AN: Here is Chapter Fourteen.. Only six chapters left... I think.

"Like I said. I should listen to you more often." Benjamin said leaning down, and within seconds the gap between Benjamin' and Mackenzie's lips disappeared. Mackenzie wrapped her arms around Benjamin's neck and deepened the kiss that she had been waiting so long for.

Mackenzie was the one who broke the kiss, she looked at Benjamin, but before she could say anything Benjamin said, "You have no clue how long I've been waiting to do that."

"What this?" Mackenzie questioned, pulling Benjamin into another kiss.

When they parted Benjamin smiled and said, "Yes that."

"You have no clue how long I've been waiting for that." Mackenzie smiled.

"Well at least I know we're on the same page."

Mackenzie nodded. "This reminds me of one of those sappy romance movies, I use to force you to watch."

"I kinda does, doesn't it?"Benjamin laughed.

"Yea." Mackenzie smiled. That was when the clouds that had been forming over Seattle opened up. "Great...it's raining." Mackenzie mumbled.

"When we were kids you used to love the rain." Benjamin mused, as Mackenzie pulled him into the apartment building her apartment was in.

"Key word there Benjamin is used to, " She replied curling up on the couch, when they got inside the apartment.

"Kenzie that was two words." Benjamin said as he sat beside her.

"Whatever." Mackenzie mumbled, resting her head on Benjamin's shoulder.

As Benjamin moved his legs onto the couch, Mackenzie lied down beside him with her back pushed against the back of the couch.

"This little mission of ours is going to be over soon." Benjamin mused.

"Yea. And hopefully we can make our future better."

"I'm sure we will."

"I hope you're right. 'Cause you're not always right."

"You're the one who's not always right."

"Are you sure about that Benji?"

"I'm very sure about that."

"You don't sound that sure." Mackenzie yawned.

"And you sound tired. Why don't you go get some sleep?"

"I'm not tired." Mackenzie replied yawning again.

"Yes you are. Go get some sleep."

"I don't want to get up. I'm comfortable."

"Fine." After a few minutes of silence Benjamin said, "Mackenzie."

"Mmm?" Was Mackenzie's reply.

"Where do I stand in your life now?"

"You're stuck on that question aren't you?" Mackenzie question, once again yawning.

"Just curious."

"Hmm... Where do you want to be in my life?"

"The point where we are together."

"Sounds really good to me." Mackenzie whispered, as she drifted off to sleep, curling up closer to Benjamin for warmth.

A smile came to Benjamin's face as he shifted slightly into a more comfortable position. He moved Mackenzie at the same time so that the two of them were lying some what comfortably. Benjamin then pulled the blanket draped over the back of the couch, over top of them, and soon he too was asleep.

A few hours later Mackenzie woke up trying to figure out where she was. Her back was pushed up against the back of the couch, her pillow was moving, and she felt an arm around her. Opening her eyes and lifting her heard slightly she saw Benjamin's face, that was when the nights events came back to her, and she couldn't help but smile.

Benjamin looked so peaceful and innocent when he was sleeping. Mackenzie put her head back down, closed her eyes, and listened to Benjamin's breathing, soon falling asleep again.

It was Benjamin who woke up an hour later. For the next hour he just laid there and watched Mackenzie sleep. When she began to stir he whispered, "Morning Sleeping Beauty."

"Sleeping Beauty?" Mackenzie questioned, her eyes still closed. "Since when have you called me Sleeping Beauty?"

"I thought it suited the moment." Benjamin laughed.

"What time is it?" Mackenzie questioned opening her eyes.

"I have no clue, to tell you the truth." Benjamin replied.

"Ok..." Mackenzie trailed off. "Wonder how the rest of the party went."

"Probably went real good. Everyone looked like they were having fun when we left. Wouldn't be surprised if it went all night."

"Knowing the people here, most likely."

Before either of them could say anything else there was a knock on the door. "Come in." Mackenzie said, not moving.

The door opened and Alec walked into the apartment. "Now isn't this a cute sight," he mused.

Mackenzie and Benjamin both sat up. "What can we do for you?" Benjamin questioned.

"Come to tell the two of you that our supplier called and asked if we could make the pick up sooner."

"How much sooner are we talking about here?" Mackenzie questioned looking up at Alec.

"Pick up's in two days." Alec responded.

"Oh lovely." Mackenzie sighted, "At least I won't have to worry about it much longer."

"Did he say why he wanted to make it sooner?" Was Benjamin's next question for Alec.

"He said it would be easier for him. Doesn't make much sense to me. But whatever moves his furniture."

Mackenzie nodded, "So how did the party go after we left?"

"Pretty good. Max and Logan took 'little' Benjamin home, awhile after you guys left, OC and Sketchy went with them. Around three the party was slowly dying down. Place was empty around five. What did the two of you end up doing after you left?" Alec asked looking from Mackenzie to Benjamin and back again.

"Came back here and ended up falling asleep on the couch." Mackenzie replied.

"I see." Alec laughed. "Oh, before I forget, Max asked to me ask the two of you to head to the Mess Hall and help clean up."

"Do I have to?" Mackenzie whined.

"Yes you do. It was your idea to have the party after all." Alec replied.

"Fine." Mackenzie sighed. "We'll be there in a half hour."

"If you don't show up. I'll come looking for you, because there is no way I'm going to clean that place up by myself." Alec threatened.

"Why, no one else willing to help?" Benjamin laughed.

"Exactly." Alec said as he headed for the door. "See the two of you in a half hour."

When the door closed behind Alec, Mackenzie stood up and stretched, "I'm going to have a quick shower."

"You do that."

"You're going to have to have one after me." Mackenzie stated walking towards the bathroom.

"Why?"

"Because if you don't you'll start to smell." Mackenzie laughed walking into the bathroom, she loved bugging Benjamin.

She closed the door at the same time Benjamin threw a pillow at her. Mackenzie laughed at the thump she heard when the pillow hit the door, and Benjamin yell, "You're mean Mackenzie!"

"So I've been told." Mackenzie replied through the door.

Thirty minutes later Mackenzie and Benjamin were both showered, changed, and on their way to the Mess Hall. "Good the two of you made it." Alec smiled as they walked in.

"So what do you want us to do?" Mackenzie questioned glancing around.

"Anything to help get this place cleaned up, before Max shows up." Alec replied

"Ok." Mackenzie sighed, as Benjamin and herself went to work cleaning the Mess Hall.

A little over an hour later it was back to the way it had been before the party. "We did a pretty good job." Mackenzie mused looking around from where she sat.

"Yes we did." Benjamin agreed. "Even though I did most of the work."

"Yea right, Benji." Mackenzie replied.

"Looks good." Max said as she walked in. "Let me guess Alec sat around and watched you guys do the work?"

"No actually." Benjamin replied. "It was Mackenzie who sat around and watched Alec and myself do the work."

"Really?" Max questioned looking at Mackenzie.

"What can I say? I felt like being lazy. But I did clean up a bit." Mackenzie defended herself.

"Sure you did." Benjamin said with a grin on his face.

"Oh, shut up." Mackenzie mumbled hitting Benjamin in the arm. "You know I did."

"Uh huh." Benjamin laughed walking away.

"Where are you going?" Mackenzie called after him.

"For a walk." Benjamin threw over his shoulder in response.

"And you don't bother asking me to come with you?" Mackenzie questioned standing up.

Benjamin stopped at the door of the Mess Hall. "I'm sorry. Did you want to come for a walk with me?"

"I don't know." Mackenzie replied. "I could, but you took awhile to ask me."

"Mackenzie just come with me. You know you want to."

With a sigh Mackenzie said, "I'm coming. Later Max."

"Stay out of trouble." Max said in reply. Max couldn't help but laugh as the two disappeared out the door, their antics were childish at times, but then there were the times they seemed to know so much more then her. That was most likely because they came from the future, which Max found hard to believe at times.

"I know a secret." She heard Alec say from behind her.

"Oh? And what is that?" Max asked turning around to look at him, her arms crossed.

"They're together now."

"How would you know that Alec?"

"Caught them lying on the couch together this morning, they looked quite cozy. And they kept sneaking kisses while we were cleaning up, when they thought I wasn't looking."

"Really?"

"Yea."

"Guess we don't need to finish with our plans to get them together."

"Guess not."

"Can you tell Dan and Emma the place is clean and all theirs. I got to head home, and see how everyone is doing."

"Sure. By everyone do you mean Logan, OC, Sketchy, and 'little' Benjamin?"

"Yea." Max replied.

"Tell OC and Sketch I'll catch them later." With those final words Alec disappeared out the door Mackenzie and Benjamin had disappeared out of moments ago. Max glanced around one last time before, she too, left.

"I think my dad's caught onto us." Mackenzie said breaking the silence that had fallen over her and Benjamin.

"Probably." Benjamin replied.

"Why are you so quiet all of the sudden?" Mackenzie questioned, Benjamin shrugged in response. "You're stressing over the supply run being early." Mackenzie mused, looking over at him.

"How do you know that?" Benjamin questioned.

"Whenever you're stressed or trying to figure out how to ask or say something you're quiet. Because of last night I don't think you're trying to figure out how to ask or say something. So putting two and two together I figure you're stressed out about the supply run being early. Which I totally understand." Mackenzie rambled

"You ramble." Benjamin simply stated.

"What?" Mackenzie questioned looking over at him.

"When you're stressed, anxious, or nervous, you either ramble or you're really quiet."

"Huh. I do don't I?"

"You tend to, yea."

The conversation soon went silent again, after a few minutes Mackenzie said, "We should go out and party in Seattle for the night."

"Why?"

"Because we can't do it tomorrow night, that's the night before the supply run, and we're both going to need our beauty sleep."

Benjamin laughed, "Aren't you partied out yet?"

"No." Mackenzie smiled.

"Where do you suggest we go party?" Benjamin questioned walking into Mackenzie's apartment building.

"How about Crash." Mackenzie suggest following Benjamin to her apartment.

"Why Crash?"

"I want to see what it was like before we started going there."

"Ok..." Benjamin trailed off, collapsing onto the couch.

Mackenzie sat on top of him and said, "So you coming with me? Or am I going alone?"

"What if I said I would go with you?" Benjamin questioned tracing circles on Mackenzie's back.

"I'd say we'd be having a hell of a good time."

"And if I said you would be going alone?"

Mackenzie turned a bit to look at Benjamin, and with a small smile she said, "I'd say I'll be finding myself a hottie at Crash to dance the night away with."

"I think I'll go with you," Benjamin said, as he stopped tracing circles on her back.

"I though that would be what you'd say." Mackenzie smiled, leaned over and gave Benjamin a kiss.

"You know me to well."

"I did grow up with you."

"True. So when do you want to go to Crash?"

"I dunno. A couple hours maybe."

"Sounds good." Benjamin sighed. "Wait..."

"What?"

"Are you going to make me take another shower?"

"No. You took one this morning, so I think you're good to go for the night."

"Ok. Good to know."

"But just to let you know, you'll be taking a shower in the morning." Mackenzie laughed.

"What are you doing? Benjamin questioned Mackenzie, as he walked out of the bathroom.

"I'm writing a note." Mackenzie replied, when Benjamin sat down beside her.

"Why, if you don't mind me asking, are you doing that?"

"What if your parents, or my dad shows up here looking for us? Need to leave something behind to let them know where we are."

"Good point."

Mackenzie looked at Benjamin, "You changed your clothes."

"That I did."

"Why?"

"Thought you might like it if I was extra clean when we went to Crash."

"How thoughtful." Mackenzie laughed, "But cleanliness doesn't matter to me, Benji."

"But for the past week you've kept making me have showers, and change."

"That's because it has been way to amusing bugging you with it. Every time I've told you to take a shower you've complained and grumbled. It was just too amusing for me. Just remember cleanliness only becomes a problem when you don't shower or change for more than two days."

"Well, aren't you a nice person." Benjamin mumbled, ignoring Mackenzie's last comment.

"Of course I am." Mackenzie said standing up. "So lets get going."

"But I just got comfortable." Benjamin complained.

"Suck it up buttercup." Mackenzie replied.

"What if I said I don't want to 'suck it up'?"

"I'd say too bad for you, babe you're going to have to."

"Why does that sound familiar to me?"

"I think I've said it to you before." Mackenzie said, taking a hold of Benjamin's hands to try and get him up. "Come on. Lets go."

"Fine." Benjamin grumbled standing up.

The two of them made their way from the apartment to Crash, barley talking, just enjoying each others company, and the world around them. When they entered Crash they were met by blaring music and the strong smell of alcohol.

"It looks the same." Mackenzie stated, as they made their way through the crowd to the bar.

"Not entirely. I think they got new chairs when we started to come here." Benjamin mused, following her.

Mackenzie laughed, and paid for a pitcher of beer. The two then headed to an empty table and sat down, listening to the music.
