Chapter 3: Bad Way To Handle Things
When Lindsay left the lab, she headed for the precinct. She saw Don at his desk working on some files.
"Hey Don," she placed her hands on his desk.
"Hey Linds, didn't expect to see you here."
"I um... confronted Danny and had to get out of the lab. I'm sorry about this morning and how I left your place. The thing is I wanted to make sure what I saw last night actually happened. I really did enjoy the kiss, but I didn't bother asking you how you felt about the kiss."
"Truth is Linds, I don't want to forget about the kiss. It felt so right, and if it happened again, I wouldn't be nervous about it."
"Truth is Don, I don't wanna forget about it either. I felt comfort in your arms, and the way you kissed me, had me wanting more."
"Maybe more can happen, how about I take you out tonight and then if things are good, you'll get one of my better kisses," Don smiled.
"I like the sound of that," she patted his hand. "Well, when you get off your shift give me a call."
"Will do Linds," he smirked and watched as she walked away.
"So she is the Lindsay you told me about," his work partner Jess Angell placed a hand on his shoulder. "She's cute."
"That she is," Don smirked. "Are you jealous of her Jess?"
"Why should I be, you're a great guy and deserve only the best. I'm happy for you Don, honestly," Jess smiled.
"Mhm," he smiled. "All my ex girlfriend's are jealous of my new girlfriends."
"She's not your girlfriend yet Flack," Jess smirked.
"And your my ex, don't cause any drama between you and Lindsay."
"Don I wasn't lying I really am happy that you found someone, we didn't work out and I'm over it alright."
"Alright sorry for jumping to conclusions."
"You like to jump," Jess smiled and left.
"I still regret breaking up with Jess, but Lindsay is just so amazing. I really hope Jess don't start anything with her," Don thought to himself.

It was about seven thirty when Don's shift was over, he dailed Lindsay's number.
"Hey Lindsay, I'm off of work now."
"Don, we should um... reschedule our date."
"Why?"
"I'm real vulnerable right now, and if you come over I might end up doing something stupid."
"That's not making me want to go out with you less."
"I know, but tonight I think I just want to hang out with Stell. It feels like I haven't talked to her in a while."
"Well, maybe we can go out tomorrow?"
"Alright, bye," Lindsay hung up.
"Something is wrong with her, guess I'll just give her some space."
"Hey Don, you're not going out with Lindsay tonight?" Jess walked up to Don.
"No. She wants to hang out with Stella."
"Well want to go to the bar with me? My female friends cancelled on me."
"I don't know Jess, last time we went to the bar when we broke up I ended up bringing you to my place and we had sex."
"Alright I understand, just could really use a friend right now. You know I just found out my parents are getting a divorce."
"What? I thought they were close."
"Me too, but after we all moved out I guess the tension got too high."
"Okay, I'll go out with you, but only for one drink."
"Don, I promise we aren't going to do anything stupid, so you can have a good future with Lindsay."
"Who said anything about getting her long term, you know like all my relationships lasted less than three months."
"Except us lasting almost a whole year."
"Well you were one I didn't want to lose, but..."
"No need to go back to what happened with us, just friends we will stay. I promise."
They finally left to go to the bar. They both had one drink and Don was fixing to have another, when Jess grabbed his hand.
"Thought you only wanted one drink Flack?"
"I deserve another one, I'm supposed to be on my date with Lindsay right now."
"Don..."
"No, don't talk Jess, just drink," he kissed her cheek.
Don and Jess had a few more drinks, but Jess had to get Don out before he got drunk.
"Jess, are you coming home with me?"
"No Don, as much as I like to, you have Lindsay remember."
"Oh yeah," he leaned against the wall.
"Hey there's Danny," Jess smiled waving him over.
"Hey you two lovebirds, are you guys going out again?"
"Where's your female you were caught kissing last night?" Don grunted.
"Don, how did you know?"
"Lindsay talks to me thank you, and I hate what you did to her Messer, you should be feeling bad. She doesn't deserve to be cheated on."
"And you out of all people should tell me how to treat a woman."
Don got mad and pushed Danny against the wall. Don punched Danny in the face.
"Don!" Jess shouted pulling him off of Danny. "Danny you should leave."
"Yeah, go to hell man," Don spat. Once he went inside, Jess frowned at Don.
"And that's why you were only supposed to have one drink Don."
"Take me home please," Don frowned.
Jess nodded and took him home, where they talked a little longer and Don was more relaxed.
She was fixing to leave when Don spoke up after he passed out.
"Please don't leave me babe."
uh oh were you not expecting this to happen and to be honest me either, there will be a lot of explaining in the next chapter so you know what to do if you want more :)
