CH2: SUGAR & HONEY

"Seriously Betty, when are you going to just ask him out?" Amanda said in an annoyed tone.

"Amandaa, I can't just...do that" she responded

"Why notttt? It's so annoying seeing you guys flirt with each other all the time without seeing any action."

Betty rolled her eyes.

"I know he likes me. I don't get why hasn't made a move. I keep doing things to...peak his interest, but it's not working."

"Oh, it's working!" they heard Marc say as he caught up to them. "Didn't you see him in the meeting? He was drooling. He couldn't stop looking at you."

Betty grinned "that was the idea"

"Oh, you're so devious, I like it!" Amanda grinned.

"Why do you guys think I've been chewing bubble gum so much? Believe me; it's not for my health. I wanted him to...I wanted" she blushed

"Just say it, Betty. You wanted to tease him, tempt him." Amanda grinned "It's genius!"

"Yes, very diabolical" Marc rolled his eyes.

There was silence for a few minutes as they rode down to the café that the MEADE building recently added to the lobby. Once they walked in Amanda looked to Betty "So, what are you going to do?" Amanda asked as they stood in line.

Betty shrugged "I don't know. Do you guys think I look pretty?" she asked looking down at herself.

"Oh ya, Betty. You look really beautiful. I don't get how Daniel hasn't pounced on you by now!" Amanda responded. Betty looked at her pensively, and then let out a sigh.

She bit her lip, before she began blowing the bubble gum again as a habit.

Marc watched Betty as she blew her bubble and smirked wickedly "Betty, you should play with your gum more."

She looked at him "but I've been doing that. He still hasn't noticed." She said in a bummed tone.

"Oh, he noticed. He could not stop staring at you. And whenever you blew a bubble it looked like he wanted to jump across the table and attack you"

Amanda laughed and Betty blushed "really?"

Marc rolled his eyes "yes, egh, I can't believe I'm saying this, but you should wear lip gloss. Shine them lips!" he said

Amanda's eyes lit up "Oo, I have this really shinny pink lip gloss upstairs. It will really make your lips look yummy"

Betty's face flamed as they told her this. She had confided in them one night when Marc and Amanda spent the night at her place, telling them that she wanted to have Daniel notice her because she liked him and they had told her all sorts of tricks to use to get his attention, how to dress, how to wear her hair. It seemed to be working, but he wasn't making a move.

She sighed, why did this have to be so hard? Sure, she could ask him on a date, but she wanted him to do it. She figured if he was really that into her he would.

She smiled thinking about how gorgeous he looked in the meeting. She had wanted to kiss him so badly. She knew Marc was telling the truth, she could feel Daniel staring at her throughout the meeting. In fact, that made her smile.

And seeing him look at her in such a sexy way made her feel like she was on a thrilling rollercoaster. Why did he have to be so charming? He was just so intoxicating.

Those eyes!

So blue!

And beautiful!

She smiled thinking about how they shine when he smiles. Oh and his smile; it was insane how seeing his smile made her body tingle.

She also noticed that he wasn't wearing a tie today and that his shirt –his deadly purple shirt- had a few open buttons at the top, and his sleeves were rolled up.

He had been working out more lately, and getting a glimpse of his chest and his tone arms made her want to tear his shirt off. He was so sexy!

Amanda was right; she needed to just ask him already. Before some hot gorgeous model finds him and makes him forget she existed.

She sighed.

After they had all had some sweets and coffee, they headed back up to try the next 'plan'.

"Here Betty" Amanda handed her the lip gloss, but Marc took it out of her hand and pulled her along to the bathroom, the women's bathroom "What are you doing?"

"We have to fix you up a little" Marc said, Amanda grinned. He handed Amanda the lip gloss "You do this."

He scrutinized Betty for a moment. "hmm...you look gorgeous" he said more to himself.

Betty smiled looking to him "really?"

"Yes, but, something's missing" he said wondering what it was. He looked to her face, the lip gloss was perfect. It made her lips 'pop' and the black eyeliner really made her eyes shine. Without the glasses she looked prettier. He was happy that he and his bestie were friends with Betty. He would never vocalize it, but he was excited that she had asked them for help.

His eyes went wide "I got it"

They both looked to him in wonder, when suddenly he pulls the hair tie that Amanda was wearing out of her hair "Hey!" Amanda cried

Marc ignored his bestie and handed Betty the tie "You need to put your hair up"

"What, but I thought-"

"Just do it! Your luvah goes nuts when you tie your hair!" he exclaimed as Betty began to slip her hair up into a pony tail "Really?" she asked with her eyes bright and hopeful. He nodded with a grin.

"Oo, Betty" Amanda playfully teased her friend. Betty bit her lip, blushing "NO! Don't bite your lip!" Amanda sighed "now, you have to put the lip gloss again!"

Betty giggled "Sorry, it's a habit"

"Actually, your luvah goes crazy when you do that" he informed. Why he knew so much about what Daniel likes was not something he liked to admit.

He had seen Daniel come in to their office on more accounts than even Mandy had

-218 times in the past two months! It was pathetic!

And due to that torture he had seen how Daniel reacted to certain things that Betty did or how Betty looked in the day. It was maddening! He wanted to just smack Daniel in the head.

Betty and Amanda looked to him in wonder "I don't even know if we want to know how you know that" Betty stated.

"You don't!"

As soon as she reapplied the lip gloss she looked at them "There, am I good?"

"You look awesome, Betty!" Amanda acknowledged.

"Spin around" Marc demanded

"Why?" she asked confused

"Just do it!"

She spun around, smiling while she did. Marc rolled his eyes, but smiled when she looked at him with her hope-filled eyes.

He grinned "Perfect"

A bright smile swept her face "Yay"

"Now, let's seduce your luvah!" Marc said walking out. Betty and Amanda looked at each other giggling before they followed him out.

AN: I'll have the next part up in the next few hours :D hehe!
