For the Love of Bewilderment: A New Kind of Love Story
Chapter Seven-Whenever you say go, I'm all game
When you make a commitment to a relationship, you invest your attention and energy in it more profoundly because you now experience ownership of that relationship.
Mac smirked as she entered Dick's room. Dick was sprawled diagonally on his bed, with everything except the sheet kicked off the bed, which lay dangerously close to his hips, showing off that he was indeed naked. He looked so innocent and cute laying there, his chest rising and falling with each breath. He had a smile on his face and his left arm was resting under his head while his right hand with the cast was pointing the other direction away from his body. She saw his smile grow bigger and decided to walk over to him and surprise him.
Mac softly climbed on the bed and lay lushly against him and folded her arms under her chin and laid a kiss on his chest. She chuckled when he moaned softly, and did it again, but added pressure from her tongue right above his nipple; that made him stir. She smiled and laid her head sideways on top of her arms again when she saw his eyes open tiredly. "Whatcha dreamin' about?" She asked.
Dick smiled and brought both his hands to his face to wipe the sleep off and ran them through his hair afterwards. "Hey babe," He wrapped his left arm around the bottom of her back.
"Hey," Mac whispered before she lowered her head to kiss him sweetly on the lips. "Good morning," She kissed him again, and again, and again before he started to chuckle. "What?" She asked as she pulled back.
"Can you wake me up every morning like this? Like be my personal alarm? I like you better than the annoying thing over there." Dick jolted his head to the generic alarm clock radio by the bed.
Mac just smiled. "Anything for my injured hero," She started kissing his chest again before once again lowering her head to her arms.
He began tracing crazy-eights on her back, wishing he could feel her skin not the fabric separating them. That's when he realized he was completely naked under the sheets. "Uh, Mac, I am not fully clothed under here…you might wanna get up so I can go grab some clothes real fast."
"No, I am good," Mac mumbled against her arm.
Dick chuckled before wrapping his arms around her tighter and kissing the top of her head. "What do you want to do today?"
Mac brought her head up on her arms again and pursed her lips, deep in thought. "Well, my sweet, sweet mother wants to take me dress shopping this morning. My aunt is getting married in a few weeks and my mom thinks it would a perfect time to bond and talk about the C word." Mac groaned.
Dick frowned and placed a kiss on her head again. "I am sorry baby, do you, want to talk about it, him, with me?" He rubbed her back lovingly, to show her that he was there for her.
Mac shook her head, causing her hair to flip to the right. "Not really, but thanks. I rather not ruin the moment." She smiled.
"Yeah, but I am always here though you know that right?"
Mac mumbled a 'yes' and then she got up to sit right beside Dick. "I was thinking, maybe, you don't have to or anything, but would you mind being my date to the wedding?" Mac pushed some hair behind her ear and fumbled with her hands, clearly nervous.
Dick loved seeing her like this and sat up. "Of course, I would love too. But, if you catch the bouquet and I catch the garter you know what that means." Dick wiggled his eyebrows and lifted Mac onto his lap and thrust upwards, revealing how aroused he was.
"What?" Mac gasped as he started to kiss his way down her jaw.
"We get freaky, duh." Dick murmured against her skin, sending vibrations across her chest.
"Really?"
"Definitely." Dick nodded and then lowered Mac onto her back and rubbed his hand across her stomach, pushing her shirt up slightly to touch her soft creamy skin he loved too fucking much.
"Dick," Mac mumbled, word processing was becoming harder. "Logan is in the living room,"
Dick looked down at her and nodded. "Yeah, how about that whole getting dressed thing now, huh?" He said and got up, not caring that he was butt naked, and walked over to his dresser to grab some boxers and slipped them on quickly and some sweats. Then he returned to the bed and pulled Mac up into his arms.
"When do you have to meet your mom?" Dick asked as he rocked them slowly back and forth in the middle of his room.
"In an hour, I just wanted to stop by and see you." Mac whispered the last part, still feeling bashful although she shouldn't because she had just lain on top of a naked Dick. She laughed at that last thought, a naked 'dick'.
"Well, I appreciate it Mackie. Want me to order some breakfast up before you go?" Dick released Mac from his arms to walk out in the living room where Logan was sitting and watching TV.
"Nah, I gotta meet her for breakfast. But thanks," Mac smiled and yanked on the drawstrings of Dick's sweats and looked up at him momentarily, both of them just getting lost in each other's eyes and smiling.
"Seriously, you two are really starting to make me rethink the whole eating my breakfast." Logan shook his head and looked down at his Captain Crunch cereal.
"Shut up dude, have you ever taken a look at you and Ronnie?" Dick counter back, rubbing Mac's back and then walking to the fridge where he almost grabbed a beer, but then put it back to grab two waters. "You two are the poster children for PDA."
Mac smirked, they were.
"Well, if we are that then you are the puppies in luv…" Logan said as he got up and drank the rest of his milk from the bowl before setting it on the coffee table.
Dick rolled his eyes and turned to Mac. "Text me when you're done shopping." Dick did his best Valley girl imitation before kissing her sweetly on the lips and walked her to the door.
"Okay, later." Mac smiled and waved goodbye to Logan.
"Mac goes shopping?" Logan asked as he walked to his room and grabbed his laptop.
"Ha, yeah that's what I was thinking but her aunt is going to be getting married soon and Mackie's mom wants to bond with her over shopping for dresses and what not." Dick chuckled then grinned. "I am her date to the wedding,"
Logan returned into the living room and saw Dick grinning like an idiot. "Dude, seriously I don't want to throw up this morning."
"Ass, seriously stop it."
"Whatever dude, how's the hand?" Logan asked as he clicked through some emails.
"A little better with the meds, which reminds me," Dick walked over to the cabinets over the fridge and grabbed his pain meds and down a pill with his water. "My woman is amazing, she woke me up this morning and yeah, nothing can beat that."
"How about having a woman naked and besides you in the morning?" Logan lured while still checking out his email.
"Whatever dude, I am fine and shut the hell up and mind your own god damn business." Dick threw his water bottle at Logan's back and headed to his shower.
Logan just laughed.
"Hi darling," Natalie greeted her daughter with a big hug. "It's like I rarely get to see you these days."
Mac rolled her eyes. "What are you going to do when I head off to college?"
"You will still visit," Natalie shrugged. "Let's head in so we can eat."
Mac nodded, already hating the day so far and really missing Dick.
After they both ordered their breakfast, Mac was sipping on her water, hoping that maybe if she just kept sipping and looking at anything but her mother that maybe, just maybe, she wouldn't be asked about Cassidy.
"So, how are you doing? Have you thought about him lately? You can always talk to me about it honey."
Too freaking late. "Um actually no mom I haven't but thanks." Mac looked out the window towards the beach.
"Cindy,"
"Mother," Mac rolled her eyes.
Natalie frowned at her daughter, and looked pissed. "Don't do that, Cindy. Don't mother me! You don't tell me anything and I just worry. We worry. And I can get that you might not want to talk about it, not to me, but you need to at least let me know how you are, so I don't feel completely useless."
"I'm broken." Mac answered honestly. "I've felt better. But I'm ok. I'm piecing myself back together. But, you're right; I don't wanna talk about it yet. I might never want to." She was speaking softly, looking down at her shoes. "I am in the middle of a storm, mom. I can't be better yet. And I can't tell you where I'm at because I don't know. It'll take time."
"Alright. Thank you." Her mom nodded. "Do you have someone you talk to? Do you want to see someone?"
"Mom! I don't want a shrink! I'm not the one who needed it." Before her mom could blew up at her she added. "I have someone to talk to."
"Is it Veronica?"
"No. ... Well, yeah. But no."
Natalie frowned. "You're confusing me. Who is it?"
Mac took a deep breath and looked away, better rip off the bandage quickly. "I'm, sort of, dating his brother."
"What!?"
Mac closed her eyes, waiting for the yelling to start. She could already picture her mom using all the metaphors in the world to tell her she was a slut, because Natalie Mackenzie never swore. She could already see her asking her how she could move on so fast.
"How did that happen? My god, my daughter, what's on your mind?"
"Mom..."
"How do you know he's not like his brother?" She snapped her mouth shut quickly, knowing how unfair and mean it sounded. She felt even worse when Mac looked up with icy eyes.
"How do you know I'm not?" Mac huffed and looked away. "All we know about him is that no one ever knew how he was. But don't you dare take it out on Dick."
Natalie brought her hand to her daughter's cheek. "Sweetie..." She pleaded.
Mac jerked her chin out of her mother's touch and resumed walking. "How about we find that damn dress?"
Defeated, Natalie followed and they strolled in the mall for a while in silence. Mac felt her anger flow back and spoke softly again. "Mom, I just. I'm not happy, but he makes me smile. We're healing."
Natalie nodded. "As long as you're ok."
"I will be."
She knew her mom didn't like it, but she was accepting it, and that was all that matter for her for now.
Mac knocked on the suite's door and waited patiently for Dick or Logan to open up. When Veronica opened the door Mac blushed. "Mac? What are you doing here?"
Mac twisted the ring on her finger and let herself in and smiled to Dick before turning to Veronica. "Just figured you were all here and I was bored and need some serious fun time after spending the entire day with my mother, God help her…" Mac exasperated before plopping down next to Dick who, shielded by Mac's purse and body, caressed her upper thigh before leaning forward for the remote to turn the TV volume down.
Veronica stared at Mac and then at Dick and smiled. "Did you two seriously think I wouldn't find out?"
Dick and Mac froze and turned to Veronica who was enjoying the scene way too much. "What…what do you mean?" Mac stuttered and felt Dick grabbed her hand.
"Mac," Veronica smirked.
Mac took a deep breath. "Okay so Dick and I are dating. Correction: been dating…for about a week now…"
Veronica blinked. "Not what I was thinking, but that doesn't matter now. What the French toast Mac? Dick? Seriously?"
Dick yelled, "Hey!" Wearing an offended look. "Dude, Ronnie," Dick raised his free hand. "Right here."
"Mac I knew you two shared something while I was in New York but I didn't think…I had no idea it was…"
"Real?" Mac whispered hurt.
"No, that's not what I thought. I just, I just didn't…I just didn't think is what I did." Veronica smiled. "I am sorry for over reacting."
"Trust me; you could have over reacted a little more than that. You're fine Ronnie just don't yell at Mac." Dick stood up, pulling Mac up with him. "Now that that's settled, I am going to take my girlfriend to my room while you two horn dogs go at each other."
"What makes you think we are going to go at each other like horn dogs?" Veronica asked Dick.
Dick turned his head around, halfway to his room with Mac. "Oh, because you two always do that after you get into a fight."
"What makes you think we are going to get into a fight?" Logan asked.
"Oh well, I was figuring since you knew about us two a whole four days before Ronnie here did, that might constitute as some 'epic' battle you two are gonna revisit right about now." Dick shut his door shut.
Veronica raised her eyebrows as she turned to face Logan with a look of 'What the Fuck?'
"I love you." Logan smiled as Veronica laughed.
"Veronica is so going to be pissed at Logan." Mac giggled as she walked over to Dick's bed.
"Yeah, but they will be just fine, it's what they do. If they didn't do that I think I'd be worried." Dick looked towards his door and chuckled when he heard Veronica yell, 'Seriously Logan? What freaking happened to communication?'
"I remember her talking about that…it seems our pal Logan isn't up to beat with the whole commutation ideal." Mac smiled as Dick walked towards her.
"I am good with communication aren't I?" Dick asked as he lay down next to his girlfriend.
Mac tilted her chin and cocked an eyebrow.
"I mean, if you set aside the leaving for Mexico thing," Dick moved his hand.
"Yeah, I guess so," Mac shrugged and lied down next to him as well.
"You guess so? Want me to prove it to you?" Dick started to kiss his way up her arm. "I am going to sweet talk you right now then we will make out for one point five hours before you will yawn and say you are tired and need to go but, I will convince you to stay a while longer. I have tomorrow's evening planned out as well, want me to communicate with you on that too?" He was now lightly blowing air on Mac's neck as he kissed his way up to her mouth.
Mac was quivering under his touch but shook her head no. "Nah, I believe you now. No need for ANY more talking." Mac smiled and started kissing him.
"I'm fine by that!" Dick shrugged slightly and started to kiss Mac hard, but slow while running his hands up and down her back.
Mac giggled and then shrieked when Dick pushed her backwards and started to tickle her while still kissing her.
The next day Dick was throwing on some slacks and I nice button up shirt. "Where are you going dressed like that?" Logan asked Dick when Dick walked out of his room.
"To Ronnie's. I need to ask her to help me with something. " Dick answered while lacing up his shoes.
Logan chuckled a little before sitting on the couch across from him. "And what? You thought if you looked like a freaking Abercrombie model that she would just help you? You should get to know Veronica a little better Dick." Logan smirked.
"No, asswipe, I am going in for an interview with Hearst afterwards."
"You're going to Hearst?" Logan asked not blinking for he was in shock.
"Yeah dude, I want to go there since you and Ronnie are going there plus my girl is. I just think that would be the best choice ya know?" Dick finished with his shoes and jumped to his feet.
Logan nodded. "Well, I am happy dude, seriously. I could not be happier to have you there. And I bet Mac is happy."
"Actually she doesn't know yet, I want it to be like a surprise or something. Plus I don't know if they are going to even accept me since its like kinda late enrollment." Dick bit his lip. "Which if I do get in that leads me to the reason why I am going to need Ronnie."
Logan nodded for Dick to continue.
"I still feel like a jackass about the Mexico incident, dude, she was so hurt. Ah, I couldn't take it. I apologized and she accepted and forgave me and all and we made up but,"
"You still feel like the jackass?"
"Exactly." Dick nodded and pointed his keys at Logan. "I want to do something really special for Mac. The last date we were on was the concert and we weren't together yet. So, I am going to put a date thing together to surprise her and I don't further prove to her that I am sorry and what not. I can tell she is still hurt."
Logan nodded, smiling at his friend. Dick was changing. Usually he wouldn't give a rat's ass about someone but here he was, about to orchestrating some big ole evening for Mac. Wow. "Well, let me know if you need any help with anything, kay?"
"Sure thing L. Thanks." Dick nodded and left.
"Things are a changing…" Logan laughed and turned on the TV.
"Dick?" Veronica asked as she opened her door.
"Ronnie!" Dick gave her his best 'knock 'em dead' smile.
"What do you want?" Veronica asked, still not moving out of the way for Dick to walk inside.
"I need your help." Dick blurted out.
"Remember I told you, when you put gas in your car you have to take that cap off first."
"Not cool Ronnie. Seriously, I need help. Yours specifically." Dick pointed at Veronica.
Veronica squinted her eyes at Dick, trying to figure out what he was up to and if he did something dumb or stupid. Or if he hurt Mac. "You didn't hurt her did you?"
"What? Mac? NO! Jesus Veronica, just let me inside!" Dick yelled.
"Alright fine but if you break it you buy another one for us. Us Mars' people don't make much like you big money makers." Veronica told Dick as she made her way over to the kitchen.
"Whoa, is that like a kitchenette over there? Sweet." Dick furrowed his brows. "I think it is bigger than mine and Logan's kitchenette."
"Cause ours is an actual kitchen! Okay on with what you are going to ask me for help with that I may or may not decide to waist my charity hours on." Veronica sat on one of the barstools and crossed her legs.
"Okay right, I am going to lend you one of my credit cards,"
"You mean your daddy's credit card,"
Dick sighed. "Yes. I am going to lend you one of Big Dick's credit cards and I need you to pick something out for Mac to wear tonight. Something casual but nice. I am thinking something green, green looks awesome on her. It can be a dress or whatever just something nice. You know her size and everything and I want it to be a surprise. She cannot know you are doing this okay V?" Dick raised his eyebrows.
Veronica looked at him for a minute wondering what this was all about but decided against asking figuring she would get a headache trying to understand him. "Got it. Secret. Now when do you need this green outfit by?" She asked as she grabbed her purse.
"By four this afternoon?"
Veronica nodded. "Okay. This is weird Dick but I am not going to ask okay? Just don't ever, ever hurt Mac or trust me, I WILL hurt you."
"Trust me, if I hurt her again I will ask for your taser and personally hurt myself." Dick said as he pulled out one of his ten credit cards and laid it on the counter before letting himself out. "Thanks Ronnie, I mean it. You can be awesome sometimes."
Veronica opened her mouth to say "Again?" But decided to leave it alone after seeing the look Dick had in his eyes and she could tell that this more than a mere summer fling, that Mac was really important to Dick.
Veronica looked down at the credit card Dick handed her. "Time to go shopping!"
Dick walked out of the enrollment building at Hearst with a huge grin on his face. He was officially a fall semester Hearst student.
Now on to the floral shop.
Once Dick got to the floral shop he walked in and found a person to help him with picking out the perfect flowers for Mac.
"Do you know her favorite flower?" The lady asked.
If I did, do you think I'd be asking you? Seriously. Dick thought before shaking his head no.
"Can I suggest maybe doing something like with all the flowers? We call it an Everything Bouquet."
Real original. "Um, that sounds nice. Let's do that." Dick nodded and stepped back while the lady gathered up more flowers that he had ever seen in his life and pulled them into the perfect arrangement.
"Would you like them in plastic or a vase sir?"
"Vase please, your finest." Dick smiled.
The worked smiled and went into the back to grab a vase. When she came out with the vase Dick smiled. The vase totally screamed Mac.
"Thank you ma'am." Dick thanked the lady politely and handed over his credit card to pay for the bouquet.
Next stop: Mac's casa.
Mac was sitting on the couch in the living room watching some game show and being bored out of her mind. She wanted to call Dick but she didn't want to seem like a clingy girlfriend. When she heard the doorbell ring she jumped up, any kind of excitement was starting to grab at her. After she opened the door she didn't see anyone and then looked down and gasped, bringing her hand to her mouth. The most beautiful, biggest, floral bouquet she had ever seen in her entire life.
As she opened the screen door as well she noticed her hand was trembling.
The vase was beautiful; reddish purple color and simple model and sleek. "Oh my god," She whispered to herself.
She picked it up and noted how heavy it was and that there was a small red envelope with 'Mackie' written across the front. She was wondering who it was from, she knew it had to be from Dick. No one called her Mackie except him.
'I didn't know your favorite. Be ready tonight around seven for an evening with Dick.'
Mac smiled and ran her fingers over the writing.
"Mac who is that for?"
Mac jumped slightly and turned around to face her mother. Sighing she cleared her throat. "It is from Dick." Mac didn't know why but she just stood there, almost like seeing what her mother would say next.
"Oh, well how nice of him." Natalie smiled and walked back into the kitchen.
Mac rolled her eyes and walked to her room, smiling at her flowers.
An outfit for Mac, clothes for Mac. Your best friend Veronica, come on you know what she'd like. Veronica gave herself a pep talk before walking into a clothing store. She looked at a few dresses before finding a beautiful knee length forest green T-back dress with sleeves that would drape nicely on Mac's shoulders. The price was around two-hundred dollars but having the luxury of using Dick's money Veronica didn't feel as guilty as she normally would.
After buying the dress she walked next door to a shoe store and bought a pair of peep toed heels that the color matched the dress' almost too perfectly then she went to Victoria secret to buy some other things like perfume and some lotion. She had faith in Mac that she had a strapless bra.
As she was walking out to her car she dialed Dick's number. On the third ring he picked up.
"Dickster at your service."
"That is all kinds of wrong." Veronica said while unlocking her car and unloading all her bags into the back seat.
"Ah, Ronnie, finished shopping for my Mackie?"
"Hey, she is mine too you know, you have to share her." Veronica teased. "But yes I am done. What do I need to do now?"
"If you could stop by the suite and we can wrap them up in something and then I will take them to Mac's house."
"Okay, but I thought this was supposed to be like a secret." Veronica furrowed her brows.
"Oh well I just ring the doorbell and run off to hide on the side of the house."
Veronica shook her head, laughing quietly. "Alright be there in a minute."
When Veronica arrived at the Grand she went up to the suite like Dick instructed. She would allow Dick to see what she picked out for Mac, since the whole night was about surprises. Dick groaned, wanting desperately to see the dress.
"No Dick." Veronica slapped his hand away from the white box.
Dick pouted.
"Besides, it'll look tons better on her than not." Veronica smiled to herself before she turned around and glared at Dick. "Don't say it. You know what I meant." Veronica went back to tying a green bow around the box. "Done," She stood proud. Then realized she basically did everything for Dick. "You know, I did everything for you…I think I should be going on this date with her instead of you." Veronica teased as she did a few finishing touches on the other boxes.
"Well, I wouldn't have a problem with that." Dick smirked then backed away so Veronica couldn't hit him. "Kidding!" Dick walked back over to Veronica and laid one arm around her shoulders. "Thanks Ronnie, really."
Veronica smiled and brought her hand around to Dick's back and patted him. "You're welcome Dick. Just be good to her okay? That's all I ask. I know who you used to be, first hand, she hasn't had that luxury."
Dick nodded, understanding that Veronica wasn't trying to be rude, just looking out for her friend. "I know, but seriously, I have changed."
"I know you have but I just felt I was obligated to say that." Veronica giggled and gathered up her things and gave Dick his card back.
"Actually, go buy something for yourself okay? Take it as thanks for all of this." Dick flew his hands around the bed at all the while and black boxes for Mac.
Veronica smiled, and put the credit card back into her wallet before walking out of the suite.
Mac was in her room just browsing through the new music on iTunes when she heard the doorbell ring, since her mother had left to go to the store for dinner and her brother and father were out at his baseball practice, Mac jumped up quickly and ran to the door.
When she opened it she was greeted with no one at the door and almost smiling to herself she looked down on the doormat and almost fell over with all the boxes and bows. "What the…" She said to herself and opened the screen door.
It took her two trips out to the front porch to gather up all the boxes. There were five boxes that were black, white or a pale green and had either white bows or green. She decided to open the biggest box first. She gasped as she pulled back the light pink tissue paper and saw the beautiful dark green fabric. She held it up from the collar and saw that it was a dress with the fabric cut out at the top, middle collar bone and had slight oversized sleeves, her favorite. She guessed it was about knee length. After being mesmerized by it, she laid the dress back into the box and carefully pushing the tissue paper back down and picking up the black box.
A pair of ever-green peep toed heels was in there. She loved them. They were perfect!
She started to think about who shopped for her, it couldn't have been Dick, or could it? If it was then she was going to have a talk with him about his sexuality.
She laughed and grabbed the small white box and opened it, revealing two small bottles of Love Spell lotion and perfume. It boggled her, what was this all about? She thought, but still opened the next box. She brought her hand to her mouth when she saw the most beautiful necklace ever. It was silver with a solid apple that hung low with several small diamonds covering it. She almost fell over at the diamonds, no one, not even her parents, had spent that much on her, ever. She was almost scared to open the last small box but she did anyway. The box held a pair of dangle earings, silver like the necklace, and was simple with a single line like a bar the dropped down and curved slightly at the end. "Wow,"
She figured she was to wear this outfit for her 'evening with Dick' she shook with that thought. Just the simple fact that Dick did all of this for her amazed her. She wouldn't dare allow herself to think it or say it out loud but she was fairly certain that she was starting to fall for Dick, hard, like love hard.
He had been so sweet lately, even after the Mexico thing, and she meant what she had told her mom, he made her smile, a lot. And maybe Dick would never know how much that meant to her that he did that for her. He did it without even trying, which made her smile even more.
She sighed to herself and decided to bring all the boxes up to her room before her mother came home and started asking questions.
She started to get dress and she couldn't stop smiling at how beautiful she was feeling.
Seven o'clock came around way too quick for Dick. He couldn't believe how nervous he was feeling for a date. Okay so maybe the word 'date' was near the right meaning of tonight. He was taking Mac out to eat on the beach; he had hired a cook and a band to play some soft music. Afterwards he would blindfold her and take her out to the boat he rented for the evening where chocolate covered strawberries, cherries, raspberries, bananas were waiting for them and with a special surprise at the end of their night.
As he approached the Mackenzie's house he tried to relieve the butterflies in his stomach by taking a few deep breaths.
He knocked on the door three times and then stood back, looking down at himself and his outfit that Veronica surprisingly stayed to help him pick out before leaving to meet Logan for dinner. He was wearing some black dress slacks with a light blue button up dress shirt. Veronica ordered him tucking it into his pants but Dick refused to do that, he had to feel relaxed. And of course he was wearing some black dress shoes which were totally rubbing blisters on his heel.
"Um hello?"
Dick's head shot up and was met with a woman with short blonde hair, assuming she was Mac's mother and ignoring the weird feeling of somehow recognizing her from somewhere, and put on his Casablancas' grin. "Hi, Mrs. Mackenzie? I am Dick."
Natalie smiled and opened the screen door more and stepped aside for Dick to walk inside. "Mac told me you two were dating today; it is nice to meet you." She tried to sound thrilled.
Dick didn't buy it but didn't say anything. "Ah yes, your daughter is," Dick took a breath when he saw Mac walking slowly down the stairs in her green dress and matching green shoes, her hair done up in soft, teasing curls, half up in a silver clip, half down, cascading over her shoulders. "Really, really something else."
Mac smiled, locking eyes with him and biting her lip. Even though she felt amazing and she could tell he thought she looked amazing she still had the inner Mac who had tons of self doubt issues. "Hi," she said sheepishly.
"Hey," Dick gulped and tried not to do anything that would be wrong in the eyes of Mrs. Mackenzie right then and there with Mac. "Ready?" He asked, silently begging Mac to say yes so he could be alone with her.
Mac chuckled and nodded yes. "Bye mom,"
"Bye honey,"
Once the front door was shut and locked behind them Dick grabbed Mac by her upper arms and pushed her against the garage and began kissing her. "You look, god, you don't know what you are doing to me right now in that dress." Dick returned to kissing her.
Mac smiled against his lips and ran her hands up and down his back, enjoying it.
Mac moaned as Dick bit down on her bottom lip and lowered his hands down to her hips, gripping them tightly. She almost gasped out in frustration when Dick pulled back. "Let's get going." All Mac could do was nod and put her hand in his.
"Dick," Mac breathed and stopped walking, looking at the candle lit path down the beach to a small table with two chairs, a table with a cook accompanies it and two men play a violin and guitar to the other side.
"Come on," He whispered in her ear and kissed her temple, leading her, almost dragging her to the table. He pulled her chair for Mac and kissing her before sitting down across from her.
"What is this for Dick, you really shouldn't have…" Mac looked around, taking in the whole scene and music and smell of the food in the air.
"I wanted to though; I wanted to take you out for a real date." Dick shrugged and took his napkin and placed it on his right knee.
Mac smiled and did the same. "Well, thanks. And did you pick this outfit out? If you did…"
"NO! I had asked Veronica to help me out with that!" Dick answered quickly, already knowing what Mac was hinting to.
Mac giggled and nodded. "Sure,"
"Hey!" Dick scowled and pouted.
Mac shook her head and drank some of her water. "I am sorry; did I hit a sore spot in your sexuality?"
"A sore spot-what? No, I am totally straight. Want me to prove it to you?" Dick leered.
Mac almost choked on her water. "No, it is okay I take it all back. Sorry."
For the rest of the dinner they kept joking and laughing, just enjoying each other's presence.
"Dick! Take this off of me right now!" Mac squirmed in Dick's grasp as they, as she assumed, were heading back to his truck.
"Nope, can't do that Mackie, in order to surprise you, you must be blindfolded, sorry." Dick explained and apologized by Mac could tell he didn't mean it.
"This is not cool." Mac pouted.
"It will be cool in a moment, just be patient baby…" Dick kissed her on the lips and then down her cheek to her neck.
Mac couldn't remember being more turned on. "Oh…kay…"
Once they got into the truck, Dick drove down the beach more and towards the docks where he parked and helped Mac out of the car once again, kissing her deeply before walking her on the dock and onto the boat.
"Dick, um where are you taking me?" Mac asked as she stepped onto the boat. She wasn't sure what it was she was standing on just that it was not steady.
"That would be giving it away now wouldn't?" Dick whispered in her ear as he helped her sit down on a chair.
"Diiiiiick!" Mac whined.
"Mac would you like some cheese with that wine?"
"No, I would like you to take this thing off!" Mac said, trying to wiggle her hands out of his.
"Okay fine, hold on." Dick mumbled and took the blind fold off her eyes. "Better?"
Mac stood up and noticed she was indeed on a boat, a very big and pretty boat. "Dick?" She looked around once more, noticing the candles again, and vanilla her favorite and "Say" by John Mayer was playing in the background, one of her favorite songs. She was seriously going to take Veronica out to dinner soon to thank her.
Dick smiled and pulled her close to him and kissed the tip of her nose. "This is the second follow up to my apology."
"Your apology? You already apologized babe," Mac pulled her hands out of Dick's finally and brought them to his face, rubbing her thumbs across his cheeks.
"I know, I know but you have to understand that I still feel like a complete, total asshole for doing it. I just want you to know it was all because of you, I was kind of freaking about Cass and yeah…" Dick searched her eyes and wrapped his arms around her waist and then up to her back, thanking Veronica for picking a dress that allowed her back to be somewhat exposed.
"Oh," Mac nodded and wrapped her arms around his neck. "I am sorry,"
"Why are you sorry?" Dick asked, rubbing her back.
"I don't know, I just, this sucks, this all sucks." Mac said and noticed his head drop. "But you," She kissed him. "Make it better."
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
Dick looked up at her and smiled.
"You do Dick; you make me smile when I don't want to." Mac smiled and kissed him again.
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
"I love you," Dick blurted out then his eyes widened, not planning on saying that. "Uh, yah…" He looked down at his feet.
Mac's eyes widened as well and she froze.
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
"Um you don't have to say anything back I just…yeah…awkward…" Dick chuckled slightly before walking over to steer the boat.
Mac just breathed in and out. She didn't know what to think. She cared a lot about Dick, a lot. "Love is a big word for me right now. And I am glad that you said it and don't feel embarrassed. All I can tell you right now is that I care so much about you and that I have fallen for you completely and I can definitely see myself falling in love with you too. I just don't want to say it just to say it…"
Dick turned around to see Mac looking at him with such intensity in her eyes that it made his knees weak. "Thanks," Dick smiled softly.
Mac smiled as well and walked up to him and kissed him with want and need and all kinds of thanks for not making her feel pressured in anything. And Dick kissed her the same, thanking her for not making him feel like an idiot.
Mac and Dick were enjoying feeding each other different chocolate covered fruits when Mac saw fireworks go off in the background. "Oh my god, Dick!" She lightly punched him on the arm.
"Owe, what was that for?" Dick yelped.
"For all of this! I have nothing to 'wow' you with!" Mac smiled while laughing.
"Oh baby you wow me every day, no worries about that!" Dick reached over and yanked Mac on his lap and started kissing her, taking his time to make each kiss perfect, outlining her lips with his tongue while running his hand up her back to her shoulder blades.
Mac would usually care that she was in a dress and straddling a guy but when he kissed her like that she could have been in a thong and nothing else and she would have no shame since Dick loved her and she knew it, he didn't even have to say it for her to feel it in everything he did to her; the way he kissed her, touched her, talked ther...it was different than when he talked to Logan or his other friends. She started to grind herself on his lap and gasping slightly at how aroused he was. He seemed to always be aroused around her. And since she was wearing a dress and a thong, she could feel his member pulsing underneath her core. She moaned when he start kissing under her ear seductively, long, lasting kisses.
Dick was enjoying what Mac was doing but while she was wiggling on top of him all it made him want to do was rip her dress off. But he wasn't going to pressure her into doing anything like that until he knew without a doubt she loved him back. "You are…you need to stop moving like that Mac…" He warned but kept his grip on her hips.
"Why?" Mac asked in his ear, licking the inside of his ear, causing him to shudder.
"Because if you don't I won't be able to control myself and I am going to have to get you home soon or else your mother will officially hate me or your dad will kill me." Dick still made no movement to get up, instead helped her more on top of his lap and using his hands to further help her grind on top of him.
"Mmm, you are probably right about that." Mac leaned back against the table and ran her hands up Dick's chest and started to unbutton her shirt.
"Mac," Dick once again warned.
"Relax," Mac smiled as she popped open the last button and ran her hands all over his chest and then lowered her head to pepper his chest with kisses.
Dick rolled his head back and closed his eyes. Her lips were hot and electric almost.
Mac kissed her way up his chest to his neck, sucking on his pressure point before making her way up to his mouth where she began kissing him hard. "How long do we have with this boat?" She whispered seductively in his ear, pressing her butt on his groin more.
"Um, I have…rented it for the night." Dick stuttered and looked up into Mac's eyes.
"Good," Mac got up and placed her napkin on the table before walking backwards to the bedroom in the back of the boat.
"Mac, I don't want to force you to do anything you don't want to do…not until you feel the same way…I don't want you to regret this tomorrow." Dick said, meaning every word.
Mac blushed and walked back to Dick, sitting sideways on his lap, all playfulness set aside. "Oh, okay," She laid her head on his shoulder.
Dick placed his index finger under her chin to face him. "But trust me, when you are really ready, I will be too." Dick kissed her sweetly and placing his hand above her breasts on her heart before kissing her cheek. "Just so you know, you are totally fuckable Mackie…" He grinned, lightening the mood tremendously.
Mac laughed as well. "I am just going to take that as a compliment and watch the fireworks." Mac nuzzled her head under Dick's chin.
They watched the rest of the fireworks before Dick took Mac home and kissed, more like attacked her mouth, neck, and collarbone with his lips, before she walked inside and into her room where she fell asleep almost right after her head hit the pillow, dreaming about Dick. She was so glad she had him in her life and she knew as soon, the very moment, she felt the same as Dick she would tell him.
