Mac arriving at his house with a bag of chinese food places it on the table and heads to his room to shower and change clothes. "Mmmm my greek angel, one day we will meet, and i will love you til I can't love anymore." he says out loud to himself as he heads to the shower. Drying off and heading back into the room, he went to his dresser and pulled out a fresh pair of boxers then a pair of sweats, and a tank top. Sitting on the bed momentarily he glanced over at his bed stand table which stood a picture of him and Stella at last years Mayor's Ball. They had to come dressed somewhat fancy and a mask to cover their eyes...some kind of high society he called it. Never knew why Stella dragged him into it, but he didn't complain. After all he did have a good time, a few dances, real close dances which the whole team thought that this would finally be the moment where they got together. Never did they ever share a kiss, they came really close but neither of them had the guys to make the move. Both were too afraid that it'll ruin their friendship that they've had for over a decade. "Uhhh stella, were you really jealous of me chatting with someone online. I mean, you're chatting with some guy and im not jealous. Well at least i don't think i am, but i really do think i'm in love. You'll see, she's going to be good for me and this guy will be good to you." he says as he still stares at the picture of them. He had his arm around her waist and standing very close to her. Getting back up and placing the picture where it was he headed back to the kitchen to pour himself a beer and started eating his dinner. Tossing the rest in a container to eat tomorrow he headed to his laptop, sitting on the couch and turning it on the instant message quickly pops up

GreekAngel423:

It's about time handsome! I've been waiting for like forever.

SexyMarineMan317:

Sorry my love, if i would've known i would've skipped dinner and went on line sooner

GreekAngel423:

No its ok baby, i wouldn't want you to starve and die on me

SexyMarineMan317:

Baby? Hmm I like the way that sounds. I bet it'd sounds sexier from your lips, which i hope one day i can place a sensual kiss upon them.

GreekAngel423:

Wow my marine, you surprise me. You haven't yet met me and yet you want to do all these things to me. What if i'm not what you expect, I couldn't bare the pain of my heart being broken. It's been broken too many times that i'm still trying to mend the pieces together.

SexyMarineMan317:

I know how you feel my love, but i don't know what it is but something about you, it just feels right like if i've known you all my life.

GreekAngel423:

I feel the same way my marine, maybe we knew each other in our past lives or its just maybe a special connection we share

SexyMarineMan317:

It's really weird

GreekAngel423:

Well do i get to see what your sexy body looks like?

SexyMarineMan317:

Only if you tell me what your name is

GreekAngel423:

Deal. But you go first. I wanna see that sexy body of yours.

SexyMarineMan317:

Its not sexy, I mean i told you my age. I don't think mid 50's is sexy.

GreekAngel423:

I'll be the judge of that handsome

SexyMarineMan317:

Ok, i'll send you the invite to see me. Do you want to see the face behind the body too?"

GreekAngel423:

If you want to. I won't pressure you into it. You seem like you're too shy, i'm surprised that you're gonna do it

SexyMarineMan317:

Ok now it's getting creepy talking to you. Its like you know me too well, just like- uh never mind

GreekAngel423:

Do i remind you of your late wife by acting this way? Because if i do then i ask for your forgiveness, but i'm always curious and well very spontaneous

SexyMarineMan317:

No, not my wife, you remind me of, well- um my partner i work with her. She's known me for years and knows me like a book. I cant even lie and get away with it. But never mind that . You ready to see me?

GreekAngel423:

You know you don't have to. Its ok. I can resist a lil bit more. I was wondering though if your going to the Mayor's Ball? I heard he invites anyone who is anyone

SexyMarineMan317:

Ehh- I really don't know, my best friend dragged me to that last year, I didn't wanna go but it's part of my job.

GreekAngel423:

So she's a cop too?

SexyMarineMan317:

Well yea, I mean she's a CSI just like me. Actually she's my second in command, and I'm the head of the NY Crime Lab.

Back at Stella's apartment she finishes her glass of wine as she looks back at the computer and almost choked on the liquid substance.

"No, it can't be! It can't be Mac! I mean i've been talking to this guy for 6 months now. No- no way i have to find out." she says to herself as she quickly grabs her cellphone

SexyMarineMan317:

Hold on my love, someone is calling me.

Stella now looking at her computer screen opens her eyes in shock "Oh my God, i've been chatting with Mac all along…. Oh what do i do now. I- I mean wow i fell in love with the man i already loved all along. Oh and he said that he was in love with the person that he was talking to. That i reminded him of well me. He does think about me when he's alone. Oh Mac, how do i tell you it's me. Oh i can't, i just can't. I wanna talk to you some more like this. It's so exciting, it's a total different side to you mac, maybe i can get him to come to the ball with me again. I'll have to have him meet me in the middle of the dance floor or something." Realizing that she didn't block her number she quickly hung up.

Back at Mac's apartment he picks up his phone

"Taylor?"

Line goes dead

"Hello?" He tries again. Looking at the phone he seen the number and looks confused

"Stella?" he whispers quietly
