Radiant Kind of Love

Daniel smiled brightly when he saw Betty sitting at a bench waiting for him. He loved meeting up with her for lunch. It was the highlight of his day. Just seeing her look so radiant made his heart swell with love for her.

He would forever be in awe that he had such a vibrant beautiful wife and that it was with his best friend Betty. Seeing her sitting there watching the kids in the playground, and the luminescent smile that was on her face made his heart race. She just looked so gorgeous. He loved the dress she was wearing, too. The yellow flowers on the white fabric, and the flares of the dress made it so light and pretty; this was a perfect look for her. When she noticed him, the smile that swept her face was the most brilliantly breathtaking smile he'd ever seen. The light in her eyes equally bright.

He smiled brighter and quickly approached her. "You are breathtaking" he said as he took a seat beside her. "And you are just wonderful." She picked up the white paper bag "I got us burgers and fries"

"Oh god, that sounds good"

"And..."

He grinned "cookies?"

She nodded with a laugh "Hmhm, yep!"

"Awesome"

Betty picked out the container with his burger and held it out to him "Here you are, my love"

"Thank you, gorgeous"

She smiled and picked out the one with the fries and placed it on the bench in between them so they could share and then took out her burger. As Daniel took a bite of his burger, he moaned in satisfaction "Mm, man that's good. I've been craving a burger for like a week straight"

Betty laughed, before she took a bite herself. She couldn't help but find Daniel adorable when he craved normal food. She watched him as he enjoyed his burger. It was terribly cute, seeing him sitting in his expensive clothes eating a burger like a kid.

He looked to her after he popped a French fry in his mouth. She couldn't help her laugh. "You are just way too cute" she said as she leaned over and placed a kiss to his cheek. He grinned.

They continued to eat their food, enjoying the warm beautiful day. The sky was bright, the sun shining. The trees and green of the park a refreshing escape from their work day.

Betty giggled when the soccer ball the kids near them were playing with rolled over to them for the tenth time. Each time the ball rolled over Daniel would gently kick it back over to them. Daniel looked to Betty with a smile, her laughs a delightful sound. As she finished eating a French fry, he smirked and said "hey, you got a little something there" he said pointing to her face. She looked surprised "I do?"

He nodded "Mhm, come closer"

She leaned toward him, but he still wanted her closer. He leaned toward her, but whispered "closer"

Betty bit her lip as she watched him; she was getting lost in his eyes. She knew he was probably trying to be slick to kiss her, but she would let him think he was being a smooth player. She leaned toward him "good?"

He leaned toward her and just when she thought he was going to kiss her, he very softly swept his fingers behind her ear giving her the most tingly sensation. When he moved his hand back and held out a beautiful pink rose to her, she gasped in surprise "How did you do that?!" she asked in awe as she sat back amazed that he knew how to do a trick like that.

He grinned "I got you"

She bit her lip and shoved his shoulder playfully before she took the rose in her hand. "It's really pretty."

She could see his mocking grin, despite the fact she was looking at the flower. He leaned toward her "You thought I was going to use my sly moves to kiss you, huh?" he said teasingly.

She pouted looking to him. "Well, now, you lost your chance of getting a kiss." She said wanting to tease him right back.

He laughed "That's ok." Daniel went and tossed the food containers in the trash. When he walked over he held out a cookie to her. She smiled and was about to take it, when held it away from her "Only if I get a kiss"

She stuck her tongue out at him "Meanie"

He looked offended "How am I the mean one? I got you a beautiful flower, and I'm trying to give you a cookie."

"Mhm"

He laughed and sat next to her on the bench and leaned back. He pulled her against him, and put his arm around her shoulder. "This is much better. I didn't like all those boxes in the middle of us! They were getting in the way!" he said in a mock threatening manner. She looked to him and started laughing finding him just way too adorable.

"Can I have my cookie now?" she asked with a smirk.

He grinned "Can I have my kiss now?"

"There a children playing around us." She said as she brought her arm around him hugging him closer to her. He wrapped his arm around her more "Excuses, excuses. I'll get my kiss one way or another." He gave her the cookie.

After they ate their cookies, Daniel looked to his watch, a smile spreading. "We still have some time to kill"

Betty smiled "Yess"

"Race you to the swings!" he suggested playfully getting up. She grinned and got up. He smiled getting ready to start running, when she pointed behind him "Oo, Daniel look, there's a rainbow!"

Just as he looked she started sprinting to the swings. He started to run quickly "Cheater!"

She laughed as he tried to grab her as he was catching up, but she dodged him, making him trip. She started to laugh.

"I'm so getting you back, missy!" he called after her. Just when she thought she got to the swings first, out of nowhere he tackles her to the floor. "Oww! Daniel, that hurt!" she smacked his shoulder.

He laughed "That's what you get for cheating!"

She laughed "Meanie! I would never tackle you"

He raised his eyebrow "Liar!"

She laughed "So"

He grinned "So"

She smiled getting entirely swept in him. He was just so beautiful. She felt so happy to have him be her best friend, her love. He was obviously swept in the moment just as she was; his silence and the look in his eyes taking her breath away.

Daniel couldn't take his eyes off Betty. She was just so beautiful. He loved seeing her pretty luminescent smile, and the light in her eyes, the glow of light that seemed to emanate whenever he looked at her.

Betty bit her lip "We should probably get up" she whispered taking him out of his daze only for a moment to respond. He nodded "probably"

"It's the middle of the day" she informed, her voice getting softer.

He nodded, his eyes not leaving hers for even a second "mhm"

She felt butterflies everywhere. "We might get in trouble" she warned, while her hand moved softly up his arm.

"Mhm" he mumbled.

"The kids" she reiterated.

He just continued to stare at her; she bit her lip when his gaze fell to her lips. She felt her heart begin to race.

Daniel couldn't move; he felt frozen in place, locked to Betty. Just as he was about to kiss her, the ball hits him in the side "Ahh"

Betty gasped in shock "huh, Are you okay?"

He laughed and started to sit up, picking up the soccer ball. Betty sat up, biting her lip.

The kid that Daniel kicked the ball to every time ran over to them and apologized "Sorry"

Daniel held the ball out to him "That's ok. Have fun."

The little boy smiled, taking the ball in his hand and ran off shouting "Thank you...again!" his laugh sweet and playful.

Betty giggled and took a hold Daniel's arm as he watched the little boy join his group of friends. She smiled finding him so sweet. She placed a kiss to his cheek. "You will make the most amazing father someday"

He smiled and looked to her "You think so?"

She nodded "Mhm"

He lifted his hand to her face pushing back her hair, and lightly traced a petal of the rose she stuck in her hair. "You will make the best mom"

She blushed looking away for a moment. She bit her lip and looked to him "Maybe we should...try"

A bright smile swept his face "to have a baby?" he asked, the excitement in his voice heartwarming.

She smiled and nodded, "mhm"

His eyes seemed to shine brighter, and she felt a rush of butterflies looking at him. He lifted her hand and placed a kiss. "I would...really love that" he said in a soft voice, as if he was embarrassed or nervous to admit.

Betty took hold of his jacket and pulled him close to meet his lips with a kiss. His hand lifted to rest at her cheek as he kissed her back. She melted into him, her heart skipping at the feeling he gave her. He was so sweet and wonderful.

She knew that Daniel wanted to have kids, and knew he was ready whenever she was. She always figured she'd know when she was ready; and hearing how sweet Daniel was and just how patient he'd always been, the fact that they'd been married for several months, she figured this was a perfect time for them to try and have a baby. The thought of having a baby with Daniel made her heart skip.

She lifted her hand to his face and gave him one more small kiss. As she pulled away from him, a grin swept his face "Told you I'd get my kiss"

She laughed and hugged him "I love you, Daniel."

He laughed and wrapped his arms around her. "I love you, Betty. Hey, let's play on the swings for a few minutes before we have to go back to work. Man, I can't wait until we're working together again."

She nodded "Me too"

After they played on the swings for a little bit, Daniel dropped Betty off, "Thanks for lunch today. It was great." He placed a kiss to her cheek, but as he was pulling away, she grabbed his face and kissed him passionately, her kiss surprising him for a moment, before he completely lost himself in her. He wrapped his arms around her dipping her back enough to make her laugh. He grinned as he looked at her face finding her smile so breathtaking. "I love you, Betty."

She sighed, getting entirely enamored with him "I love you, too."

He let her stand back up. She seemed like she was in a daze, because her voice came out light and soft "See you later"

He got in the car; as he was about to close the door to leave, he paused and jumped out, "Betty, forget this! I'm coming back to work with you! I'm the freaking CEO of MEADE! I can do whatever the hell I want to do! And that means leaving for a few hours to support my wife. At least I'm not whoring around like my dad used to! I've been working my ass off for six months running a company I don't even want!" he said, the sternness in his declaration throwing her for a moment.

He lifted his hand to her face, looking at her eyes "I want to work with you" his sincerity caused her eyes to tear up.

"You deserve better than this lame newspaper that barely recognizes all the amazing inspiring things you write. We left London because you said you missed New York and said you could find something just as great here. That greatness is not this lame newspaper, or me working at MEADE all the freaking time; it's us Betty. Us working together"

Betty bit her lip to keep from crying. She listened to his heartfelt words, her heart expanding with everything he said.

He smirked "I've been trying so hard to keep what I've been working on a secret because I want it to be perfect, but I figure you might as well know, because it's the only thing I've been working on. I'm going to make your dream come true, Betty, but now, it's not only your dream, it's mine, too."

He smiled seeing the glossiness in her eyes and the amazed look she had on her face. He held her face "Imagine how lucky our kids would be to have parents that have the kind of love that we have."

At Daniel's words, tears slid down Betty's face. She was in awe of the beauty in what he was saying. "I love you so much" she said feeling that those words were insufficient in expressing how much she really did love him.

He smiled "I love you, too"

She pulled back to see his face "for better or worse" she said with a smirk.

He grinned "Always better, right?"

"Always" She laughed and pulled him down for a kiss.

Hope you enjoy! :D
