The Cupid finally shoots

Hey gals, here's part 8.:)

“Good morning Mac, Stella. I rarely see you two come to the lab together.” Hawkes saw Mac and Stella walking into the building.
“Good morning, Hawkes.” Mac and Stella answered at the same time.
“We have breakfast together. We rarely see you when we come to the lab together.” Mac smiled. Stella blushed.
“Yeah. You scored one.” Hawkes winked. Something weird about Stella, she was a little…shy?
They were going into the elevator when Flack ran toward to stop them. “Hey, stop there Mac. We have a case.”
“Hawkes, come with me.” Mac glanced at Stella before he got out. Stella nodded.
Stella went to her office. She took out the unfinished paper works. Then she recalled last night’s sweet memories. Her confession, Mac’s confession, and their kisses and… they went back to their own place. They knew each other too well that they wouldn’t rush anything on their relationship.
Stella’s phone rang. “Bonasera.” It was Detective Angell calling in a case. “I’ll be there in about fifteen minutes.” Stella cut the line and called Danny and Lindsay.
----------------------------------------
A woman, Sara Pinelli, was found dead in her own car at her own garage. There was no sigh of struggle. No obvious trauma on the body. The car engine was running. A plastic pipe was connected to the exhaust-pipe and put into the car. Everything suggested suicide. But the first officer found the garage lock was broken. Detective Angell followed up the case and called Stella.
Stella and Danny processed the body and the car. Stella noticed a puncture wound and a tiny drop of smeared blood behind the right ear. She took photos and swabbed the blood. Danny found a visa receipt and a hotel bar receipt. The name on the visa receipt was not the vic. It was a Josh Bank.
Lindsay dusted the garage door for fingerprints and picked up traces from the lock. She also found some high heel prints.
The body was packed and send to the ME office. The car was towed to the lab for further process. The CSIs were about to leave when Stella’s phone rang. She answered and smiled sweetly.
“New boy friend?” Danny asked Lindsay.
“Why ask me?” Lindsay glared at him.
“Well, I thought you two might have some girls talk.” Danny shrugged.
“We didn’t. It was normal if she has a boy friend. She’s such a beautiful woman. Don’t be nosy, Messer.”
“I just cared about her. She had bad lucks on boy friends, you know. I don’t want her to get hurt again.” Danny said sincerely.
“Yeah. But she can take care of herself. Sometimes, there’s something we can’t help no matter how much we want to.” Lindsay sighed.
Stella finished the call and came to join them. “Guys, you take the evidence to the lab first. I’ll be back in about an hour.”
“No problem.” Danny said.
----------------------------------------
Stella met Mac at a small restaurant. She kissed him before she went to her seat.
“I’ve ordered some sandwiches and black coffee for you. You want anything else?” Mac said.
“That’s enough. Thank you, Mac.” Stella gave him a bright smile. “Did Hawkes ask you anything else?”
“No. Why?”
“Well, I think Danny and Lindsay were making some wild guesses. They think I have a new boy friend.”
“You do have a new boy friend. Don’t you?” Mac grinned.
“You’re not new at all.” Stella made a face.
“Yeah. But I was promoted from boy friend to BOY FRIEND” Mac took Stella’s hand and planted a kiss on it. “Relax, Stella. We have nothing to hide.”
“Everyone knows you don’t encourage romantic relationships in the lab. If they knew about you and me…” Stella sighed. “I don’t want them to lose faith in you.”
“I don’t encourage them, but I don’t prohibit them either. We can’t control our feelings as we wish. They would understand.” Mac caressed her hand with his thumb.
They stopped talking when the foods were served.
“Alright, let’s finish our lunch and get back to work.” Stella was relieved. She was happy to know that Mac didn’t mind their relationship to go public. It meant a lot to her.
----------------------------------------
Stella went to the Autopsy. Sid told her that Sara had showered prior to her murder. Although she washed away the traces, Sid found semen inside her and had send it to DNA.
“COD?”
“She was a healthy girl except the puncture wound behind her ear. I believed she was poisoned. I’ve send blood sample to the tox.”
“Thank you, Sid.” Stella went back to the lab.
Danny told her he had followed the visa receipt to find Josh Bank’s address. Lindsay checked up the hotel bar receipt and found Sara used the hotel once a week with a man. Stella decided to pay Josh a visit to confirm if he was the man in the hotel.
Stella and Danny were on their way out when Mac and Hawkes came in.
“Stella, where are you heading?” Mac asked.
“Found this guy Josh Bank, we believed he’s involved. We are going to his place.”
“Josh Bank? Our guy?” Hawkes asked Mac.
“Your guy?” Stella was surprised.
“Where’s the address?” Mac asked Stella. Danny gave him the case file.
“Yeah, it’s the same guy. He fell over a hotel balcony this morning. We didn’t find any proof of foul play. Now our cases are connected, let’s take a look at them again.” They went to Mac’s office.
“Alright, our vics knew each other and might have an intimate relationship. Hawkes, compare Josh Bank’s DNA to the semen's. Danny, compare the prints from both crime scenes to find any match.” Mac was giving orders when a lab tech came in with a tox report. She handed it to Stella.
“Thank you.” Stella said to the tech. She read the report. “The poison used in our case is snake venom.”
“Snake? Wow…” Danny rocked on his heels.
“Snake venom. It’s not common. Let’s check if either vic had connections to it.” Mac said to Stella. When Stella stepped out of the office, a lab tech bumped into her. Mac held her waist from behind. They smiled to each other, Mac held her waist longer than needed. Right behind them, Danny and Hawkes looked at each other with thousand question marks in the head. Mac left with Stella.
“You see what I see?” Danny asked.
“Yeah, I see fires.” Hawkes winked at Danny.
 
"She had bad lucks on boy friends" LMAO! Danny looks down on her!

GOSH! I want to see that scene where Mac held her waist for long enough! :drool::drool: BOOM! They saw what happened :D Thank you for lovely and sweet chapter kikii. :)
 
Thank you.. Mel. Err.. Is that what everyone address you? :) I love yours too! Glad that you are joining the Anti-Fakefireman Campaign lol! *Meh!* at the fireman. :guffaw:
 
Gals, here's the ending of this story. :) Thank you soooooo much for visiting here and your comments. :)

Mac and Stella found Josh had a friend, Bratt Jackson, who owned a special pet shop. They went to the shop the next morning.
There were all kinds of insects and reptiles. Bratt claimed he was on vacation in Miami the last two days and provided photos to support his story.
The CSIs were back to the evidence. DNA reports of two cases matched. Danny found a fingerprint had appeared at both crime scenes. Lindsay found few shoe prints were a size larger than Sara’s. Flack subpoenaed the surveillance tape from the hotel. It showed a woman had got out of elevator on the same floor five minutes before Josh jumped.
Mac and Stella looked deeper into the relationships between the vics. They found Josh, Bratt and Sara’s elder sister, Amber, were schoolmates. They found some photos of Amber. She looked alike to the silhouette of the mysterious woman in the hotel.
Mac called Amber to the precinct to give an official statement. She cried so hard and Stella gave her a glass of water. Stella lifted the fingerprints after Amber left. The prints matched the one they found at both scenes.
Flack and Angell arrested Amber.
In the interrogation room, Amber told Mac and Stella the story with a cold smile. Josh was her boyfriend. She was enraged when she found out her little sister and Josh cheating on her. She knew her friend Bratt had some poisonous snakes at his place. She offered to take care of them when Bratt was on vacation. She knew how to take the venom from snakes because she had seen Bratt did it. Yesterday morning, she broke into Sara’s garage. Pointed a gun to Sara’s head when she injecting the venom. She hurried to the hotel, used the gun to force Josh to jump off the balcony. She went back to Sara’s garage to stage the scene and called the police.
“How did you know?” She asked Stella.
Stella shook her head and left the interrogation room.
“You alright?” Mac put a hand on her back.
“Yeah, I’m good.” Stella took a deep breath and smiled. “So, we’re off the clock now. What you say if I make you some spaghetti for dinner? My place.”
“Sounds great.” Mac looked at his watch. “But I have to finish some paper work first. I’ll be there at seven.”
“Ok. See you.” Stella kissed him on the cheek and left.
----------------------------------------
Mac arrived on time. Stella already set the table.
Mac took off his jacket and went to the kitchen. He held Stella from behind and kissed her. “Smell good.”
“What? Me or the food?” Stella laughed.
“Would you kill me if I said the food? I’m starving.”
“I wouldn’t kill you but you have to eat all the spaghetti.” Stella finished the dressing. They took the food to the table.
Mac took a bite and raised an eye brow. “This is good, Miss Bonasera.”
“Thank you. Mr. Taylor.” Stella was so happy to cook for the man she loved and seeing him enjoy the food.
After dinner, Mac made tea while Stella cleaned the table and washed the dishes.
Stella extended her long legs in the couch with her back leaned on Mac. They were sipping tea, sharing some funny stories.
“You want to dance?” Stella asked.
“Dance? I’m not a good dancer.”
“Come on. Let’s do some exercise to work off the food.” Stella put a music CD into the machine and pulled Mac up.
Stella put her arms around Mac’s waist and rested her head on his chest. They were moving slowly, enjoying the embrace of each other, listening to every breath and every heart beat of each other. Mac brushed a few curly hairs away from her face. Stella looked up. Mac lowered his head to kiss her. It was much more passionate than the last time they kissed.
“I have other ideas to work off the food.” Mac whispered at her neck.
“Mmm…I bet you do.” Stella giggled.
Still kissing her, Mac picked her up and carried her to the bedroom.
----------------------------------------
Mac woke up and found Stella was not in bed. He put on his pants and went to the kitchen. Stella was brewing coffee. She smiled sweetly and came forward. Mac held her at the waist and kissed her. “Did I tell you you’re beautiful? Especially in the morning.”
“Happy to know that.” Stella kissed him back. “It’s your day off today. Why don’t you sleep some more?”
“You know I don’t…”
“Sleep much.” Stella finished for him. “You want coffee?”
“Sure.” He poured himself and Stella some coffee. “I may still come in. You want lunch together?”
“You know our work’s unpredictable. I’ll call you.” Stella turned to the bedroom to get dress. Mac pulled her back.
“What? Already miss me?” Stella put her arms around his waist.
He kissed her and moved toward the bedroom.
“Mac, I have to go to work.” Stella pretended complaining.
Mac didn’t stop but deepened the kiss.
----------------------------------------
Although there was no case in the morning, Stella was still busy with the paper works. And she had to prepare to testify on court in the afternoon.
Lindsay knocked. “Stella, we are going out for lunch, you coming?”
“What? What time is it?” Stella looked at her watch. It was almost one thirty. “Thank you Lindsay, you guys go ahead. I…” She picked up the phone when she was speaking.
“She’s with me.” Stella and Lindsay turned to see Mac outside the door.
“Sorry Mac, I forgot.” Stella blushed because Lindsay looked at them curiously.
Suddenly, Lindsay understood. She pointed to Mac. “The new boy friend? Oh my god! You two finally… ” She was so happy for them.
Stella’s blush was even deeper.
“Calm down, Lindsay.” Mac was smiling.
“OK. OK. I’ll leave you two alone. Congratulations!” Lindsay turned to leave.
“Thank you Mac, I know this is not easy for you.” Stella put a hand on Mac’s cheek.
“Why? To tell people I have a beautiful girlfriend?” He took Stella’s hand and kissed it. “I told you we have nothing to hide. Come on. Still have time for lunch before you go to the court.” Mac was holding Stella’s hand all the time when they left the building.
