Chapter 10 - Ride on Up

Betty and Daniel walked into the Meade Building holding hands. On the way Betty had asked Daniel whether they were going to hide the fact that they were together now or just be ok about it. She was happy to hear that Daniel wasn't embarrassed to keep her a secret, although it would be kind of fun to sneak around with Daniel, she thought.

Just as they were about to get on the elevator Betty pulled him aside. "You know Daniel, I was kind of thinking it might be kind of fun to keep this a secret for a while. Imagine us sneaking around ...trying to find ways to be together in the office...you know, be creative" she said raising her eyebrow. Daniel raised his eyebrow in curiosity of what her 'creativity' might be. He looked at her for a moment. "It does sound like it could be pretty fun...definitely...creative" he said with a grin. Betty laughed.

"Okay...I guess we could try it out." He added.

"Okay..." Betty was about to kiss him, but pulled back. He smirked.

"This is going to be harder than I thought" Betty said with smile. "Don't worry, Betty. If you can't take it anymore, you are more than welcome to waltz in my office and attack me. I give you permission" he said teasingly. "Alright, alright...cool your jets hot stuff." A grin came across his face. "You haven't called me that in a while."

"Well, I guess the fact that we're sneaking around is making you even hotter right now" she winked and walked to the elevator. Daniel took a deep breath and followed her in the elevator.

After a few seconds Daniel glanced over at Betty thinking she was so gorgeous. He looked her up and down again thinking that dress looked amazing on her. He was glad she wore it. He kind of liked that they were sort of matching. It was like they were a team again. He glanced at her and saw her looking ahead and then to her phone, her hair coming in front of her face slightly as she looked down, she looked back up and then back to her phone biting her lip. He couldn't take it after that. He turned Betty to him and kissed her passionately, his arms holding her tightly to him around her waist. At first Betty was surprised, but then she wrapped her arms around him getting lost in the kiss. Everyone in the elevator looked at them in surprise. The two girls that saw them two weeks ago started whispering to each other... When they parted Betty looked up at him surprised, but with a slight grin.

His hand still around her waist, he looked at her and said "Betty, I don't think I can hide the fact that you're my girlfriend now. You're just too beautiful. I want everyone to know you're mine." He said holding her close. Betty looked up at his eyes and a smile swept across her face. "You ...just keep getting sweeter and sweeter" she whispered then kissed him. They stood there in the elevator, her forehead against his just looking into his eyes. They didn't care that people that got on and off the elevator were looking at them. When they got closer to the floor they pulled apart but held hands.

Betty never felt the elevator go up so slowly. It was like they were in a daze. Suddenly they reached the MODE floor and walked out, the two girls coming out too. One of the girls, a tall slender blond, stopped in front of Betty and Daniel "I kept telling Lizzie over there that you two were in love with each other, but she wouldn't listen. Anyways, just wanted to wish you the best"

"Thanks" Betty responded somewhat surprised of how nice she was. She wondered whether she was a model and where in MODE she worked. Betty looked up at Daniel. "That was interesting."

Daniel laughed "So, Betty I don't know how we're going to do this. I don't want to be away from you." He said with sorrowful eyes. "You're so silly, Daniel. I'll see you at the meeting in a few hours and then there's lunch. Maybe I'll stop by your office randomly and surprise you."

"Mmm, can't wait for that surprise." He said with a grin.

A second later he sighed "This is going to be hard. Are you sure you can't just go back to being my assistant." He said running his hand affectionately along her arm. She looked at him and smiled "As much as that sounds like fun, I like being an editor." She laughed as a pout came to his face. "Come on, Daniel, I can't stay attached to you all day."

"Why not? Sounds like a great idea to me."

Betty rolled her eyes. "Daniel, come on. We have..." Betty looked at her watch "...two hours until the meeting and then lunch, and..." a flirting smile came to her face "...I'll try and surprise you... only if you're good Daniel, now go and get some work done, hot stuff." She winked at him.

"Hot stuff?" Amanda said as she looked at them. "Are you two together now?" She asked as she looked at where Daniel's hands were on her and raised her eyebrow looking to back to Betty and Daniel.

"Oh, uh..." Betty looked at Daniel...there was no real way they could deny it now...especially since Daniel's hand was rather low on her back and his other hand on her arm. "Yes." Daniel said looking to Amanda. Amanda looked at Betty with a grin "Well, have fun."

"Listen Amanda, can you keep this on the down low. We don't really want anyone to know yet. We kind of like that this is just between the two of us for now." Daniel said removing his hand from Betty's back.

"Oh, I get it. You guys want to keep it a secret so you can be all hot for each other. That's fine. But I'm sooo telling Marc."

"Okay, but ONLY Marc. Please tell him to keep it quiet. Just for today" Betty said knowing how she and Marc couldn't really keep secrets.

"Alright, alright. I'm sure you two will blow it before Marc and I do anyways. We can't guarantee that we won't say anything by the end of the day. So you have today. That's it." Betty and Daniel rolled their eyes "fine!" they both said.

"Oo, you two are cute. Already so into each other that you're dressing alike and say the same things. Good luck" she winked and sashayed away. Daniel rolled his eyes and looked to Betty. "So, you think we can make it through the day?" he asked with a smirk.

Betty laughed. "I guess we'll find out." She winked with a flirting smile. "...Hot stuff."
