Part 2: Mistletoe Mayhem

It was that time of the year again; the annual Christmas party. Since the crime lab was cutting back this year, they decided to have the party at the lab. Stella and Peyton had been charge of all the decorations and they tried to wrangle the men to help them out but it was useless.

The party began at 8:00 and guests were mingling in. Mac arrived with Stella and it was apparent that nobody knew that these two were together. It was discovered later on that night that they had been secretly dating for 7 months.

Lindsay had arrived before Stella and Mac. She watched them arrive, a small smile crept up on her face. in her own apparent woman's intuition, she knew that they were an item. Mac was such a private person so it was proper that they come out this way.

She was still thinking about Stella when a pair of warm hands came up and covered her eyes.

"Guess who?"

"Hmmm, let me think,"Lindsay said, in a joking tone. "Danny?"

"You got it! How's Montana doing tonight?"

"I'm great."

Danny reached out and took her hand. "Linds, let's go and take a walk."

They snuck out of the side entrance and walked the back hallways of the crime lab. The clicks of their heels were the only sounds heard.

"I just wanted to be alone with you for awhile, Lindsay." Danny said, smiling at her.

"Danny..." Lindsay said and started to protest but was stopped when he put his finger on her lips.

"Shh," Danny said "Just let me show you how I feel about you please?"

He led to the broom closet at the end of the hallway. He backed up against the door and while still holding her hand, told her to close her eyes.

"Don't peek okay?"

"I won't, I won't"

He pulled back the door and told her to look up.

"Oh that's cute Messer, how did you pull that off. Won't people be looking for that."?

"They'll get over it."

It was mistletoe and it was hanging from the broom closet door frame.

"You're amazing, Danny, just amazing."

He walked over to her and grabbed her into an embrace. They both looked up the mistletoe, moved closer together and kissed for the first time.

"I think another one of those, Danny."

"You wish is my command." Danny said, but reached for her again but not before he shut the door, leaving them to their moment of perfect bliss and contentment.

Sheldon was looking at one of the doorways when Stella walked up to him.

"Hawkes, what are you doing?"

"Where's the mistletoe?"
