SWIM IN THE EAST RIVER

Betty left, but she was nervous; she decided she needed a little more time to collect her thoughts before she went to talk to Daniel. She was walking to the one place she knew would clear things up.

"Daniel?" Betty said as she saw that Daniel was standing at the same spot on the bridge they came to 3 years ago at 5 in the morning.

"Betty?" Daniel said with surprise.

"What are you doing here?" Betty asked curiously. "Just thinking." He said as he looked back over the bridge. "You?" he asked. "Same." Betty said as she went to stand next to him.

"Look Daniel/Betty I'm sorry!" They said in unison. "What?" They both said again. They laughed. "Betty, let me talk. I'm really really sorry if I hurt you. I really was not trying to take advantage of you. That is why I wanted to wait."

"I know. I guess, I'm sorry too. I overreacted."

"Ya, who knew you had the hots for me that bad?" he grinned flirtingly at her. "What?" She said in shock half smiling. "I do not."

"Sure Betty. Keep telling yourself that." He said with a smile. She just laughed. "You are really hot too, Betty." They both just looked out across the bridge at the view. "It's so magical. I miss this!" Daniel was looking at her as she said that with a sparkle in her eye. "Ya, me too, Betty." He said with a smile as he looked at her. "Daniel?" "hmm?" "Do you really think I'm beautiful?" Betty asked curiously. He just smiled at her and then looked over the bridge again. "I told you, Betty. You're better than any model. Way better." Betty smiled up at him "Daniel?"

He looked at her, "Yes Betty?"

"I love you!" Betty said as she looked over the bridge again. Daniel leaned closer, brushing his hand to her cheek and pulled her in for a sweet kiss. "I love you too, Betty." Kissing her cheek he said "By the way Betty, I would gladly swim in the East River in January for you."

"What?" Betty asked confused. "Remember, when we hung out at the pizza place you said you wish you knew what that felt like, to have someone that makes you want to swim in the East River in January for you. I would gladly do that for you."

"I would do that for you, Daniel." She said as she kissed him again. "I love you, Daniel. I guess I was just scared before when I was blaming you for everything. I'm sorry."

"That's ok, Betty. All that matters is you know that I would never hurt you and that I love you." They both just smiled snuggled close looking out over the bridge.

"Angelina was right."

"What are you talking about?"

"She said you were a really great kisser." A grin crept on Daniel's face. "Oh really?"

"Ya, and she said you were really nice."

"Well then, I guess I should do a nice thing and kiss you." He said with a smirk making her blush. He pulled her in for a sweet passionate kiss, making them forget everything around them.
