Chapter 7.
"Mike, Baby happy to see me?" Ursula said as she approached, "Ursula what do you want because I have somewhere to be" mike said. Nikki walks onto the Gangway but stops halfway when she spots Mike with Ursula who was not welcome around Hammersly because of what happened when they brought her back from an island she was working on. "Mike, I want you back I miss you" Ursula said "Ursula we never were meant to be an-"Mike says as Ursula forces herself on him.
Nikki saw Mike kiss Ursula and immediately rushed to tell Kate because she didn't want Kate to be hurt again. Mike pushed Ursula off him only to find that Nikki saw him kiss Ursula and she was leaving to tell Kate. "Ursula I don't love you anymore, now you've probably stuffed up my relationship with the lady that I do love" mike said rushing to his car. "Mike I'm coming with you" Ursula said running after mike, but he drove off before she could catch him.
The door bell rang, Kate got up from the lounge expecting to see mike she smiled to herself, she really missed him and couldn't get wait to be in his arms again. She got a shock when she opened the door to find Nikki with a frown on her face. "Nikki, what's the matter? Kate said with a concerned look on her face, Nikki walked down the hall and into the lounge room. "Kate Mike's cheating on you" Nikki said as she sat down, "what with who?" Kate asked as she tried to believe what she had just heard.
Tears began to form in Nikki's eyes she didn't want to see her friend hurt again but she needs to tell her, "I saw him kiss Ursula Morrell as I walked off Hammersly" Nikki said. Tears also began to form in Kate's eyes; she couldn't believe what she was hearing. Mike had told her he wouldn't hurt her ever again, Kate started to cry into Nikki's lap. A few minutes later Kate hears the doorbell ring, she gets up and goes to look through the eyehole the person who was at the door is Mike and he has flowers which she loves. But if what Nikki was saying is true then she didn't want to see him.
Kate walks Back into the lounge room "it's mike, what do I do?" Kate asks Nikki, "well if he is cheating on you, then you just ignore him till he goes away" Nikki tells her. "I don't believe you, I'm going to ask him myself" says Kate as she walks back to the door. She opens the door but doesn't let him in, "are you seeing someone else as well as me?" Kate asks Mike before she lets him in. "No why would you think such a thing, I love you like it says on your necklace that I do so" Mike replies. "Then why did Nikki see you kissing Ursula Morrell this afternoon?" Kate asks.
Mike sighs "she forced herself onto Me I kept telling her I was taken but she wouldn't listen, shortly after nikki saw me I pushed her off me and ran to the taxi to come here" he explained. Kate smiled because she knew that Mike wouldn't cheat on her and she knew that Ursula would force herself onto Mike. Kate opens the door and let's mike in.
Mike walks down the hall and into the lounge room, "Nikki what you saw was not what you thought, Ursula forced herself onto me and after you had left I pushed her away and ran to the Taxi to come here" mike explained. Nikki nodded and told Kate she would leave her to be with Mike and she would see her later. "Bye" Kate said as she led Nikki to the door. Mike wrapped his arms around her shoulders and led Kate to the Lounge. Mike kisses Kate's jaw line and down her neck, "I've missed you" Mike said kissing Kate's shoulder "you were only gone a day" Kate replied "yeah but it wasn't the same knowing that I had a beautiful Girl friend sitting at home and I'm out at sea" Mike complains. "Yes well I missed you, and wanted to be out with you" Kate replied.
*two weeks later*
Kate walked back on to Hammersly, she was glad to be back she had really missed the open waters. Nikki walked into the cabin she shared with Kate "welcome back" said Nikki said hugging Kate. "It's good to be back, Trust me" Kate said after hugging Nikki. Kate walked up to the bridge as she had first watch after they were out at sea. They were to head to a foreign port to get some minor repairs done, this was only going to be a short trip out to sea because Hammersly needed the repairs but in a few days after they were to get back to port they would go out on a 2 weeks Patrol. Only Mike was on the bridge when Kate walked up, "all settled in are we?" mike asked before going in for a kiss. Kate rejected his kiss "mike we are on Board we can't do that not here" Kate said "yeah but no one's here, so please" mike asked but Kate refused.
Mike went down to his cabin and sat in his chair, Kate sat in the captain's chair on the bridge, gazing out to sea. Soon enough Kate's watch was over and she headed down to Mikes cabin. Kate knocked on the door, "come in" she heard mike say. Mike looked up to see Kate standing watching him, Kate closes the door and walks over to Mike. She wraps her arms around his neck and starts kissing his neck, she knew how he liked this. Mike gets up and leans Kate and kisses her, Kate deepens the kiss.
Their fun was interrupted by RO's voice coming over the speakers "XO and CO to the bridge at the rush" RO said. Kate walked up on the bridge, Mike's hair ruffled and Kate looked slightly flushed. "What's the problem RO" Mike said whilst Kate checked the monitor, "Sir we have arrived at port where Hammersly is being repaired" said RO. Mike nodded "ah sir, may we have some shore leave whilst Hammersly is being repaired" Kate asked, Mike smiled "yes all crew may, except for those who have watch" mike replied.
The boys went to play football, because it was their favourite thing to do on shore when in a foreign port. The girls however went to sunbake and catch up on the gossip between each of their relationships.
"So ET?" Kate asked Nikki "
"That's not what it looks like from here" Rebecca Piped in.
"Well, I want it to go a little quicker but I'll do what ET wants because I can't live without him" nikki admitted.
"Anyway what about you and spider" Kate asked Bec
"well we may have a little relationship but it's nothing major" Bec replied
"do you feel like he's the one for you?" Nikki asks
"yeah of course I do, don't you feel the same with ET?" Bec replied.
"So how's the relationship with the CO going?" Nikki asks
"well, it's just going perfectly I feel that he's definitely the one for me" Kate replies
"How cute, he got you a necklace which says Mike and Kate forever" Bec says noticing Kate's necklace.
"Yeah it was the first gift he got me but he also has one which says Kate and Mike forever" Kate replies, gazing over to the man she loved.
Meanwhile over at the football game, 2Dads runs and dives as he scores a try "yeah, thats right I'm the best" he yells as he brushes the sand off his trousers.
"Well done, 2Dads, nice work" Mike said walking over to the ball
"thanks, sir" says 2Dads smiling.
"So how about you and the X?" Buffer asks as he steals the ball off Mike
"well, let's just say we're close friends" mike said with a embarrassed look on his face
"It looks a little closer than friends" ET says running up to Buffer and Mike
"well maybe but we need to keep it quiet" Mike said.
"How about you and Nav, ET?" Spider asks
"well we're taking it slow" ET replied.
"How about Bomber and you, Spider?" Mike asks
"We're taking it steady, but to be truthful I can't live without her" Spider replies
the boys look up to see the girls heading towards them.
"Hey" the girls say as they approach the boys, the boy's just smile as they check the girls out. They all looked absolutely heads back to Hammersly and gets back into their overalls and start the journey home.
