Confessions of a Fashion Mogul

Daniel sat on the beautiful white stone bench next to his fathers' grave. He took a quick glance around to make sure he was alone before he began to speak.

"Hey Dad, it's been a really long time since we've talked. Hell this is probably the first time we have ever really talked. I want you to know that I'm sorry that we never got a chance to when you were alive but you weren't around a lot and I well I'm kind of stubborn. But I'm not here to tell you about all our faults. Not tonight anyway. I came here to tell you something I never got to when you were alive. In the hospital I tried but…I don't know I just…I couldn't. It was a lot harder than I thought it would be. You should thank Betty that I even have the courage to now. But anyway what I came here to say is that…" he paused tears falling from his eyes like rain, "I really do love you dad and…I hope you are proud of the man I have become."

"He is." Betty said in a low calming voice that came from somewhere behind him. She walked around the bench and took a seat next to him.

He looked up at her tears shinning in his eyes. She reached up a hand to his face and wiped away a stray tear.

"How long have you been there?" he questioned with sudden embarrassment.

"Long enough, is this why you called me here Daniel? To help you say goodbye to your dad?" she said her voice showed the hint of concern her face tried to hide.

"In a way, but mostly I brought you here tonight so you could help me say goodbye to someone else."

"Who?" she said confusion evident on her sunset lit face.

"Me. The old me anyway. My old life."

"Why are we saying goodbye to him?"

"Because its time. Because he realized something this weekend that changed his whole world, one of those things that once you know you can never go back. And in the end you realize you really don't want to."

"Daniel, what are you talking about?"

"Betty you know how everybody at the office thinks that I can't do anything on my own, that you're the reason that I am where I am, and that I would be lost without you?"

"Daniel they are wrong. You are an amaz…"

He put a finger to her lip to silence her. "Before you go into full Betty pep talk mode let me finish okay?" he said with the childlike smile that Betty could never refuse. She nodded.

He took a deep breath. "I kind of realized they are right."

"I don't understand?" She said with the cutest look of confusion Daniel had ever seen. His heart ached to be nearer to her. He took her hands and moved off the bench and onto his knees in front of her. His heart skipped a beat and his throat was in his chest. This moment could either ruin the best friendship he had ever had or be the beginning of something amazing.

"Betty I had a dream this weekend. I was in this 'perfect' world. My parents were still married. My dad was alive and proud of me and Alex, well hell he was still Alex. I had the cutest nephew ever and my life was ideal. Only it sucked because my best friend and the only person who I know I can always trust didn't know who I was. You, Betty, you didn't know me and it made all the difference."

"Daniel I'm lost."

"I know but hang in there. You'll see in a minute what I mean." Taking a deep breath and looking past Betty toward his fathers grave he got an indescribable sense of peace. It was the time. Now or never, and he chose now.

"Betty I know this is going to sound like it came out of left field and I promise you I am not drunk but I…I…I love you Betty Suarez. I don't know when it happened but it did. And I don't regret it either. You are the best thing that has ever happened to me."

For the briefest (although if you asked Daniel it was an eternity) moment Betty sat there in shock not certain her own ears or eyes could be trusted. After all those were the exact words she had been longing to hear, but the most unbelievable ones.

Daniels heart began to beat faster with each second that passed unanswered. Then without warning Betty pulled him into a tight hug and whispered, " I love you too Daniel Meade, and I always will."

And as Daniel pulled Betty closer and they shared one of the most mind numbingly, amazing, and sensual kisses of all time he hoped and prayed that this new found love that they shared would stand the test of time.

Hope you loved it….This little post story mini story goes out to mhngndh and iluvtofu because they wanted a little Daniel & Becks action. By the way it's not really funny. More aggressive but that is the encounter that popped into my head so it's the one your stuck with…hope you enjoy!!!!!

In alternate reality

Becks walked into his office. He couldn't wait to see his fiancé and tell her the great news of where he had booked the wedding hall. She was going to squeal with excitement. Oh how he loved that squeal. But when he walked into his office he saw her with some guy. Tall, dark hair, and smiling at Betty in a way that just pissed him off.

"Hey!" he yelled causing Betty and Daniel to jump and look.

"Oh hey honey, what are you doing here? I thought I said I was going to meet you at home?" Betty questioned slightly afraid. Becks got angry and jealous kind of easy.

"I changed my mind." He said in an angry voice.

Daniel decided to speak up. Bad choice he would realize in hindsight. "Hey dude calm down we were just talking." He said taking a step in front of Betty to protect her.

"Don't tell me to calm down when you are in here with MY fiancé doing God knows what."

"Becks..." Betty began.

"Apologize to Betty for insinuating that she is that kind of girl." Daniel said in a pissed off voice taking another step toward Becks.

"Don't pretend you know her."

"Apologize now!"

"NO!"

What happened next is hard to explain. Nobody who witnessed it can remember who jumped who first. But they both came out of that pile bloody and bruised. Cussing and punching. Needless to say they spent the night in jail and had a very interesting conversation with a transgender named Nic. But that is a story for a different day.

Hope you liked it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
