Harm's Apartment

North of Union Station

0900 Romeo

Sunday

"Harm I'm here you ready to go?" Mac called entering his apartment and looking around. She didn't hear anything for a minute and then Harm came out and she jumped a little at his voice.

"Yep now let's go." Harm grabbed his leather flight jacket. It might get windy this afternoon and so he figured why not.

"Did you eat breakfast?" Mac asked.

"Yes I did. Why didn't you?"

"I did, it just might be awhile before we get lunch." Mac shrugged and then Harm locked his door and went down the hall to Mattie's apartment. He carefully unlocked the door and stuck his head in. He could see Mattie's bedroom door was closed, as was Jen's. He tiptoed very quietly into Mattie's room and saw her still asleep. Harm shook his head at her laziness but he pulled the covers up around her and smiled lovingly at her. Mac stood there in the doorway watching and she suddenly saw herself standing next to him with her head on his shoulder watching Mattie. Mac shook away the image and Harm looked up at her and joined her at the doorway.

"Alright then, looks like I need to leave her a note." Harm said as he closed the door. He turned when he heard a yawn. Harm and Mac saw Jen standing there in shorts and a tank top with her long hair sticking out every which a way

"Good mornin' Commander, Colonel. Colonel?" Jen's eyes shot open and she became fully awake.

"What are you doing here?" She asked confused.

"Mac and I are going out for the day and we just wanted to make sure that everything will be under control." Harm explained. Jen nodded.

"Yes, Mattie will sleep until at least noon and then eat and we will watch those Cary Grant DVD's I rented the other night. What time do you think you will be back?"

"Umm not quite sure but I let you know if it's going to be really late." Harm assured her and he and Mac walked out leaving Jen standing they're looking a little tired still and puzzled even more.

Alexandria, VA

35 minutes later

"So Mac where exactly are we going?" Harm asked as they drove.

"You'll see we are almost there." Mac then pulled into an alley off the main road and then after finding a space in the small parking lot they got out.

"Here we are. The wonderful little piece of heaven where I relax." Mac stated smiling and they headed for a brick building. As soon as they entered he knew where they were and he turned on his heel. Mac grabbed the collar of his jacket.

"Oh no you don't Harm."

"There is no way you are going to get me to spend a day at the spa with you. No, no this goes against almost every man code ever." Mac looked at him and rolled her eyes.

"One thing that every man should know is never to say no to a woman especially a Marine."

"Still Mac don't you think this is a little bit much to ask?" Mac's eyes fell and she stuck out her bottom lip.

"Oh I guess you're right, but you did promise and I was really looking forward to it." Harm looked down at her.

"Mac don't give me that look you know I can't stand it. Oh fine! You win!" Harm said and he turned back around. Mac smiled broadly at convincing him. They approached the counter where a blonde was standing. She looked up when they approached.

"Good morning Miss. Mackenzie." The blonde smiled.

"Hello Brittany, I brought Harm with me today." Mac then leaned over the counter,

"It's his first time." She said with a wink, and Brittany smiled.

"Well we don't get very many navy pilots in here. Now I assume you two will be wanting the full treatment today then ma'am?" This drew Harm's attention back into the conversation.

"Yes everything for today." Mac smiled and winked at Brittany.

"Alright then let's get you started, I'm sure you can find your way around Sarah and I don't know if we have a robe big enough for Mr."

"It's Rabb." Mac said still smiling. Harm nodded.

"Alright then Mr. Rabb here is your uniform for today. I'm sure Sarah will fill you in on the schedule today." Brittany handed them two big fluffy terrycloth robes and Mac gestured for him to follow her, which he obediently did. He was thankful to get out of the room where the few women there looked at him oddly as if they had never seen a man in a spa before.

"Okay Harm, now strip down and put the robe on in that room there and then we will be off, don't worry about your clothes there are some shelves, just pick one and stash them there." Mac instructed quickly and then went across the hall to change. Harm stepped in the room and found it empty. It looked a tad like a locker room and he followed Mac's instructions thanking God that no one he knew was here.

When he came out robe clad he saw Mac already waiting for him. He felt a little self-conscience, but he didn't have time to dwell on it as he followed Mac down to the end of the hall.

"Okay first we will be having a full body massage, I think you will like it, the women here are wonderful, they always get the kinks out. That you can't seem to." Mac shrugged and entered the room, which Harm noticed was dimly lit and soft music filtered through it. Another woman walked up to them.

"Morning Ms. Mackenzie, and Mr. Rabb, I'm Clara and this is Cassandra and we will be doing your rub down for today." The woman gestured to a lady who was a mirror image of her and then she told Harm what to do. He felt a little like a dog with all these instructions, but once he was on his stomach on the table with Mac just a few feet away with nothing but a few strategically placed towels he felt much better. He continued to feel more content when he thought it was Cassandra began to work out the numerous kinks in his shoulders and back. He watched Mac lay there with her eyes closed for awhile before starting to nod off. Mac could sense his eyes on her and she whispered.

"This isn't so bad now is it?"

"No, I think I could have one of these everyday, will they come to JAG so I could… wow that feels good!" Mac smiled and opened an eye to see Harm about ready to fall asleep. She closed her eyes again and not much was said between the two of them for the remaining hour.

1hr later

"Mac can we do that again? You know if the rest of the day is just like that, man I think I will have to hang out with you more often. How did you find this place?" Harm bombarded her with questions. He felt much better though a little sleepy.

"Well I forget exactly how now but Harriet and I love to come on our days off. We don't usually stay all day but it's all good now come on we have a schedule to keep we only get the mud baths for a half hour and the clock is ticking." Mac said excitedly and they headed to another doorway.

"Mud baths? Mac what is the point? Isn't it kind of an oxymoron?" He asked following her into another almost empty room there was a gentleman standing by the far wall. This room however was tiled and had large pit sunk into the floor filled to the brim with mud, which amazed Harm.

"You actually… get in this stuff?"

"Yes."

"What is it supposed to do aside from get you dirty?" Mac rolled her eyes.

"It is in a sense an exfoliate for your skin and I think it helps moisturize too, but I mainly like it because of the feel."

"Oh great it's all squishy and mucky, I guess it's only something a Marine could enjoy." Harm stated, and Mac rolled her eyes again.

"Do you want something to drink? Peter here will get something if you want it. By the way Peter how was your trip?" She turned attention to Peter who stepped forward.

"Wonderful, Patty and I had a great time, I will have to show you the pictures sometime. On to business, your usual sparkling cider and for the gentleman." Peter was trying really hard not to laugh, and Harm nodded,

"That would be fine, thank you." Peter smiled and quickly took his leave as soon as the door shut behind him Mac started to untie her robe.

"Turn around Harm, I wouldn't want to give you an eyeful, now would I?"

Harm did just as she said as Mac slipped into the bath she added to him,

"No peeking Flyboy or you will be in big trouble. Okay you can turn around now and come on in the mud is delightful." Harm turned to see Mac up to her shoulders in the brown stuff and he gave it a look and wrinkled his nose.

"You are such a wimp Harm now get in here!" Mac demanded.

"Close your eyes Mac."

"What could you possibly have that I haven't already seen?" She smiled, but closed her eyes and Harm with a look of disgust joined her. It wasn't really all that bad but just the same and he couldn't help but find it slightly awkward to be sitting naked in the mud with Mac. He kept his distance for awhile and was about to say something when Peter returned and then set down two glasses of cider and went on his way. Harm licked his lips.

"Mac, do you know everyone here?"

"Only the Sunday and Wednesday staff that's the only times I come. Why do you ask?"

"Just wondering, they all seem to know you pretty well."

"It's a small place and they are one of like five or six branches, so it's a small operation all around." She took a hand out of the mud and shook some of it off a little bit got flung on Harm's face and she took sip of her cider with out another word until she saw him. He was trying to get the mud off the side of his face. He had been smart and rested his arms on the edge of the tub.

"You know you're going to pay for that." He took a little mud wiped it on her face.

"That wasn't very nice, now it's going to dry up and be all crusty." Mac complained.

"It wasn't very nice to get it on me you know." Harm scooted a little closer to her one of his long arms resting on the deck behind her. Mac shivered a little at the closeness.

"Really, I thought it was an accident, those things happen. As I recall last Tuesday,"

"Mac that wasn't an accident you purposely ran into me and you got lipstick on my uniform so that it looked like we had a makeout session and just before we had to see the Admiral too."

I didn't mean to but that time on April fools day where I put the thong in your briefcase and you opened it during the staff meeting now that wasn't an accident."

"Oh so it was you? You know come to think of it there are a ton of things that I could make 'accidents' out of to spite you." Harm said softly,

"Oh like what?"

"Like this." Harm bent his head and gave Mac a soft kiss, he was about to pull away when Mac grabbed his head in her mud-covered hands and kept kissing him. Harm didn't mind one bit however kept on kissing her. He took one arm off the deck and ran it down a little ways down her back and she pulled out of his hold and broke the kiss.

"Umm we really…. Umm that was…do you know how many regs we just broke right there?" She asked. Harm looked at her his brow furrowed.

"I don't think there is a regulation about fraternizing in a mud bath."

"Still it wasn't something that we as officers should have done."

"Mac we are out of uniform and out of clothes all together."

"I know please don't remind me, it's difficult all ready, if you don't mind I'm going to get out now and shower off." Harm averted his gaze and Mac got out and wrapped a towel around her. When she cleared her throat he looked up at her. His eyes trailed up her mud covered legs up and then their eyes met he said sincerely,

"I'm sorry that was really forward of me, I shouldn't have, like I said once where we are doesn't change who we are. I guess I just forgot." Mac smiled.

"That's just fine and it's not everyday that I get kissed in the mud by a sailor." She then headed off to the shower in the adjoining room where she stood under the cold water trying to regain her wits. She loved the feeling that flowed through her when Harm kissed her. It made her breath short and her heart skip a few beats. She just didn't want to hurt or disappoint him, so she tried to keep her distance, which was becoming steadily harder. One day she would just give in and surrender and she almost had today. She got the remainder of the mud off and grabbed another towel, which she wrapped around herself and stepped out to find Harm who met her in a towel holding her robe in between two fingers that didn't have any mud on them.

"Thanks, you know I could get used to this."

"What me in a towel or me waiting on you hand and foot?"

"Both. Now get cleaned up." Harm smiled and left Mac who went from towel to robe and grabbed both of their glasses and waited for Harm who came out three minutes later in his robe, he was smart and had taken it with him. He shook some of the remaining water out of his hair and then took his glass from Mac.

"Thank you. Now what?"

"Well we will head down to the sanctuary room and hang there for a little while maybe finish our drinks, our next adventure isn't until 1430 so we still have a half an hour or so." They left and headed for a room down another hall. Harm found it the best one so far. It was like a palace garden indoors, complete with flowers and vines and even a fountain and a small pond of some sort.

Mac sat down in one of the wicker chairs and Harm joined her.

"This is my favorite, it's so quiet calming and I love to watch the Koy."

"The what?" Harm asked sitting down next to her.

"Koy are fish. In the pond over there, there are six and I have names for all of them as well." Mac took another drink of her cider and Harm stood and went to look at the fish. Mac soon joined him. She pointed out which on was which.

"See the two orange ones? Their Dwidledee and Dwidledumb. Then the black one with the white patch on his head that looks like he is commanding everyone. That is Admiral of course. Then we have the Lone Ranger that's the orange one with the black face. Then the last two the pure gold one and the white one. I don't have names for them. The gold is the male and the white is the female. They are always together, and according to Brittany they were bought from two different places about eight years ago and they have been together ever since. At first I thought they could be Romeo and Juliet but they weren't the type." Mac shrugged. Harm watched the two for a minute. He noted how the gold one seemed to be protective of the white one and if it was possible a little arrogant, like he had the best female fish in the whole world. Harm looked at Mac who watched them as well. Then he had a strange thought. The way the male fish acted reminded Harm of himself and the female reminded him of Mac if that was probable. Harm smiled if that was a decent metaphor he knew he had the best fish in the sea. Mac was the best catch and the only one he ever wanted to catch in the whole ocean of women. Mac tapped him on the shoulder lightly.

"Look how they follow Admiral around, funny just like we seem to listen and follow our Admiral. That's it! I have their names."

"You do, do you?" Harm said.

"Yes. We will name them after us. Harmon and Sarah."

"You think I look like a fish?" Harm said skeptically, but secretly that was what he thought would be appropriate for their names as well. They went and sat back down in silence each lost in they're own thoughts until Mac stood up.

"It's been a half hour so let's get going, shall we?"

"Okay, sounds alright, so do I get to know where we are going?"

"Well Harm let's just say that for me this will be the least relaxing part of the day."

Okay so now what do you think? Was it too predictable or just right? PLEASE let me know so I can rewrite the next chapter if I have to before I finish it.
