SMACked...Taken after Veritas...The Confession
A New story by MacsLovlyAngl
It's funny how sometimes in life it takes a life threatening event to force a couple to admit their love to each other.
I do not own these characters, just the story.
Chapter one
He was found. He had made it to a passing car, asking for help he informed her where he was. As she arrived, she ran over to him, whispering...
"Oh God, I found you. I thought I lost you Mac. I thought you were gone forever from my life."
Mac was floored. Never had seen Stella so emotionally upset.
"Give us a minute please."
"Sure Detective. I'll be over here."
"Stella what is wrong with you?"
"What is wrong with me. I thought I lost you Mac. I thought you'd never be in my life again. I thought I'd never get a chance to tell you...tell you..."
"Tell me what Stella?"
Looking deeply into Mac's handsome eyes, she whispered...
"To tell you that I love you. That I've always loved you Mac. That I've always been to afraid to tell you how I feel. But I don't care anymore. I can't do this again. I can't take the chance of losing you."
Mac knew this conversation needed to be continued, but he also knew he needed to find Joe.
"Listen to me Stella. I promise you. As soon as we find Joe, we will talk about this confession of yours. I promise you we'll explore it."
Taking his hand he caressed her face.
When the team found out where Joe was going to be from his wife. They set up a team, and waited for him to arrive. As Joe walked down towards his family, Mac nabbed him from behind. Taking him into custody, Mac was finally able to close the case, and concentrate on Stella's confession.
As he seen her walking by he called her ...
"Stella!! A moment please."
Stella didn't know why she was so nervous. But she was. Oh the things she said, the things she confessed.
"What is it Mac?" She said with a nervous smile.
"I was just wondering if you'd like to go to dinner tonight. We could explore this little confession of yours further."
"Umm...sure. Sound good."
"I'll pick you up at eight."
Leaving his office, Mac left a nervous Stella behind.
Arriving at home Stella showered, then dressed in black jeans and a white strapped t-shirt. Trying not to be nervous, she looked at the clock.
"Calm down Stella. No need to be nervous. This is just Mac here. Just calm down." She kept reassuring herself.
Knock,knock
Opening the door, Mac was leaning against the wall, with a sinister grin on his face.
"You ready Stella?"
"Mhmm.."
Locking her door they headed out to a little Cafe on 52nd street. As they walked along, Mac softly brushed her hand. Oh the heat she felt in his brush. It was sending little shivers through her body as she nervously continued to walk.
Mac was enjoying himself. He could tell she was nervous. He could tell the things she confessed today were weighing on her mind, with what he would say in response. Turning the corner, they reached the Cafe. Sitting down Mac ordered coffee for them both.
"What would you like to eat Stella?"
"Umm...hmm..maybe just a club sandwich."
Oh yeah. Mac was loving this, as she twisted her hands nervously.
"Is something wrong Stella? You seem a little nervous."
"No. Umm..everythings fine. Nice night isn't it?"
"I don't know, I find it kind of chilly tonight," he grinned as he continued to tease her.
"Listen Mac. About today...about the thin..."
"Yes Stella?"
"Oh God. I can't do this."
Pulling up her chair she tried to leave, as Mac grabbed her hand, and soflty brushed it with a fingertip caress.
"Where are you going Stella?" He whispered with the deepest of passion.
"Umm...I was...I think this was a bad idea."
"Why? Don't you want to be here with me Stella? Don't you want my answer to your confessions?"
Poor Stella. She didn't know what she wanted anymore. Mac's intent stare was distracting her thoughts.
"Sit down please Stella. I really want to hear your confession again," he whispered.
Sitting back down, she noticed Mac's eyes stayed on her every move.
"Stop staring at me like that Mac?"
"Like what stella?"
"Like you want eat me whole."
Laughing "Do I make you nervous Stella?"
"Here's you meal sir."
"Thank you."
Digging into his sandwich, he watched as Stella nervously played with hers.
"I ask you again Stella. Do I make you nervous?"
God the only thing he was making her now with that intent stare was hot.
"No Mac. You never use to make me nervous. But after my confession to you today I am."
"Why Stella?"
God why did he have to tease like this.
"Tell me your confession again. I'd like to hear all of it."
"Umm...To tell you that I love you. That I've always loved you Mac. That I've always been to afraid to tell you I feel. But I don't care anymore. I can't do this again. I can't take the chance of losing you."
Mac watched as she teared up. He had waited years for Stella to him how she truely felt. For so long he thought he'd be forced to live with his feelings in silence that he had for her.
"Would you like to hear my response to your confessions Stella? Let me tell you. I've also loved you for years. I've also kept my feeling hidden from you. Ever since Claire died and you were the one there for me. I felt all my feelings change towards you. I'm only sorry I never told you sooner. I'm sorry it almost took you losing me to realize how we both felt. But I don't want to hide it anymore either Stella."
Feeling her tears fall onto her face, she quietly sobbed. Getting up from his chair, Mac wrapped her in his arms. Pulling her up from seat, holding her, whispering to her soul that it was okay. That now that it was out in the open they could finally build a life together.
"I promise you Stella. from this day forward we will take our relationship one step at a time. neither one of us will move to the next step until we are both ready."
Paying for the food. Mac took her by the hand and lead her to the park. Sitting on the bench they began to talk.
End Chapter.
