AN: This is most likely the last part of this story. I wanted to wrap it up
so that I can completely focus on the other story I'm writing. Great thanks
to everyone who has reviewed!
Part 5
"The game starts in twenty minutes," Harm informed Sturgis as he sat down. Sturgis Turner, his old friend from the academy, had joined the JAG HQ two weeks ago.
"I'm surprised you have a TV," Sturgis told him.
"I haven't been so busy lately and had a lot of time at my hands, I guess," Harm tried to shrug it off "Everyone has a TV nowadays. It's not a big deal," he continued to defend himself,
"Take it easy, Harm," Sturgis said and smiled. He accepted the beer Harm offered him.
"So have you..." Harm started asking, but was interrupted by a knock on the door. He stopped talking and went over to open the door.
There was no one else he would have rather seen there. In her green uniform and tired eyes with a slight flame of fire and hope, he had never seen a sight as beautiful. The world around them seemed completely unimportant.
"Mac," he breathed out. There was a millisecond and then they were in each other's arms. They had their arms wrapped around each other's bodies, but that wasn't enough. Mac searched out Harm's mouth and the kiss and soon grew as they opened their mouths and they could fully taste each other in ways they never had before.
Mac stepped forward and Harm backed into the apartment so Mac could close the door behind them.
"Harm," she sighed into his mouth. Something in the corner of her eye moved and caught her attention. She jumped back, away from Harm, but because she was almost propped up against the door, she only accomplished to hit her head on it.
Harm realized that he'd totally forgotten that Sturgis was there.
"Ehm... this is..." he stammered and moved away from her slightly, but didn't quite let go of her, his one arm was still around her back. He wouldn't have been able to lose the physical contact. It was hard to tell who was most embarrassed by the situation, but Sturgis was the one who was most able snap out of it.
"Sturgis Turner," he reached out his hand towards Mac and she took it.
"Sarah Mackenzie," she was almost afraid to look into his eyes and when she looked down on her uniform jacket she noticed that three of the buttons had been opened. Once Sturgis released her hand she quickly buttoned them up again.
"You must be the girl who's got Harm," he said and chuckled a little. At this moment though he was the only one had enough distance to find the whole situation amusing. He grabbed his jacket from the chair where he'd put it when he'd entered the apartment.
Mac looked questionly at Harm wanting to get an explanation from him. Who was this man? Why hadn't Harm said he was there? And most of all what exactly did he mean by that last comment?
"Sturgis is the new lawyer at JAG. Mac is also stationed at JAG HQ," Harm managed to explain. The rest of Mac's questions were left for the while being.
"I'll see you both tomorrow then," Sturgis said and Harm and Mac stepped away from the door so he could move out.
Harm couldn't get it into him to say that he was sorry their game-watching had been caught short. He just couldn't lie about that.
When the door was shut behind Sturgis, Harm and Mac looked at each other still rather embarrassed.
"You should have told me you had company," Mac said after a minute of awkward silence.
"Yeah, I know... I kind of forgot... I guess you have that affect on me," Harm said and smiled at her hoping she'd forgive him.
"You're funny," she smiled back and moved back into the position right in front of him. Her hand were on his hips, but that was the only physical contact they had at the moment "That was not exactly the way I like to be introduced to my new co-workers in," Mac complained a little more.
"This way at least he won't get any ideas when he first sees you," Harm said and moved a little closer to Mac. They were now so close that even though they weren't actually touching they could feel the presence of the other person's body with their whole being.
"What do you mean?" Mac asked confused.
"I mean that way he won't get any ideas about trying to steal you away from me," Harm explained.
They both leaned forward and their mouths met in a slow and sweet kiss. It was slower this time. They were in no hurry. Mac had come back.
"Harm, I'm in love with you too," Mac whispered into his mouth "I'm sorry it took so long for me to tell you back."
Harm didn't say anything back. He just swept her off her feet and lifted her up. They were on their way to his bedroom. Mac started working on opening the top buttons of his shirt. Nothing had ever felt more right.
