Chapter 2: The Dinner
5:59 Local
Mac's Apartment
Georgetown, VA
Mac answered the door to see Harm standing there with a single red rose. Her Harm looked gorgeous. Her Harm She pondered, she liked the sound of that. She smiled, "You're early."
"Wanted to be early for my lady." He grinned, the grin that always won her heart.
"So I'm your lady?" She smiled.
"Only if you want to be." He mentally crossed his fingers and begged the word yes.
"Hmmm, let me think."
"Please, Mac?"
"Mmm, depends on how well you cook dinner and how well you treat me tonight." She teased, but had already made up her mind. I mean come on, did she really have to think about that one.
He walked up to her and put his hands on her waist, "If you being mine depends on how tonight goes, then tonight will be the best night of your life. It will be perfect." He took her hand in his and kissed her palm then kissed her cheek.
"You missed." She teased.
"Ah, a gentleman never kisses a lady until later."
"Well what was with the kiss at work?"
"That kiss, my darling, was my Valentines Day gift to you."
"Why can't I have another Valentines Day gift right now then?"
He held her face in his hands, "Because if I kiss you now, Sarah, I won't stop. And I don't know about you, but I'm hungry. So why don't I cook us a nice dinner?" There was an uncertainty in her eyes so he decided to clear that up, "Trust me, you'll get plenty of kisses before I leave."
"And what if I want you to stay the night?"
"Do you want me to?"
She smiled, "Yeah, I think we can control ourselves.
"Okay, looks like I'm sleeping over then."
Later that night…
Mac had to be having the most amazing night. They had a delicious dinner, they talked for two hours about everything and anything, and now she was standing in his arms dancing to "Before Your Love" by Kelly Clarkson. Her head was on his shoulder and they were going in small circles.
I wonder how I ever make it through a day
How did I settle for the world in shades of gray
When you go in circles all the scenery looks the same
And you don't know why
And I looked into your eyes
Where the road stretched out in from of me
And I realized
I'd never live
Before your love
I'd never felt
Before your touch
And I'd never needed anyone
To make me feel alive
But then again
I wasn't really livin'
I'd never lived…
Before your loveI wanted more than just an ordinary life
All of my dreams seemed like castles in the sky
I stand before you and my heart is in your hands
And I don't know how
I'd survive without your kiss
Cuz you've given me
A reason to exist
I'd never live
Before your love
I'd never felt
Before your touch
And I'd never needed anyone
To make me feel alive
But then again
I wasn't really livin'
I'd never lived…before your love
I'd never lived…before your love
And I don't know why
Why the sun decides to shine
But you've breathed your love into me just in time
I'd never live
Before your love
I'd never felt
Before your touch
And I'd never needed anyone
To make me feel alive
But then again
I wasn't really livin'
I'd never lived
I'd never lived
Before!…
Your!…
Love!…
The song ended and Mac lifted her head to look at Harm. He looked into her eyes and their looks were intense. He leaned down to kiss her. She met him halfway. Their lips met and they stood still for a few minutes. Finally they stumbled their way to the couch. Mac laid on the couch and pulled Harm down on her.
"So does his mean you're mine?"
"Don't break my heart." She said, her voice full of love.
"I promise not to…ever!"
"Then what do you think the answer is?"
Harm smiled and covered her lips once again.
