Chapter 18: Fun at the Beach
Betty's room was in the right wing of the house while Daniel had taken a room in the left wing. After rummaging around in her suitcase for a minute, Betty found the bathing suit Hilda had given her to wear. Holding it up against her, Betty wondered what Daniel would think. The man in question was already waiting in the living room. It hadn't taken him long to change into a white T-shirt and dark blue swim shorts.
"Betty! Will you be ready soon to hit the beach?" Daniel yelled up the stairs after her.
In response, Betty appeared at the top of the stairs. She came towards him wearing a beautiful black daisy-patterned swimsuit with a matching silk gown. The suit outlined and flattered her petit, but sumptuously curvy figure in all the right places. Daniel stood with his mouth hanging open. He couldn't believe that Betty would actually wear something that revealing. And he had to admit, he was impressed. He liked what he saw. Realizing that gaping like a goldfish was probably not the most attractive look, Daniel quickly shut his mouth.
"Nice Swim suit, Betty," He told her approvingly.
Betty smiled.
"Thanks," She gave him a quick once-over, "nice swim shorts. Shall we head out?"
Daniel nodded.
"Do you want to walk along the beach for a bit? Talk to each other, maybe get to know one another a little better?" Daniel suggested.
"Sure, sounds nice," Betty said.
Daniel led Betty out back and down to the beach. It was a nice day. The sun was shining, the rays glistening on the water and the only sound was the gentle crash of the waves as they broke on the shore. Daniel and Betty walked along the beach in companionable silence; the soft sand squelching satisfyingly beneath their feet.
"Wow," Betty whispered, "It really is beautiful here. Thank you for inviting me Daniel."
"It's my pleasure," He smiled. "So Betty Suarez, tell me about yourself," Daniel said.
"What do you wanna know?" Betty said.
"Well, who are you? Likes and dislikes? You know; that kind of stuff."
"Ok. Well, I'm Betty Suarez. I'm 24 years old, live in Queens, New York. My likes are fashion, writing and reading. My dislikes: exercising."
Daniel chuckled at that last part.
Betty looked at Daniel.
"What about you Daniel Meade? Same question."
"Well," he started the way Betty had, "I'm Daniel Meade. I'm 28 years old, live in Manhattan, New York. My likes are exercising and having fun with my friends. My dislikes? I hate working."
Betty giggled.
"Working? Why? You seem so good at your job," Betty said.
Daniel shrugged.
"Come on Betty. The only reason I got the job was because my father handed it to me on a silver platter."
"That only proves that your father trusts you to handle MODE. And so far, you're doing a good job."
"With your help," Daniel said.
"Everyone can use a little help, Daniel," Betty said smiling at him.
Daniel smiled back at her.
"So Betty, we both know you don't want to be an assistant. What do you really want to be?" Daniel asked curiously.
"You," Betty said promptly.
"What?" Daniel was confused.
"I want to be you," Betty repeated, "I want to be editor of my own fashion magazine; a magazine where women don't have to pursue this fake idea of unattainable perfection; where you don't have to be skinny or have the latest hot It! item to be fashionably acceptable. I want to own a magazine that shows women that are smart and beautiful and proud to be who they are," Betty explained.
Yet again Daniel found himself in complete awe of the woman beside him.
"That sounds great Betty," he said, "You'll make an amazing editor one day."
Betty smiled.
"Thank you Daniel."
There was a comfortable pause between them, each one secretly studying the other.
"So if your father hadn't asked you to run MODE, what would you be doing?" Betty said after a moment.
"Good question," Daniel told Betty, "uh wow," He paused, "I've never really thought about it. I don't know Betty," Daniel admitted.
"Really? Well then maybe you are doing what you are meant to do," Betty said brightly.
"Maybe."
Betty suddenly stopped and moved to stand in front of Daniel.
"One more question," She said seriously. "Tell me Daniel. When was the last time you played tag?"
Daniel looked at her with a curious expression on his face.
"A while," he said slowly, "Why do you ask?"
"Because..." Betty gave him a quick slap on his shoulder, "you're IT!" She yelled and took off running.
"Not if I catch you first!" Daniel yelled racing after her.
Betty ran across the beach back to the deck and towards the swimming pool. Daniel was close behind and quickly gaining on her. Just as Betty reached the edge of the pool, Daniel grabbed her by the waist.
"Gotcha!" He yelled, smirking. But his momentum upset their balance and with a girlish squeal from Betty, Daniel ended up making them both fall into the pool.
When they came up from beneath the water, they were in each other's arms. Betty had the strangest feeling of déjà vu and couldn't help but notice how similar this situation was to the situation in her dream earlier. Daniel didn't know what was happening but he knew that he didn't want to let Betty go. He had an incredibly strong urge to pull her closer to him. But then, Daniel thought, maybe this wasn't the right time. So he let her go, albeit reluctantly.
"Come on, lets gets out," Daniel said quietly.
"Good idea."
They swam back to the edge of the pool. Daniel got out of the pool first then reached a hand to help Betty out. She shivered slightly as the cool air hit her wet skin. Daniel fetched them some towels. Putting his towel around his shoulders, Daniel wrapped Betty's towel around her and rubbed his hands up against her arms.
"That should warm you up," He smiled slightly.
"Thank you," Betty spoke softly.
"You're welcome," He matched her volume.
The intimacy of his actions had not gone unnoticed by either of them.
"So what now?" Betty asked.
"Well, first let's dry off. Then maybe unpack for a bit and then later, it's my turn to take you out," Daniel told Betty.
"Ok. And may I ask where we are going?" Betty said playfully.
"Oh, nothing fancy. But it'll be fun, I promise. What I have planned for us is going to be a surprise," Daniel said.
"I like surprises," Betty said.
Daniel smiled confidently.
"Well, Betty Suarez, you'll like this surprise."
