Part 3
"Well, tomorrow morning I'm going to the base and report him. I can't wait to see his face when he finds out that he just disrespected two senior officers."
"Harm, no."
"Why not?"
"Harm, I don't want them to know what I do."
"Why?"
"I made my life in the Marines separate from my past. I know it's hard to understand, but I just don't want to mix them."
Harm nodded; he wouldn't push it. "Come on let's go back to the hotel."
They paid for the meal then left for the hotel.
Part 4
1915 ZULU Grand Motel Yuma, Arizona
"I think, I'm ready for bed. The jet lag has caught up with me."
"Yeah, me too. So, I'll take the couch, Mac"
"Harm, are you kidding? *I* couldn't even fit on that couch. There is nothing wrong with us sharing the bed."
Harm knew she was right, but he didn't know if could handle being too close to her. He was just going to have to handle it. After they both changed, they got into bed. Both of them were very uncomfortable. Mac turned on her side and faced Harm.
"What do you want to do tomorrow? Harm"
"We can spend the day in town till we have to go to the dance."
"Okay. 'Night, Harm," Mac rolled on to her other side with her back facing Harm.
" Night, Mac." A few minutes later Harm could tell Mac was asleep. She looked like an angel when she slept.
0845ZULU Harm and Mac's Room Grand Motel Yuma, Arizona
When Mac woke the next morning, she was very confused. As she looked around the room she notice that she wasn't in her own bed. But the thing that had her the most confused was that there was someone in bed with her. Mac looks down at the arm that's draped around her waist. Mac was afraid to turn around to see whom the arm belonged too. She wondered if the past few months had been a dream that Mic had never left and Harm was still with Renee. Mac took a deep a breath and turned around. She sighed in relief when she looked up to see Harm's face. Slowly she started to remember why they were here. Mac took a moment to relish in the feel of Harm embrace knowing she would have to leave the safety of his embrace to save them from the awkward moment she knew would happen if she remained in his arms. Mac turned back around and carefully slipped out of Harm's arms and went into the bathroom to change.
A few minutes later Mac emerges from the bathroom fully dressed. She looks over at Harm who is still sleeping peacefully. He looks so innocent when he's sleeping Mac thought to herself.
"Well I better wake him" A sly smile appears on Mac's face as she comes up with the perfect way to wake him.
"COMMANDER RABB GET YOUR SIX OUT OF BED NOW" Mac shouted in her best Drill Sergeants voice she could muster. Harm jumps out of the bed, franticly looking around the room. Mac could see the confusion as to what was going written all over his face. Harm looked around the room trying to figure out what was going on. Through his confusion Harm could hear someone laughing. Harm's eye's came to rest on Mac. Seeing Mac doubled over in laughter make's the situation click in Harm's mind.
"YOU" At this point Mac had tears running down her face from laughing so hard.
"Oh this means war Marine" Mac's head shoots up just in time to see Harm jumping on the bed. Mac makes a run for the bathroom. Just as she reach's the door Harm jumps in front of her. He now stood in front of her with a sly grin on his face. Realizing that there was no escape, Mac ran to the other side of the bed. He didn't waste anytime in chasing after her. Harm cornered Mac. Mac had her back pressed back to the wall looking for away to escape.
"There's no escape Mac. Surrender now and I'll be nice", he smiled devilishly at her. She was laughing and had the biggest smile on her face.
"Never", she giggled. Mac tried to escape by jumping on the bed
"Oh no?" Harm said as he tackled her and pushed her onto the bed, and then started tickling her. Harm knew how ticklish she was. Mac was laughing so hard that tears started to stream down her face, but still he kept on tickling her. She tried to wriggle away, anything to get away from him, but he had her pinned under his weight.
"Surrender Mac, just say you surrender and I'll stop", he teased, laughing with her.
"Never", she breathed through her laughter. He continued to tickle her, she'd plead for mercy soon. Mac didn't know how much more she could take.
"C'mon Mac, admit defeat", Harm teased.
"All right.... all right, you win", she finally gave into him. He stopped tickling her and got up letting her have some air. She was breathing fast, taking in gulps of air, trying to regain her composure. He extended a hand to help her up. She took his hand and stood up to face him.
"See, now was that so hard?", Harm said looking into her eyes, his devilish grin still present.
"You know how ticklish I am. It's not fair", she said, lightly punching his chest.
"Aww, poor Mac", he teased.
"Don't make fun of me", she said.
"Or what?", he said, looking into her eyes.
"Or you'll be sorry, flyboy", she said flirtatiously. Their noses were centimetres apart. Their eyes locked. It was if the world around them faded. Mac's giggles had stopped and the silence increased the tension of the moment. The smiles faded from their lips as their expressions became more serious. Harm took her face in his hands, his thumb softly stroking the side of her cheek. His lips took on a sensuous curve as his thumb found her mouth. Harm lent in to brush his lips softly against hers. Mac's breath escaped against his mouth. Her mouth was so soft and sweet. A fire had now been lit between them. They both smiled against each other's lips.
"Wow" Mac said when she finally caught her breath.
"You can say that again"
"Harm, I feel kind of stupid asking you this. But what does this mean."
"It means that we're finally on the same page. Mac I know, God I know what an idiot I have been over the last year. I have tried to run away from my feelings for you, since the day I meet you I have been running. I knew that if I allowed you close I would fall for you. But you did get close, closer than anyone else did and I fell for you. I fell hard for you. I'm done running, Mac. I love you, with all my heart and soul" Mac rests her hand on Harm's cheek gently caressing it. She looks him straight in the eye.
"I love you too" A wisp of hair falls over Mac's eyes. Harm softly touches her cheek. Mac closes her eyes and lean in towards his touch. Harm raises his hand slightly to tucks the fallen wisp of hair behind Mac's ear. Before Harm has a chance to pull his hand Mac catches his hand. Mac squeezes his hand softly than places a kiss in the centre of his palm. Their eyes meet for a moment before their mouths meet again. Clinging together more than kissing.
"I can't believe I almost let you go" Harm whispers as he breaks away from Mac. Harm was about too lean in to kiss her again, when he heard Mac's stomach growling. Harm started laughing. Mac was blushing profusely.
"I don't think I have ever seen a Marine blush" Mac just glared at him.
"Come on I'll buy lunch. Then you can show me around town" Harm wasn't sure if Mac would want to show him around town. Harm was afraid it would bring back bad memories. But Mac just smiled at him.
"Sure, let's go I'm starved"
"*Really*, the growling stomach didn't give it away" Mac smacked him in the arm.
"If you keep acting like a smart-ass, I'll go to lunch myself"
"I'm sorry Mac. I'll behave promise" Harm gave Mac his best puppy dog look. I'm a grown woman. That puppy dog look shouldn't work on me. But damn he looks so cute Mac thought to herself.
"Come on let's go" Mac headed to the door. With Harm close behind. Mac opened the door. As Mac was walking across the threshold, she felt something pinch her ass. Mac whipped around to face Harm.
"Hey"
"What" Harm had his hands raised above his head. Harm was trying to look innocent but the glint in his eye gave him away. Mac was trying to look cross but failing miserably.
"I can't believe you di.." Whatever Mac was about to say was cut off, when Harm covered his mouth over hers. When Harm pulled away Mac had completely forgotten what she was going to say. Those lips should come with a health warning, "Caution could cause temporary mind loss" Mac though to her self.
"Ready to go" Mac mentally shook himself. She didn't want Harm to see what effect he had on her. She could image the smug grin on his face, if he found out that his kiss could make her lose all sense of reality.
"I'm ready, but you're walking in front" ordered Mac.
Harm tried to look hurt at her comment "You don't trust me." Mac smiled at him.
"I trust you Harm..I trust you as far as I can throw you" Harm just laughed.
"Come on. I don't want a hungry Marine on my hands" Harm held out his hand for her. Mac took his hand and gently squeezed it. Hand in hand they walked to their car. Harm dropped Mac's hand so he could open her door. Once Mac was in the car, Harm quickly leant in to give her a quick kiss on the lips before hurrying to the driver's seat. Mac just shook her head. She had never seen Harm act like this.
"So Mac, will we go to the diner we ate at last night" Harm wasn't sure if Mac would want to return to the diner after what had happen the night before. Harm was still furious at what Robert had said to Mac. He knew that if Mac hadn't stopped him when she did he probable would have done something stupid.
"Yeah, since that diner has the only decent food in town" Harm breathed a sigh of relief. Mac knew he was worried about what happen last night. Mac was terrified about going back into the diner but there was no way in hell she was going to let people like Robert rule her life.
"Alright lets go. I'm starved"
"Hey isn't that supposed to be my line." Harm smiled at her.
"I guess your rubbing off on me" Mac just laughed.
"Come on flyboy, you have to feed me" Harm started the car, pulled out of the car park and headed to the dinner.
