I don't own wherever the song in this comes from. Just being safe. I don't want the police to catch me. Again. Darn, I can hear the sirens already.
Stella wasn't in such a bad mood for the rest of the day, and she started to feel bad about what she said to Mac. Mac seemed to be avoiding her, and she didn't blame him. She wanted to find him and tell him she was so sorry and that she really didn't care how he showed that he cared about her. Only she couldn't find him. He just didn't want to be found. Everyone in the crime lab was staring at her accusingly whenever she spoke to them too. It was unnerving, and Stella wondered if Mac had asked everyone to do that so she would feel guilty. He didn't need to, she felt guilty enough already. Besides, that wasn't the sort of thing Mac would do. He wasn't that immature. Still, the story had gone round the crime lab like wildfire. It was amazing that such boring people actually found the time to pass on a story so quickly like that. This was the other reason why she seriously regretted yelling at Mac. It had been blown completely out of proportion, so now what had happened was that she had shoved Mac into the wall, and things had got so passionate that they did it right there against the wall of the Calm-down Room. And then they broke up for no reason whatsoever. She first heard this story from a very timid Sheldon and Flack, who approached her very cautiously.
"Hey Stella?" she whizzed around. Sheldon and Flack took a step backwards.
"Um…" Sheldon nudged Flack. Flack nudged him back and they started a whispered argument until Sheldon pushed Flack forwards.
"Er..." Flack looked round at Sheldon for support. "Er…Now don't get mad Stella, but there's this rumour that you and Mac did it against the wall of the Cooling-down Room." Stella stared at him.
"WHAT THE HELL? WE HAD AN ARGUMENT, NOT SEX!" Flack nodded nervously.
"We didn't think you guys would have done. 'Sides, no one actually saw that." Sheldon nodded fervently. Stella sighed and rubbed her forehead.
"Do you know where Mac is now?" they shook their heads. She walked off.
"Um…you didn't slam Mac into the wall and crack his head open so that he's now dying in hospital did you?" Stella spun round. Flack and Sheldon backed away.
"Just asking."
"Yeah, it's only a rumour."
"We were only wondering." When they were a safe distance away they turned tail and ran.
Stella and Lindsay walked back to the crime lab. Lindsay had had her head snapped off several times by Stella, for asking the wrong sorts of questions, or making the wrong sorts of jokes, but the coroner had been at the crime scene, so he stitched her head back on each time. She owed that coroner a lot. They rounded the corner and were greeted by music. They looked up to the doors of the crime lab. Mac was standing there with a microphone. He started singing and his voice was actually pretty good.
"Are you too good to be true?
Can't take my eyes offa you.
I wanna hold you so much.
Just wanna feel your warm touch.
I'm sorry I made you mad,
I'm in love with you so bad,
Can't take my eyes offa you.
Baa-da. Baa-da. Baa-de-da-da-de-baa-da-ba-da-baa-de-da-da-de…" etc. (watch Ten Things I Hate About You or listen to the original song if you don't know what I'm going on about.)
"I love you Stella!
And if it's quite alright,
I need you Stella,
To work the shift at night,
I love you Stella!
Trust in me when I say!
My pretty Stella!
Don't be mad this way.
My pretty Stella,
Now that you're here stay,
I really care Stella,
Of course I care Stellaaaaaaaaaa!" the music continued but Mac walked down the steps to Stella, who was standing with her mouth wide open and tears running down her face. He twiddled the microphone nervously.
"I'm sorry Stella." She shook her head and wiped her nose.
"No, I'm sorry, it's just the hormones, I shouldn't have said what I did, I'm so sorry Mac. Thank you for this." She laughed and Mac started to blush. She shook her head again. "weren't you embarrassed?"
"No," Mac looked around at the whole crime lab staring and awing at the sweetness of it. He turned back to Stella. "but I am now." Stella flung her arms around his neck happily.
"I love you." He whispered into her neck. She sniffed, smiling.
"I love you too." They looked at each other and kissed. Lindsay was jumping about so happily behind them that the stitches cam undone and she lost her head. Her body spent the next few minutes trying to find it, only the minute it fell off, Danny and Flack stole it to play handball with.
Of course after this everything was happy and returned to normal again. But the crime lab never let Mac forget the song, which always embarrassed him now. Stella wasn't very helpful when someone teased Mac about it. She just stood there and sniggered.
yaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! love evryone lots. and a big kiss to those who reviewed me!
