Chapter 7

DJ watched as his dad changed shirt after shirt and asked him repeatedly if he looked good. DJ rolled his eyes; his dad could be really dramatic at times.

"Hey, you made the reservations at that one place, right? I think she will love it." Daniel asked nervously as he put on his blazer.

DJ rolled his eyes, but couldn't suppress his smile at how frantic he was being over their 'date' with Betty. "Yes, mon dieu, papa, sil vous plait, Betty already likes you!"

Daniel became somehow even more nervous, "DJ, please, I uh, just wanna look good and make sure Betty has fun is all."

DJ rolled his eyes again. "Betty will love this place, certainement, et nous avon many fun things we shall do today."

Daniel sighed as he came over next to DJ, finally looking like he managed to put together something to wear. "Yah, you're right. I don't know why I'm so nervous. It's just Betty"

DJ grinned and winked "c'est because you're in loveeee." He teased.

Daniel's face became warm and his heart was doing some funny things since he woke up, thinking about Betty and their 'date'. "what uh…"

DJ shook his head, already stopping his dad from protesting "c'est vrai! I'm not a blind man, I can see you when you look at Betty et how you flirt with her, papa! et uh… the kissing!" He smirked. Daniel pushed him toward the door "alright, alright, fine so...I may have a slight crush on Betty."

DJ looked at his dad with his eyebrow raised. Daniel rolled his eyes "alright, fine! I think I'm crazy about her, but I uh… I'm not sure what uh...how this all…it's all just really confusing."

DJ grinned, as his dad walked out, "don't worry. I will make it simple" he said to himself, having discussed a 'plan' with Justin and Hilda and arranged with his grand'mere Claire.

His papa will surely be a silly man in love by the end of the night! This was going to be fun!

Betty was currently attempting to get dressed and was super excited to be spending the day playing tourist with Daniel and DJ. They were going to be here any minute and she was still not properly ready.

Okay, so she was also somewhat nervous. This was 'sort of' a date.

She picked out garment after garment, tossing them all over the bed and floor, feeling really unsure how she wanted to look. She wasn't sure if she should stick with a casual look, or dress nice or a combination. She was no good at this fashion stuff no matter how much her friends and family tried to help her.

She finally settled on white t-shirt that had "love' in red polka dots printed across the front and a pair of dark navy denim jeans, and a cute blue and red patterned scarf. They were going to be running around all day, afterall. She should be comfortable.

She looked in the mirror and smiled; she was so excited that she'd be getting her braces off soon. She wished her appointment could have been before her date so she could surprise Daniel, but nonetheless she was so excited to hang out with Daniel all day. She had missed him.

She had butterflies remembering their intense and amazing kisses, and how wonderful their combined holiday turned out. She had an amazing day with him and DJ and their families; and he had made her feel so special, somehow. Not to mention he was insanely charming and handsome. A loud knock on her door startled her out of her daze.

Shoot!

They were here already!

She quickly tried to put on her glasses and then her boots as she rushed out of her room and tripped over the foot of her end table and knocking over her coat rack by the front door making a loud thud.

"Betty? Are you ok?" Daniel called from the other side of the door.

She was flustered as she flung the door open with an exasperated breath, her hair fell over her face in places. DJ and Daniel shared a look then both gave her teasing smiles.

She blushed, feeling very flustered. Daniel chuckled as he came in helping her place back the obviously fallen coat rack while DJ helped pick up her coats and jackets snickering as he hung them up.

Daniel then looked to Betty with a fond smile, his heart lifting as he swept some of her hair that was in her face and out of place behind her ear. "You're so freaking cute! Let me guess, you tripped on the way to the door and knocked over the poor coat rack, huh?"

Betty blushed while DJ laughed "you are very clumsy Betty"

Her face was on fire as she said "no…"

Daniel laughed outright "you are, too, Betty! That's part of your charm, though!"

She blushed as she shoved his shoulder "meanie!"

He smiled as he checked her out, "you are so adorable" he surprised her by pulling her in for a hug. She found herself returning his perfect embrace, her face warming when they pulled apart to see DJ smirking as he watched them.

"So… DJ! Are you excited?" She was feeling super nervous again, trying to distract her heart from how crazy it was acting as she tried to take sneaking glances at Daniel.

Boy, did the man look good!

He was so hot!

He seemed to be looking extra gorgeous today in the charcoal grey coat he had, these dark jeans and his hair was styled a bit differently. She nearly sighed as she looked to him instead of paying attention to DJ as he said cheerfully "oui! I'm very excited. I get to see New York et uh…." DJ was very quick to notice she was watching Daniel.

"Betty!" He called loudly, then rolled his eyes. She blushed looking back to him, "sorry, uh...yah, I'm really excited too."

Daniel smirked as he watched Betty. She was looking way too damn cute. He loved her more casual fun outfit, and she looked really pretty with her straightened hair and her signature red glasses.

"Papa, we must go. We shouldn't be late!" DJ said noticing the time.

Daniel nodded "shit, you're right."

"Where are we going?"Betty asked, excitedly.

DJ and Daniel both grinned "it's a surprise!"

Betty's eyes lit up in curiosity "oo, ok...I can't wait to see!"
