HARM'S APARTMENT
Harm woke up very happy. He and Mac no longer had to pretend they were over. It had only been two days but it made him realize that he never wanted to be without Mac. Those were the two longest days of his life.
They weren't going to see each other today; Harm looked around his apartment and decided it could use a good cleaning. He went to find his cleaning supplies and thought about a where to start. He was filling the bucket when Sergei walked in carrying his bags.
"Hello brother" Sergei said. "I'm back."
"Hey Sergei. You just get in?" Harm asked.
"Yes I took the red eye. California was incredible." Sergei replied. "How is your beautiful colonel?"
"She's doing just fine." Harm said with a big smile.
"What is with the bucket?" Sergei asked.
"I thought I would do some cleaning today." Harm said.
"Ok, want some help?" Sergei offered picking up a sponge.
"Thanks, so how is my mom?" Harm asked.
"She is good, it was nice spending time with her and learning about our father from her perspective." Sergei replied. "I know it took a lot for her to accept me."
"Well, I think she has come to terms with everything. I hope she has." Harm said with understanding nod.
Harm and Sergei stood there looking at the bucket of soapy water wondering what to do next.
"So where do we start?" Sergei asked.
"Not sure, maybe we should put on some music." Harm said walking to the stereo.
The music filled the room and they still stood there looking around.
"Maybe I should change the bed?" Harm asked.
"Any reason the sheets are dirty?" Sergei asked with a mischievous smile.
"Yes there is actually, they haven't been changed in two weeks." Harm shot back.
"So things haven't progressed with you and the Colonel. Huh?" Sergei asked.
"Not that it's any of your business, but no." Harm replied.
"Brother, brother, brother. What are you waiting for?" Sergei asked with a smile. "Do I need to explain things to you?"
"Ha Ha, I think I have it covered. Thanks." Harm said sarcastically.
"Well if you had it covered, you wouldn't be here with me holding a bucket of water." Sergei laughed. Without missing a beat, Harm whipped a wet sponge at his brother. Cleaning was forgotten and the two brothers ended up having a water fight.
"So this is what you do when I'm not around." Mac said laughing as she watched them.
"Mac? When did you get here?" Harm asked.
"About five minutes ago." Mac replied. "So this is how siblings act."
"Well we were just deciding what to clean first." Sergei said.
"And you picked each other. How smart." Mac replied laughing.
"You know Sergei, I can thing of something else that needs cleaning." Harm said with a wicked smile. With loaded sponges they both looked at Mac and slowly walked towards her.
"Don't even think about it flyboys." Mac said laughing. They didn't take her warning too seriously because they covered her with water. Mac instinctively went for the bucket; Harm caught her before she reached it and was holding her. Sergei took this opportunity to get the bucket; he dumped the water over both of them. Soaking wet and laughing, Harm gave Mac a kiss. Sergei made himself disappear by going to the bathroom to dry off. He smiled; he liked seeing them together and so happy.
"I thought you were going to be busy today?" Harm said breaking off the kiss.
"I was, but I missed you. Thought maybe I could take you to lunch." Mac said.
"Sounds good, but Sergei is here." Harm replied with a pout.
"So, he can come too." Mac said.
"Come where too?" Sergei asked walking out of the bathroom and throwing towels to them.
"To lunch." Mac said catching a towel.
Sergei looked at Mac's soaked t-shirt and laughed, "Mac, I don't think you should be going anywhere right now."
Harm covered Mac protectively with his towel. "Let's just have lunch here and let me get you another shirt." Harm walked into the bedroom.
"So Mac how are things with you and Harm?" Sergei asked.
"Just fine. How was California?" Mac asked changing the subject.
"Just fine." Sergei said with a smile.
"Mac I left a shirt on the bed for you." Harm said returning to the living room. Then looking at Sergei, "Let's clean this up."
Mac came back into the room, "You guys are clueless when it comes to cleaning aren't you?"
"Big words Marine, you realize I have a sink full of water." Harm said.
"Tell you what let's have lunch and then I will show you both how to clean." Mac said as she walked towards the kitchen.
"Hey Mac, I have something for you." Harm said as he walked up behind her and put her heart around her neck.
"Thank you. I felt naked not having it on." Mac said turning around hugging Harm.
"Naked huh?" Harm said with a smile kissing her.
"Would you two like to be alone?" Sergei asked walking into the kitchen.
"Sorry Sergei." Mac said untangling herself from Harm. "How about some lunch?"
They ate a quick lunch and started cleaning. Mac was commanding them on the proper way to clean.
"Brother are you sure you know what you are getting into with her?" He asked as they moved to the couch.
"We'll hire a maid." Harm said with a laugh and he sat back.
A few hours later Mac returned to the living room. "Come on guys, quit yapping and get back to work." Mac instructed tongue in cheek.
"And what exactly have you been doing?" Harm asked.
"I cleaned your kitchen." Mac said with a smile. "And the bathroom and the bedroom. You think you could finish up this one room?"
"How about giving us a hand?" Harm asked, to which Mac started applauding. "She's so funny." Harm said with a smirk.
"Ok boys, let's get this done. It's almost five and I'm starved." Mac said. "Have you dusted? Vacuumed? Turned the cushions?"
"Well no." Sergei replied.
"Exactly what have you been doing here for the last 4 hours?" Mac asked in amazement.
"I organized my CD's.' Harm said. "And we were just about to move the couch."
Mac rolled her eyes, "Sergei, dust the shelves. Harm vacuum."
"And what are you going to be doing?" Harm asked.
"Ordering a pizza." Mac said as she picked up the phone. "Think you guys can finish before it gets here?"
"Yes ma'am." They replied mockingly.
The pizza came and since the guys had finished their cleaning assignments Mac let them eat.
"Well this was fun, I guess I should be going." Sergei said.
"Where to?" Harm asked.
"I thought to a hotel, you should have some alone time." Sergei replied.
"Sergei don't be silly, this is your home. Stay and we can all watch movies." Mac said.
"Since the lovely Colonel has invited me, I will stay." Sergei said with a smile.
"So what movie are we going to watch?" Harm asked.
"Horror movie?" Sergei suggested.
"Comedy?" Mac piped in.
"I'll be back in 15 minutes." Harm said as he left for the video store. Mac and Sergei finished cleaning up the dishes and sat on the couch waiting for Harm's return.
"So Mac, the heart is from Harm?" He asked pointing to her pendent.
"Yes, a gift from our trip to Puerto Rico." Mac replied with a smile.
"Your trip I thought you went there on a business reason?" Sergei smiled.
"Oh we did but Harm arranged for some extra time there." Mac answered.
"You and Harm had a holiday in Puerto Rico?" Sergei asked with a smile.
"Yes, it was wonderful." Mac said with a big smile.
"I do need to explain things to him." Sergei mumbled as he shook his head.
"What was that?" Mac asked.
"Oh nothing, just thinking." Sergei replied. Harm then walked in with videos in hand.
"So what did you get?" Mac asked.
"Horror and comedy." Harm said with a smile holding up the Scream series.
The three sat together watching the movies. Sergei sitting on one side of the couch and Mac and Harm cuddled on the other end.
As the 3rd tape started they all began to drift off to sleep. It actually was a nice family setting. They all slept very soundly that night.
ACROSS TOWN
That woman drove her crazy. Why she had to be in their lives was a mystery to her. All she wanted was to be left alone with her love. That woman was so needy. Always taking her love from her with one problem or another. Once they were married she would put a stop to it. She would make sure that woman didn't bother them again. Even if it meant moving away, she would hate to leave her home but if it meant that woman would no longer be a bother than it was worth it. She walked around her home soon it would be time to sleep. At least in her dreams that woman did not bother them.
