Laura Roslin knew of one place that would help her relax: Adama's quarters. They conversation regarding the fleet had grown from meetings on Colonial one in the stiff chairs to meetings over dinner and on couches. Laura looked forward to every meeting with bill regardless. There were never any akward moments anymore, no hurry to fake meetings just to avoid each other. Laura Roslin started calling them dates and William Adama had yet to correct her. Maybe he saw them as dates, too.

"How's the fleet?" Bill asked once Laura had stepped out of her heels and sat on the couch.
"Complaining about working, everybody needs to do something. I feel like they should jump to a Cylon nest and return in a couple days, maybe that'll teach them a lesson," Laura mumbled taking a sip of her tea. Bill smirked and stared into his cup.
"How are you?" Bill asked, not looking up from his cup. Laura was strong, no doubt about it, but Bill could always see past her guard.
"I'm here and breathing," Laura replied with a sigh.
"Good," Bill whispered. The two sat in comfortable silence for a few minutes. Both searching their teacups for something.
"Laura-" Bill started.
"Bill-" Laura interrupted with a shaky laugh. "You go first."
"No, no. Lady's first," Bill said with a charming smile. Laura had such a nice laugh.
"Bill, just go."
Bill stood and Laura followed suit, standing as well. Bill stepped forwards and captured her lips. Just a gentle brush, short and sweet.
Bill pulled away, cupping her chin. Laura's eyes were closed, and slowly a smile spread across the kissed lips.
Maybe it was okay to call it a date.
I thought I would experiment with format and a mix of scenes.
Please review!
