Chapter 3:
Adam had a permanent smile on his face as he left Denver's apartment, it was good getting to know her all over again. She had changed quite a bit, but she was still the same woman he fell in love with.
He had Lexi now, but he could never love her as much as he loves Denver. Adam was now at his girlfriend's apartment door, he knocked softly, and heard his girlfriend.
"Hey, can't you open the door, I have to get dressed."
"Fine, fine Lex damn," he heard a male's deep voice, who opened the door, he was about four inches taller than Adam, short dark hair and green eyes, and just wearing a pair of army green boxers. "Um... may I help you?"
"Yeah, I'm Adam Ross, and I'm dating Lexi," he ran a hand through his hair.
"Yeah, funny," he looked over his shoulder and Lexi came walking over.
"Mike, who is at the door?" she asked, and stopped when she saw that it was Adam.
"Some guy, claimed he's dating you."
She nodded, "Mike, why don't you go inside, let me talk to Adam."
"Fine," he kissed the top of her head, Lexi stepped out of the apartment and closed the door behind her.
"Look Adam, I can explain."
"Explain what? It's pretty obvious what just happened."
"I didn't mean for you to find out like this. That's Mike, he's the father of my kid, and I did something stupid last night while my mother has him."
"Since when have you had a kid?" he asked, a little hurt he didn't know about it.
"Three years," she frowned, rubbing her neck. "But Mike showed up at the door last night, and one thing led to another, I was a little drunk and had sex with him."
"You should have called me, instead of having me come to the other side of Manhattan to pick you up for breakfast. Obviously there is some reason you couldn't tell me about."
"I still have feelings for Mike, we kept in touch pretty much the whole time me and you were dating."
"Well thanks," Adam frowned, he was glad that he didn't fall in love with her. "I hope you have fun with this one," he turned around and walked off.
"Adam wait!" she rushed up to him. He stopped and turned around to face her. "I'm sorry I didn't tell you about it. I was hoping that we could at least stay friends."
"I don't know if I can."
"If you change your mind just let me know Adam," she kissed his cheek before she walked back to her apartment.
"Hey babe, what do we have here?" Danny entered the apartment to the crime scene he had to work with Denver.
"Three stab wounds in the back, he was married from what I know," Denver showed him the ring on his finger.
"The wife probably did it."
"Danny not all wives kill their husbands, if we were married you think I'd kill you?"
"I don't think I'd ever piss you off that much. At least, I hope not," he looked down at his girlfriend with a smirk.
"The tenant said this guy, Trevor Murcoff lived alone for three years," Don interrupted their conversation.
"Who has a wedding ring still on if they don't have a wife?"
"Husbands who lost their wife, like Mac. He had his ring on what, four years after 9/11?" Danny looked at Don who nodded.
"Oh, I forgot about that," Denver frowned.
"She seems a little distracted, don't you think?" Don asked Danny quietly, and he just shrugged.
"Hey Danny, you going to help me out or not?"
"Yeah Don, let me get to work," Danny nudged his friend, before helping Denver.
In the elevator heading to the lab, Danny looked at Denver, who looked a little tense.
"Hey babe, you've been quiet the whole way here."
"Just thinking about a few things. I wouldn't be too worried about it."
"Alright Den, but remember you can talk to me," he squeezed her hand and kissed her cheek.
"I know Danny," she kissed him softly on the mouth, and actually kind of felt better.
The doors opened and they exited the elevator.
"Do you want a coffee?" Denver asked him.
"No, you go enjoy your coffee and I have to do something first," he kissed her cheek as she headed into the break room.
"Adam, you're at work early," Denver noticed her ex boyfriend, sitting with a frown on his face.
"Had nothing else better to do," he sighed.
"Why, what happened I thought you were going out for breakfast?" she asked him, and he shook his head.
"Well I was, but she failed to tell me that she has a three year old kid, and last night she had sex with the father, she still has feelings for him."
"Oh Adam, I'm sorry," she sighed, placing her hand on top of his. "How could a woman do that to you Adam?" her thumb caressed his hand. "She does not know what she's missing."
"At least you think so," he looked down at their hands.
"Give yourself more credit Adam, you are an amazing guy."
"At least I am to you."
"Adam, you have to stop doing this to yourself. Any woman should be happy to be with you. You deserve anyone."
He looked up at her with a sad smile, he didn't know how much it was breaking her heart.
Danny who caught sight of them frowned and went to go find the one person who would know what was up with Adam and his girlfriend. "Iz, can I ask you something?"
"Sure," she looked away at the microscope, tucking a strand of her dark hair behind her ear.
"Well, I just came from seeing my girlfriend with Adam, and they looked a little comfortable. And I was thinking since you girls are best friends, if you know what's up with them."
"Really Danny? This is Denver we are talking about, she wouldn't do anything to hurt you. Get a grip Messer, if you are that thick headed then you do not deserve her," Isabella was getting really aggravated by Danny, her love she still had for Denver was stronger than she realized. "But I swear if you ever hurt Denver, you are not going to be able to have kids."
"Damn Izzy, I didn't know you were going to be so pissed about this."
"She's my best friend Danny, what do you expect? Now if you don't mind I should be getting back to work," she turned around and continued her work.
Isabella Pacino did not mess around when it came to Denver.
So quite interesting chapter isn't it, Adam gets hurt, Danny thinks Denver might be cheating on him, and Izzy sure set him straight lol I love that woman (and thank Thorne Lockehart for creating her) okay I ended it here and more of the case will be taken care of when I get back next week
