Date Night (But For Whom?)

Betty glanced into the mirror for what seemed like he hundredth time tonight. She generally didn't pay much attention to things like appearance but tonight was different. It was her first date with Becks and she wanted to look like someone he would be into. Even after Daniel's reassurances that all Becks wanted was for her to be herself she couldn't help but think of all the various models he had slept with over the years and she was keenly aware that she didn't look like that.

She took a deep breath, on more quick look in the mirror and descended downstairs to await her date. Ten minutes later a town car that resembled the one Daniel generally used as a mode of transportation arrived outside. Butterflies fluttered through her stomach as she waited for the inevitable knock that would soon be at her front door. As she had anticipated it soon came.

When she opened the door she couldn't help but smile at the beautiful man standing in front of her with a bouquet of red roses, and when he saw her smile he couldn't help but return the sentiment.

"You look great, Betty" he said beautiful blue eyes glistening in the light. And boy did she ever. Betty was wearing a form fitting navy blue dress that hugged her in all the right places with a slight V-neck, that was just low enough to drive a man insane, but not low enough to betray her modest nature.

"Thanks, Daniel but what are you doing here?" Betty questioned confused. Partially because she knew that he knew she was going on a date with Becks tonight and partially because there was a small part of her that was glad that it was Daniel at her door right now…and she couldn't quite place why that would be.

"Sorry to just barge in, I was thinking Becks would probably be late and I just wanted to wish you good luck again." Daniel smiled stopping only moments before he gave her the thumbs up. He cringed, knowing she most likely had already interpreted its hidden meaning.

"Daniel! Why did you just do that?" she questioned loudly.

"Do what?" he said feigning ignorance and attempting to distract her with his most charming smile.

"Don't pretend you don't know. If you have something to say Daniel just say it." Betty stated loudly giving Daniel the look that told him he had better do it or else.

"Okay fine…I don't know how good of an idea this date thing with you and Becks is." he said biting his lip and looking down at the floor. And though she hated to admit it, that made her heart soften just a bit.

"But earlier, Monday, you said it was okay. You thought it was a good idea." she stated in a half hearted, seemingly sad tone.

He led her to the couch and sat down. "I know what I said earlier Betty and I wanted to believe it then, hell I still want to believe it, but I realized that I was using myself instead of Becks. I know what it is like to be him, you know I do, and well Betty you know how I was with women and I just don't want that to happen to you is all."

"You mean you don't think he actually likes me?" Betty said tears welling up in her eyes threatening to spill.

"Hey no that's not what I meant. Betty he'd be crazy not to like you. I do think he has feelings for you, I just don't know if he is ready for a real relationship. The kind of relationship you deserve, especially after everything you went through with Henry and Gio, and I just don't know if he is ready to be that guy, for anyone, at least not yet, and I don't want you to get hurt because of that." Daniel half whispered lifting Betty's head up with his thumb. Her lip was quivering and tears were in her eyes and he suddenly had the strangest urge to kiss her.

"Daniel…" was all she managed to get out before she threw her arms around him and enveloped him in a hug, and for the first time he really hugged her back. They sat there for a moment then Betty pulled away a little, not completely, just enough to be able to look back into his eyes and whispered, "Thank you." and when she said it she leaned in, she couldn't tell you why she did it but she did.

She just for once wanted to do something without thinking, without worrying about the consequences or anything like that. And at that exact moment looking into Daniel's gorgeous blue eyes she wanted to kiss him more than she would later admit, so she did. At first it was gentle and sweet and she could tell he was caught off guard, but the longer it went on and nobody broke away the deeper and more passionate it got, and Betty knew why every woman who had ever kissed him wanted nothing more than to do it every day for the rest of their life. If Daniel Meade was anything it was a phenomenal kisser. When the need for air became too much they finally broke away from each other.

"Wow." was all she could say. And they were both surprised and extremely embarrassed when a voice behind them said, "Yeah wow is right."

Looking over her shoulder Betty saw Becks. He had chocolates in one hand and was dressed in a pinstriped suit that made him look like a model. But she also noticed that his eyes looked sad, almost longing.

"Becks I can explain…" Betty began walking toward him cheeks flushed from the kiss and the embarrassment.

"No Betty it's okay, you know what I kind of thought I got that vibe from you two but everyone told me, including Daniel, that you were just friends." he said in a tone that didn't seem angry, which shocked both Daniel and Betty.

"No you are right…we are." she attempted to argue, but it sounded weak to her own ears, especially with what he had just witnessed.

"Betty…don't. It's okay, but thank you anyway you made me feel like no woman has in a really long time and I will never regret that. But well I don't know what Daniel may have told you tonight, but this week that I had to think about us; I did, and I just don't know if I could be the kind of guy that deserves a girl like you. Not yet anyway, but thanks to you I think I want to be that kind of guy. So just so you know I'm not giving up. If Danny wants a fight he's got one, because I think we would be great together..," he said smiling. He then handed her the chocolates, hit Daniel jokingly on the shoulder and walked out of the door.

And standing there alone with Daniel in what seemed to be the quietest room in the quietest house in the entire universe her mind starting to race. Daniel was her boss, and her best friend, would he fight Becks for her? Did Daniel and Becks really both want her? How was this going to affect her and Daniels relationship? Did she have feelings for him beyond friendship that she hadn't been aware of until tonight. What were they going to do, could they pretend like it hadn't just happened? What had she gotten herself into this time?

Well I hope you enjoyed it…It isn't over yet and I'm still not sure how it is going to end because I make it up as I go along…anyway please review!!
