I'm attaching my schedule for this week. As you can see, I'm in surgery most of Wednesday and all morning on Friday. It doesn't look like I have any appointments during the last hour on Thursday. I'm considering leaving that block open and heading home early. I just thought you might find this information useful. :o)

Your schedule. Sorry.

I have appointments until late on Thursday. I'll have Betsy start rescheduling. What do you say? 4:00? We can go out, anywhere you want. We can even wait until 8:00 so you don't feel old. Or I can bring takeout. And then we can make out. ;)

It still counts as a date if I bring Chinese food, right?

You can come by only if you bring those chicken tenders from the hospital cafeteria! I've been thinking about them all morning...between thoughts of you, of course. I promise I thought of you more than chicken.

But still, bring the chicken. If you do, I'll wear that lip gloss you like. :-)

We got sick around the same time and you were
worse off than me. How were you discharged from
the hospital before me? You're coming back, right?

We barely made it through chapter 2 of BJD!

To: Dan
March 29, 4:22 p.m.

I'm on my way.
You're not supposed to have it, but do you want me
to sneak you ice cream?

To: My Girl
March 29, 4:24 p.m.

Did you change your name in my phone again?
You know I don't know how to change it back.

To: My Girl
March 29, 4:24 p.m.

On second thought I don't mind the change.
It's accurate.

To: My Girl
March 29, 4:29 p.m.

Damn right, it's accurate. :-) Yes, ice cream would
be amazing. Neapolitan. I promise not to eat only the
strawberry this time. Get here soon. I already miss
you.

Thought you might need a little encouragement, so I outlined a few date options. Each itinerary includes five mini-dates that can technically happen in a single day. Also, I've circled all of my favorite items in the Spring Frederick's of Hollywood catalog …about $2000 worth. I've included my exact measurements, for your convenience.

(Letter attached to box left at Mindy's door)

Min,

I got everything on your list and then some. Your math is a little screwy, though. It still doesn't add up to $2,000.00. But this plus four dinners, plus at least a hundred dollars on Ben & Jerry's in the last two weeks has got to get me over the two grand mark.

Have dinner with me tomorrow night. And then surprise me with anything found within this box.

Danny

P. S. Thank you for last night. You know, for the thing on my couch. I did not realize that didn't count or I would have asked for it sooner.

Okay, if this whole "dating in the shadows" thing is going to be even remotely sexy, you HAVE to become a better liar. Announcing to the office that I have managed to put a woman in a coma not only makes me look incompetent (which isn't all that credible to begin with, but still), but kind of brings down the mood, no matter how unbelievable of a kisser you are.

To make things way easier, please refer to the below list of pre-approved lies going forward:

*You need assistance with a file (a classic, easily accessible)
*You've decided to finally seek help for your feet.
*To review the office's catalog of black-listed delis/lunch spots.
*You've started watching Scandal and need some additional clarification (for longer make-outs. It can literally take up to two hours to go over certain show-related conspiracy theories).
*You're having a mid-life crisis.
*The View would like me to participate in a round table about fashion in the work place.
*You felt like reminiscing about the rotary phone.
*You're finally going to explain to me the difference between reptiles and amphibians.
*You've figured out a way to get Health Department to shut down the Holistic Center or to frame the Deslauriers for money laundering.

DO NOT GO OFF BOOK. If you're suddenly struck with inspiration and feeling creative, please consult me first. Your improvisational rights are officially revoked.

Your only saving grace right now is that insanely hot thing you did with my earlobe. In some arenas you are a damn genius.

We'll talk more about this tonight when you come over…because you're definitely coming over.

Re: RE: (No subject)

Again, I'm sorry about the coma thing. I think everyone believed me when I said it was a prank. I won't go off book, though. You are clearly very good at this.

* You told me you thought my feet weren't that bad. Are they? Were you lying to be nice?

* I've tried watching that show. You know firsthand it will take longer than two hours to try and explain it to me. It doesn't seem very believable.

* Do you think we should call the Health Department on the Deslauriers? I don't feel like that rock thing they do can be very sanitary.

You liked the thing I did with your earlobe? Now apply that same principle in other areas... Counting the minutes until tonight.

You looked so peaceful this morning. See:

... image downloading ...

To: My Girl
April 20, 6:22 a.m.

I didn't want to wake you. If you wake up and see this
before I get back, my delivery should only take a couple
hours. Stay. I'll bring breakfast back with me.

To: My Girl
April 20, 6:22 a.m.

Taking stalkery pictures of me sleeping now? Who do
you think you are? Me? :-)

To: Dan
April 20, 7:17 a.m.

If you're getting breakfast, don't get coffee. I bought a bag
of that dark Italian roast you like and hid it in your pantry
days ago. I'll make you a special pot.

To: Dan
April 20, 7:18 a.m.

And no pancakes. Now that I've had your pancakes, I
don't really have a taste for anyone else's. Can't wait
for you to get back, handsome. :-)

To: Dan
April 20, 7:20 a.m.


I swear Jeremy calls these meetings just to hold
court for a little while. Ugh.

To: Dan
April 22, 8:11 a.m.

So, Castellano... whaddya got going on under
those slacks of yours? ;-)

To: Dan
April 22, 8:11 a.m.

You know what I'm wearing. You threw out all my
briefs.

To: My Girl
April 22, 8:12 a.m.

...Seriously? I really have to draw you a picture?
Danny ;-) what's ;-) going ;-) on ;-) under ;-) those ;-)
slacks? ;-)

To: Dan
April 22, 8:12 a.m.

Oh. Okay. I've got a lot going on under these slacks.
I'd love to show you.

To: My Girl
April 22, 8:13 a.m.

A lot, you say? Sounds like fun...

To: Dan
April 22, 8:13 a.m.

I'm wearing the pink high heels you like so much. Did you
notice?

To: Dan
April 22, 8:13 a.m.

Did I notice? If Jeremy hadn't interrupted I was about
to pull you into the hot pipe room and share my
appreciation with you.

To: My Girl
April 22, 8:14 a.m.

And apparently you have "a lot" of appreciation to share!
Color me intrigued.

To: Dan
April 22, 8:15 a.m.

Wanna guess the color of my panties?

To: Dan
April 22, 8:15 a.m.

Are they the blue ones? With the tiny pink bow? Please
say they're the blue ones.

To: My Girl
April 22, 8:16 a.m.

Actually, it was a trick question... I'm not wearing any. ;-)

To: Dan
April 22, 8:16 a.m.

Are you serious?

To: My Girl
April 22, 8:16 a.m.

...Okay, not really. But that was HOT, right?!

To: Dan
April 22, 8:17 a.m.

I'm not sure I believe you now. But I'm going to
pretend I do so I don't embarrass us both trying
to find out.

To: My Girl
April 22, 8:17 a.m.

Yes. That was hot.

To: My Girl
April 22, 8:18 a.m.

I guess I could always sneak into the bathroom and
"accidentally" lose them... if you asked nicely.

To: Dan
April 22, 8:18 a.m.

Would you?

To: My Girl
April 22, 8:18 a.m.

I'm not asking you to. Just seeing if you're being
serious right now.

To: My Girl
April 22, 8:19 a.m.

I mean, I *would* if I wasn't, like, about to go into surgery
or into an appointment. I would NOT if the AC went down
like it did last week.

To: Dan
April 22, 8:20 a.m.

Because I would not be nearly as appealing with a sweaty
crotch.

To: Dan
April 22, 8:20 a.m.

You're killing the mood here. Don't say sweaty crotch.

To: My Girl
April 22, 8:21 a.m.

Hypothetically. Would it be possible to take them off sitting
down?

To: My Girl
April 22, 8:21 a.m.

Say, while you were in a meeting?

To: My Girl
April 22, 8:21 a.m.

Oh, you couldn't possibly be talking about *this* meeting, Daniel.

To: Dan
April 22, 8:22 a.m.

Of course not! That would be extremely inappropriate.

To: My Girl
April 22, 8:23 a.m.

For the record, could you though?

To: My Girl
April 22, 8:23 a.m.

Hmmm... Hypothetically, if I were sitting closer to the back and
Morgan wasn't weirdly staring at me... then maybe. :-)

To: Dan
April 22, 8:24 a.m.

Care to work out this theory later?

To: My Girl
April 22, 8:24 a.m.

And do I need to kick Morgan's ass?

To: My Girl
April 22, 8:25 a.m.

I'll think about it, and no, don't be crazy. I think he's trying
to avoid staring at Tamra.

To: Dan
April 22, 8:25 a.m.

...Okay, admittedly, the imagery of you beating up a guy for
me is pretty sexy, even if he is a dear friend of ours.

To: Dan
April 22, 8:25 a.m.

You like that?

To: My Girl
April 22, 8:26 a.m.

Because I can find somebody we don't like to punch. If
you think it's sexy.

To: My Girl
April 22, 8:26 a.m.

Can we pay a visit to the Deslauriers' after lunch? That might
inspire me to visit the bathroom then . :-P

To: Dan
April 22, 8:26 a.m.

Be careful. When you say things like that it makes me want
to do things like drag you back to my apartment and clock
Brendan on our way out.

To: My Girl
April 22, 8:27 a.m.

Who says we'd make it all the way to your apartment? I know of
at least four secret rooms between the Holistic Center and the
exit.

To: Dan
April 22, 8:28 a.m.

Can we go now? Would anyone notice? I haven't heard a
single thing Jeremy said after you brought up your panties.

To: My Girl
April 22, 8:28 a.m.

Danny Castellano, not paying attention during a crucial meeting
regarding updated records request policies? How unprofessional
of you! :-D

To: Dan
April 22, 8:29 a.m.

Is that what this is about? That doesn't have anything to do
with us. I think you're right. Jeremy just wants to hear himself
talk.

To: My Girl
April 22, 8:29 a.m.

What's unprofessional is me telling you how sexy you look right
now.

To: My Girl
April 22, 8:30 a.m.

The way your cheeks are flushed and you're trying to be sly
checking your phone.

To: My Girl
April 22, 8:30 a.m.

Don't think I didn't notice you recrossing your legs.

To: My Girl
April 22, 8:30 a.m.

You noticed nothing, you pouty-lipped devil.

To: Dan
April 22, 8:31 a.m.

Don't think I didn't hear that tiny growl under your breath just then.

To: Dan
April 22, 8:32 a.m.

Or the flick of your tongue across your bottom lip.

To: Dan
April 22, 8:32 a.m.

You're not nearly as covert as you think.

To: Dan
April 22, 8:32 a.m.

You're touching your neck.

To: My Girl
April 22, 8:33 a.m.

Look at me.

To: My Girl
April 22, 8:33 a.m.

Oh, you fucker.

To: Dan
April 22, 8:33 a.m.

Don't do that.

To: Dan
April 22, 8:34 a.m.

Are you scared?

To: My Girl
April 22, 8:34 a.m.

Look at me, Mindy.

To: My Girl
April 22, 8:34 a.m.

Don't smolder.

To: Dan
April 22, 8:35 a.m.

What? This is how my face looks.

To: My Girl
April 22, 8:35 a.m.

Stop pretending to be interested in what he's talking about.

To: My Girl
April 22, 8:36 a.m.

I know you're not taking notes.

To: My Girl
April 22, 8:36 a.m.

You don't know that.

To: Dan
April 22, 8:37 a.m.

What are you writing? ML/DC with a heart around it?

To: My Girl
April 22, 8:37 a.m.

STOP IT with your face already.

To: Dan
April 22, 8:37 a.m.

No matter what you say, there is NO SUCH THING as
"Resting Smolder Face."

To: Dan
April 22, 8:38 a.m.

It isn't intentional smolder.

To: My Girl
April 22, 8:38 a.m.

I want you is all.

To: My Girl
April 22, 8:38 a.m.

It's not so easy to hide, apparently.

To: My Girl
April 22, 8:39 a.m.

I want you, too. Clearly. God, help me.

To: Dan
April 22, 8:39 a.m.

You can have me. However you want me.

To: My Girl
April 22, 8:40 a.m.

Will you come home with me? I know you said you're
out of clothes, but you can do laundry at my place.

To: My Girl
April 22, 8:41 a.m.

Or go without.

To: My Girl
April 22, 8:41 a.m.

Again? This would be the third night in a row. Don't you need
some space?

To: Dan
April 22, 8:42 a.m.

Is it too much? Do you need space?

To: My Girl
April 22, 8:42 a.m.

Never.

To: Dan
April 22, 8:42 a.m.

Then come over. I want you to. It's why I'm asking.

To: My Girl
April 22, 8:42 a.m.

Okay, I will. I want to.

To: Dan
April 22, 8:43 a.m.

I really want to kiss you right now.

To: My Girl
April 22, 8:44 a.m.

You're killing me, Danny.

To: Dan
April 22, 8:44 a.m.

I'm sorry.

To: My Girl
April 22, 8:44 a.m.

No, I'm not.

To: My Girl
April 22, 8:45 a.m.

I know you're not.

To: Dan
April 22, 8:45 a.m.

I'm not sorry. You're killing me, too.

To: My Girl
April 22, 8:45 a.m.

You're beautiful.

To: My Girl
April 22, 8:45 a.m.

And so fucking sexy.

To: My Girl
April 22, 8:46 a.m.

Alright, Castellano. You think I'm killing you now? Wait
until tonight.

To: Dan
April 22, 8:46 a.m.

Okay. Now I'm a little sorry. You squeaked.

To: My Girl
April 22, 8:47 a.m.

One word: blindfold.

To: Dan
April 22, 8:47 a.m.

Jeez, Min.

To: My Girl
April 22, 8:47 a.m.

You started it.

To: Dan
April 22, 8:48 a.m.

Wait, I may have started it.

To: Dan
April 22, 8:48 a.m.

You did start it.

To: My Girl
April 22, 8:48 a.m.

And I will finish it.

To: My Girl
April 22, 8:49 a.m.

I wish I could finish it right now. But I can wait.

To: My Girl
April 22, 8:49 a.m.

...There's always lunch.

To: Dan
April 22, 8:50 a.m.

I'm not that hungry anyway.

To: My Girl
April 22, 8:50 a.m.

Do you really want to blindfold me?

To: My Girl
April 22, 8:51 a.m.

You'll like it, you'll see.

To: Dan
April 22, 8:51 a.m.

I don't doubt that I will.

To: My Girl
April 22, 8:51 a.m.

Will you wear those panties I bought you that can
tie up your wrists?

To: My Girl
April 22, 8:52 a.m.

No, I have plans for those. The peek-a-boo corset, on the
other hand...

To: Dan
April 22, 8:52 a.m.

SHIT, DID YOU JUST MOAN?!

To: Dan
April 22, 8:52 a.m.

Shit. I did. Do you think anyone heard?

To: My Girl
April 22, 8:53 a.m.

PETER HEARD YOU FOR SURE.

To: Dan
April 22, 8:53 a.m.

Put your phone away.

To: My Girl
April 22, 8:53 a.m.

And stop laughing.

To: My Girl
April 22, 8:54 a.m.

Don't tell me what to do!

To: Dan
April 22, 8:54 a.m.

For God's sake, Mindy. Be quiet.

To: My Girl
April 22, 8:54 a.m.

You're going to get us in trouble.

To: My Girl
April 22, 8:55 a.m.

*You'll* be the one in trouble tonight ;-)

To: Dan
April 22, 8:55 a.m.

It's totally worth it.

To: My Girl
April 22, 8:56 a.m.


Hey. Sorry about this party.

To: My Girl
April 25, 7:15 p.m.

But to make it up to you, I wore a tie!

To: My Girl
April 25, 7:15 p.m.

... Image Downloading ...

To: My Girl
April 25, 7:15 p.m.

You are such a dork. An irresistible dork, but a dork
nonetheless. You'll just have to make it up to me
afterwards. You're giving me a foot massage and I'm
kicking Morgan out of the apartment for the night.

To: Dan
April 25, 7:16 p.m.

I want you all to myself tonight. And I intend to get what
I want!

To: Dan
April 25, 7:18 p.m.

For the record: I want you to myself every night.
You're MY dork, you dork. :-*
