Unconditionally Forever, Chapter 3: Watching
The trip to the commerce planet had been uneventful. They had bought the supplies they needed, and returned to Moya. Aeryn was still only speaking to him if she absolutely had to. His reply's were just as patchy. He could tell she was still mad at him. Furious even. But every time he looked at her, a grin threatened. For every time he saw the recording in his minds eye. Aeryn became very annoyed at the constant smile on his face when he glanced at her. Something was going on.
((He's keeping something from me...))
When they were back on Moya, John headed strait to his room, to play through the rest of the recording chip. Most of it turned out to be an empty room, with Aeryn coming and going occasionally. Then, near the end of the day, and the tape also, Aeryn entered, removed her clothes, and lay down to sleep. He continued watching as there was a knock on the door, and she pulled the sheet up over her. He watched himself enter the room, the desperate kiss, and the trip to the shower room. When he finished, John sighed deeply. How could he have been do stupid to think that Aeryn would accept him? Mad at himself, he threw the chip across the room, only to have the same DRD that had first given it to him, retrieve it and return it to him.
Grinning, John supplied it with a blank chip, hoping no one had noticed it didn't have one. And he gave it the instructions, "Don't get caught."
It hurried off to what John only hoped was Aeryn's room. He could as least be near her in some way....if not physically.
