Mac was laughing as Janet went to warm up her piece of pizza in the microwave oven, that was fastened to the wall next to the vending machine in the corner. Shit, if he had known that it was going to be all this trouble to get a pizza up here, he would have jumped on his bike and went to pick it up. When the guy arrived downstairs with the pizza, security had detained him twenty-five minutes. They finally went downstairs and got the pizza themselves.

"That poor delivery guy, he looked like he was about to piss his pants," Mac took a bite of his cold pizza.

It felt good to laugh. He hadn't had a hell of a lot to laugh about in the last couple of days.

Janet tried to take her pizza out of the oven, but it was too hot and she burnt her fingers. "Shit. It's hot and limp."

This made Mac laugh again. "Hot and limp, don't think I've ever heard those two words put together in a sentence before."

She gave him a sassy look. "Ha, ha. Very funny. Sure you don't want me to heat up your piece?"

Mac raised an eyebrow. "Heat my piece if you want, baby, but I don't want it to be limp."

Again, Janet gave him a look, and then grinned.

"What a dirty mind."

She brought the pizza over and sat down beside him.

She took a bite and then began to laugh.

"What? What?" Mac asked her.

Janet looked at him. "Just can't help thinking about the look on that kid's face when that burly security guy announced he was going to frisk him."

Mac nodded with a smile. "Poor kid."

She ate in silence for a while. "It was nice of you to give him your autograph." Janet finished her pizza and wiped her hands.

"The least I could do. I should have known they'd give the guy a hard time. I know it's important to have security, but shit...sometimes, I get so fed up with it. It's annoying."

"The price of fame. There have been some scary times. Remember that guy with the Mohawk who climbed up on the stage at that concert in Ohio?"

"Ya, you got a good memory, woman, that was years ago when I was still in my prime," he teased.

She grinned. "I remember your prime. It was nice."

Mac sobered. He looked into those beautiful blue eyes and wondered how he ever let her walk away.

She looked back for a minute, and then it got to be too much. She tore her gaze away.

"It wouldn't have worked," she said softly, keeping her hands busy by unnecessarily moving around this and that.

Mac reached over and placed his hand over one of hers.

She looked at him again.

"Why wouldn't it have?" he asked.

"You know why." She cleared her throat.

He removed his hand. "Drake," he said.

She didn't reply. She stood up and folded the pizza box in half.

"How long are you going to love someone who doesn't love you in the same way?" Mac asked her.
