As Betty walked down the MODE hallway she felt her heart race a little faster. Since Daniel had asked her to grab dinner, she felt this was the perfect opportunity to tell him she was going to London. Tonight, she had to. There was no other way.
She couldn't just leave.
Or could she?
Of course not! She had to tell him.
Seeing him as she approached the conference room caused her heart to skip anxiously. How was she going to do this? As she saw him get up from a chair, he looked to her as she walked up, smiling brightly.
Why did he look so good tonight? He was in all black looking so...hot.
She bit her lip trying to keep her thoughts focused. She had to tell Daniel. She couldn't get distracted by his smile again. Or those eyes of his!
As he opened the door for her he took the food from her hand greeting her with a very charming smile and raspy sexy "hey"
God, why was he so cute? It only made it harder to do this.
"I'm glad you're here. I was having a difficult time choosing the right picture." He said
"Of course Daniel." She smiled at him.
"And um...well, I missed you Betty" he said sounding so sweet. Why did he have to make things so much harder for her? It wasn't fair.
She wished she could stay, but she found herself feeling things for him that were very unfriend-like, especially since Hilda's wedding. They had spent the whole night dancing together, having a great time. They had left together. Daniel had dropped her home and before he left he hugged her so...so perfectly, she wanted to just melt in his arms.
She felt different with him lately. She couldn't stay in New York any longer. She couldn't take seeing Daniel with other women and quite frankly, she couldn't take the intense emotions he made her feel.
"I'm so happy you called me. I couldn't take any more of my father's crazy attempt to change my mind about-"she stopped in midsentence realizing what she was about to say.
"Change your mind about what?" he asked curiously.
"Oh um...about...about trying this really gross dish he made"
"Oh...what was it?" he asked
"Haggis"
He made a disgusted face "What's that? Sounds gross"
"It is! It's disgusting! It smelled horrible! So thank you." she smiled at him gratefully. He nodded with a pleased smile. "My pleasure" goodness the way he said that made her stomach flip. She bit her lip trying to keep her thoughts, well, not so naughty.
"Can I take your coat?" he asked sweetly.
She bit her lip nodding. She slipped it off her shoulders and felt butterflies seeing that he had seemed to take her in appreciatively. She blushed handing him her coat "Thanks Daniel."
He nodded "ya, sure" he placed it on the back of her chair, standing close to her and oh goodness he smelled so delicious. Why did he have to be so...seductive? She thought to herself. She felt tingles all over.
As she looked up, he smiled at her so sweetly; she couldn't help herself from smiling back.
He sat beside her "So...let's get started, shall we?" he asked as he took out the food. She stared at him wondering how she was going to...well, move away. To London! Across an ocean from him!
She bit her lip looking down at the pictures of him scattered across the table. She realized that this would be the last time she would help him with anything MODE related.
The last time they had dinner together?
"Betty?"
"Hmm..." she responded distractedly. "You ok?" he asked gently.
She looked to him and smiled with a nod "yes, sorry I was just thinking about my family."
"Is everything ok?" he asked worriedly.
She nodded "Yes, actually, everything is perfect. I'm just a little...nothing" she stopped herself again. She didn't want to ruin the last dinner she would have with him. She could tell him tomorrow when she got to work.
"You sure?" he asked again.
She nodded "Yes, let's eat!" she said with a bright smile. He smiled back "great"
Several minutes later, Betty found herself sitting much closer to Daniel, their shoulders and arms were touching as they made fun of the pictures of Daniel. "hahah, oh God, Daniel, why did you make this face? You're making that jerk-y face."
"Hey" he whined "I am not!"
"Are too! But, hehe, well, this one is...better. Why don't you take one now? You look...well, gorgeous right now"
He grinned "I do?" he asked. She bit her lip nodding "Yep...you're really handsome. These pictures over here don't do it for you! This issue has to be perfect." She said with a blush.
He smiled looking at her eyes, his face inches from hers. She felt so many butterflies it was insane. And his eyes intoxicated her so much, she felt like she would melt at any moment. "I think you look beautiful" she heard him say, and looked to him with a small smile "really?"
"Absolutely, you look really gorgeous."
She smiled biting her lip, blushing at his comment. "we need to get a camera" she whispered, getting lost in his eyes.
He nodded "Let me see if I could find one." He got up heading to the door of the conference room "I think there might be one in the Closet from the shoot earlier today."
She nodded "Ok. I'll be here" she said
He smiled at her again "ok" he stood there for a moment before he realized he was standing there and left. She felt a blush sweep her face. She bit her lip closing her eyes really wishing that Daniel would like her. She quickly shrugged that thought away.
No! She had to go to London. This was a great opportunity. A once in a lifetime opportunity!
Daniel would understand. He was her best friend. He would support her and encourage her. She smiled brightly feeling convinced to tell him when he got back. She grinned brightly when she thought of a brilliant idea.
When she saw him approach the room with a camera in hand she smiled brightly. "Daniel, I have something I want to share with you, but first let's take this picture" she said getting up and taking the camera from his hand realizing that it was a Polaroid camera. She giggled "Where did you get this? Did you go back in time? This is ancient!" she said with a laugh that made him smile.
"I thought it was cool. I think it was part of the photo-shoot."
She laughed "It's perfect!" she said realizing she could have a picture of them together. "We can take a picture together and I can have something to..."
"To what?" he asked wanting her to finish her thought. She looked at his eyes "to remember this" she said with a quieter tone.
He looked at her oddly, but she took a deep breath
"Daniel, there's something I have to tell you. It's big and you, well, its better I tell you now before you find out from someone else! I just, it's well, I, I'm moving to London!" she said taking a nervous gulp.
He just watched her for a minute.
She looked at him nervously, but added "this has been the hardest thing I've ever had to do is tell you this, but Daniel, I just, Mr. Dunne offered me this...really amazing opportunity to run his magazine. In London! And it's so...crazy and spontaneous, but I think I should take it. It's a once in a lifetime opportunity."
She watched him closely to gauge his emotions, but he simply listened to her, so she continued "he wants my voice...I mean, mine! Can you believe that? I'm just Betty, but he seems to think my voice is perfect for his magazine. I don't know Daniel. What do you think?" she asked looking at him feeling nervous for his response.
What happened next surprised her. A smile swept his face before he said "I think you should take it. This is your dream, Betty! It's amazing! I think, no, you have to take it! You deserve this. You're amazing. And I think your voice is perfect."
Her eyes lit up "Really? You mean that?" she asked happily. He nodded with a smile "Of course! This is...fantastic Betty!"
She was smiling so brightly, she threw her arms around him "Oh Daniel! Thank you so much!" she hugged him tight so happy that he was so understanding.
"For what Betty?" he asked confused.
"For understanding! I was so worried about telling you. I was scared. I didn't want to hurt you. This, oh God, thank you Daniel! You have no idea what this means to me" she kept her arms firmly wrapped around him.
He wrapped his arms around her more making tingles run up and down her body. "I just want you to be happy." He whispered to her causing tears to form in her eyes. "thank you" she whispered back, trying to hold back more tears.
"Can we...take that picture now?" he asked.
She moved back looking at his face and nodded happily "yes, sure!" she smiled and held the camera up away from them, still keeping an arm around him. His face was just a brush away from hers. She felt like she was in a daze. The warmth emanating from him made butterflies flutter within her. She smiled looking at him before she looked back to the camera clicking the button. Daniel took the polaroid as it emerged from the camera and waved it so the picture would form. She smiled watching him, but then got an idea.
"Daniel, look" he looked to her and she took a picture of him. He took the camera from her hand as she pulled out his picture. "Now, your turn" he said holding the camera up to take her picture. She smiled watching him, trying to hold back tears. She was so happy she told him. She was sure this was better than him finding out some other way. Especially if it wasn't from her
He smiled looking at her "one more together?" he asked. She nodded, tears forming despite her attempt to keep them back. He saw the tears slide down her cheeks and smiled looking at her, with his perfect sweet smile, before he held his arms open. She moved into him wrapping her arms around him allowing herself to cry.
"I'm so happy for you, Betty." he said in a low voice. "You're going to be amazing."
"Thank you" she whispered, she moved back and took one of the photos of both of them together and picked up a pen and wrote on the back of it before handing it to him with a smile.
He looked at it
Ticket to one wish!
Betty forever 3
He looked up at her curiously. She smiled "You get to wish for anything."
"Anything?" he asked
She nodded "Mhm...Anything that will make you happy"
He looked at her for a moment as if in thought. "Come on, tell me. Whatever you want" she suggested again
"You promise?" he asked again.
She nodded "Yes"
He stepped closer to her causing her heart to pound mercilessly in her chest at his proximity. "Can I kiss you?"
Betty looked at him unable to breathe. Did she hear that correctly? Oh god, he said he wanted to kiss her? Daniel! Kiss her? She felt like her lungs were running out of oxygen. "You, you want to kiss me?" she asked in surprise.
He smiled
She looked at him "Why?" she couldn't help but ask. She was curious.
He smiled further "because...I'm really happy for you. You're...gorgeous. I care about you."
With everything he said Betty's heart pounded like a drum. She couldn't take it. How was she going to do this? If she kissed him she was sure she wouldn't be able to leave. How could she? She would be hooked on him.
She looked at him hearing him continue the perfection of what he was saying to her. "I want to hold your face. I want to look into your pretty eyes and, see that perfect smile. I want to kiss your perfect lips...just once."
She looked at him in near disbelief.
He looked at her "its ok, you don't have to. I know it's crazy. You're just so beautiful and I-" Daniel was cut off by Betty's lips crashing into his, her hands coming up to pull at his shirt to bring him closer. His hands grasped her face deepening the kiss, their bodies molding together. His passion made her tremble; she felt weak, like she would fall at any moment if she let go of him. When she felt his hands slide through her hair, down her shoulders and to her waist tugging her tightly against him she felt this insane thrilling rush all through her. She felt tears fill her eyes at the emotions that coursed through her from his kiss.
How was she going to leave now? Especially realizing that Daniel was...well, the love of her life. She pulled back from him, wanting to run, but unable to remove her hold on him. They both seemed to be out of breath, but he looked at her, lifting his hands to her face and looked into her eyes. He smiled at her wiping the tears "I love you" he said, his voice so sincere and sweet, she cried
"Daniel, I...I ... this" she let go of him and picked up her jacket and pictures and rushed out of the office, tears streaming down her face. "Betty!" he called after her, but she ran faster. If she stayed any longer she wouldn't be able to leave.
"Please wait!" he said as he tried to catch up to her, but she continued to run. She reached the elevator and closed it before he could make it. He couldn't let her get away. He ran down the stairs. Twenty three flights of stairs were not going to stop him from Betty. He would run down the stairs, swim across the east river, and fly across an ocean for her if it meant keeping her in his life. He realized at Hilda's wedding that he was in love with Betty, but getting the chance to kiss her made him realize that there was no way he could live without her.
By the time he reached the MEADE lobby he was extremely out of breath, but saw that a minute after he reached the lobby the elevator was opening. As she was exiting the elevator, he saw that she was still crying, but instead of running out of the building she went to a bench and sat down sobbing into her hands. He felt saddened to see her like that.
He slowly walked over "Betty..." he whispered. She jolted up, "Daniel, please, I can't do this" she said trying to move away from him.
He slowly approached her taking her hand and pulling her close "please, Betty, just listen to me" he said, hoping his calm tone would comfort her.
She looked away, tears still sliding down her face. He placed his hands to her face and made her look at him.
"you forgot something" he said picking up the picture of them that he had. She looked at him curiously. He turned the picture over so she could see the back.
Ticket to one wish,
Daniel forever 3
She looked to his eyes, tears still sliding down; she bit her lip to keep from crying.
"You get to wish for anything you want. I'll make it happen."
Tears filled her eyes to the brim "I wish...I could have both"
"What?"
"You...and London"
He smiled "who says you can't?"
She looked at him strangely.
"I love you, Betty. Do you really think I would let you leave without going with you?"
Her eyes seemed to light up. He grinned "I ran down 23 flights of stairs for you. I would race across the world for you."
She smiled, her eyes shining. He smiled holding her face "I love you"
She threw her arms around him "I love you, too!" she cried hugging him tight.
AN: I hope you enjoyed that! there is a chance I can write one more chapter, but you just let me know.
