'Forget I'm waiting in the rain
Baby I love you,
I love you anyway'
Harm stood outside of Mac's apartment building, waiting to be buzzed up. "C'mon Mac….it's freezing out here." He murmured, jamming the button calling up to her apartment once more.
He was supposed to go over to her apartment tonight for a romantic dinner, since they hadn't got to spend a lot of time together as of late. When he left the office, he peeked into her office and saw that she was still working on a file. He just figured that it was something she needed to get done before she left. 'Mac wouldn't have…forgotten me, would she?' He wondered to himself, his teeth chattering as he tried her apartment one more time.
He sat down on the curb, hoping that someone would come in or out and recognize him and let him in. He sighed heavily, setting the grocery bag next to him. Resisting the urge to pout, he cursed himself once more for forgetting the key to her place, and cursed Mac for not picking up any of her phones.
He dug out his cell phone from his pocket one more time, hoping to get a hold of Mac. He hit speed dial 1, and waited out the ringing. After the third ring, he heard her voice over the line. "Mackenzie."
"Mac! Where have you been?" He asked frantically, afraid that something had happened.
"Umm…at the office. Why?" Mac asked, driving up to her apartment building. "Hey Harm, why are you sitting outside my….Oh no." She said, realization dawning on her. She parked her car quickly and ran up to Harm. She wrapped her arms tightly around his waist, lightly kissing his neck in apology. "I'm sorry, I forgot about our dinner!"
Harm laughed and wrapped his arms around her comfortingly. "It's okay Mac, at least you're here now." He shivered and sneezed. He smiled sheepishly at Mac as he took out his handkerchief and blew his nose. She turned to the door to her building and starting fumbling around for the keys.
"Oh God Harm, I feel so horrible!" Mac said, finally unlocking the door. "How long have you been standing there?" Harm shrugged and was about to answer before another sneeze overtook him. "Long enough to catch a cold…" She murmured to herself, as they walked up the stairs.
They came to her apartment fairly quickly, and she quickly unlocked the door. "Here, you go change, I'll start dinner." She said, taking the grocery bag out of his hands. "It's the least I can do." She lightly kissed him, and all but pushed him into her bedroom. "Now go! You know where I keep your stuff!" She threw over her shoulder.
A few minutes later Harm walked out of the bedroom, clad in some jeans and an Academy sweatshirt. He wrapped his arms around Mac from behind, and she sighed as she leaned back against him. "Honey, I am so sorry…" She turned around so that she was facing him and put on her most innocent look. "Anyway that I can make it up to you?"
Harm just laughed and lightly squeezed her waist. "I can think of a few, but I'd hate to get you sick Mac." She laughed, and nuzzled his neck lovingly.
"I think I'll risk it."
