CSI: NY Rated T
Name: For You, Anything
Chapter 14- Elevator Lock down
Stella's POV
I was due to meet Mac by the elevators in 10 minutes. We were going to mine to watch a movie and eat take-out. Even though we'd only been going out for about a day and a half we weren't going to do the whole "Dating in a restaurant thing". I mean, we'd been best friend and partners for about 10 years so we were already like a married couple. I couldn't wait to spend some time with him alone.
I locked up my desk and grabbed my bag before walking towards Mac, who was waiting for me by the elevator.
"Hey, you ready"
"Of course", I smiled.
I felt his hand go to the small of my back as he led me into the elevator, thankful that it was empty as I felt the heat rush to my cheeks.
As the doors closed I felt Mac's arms wrap around my waist.
"Hey, gorgeous"
"Hey to you too," I smiled as I turned around in his arms.
"So do I get a kiss?"
"Always so hasty Taylor?"
"Mm…Always"
I was about to lean in and kiss him when the elevator car went pitch black and jerked to a stop causing us to fall to the floor.
"This is not happening," I mumbled as the emergency lights flickered on.
"Are you alright Stel?"
"Yeah", I replied as Mac got on the phone to Danny.
I went and sat in the corner and huddled my knees to my chest. I was claustrophobic, just one of the things you get from being an orphan all your life. Mac got of the phone and looked over to me,
"All the rest of the team were in the tech lab when the power went out so there locked in because of the new automatic locks. It looks like we'll be in here for at least a couple of hours."
Oh crap!
Mac's POV
I looked over at Stella again and this time noticed how she was huddled into a ball. I remembered how she told me she was claustrophobic. It was something no one else knew because I knew it made her feel week. I got up and walked over to her. Sitting down next to her, I pulled her into my arms.
"Your safe Stella, I won't let anything happen to you"
"I know", she mumbled against my chest.
I held her in my arms until she pulled away to look at me.
"Mac?"
"Yeah Stel?"
"Is there anyway we can get out of here?"
"No, we're stuck between floors"
"Oh", I heard her whisper as she climbed out of my arms and began to pace back and forth.
I watched her as she began to sing to herself. She had such a beautiful voice and it made me smile listening to her words. I watched her for a few minute longer when I saw a tear fall down her cheek.
I got up and drew her body towards mine.
"What's wrong Stel?"
"I was trying to distract myself but it's not working Mac, I'm scared"
"Shhh… It's okay"
I tilted her chin up with my finger and kissed away the few tears that escaped the corner of her eyes. I then kissed her softly on the lips, running my hands through her hair. I pulled away and drew circled on her back,
"Is that distracting enough?"
She smiled and pulled my lips back down to hers,
"Definitely," she mumbled against my lips.
Thank god we're alone in this elevator.
