Btw I do not own ugly Betty or any of its characters, I just |LOVE it!

Chapter 4

Amanda walked up towards the front door of the Manhattan apartment that she shared with Betty. She turned around to face the road as the company car she had just travelled in sped away at top speed.

She couldn't understand what was happening. Why did it feel so different when they kissed? It felt like nothing she had ever felt before.

She knew what she had to do to clear up her mind and figure out what had really just happened.

She rummaged through her Prada bag to look for her keys, but they were gone.

"Damn, I must of left them at work!" She said to herself. She knew that she could knock on the door and Betty would no doubt let her in, but there was no point.

She hid her bags in the cupboard Betty's dad had installed a few days ago and walked down the stairs and back out to the road to call a cab.

"So, you kissed Marc?!" said the voice of her nighttime call: Daniel.

"Well, yeah. But I don't know what happened!"

"What do you mean you don't know what happened? Even I know what happened! You and Marc got it ON! Haha"

"Hey! Shut up! That was not what happened! I was just pretending to be his girlfriend so that his mom wouldn't find out he was gay!"

"But-"

"Look Daniel, I didn't come over here for this. I came over to see you,"

And before he could say another word, she had wrapped her arms around his neck and her tongue around his. Daniel knew there was something up. He just didn't know what it was. He started unbuttoning her shirt, and before he knew it, they were both on the bed, naked.

Amanda was enjoying this, but it didn't feel the same. When she kissed Marc, she felt fireworks, but when she kissed Daniel, however experienced he may be, she just felt pleasurable. She didn't want to say it, but she was starting to think that she was falling…. For MARC! And Even though he didn't say it, she knew he felt it too!

"Oh God, Oh GOD! OH DANIEL!!!!"

Daniel becoming inspired by this went harder and before he knew it, Amanda started pulling away.

"I'm sorry Daniel, I don't think I can do this right now. It's just too much and… and I'm too confused. I'm Sorry,"

And with this she picked up her clothes, stuffed them in her bag, put her coat on and walked out the door, without another word.

Daniel sat up on the bed, trying to distract him from the pleasurable feeling he was feeling down below. He knew why Amanda had left. It wasn't because she was annoyed at him, but more like she was annoyed at herself. Annoyed at getting herself into this mess more-like.

He stood up and went over to the window at the corner of his room. He tried to not to look but out of the corner of his eye he spotted Amanda walking down the street, tears streaming down her face.

"Hi, Mode Offices, Amanda speaking," she said into her earpiece in her usual drawly voice.

"You want DANIEL! Then go call his office! Stop disturbing me from MY hard work!" she then disconnected the call before they could reply, she took out a donut from the huge box that had been residing on her desk all morning.

She had been in a mood all morning. Everyone had noticed, but only her, Wilhelmina and Marc knew why. Speaking of Marc, she started to wonder where he was. She hadn't seen him all morning, Thank God! She thought.

She turned around in her new chair to see a confused looking Betty staring at her.

"Betty! God, why are you looking at me like that?" she asked.

"Oh, Nothing. I'm just happy, I was just talking to Matt-"

"Betty, I'm not really in the mood to listen to your love life right now, okay!"

"Okay. But… Speaking of love life, I just walked by Wilhelmina's office to find her MEETING Marc!"

"WHAT?! Wilhelmina was kissing Marc? WHY?!" Amanda, to her own surprise, felt a wave of sadness hit her. And before she could stop herself, she felt unstoppable thoughts hit her: Why id he kissing HER! Didn't last night mean any thing to him? Or is that what he does, tease them!

Betty looked at her and waited for a reply, but when Amanda just stared at her with a glazed look on her face, she decided to keep going, describing every detail she saw, down to whether they had their eyes closed or not.

"HOLY SH*T!" Amanda cried, when she realised what she was just after thinking.

"WHAT? What happened?"

"Well, Betty. Do you remember when I said I would be home late because I had to help Marc out with something?"

"Yes. His mom was home or something?"

"Well, his mom doesn't know he's gay, so I had to pretend to be his girlfriend, because he doesn't want her to find out." It was only for the seriousness of the conversation that Amanda didn't laugh at the look on poor little Betty's face as she was told this piece of news, she tried to interrupt, but Amanda didn't want to have to repeat herself, so she just ignored her and continued with the series of events from the night before.

"The whole night was going great apart from a few small hitches, but otherwise she totally fell for it. Until…"

"Until what?" Betty asked too much in shock to say anything else.

" Until we were going home, then it turned into a disaster, well sort of. You see, they were dropping me home and Marc got out of the car to say goodbye to me, but his mom was in the car with Wilhelmina and then they started yelling at us to kiss! So we had to and…and…and…"

"You kissed him! And what happened then?"

"Nothing else happened! I swear! It's just that-"

"Would you just spit it out!"

"I felt something. When we kissed, I felt something!" whispered an ashen-faced Amanda.

"It felt like there was something exploding inside me, like there was-"

"Fire-Works," They said in Unison.

Amanda looked surprised that Betty understood what she meant. But Betty on the other hand was shocked that Amanda felt that way about Marc.

"But Amanda, maybe you were just imagining it. Maybe you just pretend really good or…or Marc could've been just trying to persuade his mom real good," Betty started stuttering as she tried to come up with reasons why, on the outside she looked relaxed and calm, but on the inside she felt like screaming with shock, or falling to the floor with laughter.

"Sweet, Little, Pie-Eating Betty. If, as you say, was only pretend, then why did Marc skip our morning gossip in the secret s*x room and has been ignoring me all morning?"

"It's only 9.30 am. You only come in at 7.30 am!"

"Yeah, so that's two whole hours! I should have met up with him at least 5 times already!"

Betty stared at her and wondered how she got away with skipping work so much, because she reminded herself that she only got 2 breaks a day, and she was on less money than Amanda too.

God, Betty thought, I really deserve a raise, and reminded herself to let Daniel know as soon as an opportunity came up.

"BETTY!" Amanda exclaimed.

"Have you been listening to me at all!" she continued as Betty realised that Amanda had been continuing the conversation as she was dreaming about her well-earned raise.

Betty assured her she was, but checking her watch, said that she had to go because she was meant to be getting Daniel a coffee and Bagel.

Amanda watched as Betty walked away from the circular reception desk and into the elevator, Amanda remembered the times when she hated her and thought of all the fun times she had had with Marc teasing her.

Marc, she thought, Oh Marc, what are we going to do now.
