Part 6
"No I want to meet them." Mac watched the grin grow on Harm's face.
"Great, I'll call and tell her. For now how about we get something to
eat, than head back to the hotel. The reunion dinner beings at
1600hrs right" Harm couldn't wait for tonight, not only would he see
Mac in a dress but it was also there first real date.
"Yeah that sounds good" Mac also was looking forward to tonight. See
Harm in a suit was almost as good as his dress whites. Harm wrapped
his arm around Mac's waist and started walking out of the mall. Both
of them lost in their thought of what would happen tonight at the
dance.
Part 7
1430ZULU Harm and Mac's room The Grand Motel Yuma Arizona
When Harm and Mac returned to there room, they started to get ready for tonight. Harm got in the shower first. While Mac went through her suitcase, trying to pick out the perfect dress for tonight.
"Damn, I've never had this much trouble picking something to wear" But you have never been on a date with Harm before Mac couldn't believe how nervous she was. Tonight was technically going to be there first date. She wasn't sure which she was more nervous about, going on a date with Harm or facing everyone from her past. Mac turn at the sound of the bathroom door opening.
"The showers all yours Mac" Harm had only a towel wrapped around his waist, when he came out of the bathroom. When he looked over at Mac she was staring at him with her mouth wide open. Harm couldn't help but grin; it not often something can shock Mac. "See something you like Marine"
Mac jumped at the sound of his voice. "What.... I.." Mac mentally shook herself " Sorry, I was just surprised, you normally take longer in the shower"
Harm couldn't help but laugh. He knew that Mac would never admit she was staring. But he had to admit she came back with a come back a lot quicker than he would have if had seen her in just a towel. Then image of Mac walking out of his shower in only a towel popped in to his mind. Great now I need another shower, a very cold shower
"Hey Harm, earth to flyboy, come in flyboy" Mac was waving her hand in front of Harm's face.
"Huh..... what did you say" Harm shook his head trying to get the image of Mac in a towel out of his head.
"I ask you if you were going to wear something casual or formal." Mac was wondering what Harm was thinking about. He had this dreamy look on his face.
"Semi formal. I was going to wear a suit but I'm not wearing a tie. What are you going to wear?"
"I'm going to wear a dress but I'm not sure which one"
"What about that red dress you wore to the Surface Warfare Ball. That's if you brought it with you" Harm could still picture her in that dress, she looked so beautiful. Granted that night wasn't one of his favourites. When he first arrived and saw her in that dress he had vision's of them on the dance floor. But that went straight out the window when Mic arrived. He was brought out of his thoughts when Mac started speaking to him again.
"No I didn't bring that dress but I have something similar in black."
"Well no matter what you decide to wear, I know you will look breathtaking " If she could make B.D.U look sexy than any dress she wore would take his breath away. Of that he was sure. Tonight he was going to be the most hated man at that dance, because he knew with out a doubt he would have the most beautiful woman on his arm.
"Thanks Harm" Mac kissed him on the cheek. "I'm going to jump in the shower I won't be long." Mac walked in to the bathroom and closed the door behind her. Harm walked over to his suitcase and took out his dark navy suit out. Harm quickly changed. While he was tying his shoelaces, he heard the shower being switched off. He walked to the door and knocked.
"Yeah" Mac said through the door.
"Hey Mac, I'm going down to the car, to get my cell." Harm said
"Why do you need your cell" Mac shouted through the bathroom door.
"I'm going to ring my Mom while you get changed." Harm picked up the room key off the dresser. Since he had his back to the door he didn't see Mac coming out of the bathroom. Mac slowly walked up behind him. Taking the damp towel she had around her neck, Mac smacked him in the six with the damp towel.
"Ouch" Harm jumped, he turned around to see Mac grinning. "I can't believe you did that" Harm rubbed his six were Mac had smacked him with the towel.
"It wasn't much different than say someone, pinching me on the ass" Mac was trying not to laugh, but the lost little schoolboy look Harm was giving her was too much.
"Okay so we're even now" Harm had a huge grin on his face. None of his other girlfriends had the same sense of humour as Mac.
"For now" Mac had an evil glint in her eye one that told Harm she was up to something.
"Okay, I'm just going to make that call. I won't be to long, I hope." Harm kissed Mac on the lips then walked out the and down to the car. He opened the door and took out his cell. He pressed 4 on his speed dial and waited for someone to answer.
"Hello"
"Hey Mom"
"Harm, darling how are you" Trish was surprised that Harm had called. Since he had called her three days ago, she wasn't expecting another call for a week or two, depending on how busy he was.
"I'm great Mom" Harm knew his Mom would be suspicious of this call, so she would probably
"So Harm is there a particular reason why you called."
"Well I was thinking of coming down to visit you tomorrow. I'm in Yuma right now and I thought we would drive down tomorrow."
"We, who's with you Harm" Harm smiled, he knew his Mom would pick up on the "we" part.
"My girlfriend. I thought since we were close by, I'd bring her down to meet you."
"Your girlfriend. You never mentioned anything about you having a girlfriend a few days ago or anything about been in Yuma"
"Well a few days ago I didn't know I'd be in Yuma and I didn't have a girlfriend the last time I called you"
"So are you going to tell me anything about this girl"
"Well the best way I can describe her would be, she's the woman I'm going to marry" Harm held his breath, he knew he's Mom, was going to kill him
"Excuse me, Harm from what you just told me you have been going out with this woman for about three days."
"Exactly we only started going out yesterday...." Before Harm got to finish his Mom interrupted him.
"What, a day. Harm I love you but did you get hit on the head. You have only know this woman for a day" Trish couldn't believe what she was hearing. She couldn't believe that in one day her son knew this was the woman he was going to marry.
"Mom, I have know her for a lot longer than a day, but we have only been going out since yesterday. If you had let me finished, I would have told you that" Harm was trying really hard not to laugh. He knew his mother was going to kill him, when she sees him tomorrow but it was fun listening to her get so worked up over this. Plus he knew when he told her, his girlfriend is Mac, the I told you so speech would start.
"Okay enough, is enough Harmon what is your girlfriends name and have I meet her."
"No you haven't meet her, but I have told you about her and her name is Sarah"
"Sarah, besides your Gram's the only Sarah you have ever talked about was Mac.........." Trish just stopped mid sentence and stared at the phone in her hand, let the information her son had just said sink in. "Mac....Mac is your new girlfriend" Trish hoped it was true. She hoped her son finally got his head out of his six and told Mac how he really felt. If he didn't she will kick his six back to D.C.
"Yeah Mom, Mac is my girlfriend" Harm felt a swell of male pride. The only thing better than calling Mac his girlfriend would be calling her his wife.
"It's about darn time. If it took you long to figure out what we all knew" Trish was so happy. She knew that Sarah has been the one people that Harm has been able to truly count on. She also knew that in Sarah, Harm had found she equal, his soul mate.
"Something tells me when we get back to D.C we will be hearing that a lot." Harm knew just about all there friends had at one time or another been convinced that he and Sarah were in love. Well on that point he couldn't disagree. He believes with all his heart they were truly meant to be.
"Good, you deserve it. I can't wait till I finally meet Sarah. I have to call Frank and book a table at Breaker's and I better start cleaning and I.."
"Mom, I don't want you to go over board. Let's keep to simple you don't want to scare Mac off" Harm couldn't help but laugh. Any other time he had brought a girl home to meet his Mom, she got a bit excited but she had never went this overboard, hell she never went this overboard for him.
"Alright I'll try not to go over the top, just make sure you ring me before you leave. I want to have time to get ready"
"Mom it's a three hour drive I'm sure you'll have plenty of time to get ready." Harm was glad Mac didn't take that long to get ready.
"Harm, if I'm going to meet my future daughter in-law, I want to look my best."
"I know better then to argue with you over this. Anyway I have to go Mac and I have to been at her reunion soon."
"Okay, tell Sarah I can't wait to finally meet her and don't forget to call me before you leave."
"I promise, bye Mom"
"Bye, darling" Harm put her cell in his jacket pocket. He turns and went upstairs. He looked at his watch. 1520.
Damn were going to be late. Harm quickly ran back to his and Mac's room.
"Mac are you ready we have to leave now, otherwise we are going to be late." Harm heard the bathroom door open. He turn's to see Mac leaning against the doorframe. Harm's mouth just dropped to the floor, at the sight of her in the black dress
"WOW, you look beautiful" The dress seemed to stick to her like a second skin.
"Thanks Harm. You don't look to bad yourself." Mac walked over to the bed and grabbed her purse. "Are you ready to go?"
"Almost, but before we leave I want to give you something" Harm reached in to his jacket pocket and pulled out the locket he had bought her.
"It gorgeous, Harm"
"When I seen it in the shop, I knew I had to buy it for you. The lady at the shop told me about how it originally for some Aviator at the base but when it was ready, he never collected it. When I saw the wings on the locket, a conversation we had popped in to my mind. You asked me once what I would give up for you. Will here's my answer." Harm turned the locket over and handed it to her. Mac looked at the locket seeing an inscription written on the back she read it out loud.
"I give you my wings" Mac had tears in her eyes when she looked up at Harm.
"Theirs is nothing in this world that means more to me than you. And I'm going to spend the rest of our life's together proving that to you." Harm took the locket for her and put it on her.
"Harm you don't know how much this means to me. I love you with all my heart, which is why I would never ask you to give up flying. I have finally come to understand your need to fly. It's part of you, it's part the man I fell in love with. I don't want you to change, not for me, not for anyone."
"Flying will always be part of me but I don't need to fly. All I need is you. How about we table this discussion for now. Let's just go to the dance and enjoy ourselves."
"Okay we'll table it for now. About the dance are you sure you don't want to skip it." Mac was still apprehensive about-facing everyone from her past.
"Mac you can't spend the rest of your life running from you past. Tonight you are going to show all of them how well your life has turned out and I promise, you are going to fun tonight" Harm was going to make sure that nothing would ruin her night.
"I hope so Harm." Mac slid her arm around Harm's. Together they walked down to the car. Harm opened Mac's door, before he closed it he bent down and kissed her. He closed he drove and walked over to the drives side. Getting in he started the car and headed to Kofa High School.
