As soon as Danny was out of sight Lindsay started to get dressed, already cursing herself for stopping what could have become the best night since she had arrived in New York, and all the time thinking about risking a glance around the corner, maybe catching a more complete impression of her favorite CSI. Again, it took all of her willpower to keep herself from doing so.
Once Lindsay was fully dressed and ready to go, she decided it would be easier to keep herself under control if she didn't see Danny walking around in a towel all the time, thus she left the locker room before he was finished with his shower.
Exiting the room she met a member of the cleaning staff, an elderly woman of Latin-American descent, who was about to start her work in the women's locker room. Already taking a breath to tell her that a man was showering in there, it struck her that this could be the chance for revenge. Maybe Danny wouldn't mind Lindsay seeing him in all his splendor, but a complete stranger appearing out of the blue might be different, that should teach him his little lesson. And the older lady would get to see something nice she wouldn't forget for a while.
The decent and well-bred girl she was, Lindsay stayed outside to wait for Danny's reaction, and soon enough she heard it. Loud Italian cursing was followed immediately by Spanish praising. As she didn't know too much of either of these languages, all Lindsay knew was that both were mentioning Christ, and both in different ways. She couldn't wait for Danny to come out and see her standing there, smiling from cheek to cheek.
"Learnt your lesson?" She asked when he finally stumbled his way out of the women's room.
"You're evil, Montana, you know that?"
"Sure, but don't you feel good for making an elder citizen very happy tonight?"
Danny wanted to change the topic, erase what just happened from his mind as fast as possible.
"So, are you up for a date then, now that we're even?"
He was again only dressed in his towel, Lindsay tried to concentrate and refrain from jumping Danny right here in the hallway. His eyes were too blue to not drown in them, so she stuck her view to his lovely little belly button.
"Maybe one day, when you're dressed and know how to ask a woman out like a gentleman, I might be willing to say yes."
"Alright, I can do that. I'll get dressed right away, but you sure you want me as a gentleman?"
She managed a nod and looked away, breathing out heavily as Danny finally left for the men's locker room. It was a real piece of work to look innocent and uninterested in him when he was so deliciously close. But this wasn't like she wanted the relationship between them to develop, she didn't want to start it off with sex and then see how it goes. She had already tried that with other guys, it never worked out well. She wanted it to work this time, she really wanted a deep and lasting relationship with Danny.
"Ready to go?" Danny came back from changing, but the clothes he wore now didn't change much about his effect on Lindsay. She was still struggling with her inner voices who told her to give in and walk home with him, skip the dating part and just have fun for the night. She won this time, but she wasn't sure for how long she could stand her ground against these wicked orders her body passed on to her brain.
A/N: Thanks to everyone who keeps reading this story! I'm sorry this chapter is kinda short - originally it was written as the ending of chapter 3, but then chapter 3 was longer than the first 2 chapters combined, so I decided to split it... hope you liked it anyways, the next one's gonna be longer, I promise ;)
