Again, sorry it takes me so long to update. Work has been keeping me busy, which is a good thing. This story still has a way to go, hopefully Daniel isn't too repulsive. Thanks for the great comments and especially for the two angry e-mails, lol.

Betty finally made it home, she had Daniel's car service drop her off. She was still fuming, she couldn't believe his audacity. She got into bed and forced herself to sleep, if she was lucky she could get a few hours of it. The annoying ring of Betty's phone woke her up, she reached for it without opening her eyes.

"Hello," she answered still asleep.

"Betty, I'm sorry to bother you but I need your help." Daniel's raspy voice said at the other end of the line. Betty glanced up at the time, she couldn't believe it was noon, she felt as if she just fell asleep.

"What is it Daniel?" She wasn't in any mood to help him, he didn't deserve it.

"I'm barely mobile, I don't even remember coming home. All I remember is Becks calling me to him for a quick drink, when I was on my way home from dropping you off. I must have had to many drinks when we were out, I imagine I kept drinking with Becks. Now I feel like I'm dying, can you please come over and bring me some aspirin. I'll make sure to include it in your OT." He was practically whispering, he sounded so pathetic. Even though Betty was still upset with him, he was her boss.

"Sure, I'll be there in a little while, I'll bring you some food too."

"You're the best Betty." He said before hanging up.

Betty got out of bed and headed to the shower, today was gonna be a long one.

"I know I've said this before, but you should be an actor Danny." Becks said.

"She's said she was on her way, so you better get going. She'd be more than suspicious if you were here, especially since I let it slip that we were talking about her naked."

Becks started laughing, "you told her that? What was her reaction, was she flattered?"

Daniel looked pensive, "no, that's what I expected. She was actually insulted, I defiantly lost points with her. It's OK though, I'm gonna pretend I don't remember. She doesn't know me well enough to know I wasn't as drunk as she thought." he told Becks.

Becks got up and started pacing, "dude I thought you were hammered. You totally had me going, I even offered to call your ride. Why didn't you let me in on the plan?" He asked Daniel.

"Well when you left I was drunk, but the bartender started giving me coffee and he called Betty. By the time she got there I was sobering up, but I thought it was a good way to see how far I can push her. I even fell on my ass, taking her down with me, you should have seen it."

"I'm impressed Danny, really. So what's the plan for today?" Becks asked interestedly.

"Well, she bringing me lunch and aspirin. I figured I'd ask her to stay, slowly bring up last night and beg for forgiveness, when she tells me what I said."

Becks looked impressed, "well I'm gonna go. Let me know how it goes today, you're good Danny, you're good." Becks walked out of his apartment smiling, he didn't know Daniel had it in him.

Daniel was laying on his couch, looking pitiful, when Betty walked in. Daniel turned his head to look at her, "Betty, I'm so happy to see you." He said weakly.

Betty walked over to him with a bottle of water and aspirin in her hand. Placing her bags on the floor by him, she handed him the water and pills. "Take these, I'm gonna heat up the soup I bought you." She grabbed the paper bag off the floor and walked into his kitchen. He looked miserable, as much as she wanted to stay mad at him, she couldn't.

After warming up the soup, she walked over to him, helped him sit up and went around his apartment, opening the curtains.

"No, leave them closed, the light hurts my eyes." He complained.

"Trust me, you need some light in here. Your eyes will feel better in a few minutes, now eat." After opening up the curtains, she took a bottle Gatorade out of her bag.

"This always makes Hilda feel better," she said handing him the bottle.

"Thank you, I'm so sorry for ruining your Saturday. I don't know why I drank so much, I don't know how I got home. I'm so embarrassed." He said not looking up from his soup.

Betty instantly felt sorry for him, he wasn't bad, just misguided.

"Don't be embarrassed, you're not the only person this has happened to." She said.

"Has it ever happened to you?" Daniel asked her.

"No, but it has to Hilda. Last night the bartender called me, I picked you up and brought you here. No one will ever know, so don't worry." She said, Daniel finally looked up at her. "Thank you, I don't know what I'd do with out you." he said.

"Well if you're feeling a little better, I'm gonna go. I should get started on that expense report." She said smiling.

"Stay please, I really don't want to be alone. I should be OK soon, let me buy you some lunch. We can watch some TV, talk, it's just... kind of lonely here." That was all he had to say, Betty knew what it was like having a family. Daniel didn't have that luxury, his family was more messed up than a soap opera. "OK, I'll stay but only for a little bit. I do need to get home and work on that report." She told him, Daniel just smiled at her.

"That was the most violent film I've ever seen." Betty told Daniel.

"Oh come on, it's violent but it's not the most violent. I can't believe you've never seen Fight Club before." Daniel said.

"What can I say, it's not the type of movie that catches my eye."

Daniel looked at her with one eyebrow raised, "so what kind of movie catches your eye?" he asked.

"The Devil wears Prada, Love Actually, Harry Potter... that's all I can think of at the moment." she said sheepishly.

"Ah, you like those girly movies. I've never seen any of those, any good?"

"You've never seen Harry Potter?" She asked obviously shocked.

"No, it's a kids movie, isn't it?"

"Well it started that way but many adults like it. You have to see them, I think you'll like them."

"Tell you what, you bring them by one day and we'll have a Harry Potter marathon." he said leaning a little closer to her. Betty felt a blush covering her cheeks, he was leaning a little to close for comfort.

"I should be going, look at the time." She said standing up suddenly.

"Wait, before you go, I need to ask you. Did I do or say anything stupid last night?" He asked giving her the most innocent look he could muster.

"Um... no, you were fine," she stammered, obviously lying.

"We need to teach you how to lie, you're no good at it. Come on Betty, tell me, I need to know."

"You asked me... if you could... um... see me naked."

"What? I said that?" He said trying to look shocked and embarrassed.

"Yeah... you said you and Becks were talking about it. About what I look like, I don't know why you would." She said getting angry as she remembered. "I know you were drunk, but it's still messed up to make fun of someone, especially if they're gonna find out about it." Betty went from mad to miserable in a minute, now she was just embarrassed.

"Betty, I'm sorry, I really am. I was totally out of line, please forgive me. I want you to know that if I was talking about it, I wasn't making fun of you. It's very possible that in my drunken state, I would mention something like that, but trust me it wasn't to make fun of you. It was cause I was curious, I'm sorry if I spoke about it to Becks, that was wrong." He appeared to be really sorry, Betty instantly forgave him.

"It's OK, I understand. Why would you be curious about something like that?" She tried not to ask but she couldn't help herself.

"Well you know I am a lover of women, even though most of my women lately, look like toothpicks. I always did like women who actually had something to them, who looked womanly. Lets face it, you do, I can tell that under all those clothes, there is a great body. I'm not sure why you hide it, but that is your choice. Please don't take this the wrong way, I'm not looking to be disrespectful, I'm just a man." He gave her a weak smile.

Betty was speechless, Daniel looked at her like a woman. She was flattered and scared, a part of her felt he was playing a game with her.

"Um... OK, this is kind of weird. But it's OK, you were drunk, we are fine. I... really need to get home. I hope you feel better, see you on Monday." She stammered out gathering her things and making her way out.

"See you Monday, Betty."

After Betty left, Daniel picked up the phone and called Becks.

"How did it go?" Becks answered.

"Great, too great. I think this may be wrong, Becks. She's a nice girl, I don't want to hurt her." Daniel said.

"I feel you, well I guess you can just keep letting your dad run your life then." Becks said.

"How is keeping Betty, letting dad run my life?"

"Cause like everything else you do, it was his choice. He picked her, so you would do his bidding. At the end of the day, Betty is his employee, not yours. But I understand if you can't go through with it."

"Damn you, plan is still on." Daniel hung up the phone.
