Chapter 25: What a Surprise
For much part of the morning and afternoon Betty had been distracted and in her own world of thought. For one, she had missed Daniel and seeing him this morning made her heart skip a beat. He seemed to be looking extra charming today.
It didn't really help matters that the whole world now knew they were married. That seemed to make her feel even more swept up in the magic of him.
Who was she kidding her husband was sexy.
The sleek black suit he had on made him look much too handsome. She felt she couldn't stop staring at him. He had on a white vest under his jacket and was wearing an elegant royal blue tie that had a faint silver-white diamond pattern. Anything to make his eyes shine brighter.
When he greeted her this morning she was left with butterflies in her stomach. The charming smile that swept his face when she walked into his office made her heart lift.
"Betty!" He quickly embraced her in a warm hug, his intoxicatingly gorgeous scent overtook her senses and she sighed audibly, melting into his hug as she hugged him back.
He chuckled and hugged her tighter "I missed you so much, Betty! Why the hell are you looking so freaking sexy for?!" he asked stepping back to take a better look, and checked her out.
He had his eyebrow raised as he looked her up from her legs, taking his time to take her in until he reached her face and gave her a seductive smile.
She bit her lip, and he groaned "Betty! Please don't seduce me now!" he teased. She blushed, laughing at how frustrated he sounded. He held her at her waist and glanced at her again. "You look so gorgeous."
She had decided to dress a little more flirty today. She really hadn't intended on 'seducing' Daniel, she mostly just wanted to look nice for him. He was so handsome.
She was wearing a black lace, long sleeve blouse, and a very flattering and flirty purple skirt. Of course the skirt was much shorter than she usually wore, and she wasn't wearing her usual stockings underneath; she could tell that he really liked it, because he kept sneaking glances at her legs.
She left her hair loose today and was wearing her glasses, but that didn't seem to make him think she looked any less beautiful, in fact, the look in his eyes told her the opposite.
Those charming blue eyes of his made her heart race.
She placed her hand to his shoulder and said "You look...sexy and charming! I think that YOU are trying to seduce ME Daniel! That is NOT fair! You know you are irresistible! You not only have to go and dress so perfectly, you smell...mmm" she said as she ran her hands up his chest, her eyes fixed on his.
Daniel felt his heart race as his perfectly beautiful wife was being so charming and sexy. She was the one who was looking sexy and charming! It was taking all of his resolve to not pounce on her now and forget their night, but he took a measured breath and placed his hands on her shoulders and slowly stepped back from her "Bettyy… please."
She bit her lip, her eyes shining with flirtation and want. It was taking all of him not to take her in his arms and kiss her senseless. He had missed her all night as he tried to sleep without her. He couldn't wait for this evening!
He was so excited, so much so that last night as he tried to go to sleep, he had a difficult time so he ended up at their new place, spending the night fixing it up and ended up falling asleep there.
He still had a bit more to do, but wanted more than anything for the work day to be over. He wasn't sure how he was going to focus today.
As the day went and they had a features meeting in the conference room, Wilhelmina went and surprised everyone by coming up with this elaborate and well-crafted cover-shoot idea suggesting that the cover of the next month's issue would be a sexy 'dance' inspired photo of Betty and Daniel, and that their 'love-story' would be the main feature.
Daniel looked surprised but was silent, while Betty's eyes were wide in shock and said "What? Wilhelmina, uh...I'm no model. I don't think that...I mean I'm not…why would- are you sure you would want ME to be on the cover?"
She saw Marc give her a pointed look as if telling her he told her so that Wilhelmina would use them to her advantage. She couldn't say her idea was bad. Truthfully it was brilliant.
Wilhelmina raised her eyebrow up as she scrutinized Betty, making her feel a little intimidated and uncomfortable. "Of course you're no model, Betty. I would be a fool to suggest that, but I think that you and Daniel on the cover would be a hit! If the whole world wants to know about you two, Mode should be the first to cover your story. What do you say, Betty?"
Betty looked to Daniel, who gave her a surprised smile "Betty, if you want to do this, well, I think it would be a lot of fun. Wilhelmina's right, why not use the fact that people want to know about us to our advantage? Of course, it's up to you." he picked her hand up in his.
She bit her lip as she thought about it.
"Oo Betty! I'm so jealous! Just imagine the sexy outfits you would wear!" Amanda said with a flirty wink, causing Betty to blush.
"And Daniel, maybe we could use your hot photographer friend Becks" Marc stated, but looked to Amanda with a mischievous look, resulting in her to blush.
Daniel nodded "Yeah! That would be great! What do you think, Betty?!" Daniel asked, secretly hoping Betty would say yes. He knew she would look fantastic, especially from how Wilhelmina made it sound. He couldn't lie, her idea was brilliant and they'd be incredibly foolish to let this opportunity slip from their grasp.
Betty glanced around the conference room and saw that everyone was eagerly waiting for her response. "What does everyone else think?" she asked, surprised when several of her coworkers clapped for her and said they thought it was a great idea.
"Since you went all hot tamale on us, we can see your potential" Marc stated.
Betty took a breath. She could see Daniel watching her and she looked to him with a smile "Do you want to do this?"
He looked at her with a smirk "I think it would be a lot of fun. Between Wilhelmina and Christina and me... you are going to be a knockout. Everyone is going to fall in love with you just like I have" he said in a charming voice, making her blush.
Wilhelmina rolled her eyes "oh come on, I don't have all day, Betty! Say yes, now or forever hold your peace!"
Betty looked to her and said "Okay... Yes!" she exclaimed, her heart racing when everyone cheered excitedly and Daniel kissed her hand. She bit her lip feeling nervous. Was that really happening? She felt so confused about everything. Of course in mostly an 'is this really happening to me' kind of way.
After Wilhelmina urged everyone with specific tasks to get things done and ready, Betty and Daniel walked out alongside each other. Betty was silent, her thoughts whirling. Daniel looked to her "Are you ok?"
She looked to him and nodded with a smile "Yes, I'm just...surprised. I can't believe this is happening to me. People want to know about me"
She frowned suddenly and he looked at her in worry. "What? Why are you sad?"
Tears filled her eyes "they don't really want to know me, though. It's just because I look a little better now and because... I'm married to you."
He stopped them from walking and made her look at him "Hey. That's not true, Betty. Everyone is so captivated by YOU. You're the one people are talking about and wondering who you are. Once they know you, they are going to love YOU.
So... you are dressing a lot prettier, I admit, but when we were in Mexico, it was your heart and vibrant personality that people noticed when we danced together. It was the love they saw we had for each other that made people notice us."
She looked in his eyes, her heart lifting, a small smile spreading across her face.
He smiled "Betty, you are so special and beautiful, not just on the outside, but most especially on the inside. Your heart and the light and beauty inside you make you more beautiful than you know. You always make everyone happier, whether they realize it or not."
She bit her lip as she listened to him. He smirked "Personally, I think that you were always this stunning beautiful butterfly that just happened to be inspired to emerge because you were with me." he said with a smile.
She smiled at him. He placed his hand to her face. "I think we bring out the best in each other. You were always hiding yourself, before. I think maybe we inspired each other to be who we really are. You've definitely inspired me to be a better person. I think people want to know about us, because they can see how in love we are." he said with a smile.
Tears filled her eyes as she looked at him. He held her face in both of his hands now " Uh...someone, most likely Marc, leaked the video he must have took last night when we were dancing. Everyone wants to know about you...about us, because they can see that our love is real"
She smiled brighter, and he smiled bright "I love you, Betty. I love being married to you. YOU, Betty Suarez-Meade, are amazing! Besides... your clothes might be sexier, but they're still you! Your glasses, the vibrant colors, that shining smile, your charming personality. That's all you, Betty. You're my beautiful colorful butterfly. I love you"
She pulled him to her for a passionate kiss, finding Daniel unbelievably amazing! He was so sweet and wonderful. Everything he said made her heart lift. She let go of him, when she heard a few snickers, and noticed it was Marc and Amanda. She blushed, while they laughed more.
Daniel grinned as she looked to him again. She giggled, her face bright in embarrassment, but said "I love you"
He hugged her "I love you, too. Now stop being so damn adorable!" he scolded playfully. She blushed.
Much of the day seemed to go by in a blur as they were extremely busy, although Betty did find it difficult to focus, especially whenever she was near Daniel. Every touch and glance between them seemed heightened with electric energy today, and she wondered if it was because of their plans for the evening.
She felt butterflies everytime she caught him watching her. He would smile or give her a playful smirk. He was so handsome.
Daniel was having a rough time staying focused on work-related matters. All he could think about was Betty. Her attraction to him didn't go unnoticed. He saw the way she looked at him and felt the static just being near her.
He couldn't wait for their 'date'.
Of course he still had to prepare a few things, but thankfully due to his excitement last night he got quite a lot of what he wanted ready for their evening.
As the work-day was nearing its end, he walked up to Betty who was sitting at her desk working. She looked to him with a smile. "Hi"
He grinned "Hi"
She blushed, but said "What can I help you with?"
He smirked "hmm...I have some ideas." he noticed her blush further; he laughed and said "actually, I was just going to say I'm going to have a town car pick you up at your house in Queens. I still have a few things to do before tonight. Say I'll have my car pick you up around 8."
She seemed to frown just slightly, enough for him to notice "what?" he asked.
She laughed at herself and said "That's so far away!" she said as she looked to the time on her watch.
He laughed, but said "Patience mi esposa hermosa. I promised to make things thrilling and sexy for you and I plan to deliver." he said with a wink. She blushed wondering what he had planned. She was finding it more and more difficult to wait.
She smiled when she watched him walk back into his office. She realized she could surprise him too.
She texted her sister that she wanted her help with her hair and makeup and getting a last minute dress, and a few other things. She wanted to make him feel special too.
Her husband was going to be in for a surprise.
