AN: Ok it's not over yet! You guys convinced me to keep going on with the story. Yay! I don't know how good these chapters are going to be though. The other 5 chapters I had pre written before I had posted them on this. But since you guys convinced me to keep going I don't have these next few chapters planed out, yet. Also homework has been really stressful lately. I have a poem assignment to get ready for, plus a Biology essay that I have been constantly working on for the last few days. I also decided to continue this because the season finally of Jag kind of inspired me to. Don't ask me how it did, I just felt inspired by Webb dieing off the show, and Mac finally confiding in Harm about what the doctor told her. But this new fanfic chapter doesn't have anything to do with what was going on in the season finally. I sort of had mixed feeling about the season finally. I was happy about the Webb thing but I was sad that the Admiral and Harriet weren't going to be working with them anymore. Oh well I would like to also hear what you guy thought about the season finally. Now officially on with the story……..
Chapter 6 Dinner
The stars were still twinkling high in the sky as Harm and Mac arrived 15 minutes later to a local restraunt. They were in their extremely fancy outfits but since this restrant was equally as fancy, they didn't feel out of place at all. They were immediately shown to a booth off to the side of the restrant, as they walked into the door.
"You guys don't mind sitting here do you?" Asked the seater, nervously.
"Not at all," said Mac sensing the young girl's nervousness.
"Thanks, sorry that it's really big. All the small couple tables are already filled up, all you can see;" she added looking around the room.
"This is fine," Harm said as he and Mac scooting into the booth.
"Great," said the girl cheerfully. "I am Valerie. Your waitress Danielle, will be here soon to take your orders. While you are waiting taste the bread and the different spreads," she added as she left them, to enjoy themselves.
After the seater left, Mac said, "Wow Harm. This place is fancy. I have never been here. Where did you hear about this place?" she added letting her eyes trail over the area they were seating at. The restraunt was huge, but it had an fancy but layed back allure, calm atmosphere and a classy feeling. It also had a Italian, roman, Greek feeling of about it. There were roman looking statues, and pools of water were running from the built in water fountains that added to the atmosphere, kind of transported them, so that they got the feeling that they were somewhere in Greece or Italy.
"I was told by Bud and Harriet that this place had the best food that they have ever tried. Bud said, and I quote, You have never tasted food until you come here to Mystic."
Mac took out a big piece of warm sourdough bread and devouered it.
"Jezzzz Mac slow down."
"What? I spent most of the night looking for you and I never got to try the food there."
"How is the bread," asked Harm, as he couldn't help but try it. They way Mac was eating it made it look really good.
"Well, Bud wasn't lying. It's great!"she answered.
"I wonder what this is?" asked Harm, as he opened the pot revieling six different hot spreads for the bread. He and Mac spent the next few minutes sampling the different garlic and cheese spreads that were layed out infront of them, as they read their menu's.
"Do I really have to eat-"
"Yes," said Mac cuting his words off. "You have to eat steak. I kepted my part of the bargain, you have to do the same," she added eyeing him over the top of her menu.
A second later the waitress came to take their orders.
"I'm Danielle. I'll be you waitress tonight. Do you guys want to start off with some drinks?"
"What do you want to drink?" asked Harm, speaking to Mac.
"Uuuhhhh....wine sounds good.How about Zinfindel?"
"Thats fine with me," answered Harm. "Two glasses," he said to the waitress.
"Ok...she said writing down the drink order. Are you guys ready to order, or do you need some extra time?"
"We are ready to order," said Mac looking at Harm, who nodded in agreement.
"Mac you go first," Harm said.
"Ok...I'll have a cesar salad, and the speggittii and meat balls."
The waitress scribled the order and then turned to Harm. He gulped. It was his turm to order what he had been dreading to order all night. "I'll have the Specialty steak, with mashed potatoes, and a side salad."
Then Mac added, "Give him the biggest steak that you can find."
The waitress looked at her questionably and she explained, "He hates steak and we had a bet and he lost."
"I did not lose," Harm protested.
"We both losted, but still give him the big steak."
" I see," the young lady said. "I think we have a supersized steak in the kichen."
"Thats not nessasary," said Harm.
"Oh I think it is," Mac insisted.
Harm gave her a dirtly look as the waitress left with their orders.
"So what did you think of the ball tonight?" Harm asked.
"Finding you was the high point of my night," Mac admited. "Expecally seeing the look on your face when you saw me in this dress."
Harms face changed colors for a second,then he said, "Didn't you have a good time?"
"Well at least 12 or more buisness men kept hitting on me, while I was trying to find you."
"I know how you feel."
"Really? Did you have buisness men hitting on you?"
"Mac you know what I mean, you saw that woman following me around, add that by about fifty unwanted number and you get my evening."
"Now that I think about it, the ball wasn't that bad. What I mean is that I heard that all the buisnesses that participated donated generously," Mac said.
"Thats good to know that the Ball raised money for the soilders over seas."
They were silent for a few seconds that Mac said. "Where is Mattie tonight?"
"Matties staying with a friend of mine tonigh."
"That's good," said Mac, "I wondered where she was." They were silent for another few seconds then Mac said, "You know that I ow you a apolgy."
"What are you talking about?" asked Harm.
"In Parague. I never said I'm sorry for... the things I said."
"Mac...You don't have to-
"Yes I do Harm. Exepecally the last thing I said about us not working. I want to still make it work, if you want to," she said as her voice became almost a whisper.
Time seemed to freeze arond them, as he thought of what she just said. The he replied, "I think thats-
"Harm? Mac?" came a voice from behind them, cutting of Harm in mid sentence. They turned around to see Harriet and Bud coming their way.
"Really bad timing," whispered Harm under his breath, as Mac tried to hid a smile that was creeping onto her face.
