Chapter 7- Okay so in this chapter I have been a little unrealistic but it's what I would have loved to have happened so it's happening ;).

Kate was sat on her rack yet again for probably the first time in her career she didn't want to be there. She couldn't help but feel like she had been robbed of her time with him. She was fed up but happy at the same time, if that were ever possible. She had gotten to kiss the most handsome man she had ever laid her eyes on. She sat there pondering for a moment. Nav walked in a little startled to see Kate just sat in silence..

"Hi X, everything okay?".. She said shoving her bag on her rack.

"Yea, yea, i'm fine.." Fine was her usual word to describe…or hide how she was really feeling.

"Okay.." Nav gave a friendly smile.. She knew Kate well enough now, they had started to become friends.. "Kate, you know if you ever need anyone to talk to I am always here..".

Kate stood, she smiled and placed a hand on Nav's shoulder appreciatively, "Thanks Nikki, I know and the same in return..". Kate then walked to the galley to get herself a brew.

Mike was on the bridge he had started the process for leaving the port. He sat in his chair, his binoculars around his neck tho was the best place to be, in charge of his ship. He just wished he had Kate by his side, if they couldn't be together on shore then he definitely wanted her by his side on the boat. At that thought he heard someone walking up the steps he turned and the sight before him made him smile, "X".. He said as he usually would.

Kate had passed him a flask of tea and smiled.. "Sir".. He looked around the bridge and saw Nav in her usual position, Charge at the back, RO in his usual chair and others started to fill the bridge. She looked at the man sat next to her. "All ready to go sir?.". She just wanted to call him Mike, her Mike.

"Yes, we'll be leaving in 5…". He replied looking at her, his eyes were different, the way he looked at her was different and she liked it.

"What's the situation on the Samaru island?.." Kate asked pealing her eyes away from him.

"The locals are rebelling against the local authorities.. They need help, they haven't got the ammunition or man power to keep defending themselves." Mike had spoken a little louder so the rest of the crew could over hear. Kate nodded and followed any orders she was ordered to do.

"ETA Nav?." Mike asked looking across to her.

"Two hours Sir". Nav looked up from the screen, she had noted a change in the air btu she can't quite put her finger on it.

Mike looked around, "I'll be in my cabin if anyone needs me.." He stated. "X you have the ship".

"I have the ship." Kate repeated. She felt that maybe he was avoiding her. Kate sat in his chair, a million thoughts running through her head. Would he regret her now that they were back to work, him doing what he loved most. Would he pick his career over her?.

They were twenty minutes from the island and X called Mike to the bridge. As he entered she stood up. "We're twenty minutes away, i'll get the rhib and crew ready." Kate spoke as she called across the comms. Mike stopped her before she could go, he whispered. "Kate, be careful.." She smiled and nodded.

The command went well, they had had a meeting with the local authorities and given them assistance with more weapons, the men were no where to be seen, they couldn't do anything. They helped with any repairs that were needed to be done within the village.."Charlie2 this is Xray2..".. "Come in Xray 2 this is Charlie2…" "Sir the hostiles aren't here, we have given the authorities the extra weapons and helped with any work that was necessary but I don't think there is anymore we can do."

"Right X get back to the ship.. Charlie2 out..".

Kate replied and ordered the men back to the rhib to go back to the ship. Mike had informed Navcom and had ordered to patrol the local area incase anything stirred.

Kate got off her gear and headed to the bridge.. "Sir what's our next orders…"

"We're to observe the area and keep note of any disturbances..".

After giving the next co-ordinates it was tome for dinner and once again Mike left Kate in charge of the ship, she was getting a little frustrated with it now. She was brought her dinner and after her shift had finished she decided to confront Mike.

Knocking on his door she had obviously woken him, she hadn't meant to. He opened the door, his desk light was on, he was standing there in his boxers, only. She couldn't help but stare. "X.. Come in.." He said stepping aside and letting her in. She still couldn't take her eyes away from his chest, it was muscular yet warming and welcoming. "Kate, how can I help you?."

"I'm sorry for waking you, I didn't realise you would have been asleep."..

"I wasn't feeling great and thought it would be best.." HE said standing in front of her..

"I just wanted to know why you were ignoring me?.. Well not ignoring me but any time together you would leave and leave me in charge of the ship.." She said a little more focused now.

"Kate that's not it.." He said, huffing a little.. He stepped forward. "I just couldn't cope being so close to you and alone.." He now was standing with her against the door, his arm to the side of the door.

"I just felt like maybe you were regretting us." She said feeling herself warming slightly at how close he now was to her.

"Kate i want you now more than ever.." He said as his head leant in, waiting for her approval.

"I want you Mike.." She said as she pulled him closer and kissed him passionately.

"He replied to her as he pushed his body against her, he wanted her and he was going to have her… now.

He pulled her close to him as he moved them away from the door and against various objects. He reached his bed and layer her gently on it. "Are you sure you want this.." He whispered gently into her ear, he didn't want to damage what they had.

"I want this, I want you.." She said pining for him.

He undone her overalls and took them off, her t-shirt was next, she layer there underneath him in just her underwear, god she was beautiful. "Mike please, take me now.." She was begging. He took off his boxers and her underwear came off. He climbed on top of her and slowly and gently made love to her. He could feel the love between them, as she moaned gently and quietly into his ear he kissed her neck and spoke softly. "I love you Katie.." He meant it, he meant it with all his heart.

She wanted to cry, she loved with with her whole heart and nothing would change that. "I love you Mike..".
