I own nothing! Only Danny, Flack and Hawkes in my dreams!

She stared at the image the mirror was returning. A slightly overweight, 5'6" brown eyed girl, wearing a black top and a pair of jeans. Her glasses were left forgotten in the nightstand table. Her straight hair, always tied in a pony tail, was resting now over her shoulders and back. She tried to look beautiful and at the same time don't look too dressed up. She groaned loudly and Bug barked. She turned around to look at him.
"What do you think buddy?" She asked modeling.
Bug barked and she couldn't do anything else than smile. "Ok, Bug, I'll interpret that as a 'You look great, JJ'." she said imitating a male voice. Then the apartment door opened and soon Danny was welcomed by Bug.
"Hey Buggie! How ya doin' man?" Danny kneeled down on the floor and caressed the dog. "I missed you too man, I missed you and your stubborn owner." He stood up again and walked to the kitchen with the dog following him happily. "Are you hungry buddy? Because I'm starving!"
JJ observed the moment leaning on the doorframe of her bedroom smiling widely. She walked to the kitchen with them.
"Hey JJ, do you want something to eat?" Danny asked while he grabbed a beer and some leftovers from the fridge.
"Nope, thanks. I'm going to Flack's tonight and we'll probably order something." She replied.
"Oh..." Danny said quite disappointed.
"I know this visit was supposed to be me and you catching up and I think that this is the first time we've been alone since I arrived...I can call Flack and tell him that I'm not going and stay here with you..."
"No, no..." He interrupted her. "Don't worry." He smiled. "Bug and I will watch the game and relax. You go and have fun with him. We can talk another day, now that you are staying here and we're going to be roomies, we'll have plenty of time for that!" Danny said.
"You sure about that?" He nodded and she continued, "I will begin to look for an apartment tomorrow, I don't want to bother you anymore."
"You don't bother me, JJ. You can stay here as long as you want."
"This building doesn't allow dogs, I don't want to cause you any problems… and I want to live alone for a while."
"Ok, ok… I have tomorrow afternoon off, we can go apartment hunting if you want?" Danny suggested.
"That sounds great! I don't begin at the lab until Monday so I still have 3 days off" JJ looked at her watch. "Danny I have to go. I'll see you later."
"Call me if you decide to sleep there, and I'd walk Bug before going to bed," Danny said and turned around to grab a plate from the cupboard. "And don't break his heart again."
JJ froze in her tracks.
When Danny turned around he found her there in front of the door standing stock-still. He moved to her direction and gently touched her shoulder. She jumped and turned around to look at him. She seemed to have just seen a ghost.
"Hey. You alright?" Danny asked concerned, she nodded lightly. "I didn't mean to… I was just kidding." Seeing that she didn't react he continued, "I know how you feel about what happened and I was a stupid for even mentioning this. I'm sorry. Please talk to me, JJ, please?"
"I...I...broke his heart?" she asked finally looking at him.
"Look, I don't know what happened that day, I just know that you both were really odd after that and he was quite down for a while. He wasn't the same and neither were you. But after the explosion everything changed again. I'm really happy that you are friends or whatever you are, but just be careful ok?" She nodded slowly "He is my best friend and you are like my baby sister and this scene seems to be from a stupid movie but just be careful."
"I think I'm going to call him and say I'm staying here." JJ said and began to look for her phone in her purse.
Danny stopped her. "Do you like him?"
JJ looked up "I...I...I don't know...I guess I do...Yes." She finally admitted blushing.
"Then you have to go there and tell him how you feel. Now." Danny said smiling.
"But...What if he doesn't like me? What if he just wants to be my friend? What if his feelings changed all over these years? What if..." JJ spoke nervously.
"You can't live just thinking in what could happen. Just live. Just do it. Go and talk with him. And he must be stupid if he says he doesn't like you, because he does." He smiled. "You look really beautiful tonight." He wiped away the tear that was rolling down her cheek.
She hugged him tightly. "Thanks, Danny."
"That's great. I hurt you and I end up receiving a hug." Danny said grinning.
"Don't get used to that. I bet it doesn't work like that with Lindsay," JJ said smiling too. They shared a comfortable silence and she continued "I'll go now. I'll call you when I get there." She pointed to Bug. "Take care of him."
"Don't worry, I will," Danny said proudly. "We've been alone other times and almost never anything bad happened."
"I was talking to him." she said pointing to Bug.
They both laughed and JJ finally left the apartment. She was going to talk to him. Finally.
I know it's not the best chapter ever written but I felt the need to put a litle brother-sister like conversation. Let me know what you think, please. Next chapter Flack and JJ's talk. REVIEW PLEASE!:D:D
