Betty was the first one to wake up the next morning. She found herself tucked under Daniel, their legs tangled together in the sheets. A smile crept upon her face as she looked up at him sleeping. She instantly thought about the events of last night. After their scorching shower together, they went again four more times. That was a first for her, Matt and Henry could only give her two or three rounds, and forget about Walter. But Daniel, wow he just kept going. She also never felt so connected to someone in bed, it felt so natural and so right to be with him. Like they should have been doing this a long time ago…well, maybe not.
She felt Daniel stir, as he began to wake up. He kisses her forehead, "Hey," he says. "Good morning," she replies with a smile. "What a good morning it is," he adds, making her laugh. She wants to wake up like this every morning. Okay, calm down Suarez, she thought. She can't even believe what transpired between them, her and Daniel? The thought was inconceivable.
Her thoughts were interrupted by the sound of her phone vibrating across the room. Betty just remembered she was naked and suddenly felt self-conscious around Daniel, despite spending all night with him. She tried looking around for her clothes, but no luck.
"You don't have to get dressed for me," he laughs, noticing what she's up to. She laughs and gets up to retrieve her phone, but it has already stopped ringing.
3 missed calls from Marc? Weird. She was about to call him back but then Daniel's phone suddenly started ringing. It's right next to him, so he picks it up. "Hey Marc? Huh? Wilhelmina what?! Have I seen Betty? Not since yesterday." He gives her a panicked look. They were certainly not ready for anyone to find out about this, whatever this is. "Alright! I'll call her too," he hangs up. "Okay, so Marc is on his way to your room, Wilhelmina is gone and the models are missing. "What?!" she shrieks. "Okay, now I definitely have to find my clothes."
She scrambles around the room, finding articles of their clothing scattered around the floor. She throws her clothes on and gives Daniel a kiss on the lips before scurrying out of the room, "See you at the shoot! If there is one!"
Thankfully when Betty got back to her room Marc was nowhere in sight, but as soon as she closed the door she heard a knock on the other side.
"Heeeey Marc," she says nervously, opening the door. "Suarez," he says while pushing past her. "I've been calling you, and why do you look like yesterday?"
She rolls her eyes. "I just woke up! What is it, Marc?!
"The models are on a boat somewhere, and I have no idea where Wilhelmina is. And since you're in charge you have to figure this out."
Keep it calm Suarez, she thinks. "Oh my God!" she reacts as if it's the first time she heard the news. "What are we gonna do?"
"We?" Sounds like a you problem."
She frowns. How is she gonna pull this off? The models ran off, and without the models, there's no cover.
Suddenly Betty had the idea to get Shakira for the cover. She starts squealing and jumping up and down out of excitement. "I got it! Meet me downstairs in the lobby in a half hour," she tells Marc and rushes him out of her room. She has to get herself together first. Before heading into the shower, she takes a look at herself in the mirror and laughs. Marc was right, she did look like yesterday. More like last night, or early this morning.
The shoot went great! Shakira agreed to do the cover, and she loved Betty's ideas. She also looked amazing. Betty and Daniel kept stealing glances at each other on the beach. Okay, this shoot needs to be over so we can finish what we started last night. That thought made her blush. What is happening? This was so unlike her. She's having sex with someone she's not in a relationship with, but she doesn't feel weird about it. Maybe because it's Daniel, most likely because it's Daniel. Their shoot was rudely interrupted by Connor and Wilhelmina's drama as they were wrapping up. Apparently, Connor was alive this whole time? This day was a rollercoaster, but she knew exactly how she wanted it to end.
"Let's get out of here," Daniel approaches her. "Wanna grab some food and hang out in my room after?" he asks with a certain look in his eyes." Yes," she says with no hesitation. They both chuckle, knowing exactly what's on each other's mind. Before they walk off she takes a look at Marc, he's totally distracted by the Wilhelmina chaos. Thank God.
"What a day!" she says while they're sitting in the resort's restaurant waiting for the server to come out with their food. The shoot pretty much took all day, with all of the last-minute changes and new creative direction. Betty ordered stewed fish, peas and rice, and fried plantain. Daniel got fried fish, baked mac and cheese, and salad. They took bites of each other's food and ended their dinner with some delicious dessert. Rum cake, with ice cream and strawberries. Some other people from Mode were scattered around the restaurant, so Daniel fought the urge to feed Betty, but they had a game of footsie going on under the table. "Are you ready to go? Because I am," she asks him. "Definitely," he replies with a laugh. They see Matt and Amanda walking up to the restaurant as they're walking out, Betty almost forgot about them.
"Are you okay, Betty?" Daniel asks when they're out of earshot. He grabs her hand and squeezes it. "More than okay," she smiles.
