Nico's POV regarding his motives in asking Dani for help with Gabriele.

I told Dani that I never lie and while that is true, I never said that I didn't manipulate a situation to my benefit. And the benefit of having Doctor Santino in my

life far out ways anything I can think of. After TK was shot she came to her senses and dumped Donnally on his ass where he rightfully belongs. Matt Donnally

doesn't know how close he came to losing his life when I came over to inform her about TK, and looked up to see him coming from her bedroom down the stairs.

The shock on my face showed because she dropped her head in what could be described as either embarrassment or shame. I think in that moment I finally let

myself realize just how much I wanted Dr. Danielle Santino. I wanted her more than I ever wanted Gabriele. Hell I wanted her more than I have ever wanted any

other women in my life that I had ever met. It's almost scary how much she has come to mean to me. When she first started working for the Hawk's I wasn't so

sure about her but once I got to know her and see the results that she got with TK an every other person we sent her way I was sold. Sold on her as a doctor and

as a woman but still I held off because of work. But after her getting all of the male attention she was getting I had to stand up and do something. But it was

hard admitting I wanted something more with her after the Gabriele incident. Well to be honest I realized it when she was dating that idiot JD Aldridge but still

my refusal to admit it to myself which led to me accidently meeting them at my Tuesday night eatery. Once I pulled up at the restaurant and noticed his car I

could have left but I refused because I wanted to meet the man in person who had caught the good doctor's eye. And after JD was out of the picture then she

almost fell back into Donnally's arms which was the last straw. So when Gabriele came back into the picture with talks of us being together again and going after

the team to ensure that outcome, I realized that this was my chance to put my plan of having Dr. Santino in my life once and for all. Of course that requires

getting her to agree to help me with the Gabriele situation, knowing just how stubborn she can be, I know I had to come up with something good. When I went

to her house I had a plan of action on how to convince her to go along with my plan and how disastrous Gabriele could be to the team and what could happen if

we didn't stop her but what I didn't expect was the kiss that made me lose control. I can't believe that I kissed her and how explosive it turned out to be. It was

everything I dreamed of and more. I went over with the intention of getting her to agree with helping me with the Gabriele situation and if not for the phone

ringing I would have taken her right there on the counter in her kitchen without any objections from the good doctor I might add. But the bottom line is I want

Dani. I want her in my bed. I want her period and I plan on doing everything in my considerable powers to make sure that happens. After all, I always get what I

want. And I want Dr. Danielle Santino!

Dani's POV

After Nico left I just stood there in stunned silence and disbelief, I mean where the hell did that come from and how the hell did we go from a situation to me

dating Nico. Even if it was only pretend dating to get rid of Gabriele I still don't know how the hell that happened. But I also know that the kiss that we shared

was so unbelievably hot I think I might need a cold shower. I mean I have always thought that Nico was an attractively handsome, totally hot guy, but never

thought to act on it until he kissed me. His kisses were nothing like the ones I received from Ray, Matt, and even JD. I felt his kisses all the way to the tips of my

toes and then some. OMG what I am thinking, I can't really be standing here thinking of the extremely hot kisses between Nico and I. I mean okay so he kissed

me to prove that we have chemistry in order to pull off a ruse of us dating, but still I am so damn confused. This is Nico for heaven's sake. Extremely paranoid

Nico. Extremely secretive Nico. Extremely fucking hot Nico Careless whom I haven't stopped thinking about since those damn kisses. Arggg I am so confused I

don't know what to do but what I do know is that there is no way I am going to go along with this asinine scheme of his and I will let him know first thing

tomorrow morning. And until then I am just going to head up and take an extremely cold shower and maybe that will help cool me down.

I just wanted to give show where they are at so the two POV'S from them I think was necessary. I think I know where I am going or I had better since I have about five chapters of this so far. LOL!
