Chapter 50.
New Year�s Eve Surprise
Cory and Danny had slept in the day after Christmas. When they finally began to stir, it was almost noon. Danny looked down at the very content and satisfied woman that lay in his arms. �Mornin�.�
Cory smiled. �Mornin�. Why are you so happy?�
Danny smiled. �I just can�t believe that you�re here. That you moved here.�
Cory looked at him. �You can thank Nicole for that. She practically tied me up and put me on the plane. Said that if I didn�t move here then I was making the worst mistake of my life. So here I am.�
Danny looked at her. �Remind me to buy her dinner when she is visiting you. When do you start your new job?�
�Next Tuesday, after the New Year�s holiday. Agent Michaels wanted to give me some time to adjust to actually moving here. Do you have to work today?�
Danny nodded. �I�m on from four to midnight.�
Cory looked a little down about that. �That sucks. At least I have you to myself for another couple of hours.�
Danny smiled. �Let�s make the most of that time.� He leaned in and placed a soft kiss on her lips, while his hands moved the sheets out of his way.
(Later that night, Cory�s apartment)
Cory was humming to herself and she unpacked more boxes of clothes. She looked at her closet and the amount of clothes she had and made a realization. �Aw, hell. I�m actually going to have to store my summer clothes! That�s just weird.� Sighing, she separated her clothes out.
When she was done with that task, she decided to set up the spare bedroom. The moving crew had put the bed together for her, but it was still undecorated. Just as she was walking to her bedroom, her cell phone rang. Grinning she answered the phone, recognizing Nicole�s phone number. �Hola, chica! How�s it going?�
�Good. How did Danny react?�
�He was shocked and rather pleased. Thank you. I would have never done this without you. When are you going to visit me?�
�When are you going to unpack everything? Remember when you moved into your house? It took you two years to unpack everything!� Nicole laughed at the memory.
�Hey! I�m doing better. I�ve already unpacked my bedroom, bathroom and kitchen. I just have the spare room left. That and all my movies and CD�s.�
�I�m impressed. I should be able to take some time off in February. I�m thinking that Henry and I will be up there for Valentine�s Day. Is that soon enough for you?�
Cory nodded her head as she replied. �It�ll be fine. I�ll make sure that you make it to the Empire State Building. Sweetie, as much as I love talking to you, if I don�t start unpacking this room soon, it�ll never get done. Can I call you tomorrow?�
�Sure. Just make sure that you call me!! Love ya!�
Cory was still laughing as she hung up her phone. She was reenergized to begin unpacking again.
(Meanwhile, at the crime lab)
Lindsay looked at Danny, a smile crossing her face. �Hey! Messer! Why are you grinning like a fool? Your case going well?�
Danny shook himself out of his daze. �Naw. The case is stuck, but I can�t keep from thinking �bout Cory. I still don�t believe that she moved to New York. Why would she give up her life in Texas?�
Lindsay rolled her eyes. �Danny. She gave it up for you. She is massively in love with you. Just don�t screw it up.�
Danny laughed as Lindsay walked back to their office. He watched Hawkes walk by the lab in a daze. He walked out of the lab and tried to catch Hawkes� attention. �Hawkes! Yo, Hawkes!! Hawkes!!!�
Finally, Hawkes turned around. �Sorry, Messer. What�s going on?�
�You look a little distracted, man. Who is she?�
Hawkes looked at him. �If you must know, that woman Lydia that I met last night. She�s different. Listen, I got to go and check on my DNA results. See you later.�
Danny sighed when he went back to work. He was trying his best not to think about Cory and work, but he knew that it was going to be a long night.
(1 am)
Cory had just finished making up the bed in the spare room, when she heard her buzzer ring. Smiling, she walked over and answered it. �Yes?�
�It�s me. Can I come up?�
�You had to ask?�
�Since I don�t have a key, yes!�
Cory just laughed and buzzed Danny up. She unlocked her door and left it a bit ajar.
�Cory? Don�t leave your door open. You never know who might walk in.�
Cory faked shock. �Really? You right! Who are you and what the hell are you doing in my apartment!�
Danny just shook his head and laughed. �Alright. I�ll back off. Now come here.�
Cory willing went into his arms and surrendered to his lips.
(New Year�s Eve)
Cory, Lindsay and Stella had planned the New Year�s Eve party for everyone. By general consensus, it was being held at Cory�s apartment, since she had the most room.
Stella and Lindsay arrived at Cory�s apartment at five o�clock, to help her prepare.
Stella walked in carrying a bag of groceries. �I brought food! Lindsay brought the plates, napkins and cups. Do you need anything else?�
Cory walked out of the kitchen. �Nope. I�ve got ice. I�ve restocked by liquor cabinet and got some beer for the guys. Oh, by the way. I talked to Lydia earlier today and she could not stop talking about Hawkes! I smell romance!� Cory rolled her eyes in amusement.
Lindsay laughed. �You are such a matchmaker! You do you plan on matching up next?�
Cory got a mischievous look in her eyes. �I�ll never tell. I guess I�ll play bartender tonight. Nicole gave me a drink recipe book for Christmas, since I won�t have her most excellent bartending services.�
A couple of hours later, the women had everything ready. They had all agreed to get ready at Cory�s, so Cory took the shower first. When she got out, Stella took hers and the Lindsay took her shower.
After they were done with their showers, all the women stood in Cory�s bedroom, trying to do her hair and make up. Cory was beginning to look frustrated while trying to do her hair. �Damn it! One of these days I�m just going to cut it all off!�
Lindsay looked at her. Lindsay had already done her hair. She had pulled it into a sleek chignon. �Cory. Here, let me do your hair. What are you wearing?�
�I have a silver dress with spaghetti straps.�
Thirty minutes later, Lindsay was done. She had simply straightened Cory�s hair and let it hang free. �Linds, thank you. I was just at a loss. Besides, Danny�s never seen me this dressed up. I need to go get dressed so I can put on my make-up.� Cory looked over a Stella, who had already gotten dressed. �Wow, Stella. You look amazing!!�
Stella was dressed in a simple black dress that fell to her knees. It had spaghetti straps that left her shoulders bare. �Now, I need to do my make-up.�
Lindsay agreed and she too got dressed. She had a royal blue dress which fell to just below her knees, but it had a thigh high slit up the right side.
Cory got dressed in her gown. It was silver and fell to her knees with a modest slip up the left side.
Thirty minutes later, they had finished their make-up and Cory went to fix them a drink.
(At the party)
Cory was pleasantly surprised to see how many people had showed up to her party. She had invited people from work plus the guys from the crime lab. She had seen Sid show up with a stunning blonde on his arm, but was disappointed when he told her that Taylor and Marty couldn�t make it.
Stella came up for a refresher on her drink and Cory decided to ask her about Mac. �Stella? Can I ask you a question?�
�Sure.�
�Why the hell aren�t you and Mac dating?�
Stella choked on her drink. �Umm�what?�
Cory just gave her a look. �Come on. You�re obviously attracted to him, he�s attracted to you. What�s the problem?�
Stella looked a little uncomfortably. �Let�s just call it bad timing and leave it at that.�
�Okay.� Cory turned as she saw Lydia walking over. �Hey, Lydia!! Wow, you look good! Trying to impress someone?� Cory raised her eyebrows.
Lydia flushed a bit. She had her black hair pulled back in an elegant pony-tail and was wearing a red dress that set off her olive toned skin very nicely. �Thanks and kind of. Is Sheldon going to be here?�
Cory looked over Lydia�s shoulder. �He just walked in and can�t take his eyes off of you. Let me get you a drink. What do you want?�
�Can I have a margarita?�
�Frozen or on ice?�
�Frozen, please.�
�Not a problem. Hawkes, what can I get for you?�
Hawkes walked up, still distracted by how Lydia looked. �Um�a beer?� She turned to Lydia and flashed her a smile. �Hi. Lydia, right?�
Lydia smiled a little. �Yeah. Sheldon, right?�
Cory smiled a little as she put the drinks in front of them and turned to make another drink. She kept scanning to crowd, looking for Danny. She still didn�t see him and was getting a little worried. She decided to take a break from making drinks for a little bit and walked around talking to different people.
She caught up with Lindsay and Stella. �Have y�all seen Danny, Flack or Mac?�
Stella shook her head. �They�re running a bit late, something about a decomposing body and trying to get the stench out. They should be here soon.�
Cory breathed a sigh of relief. �Okay. I was getting worried.�
Stella smiled. �Understandable. Now, did I see Hawkes and Lydia talking?�
Cory giggled. �Yup. He couldn�t take his eyes off of her when he walked in. I�m so good at setting people up.� Cory scrunched her nose a little. �What can I say? I have a gift.�
Lindsay just rolled her eyes. �Whatever. Who�s making drinks?�
Cory looked back at the bar. �Well, since there are people waiting, I guess I need to get back.�
Almost an hour later, Cory was making herself a Cosmo, when a pair of hands covered her eyes. �Hey!� She turned quickly and saw Danny standing there. She sniffed the air and smelled lemons. �Decomp. Nice. At least you only smell like lemons, now.�
�How�d ya know?�
�I talked to Stella.�
Danny gave her a little kiss. �Osservate stasera molto bei.�
Cory looked at him, with confusion in her eyes. �What?�
�You look very beautiful tonight. Guess what?� Danny didn�t wait for her to answer. �Louie gets out of the hospital on Friday! I�m so relieved that he is better.�
Cory smiled. �Things are looking up for you! Congrats. Do you want a drink?�
Danny thought about it. �I�ll take a beer.�
�Coming right up.� Cory looked over and saw Flack and Lindsay in a deep conversation. �I wonder if they are going to come clean tonight? I hope so. I hate having to keep something from Danny.�
(5 minutes to Midnight)
Cory looked at the clock and realized that it was almost midnight. Quickly she went into her kitchen and grabbed the bottles of champagne out of her fridge. She grabbed the cups and began to pour the champagne into glass. �Okay, everyone! It�s almost midnight. Come get your champagne!�
Once everyone had a glass, there were just a few seconds left.
�10�9�8�7�6�5�4�3�2�1...Happy New Year.� All of the couples shared kisses, including Stella and Mac. When Danny finally let Cory up for air people had begun singing Auld Lang Syne.
People began to file out soon after that and soon it was just the people from the crime lab and Lydia left. Cory looked at Flack and Lindsay and smiled. She realized that they were about to make their announcement.
Lindsay looked around. �Um�guys. I�d like to tell you something.� Everyone turned and looked at her. �Don and I are engaged!�
Stella squealed. �Really!! Congratulations. I�m so excited!�
Danny looked at Cory. �Aren�t you happy?�
�Yeah, but I�ve known about this for a little bit. Lindsay swore me to secrecy.�
Danny just shook his head and made his way to congratulate the happy couple. �So when�s the wedding?�
Flack shook his hand. �We want to have it on June 16. That�s the best time for Lindsay�s family to fly into town. All I know is that I�m going to show up at the church. She can have whatever kind of ceremony that she wants.�
Mac overheard the comment. �Smart man. That is the best thing to do.� Without realizing it, all of the women had drawn Lindsay to a corner and all of the men were still talking by the bar. Danny was the first one to notice. �Don�t look now, Flack. They are planning the wedding already.�
Flack laughed. �Oh, Linds has already planned a good deal of it. She�s ultra organized. We already have the church and the minister booked. I�m sure that they are just ironing out the details.�
Over in the corner, Cory was hugging Lindsay. �I am so glad it�s out in the open now. How much of the wedding do you have planned?�
Lindsay smiled, radiantly. �A lot. Cory? I want you to be my maid of honor. And then Stella and my sister, Julie will be bridesmaids.�
Cory looked at Lindsay. �I�m honored. Listen. What are y�all doing tomorrow?�
Both Stella and Lindsay said that they had the day off. �Why don�t we get together and plan the wedding?�
Lindsay looked relieve. �Thanks. I think I�m in over my head here! I could use the help.�
Stella looked at her. �Sounds like a plan.� Stella yawned. �I�d better go home. I�ve been up since four am. I worked the early shift to have tonight off.�
Everyone else agreed and left Danny and Cory alone in the apartment. Cory took one look around and sighed. �You know what? Screw it. I�ll clean tomorrow. I�m just tired and want to go to sleep. You staying here tonight?�
Danny nodded. �Sure. I�m too tired to drive home.�
With that, Cory turned out the lights and they went to bed.
