4
The last two weeks of Betty Suarez life had been… different to describe it anyway she could. The past two weeks had found her, Anna and Daniel spending time together…it had been strange at first to have Daniel taking them many different places but she couldn't argue with the fact that Anna never seemed as happy as she has been. Daniel had even sent his personal car to collect her from school when Betty was swamped at work and he even took her and Justin out to a Broadway musical, at first she simply thought it was what any friend would do for another but slowly Betty understood why Daniel was lavishing Anna with so much attention… she figured out that he wished for his own child he was probably feeling the fatherly need and Anna was the reason he was feeling that way.
And though a little voice in her head was demanding she shouldn't let this go to far she couldn't say no to her daughters happiness nor Daniels. It made her smile a little more each day as Anna would talk non stop about Daniel and their outings.
It wasn't just Daniel and Anna either, Betty's father seemed happy with the knowledge that his granddaughter was bonding with another male and even Hilda was happier, helping her niece get ready for her 'dates' with Daniel.
Glancing at her watch she smiled at having won at least one argument this week with both Daniel and Anna, with the latest of MODE magazine being prepared Daniel was far too swamped with work for Anna to be brought to MODE today so Hilda had agreed to pick her up. Looking to her boss Betty couldn't help but smile as she watched him bend over his work trying to get everything ready. Betty enjoyed watching him of late; she had assured herself that it was because he was changing in a good way.
Sighing Betty got to her feet and moved around her desk, taking one last look at her boss with another beaming smile before she went to get herself something to eat before returning to her work. As she made her way to Amanda's desk her breath hitched when someone walked out of the elevator.
Tucking hair behind her ear and smiling with giddiness she waved as Henry looked at her smiling his own giddy smile.
"Henry" Betty greeted as Amanda watched the pair with a curious disgust and both unaware of the look as Henry hurried over to Betty.
"I heard about the big fashion designer and figured you would be working hard so I thought I might sort of you know tear you away for twenty minutes to grab something to eat" Henry chirped as he pushed his glasses up his nose. Feeling the blush rush to her cheeks Betty nodded ducking her head so her hair would cover her blush.
Clearing her throat she looked back and smiled even more "I was just going to grab something to eat… I mean… I was heading that way" Betty gushed as Henry beamed at her and pointed to the elevators.
"I can go that way too… I mean if you don't mind the company" he said as Betty shook her head and stared at him. Amanda silent gag as the pair stood still watching other before going back to her magazine.
"Shall we then" Henry declared quickly as Betty nodded and walked along with towards the elevators watching him with a grin which he returned. Amanda snapped her head up when Betty managed to walk straight into her desk and Henry held her arm both talking over the other.
Amanda groaned when the two were out of ear shot before Marc slid up to the desk "and how is my lovely gal today" Marc questioned as Amanda flicked through her magazine.
"I don't get it… she has two guys eating out her hand" Amanda snipped causing Marc to frown at his friend then covering her magazine pages with his hands.
"Who are we bitching about today dear" Marc questioned as Amanda snapped her head up and gave him a glare.
"Betty… first Daniel and now Henry… again" Amanda declared as Marc sighed and nodded removing his hands in fear of being stabbed by the pencil with in reach of Amanda's hands.
"What can I say" "how does she do it" Amanda demanded causing Marc to lean his elbow on the desk and rest his chin on his fist.
"Is my podgy pumpkin all moody because ugly Betty is getting more attention" Marc questioned before Amanda growled and grabbed the pencil and slammed into Marc's hand causing him to exclaim in pain and drag his hand back giving Amanda a glare.
"It's that kid…she has some sort of power" Amanda stated while Marc cradled his hand checking to make sure it wasn't bleeding and whimpering.
"You broke the skin… I'm bleeding" Marc exclaimed hysterically holding his hand but Amanda simply pushed his hand away and placed a finger against her chin in deep thought.
Marc still whimpered as he massaged his bruising skin before the elevators opened once more and Hilda stumbled out with a stumbling Anna behind her.
"Aunt Hilda… I could have made it up here my self" Anna declared but Hilda chose to ignore her.
"Hey… Betty Suarez, need her" Hilda demanded as both Amanda and Marc gave her a once over. Rolling her Anna dragged her aunt towards her desk and dropped both her aunt's hand and her backpack at Betty's desk.
"I'll here until mom gets back… I won't cause too much trouble and I'll tell mom that you had something important job thing" Anna said with a firm nod before Hilda bent down in front of her niece straightening her pale yellow shirt.
"Honey… it's not every day your aunt is asked to help out at a big beauty show" Hilda exclaimed smoothing the girl's hair down. Anna rolled her eyes and pushed her aunt's hands away from her.
"Mom will be ok… go!" Anna ordered as Hilda frowned before gasping jumping to her feet.
"I'm going to be late… wish me luck" Hilda ordered as Anna beamed up at her and nodded "good luck Aunt Hilda" Anna chirped before Hilda kissed her and grinned.
"So cute… bye" Hilda declared before she raced towards the exit waving over her shoulder and Anna sighed before climbing up on her mothers chair waiting for her return. She looked into Daniel's office to see him working hard not even looking up.
Amanda and Marc however were watching the young child closely before Marc looked at Amanda.
"So is she your new nemesis" Marc asked narrowing his eyes while Amanda studied the girl.
"She's six Marc" "they start younger and younger" Marc offered before Amanda growled and picked the pencil back up making Marc whimper again and hold his hand to his chest once more.
"Go find out her secret… know your enemy" Marc offered with an all knowing on his face before Amanda steady a glare at him.
"Marc, give me your hand" Amanda ordered causing Marc to look at her and raise his eyebrow.
"Why" "so I can drive the pencil into it again" Amanda ordered causing Marc to take a step back holding his hands to him protectively then looking to Anna again.
"Talk to it… discover it's secretes and don't stab me" Marc ordered as Amanda groaned before she walked out from her desk and looked to Marc expectantly, he groaned and rolled his eyes before he followed Amanda still clutching his hands to him as they walked over to Anna.
"Don't get too close" Marc hissed as Amanda stood over Anna who lifted her brown eyes up to the pair.
"So your Betty's kid?" Amanda questioned folding her arms while Anna nodded with a small smile her eyes flickering back between Amanda and Marc then back.
"She kinder looks like Betty" Marc stated peering at Anna as though she held a secret that he needed to discover.
"Yes I do… are you a model" Anna asked looking to Amanda who narrowed her eyes at the girl.
"No" she snipped before raising an eyebrow before dropping her arms and tucking her hair behind her ear.
"Why" she questioned as Anna shrugged and beamed at her "your pretty… I thought you were a model for MODE" Anna stated as Amanda slowly smiled and straightened her pink suit out.
"I could have been but I decided I didn't want to be… even though I had offers from tons of companies" Amanda declared priding her self. Marc snorted and rolled his eyes "yeah dairy queen" Marc muttered before catching the glare Amanda was throwing at him. Gulping Marc grinned at his friend and held his hands tighter to him "very pretty sweetie" Marc amended before Amanda looked back at Anna who was giggling at Marc.
"I like you… your funny and your hair is nice" Anna chirped causing Marc to slowly grin himself pushing his hair back a little with a proud look on his face.
"I like you better then the models they just glare at me… I don't think they like" Anna pouted before she sat up and grinned.
"I bet if you asked Daniel he would let them take your picture and put in the magazine he's really nice and smart and he wouldn't need to ask those nasty models because he would have two instead" Anna declared excited causing Amanda and Marc to share a look before they both laughed.
"Nice" "smart" they both mumbled through giggles before Anna frowned then slumped down.
"He would never do that" "your right… he doesn't like upsetting the models" Anna admitted brining Amanda's and Marc's attentions back to her. Tilting their heads as one they both looked at the girl before Amanda folded her arms.
"I like you" she stated coolly as Marc nodded in agreement "me as well… your secrets are safe young child" Marc stated as Amanda nodded before Anna giggled and watched the pair.
"You two are funny as well" Anna chirped while the pair raised their eyebrows at her and smiled despite themselves. At this moment the door to Daniel's office open and he walked out holding a folder.
"Betty I need these taking- what are you two up too" Daniel demanded as he looked to Marc and Amanda who both spun to look at him while Anna stood up and waved to Daniel.
"It was the child" Marc declared pointing with fear at Anna who rolled her eyes. Daniel smiled at Anna before knelt down and held his arms out. Anna climbed down and raced around Amanda straight into Daniel's arms, with a chuckle he stood up and looked at his favourite girl.
"Where's Betty" Daniel asked looking to Amanda who shrugged "feeding or something… her sister dropped the child off" Amanda stated as Daniel nodded before smiling at Anna.
"Want to spend some time with me" he asked as Anna bounced in his arms with happiness.
"Amanda take this down to editing" Daniel ordered before he saw the defiant look on Amanda's face before he sighed and held the folder out to Marc.
"Take this down to editing" Daniel ordered as Marc jumped then went to answer when Daniel gave him a glare. After a few seconds Marc hurried forward and took the folder.
"I would be glad too… I'm going that way, I need medical attention for my hand" Marc gushed grinning before turning and scurrying away while Amanda rolled her eyes and walked back to her desk.
"I like them" Anna declared causing Daniel to look back at her raising his eyebrows "really" he questioned a little disbelieving but Anna still nodded seriously before Daniel laughed and shook his head.
"You're the only one" Daniel muttered as Anna frowned at him "what do you mean" Anna asked as Daniel smiled at her and shook his head taking them back into the office.
"Nothing… come on, you can help me with the magazine" Daniel offered before Anna cheered.
please review please pretty please... Anna and Daniel are just going toget cuter.
