Hey guys! Another chapter up! Whoo! This chapter says it is three months later so… it's spring, just in case you get confused! I hope you like it.

March 2010, Saturday morning

Mac and I have been dating for while. The team doesn't know yet and Mac wants to tell them but I am afraid for Stella because Stella is Mac's best friend and so am I.

I don't know how Stella is going to react about our relationship.

This morning, I was at Mac's place and he was getting ready for work.

I was lying in bed wearing Mac's white shirt and my underwear.

I sit up and watch Mac putting on his tie.

"Mac?"

Mac looked up. "Yes, baby?"

"I know you want to tell the team that we are in a relationship now but can I tell Stella myself?"

"Why?" Mac finished with his tie and put on his blazer, sitting down next to me. He rubs my knee to comfort me.

"Because Stella is my best friend and she is closer to you too. I just think that it is better that way if she hears it from me instead of as a team."

Mac paused to think about what I had said and nodded.

"You're right. Well, I got to go now, baby. I'll see you tonight. Bye." Mac kisses me goodbye.

"Bye, honey!"

I listen his footsteps fading from the room and he closes his front door.

I grab my cell phone since I didn't want to give away Mac's place by using his phone.

I dial Stella's phone number and it rings.

I hear Stella's voice.

"Hello, Isabella!"

"Hey, Stella! How are you doing?"

"Oh, I'm great. I'm at work. How are you?"

"I'm fine. Anyway, the reason I'm calling is to ask you a question. Can you take a lunch break if you are not too busy and have a lunch with me at Katz's Delicatessen?"

"Oh, sure! What time do you want to meet?"

"Why don't we meet at 12:30? Is it okay?"

"Yes, I'll see you at 12:30. I can't wait to see you soon! Bye!"

"Bye!" I hanged up my cell phone and put it in my purse.

I groaned, putting my face into my hands. I am so nervous to tell her now.

"Okay, Isabella. Do not chicken out..." I mumbled to myself.

I got out of his bed and went to his bathroom where I turned on the shower.

I take off his shirt and my underwear, throwing them on the blue tile floors and got in the shower.

I used my favorite shower gel into a sponge and clean myself.

I finish and got out of the shower, taking the blue towel and wrap it around my body.

I went to "my drawer" since Mac lent me his drawer so I could leave my stuff at his apartment and not worry about bringing some clothes from my apartment.

I take out my black jeans, white tank top and light pink cardigan, which is cropped off to show off my top.

I went to my purse and took out my normal make up and put makeup on my face.

Then I put on my lace underwear and lace bra and put my clothes on. I grab my brown leather bag and put money in my wallet in my bag.

I look around for a second to see if I miss anything and I spot my grey aviator sunglasses on the kitchen counter. I grab it and put it on top of my head.

I walked to the corner of the front door and put on my black flats. I'm planning to walk to the lunch so I might as well to wear comfortable shoes.

I look at my watch and it says 12:00 now.

I put my purse on my shoulder and grab the key to lock Mac's door.

I walked out and locked up the door, then went downstairs.

I reached to the sidewalk and started to walk toward to the place.

When I got there, I got the table outside and waited for Stella.

I had ordered a glass of coke when Stella arrived.

"Hey, girl!" Stella says, walking up to our table. I stood up and we hugged.

Then we sat down and Stella orders her drink.

While we were waiting for her drink to come, we were catching up about what is going on.

"Yeah, Lindsay is planning to visit her mom in Montana in sometimes in April before her baby arrives." Stella says, pausing to sip her water.

"That sounds great! Did Lindsay have a baby shower yet?"

"No, but I am planning to throw a baby shower for her when she comes back from Montana. I need a place to throw a baby shower because my apartment is not big enough."

"I have an idea. Why don't you do it at my apartment? It's huge and it has big kitchen and a big living room. You've been there of course."

"Why, of course! I didn't think of that! Are you sure about that?"

"Yeah, I am sure, Stella. I can help you with the shower if you want me to."

"That would be wonderful! Do you still cook?"

"Yes." I laughed

A waitress came by and took our orders.

After we ordered, Stella continues talking about everybody on the team, how Flack and Jessica are getting serious now.

"Anyway, I think Mac is seeing someone."

I almost dropped my drink when she said that.

I pretend that I didn't know.

"Oh, why do you say that?"

"Because Mac has been happy lately, just smiling and whistling a tune every time."

I cleared my throat. "Well, you're his best friend… have you asked him about it?"

"No, it is none of my business… I would love to but I think I'm going to wait until he tells me."

"Uh, Stella. There is something I need to tell you."

"Yeah?"

"I know who Mac is dating. And it's someone you know"

Stella leaned over in surprise.

"Really? Tell me who it is." Stella smiled.

My stomach was filled with butterflies.

"It's me."

Stella leaned back and she looked confused.

"What?" Stella said in shock.

"Yeah, Mac and I have been dating for about three months."

"Okay. First of all, why are you dating him?"

"Stella, what kind of question is that?" I laugh nervously.

"No, I want to know why you are dating him."

"Because we love each other, Stella."

Stella looks angry.

"Isabella, do you even know about his past and his family?"

"Stella, we are getting known each other… we're learning more about each other, you know?"

"No, does he even know about what happened to your parents and how you went through a five years relationship with a guy?"

"I mean, are you even sleeping with him?"

"Oh my god, Stella!" I scoffed

I got angry at her.

"Stella! That's enough. Please stop it. All I want is your support for me and Mac."

She scoffed angrily.

"Mac is 24 years older than you. It is just gross! It is like dating your father."

"Stella, I don't give a shit if he is 24 years older than me! I care about him and he cares about me. You know what!? I'm leaving now."

The waitress had arrived in time with food when I am about to leave. I grab my wallet and put down the money for food and tip.

"Bye, Stella!" I said angrily, walking out.

I walked back to Mac's apartment and got in.

I took off my flats and threw them across the room.

I got into his bed and covered my head for the rest of the day, crying myself to sleep.

Wow.. Stella and Isabella got into a huge fight... Reviews, Reviews!!!!!!!!! Will they be friends again? "Dud duh dud"
