Harm sat down on the bed and very deliberately and very dramatically shut his eyes. Mac and Mattie looked at each other before Mattie went into another room to leave the two alone. Harm sat there munching on his doughnut with his eyes closed. Mac still hadn't moved from the bed.
"Are you going to change or are you going to sit there and watch me eat my doughnut with my eyes closed?" Harm asked.
Mac slid out from the covers on the other side of the bed and walked to her bag. Having felt Mac get out of the bed, Harm scooted up against the pillows and laid back. His eyes were still closed.
"What are you doing?" Mac asked. She had gotten out the clothes she wanted to change into, but she wasn't so sure about undressing with Harm in the room. It was weird.
"I'm just laying down for a minute, Mac. Look my eyes are still closed. See? And I'm still eating my doughnut." He took a large bite to show her that he was, in fact, eating his doughnut.
Mac looked at him suspiciously as she quickly exchanged her short shorts for pants. Before thinking of her shirt, she looked at Harm to make sure his eyes were still closed. Then she quickly put her bra on and pilled on her shirt.
Harm cracked his eyes open as she puled her shirt off. He gritted his teeth to keep from audibly groaning. He was looking at Mac, his partner, who happened to be naked from the waist up… until she put her bar on, followed by her shirt. He quickly squeezed his eyes shut so she wouldn't know he'd been looking.
"Harm!!" Mac said, alarmed.
Harm's eyes automatically popped open. "What?" he asked, thinking he'd been caught.
"You dropped your doughnut on the sheet! You…" She stopped. "Throw it away, eat it, just…get it off the sheets."
Harm looked properly chastised as he picked up the doughnut and tossed I in a waste basket. He turned to her with a charming smile. "Nice birthmark," he said cheekily. Louder, "Mattie! We're ready to go!"
Mac watched him go with a frown before realizing what that implied. "You said you would shut your eyes!" she yelled at his retreating back.
Mattie came into the room. "What was that?"
"He peeked!" Mac said with wide eyes.
Mattie smirked at her friend. "That was his plan all along. He's a man, you're a women. You changed in the same room… if he hadn't peeked, I'd be a little worried." She patted Mac on the shoulder. "It'll be okay, Mac."
Mac followed Mattie to Harm's vehicle, thinking. He peeked. Maybe she would return the favour at one point.
