Well here is the rest of the song and their thoughts. I hope everyone is enjoying the story. Thanks so much for the ones that reviewed. For those who didn't, I hope you like the story also. I'm not asking for people to review, but I really do enjoy reading everyone's opinion. I'm leaving in a few hours and will be out of town this weekend, so I may not get to write again till Monday. That's also if I don't decide to blow up my computer. I promise to update as soon as possible.
You're the reason I live
You're the reason I die
You're the reason I give when I break down and cry
Don't need no reason why
Mac's POV
Turning into the hotel parking lot, Mac pulled her car into thee first available spot. As the last verse played, Mac came to a conclusion once and for all, and nothing was going to change her mind.
I'm tired and fighting my feelings for Harm anymore. I can come up with 100 reasons why I should walk away, but there is only one reason why I should stay and fight. It's the one reason that overpowers them all. I love him. It's as simple as that. I don't want to hide behind this marine persona anymore. I want him to love me the way I love him.
Doesn't he realize he's the reason I spend and extra 20 minutes on my hair and makeup even though we are only having a working dinner, and I'm not even going to venture a guess as to how long it takes me to pick out something to wear. I would much rather wear him, but that is our dilemma.
Does he even know what that grin of his does to me? I know I told him it doesn't work on me, but I was definitely lying. I could have the crappiest day known to man, and all he would have to do is smile at me. When he does that, I get so weak in the knees that I can hardly speak. He could ask me to climb Mt. Everest naked, and I would do it in a New York minute. I would do anything for him, just as he would do the same for me.
Doesn't he realize he's the reason I get chills down my spine when our hands just barely touch when he hands me a cup of coffee. Or when I add that extra sway to my hips when I'm walking away from him. I am a red- blooded woman, and it is time for me to get me that man!
With a newfound determination, Mac exited her vehicle and began making her way back to the hotel, hoping to settle the score with one Harmon Rabb Jr. She wiped away the tears she didn't even realize were still flowing from her eyes. What she didn't realize was that Harm arrived back at the hotel just minutes after her, and he was parked just a few cars away.
Harm's POV
I can honestly say that I never thought a song could have such a profound effect on me. If anything, this song has helped me to realize what has been in front of me all this time. It has helped me to face my emotions, and start conquering my demons. It is with Mac's help that I hope to overcome them all. That is if I didn't sink the chance I have with her.
If she only knew the effect she has on me. Hell, I didn't even realize it until this song came on. How could I be so blind to not see what's been in front of me all this time? I guess I never really thought of her as anything more than my best friend. (Yeah, right, and I got ocean front property in Arizona' the little voice chuckled). Ok so I did think of her more than just a friend. ('There you go. It's good to be honest with yourself'). Mac is the reason I want to be a better person. She makes me want to let my defenses down and let people get close again.
When I was searching for my father, he was the reason I lived and breathed. I would die trying to find him. I remember telling that to Mac once. I had such an intense loyalty to him that I didn't think it could ever be replace. Well, it wasn't exactly replaced. I just augmented it to fit someone just as special to me.
I will always love my dad, but what I feel for Mac is almost unexplainable. I don't know how to even begin to describe it. All I can say is that I don't know what I would do if I lost Mac. If it did happen, it would be like a piece of my heart died, and it would never be replaced.
Man if she only knew what she does to me. I have never met anyone as passionate as Mac. Watching her in the courtroom, my thoughts wonder just how passionate she would be in my bed. She just looks at me with those beautiful brown eyes of hers, and I get lost in their depths. I would sell my plane to see her smile. It's as if it brightens the room she is in. And that laugh. It could chase away any darkness in my mind. I bet Mac would laugh at me if she knew the real reason I show up at her place late. I do it to see the look she has on her face. She'll open the door with a look of frustration, but I can see that smile behind her eyes. I know she says my grin has no effect on her, but I beg to differ. All I do is smile and apologize. She may get a little pouty or picky (of course she doesn't pout), but I know she'll forgive me.
I'll do anything to feel her soft skin just barely brush against mine. Such a simple action makes the temperature rise a few degrees ('that isn't the only thing that rises'). You know I need a mute button for that voice. Now look at me. I'm having a conversation with myself about a voice I created. You got it bad Rabb. You know I think it's time I end this conversation with myself and go after my marine.
Harm quickly got out of his car and made his way to the hotel, and that's when he saw her.
Whew....Well I finally finished the song. Ran into a little writer's block and took a sledgehammer to it. Hope you enjoyed it so far. Now all you need to do is click on that little lilac button and review. Come on....you know you want to. (devil grin)
