Woo! Hope you guys enjoy! I know that it's suppose to be a Kirk love story, but I couldn't help adding a bit of Spock too. Don't worry, it will come soon enough! Btw, the Vulcan girl's name is random, and same with the hotel name. Also, the planet they are on is the Latin word for "opposite". Coincidence? Nope! Anyway, R&R!
The building these lovely ladies led us to were almost a complete replica of the Hawthorne Hotel back on Earth. The main area was crisp and starch; white walls along with futuristic furniture gave it a very modern touch. Jamie and Leona led us to the receptionist desk and said they will be leading us to a magnificent room with spectacular views of the bay. Although, he already had his view standing next to him as they entered the elevator.
My communicator buzzed. "Captain, is everything clear down there?" Uhura asked.
"Everything is fine. In fact," I paused slightly, looking at my crew. "How about we take a bit of a shore leave?"
Spock snapped his face toward mine and gave a quizzical eyebrow. "Captain, we had just recently had a shore leave. It would be illogical to have one again so soon."
"Oh c'mon Spock, live a little! We can all use another break." Bones stated, then whispered to me, "especially having to deal with all this damn logic."
I attempted to repress the laugh but failed. Spock only looked at us curiously and quickly ignored us once again. We had finally reached the floor to our suite and the ladies escorted us in.
"This is actually where all three of us room, but you are welcome to stay for a bit." Jamie said as she walked to the kitchen. "Make yourselves at home."
"Miss...Jamie, you stated that three of you are staying here, yet there is only two of you." Spock questioned. But before Jamie could answer, a tall woman emerged from a room, possibly a bedroom, and made her way into the living room. She had straight, jet black hair that went to her shoulders. Her bangs were cut straight across her face, and could see the pointy tips of her ears peeking out of her hair. Her eyebrows were shaped almost exactly like Spock, and had a very lean body. She was very exquisite indeed.
"Ah yeah Spock, we have a third roommate." Leona said. God she had such a sensuous southern accent. "Her name is T'Mautlan, she is also half human and half Vulcan." T'Mautlan raised her hand in the Vulcan Salute and Spock reciprocated. I glanced at Spock and, even with his stoic and expressionless body, I could sense something from him. Although as quick as it appeared, it vanished once again.
"It seems our Captain decided he would like to take a Shore Leave here, so in my best interest I should find a suitable place for the Enterprise." Spock said to me. I sensed a tension in his voice as he spoke.
"I know of a place for your ship to land, if it is fine for me to assist you?" T'Mautlan asked, her body still perfectly erect. I couldn't help but stare in awe on how similar these two were. But then again, they were each others opposite...
"That would be helpful." Spock turned and headed for the door, T'Mautlan following behind. When they left, the room was awkwardly silent for a couple minutes. All I was thinking about was the odd behavior Spock was showing toward T'Mautlan, and how pretty Leona looked in her uniform.
-Spock POV-
As I let T'Mautlan lead the way, my thoughts came back to my behavior back at the suite. She was a very attractive woman indeed, but the sudden, as you humans would say "nervousness" was highly illogical. It seems I would have to meditate on the matter.
T'Mautlan graciously walked to an open area, resembling an airport of sorts. She briefly spoke to a man in an engineer suit and turned to me. "He stated there is an open lot for your ship to land. He will rent it to you." We stared at each other a bit longer than necessary and felt an odd sensation in my stomach. T'Mautlan spun around and escorted me to the area for the Enterprise.
"This here is where you can station your ship, and it is only a short distance from our suite if your crew ever decides to visit." He saw a glimmer in her eye but could not contemplate on it further since it was gone just as fast.
He was endlessly curious about this woman, and could sense the similarity to one another. Before he could logically assess his thoughts, he already began speaking his question. "Did you grow up on Vulcan?"
Her eyes flickered with a sense of amusement before she spoke. "No, I grew up here however my mother taught me the ways of a Vulcan. I am half human half Vulcan, and switch between both whenever necessary or with certain people." She paused, glancing away for a moment. "I've never really fit in with the others here because of my heritage. And I am always struggling with which side I want to embrace." She sighed and I glanced at her, a hint of sadness in her features. "I don't think anyone could understand."
"You are wrong, for I am also half human and half Vulcan. I struggle with my heritage, and have gotten bullied because of it. There would be no one better to understand your circumstance than I." She turned her gaze to mine, and her eyes pierced through my skin to the depths of my soul. A warmness caressed and swirled in a deep part of my chest. I suddenly had the urge to kiss her. This thought was illogical, yet so powerful. I clenched my fists by my side to attempt to remain under control. There was something about this woman that continuously tested my emotional control. I just wish I could pinpoint what it was. It looks as if this trip will definitely be interesting indeed.
