Chapter 3

Betty managed to weave her way out of the crowd of people in the subway remarkably quickly, once outside she stopped just for a second to gain her breath, and check her watch. She had 5 minutes to get Daniels breakfast and get to mode. She knew Daniel liked the bagels and particular brand of coffee that the quaint little shop down the road from the mode offices sold, and she thought that she was going to be late now whether she liked it or not so she may as well get him something nice to make up for it.

She ran as fast as she could down to the shop, and ordered a coffee and a cream cheese bagel for Daniel, and a coffee for herself. While she waited, her mind started to stray to the upcoming events of the weekend. Henry was going to be leaving to go back to Tucson, and she wasn't looking forward to it in the slightest. She hated the fact that the man she loved, who said loved her too, was leaving her to be with another woman, and his child. She knew it was the right thing to do, but had somehow hoped he would change his mind. Originally she had said that she would not go to see him off at the airport as it would be to hard for her, but he had managed to talk her round. She wished she had just been that little bit stronger and stood her ground, as she just couldn't bear the thought of having to say goodbye.

Suddenly in the back of her mind she could hear a voice calling her, and she snapped out of her train of thought.

"Excuse miss! Your orders ready" said a small, shy looking young girl from behind the counter.

"oh err yes, sorry, here you go." Betty said passing the girl the money, and flashing her a smile. "thank you"

"Thank you, have a good day" the young girl called after her

"oh and you" betty shouted back as she ran out the shop.

Betty ran non stop all the way to the Meade building, straight through the doors and managed to get straight in the elevator without stopping. She smiled to herself as the lift starting making its way up to the mode floor. She had managed to get from the coffee shop to the Meade building through all the crowds of people without spilling a single drop of coffee on herself, and she was only 5 minutes late.

The lift doors pinged and opened on the mode floor and Betty darted out, she dashed down the corridor and straight past the reception desk, where Amanda was sat painting her nails.

"Morning Amanda" she said as she scurried past

"Your late Betty" Amanda remarked without looking up

"Really, never I thought I was early" Betty retorted as she made her way down the corridor towards her desk.

As Betty rounded the corner to her desk, she ran straight in to Henry knocking her coffee which she had managed right up until now to not spill a drop of.

"Betty im so sorry, are you ok, your not burnt are you" Henry said with concern, as he grabbed some tissue off her desk, and tried to wipe her shirt clean.

"No im fine Henry, don't worry about it!" Betty said snappily, without meaning to.

Betty looked up into Henrys eyes, and immediately felt bad for snapping at him. Much more calmly she said.

"Look honestly its fine, don't worry about it, I would have probably chucked it over myself at some point anyway you know how clumsy I am. I'm sorry I didn't mean to snap at you, its just that im late. And I really need to get Daniels breakfast to him, ill speak to you later alright?"

She watched his face turn from concerned to slightly angered within seconds. She knew she had just snapped at him, but she had apologised just as quickly, so she wasn't quite sure what she had done.

"Are you ok Henry" she said

"You have never bought me my breakfast betty" Henry said pointedly.

"Well that's because you can get your own breakfast Henry" Betty said slightly annoyed "What's this all about"

"Well Daniel can get his own breakfast, but that doesn't stop you doing it for him" Henry stated, as he glared at her.

Betty could feel the anger building up inside her. "That's not the point, I'm Daniels assistant, and I have always got him his breakfast, you know that she said" starting to raise her voice slightly " What exactly is your problem with that Henry"

" Well it seems to me that you care more about getting Daniels beloved breakfast to him, and snapping at me in the process, than talking to your boyfriend who is going to be leaving at the weekend. I thought you would want to see as much of me as possible until then, but I was obviously wrong"

"How dare you Henry" she said almost growling " You're the one who is leaving his girlfriend at the weekend, to be a father and ultimately spend all his time with another woman. Not just any woman but the mother of your child, And your trying to make me feel bad for bring Daniel some breakfast. Your just being pathetic Henry, and if that's how your going to be then yes your right, I would prefer to take Daniel his breakfast than talk to you"

And with that Betty turned her back on Henry, and walked away towards her desk. Leaving Henry standing there staring after her.

"Betty I'm Sorry I " Henry said quietly but before he could finish Betty cut him off "I don't want to hear it Henry, just go away. I'll c u later"

Henry looked at Betty's back, and turned away looking down at the floor as he walked off. Betty turned around and watched him go, as a single tear rolled down her cheek.
