Here's the new chapter
Chapter 5:
Today is Valentine's Day, a day I’m not so fond of..
When I get to work, I bump into Mac in the elevator, ''Morning, Mac.'' I say with a smile, getting a ‘Good morning’ with a smile back, then I notice something, something's different about him today, can't say what, but it is something. Looking at him, well, maybe staring but I can't help it; I wonder what's up with him? He must have noticed that I was ''looking'' at him because he says ''Everything alright?'' I can feel a blush creeping up in my cheeks ''Yeah, everything's alright, I just, nah … nothing.'' I try to brush it off.
He looks at me, a look that feels like he can read my mind, ''What?'' he asks. Giving him a look back which makes him get a grin on his handsome face, ''It's nothing, really.'' still trying to brush it away, but it looks like Mac Taylor is in a bit of a curious mood today.
He looks at me some more, then the elevator doors open and he steps out, so do I. Walking next to him down the hallway, toward his office, he walks up to his desk, takes off his jacket and sits down in his chair behind his desk, while I sit down in one of the visitor chairs.
''I heard you're getting roses.'' he says. I look at him, ''Yeah.'' I say simply, he's looking back at me, we're looking into each other’s eyes,then he turns his attention to something on his desk; Wait, what was that in his eyes?
''Have you found out who this person is?'' he asks, and he's not looking at me. Looking at him, trying to read his body language, why does it look like he's a little nervous?
''No, it's starting to annoy me a little; this guy doesn't leave a note, nothing to give me a hint, just the roses.'' I say, why does it look like he got a little more relaxed??
He finally looks up and back at me; it is something in his eyes, but what??
I smile at him, ''Thought you would have done everything to figure out who this guy is.'' he says with something in his voice, ''So thought I, but Lindsay told me that I should just relax and see where this will lead.'' I tell him with a little hint of scepticism in my voice, he gives me a smile.
I stand up and look at him, ''Well, think I have to go and start to work, my boss can be really cranky in the morning.'' I say with a grin, waiting for his response, he looks up from the file he was looking at with an eyebrow raised ''Ahh, then you wouldn't want your cranky boss to find you hanging around doing nothing then, would you?'' he also has a grin on his face, I laugh at him and tell him ‘I'll see you later’, then I’m off to my own office.
Something I think of on my way to my office; are there going to be any roses on my desk today? My question will soon get its answer.
Stepping into my office, I walk over to my desk, and no roses. Somehow, I don't know how to react, happy that the guy has stopped sending roses, or sad that the guy has stopped sending them? Or curious about who this guy that sent them was or is?
I get pulled out of my thoughts by my phone, taking the phone and answering it, ''Bonasera.''
''Hi, Stella, it's Flack, we got a crime scene.''
It’s not long before I’m on my way to the crime scene.
After a few hours at the crime scene I’m back in the elevator on my way up to the lab. Danny is in the elevator when I step into it. ''Hi, Stella.'' I hear from Danny.
''Hi Danny, you starting now?'' getting a nod as a response. ''So you got any new roses?'' he asks me with curiosity in his voice. Turning my head towards him, ''Weren't any roses there when I was in my office earlier.''
''Well, maybe the person got held up today, after all it is Valentine's Day.'' he says with a grin. Shaking my head at him I say to him ''Or maybe this guy has stopped sending them.''
The elevator doors open and both Danny and I walk out of the elevator, ''You know it's a guy?'' he ask kinda surprised, ''Yeah, Sid gave me a small hint yesterday.'' I tell him.
I’m walking towards my office, Danny walks next to me. ''I’m guessing this guy just got held up.'' Danny is pretty sure about that, too sure for that matter.
Reaching my office I walk in and stop the minute I step in, ''What did I say? This guy probably got a little held up.'' Turning around to him, '' You know who this guy is that is sending me these roses, don’t you?'' I ask him suspiciously. He grins and shrug his shoulders, turning back to look at the roses or rose on my desk, it's a single red rose.
I decide that can wait, turning back to Danny, to get him to talk, but he's not there. Shouldn't have turned around. I think to myself.
Slowly walking up to the rose, looking at the rose, I notice something white under it, carefully I lift it up and take the white thing up from its place, putting the rose back down, I cautiously open the white thing that looks like a small envelope, and inside lies a small note, taking that out, I read it..
--------------------------------------------
I can't live without you by my side
I can talk to you all day long
It's in you that I confide
You're the reason for my happy song.
________________________________
It's something about the hand writing, it looks familiar, but yet not so familiar.. Looking at the handwriting closer, I sit down in one of the chairs in my office, looking at the handwriting, I take note that it isn't Danny's, Hawkes', Flack's, Adam's or Sid's handwriting. It actually reminds me a little of Mac's handwriting, but at the same time, it doesn't look like Mac's handwriting.
Well I should be happy, got a note from the guy, but I still don't know who it is..
Oh well, at least he left a note for me, though it didn't help too much..
Later the same day:
I’m on my way to the locker room, to get my things, then I’m off. On my way to the locker room I walk past Mac's office, he's not there, it looks kinda deserted, which is kinda weird because Mac usually works later than till 4 p.m., his coat isn't there, maybe he's out on a crime scene? I don't know..
I have this feeling that Mac has been avoiding me today. The only time I've seen him today was this morning.
Maybe I'll call him later and hear if he's alright.
When I walk inside the locker room, I notice Lindsay is there, ''Hi, Lindsay.''
She turns her head towards me and gives me a smile ''Hi, Stella.''
Walking towards my locker I ask her, ''You got any plans today with Danny?''
She smiles and nods, ''Yeah, he told me he's taking me out for dinner and giving me a surprise.''
I was just about to say something more to Lindsay, but I forgot what when I saw a red rose taped to my locker room door. Walking closer to it, I take the rose away from my locker door, at the same time something falls to the ground, kneeling down to see what it is. A small white envelope. I stand up, taking the small envelope with me.
Hearing Lindsay talk to me, I look at her ''From the secret guy?'' she asks me.
''Yeah, looks like it, the guy leaves a note now.'' I say while inspecting the envelope in my hand.
''You got more notes from him?'' she asks with curiosity in her voice..
Smiling at her, I pull out the note I got from the guy earlier and hand it over to her.
Lindsay starts to read it, she gives a small smile. Then when she is done reading it, she looks at me with a big smile ''Aww! This'' lifting the note ''was so sweet!''
I smile at her ''Would have been sweeter if I knew who he was.''
That makes Lindsay give a little laugh, ''Don't worry about it, he's a sweet guy.''
Aww, come on! Does everybody else except me know who this guy is?
''Let me guess, you know who he is, don't you?'' I say with a little hint of annoyance in my voice.
She gives me a simple smile, ''You bet I do!'' she says, now with a grin on her face.
I give her a look that makes her giggle. Shaking my head at her, then I look at the small white envelope in my hand, ''You gonna open it soon?'' I hear from Lindsay, apparently she's curious about what's inside too..
I lay the rose I was holding in my right hand on the bench next to me, then I open the envelope.
Lindsay walks over to me and stops next to me and gives me a sweet smile, which makes me laugh a little.
''You're curious, aren't you?'' I ask with hints of amusement in my voice.
''Oh yeah.'' she tells me, laughing..
After a few moments I've turned my attention to the envelope in my hands. Taking out what's inside it, a note that says:
-----------------------------------
My days are never grey
With your voice ringing in my ear
Because you wipe my every tear
------------------------------------
Hearing an ''Aww.'' from Lindsay, ''That was also sweet.'' she tells me..
Giving her a smile, I can't stop wondering what it means..
''Well, I should get going, I need to get ready, Danny said he'd pick me up around 7 p.m.'' she says while she walks over to her locker and gets her coat.
''See you tomorrow, Lindsay, bye.'' getting a ‘bye’ back from her.
Just before she walks out of the locker room, I call out to her ''One more thing, Lindsay.'' She stops and turns around to look at me. ''Have fun tonight.'' I say with a smile.
She smiles at me ''You too.'' she says with a wink. Then she's off.
I read the new note one more time, then I put it into my purse.
Taking my things I go home.
Stella's Apartment:
I get to my apartment around 5 p.m., I let myself in and put my keys on the small table where I have other small things.
Shrugging off my coat, and hanging it up, then I walk to my bedroom to change into cosy pants and a tank top.
Walking into the kitchen to get something to drink, a few minutes later I’m sitting on the couch watching TV.
I’m sitting and watching some TV-show when a noise from outside, in the hall manages to get my attention. Seeing shadows through the gap under the door, not caring about it so much I keep watching TV.
Ten minutes later I hear a knock on my door and footsteps walking away from the door.
Getting up from the couch I walk over to the door, looking through the peep hole to see no one out there, I open my door a crack, just enough to look out, still seeing no one, and then I notice something on my door, opening my door wide now, to have a closer look at what it could be.
What I find taped to my door makes me poke my head out into the hallway to see if I can see anyone, but it's deserted. Turning my attention back to the thing that is taped to my door, a red rose with a white envelope behind it.
I get a small smile on my face and take the rose and the envelope from the door, closing the door, I open the envelope and take out the note and read it:
----------------------------------
It's with you that I know
I can go on another day
You take me high when I am low
I’m sure you are here to stay.
----------------------------------
After reading it, I notice that there’s more in the envelope, looking inside it I find another note, raising an eyebrow at that I take the second note out of the envelope and look inside it again to see if there’s anything more inside, nope, nothing more inside now.
Turning my attention to the note again.
On the note there’s written a time and the address of a restaurant or a place. There’s a question on the note too, a question if I’m going to meet up there or not..
-------------------------------------
Well I hope you liked it this was the first Valentine's Day part, (it's two parts) in the next part Stella are gonna meet the secret guy

I get pulled out of my thoughts by my phone, taking the phone and answering it, ''Bonasera.''
''Hi, Stella, it's Flack, we got a crime scene.''
It’s not long before I’m on my way to the crime scene.
And the soul afraid of dying
That never learns to live
That never learns to live
After a few hours at the crime scene I’m back in the elevator on my way up to the lab. Danny is in the elevator when I step into it. ''Hi, Stella.'' I hear from Danny.
''Hi Danny, you starting now?'' getting a nod as a response. ''So you got any new roses?'' he asks me with curiosity in his voice. Turning my head towards him, ''Weren't any roses there when I was in my office earlier.''

Thanks Englebarn and SaraBeth18 for the review
well here's the last chapter,
After what both Lindsay and Sid said, they told me the guy was kind, and a sweet guy.
I walk over to my couch with the two notes, sitting down with the notes; I start to ponder on the thought of meeting up or not.
Looking at the clock I notice that it's barely 6 P.M. I still have time to think over the decision I'm going to make...
Getting up from the couch, leaving the two new notes on the table, I walk over to my purse and take the three notes I got earlier today out of my purse. Walking with them in my hands over to my couch again, I sit down again.
Reading through them all, I can't help it but search for similarities in the handwriting on the notes, finding them. It looks like it's the same guy who has written them, I can feel a bit of relief go through my body.
Who is he? Apparently I know him; Lindsay said he's a sweet guy.. Wonder what he looks like? Brushing away the thoughts, I read the notes one more time.
Somehow I can't shake the feeling that it might be Mac who is the secret guy. I can see some similarity in the handwriting, but I'm not sure, because at the same time it doesn't look like his handwriting.. Letting out a breath, I lay the notes on the table again, and watch some more TV.
I'm not sure how long I've been watching TV before my eyes travel over to the notes and the one red rose on my table.
Well, if you are so curious, Bonasera, then just meet up there.. What harm can it be? Can take my gun with me for protection..
Getting a smile on my lips, I bend over and pick the one note with the address up again.
Playing with the thought again, I get up from the couch and walk into my bedroom.
Stopping in front of my wardrobe, I take a glance at the note one more time. It says dress up, so I pick out a dress and head to the shower.
15 minutes later I'm done with my shower and have started to blow-dry my hair.
It's an hour since I taped the rose with the third part of the poem and the note with the address and time to meet up on her door. I wonder if she’s going to meet up??
A big part of me wishes that she's going to meet up. Arriving at my apartment I walk in and lay my coat over the couch, walking into the kitchen to fetch myself a coffee, taking it with me I sit down and read the newspaper I haven't had time to read today.
After reading it I take a glance at my watch, it's 6.15 P.M.
Getting up I put the coffee cup in the sink and head to the shower.
20 minutes later I'm shaved and almost dressed. Putting my shirt on, I button it up, turning around I find the tie I've chosen, I remember Stella telling me that this tie is one of her favourite ones.
Fixing the tie so it’s straight I walk out of my bedroom and over to my little home office.
Getting there I start to write the last part of the poem, putting it in an envelope I take it with me.
A few minutes later I'm on my way out of my apartment. Only one more thing to do before I go to the place, it is to go and get one red rose. So getting to my SUV I drive off to get one red rose.
Looking at the clock, I see that it's almost 6.50 P.M.
Doing the finishing touches on my make-up and hair, I walk out into my living room, and checking if my gun is in my purse, which it is, I head out.
A few minutes later I'm sitting in a taxi. Looking out of the window, in my own thoughts.
I'm a little nervous but also excited to meet this guy. I keep wondering if I've met him before or not...
Somehow, without knowing who he is, I have a feeling that I can't explain.
The taxi comes to a stop, I pay and step out of it and watch the taxi drive away. Taking a deep breath I start to walk toward the place that stood on the note. When I come there I take a look around and see no one except a couple walking away from me.
I feel a little stupid standing here, waiting for a guy that has been sending me roses, and a poem. Wonder if he's going to meet up or leave me hanging? Shaking my head to clear my mind.
All of a sudden I get the feeling that someone is looking at me..
I saw her walk out of the cab, I get starstruck by how beautiful she looks, wearing a black dress, I’m unable to take my eyes away from her. She turns around a little so I have a view of her back, which is bare, the back of the dress drapes down to her lower back.
I watch her walk to the place I wrote on the note. Happy that she meets up..
My eyes linger on her for a little longer, then I step out of my car with the rose and the small envelope in my hand.
Walking across the street, I slowly walk the same way Stella went, trying not to be seen by her.
I stop walking, just for a minute or so, far enough away from her so she can't see me.
I see that she shakes her head, then I start to walk towards her again.
My heart starts to beat faster as I walk closer to her. I'm a few feet away from her when she turns around; doesn't take long before she looks my way.
Still having the feeling that someone is looking at me, turning around I see a guy walking my way with a red rose in his hands.
Not managing to figure out who he is, I just stand still, feeling my heartbeats quickening as the guy comes closer to me.
When I see who the guy is, I get a bit surprised but most of all happy and I can feel butterflies in my stomach. He arrives in front of me giving me a shy smile, ''Hi Stella.'' he says.
God, he looks handsome as always. ''Hi Mac.'' I say sending a little shy smile back to him, still trying to get over the surprise that it was Mac Taylor who has been sending me roses all along.
Here we stand, looking at each other with shy glances. A moment later Mac looks me in the eyes, can't help it but I fall into the look. Somehow in a matter of seconds, the shyness goes away and he gives me one of those Mac Taylor trademark smiles and that makes me smile back at him.
He walks a little closer to me, still with a smile on his face.
''You surprised that I'm the guy that has been sending you the roses?'' he asks with what looks like the beginning of a grin on his face.
I still have a smile on my lips when I answer, ''Yes, a little surprised. I had the feeling that it could be you but I wasn't sure. Oh yeah, and the handwriting was somewhat similar to yours but I wasn't sure, but I started to think that it could be you.'' hearing a little laugh from him, my smile turns into a grin.
''Ahh, I tried to write so you wouldn't figure out that it was me.'' He says with a sly little grin, now it's my turn to laugh a little.
Mac's eyes go down to his hands and what he's holding in his hands, looking back up at me with a shy smile again.
''Umm, this is for you.'' he says, holding out a red rose and an envelope; taking what he's holding out to me, giving him a smile, I open the small white envelope,
Reading the note:
--------------------------
You are very special to me
I love you in every single way
If my heart had a lock, you'd have the key
I love you so much
Happy Valentine's Day!
-------------------------
I for sure can feel the butterflies in my stomach now, after I've read the note. Does he really love me??
Taking my eyes from the note in my hands, I bring my eyes up to meet his.
I can see that he's nervous, I'm not sure what to say.
''I umm, I, I umm, meant what, what, umm.'' he manages to get out. Think it's the first time I've seen Mac Taylor this nervous, so nervous that he starts to stutter, which was cute and made me smile. He lets out a breath and looks at me again with a shy smile.
''Do you mean what you wrote in the note?'' I ask quietly, feeling my heart pick up speed again.
He swallows and looks at me again, then I see something in his eyes, a reflection of my own feelings in his eyes.
He walks closer to me, now we're just a few inches away from each other, looking into each other’s eyes again.
''Yes, I meant what I wrote. I do love you Stella.'' He says with no hesitation in his voice.
I can't believe what I'm hearing from the guy I've loved for so long. He loves me.
Feeling a tear roll down my face, he takes his hand up to my face and uses his thumb to brush away the tear, I look into his eyes, ''I love you too, Mac, and I have for a long time.'' I tell him.
He still has his hand on my face.
There we stand looking into each other’s eyes.
Mac steps a little closer to me, and moves his hand to under my chin, tilting my head towards his, moving his head closer to mine, we share our first kiss, my heart is beating fast as we break the kiss. He looks at me with a smile, and he gets a grin back from me, which makes him laugh.
Wrapping my arms around his neck, while his arms go around my waist.
I lean into him, wanting one more kiss from him, which I get; the kiss is long, sweet and passionate.
Breaking the kiss when the need for oxygen is the case, I put my forehead to Mac's forehead.
A few seconds later, ''Maybe we should get going? I got reservations for us in that restaurant.'' Mac says with a little smile. Nodding in response; he gives me one more kiss then he lets me go and takes my hand as we start to walk towards the restaurant.
While we walk, I all of a sudden start to think about the team, and if they knew it was Mac who was sending me the roses.
Looking at him, I can’t keep myself from asking the question ''Mac?''
He turns his head towards me ''Yes?''
Giving a small sly grin to him, ''Did the team know that you were the guy who was sending the roses to me?'' I ask, raising an eyebrow at the same time.
Hearing a chuckle from him, ''Yeah, I accidentally bumped into Sid in the flower shop once, then another day I bumped into Lindsay, who might have told Danny, and so on.'' He tells me with hints of amusement in his voice.
''Hmm, you don't say. I knew they knew something more.'' I say, and walk closer to Mac, enjoying the moment between us.
All I can say is that Valentine's Day isn't so bad after all.. I got to spend my Valentine's Day with the man I love, Mac Taylor. Couldn't have been better than that..

So i hope you guys like it thanks to all of you who have reviewed and read
I got one question, what do you guys think about that i write a following story to this one??
well here's the last chapter,
Big thanks to chrysalis escapist for betaing and helping me(ff.net) The black bold text in the middle is still a part from the song, The Rose from Westlife.
Here's chapter 6:
The black bold text in the middle is still a part from the song, The Rose from Westlife. Here's chapter 6:
Chapter 6: Valentine's Day, Part Two.
I read the note one more time and wonder if I should meet up or not? After what both Lindsay and Sid said, they told me the guy was kind, and a sweet guy.
I walk over to my couch with the two notes, sitting down with the notes; I start to ponder on the thought of meeting up or not.
Looking at the clock I notice that it's barely 6 P.M. I still have time to think over the decision I'm going to make...
Getting up from the couch, leaving the two new notes on the table, I walk over to my purse and take the three notes I got earlier today out of my purse. Walking with them in my hands over to my couch again, I sit down again.
Reading through them all, I can't help it but search for similarities in the handwriting on the notes, finding them. It looks like it's the same guy who has written them, I can feel a bit of relief go through my body.
Who is he? Apparently I know him; Lindsay said he's a sweet guy.. Wonder what he looks like? Brushing away the thoughts, I read the notes one more time.
Somehow I can't shake the feeling that it might be Mac who is the secret guy. I can see some similarity in the handwriting, but I'm not sure, because at the same time it doesn't look like his handwriting.. Letting out a breath, I lay the notes on the table again, and watch some more TV.
I'm not sure how long I've been watching TV before my eyes travel over to the notes and the one red rose on my table.
Well, if you are so curious, Bonasera, then just meet up there.. What harm can it be? Can take my gun with me for protection..
Getting a smile on my lips, I bend over and pick the one note with the address up again.
Playing with the thought again, I get up from the couch and walk into my bedroom.
And you think that love is only
For the lucky and the strong
For the lucky and the strong
Stopping in front of my wardrobe, I take a glance at the note one more time. It says dress up, so I pick out a dress and head to the shower.
15 minutes later I'm done with my shower and have started to blow-dry my hair.
~'~'~'~ The Rose ~'~'~'~
It's an hour since I taped the rose with the third part of the poem and the note with the address and time to meet up on her door. I wonder if she’s going to meet up??
A big part of me wishes that she's going to meet up. Arriving at my apartment I walk in and lay my coat over the couch, walking into the kitchen to fetch myself a coffee, taking it with me I sit down and read the newspaper I haven't had time to read today.
After reading it I take a glance at my watch, it's 6.15 P.M.
Getting up I put the coffee cup in the sink and head to the shower.
20 minutes later I'm shaved and almost dressed. Putting my shirt on, I button it up, turning around I find the tie I've chosen, I remember Stella telling me that this tie is one of her favourite ones.
Fixing the tie so it’s straight I walk out of my bedroom and over to my little home office.
Getting there I start to write the last part of the poem, putting it in an envelope I take it with me.
A few minutes later I'm on my way out of my apartment. Only one more thing to do before I go to the place, it is to go and get one red rose. So getting to my SUV I drive off to get one red rose.
~'~'~'~ The Rose ~'~'~'~
Looking at the clock, I see that it's almost 6.50 P.M.
Doing the finishing touches on my make-up and hair, I walk out into my living room, and checking if my gun is in my purse, which it is, I head out.
A few minutes later I'm sitting in a taxi. Looking out of the window, in my own thoughts.
I'm a little nervous but also excited to meet this guy. I keep wondering if I've met him before or not...
Somehow, without knowing who he is, I have a feeling that I can't explain.
The taxi comes to a stop, I pay and step out of it and watch the taxi drive away. Taking a deep breath I start to walk toward the place that stood on the note. When I come there I take a look around and see no one except a couple walking away from me.
I feel a little stupid standing here, waiting for a guy that has been sending me roses, and a poem. Wonder if he's going to meet up or leave me hanging? Shaking my head to clear my mind.
All of a sudden I get the feeling that someone is looking at me..
~'~'~'~ The Rose ~'~'~'~
I saw her walk out of the cab, I get starstruck by how beautiful she looks, wearing a black dress, I’m unable to take my eyes away from her. She turns around a little so I have a view of her back, which is bare, the back of the dress drapes down to her lower back.
I watch her walk to the place I wrote on the note. Happy that she meets up..
My eyes linger on her for a little longer, then I step out of my car with the rose and the small envelope in my hand.
Walking across the street, I slowly walk the same way Stella went, trying not to be seen by her.
I stop walking, just for a minute or so, far enough away from her so she can't see me.
I see that she shakes her head, then I start to walk towards her again.

I love this story. I got chill bumps when Mac got out of the taxi and saw Stella. I think you should write another story. I LOVED IT!!!

I really loved it, and I love how Mac was portrayed. I think Stella knew it was him all along but thought it too good to be true, it was nice to see his romantic side. Was this also on fanfiction.net? I think I read it there as well.
