The next week after the wedding went by fast, and everyone telling her she should tell Daniel how she felt was starting to nag at her. While her emotions seemed to be out of whack, her friendship with Daniel was back to where it had been. They were back to daily lunches and because he had yet to learn how to cook, he was at her house for dinner every night.

One night after dinner, Betty went to his house for a beer. She was sitting on his back porch looking up at the stars when he came out of the house and plopped a newspaper down next to her.

"What's this?"

"I saw this at a booth when I went to get us lunch today" taking a drink of his beer he sat down next to her,

She picked up the paper and choked on her drink, there in the head line was 'Daniel Meade moves on fast, dating former secretary and now partner Betty Suarez' "Oh my gosh! Are these people stupid?"

"Really?" Daniel asked and she laughed at the confused look on his face.

"Yes really, first off; we would never be dating and secondly I am not your partner I am still your assistant" she took another long drink of her beer and got up.

"Why is that so farfetched? You're good looking, why is it a bad thing that people think we are dating?" Daniel said as he followed her into the house.

"Are you kidding me!" she shouted and turned putting her hands on her hips. "I am not your type so don't stand there and act like I am."

Betty turned back around and started doing the dishes in the sink, she was frustrated and having an argument with Daniel was not going to help.

"Betty stop doing my dishes" Daniel said and she could feel him step closer to her, she could also feel the redness creep up her neck and she hoped to gosh he couldn't see it. "Betty, tell me why it would be so unbelievable that we were together"

"Daniel, I am doing your dishes because you have like a whole weeks' worth here, and I am not going to stand here and list all my faults"

"No" he said and she almost lost her breath when he spun her around and blocked her in , she could feel his chest touching hers he was so close, she could feel his arms close to her's as he gripped the sink to keep her there "let me tell you why it shouldn't be so unbelievable."

"Daniel… don't" she begged, she knew that if he went there she would never be able to go back and she knew that he would lose interest soon and it would break her heart.

"You are smart." He said and kissed her neck, "you know everything about me" he trailed his lips up, "your eyes are something I could sink into" he nipped at her ear and she could have sworn she whimpered "and like I told you last week, I couldn't ever see my life without you"

She pulled back before he could actually kiss her and looked him in the eye "you meant that? I thought you just meant ….."

He cut her off by picking her up and setting her on the counter, "I know what you thought I meant…. And I know you might think this is all too soon, but I love you Betty, I don't know when it happened or how, but I love you and I want to wake up every morning and tell you I love you, I want to see you at work and tell you I love you and most of all I want to be able to call you my wife, my lover and my best friend, till the day I die."

She didn't even respond she just pulled him into a kiss. Somehow she knew he wouldn't lose interest, she still thought it was too soon, she knew that people would say it was too much too fast. But that would only be the people who didn't know them, because the people who knew them, knew it should have happened a lot sooner.

When they pulled apart he laughed and smiled "I'll take that as a yes?"

"Did you think I would say anything else?"

And the rest is history…

Thanks to all who reviewed and have had to wait so long for an ending. Things have been crazy here and I am just getting back into my writing. Sorry this ended so soon, but maybe if I get enough response I'll write a sequel.
