TWO SHOT... Someone is driving Daniel crazy...find out what happens as his patience thins.

For entertainment only! :P LOVED writing this! :) hehe

PART ONE!

It was a stressful day at MODE. It seemed as though there were infinite meetings and things to be done. It didn't help that the reason for his annoyance at the moment was sitting right in his office across from him hiccupping every ten seconds like it was a ringtone.

There she sat across from him, her hair loosely flowing along her shoulders, her brown eyes intently focused on what she was reading, while her lips opened and closed as she silently mouthed what Marc had written for his piece.

Hic!

And there it was again. That darn hiccup. Daniel wanted to scream. He glanced up at her, his cobalt eyes fiercely piercing through her wondering if she was torturing him for some reason.

Hic...hic!

Daniel sighed in frustration and rubbed his hand anxiously through his hair leaning back in his chair. He let out a tense breath and stared at her again. She just continued reading like it was nothing. She didn't even ask him if something was bothering him. What was she doing? He was sure now that she was torturing him. Did he forget something? Did he upset her? No, what could he have done?

Hic...hic...hic!

Daniel nearly pounded his fist against the desk in frustration. He got up and walked around and started pacing in his office. He glanced at her and she still didn't budge. Now, he was sure she was torturing him.

Hic!

Daniel let out a breath and walked back around to his chair. She glanced up at him briefly and looked back to what she was reading. He sat down rather dramatically and put his elbows on the desk clasping his hands together and just looked at her. She glanced up at him, not long enough for him to respond. After a minute her eyes met his.

"Daniel... hic... I just finished reading Marc's hic..." Daniel cringed with each breath anticipating her next attack. It was like they were missiles directed to his brain, each one successfully setting off another button. "...and it's really hic...excuse me...hic good."

He just nodded, running his hand along the back of his neck. "I think you hic made a great choice in finally hic making him hic an editor"

Daniel slammed his fists on the desk "THAT'S IT! I CANT TAKE IT ANYMORE!" Betty looked at him her eyes big in surprise at his outburst. He quickly leaned across his desk grasping her face in his hands and kissed her like it was a life or death situation. Betty's eyes got bigger in shock. He kissed her so deeply she started feeling lightheaded. When he let go of her face and slowly sat back in his chair, he looked at her and saw her eyes were as big as golf balls. He ran his hand nervously over his face. "Uh...sorry uh...I uh... God Betty...it was just getting so annoying. I felt like I was going to explode!"

Her eyes slowly got back to normal and her face got less tense. She was still staring at him not sure if what just happened was all part of some dream or if it really happened. Daniel was getting nervous by her silence. He continued "It was just those darn hiccups." He noticed she hadn't hiccupped in longer than ten seconds. Maybe he really did get it to go away. He felt like he won the battle! The war was over! Now, on to the other battle of not having Betty kill him for kissing her...

"Betty, please say something." He looked at her intently, his blue eyes pleading with her to not be mad at him. She started giggling uncontrollably, her face turning red. Daniel looked at her confused. "Mind telling me what's so funny?" he asked slightly annoyed.

She laughed more, her laughter filling the entire office. He narrowed his eyes. "You think this is funny? I've been in freaking meetings all day and working on stuff non-stop and your stupid hiccups were driving me crazy! And you're laughing at me?" he said upset.

She looked at him and laughed some more, her eyes bright with amusement. Daniel's face was turning red. He slammed his desk and stood up "BETTY! What the hell?" he said frustrated and annoyed at her laughing at his expense. He was right. It was some sort of punishment. He walked around his desk pacing close to the door. Betty just laughed some more. After a minute she got up and walked over to him and looked at him, trying her hardest to hold back her giggles. He narrowed his eyes as she stood in front of him. An amused smile came across her face. "Oh Daniel, you're so silly. I'm sorry about the hiccups. I couldn't help it."

His face softened and he looked at her eyes. A smile slowly crept along his face. She smiled at him. "I'm sorry. Do you forgive me?" she asked looking at him biting her lip playfully. He looked at her and was wondering what she was doing. The way she glanced at him, her eyes shining, her eyelashes fluttered as she looked up at him, biting her lip playfully... was she flirting with him? Daniel raised his eyebrow in curiosity. "I guess I can forgive you."

"Good!" she shot him a flirting smile. He looked at her oddly. "What?" he asked in wonder. Her smile turned into a grin and before he knew it she was kissing him. Now it was his turn to be in shock. His eyes got big in surprise momentarily, but when he felt Betty's hands that were holding his face go to his waist, he held her tighter and deepened the kiss. He couldn't explain how he felt. Millions of emotions he never knew existed flooded him. He felt her warmth and brightness flow through him giving him energy. He felt invigorated. He didn't even know what was happening. He felt Betty move him back against the door. He reluctantly held her shoulders breaking the kiss. "Betty?" he looked at her...a rosy blush prettily colored her face, her eyes bright, her lips red from the kiss, and that smile. He couldn't help how he felt looking at it. He felt his heart race suddenly.

She looked at him shyly. "Thank you for stopping the hiccups." She said with a smirk. A grin broke out across Daniel's face. "Uh...anytime." he couldn't help but laugh. "So, what? That kiss just a minute ago was just a thank you?"

"Well..."

AN: who said hiccups couldn't be fun? lol ;P
