Chapter Ten- Can you Hear me Now?, Right Next Door, Personal Foul
"I'm not spraying that stuff any where." Danny said as he stood across the bed from Lindsay.
"What do you mean?" Lindsay asked, faking confusion.
"You know exactly what I mean." Danny said as a smirk broke out across her face.
"No, Danny, I have no idea what you're talking about." Lindsay said as she pulled the covers back on the bed and climbed in, pulling them over her.
"Montana, you're not funny." Danny said as he got in next to her.
"What is the problem Danny?" Lindsay asked as she laid on her side and looked down at him with a smirk.
"I'm not spraying that shit on my dick." Danny grumbled as reached up to kiss her.
"I didn't ask you to." Lindsay laughed.
"You put it in my coat pocket." Danny said.
"So?" Lindsay laughed as she played with his dog tags.
"So, you obviously wanted to use it." Danny said.
"No, I didn't, I don't want that stuff in me, any more than you want it on you." Lindsay laughed. "I just wanted to mess with you."
"Satisfied?" Danny laughed as he flipped her on her back and started tickling her.
"Danny, Dan, stop." She said as he continued tickling her. "I can't breathe." She laughed and he stopped, flipping on his back and taking her in his arms as she tried to get her breath back.
"Now say you're sorry." Danny requested.
"I'm sorry." Lindsay said very sarcastically as she wrapped her arms around his neck and brought him down for a kiss.
"I don't believe you." Danny laughed and kissed her again.
"I don't care." She mumbled against his lips.
~Right Next Door~
"We should talk." Danny said again as he caught Lindsay in the locker room.
"I know." Lindsay said as she put her jacket on, not bothering to turn and face him.
"So you wanna grab something to eat?" Danny asked as he rubbed the back of his neck.
"No." Lindsay said honestly as shut her locker before finally turning to look at him.
"What? You just said we should talk." Danny said confused.
"Yeah." Lindsay said. "I understand you're hurting over Ruben, but that doesn't give you the right to treat everyone like shit."
"I didn't-." he was cut off.
"Shut up, Danny. You did, you know you did." Lindsay said. "But I figured it out, when I said you were grieving alone, I realized I was wrong."
"Linds." Danny pleaded as she tried to walk by him, he gently grabbed her arm to stop her.
"No." Lindsay said and ripped her arm violently from his grasp. "I'm done Danny, go back to whoever you have."
"Lindsay." Danny pleaded.
"See you tomorrow." She said casually without looking back.
~Personal Foul~
"You got here fast." Flack said as he glanced up from the seats to see Lindsay.
"I was already here." Lindsay laughed and set her case down. "Thankfully my kit was in my car."
"What were you doing here?" Danny asked as he watched her kneel down to her kit.
"Watching the game." She said and Flack laughed earning a glare from Danny.
"With who?" Danny pressed.
"Can we work, please?" Lindsay asked as she started looking at the seats, and Danny and Flack shared a look.
~Other side of the two way mirror~
"You think she went to the game with another guy?" Danny asked as he watched Lindsay.
"Yup." Flack said as he watched all the other girls.
"Thanks." Danny grunted.
"What do you expect?" Flack laughed. "She broke up with you almost a month ago, and you dumped her practically 5 months ago."
"I didn't dump her." Danny argued.
"Might as well have." Flack said as he looked over at Danny and shook his head.
~Danny's Apartment~
"I didn't think you were coming." Danny said as he stepped aside to let his soaking wet ex into his apartment.
"I figured if I didn't, you would just keep telling me we needed to talk." Lindsay said as she looked at him, waiting for him to say something, but he just stared back at her. "Well?"
"Well what?" he asked confused.
"Danny, I'm tired and cranky, please don't play these games with me." She said as she shivered.
"You're gonna get sick." Danny said as he disappeared into his bathroom and returned with a towel.
"Thanks." Lindsay said as she dried her face and hair.
"No problem." He said as he took a tentative step closer to her and watched as she attempted to dry herself. "You can change into my sweats or somen, if you want."
"Sure." Lindsay said as she followed him into his bedroom and watched as he pulled her favorite pair of sweatpants and sweatshirt out for her to change into. "Thanks."
"No problem." He said and laughed softly. He smiled down at her and reached down to cup her cheek, daring a kiss, he slowly rubbed his lips over hers, waiting for her to respond.
She parted her lips slightly and nipped at his bottom lip and gave a slight moan as his tongue invaded her mouth. She didn't want to sleep with him, they needed to talk, not fuck. But when she felt his erection against her she gave in, knowing if she pulled away he would extremely embarrassed and that would prolong their talk even longer.
Her clothes lay in a sopping wet puddle by the door and his spread through out the bedroom. The only contact between them was their lowers halves and her hand on his arms that he was using to brace himself above her. His dogs tags scratched along her chest as her eyes focused on his chin. Sex with Danny had always and will always feel good, but it wasn't like it used to be, tonight there was no passion, no fire. She felt a drop of water fall on her cheek and figured it must be sweat coming off of him as he continued to move in and out of her.
"Lindsay." He said as he continued to look at her eyes. He felt like he was forcing her to be with him, she was laying there like a dead body, not even looking at him, her hand clenching and unclenching around his arm. "Please."
She knew what he meant and she flicked her eyes to meet his and shivered. They weren't Danny's eyes, they were a watery gray filled with misery and regret. Danny's eyes were a mischievous blue, that always sparkled. She sighed and wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him down so he was laying on top of her, his head buried in her neck.
"I'm so sorry." He whimpered as he moved and rested his forehead against hers and that's when she realized his tear had fallen on her cheek. "I can fix us." He said as he felt his climax approach.
"Just let go, Dan." She said and kissed him lightly as he thrusts became harder, shorter, and faster. He whimpered again as she felt his warm release fill her.
"I need you, Montana, so much." He cried into her neck as his breathing got heavier. "I miss you, us."
"I missed you too." She said softly as she stroked his hair, noting that even if she had to tie him down, he was getting it cut. "It's okay." She whispered as his breathing slowed.
"It's not." He mumbled as moved his face to look at her. "I need you Lindsay, in my life, I can't not be with you."
"I need you too, Danny." She said and kissed him gently as he rolled on his back taking her with him. "I love you." She said and kissed under his chin.
