Feelings and What's To Come

"Okay Taylor, I think you are able to walk, you are very lucky that you didn't lose much blood. Your leg will be a little moveable but you need some one to help especially if your walking for a long amount of time, so don't try to overwork yourself."

"All right, I can manage."

"Stella you should come with me you got to sign some release forms and you two can be on your way."

"Okay," she smiles and turns to Mac. "I'll be back shortly so hold tight," she leans in and kisses his cheek; leaving his face flushed and Stella went with the doctor.

"How involved are you with Mac?"

"What do you mean?"

"Any thoughts of sexual activity, because it'll be best if you let him heal before you guys do anything thing drastic."

"I will," Stella says and they stop at the front desk and she finishes up with the signing.

"Just be gentle with Mac, okay?"

"All right, I got this covered," she smiles and they arrive to where Mac was and he and Stella were on their way.

"So Mac, you sure you don't need me to help you?"

"I'm fine, but thanks for caring about me. So where to now?"

"Um… I would love some coffee."

"Okay, I know the greatest place right down the street like two blocks away."

"Um… we're walking there?"

"Yeah," he states and was fixing to continue walking when Stella pulled on his arm.

"How about I hold you up while we walk and I'll get Danny and Lindsay to take us to your place?"

"All right, as long as you don't leave me."

"The only time I'm leaving is when I have to go back to Greece," she sighs.

"When we get our coffee, we should really talk about that."

"Okay, well let's get this walk done with first."

She puts his arm around her neck and wraps her arm around his waist. They take about 25 minutes to get to the small coffee shop.

Once they get their they get two coffees they sit down at a table.

"That was an exhausting walk."

"Yeah that was, so what was it you wanted to talk about?"

"Um… this is the hard part… I'm supposed to be start marine training next week for about six months, and I can't be holding you back."

"How can you hold me back?"

"I don't want you to wait six months or probably longer thinking that I'll be there to continue our relationship. You have to live your life and be happy, I can't have you being miserable for a long period of time just so you can have me."

"Mac, I understand what your feeling. But I could wait a lifetime to just wait for you. That would make me most happy."

"You barely know me, and you shouldn't hold back from your life. I care about you a lot Stella."

"I care about you too Mac A LOT, that's why I'm willing to make this relationship work."

"But…" he starts only to have Stella put her hand on his cheek and leaned forward and gently kissed him and then when she was satisfied she pulled back.

"Mac honey, we can make this work, but we both have to be willing."

"I am willing, it's just that I can't stand not being with you."

"It'll be just as hard for me not be able to see your handsome face and great arms every day. At least we will be able to write, your going to military training not jail."

He offers a small smile, "I'm going to miss you Stella," he says softly and his eyes start to water.

She gently grasps hold of his hands, "I'm going to miss you too," she says her eyes getting equally as watery. "The most we can do right now is live the rest of this week to the fullest."

"But how can we doing that with my damn leg the way it is?"

"Mac, we can do a lot of good things besides having great sex," she smiles and laughs softly.

"I'm going to miss that laugh, I'm just going to miss everything about you. I'm gonna hate to see you go."

"I know Mac, me too," she gets up and walks behind him and wraps her arms around him and kissed his neck.

"Stella, I don't like being tempted."

She stops, "Well that's a shame, cause I have good tempting skills," she smiles.

"Okay, maybe you could show me how well your good at tempting."

"Do you want your leg to get better or not?"

"I do, but I want the chance to at least see how you are, before we have to wait like six months to see each other again. Last night didn't really go according to plan. So let's look at it as a goodbye present."

"I like the way you think Mac, you are the charmer," she smiles and kisses his cheek.

"So, you going to call the two lovebirds so we can hitch a ride to my place."

"Sure, but I want to take a nap, it's been a very long day. You should feel tired too, giving Frankie that ass kicking."

"Yeah, I sure gave it to him good."

"Yeah you did, no one messes with your woman."

"You got that right Ms. Bonasera."

She stands up and takes out her cell phone and calls Lindsay.

"Stella, what happened you two okay, me and Danny are worried about you both. Did you take care of Frankie?" Lindsay asked out of breath.

"We're fine Lindsay, thanks for asking…"

"So, what happened, I thought you would call me sooner, if Frankie laid one hand on you I swear, he's a dead man."

Stella laughs at her worried friend, "Well Frankie is probably still unconscious…"

"At his place?"

"Linds, do you want me to tell you the story or not?"

"Oh yeah, sorry, please go on."

She tells her in brief what happened.

"Mac got stabbed in thigh, I thought you said you two were fine."

"We are Linds, but then he kneed Frankie in the groin and practically knocked him out."

"Mac seems to really love you… Stell; me and Danny were talking about when this week ends, um… and we wanted to talk it out when you guys came back. When is that by the way?"

"Oh that's why I called you for, me and Mac need a ride home."

"Okay, so where are you so Danny can pick you two up?"

Stella tells Lindsay and they hung up.

"You girls talk too much," Mac grins and Stella slaps his arm.

"Shut up and kiss me Mac."

"You don't have to ask me twice," he grins and pulls her close and when their lips meet he starts to hungrily devour hers, she offers him a soft moan, and they pull back fully flushed.

"I love you Mac."

"Um… I love you too Stell. Forever and ever," he says and she smiles. They didn't know love could come so quick.
