A/N: Yey Ugly Betty is back, so here I am to continue my fan fiction with enthusiasm…hope you all love it!!

Speechless…

Sometimes speechless is really the only way to describe how you feel. And that was what was happening to Daniel Meade right now. His best friend, Becks, had just basically told Betty that Daniel was in love with her. And while it was true, Daniel hadn't been quite ready to throw that out there. What if she didn't reciprocate his feelings? What if Becks had just ruined the best thing that had ever happened to him? How was he expected to go on with his life if suddenly Betty decided she didn't want to be in it? Suddenly a small voice tore him from his thoughts. It was Betty.

"Daniel?" she questioned concern and fear clearly showing through in her features.

"Yeah Betty?" he responded still not turning around to face her completely simply out of fear.

"I'm sorry…" she stated in a voice scarcely above a whisper.

"For what?" he whispered back, for the first time turning to face her.

"I know this is what you were scared of…so I'm sorry I let it happen." she stated still whispering and never letting her eyes wander from there trained position on the floor.

"Betty? What do you mean? Let what happen?" he said reaching out and lifting her head up with his fingers until she was face level with him.

She took a deep breath before beginning. "I'm sorry that Becks is right. At least on my end. Daniel I realized it a long time ago, but I never would allow myself to admit it, not even in my own mind. I don't exactly remember when it happened, it was more of a gradual change you know, one day I looked up and you were more than just a friend, you were my world. But still I tried to deny it, never allowing myself those thoughts. Never allowing myself hope, because I knew it would never be. We could never be. But Daniel please don't stop being my friend, I can't live without you in my life." she said looking into his crystal blue eyes that were filled with tears, tears that mirrored her own.

Slowly and suddenly he smiled, not one of his fake smiles, but the ones that made Betty wonder how she could have ever lived without them. The ones that allowed her to see not only into his heart but into his soul. "Betty, are you kidding me? You just said everything that I have been dying to say to you since, hell, I don't even remember when. Betty before you my life was this jumbled mess , hell it wasn't even a life, it was an existence, but then you walked, or more like fell into my life and made me complete. Betty you mean more to me than I could ever try to explain. I am everything I am because of you. Betty Suarez I wish I could tell you how much you mean to me but I can't because you leave me speechless."

Betty smiled at hearing the words she had never dared to dream she would be able to. A smile that Daniel returned in full force.

"Betty I have an idea."

"What kind of idea?" Betty stated still realing from the unexpected turn of events this afternoon had taken.

"How about tonight or tomorrow, whichever suits you best, we go out, on our first official date?" he smiled surprised by how incredibly comfortable he felt asking his best friend and assistant out on a date.

"Tonight sounds good." she smiled still not entirely convinced this wasn't some strange but amazing dream.

"But first as my assistant there is something I order you to do."

She raised her eyebrows at him.

"Okay request, there is something I request you do." he rephrased standing up and taking her hand in his. He led her toward the window in his office and closed the curtain. As he did Betty's heart began to beat 100 miles and hour.

"Daniel…" she began pulling away from him.

"Betty? What's wrong?" he questioned slightly confused.

"Daniel, we haven't even been on a date yet. Besides I'm not that kind of girl." she said looking down at her shoes as she spoke, embarrassment showing in her features.

"Betty what the hell are you talking about? I just wanted one little kiss." he said running a hand through his hair and sitting back down on the couch.

"Oh" Betty said cheeks flushing crimson.

"No Betty it is my fault. If I wasn't such a damn horn dog you wouldn't have ever thought that." he said his voice muffled by the fact that his face was now in his hands.

"No Daniel I'm sorry it was my fault. I don't know why I thought that…I was being insecure is all…I'm sorry." she said rushing to his side and taking the seat next to him.

"Betty don't be insecure. You don't need to be. Do you remember when I told you that you were better than any model? I meant that…every word. You are the most incredible person I have ever met in my life."

"Daniel I mean look at this. Look at us. Do you honestly think I have no reason to be insecure in this relationship? Daniel you are one of the most eligible bachelors in New York, you are rich, smart, handsome, I'm just Betty."

"You are so much more than just Betty. You are smart, talented, incredible, and very beautiful." Daniel whispered brushing a stray hair out of her face.

"Thank you Daniel but I know I am no model."

"I thought I already settled this, you're better." he smiled and before she could protest or stop him or even think he leaned forward and kissed her. At first it was gentle and sweet, but as his desire overtook him it became much more passionate and desperate. He kissed her deeper and traced his tongue along her lips slowly and tantalizingly asking for her permission to enter, she yielded quickly with a small moan in the back of her throat. Soon the kiss became more than either had bargained for and Daniel found himself on top of Betty on the small white couch in his office. He wanted her so badly, and she wasn't putting up much of a fight. But her words from earlier stopped him. Daniel...I'm not that kind of girl. And he didn't want her to be. He didn't want to make her that kind of girl. And so even though it took all of the self control he had he stopped kissing her and got off the couch.

"Daniel is something wrong?" Betty said in a sweet innocent voice.

He rubbed his hand through his hair again, making it more of a disheveled and adorable mess than it already was.

"I'm sorry Betty, I thought I could control myself better, I just, you were so…I'm sorry." he finished.

"No Daniel I'm sorry, just a minute ago I was mad at you because I thought that" she gestured toward the couch, "was what you wanted, and then I…well I didn't want to stop…I guess I wasn't expecting it to be so…perfect." she smiled.

"I wasn't either…but it was wasn't it? Perfect I mean." he smiled at her.

"Yeah, beyond perfect." she smiled back.

"But Betty still, regardless of how amazing and perfect it was. I still think we should wait, a bit, you know we should at least have a real date first." he smiled walking toward her.

"I agree with you boss." she smiled back at him.

"And we probably need to get back to work…we have been in here a while, with the curtain closed, wouldn't want them to start spreading rumors would we?" Daniel smiled closing the distance between him and Betty in one long stride.

"Of course not…but one more little kiss couldn't hurt right? I mean since they are probably already talking anyway." she responded.

"Betty I will never protest to one more kiss from you." he smiled as he wrapped her in his arms, this time being slower and sweeter with the kiss, afraid of where his passion might take him, he didn't want to overestimate his self control, he didn't know if he could resist twice.

"Now get back to work." Daniel said returning to his desk and looking down at the massive pile of paperwork in front of him.

"Look whose talking?" she smiled before exiting his office and taking a seat at her desk.

Daniel was glad that she had kept the curtain closed, or else he wouldn't have gotten an ounce of work done that day, just knowing she was out there made it hard for him to concentrate on his job. But the fact that she was his now, and they would soon be going on their first date calmed him down enough to allow him to finish off some of the massive pile of crap in front of him. He would have to remember to thank Becks the next time he saw him. Maybe the next time we meet Betty, you'll be wearing white. Daniel remembered him saying. Hell Becks for once I'm betting on you…Daniel thought with a smile.

Hope it didn't suck too bad, I am sorry if it isn't the best but my mind is kind of finding it hard to concentrate these days…anyway please review…it is that little button down yonder…:)
