“Men!” Stella rubbed at her temples and closed her eyes. So absorbed in her frustrations, she didn’t hear Mac enter and so when she opened her eyes to face the world again, there he was, right in front of her. She flinched and nearly swore. She chose instead to glare at him.

“You okay?” Mac asked.

“Oh, I am just great, Mac. Thanks for asking.” Her voice was laced with sarcasm. “And how are you on this fine morning?”

“What happened?”

“Nothing.”

“Stella-“

“Really, Mac. Nothing happened. That’s just it.” She exhaled and then drew in a ragged breath. “I get it. It’s hard to know at times where one stands in a relationship. What I don’t get is not doing anything about it. Why torture yourself and your partner about it?”

“I-”

“I mean, it can be great not to rush things, but come on! There’s a point where-mph!” Her words fell away when his lips crashed to hers and his arms wrapped around her waist, pulling her to him. It took her a second to respond and then the kiss deepened and she tangled her fingers in his hair.

He pulled back and she glared at him some more. “What did you stop for?”

“I’m sorry,” he teased. “You were saying something before. I interrupted. It was rude of me”

“Yeah?”

He nodded.

“Well I’m done talking. You’d best interrupt me some more.”

A telltale glimmer shone in his eyes. “I wouldn’t want to rush anything”

She groaned.”Oh, shut up, Mac and kiss me already.”

He looked at her silently for a moment and then decided it was better off to obey her. “Yes, ma’am!”

Bwahaha! Love it!
I can so see this happening, it's adorable.

Grr though. Have you heard the news already?

[xfirefly9x.livejournal.com]

XD Thanks!

Yeah. *sad* It's... not gonna be the same.

[odakota-rose.livejournal.com]

*squish*

Yeah.. it seriously surprised me. I didn't realize she was thinking about leaving. D:

[xfirefly9x.livejournal.com]

Same. Though then, I haven't really been following the show that much recently. Fallen behind.. not yet downloaded eps to catch up, etc. Was quite a shock, hearing about her departure. :(

Awesome little fic!

And now it just makes me weep in mourning for Melina's exit from the show. :( :( :(

:BRB in a corner crying:

[krisrussel.livejournal.com]

No!!!!!!!!!! Melina's leaving the show??????
*cries*

[xfirefly9x.livejournal.com]

Yeah.. that she is. :( Apparently all the eps she'll be in have aired already too. :(

[krisrussel.livejournal.com]

No!!!! *cries some more*
I'm gonna miss her so much... especially the dynamic between Stella and Mac. :^(

[xfirefly9x.livejournal.com]

Yeah, me too. :(
I expect it'll sink in soon, next time I watch CSI NY probably, and then there will be tears.

[krisrussel.livejournal.com]

It'll probably be the same for me. :^(
But I wonder how they are going to explain it in the show and if they're gonna show any effects it will have on Mac and the others.
I hope they'll keep it open, so at least she has a chance to return if she wants to.
Did she explain why she wants out?

[xfirefly9x.livejournal.com]

Mm yeah. :(
*hugs*

Was wondering about that. If it was another CSI show I'd guess they'd pass it over quickly, but CSI NY seems more developed with characters and development there, so maybe they'll focus on it more. What I'm wondering more is, as you said, if there will be left open the option for her to return in future.. (I can dream, right? Michael Shanks left SG-1 for a season and then returned, so it has been done before..) I'm guessing since they already aired the last ep she'll be in and I haven't read spoiler posts about her character being killed off that it will be a possibility, but.. I don't know.

I think she got an offer for more time on CSI NY but just turned it down. Ready to leave, I suppose. Which.. I hope means we'll see her in something else at very least.

[krisrussel.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I hope so too, cause it would be kinda stupid to leave a job (especially as an actor) when you have no other offers.

[xfirefly9x.livejournal.com]

Indeed. Unless it's one of those 'want to spend more time with family' departures..

[krisrussel.livejournal.com]

But even then, you'll need money, right?
Or maybe once that money's gone she'll return to the show ;^)

[xfirefly9x.livejournal.com]

lol true. :P
I don't know.. maybe.. there's another option for the monies for her. *shrug* Else, yeah.. She's just had enough of CSI NY and is ready to move on to other shows.

[xfirefly9x.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

Yeah, very sad news. :(
*squish*

[swfc008.livejournal.com]

This made me grin. Despite the bad news. I loved it. It was just right. :)

[xfirefly9x.livejournal.com]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it.

[krisrussel.livejournal.com]
