Part Three - Suprise, Suprise

"This game is..."

Danny smirked at his own fun idea and he liked the feeling of seeing everyone's anticipating faces before him, their misery when he held out for the answer.

"Dance-Bingo!"

Everyone responded just as cheerfully as last time with applause and great big smiles on their faces. This really did make everyone's night more fun.

This was a huge part of the genius plan to get Martin and Samantha together by the end of the night. Everything had to run smoothly and nobody could discover his secret.

"Okay, here are the rules everyone" Danny said to the group. "You each will be given a play plan with 9 squares on it. Like in a normal game of Bingo. But in these squares you won't put numbers but the names of all the persons you dance with."

Loud rumbles and discussions about the game were started all over the place and Danny had to clink hard and scream to get their attention back. It reminded him of kindergarten when all the kids were so loud.

"Oi! Everyone!" He screamed. "I'm not finished here. You have to know all the rules in order to play the game, right? So, listen. You dance just one dance with each person, which means you dance from the start of the song until the end for all dumb people out there". Everyone gigged on cue, like they do in the background of comedy shows when somebody tells a bad or good joke.

"After the song ends you wright the name of the person that you danced with in one of the squares. Then you move, find a new dance partner and do the same thing over again. We'll continue until everybody has filled all the squares. Then I have this little bowl up here with everyones names in it. I will drag names and those of you who have danced with that person and therefore have that name will put an X over that square. Whoever fills their whole plan with X's first wins and gets a prize. Does everybody get the rules?"

"Yes" they all said in unison.

"Okay then, let's play Dance-bingo!"

Everyone gathered around the conference table to grab a play-plan while the music started playing. Soon a dance floor was created and filled with people having a great time.

Martin had stepped back a little bit; he didn't feel like dancing if it wasn't with one particular person. Samantha. He didn't want anyone else so it was a waste of time.

Across the office, leaning against the other wall Samantha was standing watching the dance floor. She saw happy people everywhere and felt very lonely. Christmas had never been a big thing in her family and this was just one of her desperate attempts to make it a little different this year. Everything really was perfect. She was at a party with her friends, having fun. But still there was something missing. And she knew all too well what it was…

Danny watched Martin and Samantha from a distance. It was sad that everyone was dancing and having a great time and there were two people that didn't participate in the game, but where thinking of each other.

They were the only ones that weren't on the dance floor, and yet they made no attempts to unite and just maybe start talking or flirting, or trying to do something about it. They really badly needed Danny's help.

He had thought that maybe when he started things and gave them an opportunity to get together and finally be happy, one of them would come to his or her senses and take a little initiative; maybe realize they had nothing to lose. But no, it didn't seem like it. Luckily for them he had counted on this when he had formed his plan.

The next song started up and people started swapping dance partners with each other.

The activity of the two lonely longing souls on different sides of the room didn't change. Time for the plan, Danny thought.

The Music playing was kind of loud so when Danny lowered the volume everyone turned to face him, looking to him with question marks.

What? This was only the second dance and the game should go on for at least another seven songs, what could Danny possibly want now? Sam thought as she watched his actions.

"Excuse me everyone. I'm sorry for interrupting the dance, it will soon start again, I promise. But there's just one thing I have to tell you. This game is compulsory, everyone has to play. From what I can see, there are only two people who currently aren't. So Martin and Samantha, get your butts on that dance floor and start dancing with each other"

Samantha's POV

Samantha's eyes widened in shock at Danny's statement. No. He couldn't do this. No, no, no. He knew she liked Martin; he couldn't force her to dance with him.

Suddenly her eyes met Martin's blue gaze from across the room. She looked right in to them and saw the same shock she was feeling right there too.

But deep down, there was something else. It wasn't just shock and reluctance in his eyes. There was something there. Did he want this? It was like a question, or a pleading. Was he asking her to dance with him just by looking at her that way?

No, no. He couldn't be. Great. Now she was imagining things too. Was she becoming delusional? Just what she needed on top of all this.

Time seemed to stand still as she kept her eyes locked with Martin's. She didn't want to look away and right now she didn't think she could either. It was crazy, but it felt like it was impossible to look anywhere else then into those blue eyes.

She wasn't very attentive to their surroundings but she knew it was deadly quiet and the whole office was staring at them. If someone were to drop a needle on the floor it would be heard loud and clear.

It was strange really. Under normal circumstances she would've panicked and probably run away, but now she just couldn't bring herself to break the gaze she and Martin shared.

It was like they were the only ones that existed in the world. She didn't know how long they had been standing like this, and she didn't care.

She was still in a state of shock, but somewhere within her a certain nervousness and anxiousness was beginning to form.

Martin's POV

His first reaction when he heard what Danny said was to look up from the floor to where he knew she stood. He guessed she would be looking at him, and he was right. Her beautiful brown eyes were right there.

His first feeling was complete and utter shock. He had understood that Danny knew about his feelings for Samantha by the way he acted in the office, but he never thought he would do this and try to push them together.

Then it became rather embarrassing as it felt like the whole office looked right into his soul and knew what he was thinking and feeling.

How many people had Danny told? They were all looking from him to Samantha, waiting for an action and anticipating what they would do next.

It felt like hours that he just stood there and looked into those brown eyes. She looked as shocked and scared as he was, he didn't exactly think she was happy or would come running into his arms, dying to dance with him.

Clearly it was the exact opposite; she didn't feel any need to dance with him at all.

Still he couldn't help but feel a little happy about the situation. There was a small chance he would get to dance with the woman of his dreams.

He continued to watch her, standing there so stunningly beautiful but still insecure of what to do. He knew he had to act and do something, he couldn't just stand there. He so wanted to just walk over and sweep her of her feet.

And it was obligatory; he had to do it, right? Slowly, he was persuading himself to do this. As he saw it, there was no way either of them could escape or walk around this.

It wasn't likely they could run out of the office, that would seem kind of weird. And since Danny seemed very determined that everybody had to dance, trying to escape that way wasn't an option either.

So they had to dance with each other, that couldn't be so bad, right? It wasn't like just because they shared a dance anything else would happen. He might want it too but since she quite obviously wasn't ready or didn't want to, nothing would happen.

It was just two friends and co-workers sharing a dance. Nothing more, at least not to her. Or so he thought.

And with that he slowly started taking steps and walking towards Samantha.

Danny's POV

Yes! It was happening. Martin was finally making a move and walking. So far his plan was working out perfectly.

Okay, he was a little worried during all that time they were just staring at each other. Oh well, very worried. Minute after minute had seemed to pass by and they were just frozen to the spot. But just as he was ready to go in there and just push Martin to start walking, he had seen him starting to persuade himself into doing what Danny wanted.

He had seen his inner debate with his own mind, and the right side finally winning as he started walking. Now Danny slowly moved to the stereo for the next phase of his plan. All he needed was a little luck and that they would be in the right place at the right time...

Samantha's POV

As soon as she saw those blue eyes coming closer and his feet start walking, she stopped feeling anything but nervousness.

Martin was coming to dance with her. Her Martin. The one she had been in love with for months now. She had finally admitted it.

This was crazy. And so embarrassing she would have to kill Danny later. She was just so confused. What was this? A set-up? An evil prank?

She didn't know what to think. All she knew was that Martin was coming closer and closer. She watched him walk towards her, a strange feeling of anxiety yet nervousness in her stomach. She was in love with him. It was the only answer to her feelings.

He had a determined yet warm expression on his face and he looked deadly handsome in his suit with the ocean colored tie that matched those deep eyes.

And all of a sudden he was there, standing in front of her with a silent question in his eyes and holding out a hand. She took it.

They walked out on the dance floor and all the other couples soon joined them. He held her hand as he led her towards the center of the room, and it felt great, just to hold hands.

Then the next shock came

When the music started playing it was a ballad. Before Danny's little interruption it had been up-beat and funky. Samantha immediately turned towards Danny, throwing him an angry glare. This was a plan by Danny after all.

Damn it, she had let herself get fooled by that man again. Before she had the idea that this just might be his way to set-up her and Martin, but denied it and thought it was just a way for him to humiliate and embarrass both of them as much as possible so he could tease them on Monday.

Apparently not.

Martin was as angry as she was so Danny got double the angry looks, but he didn't mind.

He knew very well that their anger was just a facade for their real emotions and was because he had humiliated them, not because they didn't want to dance with each other. That they did. There wasn't so much they could do about it anyway; everybody else had already started dancing.

So Martin wrapped his arms securely around Samantha's waist and rested his hands on the small of her back, and she brought her arms around his neck and rested her head on his shoulder. They started to sway along with the beat of the romantic music and slowly move around on the dance floor.

As they danced, Martin came to think that they hadn't said anything to each other since Danny so smoothly announced they would have to dance together. Wasn't that weird?

He felt as if he had to say something, just to break the silence.

"You comfortable?" He whispered softly in her ear. She felt his tickling breath against her skin and a shiver ran down her spine.

"Yes" She replied. Why wouldn't she be? She was in his arms, the best place in the world.

"You sure?" He asked again, just to be certain.

"Yeah, I'm sure. Don't worry" She said and lifted her head reluctantly of his shoulder to look at him. It was sweet that he cared so much about her feelings.

She looked into his ocean deep blue eyes and got lost there again, just like before. Those eyes seemed to have that effect on her. He looked right back at her, and it was almost like time stopped again. They were having a moment, swaying to the music and looking into each others eyes.

Right then, they both felt so happy. That meant it was time for their next surprise, which just might be the biggest of them all ...

The music stopped. What was it with Danny and interruptions this evening? She had seen him earlier over at the stereo; this must be his work too.

When they broke their intense gaze and looked around they could see that once again they were the center of attention and everybody had formed a ring around them and was staring.

Oh my God, Sam thought. How long had the others stood like that? Had they been watching this entire time? She didn't think so, but it wasn't impossible. She had been too busy falling in love with Martin to notice.

This definitely wasn't a prank because when she looked up at Martin he shared her surprised expression on his face.

Inside Martin was as confused as she was. He didn't feel like being humiliated by Danny one more time this evening, even though he had a growing suspicion that that would be the case.

What the hell was going on? The dance couldn't be over yet, could it?

He didn't want it to be, it was the worlds greatest feeling to have Samantha in his arms. If he could he would make it last forever.

But if the dance wasn't over then why was everyone staring? Had they embarrassed themselves this time or what?

Then in the corner of their eyes they both saw Danny coming towards them with a cheeky smirk on his face. He was up to something and they both knew it.

Hadn't he made fun of them enough tonight? He should have just leave them alone now that everything was going so well, Sam thought.

She was actually beginning to think that maybe, just maybe, Martin felt something for her too. They could possibly have a little chance. Why should Danny come and ruin it all? Damn it.

Danny had turned off the stereo at just the right moment and was very proud of himself. It was time for the grand finale of his brilliant plan, If he could say so himself.

He walked closer and closer to Martin and Sam who had stepped back from each other a little but were still standing close, which was good.

It was time.

As Danny walked closer and closer both Martin and Sam became more and more nervous. They had long since figured out he had something up his sleeve, they just didn't know what.

He was such a close friend and co-worker to them and knew them almost inside and out so he could've come up with anything.

He probably had several ideas but chose the one most embarrassing for them so he could have something to gossip about in the office on Monday. They both knew that humiliating them was his favourite activity.

So as he came closer and closer it wasn't so strange that they wondered what was going on. It was after all Danny they were talking about here.

The rest of the office was following his every step with the same anticipation, so they did didn't seem to know either.

When he was standing just a few feet away from them, he said with a calm and yet teasing voice:

"Look up".

That was it. Martin and Samantha both looked above them at the same time. And there it was.

Mistletoe.

It was hanging right over their heads, they were right beneath it. It was really amazing they hadn't discovered it before, of course courtesy of Danny, it was well hidden behind a lamp just for that purpose, but still, they were FBI-agents.

Now they both understood this had been Danny's plan all along, he had made up a game which would force them to dance together and then just waited until the right moment when they were dancing directly under the mistletoe to turn of the music and force them to kiss.

Unfortunately, it seemed like he succeeded - Or was it really unfortunate? Sam thought. Inside she felt like she wanted to kiss Martin. Yeah, she did. But did he want it too?

She was scared to death to find out he didn't want the same thing at all, that would devastate her. She felt very insecure but moved past her doubts and decided to look into Martins eyes anyway, to try to get some sense into all of this. So she did, she looked into his eyes.

When their eyes met, Martin didn't know what to think. During their dance, Martin thought just for a moment that his feelings were actually mutual, and now seeing her not running away or looking completely terrified, he asked himself, could it really be so? Was it possible that she felt the same way he did?

As he wasn't 100 sure, would he dare to chance and kiss her in front of all of these people? If she rejected him, he wouldn't only heartbroken, but also humiliated for life. But somehow he felt like it was just how someone once had told him:

'To win in life, sometimes you have to take a chance.'

And when Martin looked down and met Samantha's eyes in the exact same moment he did, He knew his mind wouldn't have any chance in this battle against his heart. When he saw those chocolate brown pupils stare at him like that, he knew all he could do was follow his heart.

He let go of all his doubts and slowly leaned in, tilting his head a little to the right and bringing a hand up to carefully hold her arm, he gently pushed his lips against hers in the sweetest and most tender kiss.

Samantha stood hand fallen by the emotions coursing through her body. When she met Martin's eyes she had somehow understood what he was going to do, but was still equally surprised when his lips met hers in their first kiss. She would've never imagined it felt this good just to kiss him. It was perfect and amazing, just like Martin, she thought.

So there they were, in the middle of the MPU-office, sharing a kiss which anyone could see was way more then just friendly, with everyone watching them. Completely lost in each other and oblivious to that they were in public and watched by a whole office.

But right now, they didn't mind. They were too caught up in so long suppressed feelings for each other coming up to the surface.

So they stayed like that, just kissing. Who knew that could be so great? Well, for them, it was.

After another five minutes of watching, and there was still no acknowledgement from either Martin or Samantha, the crowd got tired of watching and went to continue the party without them.

Only Danny stayed for a little while longer and watched. He was happy that his plan had worked out so well and that he even got to embarrass them a little bit in the process. Now they all would definitely have something to talk about the following Monday. His guess was that Martin and Samantha would be the number one office-gossip for quite awhile now. He was happy about that too.

But most of all, he was happy for Martin and Samantha, that they had gotten what they both had wanted for such a long time. And he was proud to have helped them. Right now they might be a little mad at him for doing what he did and purposely embarrassing them in front of the whole office, but one day he knew they would thank him.

Things would probably change a lot from here for them, both inside and outside the office, but only for the better. Danny knew that now once they had taken that first step, they could take care of themselves. They no longer needed Danny's help to develop their relationship, but that was okay.

But just because from now on, they would be a couple and in a relationship together, that didn't mean the game of stolen glances would end.

They would always do that, steal glances from each other.


The End
