Chapter 16

For Mac it seemed like the weekend would never come. She was already packed, something she'd never done before. Mac walked into the terminal in Hawaii and spotted Trevor right away. He hurried to greet her, taking her into his arms and twirling her around as he kissed her. Her heart melted at the love and tenderness in his kiss.

When the kiss ended Trevor put her on the ground, and asked, "Have you had dinner yet, Sarah?"

"No, I left straight from work after changing out of my uniform."

"I hope that you don't mind that I didn't take time to change out of mine," he asked.

"Not at all, you're sexy in anything you wear."

He grinned at her and said, "Thank you, I made reservations at a local place that I love and I hope that you will like it too."

"I'm sure I will," she told him.

They arrived at the restaurant and Mac knew instantly that she was going to love the place as much as he did. Both of them asked for a slab of ribs with two sides. The only change came when Vince ordered a beer to go with his meal and Mac asked for an ice tea. He gave a raised eyebrow, and Mac reluctantly told him, "You might as well know that I am an alcoholic."

Trevor reached across the table and covered her hand with his. "Then I will change my order to ice tea as well," he told her.

"That's not necessary, I can be around someone who has a drink without a problem." She paused then asked "I just wonder how you felt about what I told you?"

"Sarah, everyone has challenges to overcome. How long have you been sober?"

"Five years."

"That's great! You should be proud of yourself."

"Trevor, you are SO understanding!"

"Speaking of that, I didn't want to presume about this weekend, so I reserved a room for you at the Hilton."

Mac was stunned, "You don't want me to stay with you?!"

"Oh Sarah! Of course I want you to stay with me, but I didn't want to assume that was what you wanted."

This time it was her that reached across the table and covered his hand with hers. "That was very considerate of you, but I want to be with you," she told him.

With a happy grin he said, "I'm glad."

At the end of the meal both of them cleaned up with the wet wipes that the waiter brought them, and Trevor paid the bill. Pulling back her chair, they both headed for the door. Once in the car Trevor asked. "Would you like to go somewhere else or…"

Mac placed a finger on his lips and said, "I want to go to your place."

He smiled and kissed the finger on his lips, then started the car and pulled out of the parking lot.

They reached Trevor's apartment and he unlocked the door. Stepping inside he flipped on the light and invited her in. She was surprised that his color scheme was so close to the one in her own apartment back in Virginia. Trevor brought her bag in, the one he insisted he carry in from the car instead of letting her do so.

"I like your place. We seem to have the same taste."

"I'm not surprised," he told her. "We are more alike than you know, Sarah. We are meant to be together." Taking her hand in his free one, he led her into his bedroom.

"I hope that you are right."

Placing her bag on the chair Trevor asked, "Would you like to change? There is a bathroom through that door."

"I have some sexy lingerie with me, but no fancy night gowns," she gave him a self deprecating grin. "I sleep in a T-shirt and boxers.

"So do I, so in that case," he said as he approached her, "May I undress you?"

"Only if I can do the same in return," she told him.

"Permission granted, Sarah."

Trevor kept eye contact with her as his hands reached for the hem of her top. Slowly lifting it up, their eyes only left each others for the moment that her top passed between. "Sarah, you are SO beautiful!" Trevor told her as he stared at her in her black lace bra.
