Once Danny had arrived back at his apartment, he flipped his cell phone open and called Stella.
"Hey Stella, did you give Montana a card this morning?" Danny asked, not giving her enough time to say 'Hello'. He had a feeling that it was Stella, but Danny being Danny just needed that extra bit of confirmation to seal the deal.
"Hello to you to, Messer!" Stella exclaimed. "Yes, I posted the card through her door first thing. Wait - how did you - "
Danny chuckled to him self. " Long story Stel. If it all goes well tonight then maybe I will fill you in. What time are we meeting tonight?"
"Ah, just make sure that you are there before 8.30PM." Stella replied. "Greg will be waiting at the bar for you and he will show you to the roof. "
"Say what? The roof? Why would he be taking me to the roof?" Danny exclaimed.
"Well, I told Greg it was going to be a special occasion ... so he said he had just the spot for you two to be alone. It is only ever reserved for... special people."
"Wow.. Stel, thanks... that's - I don't know what to say!" Danny replied. "I'll call you later."
Danny closed his cell phone, and shoved it back in to his jacket pocket. He flopped down on to his couch and layed with his hands behind his head. As he breathed in, he could still smell the faint Magnolia and Jasmine scent on his clothes from Lindsay's apartment. He thought ahead to the meal - Would Lindsay actually turn up? Or would she decline, knowing that the invitation could be from any weirdo living in New York?
Danny's mind started to race with the 'what if's, ' and the 'will she, won't she' questions. He couldn't take it much longer and shook his head, desperate to rid his forever expanding brain of those negative thoughts.
it was 7PM before Lindsay finally slipped under the hot bubbly water in her bath tub with a small glass of white wine. Her hair was set tightly in curl rods, and her nails had been lightly manicured with a natural varnish. She knew from working in the lab that the kind of crap they put into nail varnish these days was no good for you, so she decided to go for a plain, Cotton and Honey rejuvinating polish.
Not wanting to get herself too tipsy from drinkin her wine, she took one last slug from the glass and set it to the side next to the candles. She sank herself a fraction lower and closed her eyes, wishing for the time to move faster so she would finally be able to find out who the mystery guy is.
Lindsay thought back to the night before - She was pleasantly surprised by Danny's out of the blue appearance and even more surprised to find that she actually enjoyed herself. It was a side to Danny that she never thought she would see, and hoped it wouldnt be the last.
Just as she was recalling the goodnight part, the shrill sound of her cell phone echoed down the hallway, making her curse.
Danny wanted to get to 'Blue - Zen' early so he could have the chance to check on what ever Stella's plan was. He stepped out of the steamy shower and carefully shaved away the tiny shadow around his neck and jaw line. He splashed a good handful or 2 of water over his face to rid it of the shaving foam, and he began vigorously scrubbing his teeth. He spat into the sink, and gently swished around come coolmint mouthwash before spitting it away. He wiped his face with the towel and made his way into the bedroom to get dressed.
Danny hadn't even decided on what he was going to wear - after all, he didn't know what kind of a place Blue - Zen actually was. Was it a casual restaurant, or a posh nosh restaurant? He finally came to the conclusion that what ever seemed to jump out at him when those closet doors were opened, that would be his attire for the evening - posh or not.
He dropped the towel on to the floor and pulled on his boxers and one of his 'oh so favourite' white wife beaters before padding across the floor to the closet. When he opened the door he could see that he didnt really have any shirts that jumped out at him, or at least, ones that would be suitable for the evening. He chose his plain white button up shirt, and accompanied it with some black pin stripe trousers. And of course, how could he forget those boots?
"Plaine Jane it is for me!" he breathed as he took the shirt from the hanger and grabbed the trousers.
Within 10 minutes, Danny was dressed and on his way out of his apartment.
Lindsay let her voicemail get the call. She knew that if it was important they would soon call back - and besides, she was having too much fun reminiscing about the night before. 20 minutes went by after the phone call, and Lindsay decided it was about time she got out, or risk looking like a prune for her date.
She lightly applied her make up - just a touch of mascara and a light brush of bronzer on her cheeks and collar bone. She took out her curl rods and gently teased them into place, framing her face and accentuating her structure, before spraying lightly with some hairspray. Happy with the way her hair looked, she strode over to the the bed, and got dressed. First, slipping on her black Bra and thong set and then she gently pulled on her green satin dress over her head, careful not to disturb her curls. Straightening her dress down to her knees, she slipped her feet into her black open toe wrap around heels. Checking herself in her full length mirror, she sprayed her 'Hypnose' perfume, slicked her lips with clear lip gloss and grabbed her bag and cardigan just in time to hear the cab driver sound his horn outside.
