Chapter 1: Bejeweled and Bedazzled
Imagination is a powerful tool. What will happen to Betty when she discovers a tool that allows whatever she dreams up to come to life? What would she do with it? What if someone else got their hands on it? Will this bring Daniel and Betty closer or push them apart?
Betty was walking into the MEADE lobby towards the elevator. As she was walking she noticed something sparkle and catch her eye. She looked in the direction and saw a pen on the floor. She picked it up and was surprised to see a pen so beautiful. The pen was silver and had a skeleton barrel; there were gold engravings along the whole pen that spun around the barrel like a staircase. The top side of the pen had a purple rose shaped crystal that had diamonds encrusted along the edges of the petals and leaf. She was mesmerized by the beauty of it. It took her breath away. She could tell that it would cost a fortune. She wondered where it came from.
She was about to go to Human Resources and turn it in, but she thought otherwise. What if someone stole it? She placed the pen in her bag and got on the elevator.
"Betty!" Daniel called as he ran up to the elevator. She smiled hearing him and held the door open for him. He ran in "Hey" he said looking to her.
She smiled "hi"
"How are you?" he asked.
"I'm good...look what I found on the floor" she said as she pulled out the pen and held it out to him.
Daniel's eyes went wide at the sight "Woww!" he responded mesmerized by the intricate details and the almost enchanted look it gave off from all the jewels that encrusted it.
"That's amazing" he said taking it in his hand and admiring it. She watched his eyes and was entranced by the jewels reflecting in them making them appear like gems. She smiled getting lost in observing him. He just looked so handsome. Especially today. She didn't know why. She found him more and more charming lately, especially since she got her braces removed and he had given her that bedazzled look. She remembered that look of his distinctly; in fact, for a few seconds, she felt the heat rise to her face, but when she saw his smile and him say she looked great, she couldn't help the smile that came to her face, especially once seeing that she made Daniel almost speechless.
He suddenly looked up and to her with a fascinated smile.
She felt butterflies.
He held the pen out to her again. "That's really awesome."
"I don't know what to do with it." she said as she still continued to gaze at him. He shrugged, placing his hands in his pants pockets. "I don't know. Maybe just hold onto it for a while. Just keep it."
"It looks really expensive. I'd probably be really upset if I lost a pen this gorgeous" she said as she looked back to the pen in her hand and admired it again. Daniel looked to her and noticed she looked a little different today. There was a small twist in the strands of hair hanging to the sides of her face, but the rest of her hair was straight. The sheen in her hair made it look so lustrous. His line of vision made it to her eyes as she continued to admire the pen. He could see the sparkle of the diamonds in them. Her eyes were so beautiful. He liked the glasses she was wearing. He realized she was wearing different glasses. The frames were more refined, with red swirls decorated on the arms. He definitely noticed that she was looking more and more beautiful every passing day. And man, when she got those braces removed, he'd never seen a smile so brilliant.
He found himself smiling "you're gorgeous" he murmured thoughtlessly.
At that comment Betty looked up at him in surprise. "I mean, uh, it's gorgeous" he responded trying to fix his statement still continuing to admire her.
Betty smiled blushing. Did Daniel just say that she was gorgeous? She felt like a rose that was blooming in the spring. She gazed down unable to wipe the smile on her face. She bit her lip feeling her face warm up.
Daniel knew he slipped, but he wasn't going to pretend he didn't say that. He noticed her smile. She glanced up at him shyly and when her eyes met his face she shot him a sweet smile. Daniel felt his heart tingle at that smile. He smiled back charmingly and focused his eyes on the elevator doors before them.
Betty felt an insane rush of warmth through her whole body and she found it an impossible task to take her eyes off him at the moment.
After a few seconds she tore her eyes away from him and peered down at the pen in her hand. "You really think I'm gorgeous?" she whispered, her heart starting to beat faster as soon as she asked that.
Daniel turned, his whole body directed to her. She could see him from the corner of her eye and it made her heart rate quicken. He stepped a little closer and placed his hand on her arm turning her so she could face him. She looked up at him, her eyes glimmering in wonder. She felt enraptured in those dreamy blue eyes of his.
He smiled "Yes, you're gorgeous. I wouldn't lie to you" he said sincerely.
She smiled, her cheeks turning a light shade of pink. Seeing that look in her eyes and that smile, Daniel really had those strange feelings surface again, just like when he saw her smile brightly at him with her brace-free teeth. He had wanted to ask her out then, but then she told him her family had planned something for her. He didn't want to impose and he felt a little insecure about asking her out. What if she just laughed at him?
But now, he really couldn't hold it back, he wanted to be with her.
"Betty, I..." just as he was going to ask, the elevator pings and the door opens with a flood of people coming in.
Daniel lets out a tense breath. "Great" he muttered.
Betty glanced at him as they stepped out of the elevator to head to their respective offices. She wondered what he was going to say. She sighed, but then smiled and placed her hand on his arm. He looked to her with a small smile.
"Thanks Daniel. That really made my day" she said sincerely feeling the air escape her lungs as she stared into his spell-binding eyes.
Daniel smiled wider "What about finding the pen?" he asked teasingly as they stopped as they approached the donut.
"What pen?" she asked forgetfully. He smirked and picked up her hand to show her the pen. Her eyes went a little wider and she looked down blushing profusely, embarrassed that she got so lost in his presence that she forgot everything else.
He chuckled. "You're welcome, Betty." he said patting her shoulder playfully. At that small touch Betty felt a surge of electricity through her entire body. She glanced up at him, neither of them realizing that Amanda was sitting there watching them.
She smiled "I should um...I should go" she said nervously.
"Ya, uh...me too" he said
"You should kiss!" they both looked to see Amanda leaning over the top of the donut with a flirty smirk and a playful shine in her eyes. She grinned. They both looked to each other and back at her
They both started to stammer and weren't forming complete sentences.
"Why would we..." Betty started nervously
Daniel looked flustered "that would be"
"We were just" Betty added still unable to finish a sentence.
Amanda giggled "Ah, sheesh, go away" she said waving them off finding them so obnoxiously frustrating, despite their adorable way of acting with each other.
They both looked at each other nervously, but sent each other light smiles.
"Bye" they both said, still staring at each other and standing there. Amanda rolled her eyes. She sighed dramatically, and that was when they looked to her and back at each other finally walking away.
Amanda sat there now annoyed. Why were those two so freaking clueless? She couldn't believe that STILL after all they've been through and done for each other and known each other they STILL weren't together!
Sigh, what was she going to do with them?
AN: AHHH Idk let me know what you think. :D
