"Not a good afternoon for you, Danny?" Mary Connell teased her best friend, Danny McCoy as he arrived for his shift as protégé to the Security Chief of Montecito Casino, looking like he'd been staring into a toilet bowl that entire morning.
"Yeah, worst hangover I've ever had, at least since the one I had after graduating from Basic training," Danny grimaced as he leaned against a solid pillar. "I still don't feel like I've gotten it all out of my system."
"Poor baby," she crooned and placed her palm against his forehead. "No fever," she frowned. "Did you take any aspirin?"
Danny shook his head.
"Well maybe you should. I'll see if any of the "bar-ladies," have any," she offered, adjusting the straps to her cleavage-baring mini-dress. "I'm fresh out and I can't get out of here till at least eight tonight. The boss is actually agreeing with my idea of giving this place a little holiday spirit."
"Holiday? Christmas isn't for three months, Mary."
"I know. I'm talking about Halloween!"
Danny fought hard to keep his gorgeous eyes from rolling back. "Haven't you had enough costume spirit with the whole King Arthur deal?" he teased her despite the headache that was itching to come on and make his day even more miserable.
"You don't like it? I thought it would be cool, you know, have the "hookers," dress up as bunnies."
Now Danny was going to roll his eyes. Didn't the hookers bare enough as it was? But his thoughts were distracted by a creative image of his mind of Delinde sporting a pair of fuzzy ears, an adorable tail and not much else. And when they were in the security of his no-camera room, she could reveal what was underneath all that.
Only it wasn't going to happen. Delinde Deline, big Ed's daughter have proven to be more than her mother's good looks. And Delinde was no longer his girlfriend. But then he sort of wondered if they'd even been.
Well now that that was over, he would learn to heed the blunt advice Mary had given him on the subject of his sleeping with his boss' daughter.don't.
He came back to reality and the sight of Mary's big brown eyes, teasing, innocent and insecure in the same glance.
"But hey, if that's what you want to do, go for it. Don't let me stop you, you're the Special Events Coordinator. Your job is to enlighten this place with your creativity, mine is to watch it and make sure everything goes off without a hitch," Danny shrugged then added in a serious note. "As long as I don't end up wearing a leotard and high heels."
"Danny, I know you're thinking about her," Mary cut in accusingly. "Don't. She's the reason you felt you had to drink till you passed out."
"I'm not," Danny lied then saw Big Ed's bodyguard appear over Mary's shoulder. "Hey listen, there's Ed's dog telling me I'd better be in his office in five minutes." He gave her a kiss on the cheek. "I'll talk to you later."
"Okay, I'll try and have the aspirin by the time I see you on the floor again," Mary told him, earning him an appreciative glance from Danny.
"Thanks Mary," he called back before he hurried up to the security room. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Danny approached the door to the main surveillance room and was just about to go in when he saw a beautiful blond, wearing a slinky dress that hugged her perfect curves come strutting down the hall towards him, the sound of her stilleto heels echoed off the walls.
Delinda Deline.
Now Danny knew it was going to be a bad day.
"Now how to let her know she hasn't torn me to shreds and that I was she who'd lost a good catch," Danny thought quickly to himself and decided the first he should do was straighten up, at least where his posture was concerned.
"Hi Danny!" she chippered as she approached him, the moment he'd decided to look at her.
"G~good morning, Delinda," he tried to say with as much enthusiasm but his voice came out sounding hard and gruff.
"Uh yeah, good morning," she replied, mocking the up-tight security protégé who really seemed to believe that she believed he was over her. "Lighten up Danny, if I'd known you would go all crazy on me, I would have made sure you had a different girl before I dumped you."
"Heedlessly threw away my heart is more like it!" he thought to himself, cursing himself for still having feelings for her. Just one look into her beautiful blue eyes and his brain turned to mush. Well what else was new?
"No, I'm actually doing pretty good. So, don't' worry about me. I'll bounce back, just maybe not tonight. I think I'm going to lay low, I'm not too keen on making another mistake that'll cost me my heart," Danny boasted, but limited himself from gloating.
Delinda began chuckling that little chuckle that always made his knees go out. "It's too late to be modest, Danny," she teased him, pulling on his tie. She was so close to him he could feel her breath on his cheek. "Your best friend told me how bummed out you are."
"Oh she did, did she?"
"I~I got dumped by a very beautiful girl who I really did have feelings for. And to make it worse, who's father happens to be my boss and would probably threaten me with castration and send the remains to my father," Danny pointed out, leaning against the wall, trying not to relish in the fact that any passer-by that saw them right now would have to think that it was she who wanted him back. She was the one standing in her current seductive position. She was practically riding his leg. "But I'm over it now, really, so you go on now, go and find the right one for you."
"Or your flavor of the week," he almost couldn't help but adding.
"That's so sweet, Danny," Delinda crooned and pulled him to her and kissed him full on the mouth before he knew what was happening. "And I do hope you're okay, especially after that monstrous hangover you had."
This comment actually got on Danny's last nerve. "What did you do? Go snooping around, finding out about me from my best friend?" he demanded, folding his arms. He would have considered pushing her away if he knew that her father wasn't watching him as things were happening. "And exactly what did you threaten her with? She's loyal to me, I know our friendship means a lot to her so she wouldn't say anything if you didn't do something." Then he became quiet and added, "you didn't happen to threaten to take away her job, did you? Because believe it or not, even after that King Arthur nightmare, she really is having a hell of a time."
"Au Contraire, McCoy," she giggled and Danny felt that any moment now he was going to lose his dignity. "She came up to me asking me if I had aspirin for her best friend who'd finally left the bathroom. And all of MonteCito knows who Mary's best friend is~~~ you."
Danny closed his eyes from embarrassment, not wanting to let her see how he was reacting. He would have preferred to look straight into her eyes and not give her the satisfaction of seeing him squirm but hey, you couldn't have everything.
Note to self: Get Mary Conell for making his life even more miserable.
Yeah, he did need something for his headache, bad, but going to Delinda made him look pathetically desperate. Ironic she would even offer him the aspirin when it was this beautiful siren that had pushed him to drink the past evening.
"I asked her to ask her friends," Danny put in coldly, his mouth becoming a tight line.
"And you didn't think we were? Come on, Danny. Mary is pretty enough to have plenty of guy friends but she's got girlfriends, in me, Sam and Nessa. And you know what, I think I moved up on her list, dating you," Delinda added. "She's all about being there for you, Danny."
Oh yeah. That was probably true. Not! He'd seen how jealous Mary had become when she'd found out that he'd slept with someone who wasn't her. Could Delinda really be that naïve?
"And I don't thank her enough for that," Danny quipped, though it was an honest comment, and made his body go rigid to give Delinda a hint.
"Well, I told Dad and he was very happy about it," Delinda informed him, rolling her eyes.
Danny surprised her by saying, "good," like he was happy about himself.
Delinda actually stepped back, looking shocked, hurting filled her beautiful light eyes. Now they were having an awkward silence. In a minute or two, this would all be over.
"Well, I guess you'd better get going. You know how daddy is when you're late."
"Yeah," Danny replied, haughtily. "And I'm sure the Casino floor is filled with new fish, waiting for you to lure them in like you did with me."
Delinda didn't say anything as though pretending she hadn't heard his last comment. She began walking off.
Danny let out a sigh and looked into the camera that adjusted to pan down on his face to identify him when the blond paused in midstep, turned around and he caught sight of her out of the corner of his eye.
"W~we're still going to be friends, right Danny?"
That "friends," line that women were convinced made the breakup a little easier to deal with, not knowing that men actually detested the line and hearing it actually made them more reluctant to remain friends.
But she was too adorable. She was actually staring at him, biting her lip, waiting for him to acknowledge her and provide her with an honest answer. Face it, Danny McCoy wasn't god's gift to man but he knew that he wasn't bad looking and he was a self-named lady's man.
"Uh~~~sure, of course."
"Great," she chittered, flashing him a model perfect smile. "I'm really glad you're being mature about this, despite how I dropped you which was real immature. I was really wondering how I should approach you after I let you down like that, if we had to meet again. I mean the more Big Ed likes you, the more likely it is that you're become a family friend and then~~~you'll turn into a boy-version of Nessa, if you know what I mean."
"A boy-version of a girl?"
"No. This freaky thing where he starts to like the children of his friends as his own, forgetting that he actually has a daughter who really does love him , just doesn't know how to show it, like I am with most guys," Delinda explained. Danny noticed her voice cracked and tears were starting to pool in her long dark lashes.
"Hey, hey," Danny crooned, walking up to her, trying to be respectful and not stare down her dress at her obvious cleavage. "Nobody can replace you, you're amazing," he replied, "that's why I love you."
Delinda raised an eyebrow at him and then Danny remembered that he and Delinda were now non-existent.
"T~thanks Danny," she murmured and held him in her arms for a moment, taking in the smell of his cologne and aftershave that had aroused her the moment she'd met him. She then wiped her eyes and pulled back before she could fall for him all over again. She straightened his tie and then patted him on the shoulder after smiling into the camera at her father who she knew was always watching. "Hope you get that aspirin, Danny. Tell me if my father gives you any grief."
"Right, the aspirin."
Danny watched her walk away until he couldn't see not a sliver of her dress and then he shook his head hard, trying to get rid of the osculating thoughts that had resurfaced during that almost-embrace then when he was sure there was no way Big Ed could accuse him of anything, he walked over to the door and checked himself in for duty.
