Lindsay ran a hand threw her hair as she continued to do her paperwork; she chanced a glance at the clock and saw she had just thirty more minutes to go till she was off for the night. She took a deep breath and continued.
Shay was in the laundry room when Dawson snuck up on her.
"Whatcha doin?"
Shay jumped as she turned to face her giggling best friend. "Very funny." She said sarcastically.
Dawson just smiled as she bent down to grab a shirt Shay had dropped.
"So how are things with Casey?" Shay asked as she started the washing machine and hopped on top.
Dawson hopped up onto the dryer before answering a huge smile across her face "things are going great."
Shay smiled as she listened.
"So how's Lindsay?" Dawson asked as she gave Shay a small smile.
Shay smiled, "she's great and work has been kind of slow, so that's great too."
Dawson smiled, "yeah that's what Antonio said as well."
"You ready to bounce? Halsted said as he loomed over Lindsay's desk.
Lindsay glanced up and smiled, "hell yes I am."
Halsted smiled as he handed her, her jacket. "So any special plans?"
"I and Shay have dinner plans tonight, and then we might head to Molly's." Lindsay said as she and Halsted walked down the stairs.
They both nodded and said goodnight to Platt before stepping out into the cold Chicago night.
"Oh that's great." Halsted said with a hint of sadness to his voice.
Lindsay frowned as she headed towards her car, she felt bad before her and Shay started dating her and Halsted used to hang out all the time. "Why don't you join us at Molly's?" I'm sure Shay won't mind."
Halstead gave her a small smile, "thanks but I don't want to intrude," and with that he turned and headed towards his own car leaving a frowning Lindsay behind him.
"Hey babe." Lindsay said as she entered the apartment.
Shay looked up and smiled, "hey," she greeted Lindsay as she took her coat and hung it up.
"Dinner smells great." Lindsay said before kissing Shay chastely.
Shay smiled, "It should be ready soon."
"Can I help with anything?" Lindsay asked as she entered the kitchen behind Shay.
"Can you chop these tomatoes for the salad please?" Shay asked as she set them on the cutting board and went back to stirring.
"Of course." Lindsay replied as she began cutting and placing them into the bowl beside her.
"That was great." Lindsay said as she wiped her mouth and took a sip of wine.
Shay smiled, "I'm glad you liked it." Shay glanced up at the clock, "oh crap I was supposed to be at Molly's five minutes ago to help Cruz."
Lindsay smiled, "go I will clean up and meet you there."
Shay smiled as she got up and kissed Lindsay deeply before heading out the door.
Lindsay smiled as she headed in to Molly's and saw all the smiling faces of 51.
"There she is!" Herman greeted her with a smile as he handed her a beer and pushed her towards the bar.
Lindsay said a quick hello to everyone before she headed towards Shay. "Hey," she greeted her as she leaned across the counter and kissed her girlfriend.
Shay was quick to deepen it sliding her tongue into Lindsay's mouth and massing her tongue with her own.
"Hey now this is a pg. environment." Herman teased them.
Shay and Lindsay smiled as they pulled away.
"I have to go to inventory in the back for a bit, will you still be here?" Shay asked.
Lindsay smiled, "of course."
Shay kissed her once more before turning and heading towards the back.
Dawson set another beer down in front of Lindsay before sliding in next to her.
Lindsay gave her a smile, "thanks, so how are things with you and Casey?"
Dawson laughed, "things are great, we worked through are issues and everything is fine."
Lindsay took a sip of her beer, "that's great to hear. I'm glad."
Dawson smiled, "how are things with you?"
"Pretty good, work flow has been kind of slow but that is a good thing."
Dawson nodded as her and Lindsay continued to chat about work.
Shay finally reappered from the back room and smiled as she watched her best friend and girlfriend chatting excidelty at the end of the bar.
"What are you lovely ladies chatting about?" Shay asked as she handed them both another beer.
"Oh you know work and life." Dawson answered as she took a sip from the beer placed in front of her.
Lindsay smiled as Shay slide in next to her and wrapped her arms around her. She laid her head on her shoulder as they listened to Dawson recount a call they had went on.
They all shared a laugh before calling it a night.
