* I don’t own anything. They all belong to CBS and everyone else who has the rights to CSI NY. Mac and Stella belong to each other. :D

“Wha – You think we’re together?” asked Stella.
“Me, Danny, Lindsay, Sid, Adam, Flack and the whole lab.” stated Hawkes.
“Oh yeah? And what makes you think that I’m sleeping with Mac?” Stella demanded an explanation.
--
Hawkes gave her a big smile and said, “Well, you guys have a lot of sweet moments together, you always hug and kiss and stuff like that and the icing on the cake – the way you look at each other. Man, if you could just see yourselves when you look at each other – priceless!”
Stella was as shocked as ever.
“We actually have an on-going bet in the lab about you guys.” said Hawkes.
“You betted on us?!” Stella was furious.
“Hey, hey. Keep your voice down, Stell. There’s no money involved; it’s just for fun. It’s a bet on when Mac will finally ask you to marry or move in with him.”
--
Stella remained quiet for the remainder of the day.
She silently sat in her office and did her paperwork.
Mac watched her from across the hall. He leaned against the wall and placed his hands in his pockets. He felt 2 pieces of paper and took one in each hand.
- “8:30 pm.” “Your office.” -
He folded the pieces of paper and slipped them back in his pocket.
Stella was watching him from the corner of her eye.
”Where are you going, Mac?” she asked, but couldn’t speak up.
Mac left the spot where he was standing earlier.
As he turned on the corner of the hall, Stella got up from her desk and followed him.
Mac went to the employee lounge and sat on one of the benches to think.
Stella hid behind the lockers and watched him silently.
He pinched the bridge of his nose and exhaled deeply.
He then rubbed his forehead.
”I wonder what’s bothering him…” Stella wanted to ask him if what Peyton said earlier was true but her concern and love for him overpowered her curiosity.
“Stella, I know you’re there.” said Mac in the gentlest tone Stella has ever heard.
She decided to freeze and pretend to not be there. She waited anxiously for Mac to call off his bluff.
“Come on, Stella. Come out, I know you’re there. Don’t make me come and get you.” Mac playfully threatened her.
She looked at her watch; it read 8:19 pm.
“If I come out and talk to him now, it will delay his birthday surprise.”
On that thought, she took out her cell phone and sent a message to Hawkes to be in the employee lounge in 10 minutes with everybody for their surprise party for Mac.
- Message Sent -
She successfully got her message to Hawkes.
As she was about to return her phone in her pocket and come out to face Mac, he surprised her by suddenly appearing in front of her and trapping her between the wall and himself.
He stretched his arm out and put his hand on the wall to completely corner Stella.
“Hey.”
“Mac, you scared the hell out of me.” she teasingly hit Mac’s chest.
“I told you I’d come and get you.” He smiled.
Their faces were mere inches away. He came nearer and was about to kiss her when Stella said, “Mac, we gotta talk.”
She grasped Mac’s arm and pulled him over to the bench and they sat down.
He looked deeply into her eyes and lovingly stared at her.
She realized that he always looked at her this way but she only found out now that he always looked at her in a special way.
“Mac, I heard some disturbing piece of information this morning. Peyton told me that…” she couldn’t bear the fear she held inside when she knew that she was very close to finding out the truth.
“You talked to Peyton?” he innocently asked.
“Yeah. Just this morning. And she told me that…” she felt like she was running out of air; she was afraid of the truth.
“That I was gay?” Mac laughed as he blurted the words out.
“Exactly. Why are you laughing Mac?” Stella was now confused.
