Chapter 51
"You're not moving in with us are you?" Amanda asked Betty, placing some papers down on her desk. "Gio and I have a nice arrangement going on, and if you move in… Well you know what they say Two's just right and Three's… company Way too much company, that will eat up all the delicious food that Gio makes for me. "
"What?" A confused look came across Betty's face. "Why would I move in with you and Gio?" She asked Amanda perplexed.
"Because you and Henry have broken up, you probably need a place to stay because you're homeless and what better place to stay than with the other man that loves you…"
"Whoa.. I'm not moving in with Gio." Betty stated firmly. "Amanda I just got out of a relationship, I'm not going to rush into another one." Betty grabbed the stapler off of Amanda's desk and stapled the papers in her hand. "And I have a place to stay. I live with my family remember?"
Amanda nodded. "Of course, you're still staying with your dad, Enrique, your sister Helena and your cousin Juan."
"My father Ignacio, my sister Hilda, and my nephew Justin."
"Right. Ignacio…, I kind of like him. And his flan."
"Yeah, well. I have a place to stay with my family, I'm not going to go out and move in with another man. I'm fine where I am at right now. I am just fine."
Amanda raised her eyebrow. "Are you sure you're fine?" A concerned look came across for her face. "I mean you just broke up with a man that you were very in love with. A man who you fought hard to be together with, back when you were with whiny Walter, and then when he was with annoying redhead. Then when annoying redhead, got pregnant…You've been through a lot with Henry… I know you're going to miss him." Amanda looked at Betty with a sympathetic look on her face.
Betty sighed, a wave of sadness washing over her. "Yeah, I am but…, I have to move on. And I will…"
Amanda smirked. "With Gio?" She asked coyly.
A small smile came over Betty's face. "I just broke up with Henry and I need time to get over him, but maybe once I have time to deal with this break up and get over him…"
"Then you'll be apart of a Bio pairing." Amanda chimed in.
"Bio? What's Bio?" Betty asked curiously.
Amanda smiled knowingly. "Bio. Betty and Gio. That's what I would call you and Gio if you two guys get together. I mean you and Henry were Benry, and you and Gio would be Bio."
Betty laughed. "You gave me and Henry and me Gio couple's names? Like Tomkat and Brangelina?"
Amanda nodded. "Yes, you're not apart of Hollywood and you and your men may not be as glamorous as Tom and Katie and Brad and Angelina, but yes I gave you guys couple names." Betty looked at Amanda, with an amused look on her face.
Amanda shrugged. "What? I was bored."
"Well, I don't know if there is going to be any Bio anytime soon, I think that I need to be alone for at least a little while before entering another relationship. And personally I prefer the couple name of Getty, I think it has a better ring to it."
Amanda rolled her eyes. "Okay, Getty it is then." Just then Amanda's phone rang. She picked it up and answered it. "Hello, Mode's Offices? Yes, we still have that event going on. Of course. I'll connect you right now." Amanda connected the caller and hung up the phone. She looked up at Betty. "That was Jill's Flatstone's assistant. She wanted to assure us that Jill would be donating clothes to auction off for our "Mode Gives Back" charity event. She is the fifth designer to call this morning that is going to donate clothes for this event."
Betty smiled. "That's great! We are going to raise a lot of money for a lot of different charity organizations. I am so glad that Daniel decided to do this event this year. We get to help others out, and it gives our magazine good publicity. I think that it is going to be a fantastic event."
Amanda nodded. "Yeah, I think it's going to be great as well. I admit in the past, I haven't cared a lot about the less fortunate, but ever since my apartment burned down and I lost everything… well it changes the way I see things at least a little. Of course, I'm still about the benjamins a lot, but now I know what it's like to lose a lot of things that are valuable to you and to be without. I'm bringing Kyle to the event and he's interested in donating some money."
" Amanda that's awesome."
"Yeah, I'm going to get him to bid on at least one of the famous designer's dresses for me. That way he can help out a good cause and can help keep me looking fabulous at the same time."
Betty smiled and looked down at her watch. "I have to go run some more errands for Daniel. Bye Amanda."
"Sayonara, Betty." Betty left and the phone rang again and Amanda picked it up and answered it, and continued to do her work at Mode.
