Chapter 4
Lindsay walked off the plane with Lucy and into the airport to find Flack waiting for them.
"Flackey!" Lucy giggled pointing at Flack
"So you got stuck on Lindsay and Lucy duty?" Lindsay questioned and Flack responded with taking Lucy from Lindsay
"You call this stuck? I call this getting out of work for an hour to spend sometime with my little niece" Flack smirked "How was the trip?"
"Eh it was ok" Lindsay shrugged still bothered by Billy's actions a few hours earlier
"Something happen?" Flack asked being able to read Lindsay like a book.
"No" Lindsay said grabbing her bag from the baggage claim avoiding eye contact with Flack
"Linds" Flack warned as Lucy pulled on his tie
"It was just a misunderstanding with an old friend" Lindsay shrugged as they walked out of the airport
"What kind of misunderstanding?" Flack questioned
"What is this twenty questions?" Lindsay asked with a laugh and Flack just looked at her
"Can you not tell Danny?"
"Oh don't do that to me" Flack sighed. The last thing he wanted was to keep a secret from Danny
"Ok" Lindsay shrugged casually as Flack put Lucy in the car seat and Lindsay placed her luggage in the trunk and then got into the car
"Is it anything life threatening?" Flack asked her and she shook her head no "It involves no danger at all?" he clarified
"No" Lindsay said to him "Or I'd tell Danny"
"Fine then you can tell me and I wont tell him" Flack said starting the car
"You promise?" Lindsay questioned him
"Yes I promise" Flack said giving her a smirk "Tell me"
"Well this old friend of mine took Lucy and I to the airport" Lindsay started "Then when we got out of the car he kind of made a pass at me"
"Excuse me?" Flack asked taken back "What kind of pass?"
"What does that mean? A pass- you know hit on I guess" Lindsay shrugged
"Did he touch you?" Flack asked
"He kissed me" Lindsay told him and Flack sighed
'I knew I shouldn't have promised to keep this to myself' Flack thought to himself
"But I pulled away instantly and he apologized" Lindsay told him
"Well he apologized to you and it's not like you're going to see him often" Flack shrugged and Lindsay sighed "What?" he asked glancing over to Lindsay
"He's moving to New York" Lindsay told him
"That guy that's friends with your brother kissed you?" Flack asked surprised. Danny had mentioned seeing Lindsay's brother and a friend who was going to be moving out to New York. But Danny didn't pick up on any bad vibes from Billy or he would have surely mentioned it to Flack, he even seemed happy Lindsay was going to have a friend out here to spend time with
"Yea" Lindsay said sadly "It's going to make things awkward"
"I'd say" Flack said with a frown
"You're supposed to be making me feel better about the entire thing not worse" Lindsay shot at Flack who offered her an apologetic smile
"I'm sorry Linds" he said to her "But that's just wrong what he did and I think you should tell Danny"
"Why? So he could get angry and be rude to him every time he stops by, he's going to be living in the City soon" Lindsay reminded him
"I don't think Danny being rude to him would be the issue" Flack smirked he could only imagine what Danny would do to this guy if he saw him
"You don't think Danny would hit him?" Lindsay asked and Flack just smirked
"I'm only your friend and I want to hit him" Flack said to her "Don't ever underestimate Danny's love for you" he said looking over to her "You and Lucy are his life now"
"So that settles it I'm just going to keep it to myself" Lindsay said
"You're going to lie?" Flack questioned "You wouldn't want Danny to do that to you, would ya?" he asked. He really wanted Lindsay to tell Danny because he was surely going to have a hard time not telling his friend.
"You're right" Lindsay said to him "We're supposed to be honest with each other"
"Where was Lucy when this guy was groping ya?" Flack asked keeping his attention on the road
"In my arms" Lindsay told him and Flack laughed
"Class act" Flack said as his laugh turned into a frustrated one
"She was sleeping and he didn't grope me he peeked me on the lips" Lindsay said to him "The more I think about it the less of a big deal I think it is"
"Whatever you say Linds" Flack said to her
Danny and Lindsay's apartment
Lindsay and Lucy had been home for over an hour when Danny walked in
"Dad-ee!" Lucy smiled and Danny quickly picked her up and gave her a kiss hello
"Lucy" Danny smiled "I've missed you very much"
"Hey" Lindsay smiled as well walking over to Danny giving him a slow but deep kiss hello then pulled away
"I'm going to put her to bed" Danny said "Then I want to hear about your trip alright"
As Danny walked away guilt started eating at Lindsay, she felt as though she cheated on Danny when Billy kissed her and it made her feel terrible. She can't even believe that she considered not telling Danny the truth. After a few minutes Lucy was in bed and Danny walked over to his wife who was leaning against the kitchen counter sipping a glass of wine.
"Tough flight?" Danny teased nodding towards her wine and she smiled
"Something like that" she mumbled
"What happened?" Danny asked her
"So you remember Billy right?" Lindsay asked and Danny smirked, how could she ask that he had just seen him earlier in the week
"Yea I remember him" Danny said to her "What about him, you two have a fight or something?"
"Not really" Lindsay said to him "The other night when you called my mother was telling me this crazy story I don't even believe by the way- that Billy used to have this crush on me and wanted to take me to prom but Ryan wouldn't let him"
"I can imagine, if I had a sister in high school I wouldn't want my college friend dating her either" Danny stated with a shrug "So what it bugged you or something?"
"Well it stuck in my head and I'm probably making more of this then it really is" Lindsay said to him
"Let me be the judge of that" Danny said to her starting to becoming slightly worried "What happened?" he asked her again
"Billy took us to the airport and he touched my cheek and leaned and kissed me" Lindsay told him and Danny's response was not what Lindsay was expecting
"He kissed you?" he asked her with a laugh "Where?" he asked completely naïve to the fact that Billy would kiss a married women
"My lips Danny" she told him then his smile turned into a frown "I pulled away- right away" she added quickly "And then he apologized and I left"
"He kissed you on the lips?" Danny asked hoping he heard it wrong
"It was a peek on the lips really and I pulled away so fast" Lindsay told him "It was really nothing"
"If it was nothing then why is it bothering you so much?" Danny asked her seriously
"You don't think I wanted that kiss do you?" Lindsay asked a little hurt and smirked at her and walked over to her
"Of course not" Danny said lifting her chin and capturing her into a kiss then pulled away "I just don't like the idea of some guy who is your friend coming onto you and clearly it bothered you a lot more then you're saying"
"If my mother hadn't told me that story it wouldn't have bothered me that much" Lindsay defended "He started talking about how I'm the only person who understands him because we both lost Jill. I don't know- I felt bad. And he is going to be moving out here so I think the best thing would be is to move on and forget it" she finished then took a sip of her wine but Danny didn't respond "What?" She asked hoping the conversation would be over with and he laughed
"Nothing" Danny smirked "If you want to forget it happened then forget it happened"
"Danny" Lindsay sighed "Please don't be mean or obnoxious to him when he comes out here"
"Do you expect me to roll out the red carpet it for him, invite him into my home when I know he tried to get into my wife pants?" Danny questioned her
"He didn't try to do that Danny" Lindsay reminded him "He made a mistake we all do. He's one of my oldest friends from Montana and I would like for you to get along with him"
"So now not only do you want me to forget it happened but you want me to be nice to him as well?" Danny asked her stunned "How would you feel if it was reversed? If it was an old girlfriend of mine?"
"That's just the thing he's not an old boyfriend and it's different. He's never been the same since Jill" Lindsay told him "And I told you about this because I love you and I trust you and I know you'll want to make me happy and not make this situation any worse then it already is"
"All right" Danny agreed after watching his wife for a moment "I wont smack him around" he teased with a smirk causing Lindsay to laugh "But I want you to tell me if he tries anything with you again or makes you uncomfortable" he said stepping closer to Lindsay and pulling her closer to him
"It wont happen but if it does-" Lindsay started then leaned in to kiss Danny then pulled away slowly and gave him a smile "You'll be the first to know"
"I better be" Danny smirked down pulling Lindsay into a rougher kiss
"Lucy sleeping?" Lindsay questioned as Danny started to kiss her neck
"Uh-huh" he mumbled as he continued kissing her then pulled her into his arms and carried them into their bedroom
