A/N: Well, things get interesting. Harm & Mac sort of make-up, but not
fully. Thanks for the reviews people!!!!
Chapter 16
(Mac's POV)
When I nearly married Brumby? I thought he didn't have a problem with that. What does he mean? Damn my stupid brain! This is what comes from getting drunk. I rub my temples trying to get rid of my terrible headache. "What do you mean 'When you nearly married Brumby'? I thought you said we were finished with that?" I ask, hope rising in me again, perhaps he didn't mean it.
"I mean I didn't want you to marry Brumby." He says softly.
"Why not?"
"He's just not the right man for you." I knew that.
"So, pray tell, what is the right man?"
"One who treats you like the princess, loves you through thick and thin, knows your faults, but loves you anyway, and you love him, doesn't try to change you to fit his mold, apologizes when he hurts you, and can accept your apologies without feeling as if he must take revenge on you, is loyal to the end. I could go on and on Mac, but I think you get the picture."
"The man you describe Harm is perfect. I don't believe there is such a person."
"Probably not. But, I don't think you should marry someone who doesn't match up to at least some of these qualities."
"You know Harm-I wish we could've grown up together. You could have saved me from making a lot of mistakes."
"Maybe Mac, it depends on whether or not you want to be prevented."
"Well, none of the guys I've dated or married matched up to this criteria."
"Not even Brumby?" he asked sarcastically.
I laugh bitterly, "No! Definitely not!"
He whirled around, his eyes burning with a hatred I don't think I've ever seen before.
"What did that Bastard do to you?" he demanded.
"When he took me to his firm, he was showing me off like some trophy, he nearly hit me when I cornered him on it. Then he went and gave a prominent magazine a humiliating picture of me, and called me his fiancée when we weren't even engaged yet. The list goes on Harm."
The car screeched to a halt in a side-lane. He turned around again, "I'm sorry you had to go through with that Mac, and I swear if that man sets foot in your life again that day will be his LAST!!!!"
I laughed inside Harm was always my knight in shining armor. The first to come to my aid, sometimes even when I didn't need it. "Harm, what did you think-no what did you mean that night in Sydney Harbor?"
He was quiet for awhile, "I was thinking a good many things that night Mac- WATCH OUT!!!" he shouted. I ducked just in time to miss an incoming bullet.
A/N: Teehee! Don't you just love cliffhangers????
