This chapter I might do differently I might put people in their POV. I rarely do this even though I enjoy doing it. Whenever it's italicized Stella's thinking and whenever the words are bold Mac is thinking. Well here's the next chapter, and thanks for the support of this story.

Mac was asleep on the couch, his dream was the best one he had in days. He's just surprised whenever he gets any sleep. This was his dream:

He was at his place in New York, doing his usual cleaning up. He had to be organized, after he got done he sat down on the couch. Stella entered with the spare key Mac let her have.

"Good afternoon Mac, I brought you some lunch," she handed him the bag.

"Thanks Stella, I appreciate your help."

"It's the least I could do, you did save my life last week."

"No problem Stell, you know I can't live without you."

Stella sat on the couch next to him, "I love you Mac," she said and kissed him.

"Wait, you love me?"

"Yeah, I have for the longest time, but I was always afraid to tell you this."

"I understand completely; the truth is that I love you too."

"So, since we love each other then let's go out together."

"Like boyfriend and girlfriend?"

"Precisely," she smiled, and kissed him gently on the lips. "I wouldn't have it any other way."

Then Mac woke up, in a real happy mood. He called Flack again.

"Mac, now what is it? You've been bugging me ALL day."

"I'm sorry, but I just had a dream."

"What's so important about it?"

"Well in it Stella said she loved me… do you think that means anything?"

"Not necessarily… unless she had the same dream. Otherwise I'm not so sure."

"Thanks, and sorry I'm calling you a lot."

"No I'm sorry for having an attitude about it. Talk to you later Mac," he said and hung up. He snuck into Stella's bedroom. He enjoyed watching her sleep.

"Mac," she said in her dream. "I need to tell you something urgent."

Mac knelt down next to her and listened.

"Yeah Mac, sit down. Now here I go… I love you Mac."

"I love you too Stella," he whispered then went back on the couch.

The morning came quickly for them, Stella was very refreshed once she woke up.

Stella's POV:

She walks out in the living room.

Aw, look at Mac sleep. What am I saying, we are only friends, why do I find Mac attractive.

Mac stretched on the couch looking adorable by the way. What's wrong with me; I get upset when Mac turns something little into something big, and I act like I don't want anything to happen. The truth is that apparently I love him, but I can't ruin our friendship.

Mac slowly sat up, "Good morning Stella."

Hey sexy. "Good morning to you too Mac," she smiled. I should call Lindsay, maybe she could help with my situation. "Mac, I'm going outside for a while, and don't follow me."

"Sure Stella," Stella turned around and walked into the hallway.

I wonder what Stella is going to do now?

Why won't she pick up?... oh here she is.

"Lindsay, I'm glad you picked up."

"I'm actually glad you called."

"You seem upset, Linds, what's going on?"

"Is it bad that I kissed Adam?"

"Wait one second, you kissed Adam?"

"Yeah, on the cheek and I feel bad about it."

"I'm not so sure, aren't you usually good at this thing?"

"Except when it's happened to me, why?"

"Because well two nights ago, I kind of slept with Mac, and he thinks it meant something."

"Well, does it?"

"I'm asking you the questions."

"Um… right…"

"I was kidding kiddo, but seriously what should I do?"

"If it doesn't mean anything than it shouldn't be important."

"I guess not, good luck with the Adam thing."

"And god luck with the Mac thing," they both hung up at the same time.

Why couldn't I just tell her right out that it does mean something? Now I have to go back in to Mac.

I wonder what Stella is doing, we really need to talk. Oh, she's back…

"We need to talk," they said in unison.

Oh fuck, I hope he starts. "Stella…"

"Yeah Mac," she sits down next to him.

How should I start? Stell, don't take this the wrong way, but… no that sounds lame. Here goes nothing…

"Stell, for the longest time I've kind of had feelings for you."

Had? What is he talking about? Does he not like me anymore? "You do? But aren't you afraid of what would happen with our friendship."

"As long as we are both happy I'm fine with anything."

Really, this isn't as bad as I thought it would be. "Mac, I've been thinking about you a lot in the past few days."

"Wait, you have?" Why do I seem so surprised? Must just be the shock of her saying it to me.

"Yeah, um… I mean…" she said confused.

"Stella, you are cute when you are confused."

"Really, thanks," she smiled.

Mac pushes the hair out of her face. What is Mac doing, is he fixing to kiss me?

What in the world am I doing, I'm not drunk, so this must mean something? I'll start leaning slowly, and give Stella a chance to know what I'm doing.

What's taking him so long to kiss me? Am I smiling?

Stella looks anxious, slowly is best though.

This is killing me, I'm going in. Stella pulls him close to her and their lips touch. This is pretty nice. He pulled her tongue with his. I am so glad that we are both sober. Stella and Mac release, and smile at each other.

"Well… that was…"

"Nice, yeah, it really was."

"So, now what?" Stella asked. Should I kiss him again or just let him talk?

"Stell, our friendship is more important to me than work. So, what should we do?"

Please say let's go out… please.

"I seriously don't know, let's see what happens later, right now let's just enjoy the rest of our last days off."

"Wait, does that mean you want to come back to work?"

"That's exactly what it means, Detective Taylor."

Yes, I am so glad she is coming back, I can't live doing my work without her by my side…

I hope you've enjoyed this chapter, this might be one of my favorites in this story, I might do this point of view thing more… if you guys enjoyed it.
