Disclaimer: Sorry not a billionaire so I couldn't buy Danny and Lindsay, I did try but the deal fell through- so sorry- I have no claim to them or the show CSI:NY, not mine.

Chapter Four: Tonight is the Night

Lindsay was excited to be going out to such a trendy and expensive restaurant as Gothom City Bar and Grill. She rarely really "went out" because everything in the city was so expensive, but tonight she was determined to have an amazing time and forget all her worries.

She grabbed her keys and gave herself one more check in the mirror- she looked good and had no problem admitting it. Her hair was pulled up in a messy French twist, and her makeup was flawlessly, but not obviously done.

The deep emerald green dress fit her perfectly, ending just a few inches above the knee and showing off her figure without being too clingy or revealing. With a scoop neck that fell just below her collar bone and a back that mirrored the scoop in the front and ended below her shoulder blades, the dress was well worth the money she had paid.

She had bought the dress as a congratulatory present to herself when she had first moved to New York. Now looking in the mirror she believed she had a made a very wise investment. The black strappy heels and matching wrap added just the right air of New York sophistication to the outfit without being over he top.

As she locked her apartment and headed out into the waiting cab she couldn't help but wish for a minute that it was Danny she was going out with tonight. Danny, with his gorgeous eyes, beautiful smile and muscular body entered Lindsay's thoughts a lot. She couldn't help but wonder if she'd been wrong to tell him she wasn't ready for a relationship.

'Yes, there were things she needed to work out but was there any reason she couldn't have worked them out while maybe seeing Danny casually?' she thought. Yet even as she thought about it, she knew it wasn't right. She and Danny could never be just 'casual' together. She wasn't someone who believed in love at first sight but with Danny she felt she could maybe believe in love at second sight- - how else could she explain the powerfully surging emotions inside of herself whenever she looked at him?

She was pulled out of her mussing as the cab came to an abrupt stop in front of the Millenium Hilton, so she paid and tipped the driver and entered the lobby.

Lindsay spotted Grant immediately and had to laugh as she noticed several women openly staring at his movie star good looks. And in his grey trousers with his burgundy shirt and matching tie, she had to agree he looked fantastic.

Grant saw Lindsay approaching and let out a low whistle that made her blush.

"You look unbelievable Linds! I can't believe you haven't been swept up by some fancy New Yorker yet" Grant stated.

Lindsay laughed and a thought of Danny entered her mind, but she shrugged it off, "You look pretty unbelievable yourself Mr. Jamison! I think your giving some of these women heart palpitations!"

"I'm sure you're doing the same for the men, so what do you say we head to the restaurant and let this place return to regular room temperature" Grant proposed.

"Sounds good to me," Lindsay responded and took his arm as he led her out of the hotel. Tonight was the night she was going to have a wonderful New Yorker evening.

Danny was miserable. He was home, alone and couldn't stop thinking about Lindsay and GQ boy. 'Who was he, how'd she know him, did they used to date, did Lindsay still have feelings for him and was that the reason she told him that she couldn't be in a relationship right now….' he wondered.

To make matters worse all this non-stop questioning and answering to himself, and then changing his own answers, had given him a headache that could rival any hangover. He needed answers tonight, tonight had to be the night, or else he could and would go insane. And there was only one person who could give him those answers, and he knew just where to find her.
