Okay I didn't relize that I didn't put this up last week so here it is. And no I can't make my chapters any shorter. I'm working on making them longer.

10 Still in Love

Leala paused, was he really here? Would he remember her? Would he still have feelings for her? Had he ever had feelings for her?

"Leala calm down," Corwin said putting his arm around her shoulders. "Hey Beka where'd you say the Maru was?"

"Shuttle bay two," the woman Corwin had called Beka answered.

"Right lead on," Corwin replied. "Come on Leala," he led her after Beka as the other woman, Rommie, followed them.

A few minutes later they entered a patched up ship and Corwin pushed her down on a bar stool.

"Do you still have drinks on here or do I need to go get that weak stuff they serve in Ten-Forward?"

"Don't worry," Beka reached up and pulled a bottle and four glasses out of a locker. She filled the glasses and passed one to Leala, Rommie, and Corwin taking the last for herself. "So what's this about Harper?"

"I-I knew him back on Earth," Leala managed to whisper staring at her glass.

"It's all right Le," Corwin said quietly, "just talk to him."

"Are you Leala Pavon?" Rommie asked.

"Yeah."

"Harper's mentioned you several times in his personal logs."

"What if he doesn't even remember me now?"

"He does, trust me," Beka answered.

"He hasn't forgotten you," Rommie said.

Someone placed a hand on her shoulder.

"What if he never…" Leala trailed off unable to finish her thought.

"Just talk to him," someone said, she wasn't really sure who.

"Hey Beka have you," Leala started and turned to see a man who was unmistakably Harper standing in the doorway. Whatever he was about to say was lost as their eyes met. "Leala," he whispered. His eyes filled with several different emotions. His surfboard slipped from his grip and crashed to the deck, "Leala."

Everyone else seemed to disappear as they stared at each other. Then someone pushed Harper and he stumbled toward her. Leala blinked and noticed that she was standing next the bar clutching her glass. "Um…hi Sea-Harper."

"Um…hi Le-Leala," Harper stammered blushing as he stopped in front of her.

There was a snicker and they both jumped looking around to see Beka, Corwin, and Rommie standing in the doorway.

"Hey Harper, I've got plans for tonight. Put up your surfboard and you can have the Maru," Beka said before leading Corwin and Rommie off the Maru.

"I guess I'd better put that up," Harper muttered a few seconds later.

Leala put her hand on his arm, "Shy, I-don't-know-if-you-ever-really-had-feelings-for-me-but-," she started in a rush.

"Le," Harper interrupted now facing her and placing one finger on her lips. He continued in a whisper, "You don't need to say all that. I do still have feelings for you that have only grown stronger."

After a few seconds Harper slid his hand around the back of Leala's neck and pulled her close to him. His lips gently pressed against hers. Leala snaked an arm around his waist deepening the kiss.
