I know I said I'd finish the story there, but I have now officially finished my exams (as of today) and I feel like I should be writing the rest of this as you guys have been so loyal and wonderful with your reviews. Of course I absolutely don't deserve any reviews after not updating for months, but if you would like to review please feel free to. And I apologize for it being so short.

I don't own anything to do with Ugly Betty, nor will I ever, unfortunately. I do however, own Adam.

Hope you like this chapter,

Phia


'Honey, have you seen my earrings?' Betty called from the bedroom where she was frantically searching.

'Which ones?' Was the response from the kitchen.

'The ones you bought me for my birthday, those long, blue, sparkly ones, the ones that matched that necklace.' Betty called back, knowing it was probably hopeless asking a guy where anything was.

'I think I saw them in the bathroom, on the counter, next to your make up bag.' He called as he headed upstairs to help look for them. He entered the bathroom seeing Betty standing having put her, now found, earrings in and attempting to put her necklace on.

She smiled into the mirror as she saw her boyfriend of six months come in and help her do the clasp on her necklace up. His hand rested on her neck as he asked if she was ready yet.

'Yeah, I think so. Do I look alright?' Betty asked, not convinced. He kissed her neck lightly as he mumbled something about her looking absolutely gorgeous.

Betty turned round to face Adam and brought his lips down to hers.

'Come on,' Adam said as he pulled away from Betty while taking her hand. 'We'll be late.' And with that he dragged her out of the bathroom before she could fuss and scrutinize anymore.


'Thanks for a wonderful evening Christina.' Adam said as he held Betty against his side with his arm casually wrapped around her waist.

'Yeah, it was really great, and I'll call you tomorrow to tell you what we find on those cruise details, okay?' Betty asked, a smile on her face, but her eyes looking tired.

'Okay then, you two take care then. I'll speak to you tomorrow.' Christina said as she closed the door on their retreating backs.

'Do you want to go straight home, or do you want to stop off by the store and rent a movie?' Adam asked as he guided Betty to the car, making sure she was safely in the passenger seat, before walking around and getting into the drivers seat.

'I'd really like to just go home and go to sleep, you don't mind do you?' Betty asked, she was exhausted, she'd been away from work for the past week and half with the flu and today was the first day she had felt ok, and now she was tired again.

'No, that's ok honey. I'll drop you off at yours then, ok?' Adam asked as he started the car.

'Yeah, that would be good, thanks.' She said while leaning against the headrest and closing her eyes. She was asleep by the time they arrived at home, so Adam carried her inside and laid her on her bed.


The next morning Betty woke with a start as her alarm clock went off. She was late. It was her first day back, and she was late. She cursed and went about getting ready.

Only ten minutes late, Betty rushed into MODE and hurried to her desk, started up the computer and struggled out of her coat. Although Betty was late there really weren't that many people around, which she was thankful for as she went about organising folders and checking emails.

There was just one problem that she had completely forgotten about, until it was too late.

At half past eight, when it was still empty at MODE, a person Betty hadn't seen in seven months walked down the corridor.

Betty's heart stopped.

He's back? I thought he was coming back in June. Betty thought to herself. Looking at her calendar on the computer she searched for when he was supposed to arrive back.

Blinking at her furiously was the date June 6th. See, I was right. Then what is he doing back? She asked herself. Then she realised her mistake.

It was June 6th. She'd been ill, and lost track of the date. Crap she thought to herself. She wasn't ready for this, she never would be. There was no denying to herself that she still loved him with every fibre of her being, but she was with Adam now, and Adam was so sweet and caring.

'Betty?' A hand waved in front of her eyes. 'Earth to Betty.' The action was repeated. The voice stopped for a second, and Betty hoped it had gone away. 'Betty?' The voice whispered in her ear. This made her snap out of her trance, and spin round in her chair, knocking heads with the person who had whispered in her ear.

'Ow, hello to you too.' The voice said rubbing his forehead. Betty stared at him blankly.

'Daniel?'


Okay, you guys really have a right to hate me now. I was kicking myself as I was writing this, and screaming 'What the hell are you doing?' 'Let her be happy with Daniel, for crying out loud!' But no, my evil side took over and decided to be cruel. Please don't hate me.

But you'll have to read on to find out what happens next. Is Betty going to stay with Adam? Does Daniel even know about Adam? All is revealed in the next chapter.

In the mean time, feel free to review :D
