Danny and Mike stood there staring after Sam and Nessa.
"So, what has Ed got you doing today?" Mike asked Danny.
Danny, however, was still staring at Sam. She is so beautiful, he thought.
"Hello, Danny!" Mike said waving his hand in front of Danny's face.
"Huh, what?" Danny said suddenly, looking back at Mike.
"Awww man, you got it bad!" Mike replied as he began walking back to the front desk.
"What are you talking about?" Danny asked as he tried to catch up to Mike.
"Sam, you like her, don't you?" Mike said, stopping to face Danny.
Danny laughed and then he looked back at Sam, "Is it that obvious?"
It was Mike's turn to laugh, "No, it just looks like you're check for spinach in her teeth!"
"Shut up!" Danny said and he began walking in front of Mike.
"Listen, you gotta tell her!"
"Trust me I've tried, it's just that whenever I start to get it all out there, she smiles and I just blank out!" Danny replied as they reached the front desk.
"Well, I don't know what to tell you," Mike smiled, "Except maybe you shouldn't face her, you know the next time you try and tell her. You wouldn't want to see her smile cause you might just..." Mike made a face that looked an awful lot like a zombie, "blank out!" he finished in a whisper.
"I knew I shouldn't have told you!" Danny sighed.
"Told Mike what?" Sam asked as she approached them.
"Oh... uh..." Danny replied looking at Mike.
"It was just a stupid joke!" Mike said in response.
"Yeah, you wouldn't like it!" Danny said quickly.
"Oh yeah, try me!" Sam dared.
"Uh ok, but Mike tells it better!" Danny replied looking at Mike once again.
"No, buddy, I couldn't do that. I mean it's your joke, I just wouldn't feel right!" Mike said hitting Danny on the back.
"Ow." Danny muttered under his breath.
"Look, would someone just tell me the joke!" Sam said looking between the two of them.
"Alright fine, but I warned you!" Danny began, "Why did... the...uh... chicken cross... the road?" he finished with a smile.
"I don't know, why Danny?"
"To get to the other side!" Danny replied as Mike banged on the desk like he was playing the drums.
"You two are so weird," Sam chuckled.
"Hey, I told the joke was lame!" Mike said as he walked towards the front door.
Sam shook her head as she headed towards the elevator.
"Hey Sam!" Danny called.
"Yeah!" Sam replied turning around.
"How are you feeling?" He asked.
"A lot better!" She said with a smile.
"Well, how about I treat you to that lunch that I promised?" He asked her.
"Sounds good, same time same place?" She replied.
Danny simply nodded.
"Great, I'm going over to the Mystique right now, so I can make the reservations!" She chirped.
"Why are you headed to the Mystique?" Danny asked her.
"Oh, one of our high rollers wants a martini, Danny you should see this guy he's won like 200 grand!" she replied.
"Well, why can't you just get it from the bar?" he asked her.
"He said something about fresher olives. I really don't mind, it means I get a bigger tip!" She smiled.
"Do you want me to come with you?" He offered.
"Danny, I'm fine! Will you stop worrying?" She said with her hands on hips.
"Alright, sorry!" He replied with a smile.
She gave him a quick kiss on the cheek and headed off towards the elevator. Danny placed a hand on his cheek and smiled.
"I hate it when Mike's right!" he said as he turned around and headed into the casino.
