Lindsay sat on her couch watching Dick Clarke's New Year's Rockin' Eve when she heard a knock on her door. She checked through her peephole and saw Danny Messer looking around the hallway. He was holding a white paper bag in his right hand. Lindsay took a deep breath and opened her door" "Danny-" Lindsay started but Danny interrupted her. "Hope you like Italian" he said holding up the bag close to her face. He walked in and started to look through her cabinets searching for some plates. "Danny what are you doing?" Lindsay asked. "Are you kiddin' what are you doin? Alone on New Year's? He then continued his search. Lindsay wanted to protest say that he should go, but the truth was she wanted him to stay. Danny found the plates and set out everything on the table and then sat down. "Are you gonna sit or just eat standing up?" Danny asked looking at her. She pulled the chair from under the table and took a seat. "Why did you come" Lindsay asked Danny. "I didn't want you to be alone on New Year's" Danny replied. "How did you know I was alone?" Lindsay asked. "I took my chances" Danny answered with that beautiful grin of his. Lindsay took another bite of her pasta and smiled. "This is really good" she said. "Well it is from the best Italian place in the city." Once they had finished their meals Danny and Lindsay stood up, when Danny started to clean the dishes she protested immediately. "Danny, don't worry about that" she said going over to him and took the plate from him there hands touched briefly and Lindsay's heart started to beat fast. "How bout you wash I dry?" Danny suggested. She smiled at him. "Sounds good." They washed the dishes and made pleasant conversation. All of the sudden they heard the count down for New Years. Thoughts rushed through Lindsay's head. What should I do? Is he going to try to kiss me? If he does should I kiss him back? Oh no he is staring at me with those blue eyes of his. Our first kiss is going to be on New Year's. Maybe he won't kiss me. Oh he is defiantly going to kiss me. 5,4,3,2,1, HAPPY NEW YEAR! Their lips met. Lindsay could feel Danny smiling. She opened her mouth to let his tongue in. It was a great first kiss. I can't believe I just kissed Lindsay Monroe, Danny thought. I can't believe I just kissed Danny Messer, Lindsay thought. After minutes of kissing they broke apart grinning from ear to ear. "Happy new year Lindsay" Danny whispered "Happy New year"
