Part Four

It wasn't long before Mac reappeared from his room, having thrown a t shirt and jeans on, much to Jo's disgust but relief at the same time. Having Mac discuss what happened/didn't happen on the very sofa she was sitting on, in just a towel was only going to make her nerves even worse, not to mention the blush that was all over her body and hadn't gone down just as bad.

He grabbed a coffee for himself and went and sat down on the sofa next to Jo with a heavy sigh.

"Good run?" Jo asked trying to change the ever looming subject.

"Yeah not too bad did about 10 miles….ok Jo about last night…" Mac started but was cut off by Jo.

"Look Mac, you don't have to say it, we were both just mucking around and one thing led…or didn't lead to another…it's no big deal…and anyway nothing really happened did it!" Jo said stopping when she realised she was rambling.

"No I suppose it didn't, I just don't want things to be weird between us, you know with having to live under the same roof and everything…so we're ok yeah?" Mac said smiling at her and the blatant blush that was spreading up her neck.

"Yeah of course we are…come here!" Jo said opening up her arms to hug him. He closed the gap between them with a smile and held her close, getting a mind spinning smell of her perfume as it enclosed him under her spell. They were interrupted by the door bell ringing.

"I'll get that." Mac said reluctantly pulling away from her. He had no idea who it would be, they hadn't ordered any food and they weren't expecting anyone, but he could not believe his eyes when he opened the door to a half-naked man, dressed only in a bow tie around his neck and a pair of very tight black shorts. Jo instantly stood up in surprise and walked over to the door to join a stunned Mac.

"Ummm can we help you?" Mac asked totally gobsmacked.

"Are you Jo Danville?" The man asked Jo, completely ignoring Mac.

"Err yeah" Jo said trying not to laugh.

"I am here to invite you to Camille's bachelorette party, here is your invitation, and I am Joe, I will be your personal butler on the night, I look forward to being at your beck and call on night, enjoy your evening." The gorgeous man said with a wink at Jo, which instantly made Mac clench up with anger.

"Oh..my..god!" was all Jo could say.

"He was…gorgeous!" Jo said walking back into the apartment and sat down on the couch, opening the red invitation, which burst with red glitter and feathers when she tore open the envelope.

"If you think so Jo." Mac said shutting the door.

"Oh come on Mac, it's just a bit of fun!" Jo said laughing.

"Well I think that man must feel very degraded having to walk around the city dressed like that! And what was all that about being your beck and call all night? What the hell does that mean?" Mac said trying to look at the invitation, but couldn't because Jo whipped it away when she saw him trying to peek at it.

"I am guessing that he will be fetching me drinks whenever I want and I don't know, just answering to my every request, they get paid a lot money to do it, so don't worry about him feeling degraded I am sure he is just fine with it all!" Jo said chuckling.

"Mmm well I am not sure about this, sounds all a bit cheap to me!" Mac said running out of excuses, why was he acting like this, she was a grown woman going out as part of a group to a bachelorette party…except there would most probably be men there eyeing her up all night, perfectly single men who would be mad not to look at Jo, because she would undoubtedly look stunning, as per usual! 'Snap out of it Mac!' He chastised himself.

"Oh and you guys going to a strip club for Sheldon's bachelor party won't be cheap! How is it not cheap leering at those women all night huh?" Jo said propositioning him. He was so jealous it was obvious! That guy was gorgeous, but way too young for her, he was probably not much older than Tyler, but it was still fun winding him up, especially as he wasn't doing a very good job of hiding it.

"Who said we were going to a strip club anyway? Oh Danny hasn't organised that has he!" Mac said moaning.

"No I don't know what you guys are doing, but that's the usual thing to do at a bachelor party isn't it? Throw ones at girls so thin they could pass out at any moment?" Jo said enjoying watching Mac squirm.

"Not my kind of bachelor party anyway!" Mac said laying his head down on the back of the couch and sighing.

"Well that's good to know…you know I didn't really fancy that guy don't you?" Jo said leaning her head on her hand so she was looking down at Mac's face.

"Didn't you?" he said looking up into her eyes, he tried not to sound too hopeful, they only just discussed the near miss they'd had only a matter of minutes ago, but he couldn't help the stirring he got in his stomach whenever she looked deep into his eyes.

"No, he's far too young for me, plus I don't really the idea of having someone at my beck and call all night, it all sounds a bit weird to me to be honest." Jo said smiling at him.

"Well I am sure you'll all have a great time, but let me know if he tries anything funny!" Mac said winking at her, a gesture that made her go weak at the knees even though she was sitting down.

"Shall I send you a text if I need rescuing?" Jo said laughing.

"Definitely, although I don't think you'll need it." Mac said smiling at her.

"Right I better go and pick a dress, there's only a few more days left until the big night, shall we order in tonight? You choose." Jo said, quickly hurrying off before she weakened anymore around Mac.

Mac smiled at her as she left the living room and went to her room. Why was it that he always found it so easy to be around her yet so difficult to not reach out and touch her? He sighed with frustration then picked up the phone to order a pizza, maybe he could use the food and that night's game to distract him from his new housemate, he very much doubted it though!

That evening Mac and Jo were watching the game. They had finished the pizza and were now relaxing on the couch next to each other. Jo had got changed and was now in her Alabama University t-shirt and pyjama shorts, an ensemble that made the hairs on the back of Mac's neck stand up, especially when she stretched her long, lithe legs out on the coffee table in front of her.

"Well this game is a disappointment!" Jo said yawning.

"Mmm well they're not doing too badly; got a while to go yet…do you want the last breadstick?" Mac asked picking it up and handing it to her.

"Thanks." Jo said breaking it in half and handing him the other half with a smile, which he matched with a chuckle.

"Good choice on the pizza by the way, thanks for remembering I hate olives!" Jo said nudging his foot with hers and stifling another yawn.

"That's ok, I hate them too…come here." Mac said opening out his arm to her, Jo smiled at him then shuffled up so snuggle up next to him; resting her head on his chest and instantly relaxing as his arm wrapped around her and held her close.

"You tired?" Mac asked her, feeing her warm breath tingle his skin as she breathed.

"Exhausted, brunch with my favourite boy then a gorgeous man turns up at the door wearing next to nothing; it's been a busy day!" Jo chuckled.

"I bet it has." Mac said laughing with her.

"I don't think I can stay awake for the rest of the game." Jo said sleepily.

"That's ok, I'm here, you go to sleep." Mac told her, running his hand through her soft hair when he felt her become heavier upon him as she finally succumbed to sleep.
