A Walk In The Park
The reflection from the moon highlighted the blonde curls in her hair. Her face looked so smooth as if it was made of porcelain
her rose coloured lips were slightly parted, and her hands were moving so gently as if to preserve everything around her.
He admired her for who she is, he respected for always being so strong no matter what. He loved her.
This case had been especially hard, and it had taken its toll on all of the team members, two bodies found in a dumpster behind a restaurant. Yet here outside, in the cold, crisp New York air, she looked so beautiful
"Hey Stel" Mac said as her walked towards her "Do you want to go for a walk?"
Stella could see the hopefulness in his eyes "Sure, where do you want to go?"
"Anywhere, its up to you"
"Okay let me just go to the bathroom and I'll be right out"
After she left, Mac could still detect the scent that Stella left behind everywhere she went, that was one of the things Mac looked forward to smelling when he woke up each morning.
As she came back out with a smile on her face, Mac could do nothing else except smile back at her.
As they were walking through Central Park, it was so quiet at this time of night anyone there should have noticed the way they were walking, hands nearly touching, walking so close together that you could have mistaken them for a married couple.
Mac stole a glance at Stella, and then he knew why he loved her so much, they way she smiled at him, the way her curls bobbed up and down when she walked the way the could argue, but then make up in a instance,
they way she never backed down. He loved her because she was Stella, no one else was quite the same, not even Claire. At times he felt he was betraying Claire by loving Stella, but then he remembered that she wouldn't have wanted him to be miserable for the rest of his life, and that makes him feel better.
Noticing the strange look he was getting for Stella, he realized he was still looking at her. Feeling awkward he looked away. Then he had an adrenaline rush,
he had to tell Stella how he felt, after Claire died he realized how short life was, there was no point in waiting to tell her...
"Stel" he began "i dont know how to say this but everyday i see you..."
Stella interrupted him and placed a finger on his lips, then soon enough her finger was replaced by her lips, the kiss was so short that Mac didn't even have time to kiss her back.
"Stella...wow...erm...OK"
"shh" she whispered
then once again the lips joined, and Mac was able to kiss her back this time and show her that he loved her, and she returned the favour.
"I think that explains it, dont you?" Stella stated
"I didnt think you felt that way Stella"
"Ever since i met you, i have loved you, then after Claire died, I thought nothing would happen, but I guess I was wrong" She said with a smile tugging at the corners of her mouth.
"I love you with all my heart Stella and I will protect you till I die."
"I love you too Mac, now i think we had better get back to the lap before they think we have gone and eloped or something"
With a little chuckle, mac grabbed Stella's hand and entwined his fingers with hers and they walked back to the lab.
"Do you think we should tell them?" Questioned Stella
"No, I think we should test their CSI skills and see how long it takes for them to figure it out"
"Okay" Said Stella laughing...
And they walked off, with the sunrise reflecting on a little pond making it look as if there were a million little fireflies dancing on the water.
