1 Mac's Point of View:
I walked into the trace lab hoping to find Lindsay and get the results from the case I was working on. I saw her talking on the phone and was just about to say something when she said, "Oh wow Stell. I'll do that. See ya later." I knocked on the door to get her attention and she jumped around, mumbled something else and hung up the phone.
"Hey Lindsay do you have the trace results from my case yet?"
"Yeah Mac, they are right here." she said handing me the printout. She smiled up at me and it looked like her eyes were glistening. I saw this and was about to say something when my phone rang. Lindsay laughed and said, "Lemme guess its Stella." I looked at the display and indeed it was.
I answered and said, "Hey babe. Can you hold on a sec." She agreed and I covered the phone with my hand before asking Lindsay, "Yea, how did you know."
She grinned and gave me a knowing look before saying, "I just talked to her. And she told me to tell you to be expecting her call, but I didn't get the chance just yet." I started to put the phone back to my ear but her voice stopped me. "Mac." I looked up and Lindsay had a bit of a glint in her eye.
"Yea Linds."
"If I were you, I would hightail your ass down to your office right now." and with that she ran out of the trace lab leaving me more confused than ever.
I put the phone back to my ear, wondering what on earth Lindsay was talking about. Hawkes walked in with Danny and I finally spoke into the phone.
"Hey Stell. Sorry, I was just talking with Lindsay, something is going on with her." at the mention of Lindsay name Danny's head snapped up and when I said something was going on with her he was outta there faster than I could blink.
Stella laughed and said, "Did it have anything to do with taking this call in your office."
"Umm...yeah actually it did. What is that about anyways."
"Mac. She was right. You are gonna want to be in your office. Alone."
Her voice suddenly had a different tone and it had the hairs on the back of my neck standing up when she said, "Alone." I hastily said goodbye to Hawkes who was looking at me funny and rushed out of the trace lab into my office.
"Ok, Stell I'm alone. In my office. What is it."
"I wanted to ask if it would be ok to let Lindsay off at 5."
"Umm...since Hawkes is leaving to take you to the appointment, and I don't know what time that
will be done I can't let her leave until Sheldon gets back at least. Wait, why are you asking me instead of Lindsay and why does she need off anyways?"
"Well, since you are being completely amazing and taking me out to dinner at a fancy resturant the least I can do is look stunning. So I need her to help me get ready, seeing as I have a minor setback."
"Stell, you could go in jeans and still look stunning. But sure as soon as Sheldon gets back from taking you she can leave."
"Thanks Mac. But I'm not going in jeans. I'm going in a new dress. Wanna know what it looks like?" her voice taking on a sultry edge.
"Uh huh." I swallowed hard. So this is why I needed to be in my office alone.
"Well, let's see. It's a deep burgundy, like wine. It's got a deep v neck line and halter straps. Which means, no back what so ever. It comes down to my knees with a slit on one side that goes all the way up to the top of my thigh. The material is satin and it clings to my body like nobody's business. I also have new shoes that match it and damn if I don't look good in that dress. So I'll call you later love you bye."
Damn! It was at least 5 minutes until my brain caught up and realized that she had hung up. Lindsay, Danny and Hawkes rushed into my office all at once and Lindsay burst out laughing at the expression on my face. Danny and Hawkes both looked at Lindsay which gave me the chance to compose myself.
Lindsay finally stopped laughing and said, "She tell you about the dress Mac?" I nodded sheepishly, turning a bright shade of red which caused Lindsay to be overcome with another fit of giggles. I shook my head at Hawkes and Danny's confused faces before clearing my throat and speaking.
"Hawkes, shouldn't you be going to get Stell. Oh and Lindsay when Hawkes gets back you are free to go." Danny looked at his wife with a questioning glance and Hawkes spoke up, "Yeah, I was just getting ready to leave. I'll see you guys later."
Danny looked from me to Lindsay and spoke up, "Mac, are you a'right? Cuz you look like you swallowed a bug or somethin. And Montana what are laughing at?" Lindsay straightened up and her breathing started to return to normal. "Well, umm...I just talked to Stella and I'm going to meet her at Mac's apartment after Hawkes gets back."
"Why are you going over there?" Danny asked looking from me to Lindsay with a confused look on his face. I decided to answer this question to save Lindsay from another fit of giggles or worse. "I'm taking Stella out to Dinoysus tonight and Lindsay is going over to help Stell get ready. As soon as Hawkes gets back from going to the doctor's with her, she is free to go."
Danny grinned and replied with a slight smirk on his face, "Damn Mac! That place is expensive. But I hear the wine is off the hook. So, Stella tell you about the dress she wearing tonight? What's it look like?"
Lindsay responded with a playful slap on Danny's shoulders and gave him a look that said, mind your own damn business, besides you are married to me. Danny turned red and hastily said goodbye. I laughed at Danny's retreat and turned to Lindsay again, "Lindsay will you go finish up those trace results please."
"Yea sure Mac. Oh, and tonight, you won't know what hit you." Lindsay flashed me a huge grin and sauntered out of my office.
