Mac's office

JAG HQ

Harm was on his way to Mac's office when he heard her yelling. He looked in and she was yelling at the person on the other end of the phone.

"Six hundred dollars! For what?… A new what? You can't be serious! Fine! When will it be ready… That long? Why?… All right! I'll pick it up next Tuesday!" With that, Mac slammed down the phone, closed her eyes, and leaned back in her chair. She nearly fell of her chair when Harm asked her a question.

"Tough day Marine?"

"Hmm. How did you guess?!" Her words dripping with sarcasm.

"Sorry." He said kind of sad.

"Look Harm. I'm having a really bad day. I lost in court to Sturgis. I was rear-ended on the way back from lunch, then the jerk took off! And now the workshop wants six hundred dollars to repair my car! So, now is there anything I can help you with?"

"I was wondering if you would like to have dinner with me and maybe a movie afterwards."

Okay flyboy. But on one condition! We get to watch 'A Few Good Men'! Sound good?"

"That would be great! How about 1900?"

"Okay. The highlight of my day!"

"Glad I could help! Do you need a ride home Mac?"

"Well if you don't mind."

"Not at all. I would be happy to. Just come and get me when you are ready."

Okay. Thanks Harm."

1637 Zulu

Outside Mac's apartment

"Thank you for the ride Harm."

"No problem. Do you want me to come and pick you up?"

"No. That's okay. I'll just get a cab. What time do you want me to come over to your apartment?"

"How about in an hour and a half?"

"Sounds good. Bye flyboy."

"Bye Ninjagirl."

Mac watched Harm leave the parking lot. She then made her way up the stairs to her apartment and put her things down. She went directly into her bathroom to take a long bath. She turned on the radio and heard another familiar song.

*~ Not a day goes by

That I don't think of you

After all this time

You're still with me it's true

Somehow you remain

Locked so deep inside

Baby, Baby, oh Baby

Not a day goes by ~*

~ Meanwhile~

Harm got home and got to work preparing dinner. He turned on the stereo and put in a cd. He changed it to number10.

The song that played was one that reminded him of his way he could tell Mac he loved her.

*~ Tell her that you love her

Tell her that you need her

Tell her that you want her to stay

Reassure her with a kiss

She may never know

Unless you show her what your feeling

Tell her your believing

Even though it's hard to say

Cause she needs to know that you're thinking of her

So open up and tell her that you love her ~*

Right then and there, Harm decided he was going to tell Mac everything. How much he loved her and how much he cared for her.

1720 Zulu

Mac's apartment

Mac quickly got out of her bathtub, dried herself off, and put on the robe. She went to her closet in her bedroom and pick out a burgundy sweater, a black skirt that went down a little past her knees paired with black stilettos. Mac decided this would be the night she told Harm how she really felt about him.

1800 Zulu

Harm's Apartment

Mac knocked on Harm's door promptly at 1800.

"Coming." She could hear a voice calling from inside.

Harm opened the door for Mac to come in.

"Wow, you clean up really good sailor!" Mac said. Harm was wearing a navy colored button down shirt and black dress pants.

"Well, I try. I was just about to tell you the same thing!" He said.

"Ha ha!" Mac said sarcastically.

"Right this way. I have dinner already served." Harm guided her to the dining room where he had everything set out perfectly. He pulled out her chair for her and she sat down.

"What's the occasion?" Mac asked.

"Just wanted to cheer someone special up." Harm said and flashed his grin that would make any woman weak in the knees. Mac smiled back at him.

During dinner, they talked about everything, from the weather, to their jobs and their lives. Mac and Harm were just enjoying  each other's company, neither knowing what the other had planned. After they had finished their dinner, they went into the living room and Mac sat down on the couch while Harm popped the movie in the VCR. He then retreated to the couch where he sat next to Mac and they cuddled up to each other. For about two hours they were peaceful in one another's arms. After the movie ended, Harm turned off the television and they looked at each other.

"I need to tel you something." They both said at the same time. They laughed.

"You first." Mac said

"Okay. Here goes. Sarah, I love you. I love you with all of my heart. I never knew how to tell you until I heard this song." Harm got up and turned on the stereo. Soft music filled the air. He offered Mac his hand and pulled her up to her feet. He started to dance with her. As soon as the words started to play, Harm sang to her.

 *~ Every time our eyes meet
This feeling inside me
Is almost more than I can take
Baby when you touch me
I can feel how much you love me
And it just blows me away
I've never been this close to anyone or anything
I can hear your thoughts
I can see your dreams

I don't know how you what you do
I'm so in love with you, it just keeps getting better
I wanna spend the rest of my life with you by my side
Forever and ever
Every little thing that you do
Baby I'm amazed by you

The smell of your skin
The taste of your kiss
The way you whisper in the dark
Your hair all around me, baby you surround me
You touch everyplace in my heart
Oh, it feels the first time every time
I wanna spent the whole night in your eyes

I don't know how you what you do
I'm so in love with you, it just keeps getting better
I wanna spend the rest of my life with you by my side
Forever and ever
Every little thing that you do
Baby I'm amazed by you

Every little thing that you do
I'm so in love with you
It just keeps getting better
I wanna spend the rest of my life with you by my side
Forever and ever
Every little thing that you do
Oh, every little thing that you do
Baby I'm amazed by you ~*

He pulled away from Mac and saw that she had been crying. He dried her tears and said, "That is exactly how I feel about you. I want to spend the rest of my life with you. Every morning I want to wake up next to you and feel you in my arms."

Mac looked up at Harm. Their faces only inches apart now. Harm leaned in and kissed her. They came apart.

"That is everything I wanted to tell you tonight. How much I love you. But you beat me to it!" Mac said.

"Hey you insisted that I go first!" Harm said.

"Come on. I think I can show you!" She led him off in the direction of his bedroom.

"Where are we going?"

"What does it look like we're going Harm! You said you wanted to feel me in your arms every morning. So why not start now? I want to show you how much I love you."

He picked her up and carried her the rest of the way. He then stopped and sat her on his bed and kissed her. She ran her hands up and down his body and then ran them through his hair like she had always wanted to. She took his shirt and pulled it off and ran her fingers on his chest. He took her sweater and skirt off then she took of his pants. Soon they were making love all night long until they drifted off to sleep in each other's arms.
