Tidwell, Dani and Charlie watched as Bobby drove away with the pusher, and when they weren't able to see his car anymore, they turned and stared awkwardly at each other.
"I think I'm going home..." said Charlie, trying to break the ice.
"Oh, yes...to Cathy" threatened Dani.
"No, she left..." he cleared his throat and added "Do you need a ride to reach your car, indeed?" the question seemed accidental, but the look in Charlie's eyes left no doubt about his real intentions.
Her eyes widened a little "No...thanks, it..it's not far from here, I'll walk."
"I'm coming with you, my car is not far from yours" lied Tidwell.
Dani's eyes avoided deliberately looking at him "Thanks".
"So I guess I'll see you tomorrow morning" smiled curiously Charlie without turning away from her.
"Yep" was the answer she gave to the soil.
But after a second she decided otherwise and looked directly in his eyes. For fuck's sake: what she was about to do with Tidwell were none of Charlie's business, so why was she acting like she was doing something wrong for them?
Charlie watched Dani watching him. "Be careful-"
"Charlie…" Dani broke in to stop him saying whatever he was about to, but he was faster
"- it's a long road to your apartment."
She gaped and watched him turning his back, jumping in his car and leaving.
"Dani?" Tidwell stopped her train of thought "I'll understand if you don't want to -"
"- Let's go to your house" she said looking at him.
Tidwell's lips curled in an half smile "You sure?"
Dani smiled back and covered the distance between them, locking her lips with Tidwell's ones. He took her in his arms, and they exchanged a passionate kiss.
"I'm sure."
