Previously- Kalel had woke up in the Enterprises medbay, and saw that Kirk was asleep in the chair beside her. McCoy explained how they had gotten out in time as he checked her vitals. McCoy then left after Kirk had woke up. Kirk and Kalel discussed their feelings for each other. They spent most of the day share old tales before Kirk brought up their date. They had both agreed on dinning in Kirk's room and Kalel even agreed to wear a dress. Kalel said that she wanted to spend the morning with McCoy.

Warning- this will be more raunchy than other chapters.

Massive thank you to JediCharlotte for letting me borrow her OC, Lizzy. I highly recommend reading her story called "How to Save a Life." Thank you, you are awesome!

Valentine's Day.

The Enterprise's recreation room was filled with garish red and pink balloons, small chocolates wrapped in bright coloured wrappers were scattered on all of the tables and it was brimming with people either flirting with one another or making out.

In one corner, however, was a group of people not flirting or making out. Kalel, McCoy, Spock, Uhura and little Dax were gathered around a table. McCoy and Kalel were sat opposite each other as they once again played chess. Kalel had convinced McCoy to try 3D chess as she found the original slightly boring, especially when she was playing against McCoy, she knew what he would do.

The majority of her burns had healed now other than a small spot on her neck. McCoy had told her every four hours to put a cream on it to help heal it.

Spock was watching them play intently while Uhura petted Dax, laughing every time McCoy failed to beat her or started whining.

Behind Kalel was a pile of ripped wrapping paper and a small pile of presents. McCoy had gotten her a silver necklace that held a zweihander similar to the one that the angel in her tattoo held. Uhura had made her a number of red Star Fleet tank tops with the sewing machine she had in her room. Spock had given her a collection of books while Sulu gave her one of his retractable swords. Kalel had mounted the sword on the wall in her room. Kirk, however, had yet to give his present.

Kirk arrived in the rec room just in time to see McCoy lose again. He huffed and folded his arms refusing to play again.

"What's the matter Bones? Did you lose? Again." A cheeky smile was on Kirk's face.

"I never win against her." McCoy rose from the chair and moved to sit next to Kalel who was laughing.

Kalel clapped her hands together. "So, whose next for an intellectual ass kicking?"

Kirk took the seat opposite her. "Bring it on."

Their eyes were locked on each other. Kirk didn't really think he would beat her but it was her birthday, so why not play.

"Now Kirk you don't have anything on you that would help you win, do you?" a very cheeky smile spread on her face. Kirk raised an eyebrow in confusion.

"Don't want you cheating like you did the Kobayashi Maru," he laughed before she continued, "Although I do give you credit for using your initiative." She winked at him.

The match between Kirk and Kalel lasted longer than any match she had had with McCoy. But in the end, Kalel won once again. Kirk was stumped as she won with a move he didn't even notice.

"I would like to challenge you Kalel." Spock asked her ever so politely.

"Absolutely Spock. You will be a challenge."

Spock swapped seats with Kirk, a very excitable Dax jumping on Kirk as soon as he sat down. The match took so long. Kalel had to take more chances when playing Spock than she did when she played McCoy or Kirk. With them she could stick with a certain strategy.

"Wow." McCoy looked at the chess board flabbergasted that Spock had beaten Kalel. Kalel looked Spock in his eyes and gave him a respectful nod which he returned.

At that moment Christine Chapel came rushing in, a worried and slightly exasperated look on her face. Her tight bun had random loose strands and her forehead was sweaty from running through the Enterprise's corridors.

"Dr McCoy your favourite person has landed herself in the Medbay...again. You know full well I refuse to tend to Miss Hayes and she would rather have you."

McCoy could feel the heat rising to his face. He could also feel Kalel staring at the back of his head and knew she had the biggest grin in the universe on her face.

"Don't you dare Kalel Cora Johnston." his voice was slow and monotoned. He sighed and rose from his seat before following Christine Chapel back to the Medbay.

Excitement filled Kalel's body. She felt like a giddy child at christmas who had just been given and eternities supply of cookies.

"Sooo, Who's this Miss Hayes and is she nice?" Kalel's attention turned to Kirk knowing that he would probably be the one who would know. Kirk avoided her eyes, chuckling to himself, so Uhura spoke up.

"Lizzy Hayes. You'd like her, she's an engineer and full of energy."

"Ooh already better than the ex wife."

"She's also rather accident prone." Uhura smiled and Kirk laughed.

"Yeah, she burnt me with a plasma torch." He smiled fondly as he remembered his time as a cadet.

"Knowing you, you would have walked up behind her. You don't do that when an engineer has a burning hot torch in their hands."

"I know that now!" They all laughed.

"So are Leo and her..."

Kirk rolled his eyes, a smile plastered to his mouth.

Kalel was back in her room with Uhura and was looking rather worried. Uhura was at the table with her sewing machine that she had brought from her quarters. There were cut up blue shirts on the floor and a pair of black trousers. Kalel began to pace, fiddling with the zweihander necklace as Uhura continued to sow.

"Will you stop pacing, it'll be fine." Uhura didn't look up as she pulled the finished garment from the sewing machine. "Go put that on while I tidy this mess up."

Kalel took the garment and held it in front of her, a smile curled up at the side of her mouth.

"Thank you for this Nyota. I would have gotten a proper dress but we're kind of in space." Kalel hugged Uhura before going to the bathroom to get changed.

As she waited, Uhura picked up the scraps of fabric from the floor putting them in the bin. She grabbed the black heels from near the table and sat on the bed.

Uhura smiled like a proud mother as Kalel re-emerged from the bathroom.

"Kalel, you look beautiful." Uhura gasped at the sight of Kalel in the tight blue dress.

The blue strapless dress hugged her curves becoming looser at her waist so she could move. The edges had a black trim that was made from the trousers. Kalel's deep ruby red hair had been curled and clipped to the side so that it fell down her left shoulder. Her necklace rested just above her cleavage.

Uhura smile grew wider as she passed Kalel the smooth black heels. She had only just put them on when someone knocked at the door. Kalel froze slightly.

"You look great. Go, I'll lock your room." said Uhura putting her hands on Kalel's shoulders calming her, looking in her eyes.

She felt great, it was just nerves. After all, Kalel didn't really do dates. Taking in a deep breath, she walked over to the door and opened it, unable to stop grinning.

Kirk looked up from the flowers he had in his hands and stood still staring at Kalel, his mouth agape.

"Kalel...you look...phenomenal." She blushed.

"You don't look to bad yourself."

Kirk had black trousers and shoes on. His shirt was crystal white and the top two buttons were undone. Over the shirt he wore a black jacket.

Shaking his head slightly, he gave Kalel the flowers before taking her hand. A quick look back at Uhura, who smiled and nodded, Kalel looped her arm with Kirk's feeling elated.

Most of the way to Kirk's room was filled with Kirk saying how stunning Kalel looked and Kalel saying how charming Kirk looked.

In the middle of a conversation a woman in red, who was fiddling with a bandage on her arm, walked straight into Kirk.

"Oof sorry...hey Jim." The woman in red looked up and raised an eyebrow followed by a short giggle, "Where's the ball, stud?"

Kirk let out a small chuckle.

"Lizzy, this is Kalel." Kalel's face lit up.

"Ah so you're this Miss Hayes." Lizzy's eyes widened in confusion, "Hey, I'm Kalel Cora Johnston, more commonly know as Leo's annoying younger cousin."

Kirk sighed and tried to drag Kalel away before she grilled Lizzy.

"Oooh hi! Leo has told me about you and all the fun ways you annoy him."

Kalel pulled herself out of Kirk's grip. He rolled his eyes, sighing but smiling. Kalel turned around and saw Kirk's face.

"Uhura said your an engineer. So am I." she said looking back at Lizzy.

"Nice, so we'll be working together!"

"Yep and we can torment Leo together. But right now I... we have somewhere we need to go. I'll catch you later?"

"You can count on it Kalel." Lizzy gave Kalel a wide smile before continuing down the corridor.

Kirk sighed again. "Is your curiosity satisfied?"

"She is miles better then the ex wife!" Kalel had basically shouted that. They could hear Lizzy chuckling down the corridor.

Kalel linked her arm with Kirk's again and he began to lead them to his room again.

Kirk's room door glided open and they stepped inside. There were scented candles scattered along the tables. The table in the middle was covered with a red cloth. Kirk lead Kalel to the table, pulled out the chair and pushed it in as Kalel sat down.

"You really went all out Jim. I'm impressed." Kalel's olive eyes scanned the room taking in everything, a little overwhelmed at the amount of effort Kirk had actually gone to.

"Well you're worth it."

He handed her a small blue box.

"Happy Birthday."

Kalel's smile grew wider as she carefully opened the box. There was black tissue paper inside. Becoming more intrigued she took out the tissue paper, Kirk watching her face for her reaction. Kalel's jaw dropped as she gently pulled out a glass figurine. It was an intricately carved angel clutching a zweihander.

"Jim! This, is beautiful." She placed the figurine at the centre of the table before rising to kiss Kirk affectionately, "Thank you."

"Now Miss Johnston sit back and relax as I serve dinner." Kirk had a charming smile on his handsome face.

Kirk and Kalel had finished the dinner that Kirk openly admitted that he did not make. They were sat on the sofa. Kirk no longer had his jacket on and Kalel had kicked of her shoes, not really a fan of heels. Unless they were on boots. She was lent against him, her feet curled to the side, his arm around her shoulders pulling her closer. Kalel's head was lent on his chest listening to his steady heart beat.

"I love that sound." Kalel's hand gently rubbed on Kirk's chest, making him smile.

Kalel was so content laying there on Kirk's chest. As was he. Kirk began to rub her shoulder slowly. Kalel raised her head so she could look him in his delightful blue eyes.

"What?" questioned Kirk.

"Just to think...if you and Leo weren't on that planet, Romulus and Remus would be under a tyrannical rule and I... I..." Kirk, whose arm was now wrapped around her back as she faced him, shut her up by kissing her.

"Stop it, Kaly." He rested his forehead against hers.

"Kaly?" She pulled her head away, raising an eyebrow.

"Well, Bones has a nickname for you, why can't I?

"Kaly is, rather girly."

"Ok, I won't call you it." he said, hurt.

"Oh no, do. But when it's just us." Kalel rubbed his cheek with her thumb as he smiled at the fact it was going to be his personal nickname for her.

Kalel gave him a small smile before kissing him. As she attempted to pull away, Kirk held her closer, deepening the kiss.

As the kiss became more passionate, Kirk's hand glided up and down her back, her left hand was stroking his cheek as her right slid inside his shirt. She felt him smile. Kirk's free hand grabbed Kalel's legs pulling them until they rested over his. That free hand then proceeded to slide along her inner thigh.

Kirk's soft hand reached the top of her thigh, Kalel couldn't help but giggle.

"That tickled."

He laughed as his lips re-connected with hers. Kalel's hands grabbed the front of his shirt and pulled him until they were laid flat and placed her right leg in between his and wrapped her left around his waist.

They began to kiss more passionately, Kirk's hand retuning to its stoking motion on her thigh while one of her hands was locked on his head, the other unbuttoning his shirt so she could trace his muscles again.

She broke the kiss.

"Your friend has come out to say hello."

Kirk laughed again before he began to kiss down her neck, avoiding the burn. As he did she arched her back. His hand had traveled a little higher than her thigh, her hand a little lower than his abs. Kirk made his way down her neck and reached the top of her breast when...

Captain Kirk to the Bridge. It's an Emergency.

Sulu's voice echoed, once again, through the Enterprise causing Kirk and Kalel to separate.

"God damn it." cursed Kirk.

"No rest for the wicked huh." laughed Kalel.

-THE END-

It's all over now. Thank you for reading and a big thank you again to JediCharlotte for letting me use Lizzy. This chapter got more intimate then any of the others. Hopefully it's not completely awful. I'm normally the type of person who feels awkward at incredibly explicit stuff, so hopefully I hinted enough at what went on. If enough people want me too, I might do another story. If I have an idea I might do that anyway. ^_^

Also if anyone can draw and wants to draw Kalel please post it some where I can see it and PM me about it. I like to draw and see other peoples drawings.
