I do not own anything

Thank you each and everyone who read, reviewed and added to alerts.

Maggie POV

Maggie wanted to get away as soon as possible from Hal. She could not handle it now. She wanted some fresh air. She assumed she could handle Hal Mason, well she thought so but to see she was wrong. Yep Margaret was very wrong about her feelings. Then there was Karen Hal's girl friend true she was taken by skitters but since then Ben came back she always believed that Karen could come back any minute. Maggie was not going to become a temporary lover to anyone even though she has feelings for this person. She waited there for like hours sorting out her mind & thoughts about Hal. Then it was her shift time for night patrolling. She let out an irritated sigh, which means meeting Hal Mason again. She has to face him eventually. She did want to be with him but it was very hard. He is always important to Maggie.

Hal and Maggie relationship was a strange one. Neither of them seemed to be aware that anyone else was around them or the world for that matter whenever they spend time together. Hal was acting different around Maggie and Maggie was the same. It was almost as if each other enjoyed fighting with each other. With time passed it was a great friendship even more interesting, the way Maggie was avoiding, arguing, when before, she could not wait to take a shot at Hal with her gun.

Maggie avoided Hal while they were on patrol. Hal on the other hand wanted to be around Maggie, which did not go un-noticed by Maggie but pretended as if. It was very funny to watch these two. When Maggie looks elsewhere, Hal is watching her, While Hal looks elsewhere Maggie watches him. If both meets eyes Hal smiles at Maggie & she turns her head.

Pope was one of the people hated to watch this lovesick. He surely would either shoot these two if they did not admit their feelings or he would lock them up with skitters until they admit it.

Dai was one of the people who supported them. One reason it was very cheery to watch them second these two deserved each other. It was one of the few good things happened inside second mass.

Since Hal made Maggie angry, she has avoided him but he would not give up not now when he was sure he was close to break her walls. He finally decided to meet Maggie and talk. It is now or never.

Maggie was with Dai and Ben. Hal walked to them. Without waiting, he took a seat next to Maggie. Ben knew something was going between his elder brother and Maggie. Ben liked Maggie a lot as a friend she was always around them. He knew how she helped Sara and even Anne when they needed someone. So if Ben has to play matchmaker for Hal and Maggie he did not mind.

"Hey guys." Hal greeted. Dai & Ben gave a nod and Maggie just gave a small smile.

Maggie was having a cup of coffee from the cup was on the table Hal took it started drinking which made Maggie annoyed and she growled which made Ben and Dai to laugh.

"Hey that was my coffee."

"Oops sorry. I did not notice you had your name on it." Hal smiled and replied.

Maggie looked at Ben and Dai who had this face with full satisfaction. She knew that if she leaves this place she they would think she cannot handle Hal. Well they are wrong and she will prove it to them.

"Well for one I was drinking it, second you took it purposely. See there are Ben and Dai cups as well then why did you take mine?" Bull's eye. She chuckled inwardly.

Hal looked at Maggie he was not expecting a question from Maggie like this not now.

"You had an empty seat just next to Ben why did you sit beside me? Hmm"

She continued. Hal was speechless. He knew she was getting to him but he was Hal Mason he will not lose.

"Well you know Maggie I always like to be around you. Since you did not move from the seat which makes me believe you like to stay close to me too." He said.

Maggie was loosing. She very well knew Ben and Dai were enjoying this a lot. Screw them screw her feeling for Hal. Screw all.

"You know what. Never mind you can have the seat, you can have the coffee. I am off here." She said and got up to leave.

Hal & others were not expecting her to leave not soon.

"Maggie come on, it was a joke." Hal followed her but she kept walking ignoring the guy who was chasing her.

"MAGGIE." He tried again.

She stopped and turned around to him, which made automatically stop Hal. She had a sad smile on her face.

"Yes Hal Mason what do you want to say?" She asked. Oh oh full name basis. I am in a big trouble. Hal thought.

"Maggie I just wanted to talk and say sorry for yesterday"

She smiled at him.

"It was nothing Hal, I was a little angry that was it. Forget it. I have already done." She smiled making Hal to better himself.

"But I thought you were angry. Okay anyway sorry about that. Look Maggie I really want to talk to you. Will you be busy after tonights shift? Around 8 o'clock?"

He asked. Maggie had nowhere to run or hide. Since both were partners he very well knew about her free time.

"Okay can do that. 8 o'clock it is" she said making Hal smile like an idiot.
