Chapter 5 Dinner and Morning Surprises
Thursday Night
Harm's apartment
5:30pm
"That's insane," Harm said when he heard her plan.
Mac looked hurt for a second. "Then you don't have to come."
"I won't let you do this alone," he said. "It could be dangerous."
"Braking into Athena's house wouldn't be dangerous, but even if it is running off to the CIA was dangerous and you did it anyways."
Harm was about to argue back when the phone rang. He glanced over at Mac who still had a stubborn look on her face, as he answered the phone.
"Mattie!" Harm said.
"Hey," Mattie answered. "Dinner plans remember?"
"Oh right," Harm said, he had completely forgotten.
"You forgot didn't you?"
"No I remembered. Listen Mattie, Mac is going to be joining us."
Mac looked over at him questioning what he just said, but he ignored the look she gave him.
"Great, it'll be nice to have her over. And remember you said you were making your famous chicken pasta with eggplant."
"I remember, but you also promised to help."
"I know," she answered. "I'll be over in a few minutes, bye."
"Bye," Harm said hanging up."
"What was that about?" Mac asked, "And what am I joining you guys for?"
"For dinner," Harm said smugly.
"But, Harm what about my plan? I need to check out Athena's house. What it she left a clue behind?"
"Mac, it is after 5 wait until tomorrow."
"But-
"I don't want you going by yourself and I promised Mattie that you were having dinner with us. She sounded really excited."
"She did?"
"Yes, she did. You don't want to disappoint her."
"Ok....ok, what are we making?"
20 minutes later......
"This is a lot of fun," Mattie said.
"Cooking with us?" Harm asked.
"Yeah, when I was living alone, all I used to eat was cold pizza and take out food. So I just think it's nice to make good food for a change."
"In that case I'm glad you like my cooking," Harm said.
"You mean our cooking," Mac corrected. "I have never tried chicken paste with eggplant and what's with you eating chicken anyways? Aren't you a vegetarian?" Mac asked.
"Half vegetarian, and for your information I like chicken."
"You both are really good cooks," Mattie said.
"But I'm the best one," Harm said.
"I don't think so, Harm."
"You both are equally good cooks," Mattie said solving the disagreement.
Half an hour later their food was done. They piled steaming food onto their plates and sat down at the table. They ate and talked about anything and everything. It was like they were a family a complete family. Mac was really enjoying herself and she noticed that most the sadness from the day had melted away as she talked with Harm and Mattie. Afterwards they cleaned up the kitchen, blew soap bubbles from the sink at each other, and then Mattie went back to her apartment, but not before saying good night to the both of them.
"Thanks for letting me join you and Mattie for dinner," Mac said.
"What do you mean letting you?" Harm asked. "You're always welcome for dinner."
"Thanks," she said with a yawn.
"Here let me find you a pair of pajamas," Harm said noticing how tired Mac was.
"Thanks," yawn
A few minutes later............. "I think these will fit," Harm said walking into the living room with shorts and a navy blue t-shirt. He stopped when he saw her eyes closed. He set the pajamas down and lifted her into his arms before starting toward his bed room. Mac shifted a little but didn't wake up, as he laid her on his bed. He pulled back the covers, pulled her sweater off and tucked her under the soft sheets.
"Good night, Mac" Harm said gently pushing a strand of hair out of her face.
"I love you, Harm," Mac mumbled sleepily.
Harm paused surprised for a second. "I love you too, Mac," He said letting his eyes wander over her sleeping form before leaving the room.
Next morning....
Mac woke up startled. The sun was shining through the window and no trace of clouds or rain could be seen. 'Where am I?' she thought. 'I'm in.....Harm's room...in Harm's bed?'
The events from the day before came rushing back. 'But what am I doing in Harm's bed?' She had no memory of falling asleep in there. 'Harm must have put me in here. I wonder where he slept.' She got out of bed and made her way to the living room. Harm was crashed out on the couch still sound asleep. She reached up to rub her hair and felt it sticking out all over. 'Hope he won't mind me using his shower,' she thought. The warm water poured out on her and she soaked up the warm feeling. She got out of the shower after washing her hair then rapped a towel around herself.
By now Harm had gotten up and had the same thought as she did about taking a shower. He sleepily grabbed clothes from out of his room, took off his shirt and headed to the bathroom.
Mac was just finishing rapping a towel around herself when the door was opened.
"HARM!!!!!" She gasped clutching the towel around herself.
To be continued!!!!
Wasn't that an evil way to end the chapter? Mawahahahahahah!!!!
You'll just have to wait to find out what will happen. Review please.
