Love could happen to you, Messer

Rated: K

This is told in Danny's point of view.

Today was the day. The day that would define the rest of my life. On this defining day, I couldn't find the right outfit. Not to sound like a chick, but I can't look bad on the day I'm gonna propose to the woman I love. Today took a lot of preparation. Today at work, I almost killed flack for almost tellin'.

Flashback

" So what plan did you decide on?" Flack asked as he went through case papers with me in my office. I was stuck in the lab doing case files, while Lindsay was out interrogating a suspect with Sheldon.

" I'm going to take out to that new place Isabella de la Amour and then after that I figured we could go to this quiet rose garden, and I'd propose to her there." Don chuckled.

" Well Messer, this isn't like you."

" What? Like what?" I asked sorta offended.

" You know. All romantic, wanna ' sweep her of her feet, gone with the wind' stuff. Don't became a softly man, It'll blow your rep." Don teased with a sip of his coffee.

" You wanna be funny huh? Well, you ain't gonna ruin my good mood. I'm telling the woman I love I want to marry her, and you can't say anything to bring me down." I declared.

" I'll tell you this, when mac first put you two together I thought you'd hate each other forever. She's a girl from a quiet country town, and you the loud mouth Italian from Staten Island. Never pictured this, man. Not in a million years." Don scuffed in disbelief.

. "Nether did I man.Since the day I met Montana, everything seemed to change. She makes me think more, and changes my view of things. I don't have such a cynical, and sarcastic look at everything. She made me better."

" You got it bad dude. Lindsay better say yes, she got you bent outta shape like this." I laughed taking a sip of my coffee.

" Lindsay better say yes to what?" A voice that sounded a little bit to familiar to me. Flack turned around to see lindsay's face and I spit out my coffee.

" Umm. Better say yes to…" I franticly looked around the room for an exuse. I saw a piece of cake on the table and picked it up.

" To having a slice of this uhh… chocolate cake I baked you. Flack liked it." I looked to Flack for backup. Takin' the hint, he said,

" Yup! He's a great baker. The next martha stewart." He exclaimed with a fake exspression. I looked at him like " What?!"

I looked back to Lindsay and I handed it to her. I smiled sheepishly. " Surprise." She gave me a really weird look and took it.

" Um… thank you."

" So what did you find out?" I said changing the subject.

" Well, I found out that Tayla Kelly was not one of the shooters, but the gun we found her handprints on was not the murder weapon." I began to get back into the work mode, so I ushered her back to the lab and glared at don before I left the break room. By the look on his face, he was scared of the putcome of his almost slip.

End of Flashback

Now I'm back in my apartment checking my look before I leave. I decided to wear my blue button down shirt

with black dress pants and my black boots. I grab my keys, jacket and the orchids I bought for Montana, and look in the mirror.

" Okay Messer," I tell myself, " Get it together. Your Daniel Anthony Messer. You can do dis'. You love her. So get out that door, and as flack said, be gone with the wind." I shut the door and went to get the woman of my dreams.
