Will was out talking to Jim when Mac walked in carrying several packages and chatting on her phone with a smile on her face. The men watched her walk into her office. When she came out a few minutes later with her notebook she went into the conference room and sat in her normal chair, waiting for their four o'clock meeting.

She smiled at him when he walked in and sat in his chair across the table from her. "Did you have fun shopping," he asked.

"I did, actually. Macy's was having a great sale and they've just put out their swimwear."

"It's February, Mac."

"It is and what happens in two weeks?" she asked.

"President's Day and we have a three day weekend," he guessed.

"You are exactly right." She still hadn't come down from her shopping high.

"I'm guessing you aren't staying in town?" he teased.

She smiled at him. She enjoyed chatting with him. "I'm going for a spa/winter escape weekend with my friend Janice."

"Where are you going?"

"Sarasota. The flight leaves at eleven, giving me just enough time to get from here to home to pick up my things and make it to La Guardia."

He smiled at her. "I'm jealous, I want to escape winter, too."

"You should get out of town, maybe go golfing somewhere warm, that would be nice," she said.

"Maybe."

Wednesday before the holiday weekend

Mac was sitting in her office working when an email popped up on her screen. It was from her friend Janice. Janice was backing out of their trip due to a family emergency. Her mother had fallen and broken her hip. She apologized profusely for having to cancel on Mac.

Mac quickly answered her email explaining that she understood and that she hoped her mother was feeling better soon.

The question for Mac now became, should she still go?

Will knocked on her door. When she looked up he said, "you looked a million miles away. Everything okay?"

"You remember Janice was going to go with me this weekend?"

"Sure, to Sarasota. Did something happen?"

"Her mother broke her hip and Janice is trying to help take care of everybody."

"I'm sorry, Mac."

She shook her head. "It's okay, she's needed here. I'm trying to decide if I'm going by myself."

Thoughts were suddenly zipping along in Will's head. Would Mac go for it? Why not, he thought. "May I make a suggestion?"

"Certainly, please."

"Let me take Janice's place."

"Will…."

"No, Mac, hear me out, please."

She nodded. "It's spring training, pitchers and catchers have already reported. I'll pay for Janice's ticket and hotel costs. I can go watch the Orioles and you can do your spa thing, what do you think?"

"Are you sure you want to take Janice's place?" she asked secretly hoping that he really did. She'd love to spend their long weekend together.

"I'd love to. I'd get away from the snow and watch baseball, what's not to like? Will Janice sell me her ticket? Or should I purchase one, would that be easier?"

"Let's see if there are any tickets," Mac said looking at Delta's website. She put the times of her ticket and checked. "There's a first class seat available."

"Are you flying first?"

"Yes."

"Okay, will you please book me the ticket?" he asked reaching for his wallet.

"I know your number, I need the expiration date, though," she said.

He was taken back and looked at her until she looked up at him.

"What's wrong?" she asked.

"Why do you know my Amex number?"

She smiled at him. "Who do you think used to buy your relative's birthday and holiday presents and how do you think you paid for them?"

He hadn't thought about that, but that was years ago. "You still remember the number?"

"Unless it's changed."

"It hasn't. The expiration is July 2018. Thank you."

"You're welcome."

He got up and started to leave her office but once he was in the doorway he turned and asked, "will you go to a game with me?"

She smiled at him and said, "I'd love to, thanks."

He nodded at her and went back to his own office.

Will went online and got them tickets for Saturday night's game against the Red Sox and started looking at practice field locations.

Friday night after the broadcast Will quickly changed and met Mac for the ride to the brownstone so she could pick up her luggage. Will had brought his with him this morning, but he was also using a company car and driver. His current driver was nothing like Lonny, but since things had calmed down the insurance company had decided that a body on him wasn't necessary. They wanted him to be cautious and take care, but for now, no bodyguard.

Will followed her into the brownstone and helped her carry her things out to the car. Mac set the alarm and locked up the brownstone and got back into the car.

Their driver got them to La Guardia in plenty of time and they went to check in at the Delta gate.

"Do you want to wait in the Sky Club?" Mac asked as they made their way down the concourse.

"We might have time for a quick drink."

Once inside they were at the bar waiting for their drinks, chatting. "Thank you for coming along," Mac said.

"It's good to get away. We'll have fun. Thanks for letting me take Janice's place," he said touching her shoulder.

They were finishing up their drinks when their flight was called. Will threw down a tip and said, "let's go to Florida."

Mac smiled at him and picked up her bag and they walked to the gate area and waited in line to board.

They'd arranged to sit together when they checked in and luckily there weren't too many people in first class so they could sit together. "Do you want the window?" she asked, "would that be easier?"

"I'm okay on the aisle, but thank you," he said as he handed the Delta employee both of their tickets. It may have been easier to be next to the window but he was still a gentleman and he wasn't going to put Mac on the aisle where she'd possibly be bumped. When they reached the plane they found their seats and Mac went in first, taking the window seat. They got settled and Will crossed his legs toward Mac and turned toward her in hopes that it would keep people from recognizing him. She crossed her legs toward him and let their legs touch.

"Are you okay? You can have the window," she offered touching his arm.

"I am," he said and shrugged his shoulder.

She rubbed his arm and started chatting with him to take his mind off all the people walking by him. Normally, it didn't bother him but she wanted to make it as easy as possible for him.

A couple of other people joined them in first class. Their flight attendant asked if they'd like anything to drink.

"Mac?"

"A bottle of water, please."

"I'll take a Diet Coke, please."

Will pulled down his tray table and took the water and soda from the flight attendant and placed them on his tray.

"May we have a blanket?" Mac asked before their flight attendant left.

"Certainly, I'll be right back."

"Are you going to sleep?" Will asked.

"Not yet, I'm still too keyed up. But we both need to sleep some, it's a three hour flight."

Mac moved the armrest from between them and took the blankets and said, "thank you."

"Are you cold?" Will asked.

"I'm all right for now."

After everyone had boarded Mac took her water and placed it in her bag. Will gave his soda can and cup back to the flight attendant and they settled in. Will opened one of the blankets and spread it over Mac and part way onto his lap. Then he opened the other and placed it over himself. "Come here," he said to Mac.

She smiled and happily scooted closer to him and when he said, "it's okay," she rested her head on his shoulder.

He enjoyed feeling her resting against his shoulder, it was a pleasant weight and her hair smelled so good. After a few minutes he looked down at her and she'd already fallen asleep and he smiled to himself and rested his head back against the seat, closing his eyes.

When Mac woke up Will's head was resting against hers. The plane was beginning its descent into Sarasota and they'd slept the entire flight. She placed her hand on his chest and stroked him gently and said, "Will," quietly.

"Too early, Kenz."

She smiled at the use of his nickname for her. "Billy, come on, we're about to land," she said and rubbed his chest a bit harder.

He stretched and sat up, rubbing his eyes. Mac enjoyed watching him wake up. He leaned forward stretching his back. She rubbed his back while he was stretching and he turned his head and smiled at her. "Sleep okay?" he asked.

"Thanks for letting me use your shoulder."

"Any time," he said as they landed. "Do we have a rental car?"

"Yes and the agency is open twenty-four hours, there shouldn't be any problem."

Once they deplaned they made their way to the baggage claim area and waited for their luggage. Will was standing next to Mac and he thought that she looked like she was about to fall asleep standing up, so he moved closer to her and put his arm around her, allowing her to rest against him.

"Thanks," she mumbled into his shoulder.

They got their luggage and headed for the car rental agency. Mac gave them her name and filled out the paperwork for the rental, putting both of their names down as drivers. A shuttle took them to the rental, a convertible Mercedes-Benz.

"Want me to drive?" Will offered.

"Please," she replied, as he finished loading their bags.

Mac put their hotel's address into the GPS and Will drove them there. It wasn't too far of a drive and there was no traffic at three in the morning. Will parked at the hotel and they each were pulling their luggage behind them as they walked into the lobby.

Mac checked them in and took the two key cards, giving Will one of them. Mac looked like she was about to fall asleep again. They took the elevator up to their suite and Will opened their door. "Nice choice, Mac."

"Thanks. Come get in bed, we'll look around later," she mumbled half asleep before she dropped onto the king sized bed.

Will wasn't sure what was going on with them but the bed did look very comfortable. "Go change and I'll turn down the bed," he said.

Mac dug around in her suitcase until she found the t-shirt she wanted to sleep in and went into the bathroom. Will stripped down to his boxers and was lying in bed when she returned a few minutes later. He held up the covers for her and she was practically asleep before her head hit the pillow. He smiled at her and scooted down in bed.

When Will woke up Mac was asleep on her stomach. That told him exactly how much she needed this weekend away and the pampering she would get in the spa. She only slept on her stomach when she was extremely tired. He didn't want to wake her but he wasn't sure what time her first spa appointment was for the day. He quietly got out of bed and walked into the sitting area and called the spa, getting her appointment list. He then found her Blackberry and set the alarm, giving her enough time to wake up and have a cup of something before her appointment.

He wrote her a note explaining that he'd gone to the practice fields and that he'd call her and check in later. He added his thanks again for letting him come along and let her know that the game they were going to was scheduled for tonight. He signed the note simply with the name Billy and left it on his pillow so she'd see it when she woke up.

Mac did indeed see the note once she turned off the alarm on her Blackberry. She read the note and was smiling. She was very happy that he took Janice's place.

Mac was having a facial when she heard a text come in and when she checked, it was from Will, making sure she'd made her first appointment.

She texted him and asked how the practice was going and thanked him for making sure she was awake for the appointment.

He sent her a picture of the practice field with all of the players out warming up.

She texted, explaining that there was a dual massage set up for later in the afternoon and wanted to know if he wanted to take Janice's place. She was nervous about asking him but she'd hoped that he'd join her for the massage.

She shouldn't have worried at all. He texted her back saying that he'd love to take her place and that he was looking forward to the massage. He asked her to have lunch with him before the massage.

She replied that she'd meet him in the suite at 1:00.

Mac was already in the suite when he arrived. She was sitting in a big comfy chair on their balcony overlooking the ocean in a fluffy robe. He was dressed in shorts and a polo shirt and had loafers on with no socks. She loved casual Will. He looked as if he belonged in the Hamptons or the south of France.

"Hi," he said sitting down next to her.

She smiled at him and said, "Hi. There's a nice bottle of chardonnay, if you'd like a glass."

"Please."

She poured him a glass and handed it to him. He made sure to graze her fingers as she passed the glass to him. "Thanks. How was the morning at the spa?"

"It was very nice and relaxing. Did you get to watch the practice?"

"I did, they are looking good for it being so early. They are playing the Red Sox tonight." He took a sip of his wine and said, "this is good, what winery?"

"It's an Australian winery, Leeuwin Estate."

"It's very good, I'll have to add that to the wine closet. Have you had it before?"

"I have, actually, in England. What would you like to do for lunch, did you want to go out?"

"Do you mind if we have room service?" he asked. He really didn't want to share her with anyone this weekend, even strangers.

"That sounds perfect. I really didn't want to get dressed."

"What time is the massage?" he asked.

"At three and it's an hour massage."

"We can take a nap afterwards and then get up for the game. It doesn't start until seven."

"That sounds nice," she said getting up. He watched her walk into the suite and grab the menu and bring it back out to the balcony. He didn't think she had on anything under the robe, he could be wrong, but he didn't think so. He moved closer to her so he could read over her shoulder. She smiled when she figured out what he was doing. "Do you see anything you'd like?"

He made a hmmm noise and continued to look at the menu, or at least he'd hoped that she thought he was still looking at the menu when all he really was doing was being close to her. "I want something light, maybe a salad with shrimp, what about you?"

"I think a cobb salad."

"I'll place our order," he said taking the menu from her and walked in to call down for lunch.

They had a very nice lunch out on the balcony, watching the waves and enjoying the sunshine. When they came inside she noticed that he'd gotten a little sun on his face this morning. She pulled a tube of moisturizer from her bag and handed it to him. "Put some of that on your face, you got a little sun this morning."

"Thank you," he said and did as she suggested. When he went to hand the tube back to her she had gotten some sun on her face, too. She had such fair complexion it didn't take her long to get too much sun. He'd have to make sure she put on sunscreen when they went out to the game. "You've gotten some sun on your face, may I?" he asked holding up the tube. She nodded and he put a little on his fingers and rubbed it into her face and on her nose. He was very gentle and standing very close to her. "Okay, that should help."

She touched his arm and said, "thanks."

"You're welcome."

"You may want to change into a robe, that way you can leave your clothes up here," she suggested.

"Good idea. Right back."

When he returned they walked to the elevator and rode down to the spa. They were taken into a room with a view of the bay and were asked if they'd like anything to drink, they both declined. The massage therapists came in and introduced themselves and asked each of them what type of massage they'd like.

Mac requested a hot stone massage and Will agreed that that sounded good to him. The therapists asked them to take off their robes and to lie face down on the tables. Mac took off her robe, as Will did and he caught a glimpse of her as she lay down. The therapist put a towel over her butt and went to prepare the stones. When she looked over at Will he already had a towel over his. She was almost positive he had on boxers, though.

Mac's therapist came in and started working on her back. Mac moaned and said how good that felt. She had Will's attention the second she moaned.

She heard him grunt and turned her head to look at him and watched his reactions. He opened his eyes and smiled at her. "Oh, God," she moaned when the therapist put the hot stone on her back.

"Too much?"

"God, no, that feels great."

Will could feel his cock getting hard.

After the therapists had worked on their backs they placed more stones on their backs and said to rest for a few minutes and they'd be back to start on their front sides.

"Do you feel as good as I do?" Mac asked.

"God, yes. It's been so long since I've had a massage."

"They are more fun together, though."

"I agree," he said, opening his eyes and looking at her. He could see the side of her breast and the towel was just barely coving her ass. He needed to calm himself down, but with her less than five feet away from him moaning, he wasn't sure that was even possible.

"Are you okay?" she asked.

"Kenz…."

"What's wrong, Billy?"

"I can't lay here and listen to you and not react."
