So this was supposed to be the epilogue, however my mind has taken me else where. I started writing a new fic, but this idea wouldn't leave me alone. So I decided to continue this story for a little longer, hope you enjoy.
The alarm started buzzing at 6 in the morning. Betty disengaged herself from the arm around her waist and walked to the shower. It has been six great months, Betty thought to herself. For the first time, she had a relationship that was well balanced. Her family loved him, he got alone with everyone, he made her laugh; she was happy. She walked into the room to dry off and get dressed for work. He was still sleeping, he hated waking up early. She decided to give him a few more minutes of sleep. She made her way to his kitchen, or their kitchen as he'd put it, to make some coffee. As she was moving around the kitchen, she heard shuffling from the room, he was up. She smiled, she could hear him muttering to himself. She popped some toast in the toaster and took out two mugs, she knew what was coming next.
"Betty, have you seen my watch." He called out from the room.
"Nightstand." She yelled back.
Ever since she brought some of her own things over, he seemed to lose everything. Every morning it was something different, sometimes she thought he did it on purpose.
"Good morning." He said, as he strolled in the kitchen, giving her a quick kiss and grabbing the coffee mug.
"About time." She said.
"Well your calm, I thought you'd be nervous. First day at a new magazine."
"It's still a Meade magazine, I know most of the people there. Come on I made through Player, I'll be OK." she told him.
He gave her a knowing look.
" I have no doubt you'll be fantastic." he said.
"OK, I'm a little nervous but the excitement is greater. M Magazine, is the NY Review's biggest competitor. I just want to be good, you know."
"You will be. Betty, I don't know anyone with as much drive or talent as you. Don't worry you'll be great. Plus, your the boss, learn to delegate." He said.
"Oh god, now I'm nervous." she said.
"Enjoy it." he told her.
" I'll try." she said.
"Is it gonna be weird?" he asked her.
"What do you mean?" she asked, even though she knew what he was referring to.
"Well now that Daniel, has left Mode, to run Meade enterprises. Your gonna go to those monthly meetings. Is it gonna be weird for you? I know you guys haven't spoken much since your break up. And we both know he's not happy about us." He said.
"It'll be fine, I'm sure he's over it." She said.
"I doubt he is."
"Of course he is, he is with someone else too."
"Trust me, he's not over it. Do I need to worry?" He asked her.
"No, of course not." She told him, but she wasn't really sure. She's happy she kept telling herself, Becks was a great man. Yet the thought of seeing Daniel, made her uneasy and excited. She wondered if he was thinking the same thing.
Daniel was looking through the paper's on his desk. When he decided to concentrate on Meade and let Wilhelmina control Mode. He thought his life would be less hectic, he was wrong. He finally saw, how much the other magazine's were struggling. Mode was basically holding the company together. He reorganized the magazine's, fired and hired people, he searched though hundreds of resume's. Luckily his mother was there to help him. On the night they were separating candidates for interview's, she found Betty's resume among them all. She stopped him from crumbling it up and throwing it away. He was glad she did, he wouldn't have been able to promote her, with out her pushing him. Even though he knew she deserved it and would be the best for M Magazine, he was still hurt. He knew he'd see her now, there was no helping it. He left Mode for that reason, he never told anyone. He couldn't bare seeing her, after their break up. He moved upstairs, to his father's old office and took refuge. He never ran into her anymore, he could come and go and not worry. But now it was about to get harder, today was her first day. He'd have to go down to M Magazine and officially introduce her, to her new staff. He was nervous, he dressed extra carefully this morning. Even Ely, his girlfriend, wondered why he was so keen on his appearance. He managed to brush it off, without giving himself away. He wondered if Betty was happy, he stopped talking to Becks, when they started dating. He knew he was being childish but he couldn't bare it. He knew he had to get himself together, in thirty minutes, he'd see her. Maybe he won't feel anything for her, maybe the feelings will be gone. He hoped they would be, but in the back of his mind he knew they were still there. Did she ever think of him? He wondered if she regretted, how things ended. He wanted to place the blame solely on her, and in his mind most of it was her doing. But he knew he played a big part of it, they fell apart, he not only lost his girlfriend but his friend. But now he was the head of Meade, he had to be professional, and he would be. It was time, he had to go introduce Betty. He got up and made his way to M Magazine. He could do this, a quick introduction and leave. He could do this...
I hope you guys don't hate me to much for this. I'll have a new chapter up soon, this one was kind of short.
