On My Way To You

2

When Lindsey got back to his townhouse, Robin and Stella were waiting for him and Robin growled. 

"You still have a half an hour." 

"She um, had to go..." He sighs.

"No, I paid for..." 

"I told her she could go, there was a video of Don Henley having sex with someone at a club that found its way to her." Lindsey shrugs.

"They were supposed to get married." Stella states.

"I'm aware, she told me...that's why I said she could go...um, I got you a brownie, squirt." He holds out the to-go container. 

She greedily takes it and doesn't even get a fork, she just eats it with her hands. 

"I didn't know I raised a cave-woman." Lindsey cocks an eyebrow.

"It's good dad." She smiles, chocolate on her face. 

"Well how was it otherwise..." Robin trails off. 

"Ugh, I guess it was natural." Lindsey sighs joining the girls on the couch. 

"Natural?" Robin asks.

"It wasn't awkward, she didn't seem like a celebrity...She asked about Stella, asked about you, because she thought she was going on a date with you." 

"Was she nice?" Stella had finished her indulgence and was licking her fingers.

"She was...she paid for my meal, and she didn't have to by any means." Lindsey nods.

"Did you get me a picture?" Was Stella's next question. 

"No, I didn't bring the camera... and you hate the pictures on the flip phones." 

"But THAT'S why we need iPhones..." She rolls her eyes.

"We're perfectly fine with what we got." He points at her. 

"Fine, I'm going to bed." She huffs. 

"Hey, wash your face." Lindsey calls after her. 

"I will. Night dad, Love you." 

"Love you too squirt." 

"I love you too." Robin jumps in.

"I love you Aunt Robbie." 

When Lindsey knew that Stella was out of ear shot, he had heard her bedroom door shut, he looked at his sister. "She wanted to make it up to me." 

"Hmm?" 

"She left early and scheduled another date with me...she's going to be accompanying me to the staff welcome back party next week." 

"Really? Kim and I aren't going because he has a late meeting." Robin pouts, but she hides it behind a gasp. 

"I don't really believe she'll show." Lindsey shakes his head. 

"What if she does..." Robin trails off.

"I don't know.." Lindsey tells her.

"I mean I feel bad for her with the Don situation." Robin bites her lip.

"I do to...She seemed really freaked out about it." Lindsey tells her.

"Alright, well...I'm going to head home. Talk to you later." 

"Okay, let me know when you get home." He stands up to show her out of the door.

"I will. Goodnight big brother." 

"Night Robin." He nods.
