A/N Thank you again for your reviews. Here's some more Mac/Stella fluff as I promised. I know I said there would be smut in this chap, it'll be in the next chap, which will be up very soon. I hope the characters are not too OC.
Disclaimer I don't own them, if I did I would be paying people to write this for me but I'm not.
She couldn't decide what dress to wear. It was currently a tie between a scarlet red dress with a plunging neckline or a backless black dress. The backlesss option would probrably be better, he always seemed to have a thing for the small of her back. But she always wore black at work and she really wanted to blow him away with something different. Alright red it is. She looked in the mirror and began fixing her make-up. Maybe I should do something with my hair...What am I thinking? We work together, he's seen me looking a lot more worse for wear. But, still I'm going on a date and I want to impress him. But then...I don't want to seem like I'm trying too hard...Ughh! this is driving me insane. I don't even know if this is a real date! Maybe I should of asked for clarification... She sighed, she couldn't make her mind up about anything. She glanced at the clock for the umpteenth time that night. It was almost time to leave. Here we go...
-----------------------------------------------
The weather was dismal. The wind sharp and bitter. Every now and then a flash of rain and hail pelted down on unsuspecting victims. Stella was one such victm. She groaned, reminding herself of how much she despised the cold. Always rearing it's head at the worst possible time. Now the average person would be horrified to have such a thing happen on the night they were having dinner with their dream guy, but Stella remained calm, drying herself off as best she could once inside. After what they've been through together, this couldn't possibly compare. Arriving at his apartment door, she knocked a few times. The door opened almost immediately.
"Stella, come in." Mac greeted her with a smile. His eyes travelled her figure up and down. "You look fantastic. I didn't expect you to dress up" Stella smiled cautiously.
"Well, I don't get to dress up that often so might as well..." Stella was interrupted by a loud, peircing beeping noise.
"What is that?" she asked. The expression on Mac's face turned to shock-horror.
"Smoke alarm" he said while rushing to the kitchen, Stella not far behind.
Whatever was cooking on the stove top was now engulfed in flames. Thinking quickly, Mac turned off the heat and quickly put the lid on the pan. With the fire died out he turned to Stella, looking embarrassed. This was definetely not helped by the fact Stella was giggling hysterically. His face turned grave.
"You know, you can really lower a guy's self-esteem." he said in mock-hurt voice.
"Aww. I'm sorry Mac. Really, you should be a fireman. You can put out my fire any day." she teased. Mac, exasperated, smiled ever so slightly, before turning his attention back onto dinner.
"So.." he began " you wanna order some pizza?"
"I thought we were going to have 'real' dinner tonight." she joked.
"You want that?" he nodded towards whatever it was that had gone up in smoke. Stella picked up the phone.
"Next time I cook."
-----------------------------------------------
Mac paid for the pizza as Stella went over his DVD collection. She smiled as she saw something she liked.
"Can we watch this?" she asked.
"Stella, I don't know..."
"Mac, you should know by now I was only ask to be polite." He chuckled slightly, he didn't really have any objections to it, but she was so cute when she was trying to get her way.
"Alright, 'My Big Fat Greek Wedding' it is." Stella set up the movie while Mac disappeared into the kitchen. Stella had just gotten herself comfortable on the couch when Mac handed her a glass.
"Red wine? We're eating pizza, Mac."
"And you're dressed up like you're going to a fancy restuarant. What's your point?" he countered. Stella set the glass on the table and grabbed a slice of pizza.
"Hope you like Greek olives." she said while taking a bite.
"Greeks might be lambs in the kitchen but we're tigers in the bedroom."
Mac turned to Stella.
"Is that really true?" he asked. By now they had finished off the pizza and were sipping on their wine.
"I dunno, you'll have to ask my ex-boyfriends. Or your could find out yourself." she giggled a bit. Mac looked at her.
"Are you drunk already?"
"I'm not drunk, I've only had one glass. I'm just happy" Mac grinned so slighty it could hardly be seen. Stella's face turned serious.
"What about you, Mac? Are you happy?" Mac thought seriously about it for a moment.
"Yes." he paused "yes I'm very happy." Stella smiled and raised her glass.
"Cheers, to being happy." Mac clanked his glass with Stella's.
"Cheers." he smiled. Hazel eyes stared into blue. Caught in the moment, she leaned in for a kiss...
