"The Kiss" part 3/3
by Rita Widmer
Last time that we left off Mac and Harm were reaching for the phone to call each other to clarify what had happened that night at the engagement party.
Disclaimer is in part 1.
Hope you all enjoy the last part. I'll be going off mail tonight since I'll be in NYC until Monday on a "Remember WENN" convention. Wish me luck I'm up for two fanfiction awards nominations. Please send feedback and send it to lovewenn@hotmail.com. Thanks to Kerry for sending me feedback.

Mac's Apartment
Georgetown
Same time
Mac sighed as she heard the phone ring. She had just hung up when she got a busy signal from Harm. Her heartbeat faster as she answered the phone knowing deep down it was Harm calling. That mind of hers was racing to figure out what he had to say, and what she wanted to tell him.
"Mac, are you there?" Asked Harm when there was no hello.
"Yes Harm I'm here. Sorry I was a little bit out of it. Can I help you with something?" *Like getting you to tell me that I can't marry Mic, because you want to marry me. *
"Sorry to wake you up. I'll just let you go," Harm sighed into the phone.
"I was already awake. I was just thinking of some things."
"I just wanted to make sure that everything was all right still between us after what happened tonight. Is it all right? You aren't mad at me, are you?" Harm needed to desperately now, because he was already losing her to another man he couldn't stand losing her friendship too.
"We've needed to have that talk for quite awhile now. Too bad it couldn't have come sooner when it could have made a big difference, but at least maybe now we can get our friendship back on track."
Harm decided to ignore the comment about a big difference. "Sarah, please tell me one thing. I know it is not my business, but I need to know. Are you in love with Mic?" The silence was deafening to Harm as she hesitated to answer. "I'm sorry Mac; I shouldn't have asked that. Good night."
Before she could answer Harm, she could hear the phone click as he hung up. "There you go again blowing your last chance to get him to open up," she said aloud to the dial tone. Then she hung up, and tried to fall asleep.

Harm's Apartment
Same time
Harm hung up the phone with a heavy heart. She couldn't even tell him the truth. Too afraid to hurt him with those words that never would be spoken to him in the same way. He was not sure how in the world he was going to make it until the wedding. It was going to be one of the hardest days of his life. "No take that back. It will be the hardest day in your life. Another person you love is leaving you," he said quietly.
*Have you ever thought that maybe the reason why she couldn't answer was because she doesn't love him, and she is actually in love with you. * His subconscious was now interrogating him.
"If she loved me she would have waited for me!"
*How long would you have made her wait for? Would you ever come about and let go? She decided not to wait, because she doesn't feel like she has until the end of time to get what she wants. She wants a family, and Mic was the one to say the right words. All you had to do on the ferry was say 'I want you, but I need some more time to figure out my life and what I want in it besides you.' She would have waited for you knowing that you wanted her, but just needed some more time as long as it wasn't going to eternity. *
"When I made the comment about the bridge and the word 'eternity' I meant that I wanted her for eternity in my life."
*How was she supposed to know that? Here you were not even opening up to her and she thinks you mean she'll have to wait for eternity. When she asks you what you meant, what do you do, just says her name. When am I going to get through thick skull of yours? *
"I can't take any more of this tonight. My whole world seems to be shattering around me."

Harm didn't even stop at his office before going to Mac's office the next morning. He slowly knocked on the door. He hoped she was not mad at him for calling her so late last night. A loud 'Enter' rung in his ear as he opened the door.
"Mac, I hope you were able to get a good night sleep after I called you late last night. I shouldn't have done that, but I needed to hear your voice, and make sure everything was all right between us. I don't know what I would do if I lost your friendship."
"Don't worry, Harm. You'll always be my best friend. I was not able to get a good night's sleep, but it was my own fault. I'm just too worried about the wedding."
"I understand, Mac. Well I need to get to work. Talk to you later," Harm said, giving her as close to his flyboy smile as possible, but he failed miserably.
The End.. maybe a sequel coming.
