There stood a man with the deepest blue eyes you've ever seen. With his sandy blond hair and perfect nose, you would think you were at a beach. He has pearly white teeth and a very kissable mouth. There stood my best friend from college.

"Marco Armando Christor!" I had the pleasure of seeing him flinch.

"Gee Stephie, it's nice to see you too. Did you have to say my full name? You sound like my mother." He mumbled.

"Well if you didn't scare me to death maybe I would be happier to see you." Despite what I said a small smile came to my face.

"Come Stephie," he started in a singsong voice. "You know you want to give me a hug and kiss." He finished with a little grin. I couldn't help it, I laughed. I opened my arms and gave him a hug and kiss.

"So Mac, long time no see." I stated causally as I walked into my bathroom.

"Yeah, funny thing, I thought you would be married and have kids by now." He said easily. I just gave him a look.

"Not saying there's anything wrong with a woman being single at 30 something… I mean, uh." He scratched his head sheepishly as I glared at him.

"Do you want to stop or dig your hole deeper?" I asked him sweetly.

"I think I'll stop if that's okay with you…" I just nodded my head yes.

"So, why are you here? I have a hang over from celebrating Lula's passing grade in one of her courses and on top of that I have no Mc Donald's to help. I haven't heard from you in, I don't know how long, then all of the sudden you show up in my apartment. Not that I don't care about you or anything, but what do you want?" I said while putting my hands on my hips.

"Nothing really, I just wanted to see you. Is there anything wrong with that?" he asked giving me his best innocent look.

"Oh if that's all you wanted then I'm sure mom will be thrilled to know your coming to dinner tonight." I saw him pale at the mention of dinner with my family. I put on an evil smile.

"Let me just call mom right back." I reached for the phone on the bathroom counter, when his hand enclosed mine.

"Please, Stephanie. Please whatever you do, don't tell anyone I'm here." All joking was put aside. I could tell he was serious.

"Mac, you have to tell me what's going on." I locked my eyes with his. I could see a struggle going on in his eyes. I knew he was going to tell me by the sigh that came from his lips.

"Okay, but promise me you wont let anyone know I'm here and promise me you wont worry." I knew he said this still giving me a way to back out.

"I promise." I said as clearly as I could.

"Lets talk about this in the living room and not the bathroom, okay?" I glanced around forgetting about my shower.

"Fine." I lead the way to the couch and sat down. He joined me by plopping down beside me. I resisted the urge to push back a lock of hair that fell over his forehead. I turned my body towards him and tucked my feet under me.

"Okay, spill." He took a deep breath and started the tail that would eventually include me.

A/N: Okay, first Mac is his nickname (short for his full name) and I want to thank everyone who reviewed. I hope that this story will have many readers. The chapters will be coming slowly because of school. Since the last day of school is around June 1st I will be posting short chapters. After school is out the chapters will be coming along longer and faster! Thanks for reading! Oh, and please review!
