Never be forgotten

Prologue

Caprica: Delphi: Kara's apartment - 3 years, 2 months and 17 days Before Cylon Holocaust

Kara cursed as the doorbell rang.

"Oh, frak me. He's early." She sighed to herself, giving the food one last stir before turning away from the simmering pots on the oven.

"Just a second," she screamed as she walked towards the steps leading up to the main door. "Coming!"

She opened the door to find Lee Adama with a beautiful bouquet of flowers in his hands. Even though she was the prepared, the sight of him felt like a punch to her stomach. As his all too blue eyes settled on her, memories from that night almost a year ago floated through her mind. She could almost feel his hot skin against her own. His arm pushing her down into the soft bed and his wet lips moving with hers.

She slightly shook her head to clear the intruding images, before they could make her all hot and bothered.

Lee looked utterly dumbfounded, making a wide smile spread across her face. Either he had not suspected to see her on the other side of the door, or he was desperately trying to remember where the frak he had seen her before. Was it possible he did not remember her? Did not remember that night? The thought both stung and relieved her.

"Hi, I'm Lee."

"You must be Lee… Yeah." They said almost at the same time, both laughing a bit awkwardly while shaking hands as if it was the first time they had ever met. Maybe it is to him, Kara thought to herself with growing unease. Maybe this cozy dinner date with her boyfriend's brother was not such a good idea after all. A brother, which she'd even hocked up with once, but never had had the guts to tell her boyfriend about. Too late to back down now, Kara.

"I'm sorry. I'm Kara. Come on in." She said waving her hand and stepping aside to let him pass. If he did remember her, he seemed set on not acknowledging it. In that case – two could play at that game, she thought to herself with a smile.

"That's very nice. You didn't have to do that." She nodded towards the flowers in his hands. He looked at them like he was surprised to find himself holding a bouquet. "I'll take those and put them in some water." Taking them out of his hand. She knew she was rambling, but she couldn't stop it. She needed to get some distance, and clear her head. Using the flowers as an excuse, she hastily walked down the stairs to the apartment, leaving him to follow. "Zak!" She shouted wishing her boyfriend would hurry up and help her out of the situation.

"Nice place." She heard Lee's voice behind her, and dared a quick look over her shoulder to see if he was following. He was, all the while looking around the small apartment, taking in his surroundings.

"It's a rattrap, but the rent's cheap." She answered, making her way towards the sink with the flowers.

"No, it's -It's... got real charm." He was struggling to find the right words.

"And you're a terrible liar. We should play cards." She turned towards him and smiled.

"I hold my own." He murmured, almost more to himself than to her.

"I'm sure you do." She murmured back, before again raising her voice to call out Zak. To her relief this time he did make his appearance stepping out from their shared bedroom.

"You just get uglier every day." Zak said with a big smile directed towards his older brother. They hug as Kara watched them out of the corner of her eyes while she arranged the flowers.

She could see the love they had for each other. Zak was looking at Lee with a mix of admiration, love and mischief that made Kara's heart clench. She had made the right decision not to tell Zak of her and Lee. No, there was no her and Lee. And if Lee did not remember anything about their previous meeting, she should certainly not be the one to bring it up. She would not get in the middle of the two brothers love for one another.

"I see you've met my better half, and this one's mine." Zak said, as an echo of her own thoughts. She looked sharply at him wondering if she had given any of her thoughts away. Sometimes it's unnerving how easy Zak could read her. But Zak smiled his big goofy smile that she loved, and was just goofing around with his big brother. "Keep your hands off." He said with a pretend warning in his voice.

"And a girlfriend stealer for a brother. Nice!" Kara smiled, making sure not to look at Lee while she said it.

"I never stole his girlfriend." Lee tried weakly to protest, and Kara thought she could her him whisper to Zak "I really hate you." Which Zak took in stride.

"Really bad liar right here." Zak laughed, pointing at Lee.

"Yeah, no, we figured that out already." Kara murmured. Such a bad liar that he couldn't be faking not remembering her if he did. He really does not remember, Kara thought to herself.

"Zak, get the drinks." She said, walking past Lee to kiss Zak on the mouth. She let her lips linger only one second longer to absorb the love she had for this man. To remember what she had now. To push the thought of Lee kissing her out of her mind. She would not think about it again she promised herself. "Dinner's almost ready."

"Yes, sir." Zak smiled fondly at her.
