Aww, thanks so much for the pics
Noealonso, they are all really cute, I especially love the first one. :adore: They look deep in conversation, and seem to be truely interested in eachother... :luvlove: The second one is adorable too, it's just one of those cute little moments when she's in his embrace.
The third one, they look hot, especially Melina's dress. :adore: The last one is another really cute one, Gary seems to be telling her something, but the way he has his hand around her waist, is just beyond adorable. He's so protective over her which is totally sweet. :adore: You see Gary and Melina are so comfortable and relaxed around eachother, how easy it would be for the writers to write a romance for them into the show... :adore:
I love those pics, too. I agree with everything you say about Gary and Melina. They are very comfortable and relaxed around each other. The PR people and/or photographers seem to be really big on having shots of Gary and Melina together, and I know they are the two main characters, but I also think the photograph people like pics of them because of the strength of their relationship on the show and their closeness in real life, and see how good they look together. And Gary and Melina always seem so natural in the photos. A lot of the pics seem to be natural moments between the two of them, rather than a pic where they've been told to pose together, and even in pics like that, they
still look natural together and relaxed.
One little Mac/Stella storyline I have in my head is one where Mac gives Stella little gifts that represent their time together. Examples are olive oil (from the scene in Triborough, s1, when they found all that oil in some person's apartment), something from Tiffany's, tickets to a ballet (because Stella likes dancing), a book about Greek gods/goddesses, a rose (like in Sleight Out of Hand) and a Statue of Liberty keyring or something to do with the Statue of Liberty, some Greek wine (ouzo?) and each comes with a little card saying 'I appreciate you too'. Maybe Mac doesn't sign them, but Stella guesses who they are from, and visits Mac in his office or at home, and he admits his feelings for her. Or the last gift comes with an invite 'Meet me at my apartment' and signed 'Mac' so Stella goes and Mac has made a Greek dinner for them, and during dinner or maybe after, he admits how he feels... Drew's gifts were stupid, he didn't know Stella's character and likes at all. Mac, in contrast, would know what to get her.
Or maybe Mac gets her all of things for her birthday, and then offers her dinner...at his place!
I also like the idea of Mac being invited to a Marines reunion for his unit, or a celebration of the Marines' founding date/birthday, or a party in honour of the Beirut bombing, and he asks Stella to go with him. She would wear one of her dresses, and he would wear his formal Marine uniform (the one he has on in the photo in his office - is that a 'dress uniform'). Mac would gape at Stella 'cause she looks so beautiful, and she would gape at him, looking all handsome in his Marine uniform. At the party, Stella would meet Mac's old Marine buddies/commanders, and one of them would say to him 'Your girlfriend/wife's really pretty/really hot/really nice', because they look so much like a couple. Mac and Stella would dance together. When Beirut was mentioned, Stella would squeeze Mac's hand to let him know she's there for him. If the party was out of town Mac and Stella would have to get a hotel together, and maybe because all the Marines are in town there aren't many rooms left, and they have to share one. Or their rooms are right next to each other, and when they get back, Mac kisses Stella on the cheek and says how happy he is she came, and then he kisses her on the lips....:adore:
Sorry, my mind went into overdrive there.
