After a torturous evening with Marc and Amanda, Betty was glad to be back at work. Her face was still kind of numb from all the plucking, waxing, and scrubbing that went on last night. She should have known better than to think they'd go easy on her, this was Marc and Amanda, their specialty was pain. Apart from the discomfort, it was a pretty good night. They were almost nice to her, well if you ignored the times they made fun of her fashion sense. She had to admit though, they knew what they were doing. She looked so much better and all they did was pluck her eyebrows and wax her upper lip. She left once Marc started pulling out make-up and bras, she didn't even want to think about why he had bras her size at his apartment.

Walking into Daniels office to drop off his morning coffee and bagel, she couldn't help smiling. Tonight was their date, she had no idea where he was taking her but she was excited nonetheless. She even let Justin pick out her outfit, according to him, he was able to find something 'not too hideous', from her wardrobe. She wondered if Daniel would notice her changes today, granted they were small but she thought they were pretty obvious. Sitting at her desk, she sorted through Daniel's e-mails as she waited for him to arrive. Ever minute that past the butterflies in her stomach grew, why was she nervous now? From the corner of her eye, she saw Daniel walking towards her, he was wearing her favorite dark blue suit.

Daniel walked up to her and leaned on her desk, "Good morning Betty," he said, in a professional tone.

"Morning Daniel, your coffee and bagel are on your desk and I am almost done sorting your e-mails." She was rambling, she hoped he wouldn't notice. Daniel gave her a smug smile, she was nervous, rambling about what she was doing, not like Betty at all.

Standing up straight, "can I see you in my office a moment," he said walking away.

She got up and followed him in, luckily his curtain was still closed from yesterday.

She closed the door behind her but paused a moment, what if he changed his mind. Better to know now than later, she guessed. When she turned around, Daniel was standing right behind her. Giving him a coy smile, "what did you want to talk to me about?" she said, clasping her hands so she woudn't fidget.

"i just wanted to let you know I'll be picking you up at seven thirty, our reservation is at eight." He said, grasping her shoulders lightly and bringing her a bit closer to him. Those butterflies in her stomach became more insistent.

Looking up at him, "where... um, where are we going?" His proximity was making her more nervous.

"The Harrison, in Tribeca, it's not the hippest place but it has excellent food and a nice ambiance. The paparazzi won't bother us there."

"That sounds nice. I better get back to my desk before anyone notices I'm missing."

Daniel leaned down and gave her a quick kiss, "Go ahead." She gave him a weak smile and walked out, sitting back at her desk she couldn't help the smile that was plastered on her face. The sound of her phone ringing made her jump, "Daniel Meades office," she said without checking the caller-id.

"Betty, I just wanted to say, you look really nice today. Did you do something different?" Daniels warm voice asked.

"Um... yeah, Marc and Amanda insisted on waxing my eyebrows." She looked up but frowned, his curtain was still closed.

As if he was reading her mind, "I better open my curtain, I miss seeing you. Oh and Betty, I like the new look maybe Marc and Amanda are on to something." She frowned a little at that, did he not like the way she looked? She brushed the thought aside, he obviously did, he didn't ask her out for nothing. He was just being sweet, she liked sweet Daniel, she liked him a lot.

Becks was on a mission, get to Daniels office and check out Betty. She wasn't his type not by a long shot but he never turned women down. Once Danny was done with her, he'd take her for a spin, novelty, that's what is. Plus, ugly girls always worked harder, they wanted to rock your world so you'd want more than a couple hours.

"Hey sexy," he said, passing the hot blond receptionist. He could never remember her name but he knew Daniel banged her a few times. As he approached Daniels office, he could see the smile on Betty's face. At this rate his boy would be hitting it in no time.

"Hey doll, I'm just gonna go say hi to Danny," he said, ignoring Betty's protest.

"Sorry Daniel," was the last thing her heard as he closed the door.

Daniel looked up at Becks and shut his computer, he didn't need to pretend to be working anymore. Propping his feet on his desk, he gestured Becks to sit down.

"Man, am I glad to see you," giving him a curious look, Becks sat down.

"Whats up bro?" Daniel thought about for a moment before answering.

"Tonight is date night with Betty. Help me out here, I'm fucking dying, what are the chances of at least getting my dick sucked?" Seriously, Danny was so clueless, sure it wouldn't be long but it wouldn't be tonight.

"Dude, not happening, it won't be long. That chick has on big ass smile on her face, if her damn braces weren't so blinding it'd be almost cute. But trust me, you're not getting your dick sucked tonight but I say give it a week. For now my friend, pretend you're fourteen again and use your hand.

"God I fucking hate you, why can I have something on the side?" Daniel was so clueless.

"Cause she's your fucking secretary, chick knows how often you change your socks. You're too famous to be fucking around, last thing you need is some chick showing up here after a night of sexing. Trust me, it'll be worth it, just keep it in your pants a little longer." Daniel knew he was right but damn it, it was hard.

"You're right, I just hope you're right about the rest." Becks raised an eyebrow at that, he knew he was right about everything.

"Don't worry, I am right and you'll be thanking me when this is over. But I came here for a reason," Daniel looked interested for the first time since he walked in.

"Go on," he said. Becks knew he was the one pulling all the strings.

"It's time to go over the second part of our plan. You got part one down, she's going on a date with you. Harder than you thought, huh. Don't worry, you're in, man, you're in. You just have to be sure to play the part tonight right, everything has to be perfect. You have to essentially, be you. Make sure you check her out look at her boobs, you know the norm, just be more casual about it. She has to feel like you want her, it's the only way this will work." Daniel sat back and just listened to his friend, so far he'd been spot on, no reason to stop trusting him now.

I am so sorry I took so long to update, I feel awful. I've been having a hard time since UB has been canceled and this fic kinda left me. Every time I tried to write a chapter, I was totally blocked. So I started re-watching UB from season one and I got my inspiration back, I hope to be updating my other UB fic this weekend, if work doesn't interfere. Again, I'm sorry for the wait and I hope you enjoy this.
