Chapter 2 – Be Mine

Betty smiled when she saw a pink rose sitting on top of her desk when she walked in her office. She lifted the card beneath it and read it.

Betty,

Have a beautiful day, dear.

Claire

Betty smiled brightly thinking it was so sweet of Claire to get a rose for her. She found it funny that they seemed to think alike. Betty had dropped off some white chocolate for Claire before she came to her office. She really loved the woman. She was a source of inspiration for her and was the one who pushed for her to apply to the editor's position.

While Daniel and DJ were headed to Betty's office, Daniel suddenly felt his pulse quicken. He wasn't sure why. It seemed to be doing that a lot more lately. Especially now, when he caught a glimpse of her standing by her desk in that beyond sexy dress she was wearing. It hugged her curves so perfectly. He had a sudden need for a hose. As soon as DJ was in close proximity he made a B-line for Betty.

Betty beamed when she saw DJ run over to her with Daniel following behind. "DJ" she hugged him tight. "There's my favorite little man."

DJ smiled so bright she laughed. She looked to Daniel, and felt like her ability to speak had completely vanished. The man looked so gorgeous in the blue shirt he was wearing.

He smiled at her with that god awfully amazing sexy smile of his. "Hey Betty"

"Hi" her voice came out in a whisper. She bit her lip and focused her attention back to DJ who took out a card from his shirt pocket.

"Bet-ty"

"Yes sweetie?"

He handed her the card, a red tint coloring those cheeks of his. She took the card and smiled as she read it, unable to hide her blush at the wording. There was a red checkered ribbon across it and a pink frosted cupcake in the center with hearts for sprinkles and the wording read "Will you be my cupcake?"

It was such a cute and sweet card, she smiled and said "Aww DJ, that's so cute."

He seemed to look at her expectantly, waiting for her to answer. Betty bit her lip and looked to Daniel who grinned shrugging.

Betty looked back to DJ and hugged him "Sure, I'll be your cupcake" she laughed when she saw his rosy cheeks thinking he was so cute. She placed a kiss to his cheek. "Thank you, sweetie"

Daniel really wished that Betty would kiss him. He was cute and adorable too, he thought.

Betty bit her lip and looked to Daniel, who was looking at her so intensely, she felt like he would be able to read her thoughts and they were nearly all inappropriate.

She took a nervous gulp. "So, uh, Betty?" Daniel said after having been nearly drooling as he looked at her. It was embarrassing how much she made him feel and act like a teenager.

"Hm?" she looked at him curiously.

"Uh, how about you join us for dinner tonight?" he asked in casual manner, worried he'd freak her out if he made it sound like a date.

She smiled. Daniel was asking her to join them for dinner. On Valentine's day? Could he be asking her out?

"Tonight? Are you asking me on a date?" she asked flirtatiously, although he could sense her teasing tone. He smirked "I wouldn't say it's really a date. More like uh...two adults who happen to be best friends and coworkers, and a child having dinner together. That's all."

"Mhm" she responded with a smirk.

"Shut up, Betty, So will you?"

"Not if you ask me like that!" she responded somewhat upset that he wouldn't just admit he was asking her out.

"Fine!" he responded.

"So?" she asked waiting for him to ask her nicer. "So?" he came back.

"Are you going to ask me nicely?"

"So are you joining us...nicely?" he joked, letting out a laugh at her obvious frustration. DJ had been watching them 'bicker' back and forth somewhat amusedly.

"Why don't you just ask me properly?

"I did ask you properly. I said 'nicely'!" he said with a grin, trying not to laugh.

"AHH! I can't stand you!" she cried.

Daniel laughed "I can't stand you either!" he said more jokingly.

"You're so annoying!" she fumed. Daniel laughed "You're so cute!" he said thinking she was so adorable when she was annoyed with him.

"Leave me alone! Get out of my office! Wait, what? What did you say?" she asked wondering if she heard things right.

He grinned, coming up to her so that there was only a foot of space between them. She gulped nervously. He was practically hovering over her, his gorgeous cologne filling her senses. "I said you're cute. I love it when you get all flustered and cute and shout at me for teasing you and pushing your buttons."

Betty's eyes went wide at his words. DJ had sat in a nearby chair still watching them, a smile making its way to his face, as he listened to them.

"I uh..." Betty's heart was pounding as he seemed to be getting closer to her.

"So, I'll ask you again, will you have dinner with us, Betty?" he asked in a sweeter tone. She nodded as she took a nervous gulp, those crystalline eyes of his melting her heart. "Mhm" she mumbled breathlessly.

"I require an actual answer" he said with a smirk.

Her response came out in a whisper "yes"

His smirk got bigger as he wiggled his eyebrows playfully. "If you wanted to go on a date with me so bad all you had to was ask?" he said teasingly.

"I didn't want to go on a date with you. You asked me!"

"I said it wasn't a date! And you so did. You just said yes. And insinuated I was asking you on a date."

"Wasn't it?"

"No"

She just looked at him, "Fine. Maybe" he responded.

She smiled. He rolled his eyes "Whatever, you wanted to go on a date with me!" he shot back.

"Wanted to" she said playfully.

"Oh, shut up"

"Oh mon deui! You two are so annoying!" DJ shot up from his chair now finding their fighting boring and frustrating.

Betty giggled as she watched DJ walk away and Daniel watch him walk away.

Daniel looked back at her, glaring at her "You see that!"

"What?" she asked confused. "You just annoyed my son to death!" he said.

Her eyes went wide in shock "ME?" "I did not!" she declared offended by his statement.

"You so did!"

"You're the annoying one! You couldn't just admit you were asking me on a date!" she verbalized.

"I was not!"

"Were too!"

"Fine!"

"FINE!"

"Bye!" Daniel shouted as he started walking away.

"BYE!"

He came back "I'll pick you up at 8" he said in a calmer tone.

She smiled "Ok."

He smiled, placing his card on top of her desk. He walked up to her and whispered in her ear "You look gorgeous" before he kissed her cheek shooting her a playful smile as he walked away. Betty smiled brighter as she watched him leave.

"You're so infuriating!" he yelled back teasingly.

"You're so annoying!" she shot back, before biting her lip and sinking in her chair.

Daniel grinned as he walked to his office, thinking that went rather well. When he walked into his office, DJ rolled his eyes at him. "What was that?" he asked

"What?" Daniel shrugged.

DJ shook his head. "Mon duie, you act like a five year old" DJ said in annoyance.

"Whatever, she's crazy about me, kiddo. You saw how worked up she got for not asking her on a 'date'?"

DJ rolled his eyes at his father's smugness. "I know I'm only 8 and don't know about girls, but I don't know how girls like you papa. You act like an...idiot sometimes"

"HEY!" Daniel exclaimed, while DJ laughed a little. Daniel grabbed DJ around his waist and pinned him to the chaise making him laugh hysterically "Take it back!"

"NO!"

Daniel just tickled him, "PAPA!" DJ squealed trying to move from his father's grasp. "You're stuck. take it back, knucklehead." Daniel said giving his son no way out.

"Papaaa! Ok!" he shouted, trying not to laugh. Daniel moved off him, while DJ sat up. DJ took a breath. "You're not an...idiot."

"Thank you" Daniel said.

"You're a dummy!" he said before running out of his office. Daniel laughed shaking his head. "I'll get you back little man!" he said as he stood by his door watching him go in Betty's direction. Daniel shook his head as DJ stuck his tongue out at him.

LOL I'm such a dork. Oh wellzzz! :P
