Clouds had started to gather in the sky above; big, thick, fluffy clouds. Danny and Lindsay had been sat in silence for a few minutes after the waiter had made his way back to the kitchen with their order. Neither of them had the courage to start talking, just incase the words came out wrong.
"Danny, - "
"Lindsay, -"
They both started to say something, interrupting each other before both of them started to giggle.
"You first, " Danny said, looking at her with smiling eyes.
"I was just going to say thank you, for this." Lindsay replied. She looked nervous as she fingered the fine crystal stem of her champagne glass that sat in front of her.
"You don't have to say thank you,Lindsay." Danny insisted. He leaned forward on the table, crossing his arms half way. "I should be the one to say thank you to you for coming here tonight." Lindsay looked up at him from her glass and smiled at him as her cheeks began to burn. "Oh, did I make you blush?" He teased, with a grin.
"You called me Lindsay, that's all... It's not often I hear you say that." She made complete eye contact with Danny, and held his gaze with hers. She looked deep into his sky blue eyes with her dark, velvety chocolate eyes and it felt as if hours had passed by with the blink of an eye.
Lindsay was the first to look away. She cleared her throat and sat forward a fraction. "So where did you find out about this place?"
"I know a few people who know other people, " He replied, still not taking his eyes away from hers.

"I'm guessing that person would be Stella?" Lindsay smiled as she raised an eyebrow at him, and took a small sip of her champagne.
"What? You think that I couldn't come up with some kinda date like this?" Danny replied, defending himself. He sat back in his chair and licked his lips.
"Messer, we all know what your idea of a date is, you've bragged about it too many times!" She exclaimed.
"Oh yeah? Enlighten me, Miss Monroe." He licked his lips once more and pushed his glasses back up his nose and rested his chin on his hand.
Lindsay nodded her head as she put her glass back down on the table."Ok, So when I first started here I over heard you talking to Flack about some girl you had taken out on a date. And you even admitted to Flack that it was your idea of a perfect date!" She took a small mouthful of the gold bubbly liquid that sat infront of her, and sat forward.
"Then, You proceeded to tell him what you did on that date. As I can recall... You told him it was a combination of going to a bar for the whole night, and then picking up a pizza on the way home!" She looked at him with a grin, satisfied that she had made her point.

Danny sighed, and smiled at her. "I hold my hands up to you Montana. I'll admit that back then, that was all I was about. Now, It's just not me anymore." His face fell into a more serious expression as he once again licked his lips, more slowly this time, and connected his eyes with hers.
"Why not?" She asked, still holding his gaze. The Glow that eminated from the candles gave Lindsay's eyes a bright sparkle as they flickered from the breeze that had started to get chillier. The Corner of the roof that they were sat in, was once an intimate spot, but now it was beginning to lose that intimacy as the sky began to get darker.
Danny shrugged his shoulders a little. " Maybe its because - "
"Here we go!" Exclaimed the waiter, " One Lamb and Mushroom Risotto for the lovely lady, and a Chicken and Pomodorino tomatoe lasagne for the Gentleman. Enjoy your meal." The waiter placed the relevant meals down on the table in front of Danny and Lindsay, and topped up each of their glasses before leaving.

"This is really good," Lindsay said, breaking the silence that once again had surrounded them. At least 10 minutes had passed since the waiter had interrupted Danny mid sentence. In a way, Danny was glad - he didn't want to open up his heart and tell her that she was the reason he had changed, only for her to throw it back in his face. But then, he wanted to tell her straight, where no one else could interfere in their conversation and hope that she felt the same.
"Yeah, This is really good too." Danny replied, picking up his glass. "You wanna try some?"
Lindsay looked at him with her toothy smile that made her look like she was a child in a candy store. "Sure, Wanna taste me?" Danny almost choked on his champagne as soon as the last word left her lips.
"Oh my god! I meant... I didn't mean that I meant... Danny are you ok?" Lindsay felt embarrassed as Danny coughed and spluttered everywhere.
"Yeah.. Woah.. Montana, You almost made my dream come true then!" Danny exclaimed after he caught his breath.
Lindsay stopped and looked up at him from the table. "What?"
It was if those words that Danny had spoken were the most romantic words he had ever spoken. Danny put down his knife and fork, and took another sip of his champagne.
"Ok, Montana, I'm gonna be straight with you. This whole idea was Stella's."
"I knew it!" Lindsay replied calmly as she sipped her champagne, her eyes connecting with Danny's. This time, she didn't want to look away from them.
"Yeah, Ok I'll give you that one!" He chuckled. "Now Montana, the only reason that she got this whole thing organised for us tonight is because she says that everyone at the lab is getting sick of us avoiding our feelings for one another."
Lindsay went quiet.
"So... you not gonna say anything?" Danny asked.

The background music that had been virtually non-existent during the evening, had suddenly been upped a few notches and it was now noticable.
Lindsays ears pricked up as soon as she heard the first few notes the guitar was playing through the speakers. 'You and Me' by Life house had always been Lindsay favorite song from the moment she had heard it, and she couldn't believe it was playing now, of all moments.
"I love this song..." She whispered, just loud enough for Danny to hear.
"You wanna Dance?" Danny stood up and walked around the table, holding his hands out to her.
"Yes," Lindsay stood up and placed her small hands into Danny's manly hands. They moved away from the table to a more central part of the roof. He stopped and placed one arm around her waist, keeping his other hand securely around hers. Slowly, they began to move to the music, swaying against each other gently.
"This is great, Danny." Lindsay whispered. She removed her hand from his and placed both her arms around his neck.
"I'm glad you think so, Montana," He replied, placing his now free hand on her back. "Ya know, this is all I ever wanted."
"To Dance on a rooftop,Messer?" She giggled.
"No, Just to spend time alone with you," Danny's voice had now become more huskier, and Lindsay found herself liking it even more. He moved his hand from her back and brought it up to her face, gently pushing the hair out of her face.
"After last night Danny, I realised that everything I have been feeling towards you - It just not what I thought." Lindsay said, her face softening.
"What do you mean?" Danny asked, looking puzzled.
"I mean, Danny, that all this time I have had feelings for you that I wanted to act upon, but I guess deep down I..." She stopped and looked down at the floor, both of them coming to a complete stop.
"What is it?"
"I just didn't want to tell you how I really felt because I didn't want to make a fool of myself incase you just laughed me off and -"
Danny could see she rambling on, and ran his hand through her soft curls to calm her.
"Lindsay," he interrupted. " I have wanted you to tell me how you felt for aslong as I can remember. I have been scared to tell you how I felt because I didn't want you to throw it back in my face. I just want to be with you, no matter what." Danny brought his other hand up and gently cupped her face. "I guess what I'm trying to say is I-"
Without letting Danny finish his sentence, Lindsay moved forward and brushed her lips against Danny's.
"-Love you," She whispered. She closed her eyes as Danny rested his forehead against hers.
"You took the words right out'ta my mouth, Montana!" Danny exclaimed, in a soft whisper. He grinned as she opened her eyes and looked up at him, tightening her grip around his neck.

As the song came to an end, Danny and Lindsay looked up to the now pure white sky above them, just in time to see the light flurry of snow flakes descend once again across the bright New York Skyline.

FIN.
