Chapter 9 - Dinner For Two

We sat in a French restaurant where the menu was so complex I didn't understand a word of it. It had a lovely atmosphere and seemed like a perfect place for a date, if that was what this was. We both went home after dropping off the evidence at the lab and changed into more dinner worthy attire. I had on a red cocktail dress the hugged my figure and stopped above the knee. Danny was wearing a grey shirt and black dress pants.

"You scrub up quite nicely Danny" I said smirking at him.

"Well I would have said the same about you but that would have been an understatement" he replied matching my smirk with his own.

"So how many women have you said that line to then?" I asked him cocking my head to the left a little

"None that have called me out on it 10"

"What is it with you constantly calling me that?" I asked him taking a sip of the wine in front of me

"What, 10?"

"Yeah"

"Its a way of showing my friendship, I give everyone a nickname."

"But I've never heard you call Flack by any other name, or Stella"

"I did when I first met them but that was years ago and the magic seems to have worn off"

"Oh" I replied quietly

"Do you want me to stop?" he asked cautiously

"Stop what?"

"Calling you 10?"

"No, I kinda like it. It makes me feel special"

"And that you are" Danny replied with a chuckle "So tell me all about yourself"

"Well what do you want to know?" I asked trying to evade the question

"I don't know, your dreams, your hopes? Plans for the future?"

"My dream is already coming true, I mean I'm working for one of the best crime scene labs in the world so I'm so happy! My hope is to settle down and start a family soon, and that's also my plans for the future. You?"

"My dream is to learn to cook" I burst out laughing when he said that.

"What?" he asked feigning offence

"I just find that really funny" I said while still laughing

"Its a legitimate dream!" he argued "Anyway my hope is to impress Mac, believe me it's a hard thing to do" I smiled at him

"And your plan for the future?"

"Ah yes. I want to find a girl and fall madly in love"

"That's probably not going to happen" I said to him looking at the table

"Why not? I'm not good enough?" he asked slightly offended

"No I didn't mean it wouldn't happen to you specifically I meant that falling in love with someone and have them love you back is nearly impossible to do"

"Why do you think that?" he asked me curiously

"Well my parents were divorced before I was five and even when my mum found someone new she was never happy. It just seems to me that love is fiction. It's not real life"

"Well maybe you just have to find that someone who'll make you feel different" Danny told me

"I guess" I replied softly. The waiter came over and we were just about to order our food when both our phones rang.

Danny looked at me "It's Mac" he said holding up his phone

"Sid" I replied holding up mine. I turned to the waiter and said "Sorry but we've got to take these.

"Detective Scott" I said into the device

"Hey Chloe it's Sid"

"Hey Sid, what's up?"

"How are you? It feels like ages since we talked last"

"I'm doing good thanks, I'm actually at dinner right now."

"Oh that sounds nice, what are you having?" he replied sounding genuinely interested

"Well we didn't get that far"

"We?"

"Danny and I" I said silently praying I could get back to ordering my food

"Oh, I'm sorry to have to interrupt your date with Danny then" he said with a smile in his voice

"It's not a date just two work friends out for dinner" I replied

"Right, got you" Sid said, obviously not believing me. I rolled my eyes

"So was there a reason you called?" I asked starting to feel the hunger in my stomach

"Yes, it seems like there's something weird going on with the body you brought in. I went to Mac about but he said that this was your case and to speak to you first. That's quite an honour already. Mac saying that it was your case" Sid said getting a bit off track

"Sid, focus. What's wrong with the body?"

"I don't really know, it's not something I can describe over the phone. I'm sorry to cut your dinner short but you're gonna have to come in" I sighed heavily

"Sure Sid, I'll be there as soon as I can"

"See you soon then Chloe" Sid replied and hung up the phone. Just as I put my phone back in my purse Danny came back inside. It seemed that he had taken his call outside.

"Sid needs me to go in and check out something to do with our vic" I said shaking my head

"Mac needs me to come in to catalogue some evidence as Hawkes is at a crime scene and Stella can't do it all alone" Danny said sitting back down

"Well at least we're not leaving each other alone" I said smiling a little

"I guess we'll have to reschedule this for another time then?"

"I guess, but hopefully we won't be interrupted. I want to be able to eat once in a while" I said with a chuckle

"I know, I feel the same. Well let's go" Danny said motioning to the waiter to pay for the wine we drank

"So whose more stable to drive?" I asked

"I had half a glass so I'll drive" Danny replied

"Being the responsible male? I like it" I said to him as I got in the passenger side

"Well I do try when there is a lady involved" he said smirking

"I'm a lady now? Gosh don't I feel special" I replied smirking also

"Just shut up and buckle in"

So what did you think? I've still got some plot in there but lots of fluff too. Please review, reviews are love! See you all next Sunday!
