Chapter 2 of Never Let Go.

From the last chapter...

Mac's POV-

TV is doing nothing for my growing desire to talk to Harm, all that's on is love or shoot'em up movies neither is what I like to watch. Maybe I should send my fears to Hades and call Harm, what's the worst that could happen? The phone ringing interupts my thoughts

"Lt. Col. Mackenzie."

"Hey."

"Hey, I was just about to call you."

"Oh, well I was just calling to see if you wanted to go see a late movie, or rent a few and come over to my place?"

"Sure, how about you order some pizza and I'll get a few movies."

"Alright. See you at, say 2030?"

"I'll be there."

"See you later."

"Bye."

"Bye."

I guess I better go get some movies, and maybe I'll think of a way to tell him how I feel, I can't stand to not tell him, it's killing me inside. I'm going to tell him tonight that I love him with all my heart.



Same time

Harm's POV-

"Bye."

Well, that was easier than I thought it would be. After hearing her voice I've decided that I can't live another day with her knowing how I feel about her. I'm going to tell her tonight that I love her with all my heart.

Chapter 2--

Mac's POV-

I'm at the video store and I can't decide what to rent. At first I was thinking a romance to set the mood. But that doesn't seem like Harm's type of thing. Then I thought maybe an action. But the mood wouldn't be right after that. Maybe a nice romantic comedy, it seems like the type he'd watch and maybe I can find one that can lead me into expressing the feelings I've been holding in for over 5 years. I finally decide to get Kate and Leopold, and Anchors Aweigh for good measure. I should head over to Harms now. I'm never late for anything, and he'll worry if I'm not there by 2030.

Harm's POV-

Same time

After I called the pizza parlor to get one extra large Harm and Mac special, I went into my bedroom to change out of my uniform, and into something more comfortable. 'I really need to go shopping for some better clothes' I say outloud to myself. 'Get a hold of yourself Rabb! It's just Mac coming over for some pizza and a movie. Nothing you haven't done before.' I say to myself. "But that's the problem. It's Mac! The women that I love." I shout to myself. I decided to wear a pair of nice blue jean shorts and a Navy t-shirt. I wonder what Mac wil be wearing, if she comes dressed nice I could always say I didn't have time to change into something nicer, and go dress to match her style. Just then I heard a knock on the door, probably the pizza guy. As I walked to the door I take a quick detour to the window, and not seeing Mac's 'vette, I figure its the pizza.

"How much do I owe you?" I say as I open the door. "$13.72." I hand him $20 and tell him not worry about the change, and he thanks me with a large smile and walks away. I set the pizza on the counter and open the fridge to get some water out, only to find that I've only got 1 bottle. I look at my watch and see that it's only 2010, enough time to run and get some liquid refreshment before Mac gets here. But I write her a note just in case she comes early.

Mac,

I had to run out to get some drinks, hopefully I'll be back in about 10 minutes. If not, go on and start on the pizza and help yourself to the 1 bottle of water in the fridge and I'll be back shortly.



-Harm

And with that I'm out the door and on my way to the store.



Mac's POV-

I get to Harm's apartment at 1915 and find note on the counter that says he's gone to the store. I go over the TV and put in Kate and Leopold, so all we have to do is press play on the DVD player. Then back to the kitchen where I hop up on a stool and wait for Harm to come back.



15 minutes later....

"Hey." Harm says as he opens the door, flashing me that Flyboy grin that makes me glad I'm sitting.

"Hey, I was beginning to think you had gotten lost."

"The line at store was long."

"It's okay, I've only been here for 19 minutes and 23 seconds."

"How do you do that?"

"Do what?" She asked innocently.

"Do that thing..knowing exactly the time down to the second, without looking at a clock."

"Hmm, I'll tell you later... If you're good." She smiled at she turned to get some plates for the pizza.

"What movies did you get?" Harm asked when they sat down on the couch.

"Kate and Leopold and Anchors Aweigh for you."

"Aww, you really do care." Harm said jenking with her.

"More than you know." Mac said under her breath.

"What did you say?"

"Nothing." She said putting on a fake smile.

But Harm saw right through it. "Mac, tell me what you said."

"I said more than you know."

"What does that mean?"

"I'll tell you after the movie."

"Okay. What are we watching first?"

"Kate and Leopold."

"Alright, lets get it started."

"Just press play on the DVD player."

About 1/2 way through the movie Mac started to get sleepy, and couldn't keep her head up, Harm saw that she was having trouble staying awake and gently put her head on his shoulder to let her know that she could lean on him. She accepted the offer with a smile.

By the time the movie was over with, Mac was asleep on Harms shoulder. He didn't wake her right away, he just stared for a minute, taking in her beauty. He knew at that second that he didn't have a choice, he had to tell her he loved her, he couldn't live one more minute with having her at least know that.

"Mac... The movie's over."

"Hmm...?" Mac moaned, snuggling in closer to him.

"The movie's over, and I want to talk to you."

"Okay, and I want to talk to you too. But you go first."

"Okay, here it goes. I've realized something in the last few days, something that I've known for 6 years, but haven't had the courge to tell you." Harm said nervously. "Sarah Mackenzie, I love you, I've loved you for 6 years now, and have just now realized that I can't and don't want to live without you in my life. Or at the very least, have you know how I feel."

By this time Mac had tears in her eyes that were ready to spill over.

"What did you want to talk to me about?"

"I was going to tell you the exact thing you just told me." Mac said crying happy tears. "I love you, Harm." She said as she fell into his strong arms.

By this time, Harm was getting teary eyed too. "Will you stay here tonight? And just let me hold you in my arms all night?"

"If we can go to my apartment to get some clothes and other things."

"Let's go then."

"Not until I do this." Mac said, pulling him in for the most waited for kiss ever. "Now we can go." She said when they pulled apart.

"You should probably drive, I'm not sure I'm capable after what you just did." He smiled.

"Alright, let's go."

After a quick trip to Mac's place to get some essentials for the next day, the two returned to Harm's apartment, where they fell asleep happily snuggled together.

They didn't know what the next day would bring, and how the Admiral would take their news, but for the moment they were happy simply being in each others arms.

"Harm.." Mac said sleepily

"Hmm?"

"Promise me something."

"Anything." He said looking at her.

"Promise me you'll never let go."

"I promise."

"Goodnight, I love you."

"I love you too, Sarah. Goodnight." Harm said giving her a light kiss on her lips.



---'Cause you know that I love and never let go. And you know, that I'll love you forever, I love and never let go. Yes I love you and never let go.- --
