I'm so sorry I left this for so long. I couldn't decide on how I wanted it to end, originally I was gonna leave it open-ended but I changed my mind; more than once. This is it, the last chapter, thank you so much for keeping up with me. I'll be updating my other UB stories this week.

A couple of days had turned into a week. Daniel was going crazy, he did his best to act normal but it was strained. He knew she didn't want to be pressured but he was tired of waiting. She needed to make a decision, either she was with him or she wasn't, it wasn't fair to string him along. He knew what he wanted, why was this so hard for her? He had to talk to her again, he had to get her alone.

Betty knew what she wanted but a part of her kept holding her back. Daniel was an amazing person and she loved him. All this time they had been together was great, even if it was in the most unorthodox way. She couldn't help but wonder if a normal (or as normal you can get) relationship, with Daniel, would work. He was a playboy, he could have whoever he wanted. She was afraid, that one day he'd wake up and realize that wasn't her. She wasn't sure she could handle that type of rejection. She had to talk to him, he must be mad at her for taking so long.

Marc and Amanda watched as Betty and Daniel navigated around each other. To most people, they seemed normal but they could tell. The secret laughter and joking was gone. As much as both of them would never admit it, they regretted their actions. They missed the way Daniel and Betty were. They couldn't openly mock them anymore, now that their secret was out. They needed to talk but they were both so stubborn. Someone had to run interference and it would have to be them.

Betty walked into the closet looking for Amanda, she wondered what was so important. She had planned on seeing Daniel, but was waylaid by Amanda. She plopped down on the couch and waited for her. This better be good.

Daniel walked into the closet, he was agitated. He was about to go talk to Betty, when Marc called, yelling. Apparently, there a was wardrobe error, that would affect next issue. Marc better be here and he better be fast. He walked toward the back to sit down and stopped when he saw Betty. She was sitting there, looking down at her cell phone. She must have felt his presence, cause she looked up at him and smiled.

"Hey," she said, breaking the awkward silence. She was surprised when she saw him, it was as if she brought him with her thoughts.

"Hey," when did things become so weird, he thought. Here she was, the person he's been dying to see, to talk to and all he can say is hey.

"What are you doing here?" he asked lightly, he didn't want to sound accusatory.

"Waiting on Amanda, she called me about some emergency. She said I had to come help her sort it out, or the next issue wouldn't be on time. What about you?" Daniel smiled, finally putting two and two together. They were set-up, by the most unlikely people.

"Marc called, said there was a fashion emergency. He said I should high-tail my ass down here, so we can figure out a solution." Betty started laughing, she should have known. Amanda and Marc loved to meddle but she loved them right now for it.

"Daniel, we should talk... I was gonna go see you but then Amanda called." Daniel took the seat next to her.

"So was I... I was so pissed when Marc called, I was on my way to see you. This past week has been torture on me. I know you said you needed time and the last thing I want to do is pressure you, but I need something. I need you to give me something, even if its a request for some more time, I just need to know that... there's still something here." She gave him a sad smile.

" I'm sorry... I've been awful, you don't deserve this. I thought I would have worked it out faster but these issue kept coming up. I thought that I could deal with them alone but I can't. The only way to deal with them, is to talk to you about them. Daniel, there definitely is something here, I'm sorry I made you feel otherwise." He grabbed her hand and leaned back into the couch.

"Tell me about those issues. I promise you, we'll find a way of working them out. Just talk to me, stop shutting me out. If we're ever gonna do this right, then we need to start now." She gave him a big smile.

"When did you grow up?" she asked, jokingly.

"I think I started the process when I met you." He told her with a smirk.

"Daniel, I want to make this work. I want to be with you, I really do. I'm just scared that one day, you'll wake up and realize that I'm not it."

"What do you mean you're not it? Betty, to me you are it, you're everything, what's going on in that mind of yours?" Biting her bottom lip, she decided to be completely honest.

"I'm not a model, I didn't grow up with money. You've spent most of your adult life, with beautiful, wealthy women. When I first got here you only dated models, how can I compare to that." Daniel tried not to be offended but he couldn't help it.

"You really think so little of me? Betty, you've got it all wrong. They can't compare to you. You've been around for while, if I was gonna get tired of you, don't think I would have. I mean... you're amazing and I love you but you have to trust me. Otherwise this will never work and I want it to, I want it more than anything."

"I think very highly of you, Daniel and I love you. I guess it's myself I have issues with."

"Well don't, cause I have no issues with you. I think you're perfect the way you are and I want to be with you, for real. I don't want to sneak around anymore, I just want to take that next step and I want to take it with you."

"You've become so eloquent, through out the years. Give me a moment, while I pat myself on the back." She said, trying to lighten the mood, it worked. They both laughed at her statement.

"You're right, I don't want to sneak around anymore. I want to be with you, I'm sure with time, I'll get over my issues. I'm sorry for making you wait so long." she smiled.

"It's okay, you're worth it," he said wrapping his arm around her shoulders. "So when do we tell the family?" He looked almost pained, at the idea of going through that again.

"Tomorrow, lets just enjoy today. I was thinking, if you're done with meetings, we could leave work early and celebrate." she suggested, arching a brow.

"Best idea you've ever had, Betty." They both got up and he gave her a quick kiss, before grabbing her hand and leading her out of the closet. They both still had issues, but they'd work through them, together.

Amanda and Marc watched the two walk out from their hiding spot. Times like these, Amanda wished she had a camera in Daniels bedroom. Damn it, they'd miss all the fun.
