Hello viewers, this is your writer speaking.

I am really glad that you guys liked the last chapter and hope the same for this one.

I have begun writing the next chapter, so it will probably be up pretty soon and I would love to know what you think of the story thus far.

So please review! I literally sit by phone all day waiting for that email to show up-yea, I have no life.

Enjoy!

Mindy followed Danny and Jeremy to the hospital, while attempting to maintain her distance. What am I doing? Danny and I haven't been together for a day and I'm already stalking him? That's a new record, even for me. Maybe this is what Jeremy was talking about, I want too much too fast. So what if he asked for Jeremy's help instead of mine? It's his choice, he obviously made the wrong one but still…I have got to get out of here. She turned around and decided to head back to the office.

"Mindy, are you following us?" asked Jeremy from behind her. She spun around quickly and acted shocked.

"Me? No! Never! Why would you say that?"

"Because that's what you were doing," claimed Danny. They were both looking at her now.

"I was not! I came down here for some medicine stuffs and samples for patients," she answered pointing at random hospital bottles. Danny raised an eyebrow at her.

"'Medicine stuffs', seriously? What's the real reason you're down here?" Don't look at me with that smug grin, Castellano. I was not spying! Oh shoot, now I'm lying to myself, that isn't good.

"That is why I'm down here! Why are you down here?"

"You knew we were coming down here, we were literally just in the office with you. When, by the way, you did not mention that you would be coming here as well."

"I don't need to tell you everything!"

"No, it's just interesting that you didn't need to come down here until we needed to come down here."

"I did not! I actually needed to be here!"

"To do what?"

"Things!"

"And stuff," he added sarcastically.

"Exactly!"

"That was sarcasm."

"Not that this isn't positively riveting, but we have a patient who needs us," reminded Jeremy.

"You're right, let's go." He turned to look at Mindy. "Continue with your…well, I don't really know what you're doing." He turned to leave.

"I was looking for medication!" she yelled to his back as he walked away. She stood there for a moment until she noticed the nurses and patients were staring at her. She straightened her clothes and cleared her throat. "Carry on," she said as she headed back to the office.

Danny was having a really good day. The birth went fine, Mrs. Kirkland was just nervous and having Dr. Reed to talk to definitely calmed her down, much to the annoyance of her husband. But what really got him to smile, besides the memory of sleeping with Mindy was the jealous reaction she had when he had picked Jeremy over her to help him. Of course he didn't mean to hurt her feelings but she was adorable when she was jealous and then the whole "medication" fiasco was just so her. It kind of made Danny feel good that she was a little insecure about their relationship because he definitely was. Mindy was always surrounded by guys who wanted her, even if she didn't notice it and having Dr. Reed right next door all the time, certainly didn't put Danny's mind at ease.

"Hey, can I ask you something?" asked the British doctor. They were on their way back to the office after making sure that the new addition to the Kirkland family was happy and healthy.

"Sure."

"Have you ever liked a girl and wasn't sure if they liked you back?"

"Hasn't everybody?"

"I haven't. I am always surrounded by women who want me; I have never had to worry about something like this before." Of course, he hasn't. This guy gets everything he wants, how could I forget? It has to be that British accent because we're both doctors and I am nowhere near close to him in that department.

"Right. You're perfect. So what's your problem?" Teeth too white? Women too beautiful? You know what I don't even care as long as they keep you away from Mindy. Danny looked at him and tried to look compassionate, but he was pretty sure he was failing.

"Ok, I like someone in the office and I'm not sure if they like me back. It's really annoying not knowing you know?"

"Who is it?"

"I'd think it would be better if you didn't know actually, it's kind of embarrassing."

"Why?"

"Because it's someone you probably wouldn't have imagined me getting in a serious relationship with."

"Shauna?"

"What? No, she has a boyfriend."

"Betsy?"

"I am not going to tell you."

"Beverly?" Jeremy scowled at him.

"Really?"

"Hey, you're called a "sex-addict" for a reason."

"Let's just drop this."

"Is it Morgan?" he smirked.

"What?"

"Well, I just noticed that your question wasn't really gender specific, so…"

"I'm leaving."

"That's not a no," he laughed.

"You're unbelievable."

"Still not hearing no."

Mindy sat at her desk, finishing the final paperwork of the day when she heard a tap on her door.

"Is the area secure?" asked Danny as he scanned her office.

"No," she said sarcastically. "Seal team six is hiding in my desk drawer." He smiled at her and she couldn't help but smile back. Dammit, no. I'm still mad at you. He sat in a chair and started playing with one of the knick knacks on her desk.

"What happened to your chocolate fountain?"

"Why? I thought you didn't like it?"

"No, I said it wasn't necessary but since you had it anyway…"

"I only bring it out for partner meetings."

"Technically, we are partners of this business and since we are both here, it's kind of a meeting." Mindy looked at him blankly. "Right. So do you want to do something tonight?"

"Like?"

"I don't know, maybe a movie and then dinner."

"That's it?" she asked with a knowing smile.

"Well, if you ask for desert, I think I could whip something up," he smirked.

"If I ask?" she questioned. "I'm pretty sure you'll be the one begging."

"As long we end up having desert, does it really matter how we got it?"

"I guess not, but it will be you."

"Sure," he laughed. Mindy smiled at him but then shifted to her attention to something going on outside her door.

"What is going on out there?" Danny turned to look and saw Jeremy flirting with Betsy at the front desk. Nothing out of the ordinary, yet he couldn't help but wonder if Mindy was jealous.

"What do you mean? Jeremy is always flirting." Mindy rolled her eyes.

"I know that, but this is different. He looks different. He's nervous."

"About what?"

"I think he likes her." Danny shifted to the conversation he and Jeremy were having early.

"Well, he did mention that he liked someone in the office."

"WHAT?!" Mindy's scream echoed through the entire building, she quickly shut her office door. "Why am I only hearing about this now?" she yell-whispered.

"We talked about this morning; I honestly didn't think it was that big of a deal."

"It is always a big deal! This morning? That would have given Betsy, three…four…five! Five hours to prepare!"

"Prepare for what?"

"Jeremy's going to ask her out!" Danny looked at her incredulously.

"How could you possibly know that?"

"Didn't you see his face?"

"It looked normal! You are obviously jumping to conclusions!" Betsy ran into the room.

"I'm sorry to bother you guys, but Dr. Lahari, can I speak to you?"

"Sure."

"I'll leave," said Danny standing up.

"No, I want you to stay Dr. Castellano. I always feel comfortable when you're around."

"Great," he mumbled.

"What's up Betsy?" Mindy asked.

"Dr. Reed just asked me out!"

"Oh, really?" she asked, raising an eyebrow to Danny.

"Yes!" answered Betsy. "I have no idea where this came from but I am super excited. Who wouldn't be? The man is gorgeous, but he is also a player. Oh god, what if he's only using me? I shouldn't do this! However, it's really not fair for me to judge him like that; I mean he can be really sweet and nice sometimes. Like when he was the only one who went with me to visit my family at Thanksgiving, even thought I had invited everyone. He was so nice to them, nicer than I was. Maybe, he does care about me. I don't know, I'm really confused whether to go out with him or not because I do like him but I don't want to get my heart crushed and end up miserable like you did Dr. Lahari." Betsy quickly covered her mouth when she had realized what she had said. "I'm sorry." Danny looked at Mindy concerned but the female doctor was cool and relaxed.

"It's okay, Betsy and I'm not miserable, I'm-wait, did you say that you didn't say 'yes', yet?"

"Yea."

"Well, why not?"

"Didn't you hear what I said?"

"Betsy, you say a lot of things, I honestly can't keep track of it all. Go out there and say 'yes'!"

"But I'm scared."

"Of Dr. Reed?"

"Kind of, I guess I'm scared of being alone on a date with him."

"Fine, then Danny and I will go with you! We'll make it a double date." Betsy looked between the two of them.

"Are you guys going out? Because I would love that! I think you guys would make the cutest babies!"

"Right? I was just thinking that too! Like they would-" Mindy stopped when she noticed Danny was frowning at her. "Uh, no. We are not going out. Come on, would I go out with someone who still uses the word 'billfold'? No, we just want to help you out." Betsy nodded as if she was buying her story.

"Ok, thank you guys so much. I'll text you the details Dr. Lahari, see you tonight!" She left the room and went back to Jeremy.

"What was that?" asked Danny as he closed the door behind her.

"What?" she asked innocently.

"Don't 'what?' me! Didn't we agree this morning that we would be discrete about us?"

"Wow, I didn't know you were so ashamed of me that you didn't even want to tell our friends," she claimed as she sniffled a little, bowing her head. Danny felt horrible as he saw tears fall from her face to her desk. He walked over and rubbed her back awkwardly.

"I'm sorry and I'm not ashamed of you. Don't cry." Mindy raised her head to reveal dry eyes and a smile.

"You see, that's called 'acting' and it's what we are going to do to make sure they don't figure us out." Danny stared at her for a moment, and then kissed her.

"You are brilliant," he asserted when he pulled away.

"That's what I've been saying," she smiled. "All we have to do is pretend to hate each other. So just continue being your grumpy, old-timey self and I'll try to be unlikeable. It's going to be rough." Danny laughed.

"Hey, you don't really have a problem with the word 'billfold', do you?"

"You mean aside from the fact that the last person to say it before you was George Washington? No, not really." Danny smirked at her.

"What? I'm just warming up for tonight."
