Authors Note: I think this couple is cute, and I really wanted to see them together. This isn't exactly realistic, but that's what FF is for. Right? Review if you can!!!!
Six months. Six very happy, very long months. This was how long I'd been flirting with my Catey. I knew she secretly enjoyed it, even if we had to keep it strictly professional on deck. I loved her, but I haven't been able to tell her yet. I am going to tell her tonight. I told Connor my plan, and he thinks it's a great idea. I know he's missing Grace, but he's been real strong these last 3 months. He was like a brother to me, and I could tell him anything. My eyes were suddenly drawn to the right. My beautiful girl was walking by. My eyes were always automatically drawn to her. She looked beautiful. She was wearing black pants with long brown boots, and a white flowing top with a brown corset. Her deputy hat was brown with a red tie around it. (Pic of outfit is on my profile!) She looked absolutely gorgeous, but lets be honest. She always does. She walked past me, and looked down at me smiling.
"Hey handsome. How's it going cleaning the cannons? Are you having fun," she asked me. She looked beautiful when she was being sarcastic.
"Yes beautiful, I am having a lot of fun cleaning the cannons. The most disgusting job on deck is all mine!" We loved being sarcastic with each other. It was kinda our thing, and I loved it. And her! Why couldn't I tell her!? Why was it so hard? I love you Cate! Why can I not just say it to her face? Tonight would be the night. I'm going to do it. I don't care if she shoots me down, as long as I tell her.
"Don't get sloppy there Bart. If you still want to go out with me tonight you have to finish your job. You've still got 3 cannons to go. By the way, you better finish, because I'm really excited about our date!" She smiled at me with that little sarcastic grin of hers. I loved it when she did that.
"I'll get right on that Deputy Catey. P.S. meet me at the far end rail on the south side of the ship in two hours." I whispered the last part and she smiled. I hurried up with the cleaning of the cannons. I had to get ready for my date. The word sounded so weird to describe mine and Caty's relationship. It didn't matter I loved her, and tonight I would tell her!
