"Melanie?. Are you all right?" Duncan asked me as I watched Richie run down the stairs from Duncan's apartment and onto his motorcycle. "Melanie!"
"Huh. Yeah I'm fine" I answered as I followed Mac into his office. "So, you have a nice place too, a fun place to work-out in". I said quickly trying to make conversation.
"Hun, something's wrong and your not telling me about it" Duncan said looking me in the eyes making me feel insecure. "You know you can tell me anything you want. You can always talk to me"
"I was just thinking about last night" I lied quickly. "How it felt so right and how safe I feel when I'm around you".
"Mel, that's not what you were thinking. I know, you were thinking about Richie weren't you?" He asked, as I backed up from him feeling like I was going to be punished for what I was about say.
"Yes I was, but not in that kind of way" I said my voice shaking. "It's just that when I shook his hand it was so cold, like he was dead".
"I understand, you were a little frightened by the coldness of Richie's hand" he said, coming closer to me as he talked, "And you thought, I wonder why his hand was so cold when I shook It, right?"
"Yeah something like that" I said as Duncan cornered me in his office. I can admit I was afraid of what he was going to do because of that evil look he gets in his eyes but all he did was kiss me. At least I was safe, for then anyway.
Hours passed MacLeod and I talking and laughing, kissing and hugging. It was getting late and neither one seemed to care at all, we were having way to much fun to think of anything else except each other and the stories we were telling.
After a while, Duncan and I decided to watch a movie because we were getting bored of telling stories. So he said. I thought it was because we had nothing really to say anymore, for once I was all talked out.
I fell asleep on his couch. I woke up the next morning in his room, on his bed, with him sleeping beside me. It was finally Saturday, meaning neither of us had to work, we got to spend the whole day together. Since Mac was still sleeping I decided to sleep in as well, I put my arm around him and cuddled up close, really close. Well I though he was asleep but when I put my arm around him he held my hand and kissed it and said the five words that made me fall for him all over again.. "I love you Melanie Chambers".
"I love you too Duncan MacLeod" I said kissing him and cuddling even closer to him than I already was. It felt so special to be loved by him, I mean I have been in love before but not like this. This was really different I never loved anyone as much as I loved Duncan.
