"...lika a lover and a best friend..." *smacked* fanfic

AnJella

CSI Level One
Hey! Since I finished my last fic few weeks ago I thought it was time to start something new. I actually planned to go writing with the other fic but somehow I hadn't the right idea to continue it. This fic is based on the fact that Stel was knocked out by Frankie's brother in Central Park and that she and Mac arrested that guy in the end, but anything else isn't related to the othre fic.
Title: "...like a lover and a best friend..."
Pairing: Mac and Stella...who else ?:lol:

„It’s okay Stel. You’ll be fine.“ Mac said, gently caressing Stella’s soft and curly hair. “There’s no need to worry I’m always there for you, right?”
“I know Mac.” She replied, still sobbing. “But why Mac? Why now? I mean; I thought we arrested this guy!”
“Hey…we did and you know that. He’s in prison he can’t hurt you in any way. Promised.”
“I know that it’s practically impossible…but still I’m scared why did he call?” She asked desperately and leant her head even closer onto Mac’s chest.
“And why is it affecting me that hard?”
“Hey…hey. Look at me.” Mac said forcing her to look into his eyes. “Everybody would be the same in your situation. If I were in the same situation I’m sure I wouldn’t be able to handle it as well as you did. You’re strong and you know that. And I’m telling you again no one…really no one will ever hurt you again. Okay ? And now please…stop crying. You know it’s breaking my heart to see you suffering.”
“Oh Mac. You’re such a sweetheart. And that’s why I love you so much. Well...hmm…you know how I mean that. In an amicable way.” She told him, laughing again. “Christ I couldn’t even imagine being with you. “ But somehow she didn’t even believe her own words. She knew that she was lying to him and herself.
And then she was again the ‘old Stella’ he’s known for such a long time. His best friend, his save harbour, the person he could always talk to, the one he loved in a very special way and the one who really understands him in every situation. And of course that fun person who’s always trying to make the best out of her situation.
He suddenly snapped out of his thoughts when Stella asked him:
“What do you think of going of going to that restaurant, where we had to question that suspect lately and then afterwards…hmm we’ll see.”
“You know there’s this movie in the theatres I’ve wanted to watch for a long time. Why not watch it together?” Mac suggested.
“Sounds like a date. Let’s go.” Stella chuckled and he wrapped his arm around her waist just like he always does. Lately.
Walking through New York City’s streets by Mac’s side Stella realized how lucky she was to have such a good best friend. She remembered how sad and down she was only few hours ago. And now after having spoken to Mac she felt relieved in a way, she always does after trusting Mac with her problems. She didn’t know why it was like that but it made her happy to know that she has someone who always loves her no matter how doggish or how good-humoured she is. Now she was sure, that she did really love Mac; not just in an amicable way as she always pretends.

“You know Mac. It’s pretty ironical! Why didn’t we find that guy with the taxi murders earlier. I mean we always knew who he was...well at least Reed…in a way.” Stella asked still chewing her Spaghetti.
“I don’t know, Stella. Seriously. I’m just so happy that we got him a Reed is still alive…If you hadn’t been there that fast. I don’t now. Maybe I would’ve no family at all, now. I thank you so much for that.”
“Hey, that’s what we do – we take care of each other and the ones we love, right?” She was now being totally serious. It wasn’t a theme she’s in the mood to make jokes about. At least Reed thought that Stella was his wife, was it so obvious that they…that they are more than just friends?
“I couldn’t live without Reed. I really started to love him in a special way. Like a son I have to take care of.”
“Yeah, you’re right Reed is also like a son for me. Don’t you think it’s fun that Reed thought you are my wife? I mean is it so obvious that…”
“Wait…wait Mac! How did you read my mind?”
“Stel! How do you want me to do that? Ok, I know you well, very well to be honest. But I’m not a mind reader. Hmm I can see sometimes what’s going on in someone, which is often pretty useful, but I don’t know …mind reading”
“Don’t get ridiculous now...” she said teasingly. And then she bursted out in laughing.
“Hey, what’s so funny about that?”
“Hmm it’s nothing. This moment was just such a funny moment. I have no idea why. We don’t even have to talk. I’m sure now that…er…that…” She abruptly stopped laughing and managed to be serious.
“What Stel”
“Christ Mac?! Don’t you see that? You’re more than a best friend for me.” It was such an emotional moment, after her confession she’s been longing for, for such a long time, that she cried from relief.
“Shh… shh. Don’t cry Stel.”
Mac tried to calm her down. And then he softly put his finger on his lips. “Shh…please calm down. Of course I did realize that too! But how did you want me to know that you’re the same…I couldn’t have live with that…”
“Mac…you’re just saying that to calm me.”
“Don’t you be ridiculous now! You know how serious I am when it comes to this theme.”
“Really? Oh Mac you don’t know how happy I am to hear that now.”
She leaned over the small table, lifted Mac’s chin and soflty kissed him on his lips.
“Chrm…chrm.” The waiter piped up. “Do you wish a dessert?”
“Sure. I’d be dying for a good chocolate cake now.”
“And what about your husband?”
“Erm…well, I also take one.”
“Ok. Right away.”
“He also thought I was you husband.” Mac whispered. “It is obvious. Especially now.”
“So why hide anymore.” Stella chuckled and started to kiss him over and over again until their chocolate cake arrived.”
“Thank you.”

After having eaten Mac and Stella were standing outside the building and thinking what to do now.
“Hmm you know, what movie do you exactly want to watch?”
“Well there’s this action film with a lot of scenes referring to our job and, I think, a kitschy love movie…with…erm...well doesn’t matter anyway...”
“The love movie.”
“Are you serious?” Mac asked surprised.
“You bet. Let’s go.”
 
AnJ.. What a :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup: chapter! :D Both of them reading each other's mind. :adore::adore: OMGITZ~!!! Kissing him over and over again :drool:? :lol::lol::lol: That cracked me up. If i get to see that in the real show, I would be melting and fainting. :drool::drool::drool:
 
It's been a long time that I updated this. Got a lot of work to do in school and stuff....Hope you still like it...:

I’m so not going to tell you that..”
“Why...I mean…Never mind.”
“I agree with ya let’s just watch the movie, right?”
“Sure.” She said and leant against Mac‘s shoulder. She was so exhausted from the stresses and strains from the last days, that she instantly fell asleep and completely missed the movie.
When it was finished Mac had to wake her…
“Stella…Stella wake up…” He whispered into her ear.
“What is it? Mac? Where the heck am I?”
“Don’t you remember?” Mac chuckled. “We went in the cinema together…to watch ’15 minutes’.”
“Oh right…I must’ve fallen asleep. Sorry ‘bout that. So how was the movie?”
“It was awesome. You know it was about this police officer, I think he was called Eddie. He and a friend from the FDNY had to catch two gangsters…”
“Ok…ok got it. I see you liked it, but haven’t we actually planned to go and watch ‘Notting Hill’?”
“Oh we did…but they kinda messed it up. Now come on. Time to get going…”
----
Standing outside the cinema Stella asked:
“ Wanna share a cab.”
“Always Miss Bonasera…”
“Aww look Mac! It’s snowing…Isn’t that romantic?”
“Oh it is. Come here.” He said wrapping his arms around her waist and kissed her. “I’m so happy how things turned out between us. I couldn’t have with denying our love any longer.”
“Your right, Mac…It was kinda horrorful to always pretend that there’s nothing. And the team was always right…”
“Oh yeah. I won’t imagine their faces…”
“Especially Danny and Flack. The will go all crazy about it…I really don’t want ti imagine how they’ll when they realize that they were always right…”
“Oh you’re forgetting Adam…”
“Huh? Why’s that?”
“Stella, hun, are you blind. He’s a crush on you…oh gosh…”
“Really? I see him as my little brother…”
“You better do!”
“Oh yeah forgot about that. Look we’re already at my apartment. Why don’t come in, we can have a drink or two, if you want…”
“Sure”

“Would you tell me, why you were crying earlier this day?”
“Well, I actually didn’t want to bother you with that, but okay…let’s see. So Tom Mala called me yesterday. You know he’s Frankie’s brother…”
“Yeah I didn’t forget him. Hey Stella you should know by now that you’re never bothering me with anything…” Leaning onto Mac’s chest Stella continued: “Well, he said he’d do anything to make me pay for killing Frankie…I know, he said he’d changed and stuff. But he only pretended to. I also know that I don’t have the tiniest reason to be afraid, and yes I also know that you’re always there for me. I just…. I thought I’d be over with it. You know it starts getting boring…always the same thing. And I know that I’m tough and that I’m able of handling a lot…but that’s just to much for me…”
“Hey…don’t you start crying now. You don’t have to feel bad for not being the tough detective all the time. I do understand you. Claire’s death will always be a sensitive issue for me. But I got over it, with you help. And please I don’t want you to fell bad for anything…”
Sitting up Stella said:
“Just telling me that made me feel lots better, thank you…you always know how to make me happy again….”
“Oh I do, I also know how to make you even happier….”
“You do?” But she couldn’t finish speaking, she found herself back passionately kissing Mac…”Oh Mac...I didn’t know you from that side…” Stella said giggling.
“What do think about going to Christmas party tomorrow?”
“Oh what a great idea…I’m looking so forward to their faces…”
“Yeah especially when they see you in your totally stunning dress…”
*ring* *ring*
“Dammit”, stupid cell phone. Mac yelled. “Taylor…ok mhmm..I’m there in no time.”
“What is it.”
“Got a homicide. I’m on call-duty tonight…”
“Oh..need my help? No no…it appears to be an open and shut case anyway…”
“Ok…” Stella replied. “ You better get going now…”
“See you tomorrow morning” He said kissing her good-bye.

Kissing in the snow, how romantic! :drool: :adore: I bet the snow around them became water. :lol: :lol: Nice update, Anj! :lol:
 
Aaaawwwwww the kiss was so sweet. And the kiss in the snow made me very nostalgic for one of my favorite kissing scenes ever in any medium. The Mimi-Roger kiss in RENT. Sooo awesome. :) I'm not sure why it reminded me so much of it but it did. :) Awesome job.
 
Thanks for the nice comments ;).
I had few X-mas arrangments to do so the update is a little late:
___________________________________
“Morning, Mac” Stella greeted Mac walking in his office.
She cut her plan to kiss Mac out when she saw Danny and Flack sitting on Mac’s brown leather sofa, she loved that much.
“Hey, Stella! How are you today?” Flack asked.
“Huh? Why ?”
“Well let’s say you looked a little bit…distracted yesterday..” Danny continued his friend’s thoughts.
“Oh…yeah…no…I’m just fine today.” She replied smiling at Mac. But she didn’t think that her colleagues were that watchful.
“Wait…here’s something going on between you two…these looks.”
Damn they realized it, what to do now.
“Danny, Flack could you two please leave us alone. I have to talk to Stella about our new case…” Mac hastily interrupted the conversation.
“Ok boss, but we know we’re right anyway..” Danny said when they walked out of the office. “Oh man, Flack. I knew it .“ He whispered pushing the doors.

“Ok Stella. Remember me being called to a crime scene yesterday..”
“Yeah sure, but don’t you think we should talk things out with our colleagues first.” Stella asked pointing at the door.
“Yeah…yeah I know. I don’t want it to end like erm well never mind. But this is really important for you.”
“Ok stop it just spit it out!” She claimed. She hated being tantalized…especially when Mac did it.
“Have a seat first. Ok so we hade a female DB last night.” He started and showed her a picture of a woman in the mid-thirties with brown curly hair and tanned skinned. She almost looked like herself.
“Mac what’s this all about?” Stella stammered.
“Just let finish and please don’t freak out. When we got all the traces to the lab we ran the DNA through CODIS here’s the result.” The paper sheet showed the name ‘Tom Mala’.
“You’re kidding me, right. This can’t be happening.” Stella started yelling in despair.
“Hey…hey calm down. We got a call and we were right, he did escape.”
“How? I mean he can’t just walked through open doors…”
She was totally confused and just started crying out of nothing. It was like a deja-vu. They just talked about yesterday and now, it’s all coming back. She was tired of asking for the reason. She knew it. Tom wanted to kill her and she was simply lucky and an other innocent woman had to die instead.
Mac sat beside her on the sofa wrapping his arm around her. He didn’t want to make her cry. But he knew she’d react like this, he had no other choice but to tell her as soon as possible. Now that he did he felt eased on the one hand but on the other he blamed himself for making her cry. Why always his Stella?
The stayed like this for couple minutes and no one talked until Stella said:
“We have to find him. I don’t want anybody else to be killed…”
“Of course we will find him.. I don’t want anybody to hurt you. And that’s why I think you better stay inside a building until we have him.”
"No Mac. I can’t just sit here and do nothing. That’s just not who I am. I have to do something.”

“Just kiss her.” Mac heard Danny yelling across the room. “ We know your secret anyways.” Just when Danny finished his sentence everyone started pushing him to kiss Stella. Now. I front of everybody. Under the mistletoe.
Stella was totally lost in her thought when she suddenly felt Mac kissing her. Him her lover and her best friend.
“So when’s the big party?” Flack asked.
