Chapter 20
"The Morning After"
Daniel woke up to see Betty sleeping peacefully across from him; the early morning rays filtered in through the partially drawn curtains, bathing the room in a soft glow. Or perhaps it was them that were truly glowing. Watching her sleep, Daniel couldn't even begin to fathom how amazing the previous night had been. He felt lucky to be in love with a woman like Betty and lying here with her now. Betty slowly began to stir, her deep, brown eyes opening.
"Good Morning Beautiful," Daniel smiled lazily.
Betty's eyes widened in shock as she took in her surroundings; the events of last night flooding back to her.
"Oh my god," She covered her mouth with a sheet, "oh my god," she repeated like a mantra.
Daniel chuckled.
"Good morning to you too."
"Good morning," Betty said, her voice slightly muffled by the bed sheet.
"Why are you covering your mouth?" Daniel asked curiously.
"Bad morning breath," Betty replied.
"Oh I see," Daniel said easily, not caring in the slightest. "So how are you feeling?"
Betty sighed.
"Umm…good actually, pretty good," She paused awkwardly, "So where do we go from here?"
Daniel reached to gently play with a lock of her hair.
"Let's start with breakfast and then take it from there. Sound good?" He suggested.
"Sounds great," Betty replied.
"Good." Daniel pulled the cover back slightly from Betty's mouth and gave her a soft kiss.
"I'll let you get dressed and when you're ready, breakfast will be ready," Daniel said, slipping out of bed and putting on a robe.
Betty sat up, carefully covering herself with the bed sheet.
"Thank you, Daniel."
Daniel smiled and moved to sit on the bed in front of Betty. He leaned in, giving her another kiss.
"No. Thank you, Betty."

Daniel was making scrambled eggs, humming and dancing to the tune of "Let's stay together". The toast popped and Daniel moved to fetch the slices when he heard soft giggling. Betty was standing at the kitchen counter.
"Do you always do that while making breakfast?" She said, an amused smile tugging at her lips.
Daniel chuckled as he grabbed the toast and went back to flipping the eggs.
"No, I don't. You have good timing," Daniel continued, dumping the scrambled eggs unceremoniously on to two plates, "breakfast is just about done."
"Great, it smells really good," Betty said appreciatively.
Within a few minutes, Daniel finished fixing their plates and he and Betty settled down to eat. There was a silence that was just slightly awkward as they finished their breakfast; the memory of the previous night still fresh in both their minds. Betty didn't know where to go from here with Daniel. Being with him last night had been amazing. And she did care for him, she really liked him. She liked him a lot. But whether she was in love with him was a totally different story. Their night together still seemed like a dream and Betty wasn't certain of anything. Everything was going too fast for her.
Daniel, on the other hand, thought that Betty was the best thing that had ever happened in his life. He'd never felt like this about any other woman, and he wasn't going to be like Alex in "Two Weeks Notice." He needed to tell Betty how much he really does care for her. Daniel was about to tell her as much when Betty beat him to the punch.
"Daniel, last night…" She started awkwardly.
"Betty, hold that thought," Daniel interrupted.
"Daniel, please-"
"Betty, just let me say what I need to say," Daniel cut her off again.
"Last night…" He took a deep breath, "There are no words to describe what happened between us last night," Daniel's expression was a mixture of awe, bewilderment and something else she couldn't quite put her finger on.
"But I know what I was feeling," He continued.
"And what were you feeling?" Betty asked timidly.
"You are so different from the other women I've dated. And I mean that in a good way. You made me realize that love can come unexpectedly," Daniel told her.
"Love?" Betty said, hardly daring to breathe.
"Yes," Daniel nodded, gazing at her tenderly, "love. I know it's crazy; we've only just started to get to know one another. And I know that I may be going up against my family, my co-workers and even a part of myself, the worst part. But I can't help what I feel."
Daniel reached across the table for her hand, taking it gently in his own.
"I love you Betty Suarez, I love you," His eyes were dark and serious; he was looking at her very much like he had been last night.
Betty was stunned. She knew she should say something, her mouth opening and closing a few times as she tried to get something out. But what could she say to that; especially when she was still uncertain of the depth of her feelings for Daniel.
.
"Betty, now would be the time to say something," Daniel smiled tentatively.
"Daniel, I…" the house phone rang cutting her off.
Daniel made no move to answer it. What Betty had to say was far more important. Betty looked from Daniel to the ringing phone.
"Aren't you gonna get that?" She asked.
Daniel sighed and resigned himself to answering the phone.
"Hello?" He said, picking up the handset.
"Daniel thank god," The deep baritone voice of Bradford Meade boomed down the line.
"Dad?"
"Yes, this is your father. I've been trying to reach you on your cell," Bradford said.
"Sorry, Dad I had it off," Daniel explained.
"Well, leave it on from now on," Bradford told him firmly. "I'm sorry to have to cut your vacation short, but I need you and Betty to come back to New York. We've decided to bring the release date of your first issue forward. There's still a lot of work to be done and I need you back here now."
"Yes Dad. We'll be back as soon as we can," Daniel said.
"Good. And as soon as you get in, we need to talk privately in my office," Bradford told his son.
Daniel gulped audibly.
"I'll see you soon dad."
Bradford said goodbye and then hung up.
Betty could tell that Daniel wasn't too happy when he came back to her at the table. She looked at him inquisitively.
"That was my father," He answered her unasked question, "I'm sorry Betty, but he wants us to come back to work ASAP."
"Oh, it figures," She shrugged slightly, "Well we better get going then," Betty started to leave the table.
"Betty wait!" Daniel yelled, grabbing a hold of her arm, "Not so fast. I need to know what you think about what we were discussing earlier…before the phone call…"
Betty sighed.
"Daniel…I...this...us..." She struggled, "It's all going too fast for me. I mean, I don't know what to think or feel right now."
"What about last night? How did you feel last night?" Daniel asked.
"Last night, was amazing. Being with you, it was all so surreal for me Daniel. I'm sorry, but I don't know what else to say," Betty told him wriggling out of his grasp.
Betty started up the stairs to her room to pack leaving Daniel standing there, wondering what just happened.
