When Tom and Rachel woke up, it was 0800.
"I never sleep this late ", Tom commented.
"You needed it", Rachel told him.
They were getting dressed and Rachel remembered she had no shirt since Tom ripped it.
"If someone wouldn't have got too excited, maybe I would still have a wearable shirt", Rachel teased him.
Tom threw one of his shirts at her. "Just wear this. You know you liked it."
She started blushing. She didn't like it, she loved it. Rachel was so turned on when he ripped her shirt, even if he didn't mean to. She would let him rip off every single one of her shirts, but there wasn't enough supply of them to do that.
Rachel put his shirt on and it smelled like Tom. She started smelling the shirt. She would have to see if maybe he would let her keep it.
Tom saw this and said "You can keep it. It's only fair." He winked at her.
Rachel opened his door. Tom put his hand over hers that was opening the door and closed it.
"I love you", he said and he kissed her. This was the second time he told her he loved her.
"I love you too", she replied back
The two of them went to go get breakfast. They entered the wardoom and some of the crew members started laughing.
Rachel started blushing. She just hoped they didn't hear them.
"Rachel, you forgot to look at your hair. It's an absolute mess. It looks like you had a wild night", Tom whispered in her ear.
Her eyes widened. She did forget to fix her hair. She started to get more embarassed.
Lt. Burk asked, "Dr. Scott, why are you wearing the Captain's shirt?"
By this time, it seemed like all of the crew was in there. Rachel felt like she was going to die of embarrassment.
Lt. Burk continued, "Did the Captain rip your shirt when you were looking at his stubbed toe? He must have had a big boo-boo."
Everyone started laughing. They ALL knew.
By this time, Tom was blushing. "Everyone stop!", he yelled.
Mike walked in and Tom knew everything was about to get much worse. "About time, Chandler, but my god, I thought one of you were going to go through the wall. I started to hear some weird noises like knocking or something. That's when I got Lt. Burk to knock because I thought something might have been wrong. When I saw you weren't opening the door, I knew something wasn't right. A few seconds later, I heard it again, and I thought I heard laughing. That's when I figured out you didn't have a stubbed toe or a boo-boo. Well, I take that back. You might have had a big boo-boo, but Dr. Scott fixed it up real nice because no one saw you two for twelve hours."
Mike couldn't help to hear what went on between Tom and Rachel. His quarters were right across from Tom's. Mike knew they were together, especially when he sent Lt. Burk to look for Dr. Scott and he couldn't find her anywhere.
Mike was happy for his friend, but he had to make fun of him at least a little bit. Well, maybe a whole lot.
"Oh yeah, everyone, pay up. I won the bet. Tom kissed Rachel first. He told me", Mike announced.
There were a few "damns" and whistles that came from the crew.
Tom and Rachel were quite embarrassed by this point. Tom grabbed Rachel's hand and started to leave.
"You haven't ate breakfast yet. Where are you two going? ", Mike asked them.
Tom replied with, "We are leaving. When you and everyone else stops finding this so funny, we will come around. Until then, I don't want to hear anything else about it. Besides, I've got something better to eat." He said this and winked at Rachel. She started blushing even more, if that were possible.
After hearing what Tom said, Mike nearly choked on his coffee.
Tom and Rachel walked back to his quarters.
"Okay, that was awkward", Rachel commented.
"Yeah, I know", Tom replied back, being equally embarrassed and irritated at the same time, but he finally got what he wanted and so did she: each other.
