Daniels p.o.v

I know I should be happy for Becks, I mean come on he'd just made one of the best decisions in his life. Falling for Betty. The concept of it is quite unreal for the narrow minded, I wouldn't be surprised that if this got out more than a few eyes would be rolling, after all Betty wasn't the type Becks normally took an interest in but then again she kind of grew on you after a while.

You learn to appreciate the humble little things she does to make your life better. And after a while you'd find your self head over heels with the small Latino spitfire from queens. As I was saying, I know that I should be happy for Becks but it still killed me when I thought of them together.

Jealousy wasn't the word I would have used to describe it…more like utter frustration and pain. All these years of me trying to work up the courage to do something about my feeling towards my assistant. And Becks just walks in with his messy hair and stupid baggy jeans and tries to take my Betty away. I felt like an incompetent (ooh. Big word) child.

I was sitting in the Suarez living room watching A Christmas Carol with Betty. Becks had taken an early night. We were sleeping in the spare room in the house. At the moment I was sitting on the couch with Betty resting her head on my chest. It felt so right, so I decided to do something. something that would probably ruin the whole moment. And scar me for the rest of my life. I told betty my feelings for her.

"umm Betty. I need to talk to you about something." she got up and sat crossed legged beside me. She smiled at me gently and rested her head enthusiast.

"sure Daniel. What is it?" I took a gulp and got ready to spill my guts to the woman beside me.

"umm. Well, we've worked together for a long time now. And we've been friends for a good while to…do you remember last summer when you told me that I could tell you everything and friends didn't keep secrets from each other…betty. I have to tell you something." my voice was cracking I could hear a little voice in the back of my mind shouting. 'shut the hell up Daniel Meade. Do you want to ruin your friendship with her'

But I just pushed it further back. Were I couldn't hear it anymore. I turned toward Betty. And took her hands in mine.

"what is it Daniel? Is something wrong?"

I laughed weakly and stroked her cheeks. Her eye's searched mine for the answer but I could tell she still didn't know. I guess spelling out for her would be easier, but I'm Daniel Meade. Men like me don't talk…we act. I leaned forward and brushed my lips against hers. I could feel electricity move through my body. Her lips were warm and inviting and tasted so sweet. And tried again this time dipping my tongue into her mouth and roaming for something. Anything at all. I could feel myself loosing it. I wanted her to say something anything. But she was still as a rock. I snaked my hands around her waist deepening the kiss….but she pulled back. Her face was flushed and she looked horrified. I blew it. I blew it bad.

"Daniel…?"

"I love you Betty…so much it almost hurts." she looked down at the floor for a while and looked up again. Her eyes were slightly watery.

"I'm so sorry Daniel. But…I don't love you…I love you as a friend. But I don't love you like you do me…" my breath was caught in my throat. I was begging that the floor would just swallow me up…but It wouldn't. I felt like lashing out say thing to her that I would regret in the morning. things like : 'and you think Becks loves you. Well sorry to say he doesn't. he only goes for models. And you Betty…are no model.'. but I couldn't. I loved her too much to do such a stupid thing…I would die before I hurt Betty again.

"I understand…well I better get to bed then." I got up and made my way up the stairs. stopping mid way I looked back to say one last thing

"you and Becks would be a good thing…go for it."

I could see the confusion in her face, I turned around and went to bed. I probably wouldn't wake up for a long time…
