"What do you mean?" Stella asked finally. Mac blushed and looked down to ground while they still walked through the city.
"Mac?" She asked again after he didn't answer.
"Nothing… I just… forget it." He answered shyly and hectically.
"Come on Mac. I want to know it. You never say something without a reason." She said and then she realized what he could have thought of when he said it. Maybe he'll tell her something she was thinking of sometimes. Sometimes she had that dream of her and Mac. Mostly she had that dream when they had spent an evening together talking, drinking something and just havening fun together. But at least she had had that dream two days ago and that day they hadn't met after work. She had have a dream with her and Mac sometime walking home together or sometimes they were living together but every time she had that dream she stated that it was just a dream and nothing to wish it would be reality.
Mac stopped and looked at her. She had that peering look in her face again.
"Sorry, I just thought about a dream I had two days ago. I didn't want to say that aloud. I didn't think about it before I said it." Mac stated.
"A dream? Since when affects a dream your thinking?" Stella asked amused.
"Since it was a dream about you and me living together. I thought about that dream the last two days and every time I think about this dream it on one hand makes me smile and on the other hand it confuses me."
"Okay. That's mysterious… very mysterious." Stella said thoughtful.
"Why is that mysterious?"
"I tell you. I had the same dream and I had it also two days ago. Somehow it's like it was telepathy. Like a little ghost that was haunting us at the same night." Mac couldn't help but smile after her statement. Somehow it sounded funny what she had said but somehow she was right. He had just thought the same. Maybe there was something like telepathy between them.
"You believe in ghosts?" He asked seriously.
"Sometimes." She said and smiled.
"What do you think of this dream?"
Stella stood in surprise. She can't believe that this dream was keeping him occupied that long and intensive.
"I don't know. I just thought it was stupid dream. Just a little joke from my brain but it seems to be more than that since we had the same dream at the same time." She finally answered his question.
"Yeah it's the same what I thought first. But I felt something change in my thoughts and my feelings since that night and I still don't know why." He stated.
"Maybe it's a dream you want to come true?" She asked nearly whispering. Now it was Mac who stood in surprise. He hadn't thought about that but maybe it was an opportunity. Stella looked at him seriously and inquiring. Mac looked at her inquiring.
"What? It was just a guess. And by the way I was thinking about it, too." She said a little huffy.
"Ok. Ok. I didn't mean to make you upset or something. I was just surprised about what you said." He admitted and he knew that she was right. Sometimes he thought about that dream coming true. Sometimes he imagined how it might be having her around every time and share his life with her. But he didn't know what she was thinking about it. He knew that she was his best friend and he was afraid that he would disturb this friendship by telling her the feeling he had the last few weeks, because it wasn't the first time he had this dream. It started a few weeks ago after they had spent a nice evening in a little bar near the NYPD.
"Maybe you're right, Stella. But you know how I am and it wasn't the first time I had this dream." Now it was Stella who was surprised.
"Ok. Now it's my turn to be surprised by what you said." Mac smiled lightly.
They went on to walk the way to her apartment. They nearly reached the Central Park and Mac saw a taxi waiting for a passenger.
"You want to take the taxi?" He asked her.
"Now that you're here and want to walk to my place with me I prefer to walk with you." She said with a smile.
"What do you think about this dream coming true thing?" He asked her seriously.
"Are you serious you want to have an answer to that question?"
"Yep. I'm serious."
"Okay… actually I thought it would be stupid because we're best friends for more than 10 years now and actually I wanted to let it be that way. But now that you're asking… would worth to try it, don't you think?"
"Maybe. It depends on the feelings we have for each other."
"You mean love? Do you love me?" She asked direct and was a little surprised of her self that she asked him that direct.
"Honestly? Yes." He answered her question honestly. Now she was surprised again but she also was somehow happy that he said he loves her. "How about you? Do you love your best friend?"
"I love my boss… and my best friend." She confessed.
"Then it's worth to try." He said. And with that sentence they had arrived at Stella's apartment building. She turned to him and looked it him.
"So we're a couple since now?" She asked.
"I think so." He said and then she hugged him and placed a kiss on his cheek before she pulled away from him. She was about to turn to the door as he took her hand and she turned around again and she looked into his beautiful blue eyes which where shining like little stars now. He pulled her up to him and finally kissed her. All she could do was to reply the kiss.
"Spooky nights have something good." She said after they finally separated. He nodded in agreement. Then she opened the door to her apartment and turned around a last time.
"Good night Mac and… thanks for bringing me home." She said a bit shy.
"No problem, Stell. Good night and… I love you."
"I love you, too." She said.
Then Mac went to go home and she closed the door. She was happy and somehow she couldn't believe that they're a couple now and that he really had kissed her. With that happy feeling she got ready for bed and fell asleep fast. Now that she was at home she wasn't scared by the wind and it's sometimes spooky sounds.
So their dream came true, at least a part from that dream came true.
