fanfiction. Feedback is welcome but please by gentle. ((Gentle by good,
lol))
From Part 1: "Mac..Sarah..I was us to have a child together.and I don't want to wait any longer for us to have it." I watch her.she's now the speechless one. I brush a strand of hair out of her face and smile when it falls right back down. "Say something.please."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ "Harm.I.what brought this on? I mean why is there a sudden need for a child? Don't you think we should at least.well try being more to each other before we have a child?"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Part 2
I smile. "I thought you'd say that." I get down on one knee and pull a small black velvet box out of my pocket. "My grandfather gave this ring to my grandmother.when I first told her about you.she told me that she'd keep it until I was ready to give it to my Sarah. I'm ready for that now.I love you, Sarah.and I would be honored if.Sarah Mackenzie.will you marry me?" I hold my breath as I wait for her reply
My mouth drops open slightly as I stare at the man knelt down in front of me. "Harm.I.wow.I don't know what to say."
"I was kind of looking for 'Yes, Harm.I'll marry you' or something along those lines" He says giving me his best flyboy grin.
"Harm.listen to me.okay? Because I know how you're going to react and that you aren't going to really hear me out."
He swallows hard and shuts the ring box. He shakily stands up. "I'm.listening."
"Harm..this is important for you to understand.I'm not saying no.but I'm also not saying yes.at least not yet." I see the twinkle in his eyes immediately disappear. He looks like someone just ran over his dog. "Harm, listen to me.we've yet to even go on a real date.we've never been an 'us'.it wouldn't be fair to bring a child into this already."
He simply nods. I can see the hurt in his eyes, but he understands. "Okay, Mac.we'll.take it slow. Do you have plans for next Friday night?"
"Valentine's Day?" I smile. "Wouldn't want to spend it with anyone but you."
His flyboy grin is back. "Great.I'll pick you up.wear something formal."
"Harm.you know I don't own anything like that."
"Then go shopping."
I laugh. "Only for you."
He laughs and looks out the window. "Wow.it's really coming down out there."
I walk over and look out the window and the thick blanket of white freezing the ground. "Harm.you can't drive home in this."
"What do you suggest?" He raises his eyebrow.
"I'll make up the couch for you."
"Party pooper." He teases.
I playfully roll my eyes and go get a couple blankets and a pillow from my room and lay them out on the couch. "Night Harm." I turn to see he's already stripped down to his boxers. My breath catches and my heart begins to race as my body begins, not for the first time, to ache painfully for the man in front of me.
"Night, Sarah.." He moves to me. "Do I get a goodnight kiss?" He gives me his best flyboy grin.the one that makes my knees grow week.
"Uh.yeah." I lean up and kiss his lips softly. He pulls me closer and I feel his tongue gliding across my lips, seeking entrance. I open my mouth to him and his tongue plunges hungrily into my mouth, exploring.plundering.claiming. I cling to him, caressing his tongue with my own in an age old duel. I reluctantly break the kiss when the need for air finally wins out. "Night." I retreat to my room before I can no longer fight the urge to jump his bones. I get ready and climb under the covers and fall asleep, fantasizing about my flyboy.
