Ch 1
McMurphy's Bar 2300 hours
Mac sat on the bar stool as she drank her tonic water with a twist of lime suddenly she heard a familiar voice behind her "Hey, is this seat taken?" It was Harm and he was motioning to the empty stool beside her. "Nope, not that I can see" she answered him in a playful tone.
Harm sat down beside her and took a sip of her drink. "Hmmm.. tonic with lime I see."
"Yeah it's just my usual" He looked at her straight in the eyes, his crystal clear blue eyes just gazed back at her. She could see friendship and desire in his eyes, she was almost speechless and they didn't say anything for a long time. The music on the jukebox changed and the music started playing:
I can't fight this feeling any longer
And yet I'm still afraid to let it flow
What started out, as friendship has grown stronger
I only wish I had the strength to let it show
I tell myself that I can't hold out forever
I say there is no reason for my fear
'Cause I feel so secure when we're together
"Would you care to dance Mac?" She looked at him and said "Sure, Harm I would love to" as they started dancing the music continued to play
You give my life direction
You make everything so clear
And even as I wander
I'm keeping you insight
You're a candle in the window on a cold dark winter's night
And I'm getting closer than I ever thought I might
'Cause I can't fight this feeling anymore
I've forgotten what I started fighting for
It's time to bring this ship unto the shore
And throw away the oars forever
'Cause I can't fight this feeling anymore
I've forgotten what I started fighting for
And if I have to crawl upon the floor
Come crashing through your door
Baby, I can't fight this feeling anymore
She could feel Harm pull her closer to him as the music continued to play. It was like all the feelings of the past six years were being expressed through the song. Mac loved it and relaxed into Harm's arms, letting him surround her as she had wanted him to do for so long. He put his hand underneath her chin and lifted her head that was lying upon his shoulder so that he could look in to her chocolate brown eyes that he adored.
"Mac..."
"Harm, don't say anything just hold me, please." They just held each other as the music continued playing softly in the background. They didn't notice Harriet and Bud come into the bar.
As the Harriet and Bud watched Harm and Mac, from across the room Harriet leaned over to her husband, "Honey, I think they've finally figured it out."
"Figured what out, Harriet?" Bud looked at his wife with question in his eyes.
"What they feel for each other silly." Harriet scolded her husband, her eyes smiled, happy for her friends.
My mind has been such a whirlwind since I saw you
I've been running around in circles in my mind
And it always seems that I'm following you girl
'Cause you take me to the places
That alone I'd never find
And even as I wander I'm keeping you insight
You're a candle in the window on a cold dark winter's night
And I'm getting closer than I ever though I might
And I can't fight this feeling anymore
I've forgotten what I started fighting for
It's time to bring this ship unto the shore
And throw away these oars forever
'Cause I can't fight this feeling anymore
I've forgotten what I started fighting for
And if I have to crawl upon the floor
Come crashing through your door
Baby, I can't fight this feeling anymore
As the song ended, Mac looked up to see Harm staring at her with a concerned look on his face. "Mac, you mean so much...."
"I've been fighting this for such a long time. I don't know if I can anymore it's been so damn hard." She said softly.
"I know Sarah, I know."
"Why don't we get outta here?"
"Great idea flyboy," she smiled up at him, as they turned to go, she wrapped her arms around his arm.
"Oh, and by the way...."
"Hmmm?" She looked up at him and their eyes met, sparks flying.
"I love you Sarah Mackenzie."
Mac smiled at her flyboy and said, "I love you too."
With that he kissed her with all the passion that had been churning inside of him since he saw her for the first time in The Rose Garden, when he released her it was to the sound of catcalls and much clapping and whistling throughout the bar.
They looked at each other and blushed slightly, and then they turned got there coats and left hand in hand. Harriet turned to her husband and said, "Looks like we were just in time to see the show."
With that Harriett kissed her husband.
