Stuck With You

A/N: Sorry I haven't been updating regularly, I've had this huge research paper that's worth my whole language arts grade, and I've been having a battle with writers block. Oh and by the way, I think Mac sounds a little OOC in this chapter. Review!


Mac looked at her face, searching for any trace of humor or sarcasm. He didn't want to go through with her demands and be face to face with utter embarrassment if she didn't mean it.

The corners of her mouth quirked upward in a slight smile, sensing his discomfort. Small beads of sweat began to form on his hairline, making him look even sexier to her.

"I, um, I don't know, um, what you mean." Mac offered, stuttering like a nervous school boy talking to his crush.

"Mac, it was just a silly dare. Don't worry about it. You don't have to do it if you don't want to." Declared Stella, disappointment creeping into her voice.

The lump in Mac's throat decreased in size slightly with her statement, making it easier to talk. Did she really think it was a silly dare? Having the sudden awkwardness, the elevator became extremely silent.

"Stel," He started after a couple of minutes.

"Forget I said anything." Stella cut off, beginning to feel like she'd made a big mistake.

As if the heavens above could sense her distress, the lights in the elevator flickered on and it started moving again. Mac raised himself off of the floor and moved to help his friend. Stella, ignoring his hovering hand, helped herself up and moved to the doors, putting as much space as possible between them.

"Stella…"

"Mac, if this is going to make things awkward between us, then I'm sorry." She interrupted again as she turned her back to him.

"Stella, listen to me," Mac said, raising his voice.

He gently gripped her arm and spun her around, forcing her to face him. Mac placed on arm around her waist and the other hand cupping her cheek, pulling her in closer as he captured her lips with his own.

Stella wrapped her arms around his neck in reaction, pulling him as close to her as possible as Mac's tongue gently traced the bottom of her lip, begging for entrance. Complying, she deepened the kiss as he pushed her against the back of the elevator.

They were so focused on their heated moment that they didn't hear the elevator ding or the doors open, revealing a shocked co-worker. Danny Messer stood stunned, watching his boss and friend make-out in the building elevator.

"I'll just, um, I'll uh just take the uh stairs…" He stuttered as he practically ran away.

"Want to take this somewhere more private?" Mac asked seductively.

"Your place or mine?"
