Chapter 12
Once Betty started dozing off, her eyes grew wide realizing she hadn't called her family at all today. She quickly reached for her phone and sent a text to her sister
A minute later her phone started ringing with her sister calling. "Hilda!" she answered
"Betty! Did you forget about us?" her sister teased. Betty bit her lip, then said "No, it was just a busy night. We were reading DJ's Frankenstein book around the fire and only just went to bed."
"Wow, so how has your day been?"
Betty smiled "Really good, Hilda! I am really enjoying working with Daniel and even DJ. DJ did such a great job on his school work, we celebrated by decorating the house with Halloween decorations and baking cookies, and then we had dinner and watched a movie when Daniel got home, then DJ, Daniel and I were taking turns reading DJ's book. DJ is really starting to see me as someone on his side and not an enemy so that's great."
"I'm glad to hear that Betty. Now tell me what I really want to know"
Betty rolled her eyes, but said "I don't know what you mean"
"Oh yes you do, Betty! How is working with Daniel all day and living with him" Betty could hear the playfulness in her tone.
"Hilda, come on!"
"You, come on!"
Betty sighed knowing her sister wasn't going to stop asking, so she caved and said "Fine! I am loving working with him, ok! He's so…" Betty smiled "...charming, and sweet and we make a pretty great team. Every time that I've hung out with DJ and Daniel together, it's so much fun."
"Oh my God, Betty, it sounds like you're in love!" Hilda responded in surprise.
"What? No, I just think he's really nice!" Betty tried to protest, but she was pretty sure her sister was right.
"Mhm…"
Betty rolled her eyes and said "By the way, you guys are more than welcome to come to dinner this weekend. Just ask papi what day. Daniel and DJ want to do a barbecue thing"
"That sounds fun. Aw I miss you Betty!"
Betty smiled "I miss you, too, Hilda! Tell Papi and Justin I'll call tomorrow afternoon."
"Ok. Good night sis."
"Good night, Hilda."
"Sweet dreams…" Hilda sang in a playful tone before she hung up. Betty sighed, as she stared up at the ceiling, when she heard a very loud and annoyed "DJ!" come through on the walkie.
She then heard it click with a snickering sound, possibly from DJ. She wondered if DJ pranked Daniel after all. She picked up her walkie "Princess Sunshine. Are you ok, Daniel?" she giggled
"DJ! I am going to kill you!" came on the walkie. More snickering came through and Betty couldn't stop her laughs. They were so fun.
"DJ placed a squeaking toy rat in my bed!"
Betty laughed more, but held her walkie to talk, but burst into laughter when it connected. "BETTY! Are you laughing at me?!" Daniel's voice came through.
She giggled, then took a breath, when DJ's laugh came through again. "I hate you both!" came Daniel's voice over the walkie.
She laughed "Good night, Black Falcon, you know you love DJ."
An annoyed "good night" was uttered from Daniel. She smiled knowing that living with them was going to be far from boring that was for sure.
When Betty woke up the next morning she felt so relaxed and energized, despite the late night she had with DJ and Daniel. She realized she woke up at 6, so she decided to get dressed and put away her clothing and things from her suitcase.
Once she was finished she went downstairs to make some coffee and make DJ's lunch for school.
As she walked through the house she found her smile getting bigger. She couldn't believe she was actually living in such an amazing house like this. With a hot, sexy guy, no less. Well, with her boss and his son, but still. It was pretty exciting.
When she got to the kitchen she placed her book on the counter and proceeded to make the coffee and make DJ's lunch. She smiled as she thought about her new living companions. She enjoyed being around them so much. She never thought she'd be this happy to work as a nanny. It didn't even feel like work being with them.
She almost laughed thinking to last night how DJ pranked Daniel. Just as she finished making DJ's lunch, and picked up her book to read, her eyes grew bright as she got an idea.
Daniel heard a soft knocking and started to wake up wondering what that sound was, and realized it was at his door. He looked to the door in confusion, but reluctantly got up, feeling tired. He put on some sweat pants and went to the door, opening it to find "Betty?"
"Oh, uh, Daniel!" Betty blushed seeing Daniel wasn't wearing a shirt, and his pants were hanging low on his hips. She felt her heart skip a beat at seeing how hot the man was, with his strong arms, bare chest and tight abs and sexy eyes and… she realized she was staring when he looked at her with his eyebrow raised and said with a smirk "Betty? Uh...did you wake me up just to stare at me?" he teased, seeing that she got distracted by his lack of clothing.
He felt like grinning, she was so freaking cute, especially with her red blazer and white and black polka dot dress, with her matching red glasses, and having her check him out. How could this woman be so damn adorable?
She blushed brighter "Oh gosh, I'm sorry Daniel, I didn't mean to bother you, I just got an idea to help you prank DJ"
He chuckled "what? Uh...ok. Come in" he stepped inside to grab a shirt and saw she was still at the door. He laughed "Betty, you can come in."
She blushed, but slowly walked in, feeling a bit embarrassed.
"So, what's your idea?" he chuckled as he finished putting on a shirt and looked to her. She bit her lip, and took a breath of air "Well…" she started to tell him her idea and he nodded with a smile "I love it! That kid will be so annoyed when he wakes up"
Betty laughed. Daniel looked to her with a smile "You are so cool, come on!" he grabbed her hand and led her out. She smiled, feeling butterflies from him holding her hand. When they made it to DJ's door, Daniel was already laughing "Daniel, shhh.." Betty said trying to get him to be quiet but she giggled, too.
He grinned "Don't worry, that kid could sleep through a zombie apocalypse. It takes me forever to wake him up sometimes."
Betty smiled as he started to open the door slowly. Once the door was cracked open enough, they crept in, trying to be as quiet as possible, trying their best to hold their chuckles. DJ was sound asleep, hugging a pillow and half of the covers hanging off his bed. Betty giggled, and Daniel said "You shh…"
She bit her lip, trying not to laugh, but it was so hard not to. This was so funny. Especially when Daniel's foot got caught in the strap of DJ's backpack that was on the floor, and knocked something that was on his desk as he tried to keep his balance.
She held back her laugh as best she could, and Daniel winced, but luckily DJ was out like a light. Daniel quickly, but quietly put the alarm clock underneath a small pile of clothes he had on the floor, knowing DJ was going to go absolutely nuts trying to find it to shut it off.
He and Betty tested it out in is room and it was loud and annoying as hell, that was for sure. He knew he'd be annoyed, himself, hearing that thing.
Betty laughed once he placed it and ran over to the door nearly knocking into her; he pushed her out and once they were far enough away he burst out laughing. "Betty! You're so terrible at sneaking around!"
"Me? You were the one who made all that noise when your tripped over his backpack. I can't believe he didn't wake up from that!" Betty said with a laugh causing him to chuckle, then smile as he looked at her. "I'm so glad you're here. Who else could I ever do this kind of stuff with?"
She laughed "I don't know if that's a good thing, since we're sort of being terrible."
He grinned "That's why it's so great" She laughed.
"I'm going to go and get dressed for real and I'll be down in a few minutes." he said and she nodded "Ok...I made coffee already."
He smiled "Great, see you down there" He chuckled "I can't wait to see the kid's face"
Betty laughed "He's going to hate you"
Daniel laughed "Probably"
Nearly fifteen minutes later, Daniel was walking into the kitchen with the most gorgeous smile on his face as he placed his jacket on the chair, leaned across the counter and said "It should be going off any minute now!" a boyish excitement in his voice.
She laughed, but felt butterflies in her stomach at how attractive he was and remembering how insanely hot he was shirtless. His shirt wasn't totally buttoned now and he had his tie loosely draped around his neck, the mischief in his eyes and the playful tone in his voice and that beyond charming smile made him nearly impossible to resist.
She picked up her book when he walked around the counter to prepare his cup of coffee, trying to distract herself from staring at him like a silly girl with a crush. She stared at her place in the book, but all of her attention was drawn to him; she looked up from her book when she caught him look to her. "What are you reading there?" he asked curiously.
She held the book out to him and he nearly choked on his coffee when he read the cover. She looked at him in surprise, but then he said "Girls Like it on Top? Betty, uh...maybe you shouldn't read that kind of stuff with DJ around" he said, though was sort of intrigued.
She stared at him, then she burst into a fit of laughter.
He looked at her in confusion, but then smiled when she said with a laugh "Oh my gosh, Daniel! It's not that kind of book! It's a metaphor! These books are geared to empower women."
Daniel raised his eyebrow skeptically, but took the book from her hand and skimmed through it then looked at the back cover to see the author's picture and name underneath "Sofia Reyes, huh? I think I have a meeting with her next week. She's pitching a new magazine to me"
Her eyes lit up and she nearly screamed "What?! Oh my God, no way! That's so amazing!"
He smirked as he handed her the book back "Do you...wanna go to the meeting with me?"
Her smile brightened as said "Really?! Oh, that would be so awesome! I love her! She's like my idol. I quote her mantra every morning! Thank you, Daniel, you're the best!" she hugged him and he chuckled at her excitement. He wrapped his arm around her and took in the floral scent of her perfume. Goodness, even her scent made him smile.
When she let go she looked at him with an excited smile. He cleared his throat and placed her book on the counter and walked around to sit on the stool. "So, what's this mantra you quote every morning?"
Betty blushed but said "Uh…" she felt embarrassed now; it was one thing to say it in front of the mirror, but saying it in front of someone else...it was embarrassing.
He smirked and said "What? Is it another weird metaphor that girls like it on top?" he teased. "Don't get me wrong, that's totally hot, but maybe you should find a better role model." he stated playfully.
She blushed "no...it's just uh...I'm embarrassed to say it to you."
"Why?" he said trying not to laugh. She bit her lip, then took a breath and said "I'm a beautiful confident business woman" she blushed brightly as he listened, but he smiled and said "that's not so bad. I thought it was going to be more racy than that, but you don't sound so confident right now"
"That's because I'm embarrassed"
He smiled "Well, don't be. Come on, you have to actually be confident. You can't just say you are. Now say that mantra again, but be confident."
She bit her lip, but said "I'm a beautiful confident business woman"
He grinned "There you go. That's a little better. We'll work on it"
She blushed, still feeling embarrassed; her heart skipped a beat when he placed his hand on top of hers as he said "besides you are definitely beautiful" the look in his eyes was so enthralling she nearly forgot everything, but moved her hand away when she heard shuffling footsteps to see it was DJ coming over.
She and Daniel tried to be nonchalant as he came into the kitchen and grumpily slammed his backpack on the floor and groaned in annoyance. Betty and Daniel watched him and glanced to each other trying not to burst into laughter.
"You alright there, buddy? You look like hell" Daniel said trying not to laugh.
DJ placed his arms across his chest as he said "Ugh, I found this stupid clock in my room. It was so loud and annoying and I couldn't make it stop!"
Betty bit her lip to hold her laughs in whereas Daniel couldn't seem to suppress his chuckle as he said "Payback"
DJ's eyes grew wide as he yelled "DAD!" he punched his dad in the arm and Daniel rubbed it and said "Ow!"
DJ glared at his dad, but Daniel just laughed and hugged him. "I love you, DJ, you knucklehead. You're not the only prankster around here"
DJ pushed his dad, but smirked "I hate you"
Daniel looked to Betty with a grin, before he looked to DJ again and said "I love you, too, son"
Betty laughed and came over "DJ, come on, eat something before we leave. I packed extra snacks for you today" she said then glanced to Daniel with a playful smile. Daniel grinned, really enjoying the fact that he had a partner in all of this. It was making his life so much brighter.
