Haven't updated in a little while school has been hectic, I have a few more days of school until I'm out for the summer… now here's the next chapter, about four hours since the party…
"So Mac, what are our plans for the night?"
"I don't know, all I can think about is about disappointed Flack is."
"I have a good idea," she mentioned while taking out her cell phone. It rang a few times and then Don answered. "Flack it's Stella, since me and Mac have nothing important planned I was wondering if you wanted to come and get a couple of drinks with us."
"I wouldn't want to impose."
"No, you wouldn't, please come."
"If you insist, I'll meet you guys at the end of my shift."
"Okay, see you then," she said and hung up.
"Stella, I don't mind Don coming, but it's our month anniversary."
"But Flack needs us, I promise we'll have the whole day tomorrow by ourselves."
"You mean like taking a day off?" he asked excitedly. Stella nods. "Okay, that sounds like a pretty good plan," he kissed Stella.
"Do you want some coffee?"
"Sure," Mac smiles and he watches her walk out of the office.
Moments later Danny comes in.
"Why wasn't I invited to this getting drinks tonight?"
"It wasn't my idea Stella thought that we should cheer Flack up."
"Well, I would like to be cheered up too."
"Fine, I guess you could go, but just don't tell Stella, just yet."
"Okay Mac," he smiled and left.
I hope Stella won't get too upset about this.
Meanwhile in the coffee room Stella was talking to Adam, when Lindsay came into the room.
"So, I can go, right?"
"Yes Adam, but just don't tell Mac. I don't want him to be angry at me for the rest of the day."
"Okay Stell," he kissed her cheek in a brotherly way and left.
"What is Adam going to?"
"The bar tonight with me, Mac and Flack."
"You couldn't invite me?"
"I don't know Lindsay with Adam going it's kind of pushing it, we are just trying to cheer Don up."
"Oh, I understand," Lindsay frowns. "But I don't know how Danny could come too."
"Wait, Danny's coming?"
"Yeah, I thought you asked him to come."
"It was probably Don who told him," Stella guessed.
Mac better not be upset with me inviting Adam, I already messed up today by inviting Don for us to keep company… on our month anniversary mind you… tonight's going to be a long night.
The next couple of hours were pretty much filled with doing nothing, Flack called around eight.
"I'm outside of the lab waiting for you guys."
"Okay Don, me and Mac will be out shortly," she said and hung up her phone. "Well, let's go, Don is waiting."
Mac nods and they take their coats and go to the front of the lab.
"Let's hit it," Don said excitedly.
"Let's wait for a second or two," Stella and Mac suggested at the same time, and then gave each other weird looks. Soon Adam, and Danny come outside.
"We're ready," they smiled together.
"Adam, what are you doing here?"
"Stella invited me Mac, but I thought it was only you three and me, where did Danny come into this?"
"Well, I invited him, he is great friends with Don anyway."
"So, can we go yet?"
"Hold on Don, Lindsay's coming."
"Okay, so let me get this straight, I invited Danny and Stella invited Adam, and Lindsay?"
"Yeah Mac," Stella complained. "I only invited Lindsay because I heard that Danny was coming."
At the mention of Lindsay's name she walks out of the building.
"We can go now," she smiled.
"Aren't Hawkes and Sid coming?" Mac grunted while looking at Stella.
"Oh, they didn't want to come Mac…" Lindsay said.
"I guess we can go now," Flack smiles, so they all walk to the pub a block away. Mac and Stella sat down, Stella was at one end and Mac was at the other. Lindsay and Adam sat next to Stella and Don and Danny sat next to Mac.
"Well, isn't this exciting?" Lindsay asked.
"Let's just order some beers," Mac stated upset and took the order. The bartender grabbed some bottles from the shelf.
"So here we have two girls and four guys. Who's with who, if I can ask?" he asked more directed to Stella and Lindsay, but mainly Stella.
"I'm with Mr. Grumpy all the way on the right."
"And mine is sitting next to Mr. Grumpy," Lindsay laughed.
"Oh, well isn't that a shame," he told Stella.
"Don't worry he's usually like this," she stated quietly so Mac wouldn't hear, but he did anyway, and tuned in conversation with Danny and Flack.
"So, are you guys married or what?"
"No, just our one month anniversary."
"Oh, you guys make a cute couple by the way, but he doesn't look that into you." Mac snarled at the bartender and at Stella.
"Barkeep, us three want more beer."
He stops talking to Stella and serves the three guys.
"I think he likes you Stell," both Adam and Lindsay whispered.
Stella smiled, but didn't know which of more, how cute the bartender looked or how jealous Mac was getting.
Him being jealous is way better nobody can compare to how Mac looks.
"Hey boys, you want go shoot some pool?" Lindsay asked Flack and Danny.
"Um… sure" the guys shrugged and got up.
"I'm coming with you guys," Mac said jumping off of the barstool.
Anything to get my mind off this bartender jerk, are all bartenders this way? Who cares, I'm going to play pool, I need to have a little fun tonight. But with one arm it isn't going to be easy, but I can manage because I'm Mac Taylor.
"Adam, Stella, you guys coming."
"We rather not, especially with you playing Linds," Stella smiled.
"Suit yourself,' she shrugs and goes to the pool table with the guys waiting on her.
"Stella, are you going to be all right?"
"What Adam? Oh I'm fine just had a long day."
They turn around to watch them play pool, Mac sat out because nobody wanted to help him with his stick. About thirty minutes later they are all almost drunk, except Lindsay.
"You guys I would love to stay, but our babysitter is probably tired. See you later Danny," she kissed him, and left the bar.
"I guess it's guys night out," Mac stated drunk.
"Except that Stella is here."
"Oh right thanks for reminding me Adam. Hey babe, why don't you come and play?" Mac yelled across the pub.
Stella shrugs half drunk and goes over there.
"Sorry about earlier," Stella started.
"Don't worry 'bout it, I was just jealous I guess."
"Well, I guess we are even…" she kissed him.
"Woah, you two… get a room," Adam and Danny smirked. They release their grasp. Stella blushed and was still holding onto Mac.
"It's not my fault you guys don't have something like this," she smirked and went back to kissing Mac. Flack came back from the bathroom.
"Wow, them two are getting at it," Flack frowned, "Let's go back to playing pool."
Moments later Stella started moaning.
"OKAY, bad idea," Danny hollered. "We should really go."
"I'm right behind you," Flack took Danny by the arm and they left the bar. They stopped once they left.
"Adam, what are you still doing here?"
"I was just fixing to go," he blushed.
"Don't go, Stella and me need some company," he said jumping onto the pool table to sit down, and Stella sat with him, and laid her head on his shoulder.
"Well, what am I going to do?"
"I don't know," Mac smiled, and unwarily started kissing Stella. She fell back against the table top and they started to do it (the best they could).
"I'm really going now," Adam frowned, turned and left.
* * * *
The next morning, Stella woke up with a major headache, Mac was at her side on his couch, covered in a blanket.
"Good morning sunshine," Stella greeted Mac.
"What happened last night?"
"I don't know, but I think we slept together."
"The last thing I remembered was me being jealous of you with the bartender. It reminded me back in Greece with Marshal."
"I'm sorry you felt that way… why do we always have the good sex when we're drunk?"
"It's just our luck I guess, but what I'm wondering is how we did it with my arm in a sling."
"People can do a lot of things when they're drunk."
"Yeah, you're right," Mac sighs and looks at his watch, and he sat up quickly. "Stella, OMG Stella, we're so going to be late to work… we have to get ready, and quick."
Stella grabbed his arm, "Mac, we aren't going to be late, so calm down, and if I remember correctly it's our day off."
"Yeah, I forgot," they both sat up and Mac put his head on her shoulders for a change.
"You feel comfortable? Well don't be for long, I'm moving in today."
"Wait, you are?"
Yep, but I don't think you'll be much help with your arm…"
Mac cut her off, "Nothing is that impossible for Mac Taylor," he smirks. "Well we should get dressed… I can't believe that we are finally going to live together."
"Neither can I Mac, neither can I."
Well that's it for this chapter, next chap they move her stuff… review and I'll probably type quicker, but I doubt it because the last month of school is usually filled with work, and projects…
