Pnkrckprncss- Time will tell, I don't want to ruin any surprises. Just be patient, LOL.
BongoBaby- If they'd get rid of the McMahon's it'd all be better! Hope you enjoy this chappie.
Meadow567- Well when you wake up, you can read this chappie! LOL
XX- Not to be a party pooper, but I hate this Danny?Lindsay stuff on the show. Its so cliché. Just once I want to see a show where they don't hook up the obvious couple. I'd actually rather see Flack and Lindsay hook up. Or Lindsay and Mac. Maybe Lindsay dies and Mac forgives Aiden! And just relax, it'll all come out in time who gets who. And don't flunk school. And I love your reviewing record. Keep it up!
BridgetLynn- Siblings? Hmmm, not what I was going for. But glad you are reading the story. Hope you enjoy future chapters.
Emador- You love anything Flack does. He could stand cross-eyed singing 'I'm a Little Teapot' and you'd faint! LOL
"Aurora, what's up?" Aiden asked. I was walking through the lab on my way out for the night.
"Not much just headed out." I said.
"How's Flack doing?" Danny asked.
"Better. He's talked to Gavin over the past week and seems to be doing better." I said.
It had been a week since Flack's mentor had been in trouble for tampering with evidence. Don and I had hung out a lot the previous weekend. Now Flack seemed to be falling back into routine.
"I was gonna head over to his place later and watch a few movies. You ladies want to join us?" Danny asked.
"Yeah, I think Don would like that." I said.
"How about comedies? I could use a good laugh and I'm sure Don could too." Aiden said.
"Sounds great." I said.
"Well go ahead and say it." Danny said.
"Say what?" I asked.
"That I am Aiden's 'date' and Don is yours." Danny smirked.
"Fine, you're my date." Aiden said and rolled her eyes.
"Don might be getting tired of being my date." I said.
"Trust me, he's not. I see the girls he has real dates with." Danny said.
"You're one to talk Messer. I remember that Lisa from last year." Aiden said.
"Don't bring her up." Danny said.
"Why? What was the story on this girl?" I asked Aiden.
"First of all she was the most arrogant, full of herself, and rude person. She really thought she was better than everyone. And she also thought she could sing like Celine Dion…problem is Lisa's singing sounded like a bull being castrated with rusty gardening tools. She taught music in junior high…I don't know how the students stand it." Aiden said.
I started laughing. "Danny, what did you see in her?"
"I was bored." He shrugged.
"Try getting a hobby. Try knitting." I winked and he scowled. "Was she pretty at least?"
"Hardly…she had this nasty short red hair and wide hips." Aiden said.
"Enough, I didn't date her long. I never even screwed her." Danny sighed.
"You know she's bad when she's so ugly Danny won't screw her." Aiden laughed.
"Hey I am very picky about the women I choose to leave so satisfied that another man will never be able to compete." Danny said.
"Are you two done? I'd like to call Flack and see if he's home yet." I said.
"Go ahead and call him." Aiden laughed.
(Flack's Apartment)
Flack opened the door to his apartment and let us in. Aiden, Danny and I had met him at his apartment since he's left an hour ahead of us.
"Hey we brought the snacks." I said.
"And I brought the girls." Danny joked.
"Come on in. Rora said comedy so I grabbed a few from my DVD collection." Don said.
"What do you got?" I asked sitting on the couch next to Don and sifting through his pile of DVD's.
"I'm gonna make popcorn." Aiden said.
'The Wedding Singer', "A Night at the Roxbury', 'Shallow Hal', 'Be Cool'…..Don had some funny movies there.
"I vote for 'Shallow Hal'." I said.
"That's a good one. I haven't seen it in a while." Aiden said.
"Then pop it in." Danny said and squeezed in beside me.
"Where is Aiden supposed to sit?" I asked.
Danny patted his lap and smiled. I rolled my eyes.
"I like the floor so I can stretch out." Aiden said and brought in a big bowl of popcorn.
Don put in the movie. It was one of my favorite comedies. I ended up holding the popcorn, while Danny and Don picked at it.
"Wow that is one big girl." Danny said.
"Would you ever date someone that size?' I asked Danny.
"Naw, I am sure she has a great personality and all….but I just love nice body I can wrap my arms around." He answered.
"I went to college with a guy who preferred big girls." I said.
"Really? Why?" Danny looked confused.
"He said fat girls gave the best blowjobs." I said.
"What does a woman's size have to do with how well they do that?" Aiden asked.
"His theory was, fat girls work hard, practice and get very good at giving head because they know they have to keep a man happy to keep him. He also said fat girls were so happy to get attention they gladly give blowjobs. He was quite a pig." I said.
"Still I wonder if there is any truth to that line of thinking." Flack smiled.
"DONALD!" I pretended to be indignant.
"Hey…I didn't say I was going to try it." He laughed.
"And you didn't say you weren't." I giggled.
"I went to college with a guy who preferred pregnant girls." Aiden said.
"Why pregnant?" I asked.
"He said that if she was already pregnant, he couldn't get her pregnant…perfect birth control. And if she's pregnant, she's got experience." She explained.
I turned to Don. "No cruising the La Maz classes."
He laughed at me and kissed my forehead.
We turned back to the movie and watched a bit more. I loved the movie and thought it was so sweet that Hal joined the Peace Corps to be with Rosemary.
"That is nice that he proposes to her in the end." Aiden said.
"What kind of proposal do you want Aiden?" I asked.
"I don't care how the guy proposes, I just want a diamond the size of a doorknob." She joked. "You?"
"I want proposed to in Victory Lane of the Coca-Cola 600 at Lowes Motor Speedway." I said.
"No more NASCAR." Flack said. "I let her listen to a race the other day and she nearly beat me to death she was so excited because some Saddle guy won."
"That is Elliott Sadler." I said and rolled my eyes.
"What's you're dream man?" Aiden asked.
"Me." Danny smirked.
"Yeah right Messer, I know your type of man. You tongue kiss on the first kiss and then your hands go straight up a girl's shirt." Aiden rolled her eyes.
"Hey, never know when I'll get a call into the field, I gotta work fast." Danny winked.
"Don't you hate it when a guy French kisses you for the first kiss?" I said to Aiden. "First kisses are supposed to be soft and sweet and gentle."
"Oh I know." Aiden said.
"I dunno, I guess after the last few disastrous relationships I've had….my dream guy is just someone that will love me the way I am." I said.
"Danny and I didn't sign up for girl talk." Flack said.
"We're sorry." I said and laid my head on his shoulder. "Put in another movie."
Don got up and put in 'Be Cool'.
"Wait a minute….all the hassle you gave me about going to see wrestling and you have a movie with The Rock in it?" I put my hands on my hips.
"I like Uma Thurman." Flack shrugged.
"I hated that Aerosmith was in this movie. I hate them." I said.
"Why?" Don asked.
"Long story. The only song of theirs that is half-descent is 'Dream On' and that's only because it's at the end of 'Miracle'." I told him.
"I'm gonna have to see this movie and see what is so damn exciting." Don said.
I leaned back to watch the movie. It was rather funny seeing The Rock play a gay character. I wasn't much of an Uma Thurman fan, but she did okay in this role. Although for a new widow she jumped into bed with John Travolta awfully fast.
Danny yawned and stretched and put his arm around me. I looked up at him and he gave me that smirk of his.
"Don, I'm your 'date' and Danny has his arm around me." I said with a wink.
Don looked at Danny. "You wanna take this outside?" he joked.
Aiden popped up and smacked Danny's knee. "You're my date and you do this right in front of me?" she pretended to pout.
We all started laughing and got back to the movie. I think Andre 3000 is the worst gangster ever in this movie. I wondered if the gangs in the movie would bother Flack after recent events, but he seemed unaffected. He laughed along with the rest of us when Andre mistakenly shot his gun. And when The Rock was dancing at the MTV awards.
"Wow, its getting late. I should get going. Mac and I are meeting for breakfast in the morning." I said.
"Yeah me too. My brother is supposed to visit tomorrow." Aiden said.
"And I should head home. I have laundry to do." Danny said.
"You always have laundry to do." Flack laughed.
"Yeah, I know. It's not my thing so I let it pile up." Danny shrugged.
"You make sure both girls get home safe?" Don asked.
"Yeah, I'll put Aiden in a cab and then me and Rora can ride the subway home." Danny said.
"Alright, I'll see you guys later then." Don said as we all stood up.
I grabbed my jacket. Danny put an arm around me and Aiden.
"The threesome back together again." Danny smiled.
"Danny that case was a month ago." I rolled my eyes.
"Doesn't mean it's too late to take their suggestion." He smirked.
I laughed. "Don, call me if you need anything."
"I will. Goodnight." He said.
"Night, Don." Aiden and Danny called out and we walked out.
We walked down to the street where Danny hailed a cab for Aiden. We waved goodbye to her and then started for the subway.
"It's late, subway should be empty." Danny said.
"That's good. Sometimes these trains get so crowded…I think I've been felt up a few times." I said.
"Trick is get somewhere with your back to the wall if you can." Danny said.
As we predicted, the subway was empty. Danny and I were the only two people in the car we were in.
"How is Flack really?" Danny asked.
"Good. I think Gavin getting that deal made it a lot easier on Don. But part of him still feels like he betrayed Gavin. And he's so hurt that one of his heroes let him down." I said. "I know how he feels, I've been there."
"Is that part of your family problems?" Danny asked. "I'm sorry. I don't mean to pry."
"It's fine. I am so numbed to it anymore. Yeah……it hurts a lot when you're the unwanted child." I said.
"I am sure your mother wanted you." Danny said.
"No, she didn't. Dad was another story. That man loved me more than anything. But mom…she already had her special child. My sister Angie……she walks on water in my mother's eyes. She can do no wrong and is perfect. I realized at three years old that mom loved her more than me. That hurts a little child." I said.
"I don't understand……your dad loved you but your mom didn't?" Danny said.
"I am not saying she didn't love me….she just made it very obvious who the favorite was. See when mom was married the first time she adopted two children. My sister Angie and brother Chuck. But Angie was her favorite child even then. Then mom was widowed and started dating my dad who was newly divorced…..then they got married very fast because mom was pregnant." I said. "And all my life I've been compared to Angie, and no matter what I did it was never as good as her. Daddy was the only person who really loved me and was proud of me. Do you know what it feels like when you make the Dean's List at college but all your mom can talk about it your sister's sonogram showed a baby girl?"
"No…..that must've been rough." Danny said.
"And mom always told me I was crazy, this was all in my head. But I knew better. The differences are obvious when it's MY graduation party but mom is just worried about my sister making it in for it. Or when mom takes back Christmas gifts for me and dad so she can buy more for Angie's kids. That's another thing…when Angie had kids, I ceased to exist……Oh Danny I am so sorry. I didn't mean to start telling my life story to you." I said.
"It's okay. I did ask." Danny said.
"Yeah….well that was just part of it all, but the point is, I know what it's like to be let down by someone you love. That's why I've tried so hard to be there for Don the past week. No one was there for me; I went through it all alone." I said.
"Sounds like you had a great dad though." Danny said.
I smiled but choked up. "That man was the best. I know he loved me. To this day at home, I'll be out shopping and men will come up to me. They recognize me from pictures dad carried in the mill with him."
"Hey don't cry. Tonight was a fun night. No more sad talk. We'll talk baseball." Danny said and put an arm around me.
I laughed and sniffed. "Why baseball?"
"It'll calm you down from being upset." Danny said.
"I thought you were supposed to think of baseball to distract you from being turned on?" I asked.
"That never works. I don't how thinking of baseball is supposed to get rid of a hard-on when baseball involves balls, scoring and homeruns." Danny winked.
I laughed. "Messer, you're so cute sometimes."
"There is that smile. And I am cute all the time." He smirked.
"So baseball…..Sox kicking ass in spring training." I said.
"Shhh, you want to get shot bragging like that." Danny laughed.
"Oh fine, but they are still doing great. Of course Johnny Damon the little turncoat….."
Danny laughed. "See baseball cheered you right up. And the BoSox might be doing good, but your Braves suck." Danny said.
"They always suck in spring training. Then they always win their division and get knocked out of the playoffs. Its tradition, like Thanksgiving." I giggled.
The train stopped at out stop and we got off. We walked up the stairs and out of the subway station towards my building.
"You know tonight was fun. It was just like being at the movies…we had popcorn, soda…everything but the making out in the back row." I laughed.
"Next time we can kick Aiden and Don out and go for it. Or my apartment is just across the bridge from yours. We could be there pretty quick and I have a DVD player and large couch. We could make the whole movie theater experience complete." Danny winked.
"How about next time, I just drag you behind the couch and we can make out." I laughed.
"I like a woman who takes control." Danny smirked.
"I told you before. You're not man enough to handle me." I winked.
"I think I can….wanna prove me wrong?" he smirked.
"Not enough of a challenge." I laughed. "You're really sweet Danny. I appreciate you volunteering to bring me home. And being so understanding about…what we talked about on the train."
"You're welcome. But don't let that get around, it'll ruin my reputation." Danny said like it was a big secret.
"I won't tell. But thanks for everything. I think you and Don are spoiling me too much. When you guys get real girlfriends, I won't know what to do with myself." I said.
We stopped in front of my building.
"You're welcome to come up for awhile." I said as we walked me to the building door.
"I'll take a rain check. I seriously have to do laundry. I am running out of clean underwear." Danny said.
I laughed. "Go commando."
Danny raised an eyebrow. "You ever do that?"
I shook my head. "Can't tell you." I giggled.
Danny raised an eyebrow. "I'll see you at work."
I nodded. "Buona notte."
Danny smiled. "You remembered."
"I told you, it's beautiful." I smiled.
Danny took my hand and kissed it. "Buona notte su stanotte stregata."
Danny turned and walked back down the sidewalk. I smiled and walked inside my building.
