Chapter Seven - Clean Up

Danny had been awake for at least an hour before his alarm sounded. He had his hands behind his head as he stared at the ceiling, silently thanking God for Lindsay's chocolate spread idea.

"What are you thinking about?"

He turned to see Lindsay looking at him fondly.

"Nothing in particular, just you know general things."

"Sure you are, you were thanking God about my chocolate spread idea."

Danny laughed and wrapped his arms around Lindsay as she snuggled in close to his chest.

"Its scary how you do that you know, I don't think I will ever be able to keep a secret from you."

Lindsay lifted her head so that she was looking at Danny again.

"And I consider that a good thing Messer, so you know, keep that in mind!"

Danny nodded.

"Yes ma'am."

"Don't call me that, you have no idea how old that makes me feel. People call my mom ma'am!"

Danny laughed which earnt him a smack on the chest.

"Ow Montana that hurt!"

Lindsay looked up and smiled mischievously.

"It was supposed to Messer! Or can I call you my chocolate bunny?"

Danny looked at Lindsay with wide eyes.

"You wouldn't, do you know the kind of stick I would get!"

Lindsay rolled her eyes.

"Oh I think I have a fair idea Danny, I have had to put up with your name calling for the majority of my time here!"

"Yeah but you love it really, you told me so, you kinda get a sad look on your face if I call you Lindsay."

Lindsay sighed and rested her head on Danny's chest again, she took comfort in hearing his heartbeat, and the feel of his chest hairs on her face always reminded her of his manliness.

"Don't worry Danny, I wouldn't do that to you, and your right about something, I do like it when you call me Montana do you know why?"

Danny shook his head.

"No why?"

Lindsay looked up a Danny and smiled, meeting his crystal blue eyes in a love filled stare.

"Because I know that I am the only one you call that, makes me feel special."

Danny met her smile and brushed his lips with hers and brought her into a passionate and loving kiss. Danny hands started to wander when Lindsay smacked them away.

"Ah ah Danny, if you go any further I will have those hands of yours surgically removed, if I do anymore today I think I might lose the ability to walk, you get me?"

Danny laughed and nodded, he rolled out of bed and grabbed his boxers from the floor and walked to the doorway, Lindsay spread out in his bed and stretched, Danny looked back from the door frame and smiled.

"Make yourself comfortable by all means Montana."

Lindsay propped herself on her elbows, she tilted her head and poked out her tongue.

"I intend to cowboy, you making coffee by any chance?"

Danny smiled and laughed to himself.

"Yes, yes I am, and before you ask, milk one sugar, I got it covered!"

Lindsay smiled as she looked at Danny walk to the kitchen. She called after him.

"Thanks cowboy!"

She could her Danny laugh from the kitchen. She looked around Danny's room and could see the extent of the damage they had caused, she looked at the sheets and saw that some of the chocolate spread found itself on them, she just laughed, it just looked dodgey in her mind. It reminded her of something else.

She stretched again and crawled out of bed, she grabbed Danny's shirt the same shirt that she had been wearing when she made her midnight snack after she threw it on she followed in Danny's footsteps to the kitchen.

Lindsay got to the kitchen doorframe and was welcomed in by the site of Danny crouching on the floor cleaning up the jar of chocolate spread that had been spilt the night before.

"You know instead of staring at me you could help you know?"

Lindsay just nodded as Danny turned and smiled at her. She made no effort to move .

"I would help but I like the view far to much!"

Lindsay smiled cheekily and it earned a chuckle from Danny, when he had finished cleaning up he poured the coffee and handed a cup to Lindsay and ushered her to the sofa. They both sat down Lindsay was curled up next to Danny, she had her back against his side, Danny had one hand draped across her shoulder. Danny had turned the television on and was watching the news Lindsay was staring into space, she liked this, it was all becoming familiar and she liked that, she liked feeling safe.

Danny noticed that Lindsay had become lost in thought, he kissed the top of her head, smiled and turned his attention back to the news.

"Danny?"

"Yeah."

"Did you think we would end up like this?"

"What do you mean?"

Lindsay sat up and placed her cup on the coffee table in front of her, she turned so that she was facing Danny, she brought her legs up so that she was sitting cross legged on the sofa. Danny copied her position.

"I mean, when I moved her from Montana the last thing I thought I would do was fall for a colleague let alone you. Yeah I will admit when I first saw you I thought you were cute, but then the whole 'Sir' thing happened and I didn't see myself being here with you, the way I am now."

Danny nodded, he knew how she felt he never thought a city boy like himself would find himself falling for a country girl like her.

"You know Montana, I can relate to that, I didn't think I would be here either, but I am here and I want to stay this way. I don't want to lose you Lindsay."

From that moment Lindsay knew he was serious, whenever Danny called her Lindsay she knew that he meant it, she knew that when he called her Montana but she knew that when he called her Lindsay that he wanted her to know he was serious.

"I don't want to lose you either Danny, trust me when I say I'm not going anywhere."

Lindsay leaned in close and kissed Danny, he responded and deepened the kiss they were there for a good few minutes when the need for air tore them apart.

Danny went to take things further when the oh so familiar sound of Danny's pager started buzzing. Danny lent his forehead against Lindsay's and smiled.

"You know who that's going to be don't you?"

Lindsay matched his smile.

"Yeah, so you better not keep him waiting, he would never forgive you!"

Danny lent down and kissed Lindsay on the lips and made his way to his pager. He then proceeded to call Mac on his house phone. Lindsay had made her way back to Danny's room, she had to admit she was disappointed that Mac had called Danny in, but that was a perk of the job. She sat on the end of Danny's bed with her hands in her lap. With a slightly lost look on her face, after Danny had finished his phone call with Mac, he walked into his bedroom slowly looking concerned at Lindsay.

"Montana? You ok?"

Danny crouched down in front of Lindsay and placed his hands on her legs to steady himself.

"I'm fine, just a little disappointed that you have to go in."

"I am to, but I promise I wont be long, a couple hours at least, I promise to call you every hour I am there."

Lindsay smiled and looked at Danny.

"You don't have to do that, I'm fine, really I am, I have to do some errands and things today anyway, so go before Mac gets mad, I'll pop by if you wanted?"

Danny smiled and kissed Lindsay

"Sounds like a plan, I will be waiting for you Linds."
