Back in Mac's office
"I can't believe we're going to the beach!" Mac's smile lit up his heart and he couldn't resist taking her in his arms.
"Yea me either, but I can't believe the admiral was the one who suggested it."
"Yea I know."
"Well we can't go out on our date now."
"We're going to the beach together, flyboy, so we can be together as if we aren't every day."
"Well at least we'll have fun, but I can't tickle you if front of everyone."
"Oh why can't you tickle me in front of everyone?"
"You want them to see me tickle you?"
"I could care less if they see you tickle me or not."
"Harm got a mischievous grin on his face, "Okay whatever you say." They had a quick kiss that turned out to be longer than expected and Harriet decided to tease them, "Oh break it up you two." She giggled, "Save it for the beach!"
Harm and Mac broke apart and burst into laughs. Harriet walked away and they let go of each other and packed their stuff up. They were ready to leave. They got their stuff together and left the building.
Harm's Apartment
They arrived at Harm's Apartment a little while later and Harm went into his bedroom to change.
"I'm gonna make some coffee. Meet me in the kitchen when you're done in there honey, okay?"
"No problem, baby." He flashed his smile and Mac almost went weak in the knees.
Mac went to the kitchen. She poured the water in the coffee maker and set the dial. She made sandwiches, salads, and snacks for the road. Somehow she knew they were gonna stop for lunch along the way. She started reading something from a magazine and suddenly the hair at her ear was being moved and she started shrugging her shoulder, but he blew in her ear so lightly, she shrieked and tried to cover her ear, but he kissed it so she couldn't. She was trying to hold in her giggles, but that didn't work since he poked her side and she gave up trying to struggle and gave in to his lips against her ear, causing high-pitched squeals and giggles to erupt from her. He nibbled her neck where she was really ticklish, which just caused uncontrollable giggles to come out of her. Finally he stopped to let her catch her breath. "One…of these days…I'm gonna get you back…for all of the things you do to me." She grinned mischievously.
He bent down to her ear and whispered in a sweet bed room voice, "Not if I can help it because I have ways of making-*Mac just shut her eyes and listened to his sexy voice. His voice was enough to make her weak at times*-you give in to things, don't I sexy?"
"Yes…yes you do." She said breathless.
He wrapped his arms around his waist and this time blew very lightly into her ear, "I always have ways of making you do something, don't I?" He could feel her heart start to race, "So the marine becomes weak when it comes to whispering in a sweet bed room voice in her ear, huh? Is that another one of her weaknesses? Being seduced by a certain someone?" He whispered, Mac's heart now pounding and it nearly jumped out of her chest when he started kissing her neck. She arched her neck for him to get better access. She breathed heavily by the time he turned her around in his arms to kiss her lips; she had gone weak-kneed and was a bowl full of jell-O in his arms.
They broke apart and Mac seriously thought she was going to fall if he didn't have a strong grip on her. "You really know how to make me weak and jell-O in your arms don't you?"
He grinned sexily, "All I need to do is whisper softly and sexily in your ear and you're gone." He said in a voice that made her knees buck again and he caught her. "And I can tell you like it when I do that."
"How can you tell?"
"Because your heart was racing and you didn't want to get out of my arms."
"Yea, that's very true and you get me so easily because you can seduce me to anything." She circled her arms around his neck and entwined her fingers. "And as much as I would love to stay here in your warm arms and be seduced by you, we have to get ready to go. We have packing to do and not a lot to do it in. We have an hour and forty-five minutes to get packed and get back to JAG headquarters. We don't want to be late for the admiral again, do we?" She teased playfully.
"No we don't."
They let each other go and Mac put their lunches into a small cooler and they went to finish packing.
Bud and Harriet's house
"AJ ROBERTS! Get over here right now!" Harriet chased him.
"NO!"
"Bud can you get him?"
"Sure sweetie. AJ
get over here right now, buddy!" He ran and caught his son. "Can you please be good? We have to pack for
a vacation. You're coming too buddy,
but mommy and daddy need your cooperation so we can get done."
He put puppy dog eyes and a pouting lips on his face, "I'm sorry, daddy."
"It's okay, AJ."
Back at Harm's apartment
"Harm?" She walked out of the bathroom and up the stairs there. "Harm!"
"What?"
"Think fast!"
He turned around just in time to have a towel thrown onto his head.
"Put that in the suit case for me." She tried to hold her laughs in but couldn't. She started laughing a storm. She didn't think he was going to do anything, but then he quickly made his move. He ran for her and her marine senses kicked in and she stepped out of his reach and ran for the couch. They circled the couch and ran back into the bedroom. Mac jumped onto the bed and Harm had a disadvantage.
"Come on, you can't do that!" He whined.
"Oh yes I can and I just did." She walked to the edge of the bed and bent down, resting her hands on her knees and put her face inches from his and smiled.
"What? You want a kiss?"
"Of course I want a kiss." He played with her and walked away, "Well that's too bad, cause you ain't getting one." She grabbed his hand before he walked away. She gave him puppy eyes and her lip sticking out. "May I please have a kiss? Please please please?" and he caved.
"Well since you asked so nicely." He grinned. He took her hands and helped her off the bed. They entwined their fingers. He pulled her towards his and sealed their mouths together. They didn't mean for it to get so intense. They pulled apart panting, "Wow! We always seem to have more intense and passionate kisses then we plan to."
"That's because we love each other and you can't plan love."
He gave her a shocked/amused expression, "Mmm, very impressive."
"Thank you. I'm very smart."
Harm laughed, "That you are."
"I'm so smart, I'm smarter than you." She grinned and stepped out of his arms.
"Oh really? You think you're smarter than me, do you?" He grabbed her waist and tickled her sides and Mac squirmed and laughed.
"Yes…yes I do!" She continued laughing, unable to stop. She leaned against the bathroom wall and slide down it, hoping he would stop, but he didn't. She continued laughing and tried to move his hands from her sides but she was becoming too weak, so she just gave in, "Okay…hahahahahah, I give…hahahahaha…I give, stop!"
"Geez, you can really get me laughing."
He gave her a cocky grin, "Oh that was nothing. You're gonna get it a lot worse when we go to the beach."
"Oh boy, is that something to look forward to?"
"I don't know if that is, but I know something that you can look forward to."
"Oooo, what would that be?"
He leaned down to her lips, "Lots of these." And he kissed her lips.
She sat up and deepened it. They kissed for a few minutes then Mac suddenly pulled apart and got up.
"Mac what's wrong?" Harm asked concerned.
"We gotta get outa here flyboy! We have about 20, 30 minutes to get there."
"Oh shit you're right." He stood up as he looked at the clock on the nightstand.
"Don't worry we can finish that kiss later."
"Oh you bet we will."
Bud and Harriet's house
"Alright, AJ is packed." Bud said putting AJ's small suitcase by his bedroom door.
"Okay one down, two to go." Harriet replied, still packing her stuff.
Bud walked into their bedroom and got his stuff. He put his clothes in his suitcase. "How many days are we going to be gone for?"
"Probably three or four days."
"Alright I think I packed enough then."
"Yea me too. I'm done."
"Okay, give me your suitcase and I'll bring all three downstairs."
"I can bring AJ's down."
"Alright. Give me yours." Harriet handed Bud her suitcase. He picked it up, "Wow, someone likes to pack light.'
"I didn't need that much."
Bud took the suitcases and brought them downstairs.
"Do you want to eat something before we go?" She called down to Bud as she grabbed AJ's suitcase. "Come on AJ, we have to go."
"Okay, mommy."
"What time did we have to be back there?"
"1330."
"What time is it now?"
"1310."
"Okay we can get lunch on the road."
"Sure."
Harm's Apartment
"Harm we gotta get going. We have twenty-seven minutes to get back to JAG."
"Okay I'm ready. All we have to do is put the suitcases in the car."
"I'm hungry. Should we eat before we go?"
"No we won't have enough time. We can eat on the road, baby."
"Alright."
"Okay lets go, we have everything."
They grabbed their stuff and locked the apartment door and went to the SUV. They put their stuff in the back trunk and got into the vehicle and left for JAG headquarters.
Bud and Harriet's house
They were packed and ready to go. They grabbed their stuff.
"Come on, AJ. Time to go, sweetie." Harriet went into the kitchen to grab a box of animal crackers for him in the car."
"We're getting something to eat on the road, Harriet."
"I know, but you know AJ, he gets hungry all the time so I figured I'd bring a box of animal crackers so he can eat whenever he wants to."
"You're a smart woman, Harriet." Bud smiled and laughed.
"Thanks, honey."
"Well we better get going if we want to get there by 1:30."
"Alright. I'll put the suitcases in the SUV. Meet me outside once you get AJ and lock the door."
"Alright."
JAG Headquarters
The admiral got out of his car to wait for the others to show up. They showed up on time and the admiral was impressed. Harm got out of the car and the admiral raised an eyebrow, "On time are we, Commander?"
"What can I say, Mac has and internal clock."
"Yeah, we all know that." The admiral laughed.
Mac got out of the car and Harm walked over to her, "What are you saying about me and my internal clock?" she had a playfully tough look on her face.
"Nothing, baby." He said sweetly and her tough act was gone. His sweet-talking always got her. Harm paused, remembering something, "And now for that kiss that you said had to be finished." He trapped her between him and the car, and lowered his lips to hers. She gave in completely and deepened it. It was starting to get really passionate and the admiral thought he would break it up before it got out of hand so he whistled. Harm and Mac broke apart and Harm looked at the admiral, "Sorry, she owed me that from before."
"Hey no problem with me. That was one passionate kiss."
Harm turned back to Mac to find her cheeks were red and decided to tease his blushing girlfriend, "Uh-oh the big bad marine is blushing, is she?" and then added in a whispering voice to her ear and winked, "Maybe I should kiss her more often in front of the admiral."
Mac started laughing, "Very funny, hun."
"I know aren't I?" He gave his best flyboy smile.
She gave his lips a peck, "Oo, I love you!" and giggled.
Harm laughed, "I just love it when you giggle."
That just caused her to giggle more, "I know."
She leaned her head against his chest and he wrapped his arms around her waist. They waited for everyone else to arrive. Bud and Harriet arrived a minute later and Sturgis a minute later. They all got out of their cars and Harriet looked at Harm and Mac and smiled, pulling out her camera, "You two look so cute like that, don't move let me take a picture." Harriet giggled. Harm and Mac both shook their heads and stood still for a picture.
"We want a copy of that when you get it developed, Harriet." Mac said.
"Sure thing, ma`am."
"Alright people lets get moving."
They all got back into their cars and followed the admiral out of JAG headquarters and made their way down the road to the highway for the beach.
One hour later
Bud and Harriet radioed to the admiral that they had to stop because little AJ had to go to the bathroom. They pulled over into a small restaurant and everyone got out to stretch while Harriet brought AJ into the bathroom.
Mac was stretching when Harm came over and poked her sides. Mac giggled and leaned back into Harm. Harm kissed her hair and Sturgis smiled at the closeness of his two close friends. Harriet and little AJ came out of the restaurant.
"Do we want to stop for a minute and have something to eat?" Harriet asked the crew.
"Sure if you guys want to." The admiral said to the rest.
"Yea." They all said together.
They opened the back of their cars and pulled out a cooler.
