Chapter 7 – Wonderful Surprise

The town car stopped a little while later. "You wait right here." Daniel said getting out of the car quickly. Betty laughed wondering what he was doing. In a matter of a few seconds he was on her side and opened the door for her, making a gesture like a prince or king. She laughed. "You're so silly."

He shot her a charming smile and held his hand out for her. She smiled taking it and slid out of the car. "Thank you." He took her hand and they walked for a short time through the park. At one moment they stopped and Daniel pulled out a blue bandana. Suddenly Daniel laughed and Betty looked at him curiously. "What are you laughing about?" she asked looking at the bandana and back at him, an amused expression on her face. "Betty, you'll probably laugh and I'll try to keep a straight face...uh...I made up a short rhyme."

"Okay?" she looked at him interested.

"Miss, I have this bandana to cover your eyes, so please play along for the wonderful surprise." He said with a grin. Betty laughed. "That was really cute, Daniel." She giggled "You came up with that yourself?" she asked intrigued. "Yep" he said proudly. She laughed again thinking he was such a charming dork.

Daniel placed the bandana around her eyes and tied it in the back lightly. He took her hand in his and walked for a short distance and stopped.

"Ok, are you ready for the surprise, Betty?" he asked placing his hand lightly on her shoulder which made Betty feel numbing tingles all over her body. "Mhm" she responded in a daze.

Daniel touched her back gently and pulled the tie in the back and removed the bandana. Betty opened her eyes and they immediately turned bright, she gasped in surprise at what was in front of her. She turned around to face him. "This is beautiful, Daniel." There was a small round table set for two with candles, sitting next to a tree that was decorated in hanging lanterns. Daniel smiled. She looked at the set-up again and smiled. "This is amazing!" she looked to Daniel again and hugged him.

She pulled back to look at him "Are you always this charming with girls?"

"Betty, I promise you, I have only done something like this for you...and my mom. I feel bad to say, but other girls are too superficial all I have to do with them is take them to a fancy restaurant, but Betty, I'm not just going out with you to use you or anything. I really want this to be a real date Betty. You're not just some cheap girl." Betty smiled "Thank you" she hugged him to her tighter. "So, you want to have dinner?" he asked looking at her.

"Okay." Daniel took her hand and pulled out the chair for her. "Thank you" Betty said amused. Betty looked at the tree and the lanterns hanging from it, the light flickering giving the tree a glowing quality. Daniel watched her admire the tree. He thought she looked so beautiful, the lanterns gently coloring her face with a soft light. He felt his heart race and his palms sweat again. He took a deep breath. She looked at him with an appreciative look. "How did you do all of this? It's so pretty." Daniel smiled. "Well, I came here right after I left MODE and set it up. Although the lanterns I've been working on for a few days."

"Really? Wow. It's so beautiful" She said looking up at the tree again. She felt her heart melt and had a tingly sensation all through her body. She looked at him again and smiled. "I got the lanterns from this antique shop I passed by. I saw them in the window and thought they looked so cool...and actually the owner's wife painted them. I told her you like butterflies and she painted butterflies on some of them. It's kind of hard to see, but..."

"Oh my God..." she was already out of her chair trying to get a closer look at the lanterns "Wow, you did all of that? For me?" Betty asked surprised still looking up at them. Daniel got up and put his hand lightly on her shoulder "I told you Betty, I'd do anything to see that smile of yours. And I wanted to show you how much I appreciate you." Betty felt her heart do that melty thing again and she wondered if all those butterflies on the lanterns were floating around inside her. How she felt like a school girl with a huge crush she didn't understand, let alone all because of her best friend and boss of over three years. She turned to look at him not even knowing what to say. "Daniel...why are you doing all of this for me?" She asked wondering how they were even here like this...this new thing between them.

Daniel held her arms gently "Betty, you have done way more than you probably ever should have for me...and you mean a lot to me. I realized that I care about you more than I ever really knew. I don't know how all these feelings started coming, but I'm kind of crazy about you, Betty." She looked at his eyes, not knowing what to say. She was truly speechless. She smiled, but then looked down blushing. She looked back up at him, her eyes filled with something he couldn't define. He looked at her with an odd smile. "Why are you blushing?" he asked curiously with a wondrous glimmer in his eyes.

Betty wanted to laugh thinking he was so cute. "I want to ask you something..."

"Okay?" he looked at her curiously.

"Umm...can I um...kiss you?" Betty asked bashfully, her face turning rosy.

A huge smile came to his face, and he decided he would answer her question right away. He definitely didn't want to disappoint his lovely date. He surprised her by pulling her to him by her waist and meeting her lips for a kiss, dipping her back slightly. At first Betty was surprised but then brought her arms around his neck and pulled him to her so much that they ended up falling backwards. "Oww" Betty squealed in pain as he landed on her.

He looked at her and began to laugh. Betty's face turned bright red. "You must think I'm such a dork." Betty said embarrassed, trying to avoid looking at his eyes although that was pretty difficult since he was on top of her.

He just started laughing more. "God, Betty, you are so adorable. See, this is why I'm crazy about you" he said laughing again. Betty smiled, her arms still wrapped around his neck, she pulled him back to her for another breathtaking kiss...

AN: hehe clumsy Betty! :) I couldn't help it! lol ;) I'll try to get the last part of their date up tonight.
