Chap 4

Danny took a hazardous look into the bathroom and making sure it was vacated and it's vacant gone. Satisfied he entered and merely sat on the edge of the tub. He placed his head in his hands and thought for a long moment about his little problem at hand. He sighed and hopped in the shower as well.

Lindsay made her way to the kitchen wearing a pair of Danny's boxers and an old sweatshirt that reached halfway to her knees she went over to the kitchen and hurriedly lowered the heat to the stove to prevent the pot to overflow.

"Smart Danny!" She whispered as she opened the cover and stirred the noodles around. Finding them to sticky she looked through the cupboards for vegetable oil.

"Danny! Danny!" She yelled over her shoulder as she rummaged through the cupboard moving bottles of spices and other ingredients aside.

Danny heard her yell from across the house. He contemplated putting on his pants but he better see what she wanted before she burned the house down or something. He wrapped his towel around his body tightly and jogged to the kitchen where he hid half his body behind the door frame.

"Yah?" He inquired as he watched her rummage through every cabinet; crook and cranny. She turned to look at him but the minute she did her cheeks reddened and she averted her gaze quickly to anywhere but his well chiseled chest.

"Umm…I was looking for the umm vegetable oil…eh where is it?" She said scratching her hairline in obvious discomfort and coughed in embarrassment. Danny smiled coyly and approached her. She turned away towards the wall but even as she did that she could still feel his presence and it driving her hormones wild.

Danny leaned up over the fridge and opened that cupboard and moved some spices around and came up with a half empty bottle of veggie oil.

"Here." He said handing it to her. She slowly turned around making sure to only look at him in the face but catching a part of his chest anyway she swallowed heavily and accepted it.

"Thank…do me a favor?" She asked turning away from him but still able to see him in the corner of her eye. She unscrewed the cap and poured some in the cap then spilled it in the pot.

"Yah?" He said buffing up his chest a little and putting his hands just above the rim of his towel.

"Put on some close Messer." She said stirring the mix and turning on another pot for the sauce.

"Why, does me being half naked turn you on?" He said raising an eyebrow stepping a little closer to her just stopping shy from touching her arm.

"No quite the opposite, you're making me lose my appetite." She said pouring in some sauce in the pot and stirring a huge smile spreading over her features. Danny put on a look of hurt and put a hand to his chest in mock hurt.

"It's my house." He interjected stomping his foot in an act of stubbornness.

"How would you feel if I walked around your house wearing nothing but a towel?" She asked raising an eyebrow, her voice slurring with her southern accent.

He shrugged and smiled.

"You brought it up not me." He laughed lightly at her shocked expression and felt the air around them stiffen

"No I…I mean…"She scoffed and stomped around him heading towards her room in a huff. Danny smiled and continued with the stirring content he had enough time to change and come back.

As he headed down the hall he heard Lindsay's voice from her room muffled from the door as it may be he could still hear her rambling off her anger.

"You brought it up he says. Of course I brought it up how could you not, I mean him standing their freaking half naked, in front of me strutting off his chest…damn!" She said and throwing her pillow against the bed frame and hunkering down on it. Almost instantly she fell asleep; the image of Danny in a towel running likes a stream through her conscious.
