TongueTwister- Here is the next chapter. I hope you like it. Just a light one after all the recent drama.
Meadow567- Actually him looking at that book had nothing to do with that episode. All the Italian from the whole story or just last chappie? I thought last chappie what they were saying was obvious.
LizFromItaly- So glad you liked it. I love that you know everything that happens, even when Danny is trying to say something in Italian he doesn't want Aurora to know.
BridgetLynn- What is the snoopy dance? I have a happy dance. Hope you keep reading. I have so much planned for this series it's scary.
Jordayna- I am so glad you enjoy this story. I have lots planned so I hope you keep reading. This is kinda a light chapter after all the recent drama.
Emador- You have to hurry home, LOL. Hope you're having fun.
"What time is Aurora getting here?" Don asked Danny. They were in the locker room getting ready to go out for the evening.
"Soon, she called me when she was leaving her apartment." Danny said.
"And you let her out alone?" Flack laughed.
"Yeah, she is doing great. She went for her mandatory psych evaluation yesterday. No one would think that a week ago she was kidnapped." Danny said. "And she can't wait to get back to work Monday."
"I'll be glad to have her back." Flack said. "You've certainly been in a good mood since falling on your knees and confessing your undying love to her."
Danny rolled his eyes. "I didn't fall on my knees."
"Has she yet?" Flack raised an eyebrow.
"Don, you asshole." Danny shook his head. "And not that it's your business but no."
"Well aren't you happy that you told her?" Don asked.
Danny smiled. "Yeah…it's great."
"You're turning sappy on me Messer." Flack laughed.
"Am I? I don't care." Danny said.
"So how are things with you and Aurora?" Flack asked.
"Great…couldn't be better." Danny said. "I still can't believe how lucky I am."
"Well it's about time you two got together. Stevie Wonder could see how infatuated with each other you both were." Flack laughed.
Danny rolled his eyes. "She should be getting here soon. I am going to wait for her."
"I'm right behind you. Where is Aiden?" Don asked.
"Probably in the locker room. Aurora and her are so excited to hang out together. Aiden has been so busy all week she hasn't been able to see her." Danny said.
"So now that Aurora is officially your girlfriend, I supposed Aiden is my 'date' from now on." Flack said.
"Until Aiden finds another loser to date. For her to be such a great girl, she finds NYC's biggest assholes." Danny said.
Danny and Don were almost to the entrance to the women's locker room when Aiden ran past them and they heard squealing. They looked up to see Aurora coming down the hall too.
Aiden and Aurora ran and hugged each other. Both talking fast and laughing obviously excited to hang out and they had missed each other. The guys stood watching as the girls giggled and practically jumped up and down.
"Stand back, we're gonna get something on us." Danny smirked.
"If I didn't see you for a week, when I did again I'd say 'hey' and keep going. What is it with women?" Flack asked.
"Have we ever understood women in our lives?" Danny smiled.
Danny and Don walked up to the girls.
"Ciao bella." Danny said and kissed Aurora.
"About damn time Messer." Aiden said. "I was about ready to kick you in the ass."
"How was your day?" Aurora asked.
"Busy, but I couldn't wait for tonight." Danny smiled.
"Danny's been lost to the dark side." Flack said.
"Who are you Darth Vader? You were rooting for them to hook up as much as me." Aiden punched his arm.
"Luke, Luke I am your father." Flack imitated.
"I've been so excited to go out tonight." Aurora said. "All night in the 80's. I can't wait."
"Aurora, your bruises have healed pretty well." Aiden said.
"They're lighter, but I still got on enough make-up for a clown." She said. "And I had to wear long sleeves."
"You still look great." Danny said.
"Yeah, if you and Danny disappear tonight, we'll avoid the bathrooms." Flack winked.
"Somewhere in that is a compliment." Aurora laughed.
"Let's go. I promised Aurora we could dance to Warrant." Aiden said.
(80's Night)
When they arrived at the club it was full of people. 'The Breakfast Club' was playing on the TV's around the club and Duran Duran was playing.
"It's really crowded tonight." Aurora said.
"Look around and find an open table." Aiden said.
"There is one next to the wall." Flack said.
The four of them made their way through the crowd to the table. They sat down. Danny pulled Aurora's chair close to his.
"You two actually make a cute couple." Aiden smiled. "But of all the men in NYC did you have to fall for Danny?"
Aurora laughed at the joke. "Well it was either him or Vicaro."
"Sheldon and Flack are single." Aiden joked.
"They're all yours….Mac is single too." Aurora said.
"Yeah, but it's been so long for Mac…I don't think he'd know what to do with a woman anymore." Flack said.
"Don't pick on Mac. Devotion like his is rare these days." Aurora said.
"You girls want drinks?" Danny asked.
"I'll take a beer." Aurora said.
"Me too." Aiden said.
The guys walked up to the bar.
"So how are things with Danny?" Aiden asked Aurora.
"Oh my God…Aiden it's wonderful. He's spent every evening this week with me. We've watched ballgames and movies. One evening we just sat and talked for hours. I feel like I'm dreaming, I still can't believe it." Aurora said.
"You look so happy. I am so glad everything worked out." Aiden said.
"Me too, but I'm scared." Aurora said.
"Of what?"
"Well, what if this is all just Danny's reaction to my kidnapping and it wears off? I am in so deep with him already." Aurora said.
Aiden took her hand. "You've got nothing to worry about. Danny was so infatuated with you before the kidnapping that Don and I were ready to place bets on when you two would hook up."
"I really love him." Aurora said.
Aiden squeezed her hand. "And Danny loves you. I am just so glad you two finally got together."
"Seriously you two girls should make out. You're so affectionate with each other anyways." Flack said.
"Women are just that way." Aiden rolled her eyes.
"Yeah, but you two making out would be hot." Danny said and sat down next to Aurora.
"You two are never gonna let go of that one are you?" Aurora asked.
"You girls could just make out and shut us up." Flack smirked.
Aurora laughed and leaned against Danny as she sipped her beer.
"Gotta hand it to ya Messer, you finally got a girlfriend that isn't psycho or a dog." Flack said.
"Not all my past girlfriends were psychos or dogs." Danny said.
"Yes they were." Aiden said. "Do I have to bring up Ashley?"
"Oh yeah, she was the one that thought she was Paris Hilton and has a thing for anything in a uniform." Flack said. "You dodged a bullet with that one."
"How about Heather? She had the brain capacity of a slug." Aiden laughed.
"Okay, okay. Enough….I haven't even dated much in the past year. And none of that matters because I've got Aurora now." Danny said.
"Aurora, what kind of guys have you dated before? You always hear us rag on Danny." Flack asked.
"Trust me; I've kissed my share of frogs. Let's see, there was Jason who tried to change me, didn't respect me much and his friends hated me. Then there was Chris who had no time for me and was using me I found out later. And Rick was a nice enough guy but we just didn't work out. I think he felt I wasn't good enough for him." Aurora said.
"I think everyone has to date their share of wrong people before finding the right one." Aiden said.
"Aurora, would you like to dance?" Danny asked her.
"Yeah, that'd be great. We're gonna be here all night. Just like the Lionel Ritchie song." Aurora giggled and stood up.
Danny held her hand as they made their way to the dance floor. Whitesnake's 'Is This Love' was playing. They found a spot and Danny put his arms around her.
"Are you having fun?" She asked him.
"I'm with you, of course I am." he smiled.
She smiled. "You say the sweetest things."
"You know, you and I haven't had an official date yet. Every time we've been out it's been either with Don and Aiden, or we've been out as friends." Danny said.
"Yeah, you're right." She smiled.
"I think we need to fix that." Danny said.
"Well, where do you want to go?" She asked.
"I am not sure yet. But next Friday, we're going out. Just you and me, our first official date." Danny said.
"I can't wait." She smiled.
"Voglio baciarti." Danny said.
"What'd you say?" Aurora asked.
Danny leaned in and kissed her.
"That I want to kiss you." Danny smiled.
"You know that Italian still makes me weak in the knees…even more now." Aurora said.
"Why do you think I keep using it?" Danny winked.
"Well Flack, just you and me now." Aiden said as they watched Danny and Aurora snuggling on the dance floor.
"You'll always have Vicaro." Flack smirked.
"I mean of our little foursome….Danny and Aurora are all in love." Aiden said. "Just leaves us."
"They'll still hang out with us. At least until Danny is able to get her into bed. Then we might not ever see them." Flack said.
"Why wouldn't we see them?" Aiden asked.
"If I had a girlfriend that looked like that….I wouldn't leave the bedroom." Flack smiled.
Aiden rolled her eyes. "You're missing my point here. I was trying to say that our little group dynamic will have to change some now that two of us are a couple."
"I don't think it'll change much. They'll just be a couple now instead of flirting endlessly." Flack said.
"She really loves him." Aiden said.
"He really loves her." Flack said.
"This just might work for the two of them." Aiden said.
"Music is speeding up a bit, wanna go join them?" Flack asked.
"Yeah." Aiden said and stood up.
Don and Aiden came to the dance floor near Aurora and Danny. Eddie Money singing 'Take Me Home Tonight' was blaring throughout the club.
"Now that you're with Rora, you gonna invest in those Monster Ballads she and Aiden swear is a sure way to get laid?" Flack asked Danny.
"Oh yeah, I'm gonna run out and buy it first thing in the morning." Danny said with sarcasm.
"What are we doing in the morning?" Aurora asked.
"You and I are having breakfast." Danny smiled and kissed her cheek.
Aurora smiled. "You're spoiling me."
"That's okay, you're mine to spoil." Danny said.
"Hey Aurora, could you and Aiden grind together?" Don asked.
"Flack…..in your porn collection at home is any of it NOT girl on girl?" Aurora asked.
"Of course, I like a variety." Flack smirked. "But you and Aiden are both hot and here."
"Hey, I actually had a threesome with them." Danny smirked.
Aiden punched his arm. "You did not. That case was how long ago?"
Danny pulled Aurora against him. "I am half-way there now." He winked.
Aurora rolled her eyes. "Dream on Messer."
"I'm cute." He smiled.
"Yes you are." She kissed him.
