" Daniel you can't be serious?" Betty had been looking forward to this all week. She had finally convinced Daniel to go with her to take dance lessons. One of her goals for the new year was to learn how to ballroom dance,well, at least learn a dance or two. And now suddenly after weeks, months of hassling her boyfriend, he was just going to suddenly brush her off, she thought not!
" Oh come on Betty, you know how awful of a dancer I am. I know two steps actually make that four, front, sideways, and backwards. I just think you want to get a good laugh out of my predicament." Daniel knew that wasn't true but if he could make her feel somewhat guilty then she wouldn't force him to go.
As she watched him try to avoid eye contact she couldn't help but chuckle, walking over, she grabbed his hands and pulled them up to her chin. With puppy dogs eyes and popping out her bottom lip she pulled out the look that worked every time, " Aww Baby, I would never want to embarrass you. I actually just wanted to watch you shake that glorious butt all across the dance floor." She had pulled out the big guns.
Looking down into dark brown eyes a mischievous grin spread across his face, " Well since you put it like that. I guess its only right to grace everyone a glimpse of what you get to see every night."
" Your a smart ass, you know that!", with that Betty smacked his ass. Before she could walk away he pulled her close and kissed her passionately. It didn't take long for Betty to become lost in the kiss. As her hands moved over his butt and squeezed she could feel him smiling. Breaking the kiss he leaned into her ear and whispered, " Its a great ass isn't it?"
Unable to help herself she giggled, " Well I can not tell a lie."
" Go get a room or at least wait till I am gone before you show that display of that, that shall not be named."
" Shut up Amanda! Shall I talk about what I seen yesterday?"
" Umm, uh, Betty your father called and wants to know if you will be home for dinner?" With that Amanda quickly turned around and returned to her desk.
" What is it that you seen yesterday?", Daniel couldn't help be interested in this newly gained power that Betty had over Amanda. Those two had a very unique friendship, one minute they were mortal enemies and the next best friends.
" Oh nothing. I just caught Amanda and the UPS guy going at it in the sex den. She promised if I kept it a secret than she would give me my messages for a month. So I just had to remind her of her promise."
" Oh sex room. I forgot all about that. Maybe we should visit it tomorrow on our lunch break?"
" Nice try Daniel! Why would you want to wait till lunch? Usually you attack me in the elevator, on the way to work, in your office. So why would you want to suddenly be all secretive?"
" You act like I never give you a moments rest and if I remember correctly it isn't always me that starts the fooling around. If I remember correctly who was it that suddenly stopped the elevator and had her way with me? Umm I don't hear anything. When the door finally opens and their's a crowd standing there, what did you say? Oh thats right you didn't say anything. You just turned to me ,smiled and walked away, while I fixed my clothes that were all dis shoveled."
" That really was a great morning! I never felt so good."
" You Betty Suarez should be ashamed of yourself!"
" But I'm not." With that she smiled and grabbed her stuff. " Hurry up or we are gonna be late and you know how much I hate that. While you grab your stuff I am gonna call my dad."
" Stupid dancing. I could think of a million other things that we could be doing but oh no she wants to go dancing. So help me..."
" What are you grumbling about?"
" Man you are just always there!"
" Daniel do you really not want to go dancing? I just thought it would be something different to do. Besides we hardly ever leave the house and when we do its to go to work and come back home." Betty really had been looking forward to this and even if Daniel didn't want to do it she was gonna go.
" Listen if you don't want to go then I will go by myself or maybe Hilda wants to go? I don't want to force you to do something you don't want to do."
" It's not that I don't want to go Betty. I just don't want to look like an idiot. Enough people laugh at me on a daily basis, I don't need to encourage more." He hated being so honest with Betty because in some ways he felt like it made him less of a man but what he didn't realize was, that is exactly why she had fallen in love with him all those years ago.
" Daniel, first off its a beginners class and no one is perfect. No one laughs at you on a daily basis anyways, its me their laughing at. I mean no one would ever think in a million years that one of
New York's finest, sexiest, richest bachelor's would be with a girl like me. So there not laughing at you its who you are with." Betty hated saying it but she knew it was true. There were days she felt like the laughing stalk of Mode. Her hair was a mess, wore clothes that didn't really match and a mouth full of silver. Everyone thought Daniel was crazy when their relationship had finally come public. She had begged him not to but he was determined to prove to her that he loved her and wanted no one else but her to share not only his office but his heart.
Daniel watched as Betty's eyes filled with tears. All he wanted to do was show her how wrong she and the rest of the world were but he decided that he had another way of showing her just how much he loved her. Grabbing her hand they started walking towards the elevator. He turned around to see a beaming Betty smiling at him, " Now thats the Betty I know and love.", leaning down he gently kissed her lips and tasted the salt from her tears, pulling back he looked into those eyes of hers, " You know where we will be spending our lunch break?" Without a word, she nodded her head and the elevator door opened.
