Faster Than Angels Fly
Chapter 1: Quick Decisions
"A modern day Romeo and Juliet
American tragedy
Low rent, high-rise lovers who met at the end of
Coronado Street
Crucifix made in California gold
Two worlds bound to collide
Heaven can't help you if you go
Fast than angels fly"
Mac closes his locker, turning around to find Stella pulling a sweater on. "The blue one looked fine; why are you dirtying another shirt?" he teases.
She turns around to face him, pulling the shirt down quickly, "You're not the one doing the laundry."
"Have a date tonight?"
"No."
"Expecting company?"
"No."
"Meeting a friend?"
"No."
"Then I give up."
"What were you trying to do?" Stella pulls her suit jacket on over her red sweater.
"Guess what you are doing tonight."
"Nothing."
He moves next to her, "Have you been on any dates since the attack?"
"One."
"How'd it go?"
"Guy tried to get me in bed after dinner; it ended before he succeeded."
"But you were ready to move on?"
"Yes."
"Someone's unusually untalkative tonight. You've answered almost everything with one word."
Her green eyes watch as he moves closer, backing her against her locker. "Have you been drinking, Mac?"
"No."
"What are you doing then?"
His lips meet hers, and once he knows she isn't going to fight him off, he deepens it. Finally he pulls back to let her breathe, resting their foreheads together. He finds his hands have made their way to her waist and hers are around his neck. "This shirt looks good on you too."
Stella kisses him again, giving his tongue entrance. Her fingers slide over his shoulders to the buttons on his shirt. They pull apart, breathing heavily. She looks at his half naked chest. "Where'd all these come from?" she feels his scars.
"I'll tell you later. I think we need to take this elsewhere."
"My place is closer," she offers.
Mac buttons his shirt back up and gives her a short kiss. "Let's go then."
Angels
They're kissing as soon as the elevator doors close. She fumbles with the lock on her door while he kisses down her neck. The moment they get inside, he pins her against the door. She wraps her arms around him, fingers tangling in his short hair.
Mac's hands make their way to the hem of her shirt, slipping underneath to draw circles on her warm skin. Soon he is pulling the sweater over her head, tossing it to the floor.
She unbuttons his shirt while guiding him to her bedroom. Once she has taken it off, she slips her heels off as he does the same with his shoes, straining to keep their lips connected. Before he knows what she is doing, his pants are sliding down his legs. Trying to step out of them, he falls backward onto her bed, bringing her with him.
Stella fights to stay on top, but he overpowers her, flipping her onto her back. He helps her remove her pants, then gets them under the covers. As they continue on, fully aware of what they are doing and what this could do to their friendship, neither one of them wants to address the consequences.
A/N: Sorry I haved posted anything in so long. I've been really busy with band and homework the past couple weeks. Hopefully it gets a little easier. Luckily band is almost over; two or three weeks left. Let's see... don't like the guy that's like stalking Stella. He's a bit strange and definitely up to something. I read somewhere that he's involved in the whole 333 thing with Mac; they were friends when they were little and he's getting revenge on Mac because his older brother was beaten by some guy and there was a gun next to Mac, but he didn't do anything about it. Anyway, in the interview I read with Melina, it said it's a dangerous relationship, not only for Stella. But supposedly this whole thing is over in seven more episodes. And someone (probably the 333 stalker/Drew) sends her a box, which she thinks is a bomb, and she gets all freaked out about it; it turns out to be puzzle pieces or something. I have to finish writing my dumb persuasive essay. I think I only have three paragraphs left to write. I'll try to update again this week for you guys; I have Wednesday off of school, so that might be when I do so. And just so you know, this is a very, very sad story. Please review.
