Chapter : Three

Betty woke up and stretched, she expected to find Daniel next to her , but the his side of the bed was empty. She thought back to when they'd heard the news about Bradford's exoneration and release from prison.

When she had broken the news to him about his father ,his reaction had surprised her. He had stood there silent as if in shock and then he had said that they'd be late for their dinner reservations, if they didn't leave now. It was as if she hadn't just told him that his father , who he had spent a month trying to get people to believe was not a murderer , but in the end had to come to terms with it when his father pleaded guilty, had just been released for said murder, after new evidence exonerating him and convicting the real murder, was found.

A month had passed and he hadn't mentioned a thing, it was as if he was in denial, and he was distant at times which worried Betty. She had been giving him space and hoped he'd be able to open up to her soon. Or at least see someone so he could talk about it , if he couldn't talk to her, or didn't want to worry her.

"Daniel!"

she called out worried, she glanced at the clock and became even more worried because it was too early for her fiancee to be up and out of bed. Suddenly Daniel entered the room carrying a breakfast tray filled with her favorite breakfast food.

"Happy Valentines Day Betty!"

He said walking toward her and setting the tray on the bed , before passionately kissing the love of his life. They broke apart and Betty smiled at him glad to see him in a good mood.

"I love you ..." She said breaking the kiss and caressing his face.

"I love you too Betty , enjoy your breakfast ,I have meetings in Philidelphia till three thirty,I'll have a car pick you up at six so we can have dinner , so I'll see you then." Daniel said.

"Yeah, drive safe." Betty said giving him a quick kiss, then Daniel walked toward the door to leave their bedroom then turned back and walked over to Betty kissing her passionately.

"What was that for ?"Betty said smiling her lips still tingling from their kiss.

" To hold me over ,since I won't be seeing you till dinner." He said smiling and bending down to kiss her.

She pulled him onto the bed and he rolled on top of her kissing her lips , neck and letting his hands wander . Before things got too hot and heavy Betty tried to pull herself up .

"Daniel...mmm..we can't..your going to be late, and so will I, I'm meeting my editor in thirty minutes." Betty said reluctantly.

"I've got fifteen..." He said continuing his kissing maneuvers on her upper body .

"Daniel..." Betty pleaded.

"Ok, one...last...kiss..."Daniel said kissing her at each pause before kissing her quickly on the mouth.

He then got up and headed out the door. Betty loved how just his kisses could make her melt ,he was just so irresistable and he was all her's. She finished her breakfast and quickly took a cold shower before heading to the meeting with her editor.

Later that night

Betty grabbed her purse , after changing in the restroom ,and made her way to the elevator and down to the first floor where a car was waiting for her. The driver opened the door and Betty got inside where she found a bouquet of her favorite flowers on the seat , attached with a sweet note from Daniel.

She asked the driver where they were going and he said , Daniel wanted it to be a surprise. She sat back and waited for them to arrive at their destination. Fifteen minutes later the car stopped signaling they'd arrive. The driver opened the door to reveal her and Daniels condo was puzzled until the driver handed her a card from Daniel before getting back into the car. She opened the card and read it outloud.

"Happy Valentines Day Betty , go up to the roof for your surprise." Betty smiled at his creativeness .

She said hello to the doorman before heading to the highest floor. She went through the door that led to the roof and saw that the roof had been decorated with lights a small table set for two with wine classes and candles and a violin player playing their song as she walked over. Then Daniel appeared in a nice but not too formal suit .

"Daniel...this is beautiful."She said walking over and greeting him hello.

"I thought we'd do something different this year. " He said pulling out the chair for Betty.

She sat down and a waiter came forward with their meals, another of Betty's favorite dishes . They sat and ate and laughed , with I love yous spoken several times . As the violin player continued to play romantic music . They both finished and as the air started to cool ,Betty whispered seductively in his ear.

"Let's go inside ."

Daniel dismissed the waiter and violin player and the two practically flew down the steps to the elevator that would take them to their condo. Once inside the unfulfilled passion from that morning was released as the two made love, the stress of wedding planning and his father's release forgotten, at least for that moment or should I say all that night.
