Chapter Four - It'd Be Worth It
Flack was pacing up and down the layout room where Lindsay and Danny were working. Lindsay kept looking up at Flack, each time Flack looked more and more anxious. Flack had been pacing the room for about twenty minutes before Danny slammed his work down causing Lindsay and Flack to look at up.
"Danny? What's up?"
Danny looked at Lindsay then to Flack.
"Flack…if you keep pacing I will personally make sure that you cant walk again!"
Flack stared at Danny and sighed.
"Sorry man, its just, its Jamie."
"Jay?"
Lindsay looked at Flack and smiled.
"You got it bad haven't you?"
Flack started to blush and avoided Lindsay's gaze. Lindsay started to laugh as did Danny, Flack shot Danny an evil look.
"I don't know why your laughing Messer, I seem to recall you walking into things whenever you got caught in thought about Lindsay."
Lindsay turned to look at Danny who was now the one hiding his blushing face. She turned back to Flack.
"Is that true? Did I really make you do that?"
Danny said nothing but saying nothing said it all. Lindsay laughed and smiled at Danny.
"I think that's amazing."
Danny smiled and turned back to Flack who had his head stuck out of the door looking up and down the corridor.
"Flack just keep your cool man, she'll come, she said she would and Jay sticks to her word."
Lindsay nodded in agreement.
"Trust me Don, she's coming."
As if by magic, Jamie popped her head in the door and smiled sweetly. Melting Flack's heart instantly.
"You came."
Were the only words that Flack could muster making both Lindsay and Danny smile, they were glad to see that they were getting on.
Jamie walked into the room and smiled again, but this time the smile was wider.
"I said I would didn't I?"
Flack nodded.
"So how is your case going Linds? Made any progress?"
Lindsay smiled and nodded.
"We've got the son of a bitch. Just need to go book him and then this one is wrapped up."
Jamie smiled at Lindsay and turned her attention towards Flack.
"Did you wanna go get a cup of coffee or something?"
Flack nodded.
"I think that's a great idea."
Both Flack and Jamie said goodbye to Lindsay and Danny and left for the break room. As soon as Jamie and Flack were out of sight Lindsay elbowed Danny in the side.
"Oww, what was that for Montana?"
Lindsay laughed.
"We don't do that anymore."
Danny was still rubbing his side, he looked at Lindsay confused.
"What do you mean? What don't we do?"
Lindsay rolled her eyes and walked towards the door.
"Typical man…figure it out, we're dating Danny, how about you take me on a DATE!"
With that Lindsay walked out of the lab and out of Danny's sight. Danny was wide eyed, he hadn't realised Lindsay wanted to be wined and dined, if he had known he would have tried.
After thinking a plan over in his head Danny picked up his cell and began making plans, if Lindsay wanted a date he would give her one, God knows he would do anything to make her happy.
…
Jamie was standing with her back against the countertop while Flack was pouring them both a cup of coffee.
"Milk? Sugar?"
Jamie laughed.
"Milk, no sugar, you?"
Flack smiled widely.
"You taken a mental note for future reference?"
"Might be…depends on how lucky you are!"
Both Jamie and Flack laughed, Flack handed Jamie her coffee and she accepted it graciously.
"Well?"
"Black, nothing added. I've learned to live on this stuff."
Jamie nodded.
"I had noticed."
Flack smiled as he and Jamie made their way to the stools in the break room. Once they were sat down the conversation began to flow like it had the night before.
After talking for about twenty minutes Flacks cell rang.
"Sorry about this."
Flack answered the call and did a lot of nodding and agreeing. Soon after he turned his attention back to Jamie.
"Sorry about this Jamie, I need to go, work is calling, can I call you tonight?"
Jamie smiled and nodded.
"Course you can, I will give you my number."
Jamie wrote her number on a napkin and handed it to Flack.
"Now go...I dont want you to get into trouble and its Jay, only my mom calls me Jamie!"
"Sorry, I'll call you later I promise and…it'd be worth it!"
With that he winked and left Jamie sitting in the break room, her heart was fluttering and she couldn't wait until his call. She had to find Lindsay.
