Day two, we grabbed a bite to eat

And talked all afternoon

***************************

Mac's Apartment

Sunday December 6

10:45 AM

"Hey,"  Mac said as she opened door to Harm.

"What are you doing today?"  Harm walked into Mac's apartment.

"I was thinking about laundry.  But I am willing to negotiate for a better offer."

Harm chuckled. "How about lunch and the Natural History Museum?"

Mac smiled. "Let me grab my shoes and coat."

The Natural History Museum

1:34 PM

For the past two hours Harm and Mac had been meandering through the museum talking and looking at the different exhibits.  Harm found himself enjoying Mac as she talked about dinosaurs and other facts she knew about the museums exhibits. 

They were currently looking at the Hope Diamond and other minerals and gemstones,  when Mac asked: "You ready for lunch?"

"How about the museum restaurant?"  Harm asked as they walked out of the exhibits room.

"Okay,"  Mac said as Harm placed his hand on the small of her back as they passed through a crowd of people.

3:05 PM

They had finished eating their lunch over an hour ago and had just been talking.  Mac found it amazing, they were enjoying each other's company and only a few times had found themselves talking about work.  Mac took a sip of her drink and smiled at Harm as she thought of an idea.

"I would like to propose a change to the earlier offer,"  Mac said in her lawyer tone.

"To what?"  Harm asked not knowing what Mac was thinking.

"How about spending the rest of the afternoon in the Air and Space Museum?"

Harm gave Mac his best and fullest smile. "Offer accepted."

Mac's Apartment

6:56 PM

"I had a great time,"  Mac said as she and Harm walked to her apartment's door.

Harm smiled at her as he thought about the afternoon after lunch.  They went the Air and Space Museum and he knew that Mac did it for him, just as he did earlier in the day in the Natural History Museum.  Mac smiled and listened as he talked about the different planes and the advances that had been made in aviation. 

"So did I," he said as she unlocked the door.

Mac opened the door and turned to him. "Do you want to come in for coffee?"

Harm wanted to say yes but he couldn't. "I want to but I have to write the Jenkins brief for tomorrow. Sorry."

"I understand," Mac said slightly disappointed.

"I'll see you tomorrow."

"Good night, Harm."  Mac lightly touched his hand.

Harm smiled at her touch and decided to do something different. He leaned down and lightly kissed her cheek.  "Good night, Mac," he softly said before turning around and walking down the hall.

Mac blushed slightly from his kiss and walked into her apartment thinking about the day with Harm.
