Flight: NYC to LON

Betty could feel Daniel intense stare and watching her every move, but most of all she could feel him stroking HER fingers, she try to control her breathing, what is he doing? The last thing I can do is sleep, I feel so excited to have this new job but what about Hilda, Justine and Papi, I know they can cope without me but I'll miss Justine growing up. I have already miss one of his new musical coming London for my first meeting, oh no, what I spent the rest of my life running after my career that I miss him growing into a sweet young man. Most of all how am I going to cope without Daniel, he is my best friend, he'll cope without me, he had settle so much over the last few month, not chasing ever woman he see. Over that time I have grown to love him, I thought my world was going to fall apart when Henry left but Daniel was there for me; he took me care of me, after the my first tears we spent so much time together working on the magazine and outside work. After work, we would head home make dinner and watch my tragic girly films, but he did not mind in the slightest.

"Betty – you are my friend, you have been there for me so many time, it now my turn" said Daniel, his blue eye were so intense, followed by his small smile. But for the first time in our friendship he made my heart melt, my first reaction was to push him away, I felt so confuse my ex boyfriend had just left and another man: my best friend had such powerful effect on me, I felt utter powerless so I surrendered to my new emotion. I did not reveal my new emotion to him; although he is my best friend, he is still Daniel, a man with history of women. I am not going to be another one of conquest, he has change though, he not the same man he once was I granted him that.

It has been three year since Henry had left – ever since that intense moment with Daniel the same feeling keeps returning, at first I put it down to rebound and missing Henry and all. I now become master the art of keeping my feeling in check, He smile – I don't react, He teased me – I don't react, When we hug – I keep breathing and I don't react.

Before he offered me the London job, I was going to confess to my feeling or leave my job. Just recently, I have confessed all my feeling to Christina; she rolled her eyes and threw her hands to the air.

"Are we talking about the same people here, Daniel and Betty, the two people who are stuck together at the hips, the ones that always sharing a private joke and nobody else can understanding, me including."

"You Knew" Panic set in, maybe other people know.

"Yeah, I known ever since… let me see… I think about two years and half years"

"Two and Half years" covering her mouth.

"Hmmm.."

"Why, did you not say anything to me"?

"I have but you ignored me"

"I have… What should I do? I cannot bear it anymore… I don't want to risk our friendship, I love him too much to ruin it" still recovering from her shock.

"Do you know how he feel about it?"

"Oh I don't know, all I know that he had not dated much recently but I don't want to read too much into it… But on the other hand, he would do anything for me, I think… I hope…"

"He would" nodding her head.

"I think I am going to tell him this afternoon but he been acting really odd at the moment, working on big project without me, lots of meeting… without me"

That was the afternoon he called her into his office and offered her the London job. Betty felt so shocked; she glances down at her note pad at the list she made for herself.

To Do List:

Keep Breathing

Stay calm

Tell Daniel you love him

Betty now realized what all the meetings were about, that moment she knew that he did not care for anymore than a friend. Gosh, a job in London, thousand miles away from him, my soul mate, might be the best med for me to get over my feeling for him, he is just my friend nothing else. She pulled herself together and smile at him, watching his eager face waiting for her response, her heart soften again, yes, this is the best thing for me: after all it is my dream.

What Betty failed to realize is the amount of time that was required of them to set up a new magazine. Daniel and Betty working relationship will last short while longer, but for how long?

This is my first fan fic but I am big Daniel and Betty Fan, I would love to hear what people think of it, plus any ideas would be welcome. Merry Christmas and Enjoy.
