Chapter 1
Betty instantly stiffened as the jet began to descend. Daniel could tell she was holding her breath. He smiled as her hand grasped his tighter. She'd held his hand the entire flight home. She hadn't let go once and he hadn't wanted her to. It felt so right to hold Betty's hand. His mind went back to the events over the past few days: the flight to Los Angeles, the business meeting with the biggest designer of the year, and of course the rain. But what he knew he'd never forget was Betty. He'd realized how much he loved her on this trip, and he had made his affections known. His felt queasy as he remembered how terrified he was that she wouldn't feel the same way.
At first, he was sure she didn't see him as anything more than a friend. That rainy night, he thought he'd scared her away. His breath hitched as he remembered kissing his way up her arm and being close to her. He remembered leaning in to kiss her. He was so close they were sharing a breath. But that had been ruined by her cell phone. He knew that he'd lost any hope with her. Daniel closed his eyes as he remembered what happened next. That next morning he'd yelled at her on the phone. He hadn't known it was her. But when he went to her hotel room to apologize, he finally got up the courage to tell her what had happened between them the night before wasn't a mistake. He smiled as he remembered the heavy make out session they'd had in her room after that, but they were interrupted again by the bellhop who had come to get Betty's luggage. Now they were almost home, he was holding her hand, and they were going to give it a try. "Me and her," he thought, "Daniel and Betty. My father would be thrilled." He laughed to himself and smiled at her as she held her breath, waiting to feel land beneath her feet again.
He leaned in and whispered in her ear, "I've heard it helps if you count to ten." She opened her eyes and turned to look at him. Their faces were inches apart.
"It's supposed to help when you're taking off. I've got no idea what helps when you're landing," her eyes were mischievous as she corrected him and she flashed him her greatest smile. That smile alone was enough for Daniel's heart to melt.
He leaned in, "Maybe I can help." With that he pressed his lips softly to hers. She immediately responded and parted her lips slightly. The kiss was leisurely and sweet, but it was enough to make Daniel's head explode. He pulled back a little as possible as the plane touched down. He smiled down at Betty, "Feel better?" he whispered.
She looked at him with a gleam in her eyes, "Definitely."
