New Year's Eve

Danny walked through the West Wing into the outer office of the Chief of Staff. "Hey, there Margaret. She in?"

"Hi. Erm, yes she's in there alone but she said not to be disturbed." Margaret looked unsure what to do. She knew about them of course, not that she had been told, but she had this freakish ability to just know stuff.

Danny saw the look on Margaret's face, but just ploughed on through. "I'm sure it'll be fine, CJ knew I was going to be now." He knocked on the door, then stuck his head through.

"Will you shut the door!" CJ shrieked at him from across the room. She was stood with her back to the door, half in her closet and half naked.

Danny quickly shut the door behind him. "Hey." He greeted her with a grin. "Whatcha' doin'?"

"Thinking about the many ways I could torture you. What does it look like?"

"I don't know, but I do know it looks pretty good."

"I'm getting changed for the party, this was the first chance I got."

"Do you usually get changed in here?"

"Yeah, why?"

"No reason, just enjoying being in my head right now. You need a hand?" He had noticed CJ struggling with the zip at the back of her dress.

"No, I'm fully capable of dressing myself."

"Okay, then." Danny watched her carry on with her struggle.

"Fine."

"Fine, what?"

She looked at him with that stare that both kind of scared him and turned him on. "Can you just help me.....please."

He moved toward her, standing behind her, but instead of doing up the zip he moved his hands around her waist and whispered in her ear, "On one condition."

She slightly turned her head towards him and placed her hand over his. "What's that?"

"I get to unzip it later."

"I think we can arrange that." She turned around in his arms and kissed him. She would have been happy to stay there like that, but they needed to go to this party. "Okay, I need to finish getting ready." She turned back round to allow him to complete his task.

As he did, there was a knock at the oval office door and the President walked in. "Oh, hello."

"Mr. President. How are you, Sir?" Danny reached forward to shake hands with the older man. CJ just stood there relieved that he hadn't come in a minute earlier.

"I'm very well, thank you, Danny. I hear you're joining my Chief of Staff tonight."

"Yes, Sir. I do have that honour."

"Is there something you need, Sir?" CJ asked, hoping to move the awkwardness along.

"Actually, I was just looking for my wife. I seem to have misplaced her."

"Jed? I'm right here." Abby Bartlet walked into the room behind her husband. "Hello, Danny."

"Dr. Bartlet" Danny shook her hand.

"CJ, don't you look lovely. That's a nice dress." Mrs. Bartlet smiled at CJ in a suitably suggestive way, making CJ blush just a little.

"Well, now we're all here, why don't we head on over to the party. We have a new year to start." The President took his wife's hand and lead the way.

CJ and Danny shared a look then followed the Bartlets out the door. This was going to be an interesting night.

Hmm, not sure about this one, but I shall try and write another part to follow.
