"Feels like it went ok." Dick stated. Mac nodded. "I think so. You're great when you want to, Dick. I can't believe you fought so hard to be an asshole for so long." he chuckled, wrapping an arm around her waist. "Well, I thought it was cool. I was stupid."
She leaned against him and smiled. She was happy Veronica had agreed to go out with them. She hoped tonight would bring back a smile on her face, even for a few hours. When they will be done with her, they might cheer up Logan, if they could get of hold of him someday.
Dick let his finger toy with Mac's hair. Last time Logan had been that down, he'd chained him with a girl, a little girl. This kid had done magic to him, but he couldn't get her back this time. One, he didn't even want to remember this stupid trip to Vegas, and his freaking wedding. And two, well... Logan had threatened to kill himself next time Dick had him as a baby sitter.
He grinned devilishly, fishing a cd off his pocket. "As soon as Logan gets back,.. I've got my plan." Mac looked up and frowned. "Is that... Veronica's cd ?" Dick smiled innocently. "You stole it from her !!" He chuckled. "Borrowed. She won't listen to that song one more time." Mac grinned.
"How did you do it ? I didn't see you. Even Veronica didn't !!" No doubt PI girl was good with watching, and no doubt she would have said something if she had seen Dick. She slapped his arm to prompt him to answer. He just scooped her up in his arms, laughing.
"Well, cutie, you're dating a ex bad boy you know..." He kissed her. "Oh, yeah... And there's that guy... Your buddy, on campus, Weevil, that you introduced to me properly the other day... We might have talked business together." Mac's eyes widened.
"I can't believe you two get along now." Dick faked being angry. "That pinhead kicked my ass at poker. Lost three hundred bucks." Mac laughed. "You guys are crazy playing for real money !" Dick put her down and she shook her head, walking further. "I can't believe that... I mean, when Veronica and I play with Parker, we use fake money. It's just a game."
Dick titled his head on the side, a doubt dawning on him. "Does it... bother you ? That I play with really money ?" She shrugged. "No... I mean, yes, but only for you. When you lose. Three hundred buck is pretty big for me." His wealthy status wasn't an issue between them, but that amount of money was still huge for her.
Dick stopped and held her shoulders. "I don't want this to be a problem for you. It can change if you want." She bit her lip, refraining the urge to smile. This was a serious conversation, but he was just so cute trying to win her every time a little more. She took his hands, freed of the cd, and pulled him closer, looking him in the eye. "You do what you want, Dick." she said, making she it took it the right way. "I don't want you to change for me, if it's not ok with you." She pecked his lips. "Turning into another to please someone is a mistake." Dick smiled and kissed her back.
She slid her arms around his waist, baffled to see how he could get her so hot anytime. With him she'd turned into a new Mac. A Mac that could be caught making out with her boyfriend almost in every place they were in when heat hit. Such as, right now, the Grand's corridor. His breath in her neck, between the soft kisses her placed on her skin, was rendering her crazy.
She whispered in his hair. "I want you to be yourself with me, it's fine, I just love the way you are." Which was totally true. She loved the feelings he gave her. She loved his spontaneous moves toward her, like when he jumped her in the middle of a video game and tickled her until she was crying, then kiss her to make sure she would really die suffocating. She loved the way he had to make her laugh and feel so strong things for him. She loved his eyes, which weren't mean anymore, she loved his hair, she loved his body, this amazing nest against which she would snuggle every time she wanted, and that it was never enough for him. She loved that he made her feel loved... though she really didn't care how she felt toward her, given that it was affection, she didn't wanna bother with details such as... how do you love the other, or to you only like him, but how ??? It was great, that was all.
Dick froze in her neck, pulling away, looking like he had been hit by a bullet. "You... love ?" Mac's inward rambling crumbled. Ok, she was in love with him. She knew it somehow. But slipping like that was big. Thing was, he didn't seem to mind. He was just baffled and watching her expectantly, trying to figure out if he had understood it right.
Her rosy cheeks, and her mouth dropped open clued him in. She bit her lip, unable to hide the shy smile forcing its way to her face. He was smiling, he was happy to hear that, so she didn't feel that bad. She met his eyes, smiling sheepishly. "Oops."
