••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Stella woke up from a nightmare and immediately felt the smell of smoke. It was oppressive and she was starting to have trouble breathing. The fire was a few meters away from her, she heard the fire sirens downstairs and that reassured her but she needed someone special to be even more reassured. She took her phone and dialed her number.
"Mac!" Stella says, choking.
"Stella is getting out of your apartment now!" Mac says
"What? How do you know there's a fire?"
"Stell, this is not the time I would explain to you afterwards"
"Mac, I'm afraid to move..."
"Stella you can do it, I'll come get you."
"No! You may get hurt, just tell me what to do"
She got up and Mac guided her all the way, taking away her fears and fears. She wanted to meet him at the bottom of her apartment as soon as possible.
Once she arrived downstairs she looked for him.
She looked for him as if her life depended on him. As if without him her life was meaningless.
When she saw him she started crying without understanding why and she jumped into his arms.
He placed his hand on the back of her head and the other on her back to make sure what was really there and then he hugged her before kissing her forehead.
"Stella I was so scared." Mac finally admits
"Me too Mac..." Stella says
"Are you okay?" Mac asks worried.
"Oh yeah! I'm honored that Mac Taylor was scared for me!" Stella answers,
smiling
He laughed then they walked away from the place hand in hand.
"Stella, do you want to stay at my place until you find another apartment?"
"Yes, thank you Mac. Thanks for everything"
"Tomorrow I'll take you shopping so you can buy new clothes."
"Really? Why?"
"You're out of clothes and I don't mind lending you clothes, but the team will find it suspicious," Mac calmly says.
"Otherwise I'm walking around naked," Stella says, laughing.
"I wouldn't mind, but I doubt Lindsay likes a naked woman walking in front of her husband,"
"So I'll just walk around naked at your place?"
"I can't wait!"
"You're a pervert, Detective Taylor!" Stella hitting his chest.
They got into the car and went to Mac's. She was happy that he offered to stay with him, in fact she was secretly hoping.
And now they were flirting, maybe in her misfortune she'll find happiness.
She had already been to Mac's house so she already knew her apartment vaguely, she had only ever been in his bedroom or bathroom.
"Stella, it's late and I guess you're tired of events so I'll leave you my room," says Mac.
"Mac we are two responsible adults and I think your bed is big enough for two,"
"Stella..." she didn't let him finish his sentence.
"Mac I don't want to sleep alone tonight, I woke up because I was dreaming about Franky! So please Mac, I don't want to see him again."
"Stella I was going to say yes."
They smiled and then he gave her a t-shirt and a jog so she could sleep in it.
She put on the clothes and then she went into bed with Mac.
She immediately put her head on his chest and Mac played with her hair.
"Mac, why were you in front of my apartment?" asks Stella.
"Your neighbor called me." Mac says.
"What?" Stella says, surprised. She turned her head to face him and immediately plunged into his eyes.
"You promise not to kill me?" Mac asks.
"Promise" answers Stella.
"When you moved into this apartment, I gave my card to your neighbours and told them to call me if there was a problem."
He noticed a tear coming out of her eyes and then wiped it off.
"Stella, why are you crying?" Mac asks.
"I... No one had ever done so much for me Mac. I'm supposed to hit you for doing this but in reality would hurt you for nothing. So... Thank you," Stella says, being sincere in every word.
"That's normal."
"You told me Franky wasn't the right Mac...I should have seen it,"
"Stella you're safe now, I promise you he won't come back."
She buried her head in Mac's neck and she started crying, he hugged her and he whispered to her that everything would be okay.
She finally fell asleep and it didn't take Mac long to fall asleep, too. She had a surprisingly good night's sleep, a night without a nightmare, and it had never happened to her.
Mac woke up with her and smiled when he saw that she was still in his arms. He had already thought about waking up with Stella next to him but he had never imagined that it would be so good. He hugged her to make sure everything was true and then he kissed her temple. She smiled at her gesture and then she looked at him and put her chin on his chest.
"Morning Mac."
"Morning Stella, did you sleep well?"
"Yes, to be honest I haven't slept as well in a long time. I could get used to it," Stella says with a smile.
"All right, because I do too, how about a coffee and donuts for the morning?"
"Do you have donuts at home?" asks Stella by raising an eyebrow.
"No, but I can go to the grocery stores"answers quietly Mac.
"Mac, you're adorable but you don't have to, you're doing too much for me. I just need a shower." Stella says she got up towards the bathroom and she heard Mac get up too.
"Chocolate or strawberry?" asks Mac.
She pulled her head out of the door to look at him and raised her eyebrow.
"I'm going to go get some donuts for strawberries or chocolate?" Mac asks again.
"Mac...you don't have to." Stella answers but she saw her look and she understood that in any case he was going to bring her donuts. "Strawberry" says her just before she locks herself in the bathroom.
When she came out of the shower Mac had not yet returned. She examined his room, which was quite empty. Then she went into the living room which was also empty. She wondered how Mac could not have anything that was dear to him or even a photo. He was surely very minimalist. She didn't ask any more questions and she went to make coffee.
He came home a few minutes later and smiled at Stella's thinking in his kitchen. He knew he shouldn't do it, but he couldn't help but hug her.
They walked away and Mac gave her his strawberry donuts while Stella gave him his coffee.
"What time do we leave?" Stella asks
"When you want." Mac says
"Well, let's go now."
They took their coats and then they went into Mac's car. While he was driving he took her hand and he squeezed it with his own.
"Mac?"
"Mmh?" Mac answers, always focusing on the road.
"You realize I'm wearing your clothes to go to the mall. Shopping mall with a lot of people!"
He laughed and then looked at the clothes she was wearing. She had a pair of joggers and one of her NYPD sweatshirts.
"You look good in my clothes!" Mac rationalizes.
"Really?" Stella says as she looks at him.
They laughed one more time and Stella hit him on the arm.
They went to several stores before they got to the one Mac feared the most. It was a lingerie store where there was no one. When she noticed that it was all red she burst out laughing then she hurried to choose some underwear to find it.
Once the shopping was over they went back to Mac's and he left her a place in his closet, she initially refused to tell him that he was doing too much for her but after a long time she finally gave in. He helped her put her clothes away and then he gave her a little privacy on the way to the living room.
She joined him a few minutes later without him noticing.
"Mac" said Stella in a weak voice.
He looked at her and saw a few tears he got up and immediately held her in his arms. He does not know when he could admit that this image of her broke his heart.
"Stell, what's the matter?" Mac asks.
She put her head in his neck and tightened her T-shirt. "Mac I... I'm"
She sat on the couch and he on the coffee table to be in front of her. She noticed that he was worried so she stroked his cheek to relax him.
"I can't forget Franky... He hurt me so much, I feel like he wanted me to only see him when I close my eyes. I still feel his punches..." says Stella.
Suddenly his whole world was falling apart, he had done so much harm to his Stella. He couldn't help him. Shit, if he wasn't dead, he would have killed her with his own hands.
"Stell, you're not alone anymore, I'm here," Mac says. He hugged her before he kissed her cheek.
He took her by the hand and took her to his room before putting her in bed to hold her in his arms. She felt safe and grateful that Mac did this. She ended up slowly falling asleep in her arms.
The next day they are both going to work, the team still did not know that Stella was now living at Mac and not to arouse suspicion she arrived 5 minutes after him.
She saw him in her office angry with Sinclair, waiting for him to hang up before asking him what was going on.
"Sinclair wants to get out one of us," Mac says, angry.
"What? Why?" Stella asks
"He said our financial needs are becoming more and more of a concern," Mac says.
"But... I can't work without Lindsay, without Sid and the others and even less without you!"
"Because you really think I can, Stella?"
"O...Ok Mac you have no reason to get mad at me!"
"You say I don't care about you and my team and I have to shut up?"
You and my team? He had put her aside, was she really more? Deep down, she was hoping for it.
"That's not what I meant and you know it!"
A scraping of the throat was heard behind them and they immediately stopped arguing.
"We were delivered a package with a body cut out of it." Lindsay says a little embarrassed. "But it can wait..."
"No, I'm coming with you, Lindsay." Stella says
She came out of Mac's office with Lindsay and they went to examine the package. Inside there was a letter, Stella took it and she read it out loud.
"I could kill you one by one, but killing innocent people is more fun. I could get tired of it, though."
