It had been a long day at the office. Most of the staff was coming down with some kind of flu and the workload seemed to continually pile up. The day seemed to drag by. In the break room about an hour before leave time Commander Harmon Rabb noticed that his best-friend (and girlfriend) Lt. Colonel Sarah MacKenzie had been sluggish all day. And decided to try to make her feel a little better.

**************************

They were taking a break from their briefs and decided to have a cup of coffee. Harm reached up into the cabinet and handed Mac her USMC mug and reached again for his Naval Academy mug. She had made a fresh cup of coffee and poured the hot liquid into their mugs. Harm reached for the sugar as Mac reached for a spoon. He poured half of the container in the USMC and put a teaspoon in his. Mac stirred her coffee and then licked the spoon and then went to stir Harm's coffee. *I love when she does that,* thought Harm. The scene was second nature to them. They had their own rhythm and it was beautiful.

"Hey Mac, are you ok?" he asked, checking up on her. "Yeah, just tired. I hope I'm not catching that bug that's going around," she replied. "How about we take our work over to your place and I'll make you some chicken noodle soup? We can discuss closing arguments and then maybe watch some t.v. or something (he smiled and winked)," he says trying to cheer her up a little. "That sounds great," she said with a hidden smile.but he could see the light in her eyes, "Well good, we'll get a little more work done and then head out," he said finalizing their plans.

*****************

Once at the apartment Harm headed into the kitchen to put the soup on (Grams recipe). Mac headed into her bedroom to change into something a little more comfortable (USMC sweats and NAVY t-shirt, which she stole from Harm ages ago). As she walked into the living room he walked into the bedroom. As he passed her he slapped her on the butt and chimed, "GO NAVY, HOORAH!" which got a smile out of her. He went over to his duffel on the floor (which he left there "in case of an emergency") and changed into NAVY sweats and a USMC t-shirt that Mac bought for him as a joke on his birthday).

Home of Lt. Colonel Sarah MacKenzie

While the soup was on the stove Harm and Mac had concluded their closing arguments and prepared their finals notes to the Admiral the following mornings staff call. They ate in companionable silence for a while, occasionally talking of nothing in particular, but catching special glances. Mac went to clear her bowl from the table and went over to Harm and gave him a quick kiss on the lips, "That was wonderful, Grams has such a great recipe!" and went over to start on the dishes. "Sarah, why don't you let me take care of cleaning up tonight, you go and make yourself comfortable and let the soup kick in." This idea won him another kiss.

As he finished up the dishes he noticed that the lights were turned down in the living room and a light glow was emanating from the room. He went and stood in the doorway and watched as Mac lit scented candles all over the room. He couldn't take his eyes off of her. He loved the fact that she was tall, but still had to stand on her tiptoes to light the candles on the mantle. All of a sudden a melody came to his mind, and it fit the mood perfectly.

When you light those candles,

Up there on the mantle, settin the mood.

He walks over to the couch and sits down as Mac continued throughout the room.

Well, I just lay here staring,

Silently preparing, to love on you.

She looks over at him with a glow in her eyes. Those deep brown orbs, so passionate, they speak volumes. Harm always knew that Mac was different the most women. They had a silent understanding. They knew where the other was at all the times, they knew if the other was in danger, and they could speak to each other just through the emotions in each others eyes.

Well, I can feel the heat from across the room.

Ain't it wild what a little flame can make you wanna do.

She blows out the flame from the match and walks over to him. She asks him to dance, "Sing to me Harm," she pleads with love in her eyes as they sway back and forth.

I melt, every time you look at me that way.

It never fails, anytime, anyplace.

This burn in me's the coolest thing that I've ever felt.

I melt.

She lays her head at the crook of his neck. Their hands are entwined and resting on his chest, she can feel his heartbeat. She looks up into his eyes and traces kisses from his mouth down his throat. She plays with the short hairs at the base of his neck, which sends chills throughout his body.

Don't know how you do it.

I love the way I lose it, every time.

Harm looks down at the beauty before him. He lifts her chin and gives her a feather light kiss, "Do you know how much I love you?" he asks. "Yes." she responds, "and do you know how much I love you?"

* I can't believe how truly daft I can be sometimes. For eight years this woman had my heart and soul, but I could never tell her how I felt. Now that she knows how I feel I'm positive that I love her even more and will so for eternity. The same eternity that she once thought it would take for this thing to happen with us. *

What's even better

Is knowing that forever, you're all mine.

* She has that look in her eye. The one that makes my knees weak. The one that she knows will totally win me over. The one that makes me do almost anything for her. I know where this is going to lead. And it is a beautiful thing. *

The closer you get, the more my body aches

One little stare from you is all it takes.

Mac steps out of Harm's embrace, but he doesn't worry. She never takes her eyes off him. She walks over to the mantel and starts to blow out all of the candles. Harm can feel a rush of heat flow through him. He can hardly stand. She has such power over him. * No wonder she's a kick ass Marine. * She heads for her bedroom and beckons for him with her finger. He is right behind her and the song is still playing in his head.

I melt, every time you look at me that way.

It never fails, anytime, anyplace.

This burn in me's the coolest thing that I've ever felt.

I melt.

Every time you look at me that way.

I melt, I melt.

They were perfect together. They were completely in sync. They are soul mates.

A/N: You know what to do.R&R.let me know.preferably the good. It's just fluff.no real substance. I might have a continuation.
