Miss Metal- Wow I am so happy and impressed that someone took that time to read my story. Thank you so much. I hope you continue reading and enjoying!
CrazygirlHaley5555- As always I have a plan for what will happen in time.
LizfromItaly- Thank you so much, I work very hard on this story. And it's well noted that you like Don. He is a cutie, I see why.
Meadow567- I didn't even pick up the Maxwell coffee thing. That was coincidence because I picked Maxwell after a local politician! And glad you liked the ending. I figured you would.
Jordayna- Maybe another case or something. And Sonny just won't go away. Just be patient. And I still can't see Danny dressed Goth.
Emador- Hope you like this. I know you will. And Roger, LOL.
"Sheldon, only you would pick a Knicks game for us to come to on your birthday." Aiden laughed as we walked into the arena.
"Hey it was this or a strip club. And I didn't think you ladies or Mac would like that." Sheldon smiled.
"But me and Danny are taking you to strip clubs later this weekend for your birthday." Flack told him. "By the way Aiden, as usual you're my 'date' tonight."
"Stella, you're my 'date'." Sheldon smiled and put his arm around her.
"Wait, that leaves Mac without a date." I said. "Mac, I'll be your date, course you have to share me with Danny."
"Mac I would actually trust with you." Danny joked.
Mac just raised his eyebrows at us.
"I finally get a date and if I try to get fresh with her she'd kill me." Hawkes joked. "And then the girls would help her hide my body."
"We would too." Aiden winked.
"Next time pick a Rangers game." I giggled.
"I see Pittsburgh is getting rid of your precious Craig Patrick." Flack laughed.
"Assholes. Two Stanley cups and no appreciation. An Olympic gold medal and no appreciation. The whole Pens organization needs a wake-up call. They need to realize that Mario Lemuiex is retired. Sidney Crosby while a great player is not going to single-handedly save them from all their problems. And if they don't get their heads out of the asses they're going to be moved out of the city because the city can't afford to build them a new arena because they wasted all their money building two new stadiums for the Pirates and the Steelers that weren't needed despite the fact that voters voted no new stadiums to the tune of 73. Jerk-off Tom Murphy went against the vote to Harrisburg and got help from an even bigger crook in then Governor Tom Ridge and got them stadiums built." I went on.
Sheldon starts laughing. "Danny don't make her mad, I think with that temper she could hurt you."
"I've been listening to this speech for two days now." Danny smirked. "Flack knows how serious about hockey she is."
"How close are we to the cheerleaders?" Flack asked.
"I'm not sure." Sheldon said as we started making our way towards the seats.
"I'm getting drunk tonight. I am off the pain meds and want to drink!" Flack said.
"Me too." Sheldon said. "Mac?"
"No, a few beers will be just fine." Mac said.
"Rora, you mind if I get drunk?" Danny asked.
"As long as you're getting drunk to be one of the guys, have fun and enjoy Sheldon's birthday, go for it. But don't get drunk because you've got Sonny on your mind." I said.
"I'm not thinking about him. It's been a week, no word from him and we've got our restraining orders. Not to mention Flack, Mac, Stella, Vicaro and even Don Sr. called in every favor they could to make sure Sonny is carefully watched." Danny smiled.
"Then party hard and get drunk. I'll drag you home later." I smiled and kissed him.
"Danny has the perfect woman. She lets him go to strip clubs. She lets him get drunk and offers to look after him. She's hot. Flack why didn't we ask her out before him?" Sheldon asked.
Flack shrugged. "But I kissed her at the rave."
I rolled my eyes. "Yeah you kissed me, but Danny got me….what's that say about you?"
Flack pretended to pout.
"Next undercover case, I volunteer to be with Rora." Sheldon laughed.
Stella gently smacked his head. "You're my date. Quit trying to pick up other women in front of me." She joked.
"I couldn't pick up Rora if I tried my best moves and lines. Danny would kill me if she didn't first. And she'd probably yell at me more about hockey!" Sheldon winked.
We found our seats and sat down. They weren't courtside but were still good seats. The guys immediately ordered their beers. I was glad to see them having fun. Danny had a rough few days but was starting to relax about the Sonny Sassone mess.
"I love a good basketball game." Flack said.
"I love the cheerleaders." Sheldon said.
"You two need real dates. Besides me and Stella." Aiden said.
"Aiden, I decided that if you and I are single when we turn 40, we're getting married." Flack said to her.
"I didn't agree to this." Aiden laughed.
"Oh marry him. We need a little Donald Flack, III." I laughed.
"Cheerleaders are coming out!" Sheldon yelled.
"Hey Mac, whatta you think of their skirts?" Danny winked at Mac.
Mac rolled his eyes and said nothing.
The boys beers arrived and the players were introduced.
(Later)
By the third period, Danny, Don and Sheldon were pretty tipsy. Enough that they were being stupid. Mac and us women were amused. And I was thrilled Danny was having fun.
"Rora, you should dress like those cheerleaders." Danny said and put his arm around me.
"Yes that would look cute to prance around a crime scene in." I rolled my eyes.
"We wouldn't mind." Flack smiled. "Mac wouldn't mind, would you Mac?"
Mac gave Flack a stern look that made Flack laugh.
"I think you've all had enough drinks." Aiden said.
"You taking Flack home?" I asked her.
"Yeah I'll make sure the big lug is home and then check his shoulder before I leave." Aiden said.
"Mac, you live closer to Sheldon than I do." Stella said.
"I'll take him home." Mac sighed.
"Danny, we gotta bring your woman to a hockey game." Sheldon said.
"We do?" Danny asked.
"Yeah, ice in the arena, it'll be cold." Sheldon laughed.
"That's great. Next why don't you just stand in the frozen food aisle at the grocery store?" Aiden rolled her eyes.
"I did that in high school." Flack said.
"Son of an NYPD legend." Mac joked.
"We should've known that about Flack. He loves big…" Sheldon started.
"Enough." I said. "Yes that is well documented about Don."
Danny laid his head on my shoulder. "Baby you're so pretty."
"Thank you. We need to get you sobered up." I smiled. "But I like you when you're happy drunk and not brooding."
"I love you." Danny said.
"I love you too." I said.
"Wanna go to the bathroom for a little freaky-sneaky?" Danny asked.
"Behave yourself." I giggled.
"But you're so pretty." Danny said.
"Mac, get Danny a coffee would you?" I asked.
"I'll get three cups of it." Mac said and stood up.
"Rora, you know you've got the softest skin of any woman I've ever touched." Flack said.
"Why were you touching her skin? Danny will kill you." Sheldon said.
"You dumbass, I was touching her when we were undercover at the rave." Flack said.
"She does have soft skin." Danny smiled at me.
I raised an eyebrow. "I am Mac's date too you know. Maybe I'll go home with him."
"You wouldn't, you love me too much." Danny smiled.
"Don't you hate when they have you wrapped around their finger?" Stella smiled.
"Twerp knows I couldn't live without him." I giggled.
Mac came back with the coffee.
"Here Danny drink this." I said and handed him some coffee.
"You mad because I drank so much?" Danny asked.
"No, I just can't carry you home and want to be sure you can walk." I said.
"Marry her Danny. No other woman will treat you like she does." Flack said.
"Bachelor party and hott bridesmaids!" Sheldon said.
The buzzer sounded ending the game.
"Let's go. The subway is gonna be crowded." Stella said.
"A game wasn't a bad idea Sheldon." I said as we stood up.
"And we're taking him to see strippers!" Danny said.
We started making our way out of the arena. I was holding onto Danny who was a little bit tipsy. We walked across the parking lot heading for the subway.
"Rora, this reminds me of that story you were telling me about when you drunk in college." Danny stated laughing. "Guys, she gets drunk because she drank shots on an empty stomach and then…."
"Step Danny." I said as we were at the curb.
Danny didn't step and tumbled onto the ground. He started laughing.
"Are you okay?" Stella asked him.
"I'm fine. I just drank too much." Danny said.
I helped him up and we continued to the subway.
(Brooklyn)
We walked into Danny's apartment. Danny was still tipsy. I locked the door behind us and helped him to the couch.
"You need anything?" I asked him.
"You are staying with me tonight right?" Danny asked.
I smiled. "Of course I'll stay with you."
I sat down next to him. Danny leaned over and kissed me. "I had fun tonight. You're so pretty."
"It was fun. It was nice taking Sheldon out for his birthday." I said.
Danny leaned over and kissed me again. I felt his hands start under my shirt and I pulled back.
"Sweetie, you're drunk." I said.
"I know." Danny said.
"I love you and I know you love me, but wouldn't we enjoy it more if we were either both drunk or both sober?" I asked.
"You still stay the night with me?" Danny asked.
"Yeah, I'll sleep curled up in your arms." I smiled.
"Can I still grope you while pretending I'm asleep?" Danny winked.
"Sure. And you'll be sober when you wake up in the morning." I giggled.
"Can we get drunk together some night?" Danny asked.
"As long as we still use protection." I said.
"I'm gonna get ready for bed…..you coming too?" Danny asked.
"Yeah, I'll steal some of your clothes to sleep in." I said and stood up.
Danny groaned. "You look so hot in my clothes."
