This one shot is set just after 'Pretty Man' and although not that funny, it's kind of sexy and I think it does match their characters when they argue. Enjoy :)
"IM NOT DONE WITH YOU LAHIRI!" Danny shouted chasing her across the road. He'd propped his beer on the nearest step and threw the cigarette to the ground angrily.
"But Mr... Dr Castel- DANNY! You're piano!" Parker shouted nervously.
Danny had just reached the other side of the pavement, and grabbed Mindy's arm but on hearings Parker he spun round on his heels, his face burning up.
"I swear to god Parker just being a god damn man and handle it or so help me I will write you such a bad reference prison won't want you." He said loudly through gritted teeth. He still had a hand firmly holding Mindy who was attempting to wriggle her arm nodded frantically and quickly disappeared back into the building.
"Hey get off Castellamo! Seriously I will shout rape!" Mindy said hitting his hands.
He let go briefly, moving his hand to her wrist.
"I'm not finished talking! How dare you-"
"HOW DARE ME?!" Mindy barked back. "You lied to MY BEST FRIEND!"
"You bought a man, who sells his body into my home!"
"Oh get over it that was over like twenty minutes ago." Mindy pulled at her wrist, but his grip was still too strong.
"Yeah! Twenty minutes. Thirty minutes ago I had a girlfriend! You still want to talk about that!"
Mindy was stumped. She didn't mean to drop him in it, but she had an inability to back down.
"That's different..." She began, but he cut her off. He released her wrist and his arms started flailing around.
"It's not! What you did was worse! What if I told your next boyfriend about this man hooker?! You'd be mortified! So why do YOU of all people have any right to decide what I tell my girlfriends?!" His face was red and his breathing heavy.
Mindy took a step back and found herself almost fully backed against a wall.
"SHES MY BEST FRIEND!" Mindy shouted, she too extended her arms, hoping this would make her point more valid than Danny's.
"You ruin everything." Danny said, his voice barely above a mumble. He didn't have the patience to fight with her right now.
"Woah woah woah! No way are you putting that on me! I'm not the emotionally damage divorcee who can't tell the truth! Don't throw parties if you can't deal with conversation!" She knew that comment was a punch to the gut. She knew it was below the belt. She also knew the party was technically her doing, but he could have cancelled it.
Danny stepped up to Mindy, as close as he could get. So close, Mindy attempted to stumble backwards slightly, but hit the damn wall that had terrible placement.
"I didn't even want you here tonight. I can't stand being in the same room as you. I invited people whose company I actually enjoy, and at least I'm not some slut that pays hourly rates for partners." Danny hissed in her ear, his fist gently hitting the wall behind her head as support as he leant over her while his harsh and out of context words imbedded themselves in her mind.
It didn't take long for them to sink in.
Angry boiled inside her. Tears flooded to her eyes but not out of sadness, but anger.
SLAP.
A dainty hand smacked across Danny's face so quickly he didn't see it coming. His cheek burned as his whole head was forced to the side, where his right arm still supported him.
He turned his head back to face her. She had fire in her eyes, a look he mirrored as his cheek continued to burn, an outline starting to form on the left side of his face.
Throughout their argument he hadn't realised how close they'd actually become. His arm above her head. Her face directly below his own.
His breathing matched hers in heavy pants as if they were animals, and like an animal Danny had a hard time controlling his instincts. He leant down and closed the gao between them. He kissed her, to Mindy's surprise who didn't know what to do.
Once he had moved his mouth away Mindy looked into the eyes of the man who had left her hand with a pins and needles sensation, and her lips in the same way. She had underestimated how sharp it came when you slap someone with full force. She thought about whether the slap was too harsh while trying to avoid think about what had just happened because the shock on both of their faces was ridiculous when his hands wrapped themselves around her wrists and spread them against the wall which now held all her weight.
"AAAH! What-are you-doin. Now?!" She asked through her broken breathing pattern."
"Why on earth did you slap me?" He asked, his body the same distance from hers as before. He didn't know why he was analysing exactly where she was in relation to him, but he just could stop looking at her pinned against the wall.
"You called me a slut! You made it clear you hate me and you're now working through my friend group to get them to cut me out of their lives! why did you kiss me?!-"
"-I don't know!" He shouted, releasing her arms and grabbing the sides of his head. He turned away from her.
"You said you can't even stand being in the same room as me! For God's sake Danny! I'm not a complete idiot!"
Danny didn't respond. He didn't even look.
"Oi!" She continued pulling his shoulder forcefully, causing him to turn back to her. He held his neck with both hands and shrugged in response.
She looked at him with disgust. What a handsome jerk. Uh.
"I'm an intelligent young woman. I'm of equal intelligence to you and we work in the same profession. Don't snort you little pig and look at me when I'm talking to you. I'm smart and I'm attractive, that doesn't make me a slut. Talk to the guys who know exactly what a normal sized American wants to hear because she's deemed fat by people like you and your cheating ex wife. Yeah you're not so perfect Castellano because if you were you wouldn't have to tell people about your divorce. Maybe if you weren't so dull maybe she wouldn't have left you. What did you say to Parker? 'Be a man'? I thought men didn't have to keep secrets from their girlfriends, but then I didn't think they KISSED their girlfriends friends either." Okay, so Mindy expected a slap after that. She turned her head on the side slightly and began to walk down the alley way that lead to the street opposite, nearer to the subway. She hadn't even taken one step before a hand grabbed her hair. It wasn't pulled and it wasn't rough, but if stopped her in her tracks. The hand pulled the head towards its owner, and Danny looked deeply at her. She looked at him scared. She knew he wasn't going to hurt her, but she feared much worse. She feared that her internship crush which she was sure she had killed after countless nights with Jeremy was back.
She looked to his lips...
It was definitely back.
This revelation was figured out in the seconds it took for her to look at his mouth. For Danny, that was his sign to move in. His head dipped and he kissed her. His lips unmoved, as were hers, as he was more focused about pushing her against the wall which had supported them during possibly their worst fight to date. But them again, they usually didn't make up by making out. Danny opened his mouth and pushed Mindy quickly against the wall simultaneously, which was followed by a slight squeal from Mindy.
Her hands wrapped themselves around his neck, while he balanced her on his waist, holding just under her bum on her upper thighs. She crossed her legs around his muscular torso, but then pulled away for a moment.
"OW!" She shouted as her head hit against the wall.
"What are we doing?!" She continued, rubbing her head with one hand.
"It doesn't matter right now. Like I said, there's some things you don't know about me. I'm just being a man, I'm doing as I was told." Danny whispered, before pinning the arm holding her head against the wall, and kissing her again.
She could feel the brick graze her wrist but she didn't care. She did not know why she was kissing this extremely handsome jerk, or why he kissed her first. She didn't even care about the self harm intervention she faced from the confused and concerned Morgan and Betsy tomorrow when they see the cuts the wall will inevitably leave. All she cared about was how good it felt to have Danny in the place that she's secretly longed for him to be since the first time she saw him.
And he was thinking the exact same thing.
