Detty – Tale as Old as Time
Chapter 5 – Dinner with Claire
I think this will be the last chapter but I'm not too sure. Let me know if you want more.
Daniel knocked on the door of his mother's home his fingers locked with Betty's.
"Ah, Daniel..." she said giving him a hug.
"Hi mom." He replied
"And Betty." She continued giving Betty a hug.
"Hello Ms Meade."
"Betty, how many times do I need to tell you, you're my future daughter-in-law, call me Claire."
"Okay Ms Me- eh Claire." Betty gave Claire a hug.
"So Berta will have dinner ready in about 10 minutes so would you like to join me though in the main room?"
"Yes please" Betty smiled politely as they started heading to the main area.
Claire scoffed, "Daniel take Betty's coat and put the coat room!"
"Oh sorry, Betty" he said taking off her coat.
Daniel headed to the coat room while Betty and his mom made his way into the main room.
"Men." Claire scoffed. Betty laughed.
"So Betty, how's that job in London going?"
"It's great. Actually I just got a promotion."
"Oh, really? That's great."
"Yeah, I suppose we better get saving for the big day."
"Oh yes, congratulations. I am so happy Daniel found a girl like you. I can't tell how long I've waited this to happen. Back when you're were still his assistant, he would look at you in way, a different way he did other girls, a good different, he was in love with you. He looked at you differently, I could see it in your eyes he loved your more that Molly." Betty just blushed.
"So you knew Daniel liked me?"
She chuckled, "Of course I mean he almost burned down his office to stop you leaving, Betty who do you think was the one who convinced him to go after you?"
Betty blushed some more. She and Claire looked at each other and smiled.
"What are you ladies talking about then?" asked Daniel.
"Oh nothing." Claire responded.
"Dinner is ready." Berta announced.
The three of them headed in to the dining area.
They talked about the wedding, Daniel getting embarrassed as Claire bombarded Betty with questions about the dress, dates, bridesmaids, cakes, themes and invites.
"Okay, mom I think that's enough questions for this evening."
"Oh sorry," she rolled her eyes and Betty laughed. "So Betty how is your family."
"There great, thanks, um Justin has an audition for a Broadway musical in a few weeks."
"Oh. That's good. What musical?"
"Billy Elliot I think."
"Well I wish him all the best."
"Thank you."
"And your father?"
"Oh he's doing really well. Thanks for asking."
"And what about Hilda?"
"Great. She just opened up in an actual store with employees and everything. She loves being the boss. Go figure."
Everyone laughed.
"Well, I suppose I better get home" Betty said not realizing how late it was.
"You can't trail across half of New York at this late hour!" Daniel protested "Mom couldn't she stay here?"
"Why of course." Claire agreed.
"Thanks you Ms Me- Claire." Betty smiled.
Okay, I know the thing about Justin was quiet random but it's just something else I could add to the story. Thanks for all the reviews & comments :-).
