Chapter 10
"Mr. Meade...Miss Betty…" the driver realized that his passengers fell asleep shortly after their arrival to Betty's home. He had tried to wake them on and off for the past two hours, but had no luck as they seemed to be in a deep sleep. He hated to do it, but he placed his hand to the center of his wheel causing the horn to sound.
They both waked at the startling sound. "I'm terribly sorry to wake you both in such a way, but I have been trying and this seemed the only way!" Stephen told them.
"Uhh...oh God, we fell asleep! Oh, we're going to be so late!" Betty stated in realization, seeing that it was nearly 8 in the morning.
Daniel groaned "Uh...damn! I uh...I'm sorry, sweetie. It was just so cozy having you hug me and I guess I just dozed off, myself."
Betty smiled at how sweet he sounded, but shook her head, "That's ok, Daniel."
"Betty, Why don't you go and get changed and I'll stay here. We can go to work together?"
Betty smiled as she looked at him "Are you sure? What about you?"
He shrugged "I can find something in the closet. Besides, this just means we get to spend more time together" he said with a grin.
She bit her lip "Ok, but remember our deal, ok?"
He rolled his eyes "Ok, I'll be on my best behavior. Scouts honor"
She shook her head "Yeah right!" she laughed and quickly got out of the car. When she got inside the house, her sister was already awake, and was coming down the stairs "Betty! Wow mami! You beat your own record"
"What?" Betty asked in confusion.
Hilda grinned "It's well past 5 in the morning. It's nearly 8. I'd say you had an all night and morning date!"
"Hilda! Cut it out! We didn't do anything. We just talked most of the night and we fell asleep in the town car on the way back"
Hilda winked at her "Sure Betty!"
"It's true! Whatever, I have to get changed, or we are going to be so late!" she said and rushed past her sister up the stairs.
Hilda laughed, shaking her head.
Daniel was waiting in the car thinking about Betty and how much fun he had with her. He couldn't wait for their date. He wondered what he could do to make their night more special.
He had to try and keep his attraction to her to a minimum. How the hell was he supposed to do that, though? She was such a gorgeous sexy beautiful woman. His Betty! He grinned, feeling like such a lucky guy.
The door to the car opened and in came Betty holding the bouquet of roses. Once she placed them down between them, his eyes went wide "What the hell are you wearing?!" his heart jumping in his body at the sight of her. She looked so hot!
She had taken her hair down and curled her hair, making it look lustrous and beautiful. She was was wearing her glasses, but her eyes were highlighted by black liner. Not to mention the black pencil skirt she was wearing was very flattering to her sexy curves, and the red button up shirt made her look so gorgeous. Something about her in red just got his heart racing.
She looked at herself "What? Do I look bad?"
"Are you crazy? You look so hot! Are you trying to kill me today!? This is so not fair!"
She bit her lip looking down "I'm sorry. This was the nicest thing I had to wear here."
He sighed "You're so evil, Betty! my undercover goddess, how the hell am I supposed to keep my hands off you?!" he stated in exasperation.
She blushed "Um...I" she looked to him, feeling butterflies at the way he was looking at her. Those eyes of his taking her in. He was the hot one! His shirt was undone at the top, his sleeves rolled up. He looked devilishly handsome. She looked away feeling her body burning up just seeing him look so hot.
Stephen laughed and said "Shall I get going?"
Betty blushed and Daniel said "Yeah, I guess."
Betty bit her lip glancing at Daniel, finding him so cute right now. He looked like a child who couldn't have any candy. She smirked slightly. Truthfully, she felt so excited that Daniel found her attractive. What was it that he called her? Some undercover goddess? That was so...exciting! And flattering! She couldn't deny how amazing that made her feel.
Daniel's heart was beating erratically. His Betty was driving him insane with her hotness. How the hell was he supposed to 'behave himself' when she was looking so damn beautiful?
He glanced at her, as she was looking out the window. He smirked, he was so going to get her back. If she was going to seduce him all day with her hotness, he was going to make it damn hard for her to resist him.
When they made it to Meade, they went to his mother's office, and surprisingly found her there. "Mom! What are you doing here so early?"
"Daniel! Betty! Oh!" she quickly embraced her son, but saw the giant bouquet of roses Betty was carrying.. "It's not that early. What is this?"
Betty smiled "well, Mrs. Meade, these are for you! We just wanted you to know how much we both love and care about you, and that you're very special to us"
Claire smiled brightly "Aww, how darling of you, Betty!" She placed her arm around this young lady who was like a daughter to her. She felt so happy that her son realized that Betty was the woman for him.
Betty smiled. "Daniel is very sweet. He wanted to make you happy."
Daniel smiled, finding Betty so adorable. He loved her so much. It made him feel immensely proud that she was his girl.
Claire looked at her son "Thank you my charming son! I'm so happy that I have you" she held his face and placed a kiss to his forehead. He smiled "Thanks mom. I love you" he hugged her, wanting her to know how much she meant to him.
"Seeing you and Betty together makes more happy than you know. She is a delightful young lady.."
Daniel grinned at Betty when his mom called her delightful. "So, mom, speaking of delightful, did you know that Mr. Dunne came all the way over here from London to ask Betty to work with him?"
Betty bit her lip, trying not to smile so much. Claire nodded "Oh yes, congratulations Betty! I think that's wonderful. Anyone who works with you is lucky to have you. It seemed that you charmed him with your vibrant personality."
Betty felt her heart race. She still didn't know what to do about that news, but figured she'd focus on Mrs. Meade now. "Thanks Mrs. Meade. Um, actually Mr. Dunne said that about you." Daniel nodded "Yeah, mom, he met me and told me how delightful and charming you are."
"Is that so?" she asked with her eyebrow raised, wondering why her son and Betty were telling her this.
They both nodded "I think he was quite taken with you Mrs. Meade" Betty said.
Claire smiled "Well…" Daniel's eyes widened "Mom! Are you blushing?! Holy crap!" he said feeling surprised to see his mom blush. He didn't think he ever saw her do that.
Betty looked to Daniel with a small amused smile. Claire's face reddened further, but she said "Don't be silly, Daniel! That man is British. It's simply the way they speak, all 'charming' and 'delightful'. He said the same thing about Betty! Does that mean he likes her?"
Daniel looked to Betty "See, I told you, Betty! He was just being nice!"
"Daniel! Come on!" Betty rolled her eyes.
Claire looked at them, and let out a sigh "Betty's right"
"What?" they both looked at her. Claire shrugged "The man came to my office after he left you, Betty, and...asked me to accompany him for coffee."
"Coffee?" Daniel said "Is that code for sex or something?"
"Daniel!" both Betty and Claire smacked him "Oww! What the hell?" he rubbed his arm.
"No, it means coffee, dear!" she shook her head. "So, did you go, Mrs. Meade?" Betty asked curiously. Claire nodded "I did. He is quite charming. But, I think it'd be best if we remain friends. He's in London and things might get complicated. Things are complicated enough for me, here."
Betty nodded in understanding, feeling that whenever she thought about Mr. Dunne's offer it made things feel more complicated for her. Daniel shrugged. "Alright mom, we just want you to be happy."
Claire smiled and patted her son's cheek "Thank you dear. I appreciate the thoughts. You know what would make me happy?"
He shrugged "Killing Wilhelmina?" he smirked. She laughed, but said "Actually, if you could try being friends with Tyler."
Daniel let out a sigh "Mom! I tried that already! He didn't want anything to do with me!"
Claire frowned "Daniel, I'm afraid Wilhelmina is getting to him. He seems not the same as when I met him in South Dakota."
Daniel sighed "What could I do? I tried to be...his brother, but he basically threw me out."
Betty placed her hand to his shoulder "Maybe you and I can talk to him together, Daniel? He was really nice when I met him. Maybe he just didn't think you were being sincere."
Daniel smiled as he looked at Betty. "Fine, but you're my girl"
Betty rolled her eyes "Daniel! I'm not going to ask him out. We're just going to talk to him!"
Claire laughed "Daniel, you're quite adorable when you get jealous, dear!"
"Mom! please, I'm not jealous. He's just some silly cowboy"
Claire and Betty both smiled. "I remember how jealous you were that I was talking to him before. That I was on team Tyler" Betty teased.
Claire laughed. Daniel made a face "Cut it out, Betty! How would you like it if I hung around Trista?"
Betty glared at him "That is so different Daniel! For one thing I'm not interested in dating Tyler! At least Tyler isn't as idiotic as stupid Trista, Miss blessing in the skies! You know what? maybe I should ask him out. At least he won't make me dumb!" Betty shoved the roses to Daniel and stormed away.
"Betty!" he called after her.
Claire watched in amusement. Clearly Daniel struck a nerve with Betty. Her son was idiotic at times. "What are you waiting for?! Go after her!" Claire said taking the roses from him.
He nodded and started to go, but came back over to his mom. "Uh, maybe I should take a couple of these?" he took several roses and rushed off after Betty.
She laughed, shaking her head at her silly son.
"Betty!" Daniel caught up to her "Wait up, sweetie! Come on, I was just joking!" She ignored him and kept going. Damn, his Betty was fast. She was too quick and got in the elevator before he could even catch up to her enough.
When Betty reached her desk she placed her bag down, in frustration. Daniel was such a big jerk! Stupid Trista! Ugh! She felt angry.
Marc looked at her in surprise, came over and said "Woah! What is with you? Who got your chalupas hot?"
"Marc, leave me alone!" She sighed and sat in her chair, turning on her computer, rather aggressively.
Marc noticed Daniel hurrying over "Trouble in paradise?"
Betty glared at him, causing Marc to step away and get back to his own safe space.
"Betty!" Daniel came over, holding two roses, and looking flustered. She sighed "What? I don't want to talk to you! I think you should go to your office. It's time for work!" She said and focused her attention to her computer screen.
He sighed "Betty, I was only joking! I don't even like Trista! I just said that because I know you don't like her"
Betty rolled her eyes "Well, great job, Daniel! Please leave! I don't want your stupid roses!" she said in annoyance as she got up and started walking away. Daniel followed after her "Come on, Betty. I didn't mean it, sweetie!"
Marc had to see this! He quickly got up and followed them. Where the hell was Mandy, now? He quickly texted her to get here ASAP.
"Daniel, I don't want to see you right now!" Betty said as she continued walking away. She didn't even know where she was going. She just wanted to get away from Daniel.
"Betty, what can I do to tell you I'm sorry? I really am! God, I am an idiot!" Daniel said feeling anxious. What the hell was he thinking?
Betty stopped and said "Finally, you admit you're an idiot! Now leave me alone!" she started walking again, getting the attention of several staff members that were coming in. Marc was dying, finding this hysterical. Finally Mandy showed up next to him and said "What's happening?"
He grinned "they're fighting again!"
Amanda laughed "Oh my God, this is so great! Let's record this!" she took out her phone when Betty stopped in front of Daniel's office. "Betty, come on! I'm not going to stop following you!" Daniel said as he caught up to her and stopped her from walking any further.
Betty stood there, with her arms folded across her chest.
Daniel sighed "I'm really sorry, Betty. I was only joking about Trista. I don't even like her!"
Betty looked away, not wanting to see his eyes or she was sure she'd cave. She was so upset. He sighed "Look, you and my mom are right. I was jealous! I hate it when any guy is near you! It just makes me crazy!"
Betty rolled her eyes.
He ran his hand through his hair nervously. "I just wanted to make you jealous, which was stupid, because you should know there is NO ONE on this universe that comes even close to you. You're the most special woman in the world to me."
Betty listened to him, her anger dissipating. He stepped closer to her "You're not only so beautiful and amazing, you're sweet, smart, and the kindest person I've ever met. You're also my best friend, Betty. I love you. Everything about you"
He took her hand in his "I'm really sorry. I am an idiot! You should know that!"
A slight smile crossed her face and Daniel smiled "Please, you have to know I don't want anyone but you. I love you."
She looked in his eyes, seeing the love there. She surprised everyone when she smacked his shoulder and said "I hate you!" smile on her face. He grinned "I know!"
She smiled as he held out the roses to her "Please forgive me" the puppy dog look he had made her shake her head "I don't know if I should." she teased as she took the roses from him.
He pouted "Please, what do you want me to do? Beg you?"
When a small smirk crossed her face, he nodded and said "Fine, I'll beg if that's what you want" he got down on his knees, everyone watching them, and took her hand "Please forgive me for being an idiot Betty! I love you, and I think you and I are meant to be together. Please accept my apology"
Betty bit her lip as she looked at him, being all cute and adorable. How could she say no to him. He was so charming. She nodded "Fine, I forgive you, but don't EVER make me jealous again!" she said in a serious tone.
He got up and nodded "You got it!" he hugged her and everyone that was watching laughed or clapped, Amanda and Marc were still recording them, grinning like a couple of clowns that they got to witness this particular fight and makeup.
Betty smiled and wrapped her arms around Daniel "I love you my crazy idiot"
He laughed and hugged her tighter "I love you, too, my undercover goddess."
