* I don't own anything, CSI:NY belongs to the people who have the rights to it. Mac and Stella belong to each other. :D
Lindsay was sitting behind her desk in the office she shared with Stella. The warmth of the New York sunset had enveloped the city as it warned the people of the fast approaching nightfall.
She had just finished the pile of case reports sitting at the corner of her desk. She got up and carried the paperwork she had completed to the boss' office. Lindsay also had to ask permission for something.
Mac's office was empty and there was no sign of him around. Lindsay decided to set down the folders in a neat pile on his desk and wait for him in his office.
"Hey, Linds," Stella greeted her, entering Mac's office as well. "Where's Mac?"
"Hi, Stell. No idea where he is. I just came in to submit some reports and I need to ask him something."
Stella sat down on the couch in Mac's office and took off her shoes.
"Man, my feet are killing me!" Stella joked and both of them laughed. "I swear, whenever I hear 'heels' I think of pain. I can't wait for the weekend. I'm gonna get a massage."
"Hey, wanna play a game?" asked Lindsay, sitting down beside her. "Might as well keep myself entertained while waiting for Mac."
"Sure. What game did you have in mind?"
"It's just this game me and my college buddies used to play. I say a word and you say the first thing that pops into your head."
"Kinda like what the psychologists do?" Stella asked, amused.
"Yeah, exactly. That's funny; my roommate's dad was a psychologist," Lindsay chuckled. "Alright, let's start. Uhmm… New York?"
"Big apple," Stella said quickly.
"Law enforcement?"
"NYPD."
"Crime?"
"Murder," Stella replied. "Can you mention words that are not related to work?"
"Alright, alright," Lindsay agreed. "Blue?"
"Tiffany's."
"Ring?"
"Engagement."
"Mac," Lindsay called out as she noticed Mac walking into the office.
"Hot," Stella blurted out.
"Hey, something I can help you guys with?" Mac asked them, smiling.
/ Oh, no! Did I just respond to 'Mac' with 'hot'? I said it out loud didn't I? / Stella tried to look calm even though on the inside, she could feel her heart beating nervously against her chest, hoping that neither Mac nor Lindsay heard what she said.
A little cliffhanger. haha.
Reviews welcome. :)
