Chapter 8
Music filled the hotel that night as the wrap party was is full swing… people in their little groups talking about their time her in Tucson, the photo shoot, and dancing. Betty sat at her table waiting for Henry … she couldn't wait to tell him that she would be staying in Tucson to be with him. She then heard Christina behind her…
"Hey girly girl ... How you doing'?" Christina came with a plate full of food half dancing … Betty laughed at her friend …
"I'm excited and nervous. I mean this is all happened so fast and I'm so sure of myself."
"I'm happy for you sweetheart … and I will miss you dearly." Christina leaned in and they shared a hug.
"I'll miss you too. But I will visit and call."
"You better!" The girls laughed and decided to make their way to the dance floor. Betty caught a glimpse of Charlie and Lila who were sitting at another table. Charlie sweetly playing with Lila she turned and caught Betty's eye, Charlie let out a bitter sweet smile and her over to her. Betty was slightly confused for a moment but made her way over to her.
"Hi" Charlie said as Lila fidgeted in her arms …
"Hey" Betty and Charlie sat there for a second.
"Um… I was wondering if you would like to hold Lila" Charlie turned her around so she was facing Betty. She was wearing a cute little sundress with pink daises on it, and a pacifier in her mouth. Betty smiled at her as Charlie handed her to Betty. She held her up in her arms … Lila was looking at Betty … she poked at her glasses. Both of the girls laugh as Lila let out a little smile. Charlie could take her eyes off of Betty … she sighed deep still smiling she new that Lila would be in good hands.
As the party went on the girls stayed at the table talking, Lila now sleeping in Betty's arms. Henry and Daniel had joined the party a while ago. But Henry stood at the door looking the girls he loved so dearly. He made his way over a while later.
"Good evening ladies." Betty and Charlie both turned their heads and smiled at Henry. He leaned down and placed a gentle kiss on Lila's head and then one on Betty's lips. Both of them broke the kiss and let out a breath of release. Henry whispered to her sweetly …
"Hey can we go out side, we need to talk?"
"Yes." As they shifted around Betty handed Lila to Charlie. Ounce she had a hold of Lila and watched Betty take a few steps away Charlie grabbed Henry's hand …
"Good Luck" She smiled at him as he smiled back. He then made his way to Betty who had stopped and hand in hand they wade their way out to the balcony. As Henry closed the doors the music and roar of the party drifted away. He turned back to Betty who still took his breath away … the moon in her hair , her sweet smile. He reached her is three steps, cupped her head in his hands and placed a kiss on her. Betty's arms now rapped tightly around Henry. As they broke the kiss they just held each other for a moment. Betty was the first to speak.
"I actually need to tell you something too." Betty and Henry now looking into each other's eyes.
"Oh really ... Well ladies first." they slowly made their way over to the rail of the balcony.
"I quit my job at Mode.." Betty blurted out quickly "and I'm planning on moving here … if you'll have me" Betty smiled at Henry but then was taken back at the look on his face.
"No…" He blurted out quickly. Betty now taken back as she moved away from him
"No … what do you mean … you don't want be with me… you don't want me here…" Betty's words were cut of. Henry moved towards her and took her hands back in his…
"No Betty that's not what I meant, I want to be with you that's all I ever wanted for us."
"Then I don't understand.' Betty shook her head trying to make sense of it all.
"You don't need to move here…" Henry reached in his back pocket and handed Betty some papers … her eyes widened as she read down the page.
"Custody papers?" she stared at Henry over whelmed. He smiled at her.
"Charlie is giving my full Custody of Lila and I'm planning on going back with you all."
"Oh my god HENRY!!" Betty flung her arms around him as he twirled her around … "But wait wait wait … Why is she giving you full custody?"
"She got a great opportunity with a jewelry company that just started they're going to be doing a world tour for the next year and a half and then their going to be setting up base in New York. I have already talked to Daniel and he said I can come back to Mode."
"Oh Henry" She took him into a passionate kiss. She was the happiest she could imagine she could imagine being.
"I have one more question to ask you." Henry started into her eyes … Betty's heart once again in her throat
"What is that?" her pulse racing thinking of what it could be …
"Will you …. Move in with Lila and I when we get back to New York?" Henry started at her for a moment her eyes welling up with tears.
"Yes Henry I would love too" She smiled tears coming down her cheeks. They spent the rest of the party out in on the balcony. They were together again …
