Chapter 4: The Start of Something New
Stella stretches as she starts to wake, feeling well rested. She carefully opens her eyes and realizes she's not in her own bed. An arm tightens around her waist and she remembers the night before. A smile crosses her face remembering her request for him to sleep with her. She was actually surprised that he had agreed.
Slowly she turned over to face Mac. She was slightly surprised to see him awake. But she also knew that he didn't sleep much, so his being awake wasn't that much of a surprise. She noticed that he looked well rested and generally looking well. It had been quite some time since she's seen that. They smiled at each other. Mac asked, "So, hoe did you sleep?"
Stella stretched and replied, "Wonderfully, you?"
Mac smiled and said, "Best sleep in years." Stella could tell that he really meant it too. Mac pulled Stella closer to him. He gently kissed her temple and said, "I could get used to this." Stella gave him a questioning look. He clarified, "I could get used to waking up with my arms around a beautiful woman."
Stella turned slightly pink but still asked, "What about work?"
Mac thought then replied, "We take it slow, see if we can handle a relationship and work. We'll keep it quiet for now, and then if it doesn't work out we'll be the only ones who know."
Stella closed the small distance between them and kissed him fully on the lips. They parted, Mac looking awestruck and Stella looking pleased. Mac finally regains his composure gets a devilish look in his eyes. Stella becomes slightly worried thinking, 'What on earth is going through his mind." She soon found out. Mac rolled Stella so that she was on her back and he was over her. He leaned down and started kissing her. She responded almost immediately. The kiss slowly deepened, they continued for quite some time, until they finally had to breathe.
A few short kisses were exchanged before Mac asked, "Are you hungry?"
Stella replied, "I'm famished."
Mac said, "Well then, lets get some food." They slowly headed for the kitchen.
They were both looking forward to trying out this new relationship. Neither one was ready to admit they loved the other. Although in their hearts they knew they did. It wouldn't take too long for them to express it. Which also meant it wouldn't be too long before the whole lab knew. But right now, they could care less. They are happy just being with each other.
FINIS.
