I love these reviews I'm getting and for all the people who put this story on their alerts and favorites. You guys deserve the best.
Stella was sitting at the bar again.
"Hey Stella, what's the matter?"
"Just something between me and Mac."
"Stella, if something's wrong you know you can tell me right?"
"Of course," Marshal comes from behind his counter and started massaging her.
"You just need to relax Stella, some guys are like that."
"But, he's like my best friend," she frowns. He put his head on her shoulders.
"It'll be all right, I promise," he said and kisses her cheek.
"Thanks for being concerned; I've got the best outfit for our date tonight," she said changing the subject.
"Are you sure you feel like going?"
"I'm positive, it will be a fun night."
Hours passed and Stella was getting ready for her date. Mac couldn't help but watch her; they didn't talk ever since that last incident.
Back in New York it was lunch break. Danny was nowhere to be seen, and Adam was worried, so he called Lindsay.
"Where's Danny?"
"I don't know, I haven't seen him in a while," Adam frowns.
"He usually brings me some lunch."
"I'm on it," Adam smiles and hangs up. Lindsay was confused on what he meant.
About twenty minutes later Adam went to Lindsay's with some food. He knocks on her door, she gets up and answers it.
"Adam, you didn't have to bring me anything."
"Well, can I come in or not?"
"Um… sure, you can sit on the couch," Adam nods and goes inside.
Back at the hotel in Greece, Stella is done getting ready.
"Stella, you look nice."
"Thanks Mac," she said then sat down next to him.
"When's he coming?"
"Any moment now, you should get out and do something tonight too Mac."
"I don't know, I have plans just to stay in here and do stuff..."
"Suit yourself Mac." Seconds later Marshal knocks on the door. Stella gets up and opens it.
"Hey, you look beautiful."
"Well, let's go."
They go to a real big, fancy restaurant called Diogenes.
Meanwhile Mac was sitting on the couch. He kept on thinking about what happened with him and Stella last night. He wanted to tell someone, but was debating on who to tell. It took him almost twenty minutes to decide who to call.
"Detective Flack?"
"Hey Don, it's me…"
"Mac, what's up man?"
"I've decided that you are good with secrets."
"Yeah, and what's it about?"
"Well, something happened last night and I want to talk to you about it."
"Okay Mac, what happened?"
"I… well I slept with Stella."
"What!? I mean, that's great and all, but… what?"
"Yeah, you see we were both drunk and… the point is that she's upset that it happened."
"I would be too, you guys have a strong friendship and if you guys got together it would be hard on both of you."
"I guess you're right."
"Where is Stella anyway?"
"On a date with a bartender named Marshal."
"A date? I would be bummed if I were you."
"Don't worry I am, it's hard seeing Stella with another guy."
"I know how you feel, this conversation is safe with me," Flack swore.
"Okay Don, see you guys in a few days."
"Mac, give my love to Stella, okay?"
Mac sighs and hangs up. Back at New York Adam is fixing to go.
"Thanks for keeping me company."
"It's the least I could do, since Danny doesn't seem to care."
"See you later, okay Adam."
"Yeah," he said and Lindsay kissed his cheek randomly. He left quickly Lindsay didn't know what she just did.
Stella was enjoying her date, to some extent. She kept on wondering about last night and how Mac was holding up.
"Stella, you look distracted."
"No, I'm good just thinking about… you."
"Oh, after we get the check you want to go to my place?"
"Um… sure, I have nothing important to do," she smiled.
They finished eating and got their check.
"That was a good dinner, I've really enjoyed tonight."
"It's not over yet," he smirks. They get a cab and go to his place. He lived three blocks from the bar. He unlocks his front door and they enter, and he leads her to the couch.
"What a lovely place, do you have pets or anything?"
"Nope, I'm just by myself, which is why I'm at the bar a lot. Every week someone different comes."
"You never invite of them over to your house," she laughed.
"Not at all, I haven't had a date in years, now that I think about it."
"Oh, that sucks."
"Not really," he smiles and Stella scoots closer to him, and she grabs his hand and their fingers intertwine.
"You can't tell me you don't get lonely, I live alone and I get lonely."
"Well, girls like to talk and conversate which is hard to do alone."
"Thanks for pointing out the obvious."
They both laugh and Stella put her head on his shoulder. He nudges her off to kiss her. They started kissing and it got really passionate.
"Um Stell, are you sure about this?"
"It's all good Mac… I mean Marshal."
"Stella, it's all right, it's not the first time a women called me by the wrong name."
"No it's not, I'm sorry… I'm gonna go."
"Stella, don't go… come back," he was saying, but she left and went back to her hotel room. She was frustrated with herself, and didn't fully understand what made her call Marshal Mac. She opened her room up and Mac was laying down on the couch. He got up once he heard the door close.
"How was the date?"
"It went pretty well; except for before I left," she said and sat down on the couch
"What happened?"
"Nothing you should know about."
"Then why did you tell me?" he raised his eyebrow.
"It's nothing, just forget I ever mentioned it."
"Okay, but you can talk to me you know."
"Yeah Mac, I'm getting tired, I think I'm going to hit the hay."
"Well, you go do that then," he smirked. Stella gave in and told him.
"Okay, you win, before I left I called Marshal… Mac," she got up from the couch leaving Mac speechless. He picked up his phone and dialed Flack.
"Mac, what's up now?"
"Stella called her date Mac."
"Something is wrong with you Mac. You over analyze everything. I really need to get back to work, so talk to you later."
"Flack?"
"Mac, I didn't tell anyone anything."
"Okay, just making sure, talk to you later," he said and hung up his cell, and went back to sleep.
