Friday afternoon, on the way to the train station

Mar 03, 2006 17:07

Danny sighed softly as he glanced over at the clock in his SUV, his fingers sliding down the center console to switch the song on his iPod. The Killers. Nice. He knew they had plenty of time to get Lindsay to the train station, but he found himself dreading it. C'mon, she was the only person he really knew well, that was why. Couldn't be because of ( Read more... )

"What? Give you my lab willingly? No way, Messer," she grinned and teased him. "You can have it once you earn it."

She settled in against him and smiled. Lindsay was going to miss him this weekend, sure. But, as a friend. Because there was nothing else between them. Right? "Stay out of trouble while I'm gone, because I don't think Casey'll bail your ass out of jail," she said, poking him in the ribs.

"Wanted? Gotcha. Past tense. And I don't think of myself as a conquest." She kept her eyes straight ahead, careful not to look at Danny. Lindsay was afraid that if she did, she'd either hit him or start crying, and right now? Neither was acceptible. "Also, the only thing I ever judged you on? Was your merit. Your skill. The fact that you're the best at what you do, both in the lab and in bed."

"You asked me if you were a conquest. The thought never crossed your mind?" Danny said quietly, watching her from behind his glasses. He was hurting her. Fuck. Fuck, but she'd drawn first blood!

He swore under his breath, his thumb stroking her cheek as he growled, "Oh for fuck's sake, Lindsay.." Shifting closer, he leaned in until he could capture her lips in a hard, almost brutal kiss in what he figured was a futile attempt to get her to realize that no, it wasn't past tense at all.

Lindsay didn't say a word, just kept her eyes on the road in front of them. She didn't know what would come out if she opened her mouth, so she just didn't take that chance.

She jumped when she felt him move, felt his mouth hard on hers. Wanted nothing more than to kiss him back, taste him, feel him, lose herself in him. But she was angry and hurt and upset and so she kissed him back, biting at his lips and tongue and beating on his chest with her small yet ineffectual fists before wrapping his jacket around her hands and pulling him against her. Didn't want to talk anymore. Didn't want to fight. Just wanted to kiss him until she forgot her name.

Danny murmured Lindsay's name into her mouth, his teeth biting at her lower lip before he licked at it, determined to stop this before it got worse. Before he lost her. Not that he'd had her? He flinched when she started hitting him but kept kissing her, his temper melting as the kiss became slower. No more of this crap. No more accusations, nothing. His fingers cupped the back of her neck, not wanting her to pull away just yet.

Her hands moved to either side of his face and she stroked his cheeks with her thumbs as she kissed him, desperate to hold on to him.

"Danny," she breathed when she finally pulled back. "What are we doing?" Lindsay looked in his eyes, searching for some sort of answer, even a hint, something she could hold on to when she walked away from him at the station. Honestly, though, she didn't expect to find anything.

Danny swallowed hard, his fingers brushing along Lindsay's jaw. "I don't know." He said quietly and had to look down for a moment before he could meet her eyes again. Hell, he was being honest.

"Look. Go do your thing. I'll keep my hot dates to a minimum.." And there it was, his smirk that said he had more to say but wasn't going to say it, his voice slightly rough. "And when you come back, we'll figure something out."

She looked down. "I don't know either," she met his eyes. "But I kind of like it," she added under her breath.

Lindsay bit her lip and nodded. "What about me and you? We good?" She brushed her thumb over his lips and raised an eyebrow.

He gave her a small smile, wetting his lips and letting out a soft laugh. "So maybe when you come back, we'll see what happens."

Shrugging a shoulder, Danny nipped at her thumb before sucking lightly at it. "Yeah, we're good."

Lindsay nodded and bit her lip before she leaned in to kiss him again. "I'm sorry," she said softly.

She glanced at the clock on the dashboard and gasped. "Oh, no! I think I missed my train, Danny," she said as she looked at him.

"Don't." He said softly, his lips bushing her jaw as he pulled back, his hand resting lightly on her side.

He swallowed hard and squinted at the clock. "Shit... Yeah, you did." He ran his fingers through his hair, starting the car up again. This is why they left early. He should have been paying attention. "There more trains tonight? Or am I driving you to Boston?"

She nodded and sat back in her seat, chewed on her lip as she tried to figure out what to do. "No, you won't have to drive me to Boston." No. Not going anywhere NEAR Boston, not this weekend. She pulled her bag onto her lap and dug through it until she pulled out a schedule. "Next one's at," she looked at the clock and frowned. "Damn. Later than I thought. Next one's at 8:19. You mind waiting with me? It's cold outside," she said and wrinkled her nose as she felt her phone vibrating from somewhere deep inside her bag. Shit. That had to be Mac. I should have been there almost an hour ago, and he must be worried. Shit. I'll have to call him or text him or something, she thought crankily.

Danny bit his lower lip, glancing out at the road before pulling out. "What, my drivin' not good enough for you?" He teased and turned the music back on, soft enough to barely be heard. Shoving his glasses back on his face, he focused on the road and tried to keep his mind from replaying insults. "8:19.. you got 45 minutes. So, yeah, I'll wait. Can't have you freezin' off any extremities."

She laughed and smacked his arm before she dropped her bag back on the floor, ignored her phone. "Shut up, Messer," she grinned. "Your driving is fine. Perfectly acceptible." Lindsay really wanted to move back to where she was before they argued, next to him, his arm around her shoulders, but she wasn't sure if she should.

"You sure you don't mind? You don't have to," she said softly. Wouldn't have been surprised if he did leave her there, since she'd said some awful, hurtful things to him.

"Always hittin' me, Monroe." Danny teased her, grinning as he let his right hand find its way onto her thigh, letting it rest there. So, she could smack it away if she wanted to. Whatever. Let him know where he stands.

He bit his lip gently and glanced in her direction. "I told you I was gonna stay, I'll stay. I don't got anywhere better to be." Wanted to prove he could keep his word. Even if he was still shit at keeping his temper.

Hand on her thigh? Okay. She took that as a sign that she could slide next to him again, and she did. Next thing she felt was his hand leaving her thigh and slipping over her shoulders. She smiled and laid her head back on his shoulder. "Sorry. I'll have to take some anger management classes, learn to control my temper," she smirked.

Lindsay nodded. "Okay. Thanks," she said softly, trying hard not to take that the wrong way. He probably didn't mean it to be hurtful, but after their argument, she wasn't sure how to take him now. Because things weren't awkward enough between them already.
