Chapter 7

The work day was officially over and Betty had already gone home. Daniel stayed late thinking about how he told Betty he loves her but then denied it afterwards. He was kicking himself so much for it. He knew he should of told her right then and there. After awhile Daniel decided to go drive home. He drove in silence to think about the day. He knew Betty loved Henry so respected it and did not want to get in the middle of it. He kept having dreams about her but he knew she would never like him in that way. Just the thought of Betty never loving him made him upset. He knew he could not let Betty see him all upset and depressed. Or she will wonder what was wrong and he will have to tell her. But he hopes eventually that Betty starts to love him or he will go crazy. So the next day he decides to pull Betty into his office.

Next day

Daniel calls Betty on the phone.

"Hey Betty can you come here for a minute I need to talk to you and shut the door behind you I do not want people hearing what we are talking about."

"Okay Daniel be there in a second." Betty walks into his office and closes the door. "What do you need me for?" Daniel kisses her. She is shocked at first but then accepts it and kisses back. "Okay what was that for?"

"I love you Betty."

"What?!"

"You heard me. I said I love you."

"But you know I am dating Henry right?"

"I know but I have held that in for way too long."

"I am a little creeped out I think I am going to leave now."

"Why?"

"Daniel I love Henry...not you okay just drop it and move on. Just like I basically told Gio when I left him for Henry." Betty exits Daniel's office and finds Henry to be standing near the door. Then Betty starts to cry.

"Betty. Whats wrong?" Goes over and hugs her. "Its gonna be okay."

"I just found out-" Sobs.

"Found out what?"

"Daniel..."

"What did he do you you? Please tell me...you can tell me anything you know."

"I know...Daniel just confessed he loves me then he didn't even give me time to respond to it then he kissed me. He knows I'm in love with you maybe we just forgot."

"Try and get the rest of the day off. If you can't then say you don't feel well and you need to go home. I will try to get the rest of the day off too and I can try and help you forget what had just happened. Okay?"

"Alright. I'll try." Goes into Daniel's office. "Hey Daniel I'm not feeling to well I need to go home."

"Okay...i hope you feel better."

Betty scoots out of the office so fast no one really knew she left.

One hour later

Christina went to Daniel's office to see where Betty was.

"Hey Daniel. Where's Betty?"

"She went home sick an hour ago. Why?"

"Oh I did not realize she even left. And I just need to talk to her."

"Try calling her. Her phone must be on."

"Okay thanks."

"No problem. Tell her I said hi."

"Will do." Christina leaves.

When Christina got back to the clothes closet she took out her cell phone and dialed Betty's number.

Phone rings.

"Hello?"

"Hello."

"Oh Christina hi."

"How you feeling? Daniel said you left sick."

"I'm not really sick. He totally creeped me out so I told Henry and we both had sick time so we just left."

"Oh what did Daniel do?"

"Called me into his office and he kissed me then told me he loves me."

"Does he know you love Henry?"

"Yeah but that does not seem to matter to him. Well I will let you get back to work."

"Bye. See you tomorrow."

"See you" Both hang up.

Christina tells herself to calm down before she looses control and goes to Daniel's office.
