Playing on Teams

"No! No! Harmon Patrick Rabb, Jr.! Don't you dare point that gun at me!" Mac shouts.
"And why shouldn't I, Sarah Elizabeth Mackenzie?" Harm moves five feet closer to Mac.
"Because we had rules! And because you're mine!"
"I'm what?"
Mac turns red. "Um. Er ... I meant you're on my side."
Harm shoots his flyboy smile at her.
"That's what I thought. Now - I have absolutely no idea where Bud, the Admiral, and AJ are, and where did our little ally go?"
Harm and Mac look around, searching for Jimmy.
"Hmm. Oh well. Probably went to Harriet. Keep your eyes open, Ninja Girl!"
"I keep my eyes wide open all the time, Stick Boy."
Harm sees Bud and goes for it.
Mac mutter to herself, "And I like what I see."
XOXOXO
Harm, Mac, Bud, the Admiral, AJ, and Jimmy enter the house, all soaking wet. Harriet immediately objects, "Oh no! You all are staying outside and are going to dry in the sun!" She quickly adds, "With all due respect, sir."
The Admiral chuckles and re-enters the garden. AJ and Jimmy start playing on the swings. Bud goes over to help Jimmy.
"Next time, I am most certainly not going to be on your team," Mac tells Harm.
"Oh, yes, you are."
"Oh? You've got a way to keep me on your side, Squid?"
"Yes, Jarhead."
Mac leans back in the chair she's sitting in, waiting for his way to convince her. Harm carefully leans over and softly pulls her in for a kiss. Mac does not object in any way. Why should she? After a short while, Harm pulls away and goes to talk to the Admiral.
"Hmm. If he keeps doing that, then, yes, I will stay on his side."
"If who keeps doing what?"
Mac jumps. Harriet is standing behind her chair.
"Mac, what? Mac?!"
"Harriet, I'll tell you. But INSIDE."
XOXOXO
"He did NOT!"
"Yes, he did."
"Oh my gosh, Mac, what are you two still doing here?" Harriet is squealing with excitement. Mac, on the other hand, is asking herself why for Pete's sake she told Harriet.
"Umm. It's not like that means we're dating or anything. He kissed me. That's all, Harriet."
"Tell me all the details!"
"Harriet ..."
"Oh, come on, Mac!"
"Alright ..."
XOXOXO
"Mac, what's wrong?" asks Harm. "Sweetie, please, just tell me. Is it something I did?"
Mac shakes her head.
"Then what is it?"
"It's just that, I find myself alone when each day is through. And I don't think I'll ever not feel that way."
"Mac, look at me." Harm caresses her cheek. "As sure as night is dark and day is light, I care about you. As sure as Harriet is hyperactive and Bud is clumsy, I'll always be there for you. As sure as the sun rises in the East and there are people on this earth, I feel for you. As sure as it's the 18th of July and it's been seven years since we met and two since we fell in love, I want the share the rest of my life with you." Harm dropped to one knee.
"Mac, I love you with all my heart. Please, will you do me the honor of becoming my wife?"
"Yes. Yes. Yes!" Their lips met for a passionate kiss.
"Harm, I don't know how our future will be, only the gods know that, but, you know what?"
"What?"
"I don't care. Because you'll be in it together with me."
~Fin.
