I hope you enjoy this new chapter. I'm enjoying writing a little bit of fluff right now.

Chapter 6

When Mac and Dick arrived at Luigi's, Veronica and Logan were already seated in a booth waiting.

"Hey guys." Mac said as she and Dick sat down at the table.

"How are you doing Mac? What did the doctor say?" Veronica looked up at Mac with worry.

"There was no concussion and nothing was broken. I'm just really sore and have a few bruises. I don't suggest ever getting thrown down a flight of stairs."

"So, how did this happen?" Veronica pointed between Mac and Dick.

"Well you know how Dick is a prude and all. I got him really drunk on tequila, which you know since he isn't a big drinker it didn't take much, and then I took advantage of him." Mac kept her face straight as Dick and Logan laughed.

Veronica rolled her eyes. "Dick is on my to tase list already, don't make me add you too."

The waitress came up at that moment to take their orders. After the food was ordered, Mac placed a hand on Dick's leg under the table and he placed his arm around her waist.

"Dick, maybe you would like to tell me how you conned one of best friends into…" Veronica gagged. "Into whatever this is." She moved her hand in a circle.

"Ronnie." Dick started.

"Oh and if you give me some crap story, I will tase you." Veronica smiled what some may consider a sweet smile, but it made Mac worried.

"Well, we ran into each other at Madison's wedding and I gave her a ride home after. Then she just couldn't keep her hands off the Dickster. By the way, did you know she has a dirty mouth?"

"Actually, Dick was a gentleman that night. I think the surprise of that threw me off my game." Mac smirked at Veronica.

"I told you to never tell anyone that. I have a rep to protect woman." Dick kissed her on the side of the head.

"Yuck! Please stop with the PDA. We are here to eat and I might just vomit on the table." Veronica gagged.

Logan laughed. "I'm for one glad to see the two of you together. So, you two had already started seeing each other when we ran into Mac at the beach?"

Dick smiled at Logan. "Yup."

Mac noticed that Veronica was obviously distressed and just seemed to get angrier the longer they sat there.

"Hey Dick. Can you let me up?" She looked at Veronica. "V, would you join me in the restroom?"

Dick helped Mac lift herself out of the booth. "Why do women go to the bathroom together?"

Mac looked at him and Logan. "Lesbian sex." She saw Dick's mouth drop open before she turned and walked away with Veronica.

Once inside the restroom, Mac turned to face Veronica. "I know you aren't happy about me and Dick. Talk to me."

"It's Dick. I tolerate him because he's Logan's best friend, but I don't trust him. I know he's going to end up hurting you and after everything with Cassidy." She shook her head. "I don't want another Casablancas to break you." Veronica had tears in her eyes. "After Cassidy, you were so withdrawn and untrusting. I don't want that to happen again."

Mac hugged her around the shoulders, but when Veronica put her arms around Mac's waist, she gasped. "Sorry. I have a bruise on my rubs from last night." She lifted her shirt and showed Veronica.

"That must hurt. I'm sorry that I put you in that position."

"It's okay V. I was a willing participant." Mac rubbed her hand on Veronica's shoulder. "But back to Dick. Veronica, I'm in love with him. That's why we are not keeping it a secret anymore."

"But how does he feel about you?" Veronica gave her a stern look. "Dick doesn't know the meaning of love."

Mac gave a huge smile that went all the way to her eyes. "He told me he loved me first. You didn't see him today. I woke up so sore from last night and he jumped up to get me some pain relief. He even turned me down for sex because he thought I was to bruised and didn't want to hurt me. You don't know the Dick that I've gotten to be with this past month." She laughed at the memory of their first kiss. "The night after the wedding, I caused him to drop a glass in my kitchen. He was worried I would cut my feet so he lifted me onto the counter and swept it up."

"Dick? Doing housework? I would pay to see that." Veronica scoffed.

"He isn't the same Dick from high school. That man out there is tender and caring. When Charles decided to pull the father crap on me at the wedding and grabbed me, Dick made him let go of my arm. He even knows about the switch." Mac leaned against the vanity. "I've never been happier. Plus, the sex is phenomenal."

"GROSS!" Veronica's face softened and she loosely hugged Mac. "If you have fallen in love with him, then I can at least try to get along with him as long as you never tell me about sex with Dick again. But I want you to understand that if he hurts you, then they will not find his body."

Mac pointed at Veronica. "You told me about Logan and the tongue thing."

"Which he now knows I told you by the way! You betrayed me by telling him."

"Technically I told Dick and Dick told Logan."

They returned to the table and the remainder of the meal was filled with friendly banter.

Once Mac and Dick were back in his truck, he turned to Mac. "Okay, so what did you and Ronnie talk about in the bathroom?"

"I told you it was lesbian sex. You turned me down earlier and V is easier to deal with after she's had an orgasm." She leaned across the center console and kissed him.

Dick looked off for a minute with a goofy grin on his face. "While that just gave me a lot of great mental images for my spank bank, I don't believe it."

Mac sighed. "She wasn't talking and I knew she had something she wanted to say to me, so I asked her to go to the bathroom. I let her get out what she needed to say and then told her that we were in love." She blinked her eyelashes at him. "Then I started talking about how good you were in bed and she relented and promised to be nice to you as long as I never tell her about you and sex again."

Dick started laughing from the driver's seat as he turned the car on. "I was prepared to be tased, it's a pleasant surprise to not be."

"Oh she also threatened to kill you and hide the body if you hurt me. She's over tasing you."

That Wednesday night Mac and Dick arrived at the Mackenzie's residence for dinner at 6:00. Before getting out of the truck, Mac grabbed Dick's arm.

"I would like to apologize for anything weird or uncomfortable that happens tonight."

Dick got out of the truck and walked around to open Mac's door, but Mac didn't move to get out. "You know you have to get out right?"

Mac looked at him. "Are you sure you don't want out of this? We can leave, they'll never know."

"Mac, Logan filled me in on the rules for meeting the parents. I don't talk about the fact I've seen you naked and be careful with my language."

"You're not the person I'm worried about." She got out of the truck and threw her head back. "Since there's a good chance you may run from the house by the end of the night and this may be the last time we speak. I love you."

Dick leaned down and kissed her. "I love you too. And I promise not to leave running."

"You say that now." Mac put her hand out and Dick placed his in hers. "Let's do this."

They walked hand in hand to the front porch and the door swung open.

Natalie Mackenzie stood in the doorway. "I'm so glad you could come." She hugged Dick first and then Mac. "Come in." She pushed them inside the house.

Once inside, Mac walked to her father who was standing near the door and gave him a kiss on the cheek. "Hi Dad."

"Hey sweetie." He extended his hand to Dick. "It's good to see you again Dick. Can I offer you a beer?"

"Um…" Dick looked at Mac, who gave him a quick nod. "Sure, thanks."

Sam Mackenzie called towards the back of the house. "Ryan, bring out a beer for Dick too." He gestured to the couch. "Come on in and sit down Dick."

Mac started to walk into the living room, but was grabbed by her mother.

"Cindy and I will be in the kitchen."

Mac gave Dick an apologetic look as her mom pushed her into the kitchen. "Mom are you sure it's safe to leave Dick with Dad? Alone?"

When they got to the kitchen, Ryan had just finished opening three beers and was walking towards them. Mac grabbed him by the shirt. "Please protect Dick. You owe me."

Ryan laughed and walked out of the kitchen backwards while dancing and mocking Mac.

"Honey." Mac turned around to face her mother. "I made you a stuffed Portobello since you won't eat the pot roast. I roasted all the vegetables separate and we have salad too."

"That sounds delicious mom." Mac went to the refrigerator and pulled out a beer for herself.

"So how serious are you and Dick?" Natalie handed Mac a cucumber and tomato. "Can you cut these up for the salad?"

Mac pulled out a cutting board and knife. "We are exclusive." She took a sip of beer.

"I've always been a fan of spring weddings, but spring is ending so fall would also be nice."

Mac choked on the beer as it went down. "Mom! We've only been dating a month."

"Well honey, you are almost 30, which means your clock is ticking. I would like to be a grandmother some day."

Mac threw her head back. "Please stop talking. I beg of you." She said a silent prayer that her dad wasn't saying anything like this to Dick.

Ryan came into the kitchen giggling. Mac grabbed him and fisted his shirt in her two hands. "Please tell me Dad isn't doing anything embarrassing."

"Do you want the truth or the lie you asked for?" Ryan laughed some more as Mac let go of his shirt. "I must say that Dick is handling it very well. I'm impressed with his answer when Dad asked about his intentions towards you." He wagged his eyebrows at her.

Mac perked up. "What did he say?"

Ryan grinned as he pulled out three more beers. "I'm not telling you." He grabbed the bottle opener and danced around Mac as he went back into the living room.

The dinner was uneventful and they were able to leave just a little after eight. Once inside the car, Mac let out a long sigh of relief. She was relieved that the conversation at dinner was tamed with plenty of laughs. However, the time spent apart was nagging at her.

"So what did you, Ryan, and my dad talked about?"

Dick grinned as he turned on the truck. "What did you and your mom talk about?"

"Vegetables. Now what happened before Ryan came into the kitchen?"

He was laughing. "Your dad asked what my intentions towards his daughter were."

Mac moaned. "Ryan said that. What did you say?"

"I told him I was purely using you for sex."

"You're a dick." She knew he was joking.

He laughed some more. "Just trying to live up to my name." After a brief pause, "I'm not going to tell you what I said, but I will say your dad was interested in my surfing and looks forward to having athletic grandchildren." Dick glimpsed over at Mac.

Mac sunk down in her seat and covered her face. "I'm not surprised, since my mom was basically planning our wedding in the kitchen." She uncovered her face. "How did you not flee the house before the food was served?"

Dick pulled into the parking garage at Mac's apartment. After parking, he and Mac got out of the truck. He pulled her into his arms. "Because I like your parents and it didn't scare me. I kind of like the idea of our relationship going that direction."

Mac tilted her head and smiled up at him. "I do too, but it's one thing for us to talk about it and another for my parents to grill you."

"We've never talked about it." He leaned down and kissed her. "But good to know we're on the same page." Dick wrapped his hands around her waist and pulled her towards the elevator.

Once inside her apartment, she kicked off her flats and began unbuttoning Dick's shirt before pulling it out of his jeans as he removed his shoes and socks. He pulled her to him where he attacked her mouth and she allowed his tongue inside.

Mac broke away from him and turned towards the bedroom. She slowly pulled her shirt off showing that she wasn't wearing a bra and then turned to face him as she undid her jeans. Dick pulled his shirt the rest of the way off and removed his pants as he followed her into the bedroom.

"God, you're beautiful." He pulled her into his arms and kissed her.

Her bruises had faded quite a bit and all the soreness was gone.

Mac pushed him back onto the bed and climbed on top of him. She moved her lips to his neck and then down his chest and stomach. Her fingers ran along his waist pants before she pulled them down and off. Her tongue licked up his shaft and then she took him into her mouth. Before Dick, Mac hated giving blowjobs, but she loved the way she could affect Dick with her mouth and found herself enjoying it with him.

Dick sat up and pulled her up. "I want to be in you."

Mac stood up and pulled her underwear down before straddling Dick and lowering herself onto him. She pumped up and down a few times while maintaining eye contact with Dick before slamming down hard and stopping.

She bit her lip. "So what are your intentions towards me?" A smile slowly spread across her face.

Dick shook his head and moved his hands to grip her ass. "Not fair. You're playing dirty." He gave her a little spank.

Mac laughed as she rocked her hips slowly and winked at him. "I know."

He placed his hands on her hips and sat up to take her breast in his mouth. "I can play dirty too."

Mac let out a moan as Dick smiled against her skin and she ran her hand in his hair. "Please tell me what you said."

Dick laughed and looked up at her. "I said that I planned to marry you when the time is right."

A smile covered Mac's face because that was the answer she was hoping for. "Good answer." She noticed the smile on Dick's face and kissed him as she began to move against him.
