More than I ever wanted

I do not own ugly betty

2009 New York City Meade publications (mode)

It was Monday morning in the mode building except today was the day Betty would become an editor at the New York Times

She was half way into getting the job except the last part included her boss Daniel to be present at the new York times at 3.00 pm talk about how he thought betty was the best for the job.

He had booked the whole afternoon off so he could be there

She knew this was the beginning of her new life another step to becoming an editor an chef just like she always wanted to be

For once everything was going right.

She walked out of the elevator on to the mode floor with an even bigger metal smile then usual.

"hey why are you so happy" Amanda spoke while looking down at her

"im going to be an editor at the new York times you know .....i told you last week in the apartment" betty said looking at as if she was crazy

"oh ya well you know what im like im goin to forget. remember im getting those new Gucci shoes there so hot" Amanda said not lifting her head from her magazine.

"right .........anyway is there any mail for Daniel"

"no sorry ....not today" Amanda still looking at her magazine

"ok thanks anyway" Amanda didn't reply as betty began to walk down the corridor

She made it to her desk dropping off her coat on her sit as she walked over to Daniel's office walking in

Not brothering to look though the window first because it was past 9 meaning Daniel should be there

"Hey Daniel I've got your...." betty looked up to see that her wasn't there

Betty looked confused as she looked around the office she walked over to his desk dropping off his bagel and coffee

She walked back out of his office as she walked out she saw marc

"Hey marc have you seen Daniel he should be here ."

"Hey look I don't spend my time staring at the boss even if he's got an great ass....."

Betty looked at hime with wide eyes

"Anyway I haven't saw him all morning just call him maybe he's still with miss Sunday"

"Hey Daniel isn't like that anymore he has more respect for himself and women"

"Whatever you say" he spoke dumbly of her while poking her nose

She pushed him away walking back to her desk and called Daniel's phone

It went to voice mail

She began to look worried "don't worry he'll be here before 3 no worries" she thought looking at the clock it was already 11.30.

Daniels apartment 1.30 pm

Daniel was lying in bed next to another model after another 40 minutes of lust filled sex

"Wow that was great I guess not seeing you for a while was worth the wait"

She spoke as she looked at Daniel who was still looking at the ceiling on bothering to give her a glance

"Yea" he spoke bordly

"Hey ......who's betty?"

Daniel looked right at her "how'd you know her"

The model began to laugh

"I don't. But she must mean something to you......seeing as you were moaning her name as we were having "

He quickly shut her up by kissing her he couldn't have her knowing who betty was he didn't want betty knowing that it was her who he truly wanted needed , loved he didn't care how she looked he loved her all the more.

he knew she would never feel the same but if being friends was the closest he'd get then he didn't mind one bit

Every model he's had lately was just to help with his frustration.

They were nothing compared to betty the one he wanted to make love to , marry and spend the rest of his life with and have children with

he realized who much he loved her after last Christmas at the mode Christmas party while she was dancing with that Henry and realising how jealous it made him .

It was now July and he still hadn't said anything to anyone he kept it to himself he was good at hiding it.

"Let's do it again" he said smiling

She laugh god how he wished it was her laugh

"Well you sure you have nothing important today"

"I'm sure" he spoke as he kissed her neck even though there was something telling him he should be there for her today.

2.30 pm in the waiting room of the New York Times

Daniel still hadn't come to work that day

Betty decided to wait for him at the New York Times seeing as it was nearly time for the second part of interview for editor

She looked at the clock 2.55 pm

"Come on Daniel where you are?" she knew had happened to him she had called every hospital in New York she had even asked his mother she didn't even know

Betty knows he wouldn't just disappear and she knew he hadn't been kidnapped somebody would have already asked for a ransom plus he was a grown man

then the words that marc spoke earlier rang in her head

She shook her head she knew he wasn't like that anymore at least he wouldn't forget her for a model would he

"Miss Suarez" she took out of her thought when they called for her

"Where's your boss" "he not here yet but he'll be here I promise "she spoke looking at the guy that had called her for her interview

He rolled his eyes and walked out the room

"Please Daniel hurry" she thought as she looked out the window

An hour had passed and still no sign of him

the guy walked back in after the 10th time that hour "im sorry but we can't wait any longer miss is your boss here"

Betty didn't even bother to look up from her lap "no....." she spoke quietly

"I'm sorry miss but we can't give you the job without..." he was stopped as she began to talk

"I know ............I'm sorry for wasting your time" she said with tears run down her face while walking out the door not bothering to say good bye

As soon as she was out the building she found the nearest alley and began to cry "why didn't he show...... he promised" she spoke tear-filled

She quickly became angered and stomped out the alley she knew it wasn't far from his apartment.

She was going to go right over there and ask him were the hell he was.

he had just react her chance of getting that job and she wasn't gonna let him off easily.

....................................................................................................................................................

She had just got to his building as the door man had opened the door

"Good afternoon Miss Suarez"

"No not really has Mister Meade left the building today"

"No miss I haven't seen him"

"Right" she walked right over to the elevator she stabbed the button to Daniels floor with her finger she tried to relax but she just couldn't

The doors pinged as they open right on Daniels floor

She got to Daniels door and began to slam her fist on the door

She Shaw the outline figure behind the masked glass she found it wasn't Daniels as the door open to find a model in one of Daniels work shirts "so it's true" betty spoke in disgust

The model looked down at her "who are you ...im sure you've got the wrong door Daniel doesn't..........talk to people like you"

Betty ignored her comment pushed past her knocking the model over in the progress

She walked right into the bedroom to find Daniel coming out the bathroom with just a towel on

"hey who wa.....betty" he finally looked to find betty in tears he badly wanted to run over there and embrace her and tell everything was ok but her angered voice stopped him.

"so this was what you've been doing all day huh?" betty looked at him in disgust while pointing and the women on the floor by the door

"Bet_"

"How could you.......HOW COULD YOU" she screamed at him shaking her head

"Hey why are you so ma"

"My interview" she said not looking at him

"What?"

"MY INTERVEIW YOU ASSHOLE HOW COULD YOU FORGET I NEEDED YOU"

Shocked that he heard her swear He finally realize what was telling him to there for her today

"Oh my god Betty you gotta understand"

"understand what huh you'd rather fuck a stranger then help a friend when I needed you the most you know how much I wanted that job........no needed that job"

"All I asked was for you to be their but no .....It just takes some other women in skimpy underwear to make you forget"

"Bet...."

"No Daniel save it I can't believe I stuck up for you when everybody else thought you were still the whore who doesn't care.........I guess I was wrong"

She turned and walked out the door with the model still on the floor

She looked at Daniel who stood there still shocked "that's betty well you sure have change in what kinda girls you like I never thought you liked them over size 0"

Daniel stomped over to her "get dressed and get out" he snarled at her while chasing after betty

He turned the corner to find Betty waiting for the elevator

"BETTY!" she turned and looked at tears running down her face

She turned back to the elevator press the open button again and again

He ran up to her grabbing her arm and pushing her up the wall

"Betty listen to me"

"No Daniel I'm sick of you never keeping promise ... to think.......i thought you change from when I first met you "

"Betty" he whispered he got closer to her face god how he wanted to kiss her and make this all better

"No Daniel let me go"

"Bet" he was stopped short by a fast pain on his right cheek were she just slapped him which sent him to the floor (guess its true women from queen don't fight easy)

She pushed him away as the elevator doors open she quickly walked in she turned around in the elevator looking down at him on the floor still crying

"I quit" his eyes widen at her words as the doors closed in front of him. No he couldn't have her not in his life he couldn't

He sat there for a second before getting up and running for the fire exit stairs

He made it to the ground floor of the apartment building to find she wasn't in the elevator anymore he looked out the glass doors to find her getting in to a cab.

He ran out the doors not even caring that he was only in a towel

By the time he had got out she was gone he was about to yell for her

When a flash startled him he found it to belong to the paparazzi "betty" he whispered as he began to cry not caring what the photo would say in tomorrow's paper.

The cab dropped her off outside her house as she walked to her front door

Her sister opened the door "i know what happened Christina told me"

betty ran into her arms "I'm so stupid"

"Now you listen to me you are not stupid you just believe everybody has some good in them now you listen I'm gonna go over there....an"

"No Hilda it doesn't matter I quit" she spoke as she walked passed Hilda and into the house

"i guess believing that something good could happen to me was too much to ask ....huh"

"Bet" Hilda was stopped by the phone ringing "if its Daniel tell him I'm not here" betty said getting the ice cream out the freezer.

"Ok" Hilda pick up the phone

"Hello"

"Yes betty Suarez is here can i ask who's calling"

This caught Betty's attention

"17 magazine" Hilda made a suggested with her hands to get Betty over here

Betty ran right up to the phone which Hilda was hogging

"Yes she's right here" Betty pushed Hilda out the way to get the phone

"Yes hello this is Betty Suarez...... you got a call from the new York times ...........you want me to work for you" betty scream as she looked at Hilda who went to tell their father

".......yes yes I'd love to May I ask what the promotion is ........c...c...creative director in los angeles oh my god I'd.....I'd love to yes thank you .....Yes I can be there for Wednesday...goodbye"

She turned around to find her family there "they said they saw my piece about that Gucci gown i wrote about in the magazine and someone from the New York Times put a good word in for me"

Hilda started dancing around like no tomorrow "Whoohoo were gonna get in the money oo ya" Betty looked at her crazy

"Well you know what i mean"

"Oh my god aunt betty this is like hairspray all over again"

Her dad walked over to her "I'm proud of you mi,ya but what about Daniel after all the jobs in los angeles....don't you it gonna be weird you just goin not telling any of your friends"

Betty looked down then back at her father "you know what dad I'm gonna think about what I want for a change and that doesn't include him .....Not anymore plus i know Christina gonna understand she always say i can do better than mode"

Her father still gave her that unsure look

"I know what you're thinking papi but this is what I want"

"You sure that's the truth or are you just running away from the truth" her father said as he looked at her

"Wha..." "Oh papi this is her big break be happy for her" Hilda said opening a bottle of cheap wine

Her father smiled "your right im happy for you mija ...well done" he spoke why hugging her will

Next morning

Daniel had made it to the Suarez house he knocked on the door frantically

Mr Suarez answered the door

"Sir is Betty here i need to talk to her"

"Sorry she's not here anyway I think you should leave" Mr. Suarez began to shut the door when Daniel held the door

"Please sir I need her i mean..I need to talk her"

"She not here ...you should have told her before you lost her"

"Wha..?"

"You love her don't you?"

Daniel looked at him wide eyed "how did y..."

"Please you look like a puppy who lost it's bone"

"Please just tell me where she is"

"I can't I promised her I wouldn't say a thing to you"

Daniel looked at him with one last plea before turning around but not before hearing what Hilda said in the back of house

"Hey papi betty's got to the airport"

Daniel turned back around "airport!"

Mr Suarez looked at Daniel "good bye Daniel" then he shut the door

Daniel ran to his town car "airport now"

"Yes sir" the driver quickly started to drive off to the air port

At the airport

"all passengers to flight 182 to los angeles last calling"

Betty grabbed her bags and headed to the ticket stand to get on her plane she had said her goodbye to everyone she wanted to.

She didn't want Daniel knowing where she was going it would be best if he didn't know it would be for the best

She gave her ticket and went to get on the plane just as she was Daniel came running around the corner as he saw her going to her plane the gate was closing he called her name loudly

He saw her turn around but then the gates closed in front of him

"No" he began to run to the door when a police officer stopped him

"I'm sorry you can't go though without a ticket "

"PLEASE I'VE GOT TO SEE HER" Daniel cried frontally making everybody look

But he saw stopped by the police dragging him away "no!"

Betty turned around looking at the closed gate in front of her one of the hostess stopped her

"Come on miss you must board the plane "

"Right .....What's going on out there" Betty pointed at the sound from behind the gate

"oh just somebody trying to get though again without a ticket there always trying that's why we've had to double the officers around the airport but nothing to worry about............now miss you must get on the plane"

"Ah yes off course " she said still looking at the closed gate then turning to get on the plane.

She found her sit and put her bag beside her she looked out her window over New York City

"Bye Daniel" she said quietly before breathing out loudly and looking forward again

At the same time Daniel was watching her plane take off "bye Betty" she said as he leaned on the glass
