CHAPTER 10:

"So, " Danny said, handing Louie a glass of cold water, "You wanna tell me what happened with you and Sonny?"
"Danny, you know, Sonny was jus pissed that the body was found, thought that i had snitched on him and-"
Danny sighed. " well at least he cant do anything now..."
"Anyway, Danny boy, i jus tried to make everything right for you. I knew that if i could get a confession from Sonny then -"
"Louie, forget about it, ok?" Danny said rubbing his eyes. " It's all over with now."
Louie took another sip of water and placed the glass on the side. "So you gonna tell me what that pretty young thing was doing here while you were getting coffee?"
" Oh.. Thats Lindsey..." Danny's voice trailed off and a smile crept through the corner of his mouth. "She is a colleague of mine.. and actually Louie.. We're getting married."
"Danny dont go throwin' ya life away," Louie replied with a look of disgust on his face. " She's too good for you. I can tell by her eyes. You aint down for gettin the good girls. You don't need her cause you got me to - "
"What is wrong with you?" Danny shouted, standing up. " You have no idea what i have been going through these past few months, so dont preach to me like you have always been there for me Louie. Lindsey has been with me through the bad times as a friend, a colleague.. heck, no one in the family has been there for me the way she has... Not even you."
Danny pulled his jacket on and way his way to the door.
"Danny, look .. wait! I didnt - " Louie started to say. Danny turned and faced him, glaring at him.

"How dare you think that we can jus go back to the way everything used to be!" Danny exclaimed " I aint the brother you used to know Louie, and i sure as hell dont wanna be... My life has changed."

And with that, Danny turned and left, slamming the door behind him.

¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬

It was a little after Eleven thirty when Lindsey reached Danny's apartment. She slung her jacket on the back of the couch and walked through to the kitchen. Opening the fridge she pulled out a bottle of wine and poured herself a glass before going to the bathroom. She lit the candles, poured bubblebath into the steaming water, got undressed and slipped under the water. Lindsey sighed at the feel of the water washing over her body. She picked up the remote for the stereo and pressed play. "High" by James Blunt filled the room.

"Because im hiiiiighhh..." Lindsey sang to herselfas she sank deeper.

¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬

Danny walked into his apartment. It was silent but he could hear a faint humming of music . He slung his jacket ontop of Lindseys and followed the sound.

"You didnt wanna invite me then?" Danny said with a grin as he leaned against the doorway to the bathroom, his hands in his pockets.

Lindsey jumped as she heard his voice.
"Jesus Danny, don't do that to me!" she exclaimed throwing the sponge at him. " You wanna join me? Theres plenty of room...?"

Before Lindsey could finish wat she was saying, Danny was stripped down to nothing and sticking his feet in the tub behind her. She leant forward so he could get himself comfortable, and then leaned back between his legs, resting her head against his chest.

" Mmmm, this is nice.." Danny said softly as he kissed her neck. His hands moved up and down her arms, massaging the bubbles in. "How come you never came up with this idea before?"

"Because you're a in-and-out-the shower-in-ten-minutes kinda guy!" she replied. She ran her hands up and down his thighs, as he carried n kissing her neck.
"Well, maybe we can change that.. starting from today!"

Lindsey turned her face to look at him and before she knew it, their tongues were slipping in and out of each other's mouths.

"So how did things go with Louie?" Lindsey replied, a few minutes later as they sat in silence, her lips still tingling from the kiss.

"I stormed out." Danny replied as he moved strands of hair from her sweaty forehead.
"What do you mean you stormed out?"

"He was jus preaching to me about stuff, saying how i dont deserve you, i'll jus be ruining my life and i only need him, yadda-yadda-"
"By that he means me don't he..." Lindsey voice fell as she interrupted him.

"Hey,it doesnt matter what Louie thinks. It makes no difference to me!" Danny replied, putting her arms around her tightly. "I love you Lindsey Monroe. Nothing, - not even my brother - is gonna change that."
"Ya know, when he woke up.. he was jus staring at me as if i was the one that put him there... it was horrible Danny."

"It's ok baby, honestly." he kissed her cheek, and breathed deep. " If Louie cant accept that this is what my life is now, then -"

"You two can't go on fighting forever Danny.."
"Until he can understand that this is my life Montana.. then.. i dont know..." Danny replied shrugging his shoulders. "I think we should get out of here, my skin is starting to look like a prune."
Lindsey laughed as she followed Danny into the bedroom, wrapped in a towel, her hair still dripping. She changed into a pair of Danny's fleecy bottoms and pulled on his Yankees shirt. Both had finished their nightly bathroom routines and climbed in between the cool crisp bed sheets. Lindsey snuggled up to Danny underneath his arm, and he turned to face her, stroking her soft warm cheek.

"Thank you." Danny whispered. He gazed into those gorgeous brown eyes of hers that he loved so much. They would always draw his attention to her as if she was calling him.

"What for?" she replied, smiling. She felt goosebumps run down her back as her legs became entangled with his.

"For being here with me. For making today even more special than it should be. And for making me love you so much!" Danny replied, smiling back at her.

"Awwww, Danny.. if anything i should be the one saying thank you to you!" She moved her face closer to his and placed a warm soft kiss on his lips, tasting the mint from the toothpaste. " When i came here to New York, i could never have imagined, dreamed, that things would have come this far in such a short amount of time. Before i left Montana, everyone was saying 'make sure you dont hook up with any of them city guys.. especially the born 'n bred Yonkers boys'. And look where i am..."
Danny's face turned into a big grin as he ran his hand through her damp hair. "You make me so happy, Montana." He pulled her closer and parted his lips, ready for his tongue to get aqquainted with hers. As soon as Lindsey's tongue hit his she felt her heart race. As they pulled apart from each other she snuggled closer to him, letting him hold her tight.

"Good night Messer. I love you."
