Chapter 7 – Laughing in Love

Daniel was no doubt in love with his best friend and most favorite person, Betty. He knew he had deep feelings for her and thought the world of her, but after their date, having fun, laughing, talking, eating dinner, dancing, just being together, he was no doubt in love with her. He couldn't wait to see her and her beautiful smile this morning. In fact, he couldn't quite get himself to fall asleep thinking about seeing that smile again. Daniel wore his best shirt and nice pants and wore the cologne that Betty said she liked on him. He couldn't stop thinking about Betty. Here he was sitting in his office early trying to keep himself occupied until it was time for Betty to come to work.

After Betty went home last night she had time to let everything that happened yesterday sink in. She couldn't quite believe that all that happened. She and Daniel had an amazing 'date' and she couldn't help but smile real big just thinking about everything that he did for her and said to her. It was amazing. She felt wonderful. She never knew that loving, yes, loving, Daniel Meade could feel so great and make her feel so complete. She could see in his eyes that he was being sincere about every single thing he said to her. She couldn't imagine a more perfect 'Not' Valentine's. She couldn't help but giggle every time she thought about that. Only he could make something so dorky seem absolutely charming and romantic. Daniel Meade actually liked her. All this thinking and feeling remarkable made her unable to fall asleep until really late into the night, but she still woke up super early to make Daniel a little special something to show him how she felt about him. She knew when she walked into his office; he was going to be in for a surprise, too.

Daniel was sitting in his office, working on what he was supposed to work on days ago. That was the plus side of not being able to fall asleep and coming into the office early. "Daniel" Betty said happily walking into his office.

"Betty" Daniel said before he had a chance to look up.

When he looked up, he was blown away by what he saw walking toward him. "Wow, wow, wow!" Daniel responded to her appearance and how amazing she looked. She wasn't wearing her glasses, her hair was wavy and flowing along her shoulders, and God, her dress was absolutely stunning, a deep orange bronz-ish halter dress that flattered her Latin features beautifully, flowing about four inches above her knees, and that smile; that is what made her a knock-out.

"Wow, I get three wows?" Betty laughed.

He stood up and came around his desk planting a sweet kiss on her cheek. He stepped back to look at her again. "I'm sorry, Betty, but did I already say wow! You look... stunning!" He knew that wasn't enough to describe how fantastic she looked.

Betty was practically beaming. Daniel felt like his heart would stop soon. "Wow, what on earth did I do in life to deserve that smile? God, you're beautiful" he said absolutely stunned with words. Betty smiled even brighter if that was possible. "What are you? Why are you?" Daniel brought his hand to his face in embarrassment for not being able to speak "Why are you here so early?" he finally managed to say.

Betty held up a HUGE card for him. Daniel laughed.

"It's silly, but I woke up really early this morning to make you this, because I knew I wouldn't be able to find something quite good enough to tell you how I felt."

Daniel smiled and held the card. The front in really wacky colorful writing read 'You are my most favorite person', with a really awesome colored metallic design along the borders. He smiled and opened it to see "EVER" written in big writing to cover the entire page in blue. He laughed and looked on the back of the card, his smile getting brighter. Betty smiled from seeing his smile. It read "Daniel Meade I freaking LOVE YOU!' with Daniel Meade in one line, I freaking in cursive and then 'LOVE YOU' really big underneath in bold block letters with tiny notes in the spaces. He would have to read them later. Daniel looked up at her, a huge smile on his face, getting even bigger seeing her brilliant smile. It was unbelievable how bright it was.

"You love me?" he asked, his eyes bright, looking like blue sparkling stars.

"YES!" She smiled "I know it's probably insane. I mean we just said we liked each other last night, but everything you did and said, it was all so beautiful and perfect and I had an amazing time and you're my best friend and I just feel so, wow, and we're so, we just, and you're just so-" before she could finish Daniel met her lips for an intense breathtaking passionate kiss. He looked at her eyes "I love you, too" he smiled brightly. After a few seconds of being enraptured in his eyes and losing her breath, Betty giggled "That's a fun way to shut me up! I know I ramble a lot when I get nervous so, thank you" Daniel kissed her again, moving away to see her dazed smile.

"I realized I love you, too, Betty. I mean we just work well together in everything we do. We fit. We're best friends and last night was beyond amazing and fun. I can't do that with anyone. And I just found out you're an amazing kisser" he winked at her. Betty blushed. "So, I DEFINITELY love you! And look at you! I'm sorry to be an idiot but WOW! Why do you look so amazing?" he asked curiously bringing his hands around her waist holding her a little closer.

"Because you convinced me I'm pretty, so this is pretty much my way of saying thank you."

"Well, you are definitely more than pretty, Betty. You're absolutely breath-taking and gorgeous. God, you're perfect. I mean this 100%, you are BETTER than any model, Betty." Betty smiled brilliantly. "I LOVE that smile." He kissed her cheek. Betty smiled brighter and kissed him deeply bringing her hands to his face. Daniel held her closer lifting her up slightly. Betty giggled as she kissed him again. Daniel dipped her back a little and placed kisses all along her neck making her giggle uncontrollably, and making him laugh as he tried to kiss her, but laughing against her skin making Betty laugh more because of how ticklish she was. Claire had suddenly walked in to see them. Betty kissed him again giggling as he tickled her.

"Ehhmm" Claire cleared her throat trying to get their attention. It took them a minute of laughing to realize that someone else was in the office. They looked to her completely un-phased. "Mind telling me what's going on?" she asked curiously an almost thrilled smile on her face. Betty looked up at Daniel, her arms still around his midsection. "Why don't you tell your mom how we celebrated NOT Valentine's day?" she brought her hand to his face and patted it sweetly. He smiled and kissed her hand. Claire looked intrigued. "Not Valentine's day?" she asked curiously.

"Yeah, well, Betty is so special that I thought it made no sense that I could only show her how much I 'LIKED HER'" he looked at Betty with a grin; she smiled "only on Valentine's day, so I decided to do all that stuff on NOT Valentine's day." He kissed her sweetly.

Claire looked at them with a huge smile on her face. She walked over to them and included herself in their embrace by wrapping her arms around them. They both laughed at her. Betty let go of Daniel momentarily to give Claire a proper hug, when Claire kissed her cheek. "It's about time, Daniel." She looked to him slapping his face very lightly and then pinching it. Betty giggled.

"Betty, you look absolutely stunning my dear" she said holding her hand and taking a step back to admire her appearance. "Thank you" Betty blushed which made Claire smile.

"You two look wonderful laughing and being together" she said with a grin. Daniel rolled his eyes.

"Good bye" she said amused as she walked out of his office. Betty giggled looking at Daniel. "So, everyone knew that you liked me, except you?" she asked with her eyebrow raised. "What?" he asked confused.

"Marc knew you liked me, Amanda knew you liked me, your mom knows you liked me... they all pretty much made it seem like you would never figure it out."

"Well, you didn't seem to know I liked you either, Betty." he held her close to him again. "I do now" she said smiling.

"One thing though Betty..."

"What?" she asked curiously running her hand along his arm. "That's not exactly true"

"What?" she asked looking at his eyes. "...that I like you." He said simply.

"WHAT?" she looked at him confusion and slight panic in her eyes. He grinned so big, Betty raised her eyebrow in wonder. "I LOVE you!" he said and kissed her sweetly. Betty smiled looking at his eyes. She wrapped her arms around his neck. "I love you, Daniel." She smiled and kissed him.

"Betty" he said with a grin.

"What?" she looked at him with a smirk. "I have something for you." Betty smiled in anticipation. He pulled out a bracelet from his pants pocket and held it up to her. "Happy friendship day" he said with a smile. "Aww...that's so sweet" Betty smiled as he put the blue and purple patterned band around her wrist and clipped it.

"I don't have one for you." She said with a slight frown. He smiled a pulled out another one, his had Betty stitched on it. "Aww, that's so cute. Why doesn't mine have Daniel?" She asked sadly. He smiled and kissed her lips softly. "God, you're so adorable. I love you" He pulled out another one with his name stitched on it. Betty started laughing hysterically. "You see, this is why I love you. You just know what I'm going to say or do or think. You're perfect" She kissed him deeply making him crazy. When she moved away, he placed her 'Daniel' bracelet on her wrist with the other one, and then Betty took his with 'Betty' stitched on it and placed it around his wrist. "I love you, Daniel. Happy friendship day" She smiled and wrapped her arms around him hugging him tightly.

"I love you, Betty." he smiled holding her tighter.
