Chapter 8: Love Charm
When Daniel parted from Betty's kiss he couldn't help the possibly goofy-looking smile on his face. Betty bit her lip, a blush coloring her cheeks. She was so adorable. He grinned "You are way too adorable."
She looked down. It seemed she wasn't happy with his compliment. He tilted her chin up to make her look at him again "What? Did I say something wrong?"
She sighed and let go of him. "No. We should get going" she began to walk, but he grabbed her by the wrist and pulled her back to him "Hey, what happened? Please tell me."
She let out another sigh, but looked down, avoiding his eyes. "I'm never going to be beautiful, or hot or sexy. I'm just your adorable Betty"
He grinned and held her face. She lifted her eyes to him.
"Are you joking right now? Betty, didn't you hear me a minute ago? Isn't that why you kissed me? I told you how beautiful and pretty and gorgeous I think you are. You're so stunning. You have to know I mean all that. I wouldn't say it if it weren't true. I love you."
She looked at him with a small smile. He smiled "I said you were adorable because when you blush it is the sweetest reaction from you. It just...it makes me smile. I can bet you that you are wearing a sexy dress underneath this jacket. I'm just dying to see you completely"
She smirked "How do you know?"
He smirked "I'm a man. I can tell. And, well, I do work at a fashion magazine, Betty. It's a gift."
She giggled "right"
"I'm going to prove you are hot one way or another." He grinned making it obvious that he was checking her out.
She blushed and grabbed his hand "come on, you have to tell me what happened with psycho."
He groaned "God, again?"
She blushed "Well, I uh...I was very distracted before. All I heard was love and everything else sort of faded away." She said trying not to glance at him, feeling embarrassed. He grinned "Yeah" he sighed
Betty bit her lip, glancing at him quickly. He looked to her with a grin, and squeezed her hand warmly. She blushed, but tried to get back to reality "so, um...is Amanda ok?"
He nodded "Yeah, man, I feel so bad. I just...I wish I could have helped more. I..." Betty could see he was feeling upset about what happened, possibly just now realizing the danger they were in.
"I'm so glad you're ok. I don't know what I'd do with you" she said trying to fight back tears she felt wanting to surface.
He stopped walking. She looked to him, seeing the concerned look in his eyes. She moved closer and wrapped her arms around him. "We'll get through this. I'm glad you told me. We can do anything together"
Daniel pulled her in closer to him "I love you" he said, his voice and his declaration making her heart lift once more. Even though he already voiced that he loved her, hearing it again still had an effect on her.
"I love you"
He moved back and smiled at her "It feels so amazing hearing you say that back."
She bit her lip, trying to suppress her giggle at his happiness. He grinned, but asked "Are you hungry?"
She nodded "Yes, I'm starving. I've been too excited since this afternoon to eat anything" she said blushing as she remembered their heated kisses in his office, and his suggestion to break up with their- 'crazies'- to be together.
He grinned "I'm so happy to be with you" he said causing her stomach to flip. Why was he so sweet? It wasn't fair, especially when he was looking so hot tonight. The navy dress shirt and the grey jacket he was wearing were making his eyes this light blue color. She felt like she was looking into the sky.
And not only did he look so handsome, he nearly beat up someone to protect her, even though it was just silly Henry. Seeing him defend her the way he did was so sexy. She looked to him and smiled unknowingly letting out a sigh, which caused him to chuckle. "You're seriously cute." He said looking to her.
She blushed crimson.
Ten minutes later they were being seated in a private section of the restaurant Daniel decided to take her to. She was so excited when she saw that it was a Thai restaurant. When they were led to their table, Betty surprised Daniel by grabbing his hand just as he was about to sit down and pulled him to her meeting his lips with a kiss.
When she moved back, he looked at her with a goofy grin "What was that for?"
She grinned back "You know I love Thai food, Daniel. I'm so excited. I've never been here before. I've heard it's the best."
He grinned back and placed his hand to her waist pulling her closer to him "You're so..."
She looked at his eyes "Cute?"
He grinned "Well, yeah, but I was going to say charming. Is that better, missy?" he teased. She giggled pushing his shoulder playfully "Yes. I think you're charming, too"
He slipped his arm around her waist more and lifted his hand to the collar of her jacket "Can I take your jacket, now?"
She giggled "You just want to see my dress"
He nodded with a smirk as he let go of her "You know it. Now, hand it over!" he held his arm out. She giggled shaking her head, but decided to mess with him a bit. She slowly undid one button a time keeping her eyes on him.
His gaze was so electrifying. She felt as though her heartbeat was skipping with each button she released. When she was halfway, she bit her lip, pulling her jacket open just a little bit before she went to the next button.
Daniel could not get over how damn sexy Betty was. How the hell could she think she wasn't hot, because at this very moment, she was smoldering. How she opened her jacket teasingly, and the way she was biting her pouty lip was so sexy. He wanted to take those hot lips and give her a dizzying kiss; that is just how she was making him feel right now.
He tried to stay composed and said "You're such a tease."
Betty smirked as she undid the last button; he was obviously enjoying her 'teasing'. She couldn't believe that she was even attempting to be sexy. Strangely, she felt sexy. The way his eyes took her in intoxicated her. She pulled the jacket open and took it off, as gracefully as she could muster.
As she did, his eyes practically devoured her body. She felt shivers at the scintillating look in his eyes. She felt as though his eyes were kissing her skin. She could feel the heat from the path of his gaze as it traveled down. He was making her feel so hot, in more ways than one.
Daniel was internally overheating as he took in Betty and how incredibly freaking hot she looked in the body-hugging, very flattering, sexy red dress she was rocking. As she placed her jacket over his arm, he was momentarily rendered speechless.
Daniel was snapped out of the awestruck spell he was put under, when the waiter said "hello" as he walked back in their area. Daniel let out a breath, while Betty bit her lip as a blush colored her really pretty face. Daniel may have been snapped out of the spell, but was very quickly caught in another one by the charmer who slid into the booth at their table.
"Ehem? Uh...I'll come back" the waiter said, leaving quickly. Daniel stood motionless staring at Betty, who was biting her lip. He was sure she was just as flustered as he felt. "Daniel, um...are you uh...ok?" she said unable to keep from blushing.
He nodded "Uh...wow, woman, you are the hottest woman on this earth"
She looked at him in surprise. He seemed to regain his sense of consciousness, and grinned "I knew you looked hot. I could tell just from your hairstyle and your makeup." He said causing her to look at him with even more surprise.
He placed the jacket down, and walked toward her. Betty's heart was beating so fast. She couldn't keep up with it. And before she knew it Daniel had leaned over her and captured her lips in a hot kiss. She lifted her arm around his midsection pulling him closer, which caused him to lose his balance and fall over her in the booth. She giggled, feeling her cheeks flush, especially when he growled into her ear before he placed a kiss to her neck and cheek.
She giggled again "Daanieel, stop"
He laughed and sat up pulling her up with him "You're so sexy, Betty. God, where have you been hiding?"
She blushed looking down. He placed his hand to her cheek gently, making her look to him. "I, I don't know. I guess...I just always thought I was ugly. I never felt beautiful before. Until...well, you"
He smiled at her in the most heartwarming way. She bit her lip, feeling her eyes start to tear up. "You've always made me feel special in some way. I just never thought I would be beautiful enough for you"
He looked sad when she said that. "Betty, you're more than beautiful. I, part of me always felt this connection to you, like we were meant to be in each other's lives somehow. I didn't realize till very recently that it's more than that, that I love you. I'm the one that isn't enough for you. I think you're too good for me, honestly."
She smiled "the waiter's coming back."
He rolled his eyes "Ok, we should eat. I love you" he kissed her cheek before he got up and sat across from her.
As the waiter came back and told to them about specials, Betty was lost in her own world thinking about how amazing Daniel was. She was still in awe that she was on a date. With Daniel. Her Daniel.
AN :D
