Chapter 3: Simple
When Daniel made it to his desk he dropped in his chair and kicked his feet up on the desk leaning back in his chair. He felt like he was soaring in the sky. He couldn't help but smile. Seeing Betty this morning, especially looking as beautiful and perfect the way she did, made him grin. He remembered the incredible time he had with her on her birthday. He was really so glad that he was able to spend her birthday together. Thank goodness for Amanda. He really did owe her big time.
He grinned when he saw Betty walk up to her desk and glance through a few documents that had been placed on her desk. She looked so beautiful. She was wearing that geometric print flare dress that her sister got her; her hair was in long waves, and she was wearing a little makeup. He dropped his feet off the desk and sat up in his chair watching her for a minute. She looked amazing.
He was about to get up from his chair and go over to her, but she had taken the documents with her and walked off. He sighed leaning back in his chair. Man, he never felt this way before. He felt like she was his air; and right now, he was not getting enough. He needed to stay busy. Try and keep his mind focused.
Suddenly he grinned brightly remembering the look on Betty's face when she opened his gift. Seeing the appreciative shine in her eyes, that bright smile on her face, and how happy she was that he remembered her favorite play made him feel like he was soaring again. Hmm... that seemed to be the feeling she gave him. Like he was flying. He shook his head. He needed to focus. They had an important meeting with Christian Siriano later today.
He tried to work for some time, but every time he saw Betty walk up to her desk his heart jumped in his chest and he couldn't take his eyes off her. He felt like she was pulling a string that connected to his heart like a yo-yo. He placed his face against his fist watching her as she was talking on the phone. She was still standing up as she took the call. She looked so beautiful. When she got off the phone she looked inside his office with a smile directed at him. He quickly sat up straight and smiled at her. She seemed to blush and it made an absurd feeling of completion wash over him. She picked up some files that were on her desk and headed to his office. He practically shot up out of his chair, and when she walked in she looked surprised to see him walk up to her.
His voice had come out incredibly low when he said "hey"
She looked at his eyes in confusion, but said "Hi" she held up the files she was holding "The proofs for the last photoshoots are in here. You should look at them. They look great" she said smiling.
He didn't know how long had been staring at her, but he took the files in his hand nervously. "Thanks uh..." he let out a deep sigh.
He saw Betty take a gulp, her eyes looking into his. He felt like he was going to overheat. God, she looked beautiful. And those eyes. He could see the shine in her chocolate colored eyes, especially since she was wearing makeup. It made her eyes pop.
"Um, I uh...I should probably go" she said in a whisper. He was sure she was just as affected by their, whatever was happening between them, as much as he was.
He let out a breath "Um, ok...shit" he muttered; he felt like his head was spinning. She was making him swoon. What the hell? This was Betty. He grinned at her. Betty
She bit her lip, her cheeks turning rosy "bye" she whispered leaving his office. He was standing in the same spot unable to move. What the hell was she doing to him?
When Betty walked out of Daniel's office, her heart was pounding like a drum, and she could hear it in her ears. Goodness, what was Daniel doing to her? She never felt this way about him before.
Although, he'd never made her feel this way before. She bit her lip and looked into his office as she got to her chair. He was still standing in the same place but was now looking at the proofs she handed him. She placed her hand to her cheek watching him unable to keep the smile away. Did Daniel Meade have a crush on her?
No way!
He was Daniel. And besides, she sunk in her chair, he had a stupid girlfriend! A psycho girlfriend.
She shook her head No way!
She needed to stop thinking about the possibility of Daniel. She got up and went to find Amanda. She needed to talk to someone. It was crazy; she would never think to go to Amanda for advice, but she needed her right now.
After maybe an hour of Daniel working he started to become anxious. He got up from his desk to see where Betty was. It was sort of driving him nuts seeing her look so incredibly lovely working around him without telling her, showing her how beautiful she looked. Just as he walked to his door he saw Betty as she walked past his office to go to her desk; he caught her hand and pulled her close.
"Daniel, what are you-" before Betty had a chance to figure out what happened, the door to Daniel's office was closed, she was against it and Daniel had kissed her. She let out a surprised sound.
Daniel Meade kissed HER.
IS kissing her!
She melted into the kiss and brought her arms around him pulling him closer. The way he was kissing her, so slow and intense and oh god, so hot, was making her dizzy. He was taking her breath away, his kiss lifting her soul. She had never felt such a way, ever, especially from a kiss.
His hands landed on her arms as they were around his midsection and she felt like her heart jumped out of her body at his touch. Then his hands trailed down her arms reaching her wrists and then finally her hands, entwining his fingers with hers.
Betty couldn't believe how, how, oh geez, how amazing he was making her feel. And when he lifted their entwined hands pinning her to the door even more, she felt herself melt in ways she didn't even know she could.
Daniel had kissed his fair share of women in his life, but no kiss had ever felt so utterly perfect as this kiss he was sharing with Betty. Her lips were complete perfection. When she had wrapped her arms around him and pulled him closer, he had never felt so... he truthfully had no words to express how Betty, his beautiful, cute, sweet and perfect Betty, was making him feel currently as she returned the kiss with equal passion.
When he left her lips to trail a few kisses down her neck, she let out a breath that was filled with satisfaction and content. It totally turned him on. She sounded hot when she was turned on.
He inhaled her scent as he kissed her neck. She smelled so lovely, so beautiful. She smelled like flowers. His sweet Betty. He placed a kiss to her cheek and stopped his attack on her senses to look at her. She still had her eyes closed, and she looked so totally happy and beautiful it made his heart and stomach flip. Her breaths were still shallow, and it was making his own breathing shallow as he admired her face.
Betty did not think that when she came in to work today, she would be getting this incredibly perfect unbelievable kiss from her boss, her best friend, from Daniel. She thought things would have been weird for them since the 'almost kiss' at her birthday, but this was incredible. That kiss was incredible. He was incredible.
When she opened her eyes to look at him, he smiled at her with this perfect sweet smile, and those beautiful blue eyes shined and she couldn't help the blush and smile on her face.
He smiled bigger. "Happy birthday" he said in a low voice, the smile in his voice.
She bit her lip blushing, sinking against the door more. He still had their hands intertwined pressed against the door just above her shoulders, and his face was only a few inches away from hers. She could smell his cologne. He always had the best cologne. He smelled gorgeous.
She looked into those magnetic eyes of his getting entirely swept in him. For a minute, which felt like forever, they remained standing that way, with her still pinned against the door and him but a fraction away from her, looking into each other's eyes.
The way Daniel was looking at her made her heart skip within her. He smiled at her in the most endearing way. She smiled and closed her eyes for a moment; she felt as if she was in a dream. Not even a few seconds later, she felt his lips on hers again. This kiss was sweeter, but it still had the power to make her stomach flutter.
He parted from her lips; his lips still close enough to give her butterflies. "You're so beautiful" he whispered. She leaned forward and kissed him again. When Daniel let go of one of her hands, finally, she thought, she wrapped that arm around his midsection pulling him closer. She left his lips and said "let go"
Thank goodness he knew what she meant. When he let go of her other hand, that arm came around him hugging him closer as she met his lips for another kiss. His hands moved to her face deepening the kiss, and when she felt his hands move through her hair she hummed into the kiss.
Suddenly, there was this ringing sound, but they continued to kiss for a few seconds longer. "you should... get that" Betty breathlessly mumbled against his lips.
"mmm..." he responded, no coherent response possible at this point; he placed another light kiss to her lips. She felt so lightheaded from all the kisses. This felt so wonderful.
It took him several long seconds to come back down to earth and realize that his phone was ringing. When he pulled it out he cursed "Shit! Shit! It's Renee! Shit, I have a girlfriend" he said in a panic.
Her eyes suddenly went wide in realization "Crap! I have a boyfriend!"
"Shit, uh" he cursed again, running his hand across his face as if in thought, but then looked at her and said "We should break up!"
She looked at him. He shook his head and clarified "I mean, with Renee and you with Harold"
Betty bit her lip to keep from giggling at Daniel's disregard at calling Henry by his proper name.
"You want to break up?" she said in surprise realizing what he just suggested "I mean, with them?"
He looked at her and stepped closer to her "Don't you want to?"
She looked at his eyes "Do you?"
He stepped closer to her and placed his hand to her waist "I've never felt this way before" he said smiling at her, looking into her eyes with those sparkly blue eyes of his that convinced her to do anything when it came to him.
She bit her lip, and then said "I've never felt this way before, either."
He smiled brighter "Then we break up with them, right? Simple" he said, convinced that solved everything.
She shrugged "I guess so"
He smiled and hugged her. Betty felt her heart skip a beat. She wrapped her arms around him. Was this really happening? Daniel Meade was breaking up with his current girlfriend, Renee, to be with her? It was unbelievable.
Daniel couldn't feel better. He was starting to not like Renee a whole bunch anyway. This solved everything! He was going to break up with her. And be with Betty. His Betty.
He let go of her and looked at her with a smile. She bit her lip, looking at him.
His phone started ringing again. They rolled their eyes knowing good and well that it was Renee calling again. She was so obsessive, Betty thought. What was with her? "You should probably answer that" she said.
He nodded, "yeah, you're probably right. So, when do we do this? Tonight?"
"What do you mean? The breakup?"
He nodded with a smile "mhm"
She giggled "yea, sure."
The ringing stopped. "Let's meet at our bridge, tonight" he suggested.
Betty looked at him in surprise at his suggestion. "Our bridge?" she bit her lip, smiling at him. He grinned "mhm"
She nodded, her eyes becoming glossy thinking about the promise they made about revisiting the bridge together. Daniel was about to move toward her, but then his phone rang again, for the third time "Shit, I really need to take that now"
She nodded and stood by the door "I'll see you later" she said as she leaned against the door. He nodded watching her. She bit her lip and left knowing that he really needed to answer Renee's call.
As soon as Betty left he accepted the call "Hey baby!" he said trying to sound cheerful that she called, but now felt it so awful calling her that.
"DANIEL! What the hell? Why haven't you answered my calls? What are you doing?" she asked in a furious tone.
Daniel rolled his eyes "Babe, I'm working. You know that! You can't just expect me to take your calls all the time. I have important meetings."
"Uh-huh! With Betsy!" she stated in annoyance.
"First of all, her name is Betty!" he said feeling annoyed with her "Second of all, as a matter of fact, lots of those meetings are with Betty, You're going to have to get over it! She's my assistant and that's not changing! End of story!" he was so upset that he ended the call. God, he kind of wished this call was on his office phone so he could slam the phone to end the call. He grinned.
When he looked out of his office, he saw Betty sitting at her desk, this beautiful smile on her face as she was taking calls. He let out a sigh thinking she was seriously the best. How could he have not seen what was in front of him this whole time?
When she took a glance into his office, she bit her lip, that smile intensifying before she looked back to her computer screen. The nice moment was interrupted by his phone ringing. When he saw that it was Renee calling again, he rolled his eyes and picked up "hello"
"Daniel, baby, I'm sorry" she said trying to apologize for her crap. Thank goodness he was breaking up with her later. He just knew he needed to do it in person. Especially with Renee.
"Look, you have to understand that my job is very hectic. There's a lot that needs to be done. And I have to take part in it. Anyway, I was thinking we should...meet up tonight."
"Yes, I've been meaning to talk to you about something. Dinner."
"Sure. I'll pick you up"
"Alright, bye babe"
Daniel rolled his eyes at her attempt to be sweet to him when she just blew like a grenade a minute ago. "Catch ya later, honey" he felt so weird calling her that
When they both hung up, Daniel sighed somewhat nervous about ending things with Renee. Only because she was kind of...crazy, as Amanda so frequently voiced
He looked past his office to see Betty sitting at her desk with her hand against her cheek smiling as she looked at her screen. He knew that smile was there because of them...of their kiss, or kisses, and he sighed, he couldn't wait to meet her at the bridge tonight.
He saw her bite her lip in that way she did just before she looked to him with a smile. He grinned and waved at her. He'd never felt this way before; so completely and truly happy. She had laughed at his dorkiness and waved back at him. What they had together was going to be great. Nothing was going to come in the way of him and Betty.
AN: Hope you enjoy! :D
