond and eating grass on the sides as they took their seats. It was growing dark and the floods from the back of the building illuminated the pond.
"Nice spot," Beth commented.
"Yeah, I ate here once before and was jealous of the couple that had this table."
"You must have reserved early to get this?" Beth questioned.
"I did at that, but nothing but the best for you, Beth," Jason said with a smile.
"I think someone's trying to get lucky tonight," Beth whispered with a giggle.
"Why, Madame, I beg your pardon," Jason mused.
"Yeah, you'll be begging alright," Beth stated back but with a laugh.
"Well, I'm not opposed to get on my knees to beg to a pretty woman," Jason confessed merrily.
"After what you did to me the last time from your knees," Beth whispered joyfully, "You might not have to beg much."
They laughed but cut it short when the waiter arrived for their drink orders. Jason would have loved to order wine but between age problems and driving they picked iced teas. The meal was wonderful and the company better. Beth had Dover Sole and Jason the fried seafood platter. Not exactly dietary she kidded him but he worked out enough not to worry. Jason found Beth very easy to talk with and the conversation just rolled along all through dinner.
After a wonderful Terra Meuse, Jason paid the bill and they left. He started heading back towards campus but it was only eighty thirty. Beth looked at him questioningly.
"Don't worry; I'm not taking you home already, pretty lady."
"Where to then?" Beth kidded. "To the airport again?"
He got the reference to their last date and the backseat activities of the previous time and laughed along with her.
"No, to a hotel," Jason explained.
Beth looked at him a little unsure and nervously, "What do you mean?"
"To the bar at the hotel," Jason added. "One of the brother's bartends there. We can have a drink or two."
"Oh, really," Beth said, now smiling with him.
Jason pulled into the same hotel where he had fucked Ariel several times and they went into the lounge area. It was a sports bar with a mixed crowd of young people like them, older couples, and business people. They took an open table off to one corner. Jason looked to the bar and his friend was giving him the thumbs up. Jason wasn't sure if he was saying hi or commenting on the gorgeous redhead he was with but it didn't matter. Paul walked out from behind the bar to greet them.
"Hey, Jason," Paul said approaching the table.
"Hi, Paul. This is Beth, Paul," Jason introduced them.
"Nice to meet you, Beth," Paul said smiling.
"Hi, Paul," Beth replied with a warm smile back.
"Place is pretty hopping tonight," Jason continued.
"Aah, this is pretty normal for a Saturday night," Paul claimed. "What can I get you?"
"You still remember how to make those awesome green apple martinis you made for me once?" Jason asked.
"No problem," Paul said.
"Would you like to try one of those, Beth? They are great," Jason added.
"Okay," Beth responded.
"Two then, Paul," Jason ordered.
"Coming right up."
Beth and Jason talked about summer vacations they used to take as kids when Paul returned with the drinks. They sipped them and Beth complimented Paul on how good they were.
"The secrets in a little cherry juice but don't tell anyone," he said winking and left.
"He's nice," Beth commented as Paul returned to the bar.
"Yeah, he's great," Jason agreed.
They talked and drank their drinks. When the first two were done they ordered two more. When those were gone, Jason ordered two more. Part way through the third, Beth was giggling about something Jason said and he was laughing too.
"Jason, I feel the alcohol in these. They're potent," Beth said and chuckled.
"Yeah, we better not have anymore," Jason agreed.
"Aren't you worried about driving back?" Beth queried.
"No, campus is just four blocks away and, besides, this is a hotel after all," Jason let drop.
"What are you saying? We should get a room," Beth squealed with laughter.
"We could," Jason said, laughing too.
"Oh, you are a naughty boy," Beth claimed laughing heartily.
"Just enthralled with your beauty," Jason proclaimed chuckling too.
"I think you're trying to get me drunk so you can take advantage of me," Beth claimed with a smile.
"Is it working?" Jason confessed.
"Yes, I'm afraid it is," Beth roared and they both cracked up.
As they finished the last drinks and Jason paid the bill, Beth was sitting contently at his side. They slid out of the table and made their way to the door. Jason was a little intoxicated but he felt he could drive if he had too. They could even walk to campus and pick up the car the next day if need be. He started walking Beth to the main entrance when she tugged on his arm.
"You shouldn't drive like this, Jason. But you've already spent enough. It would be too expensive to get a room, right?" Beth claimed, she was a little drunker than him.
