*". .I was just checking out your figure . ." said Dylan.*
I laughed to myself as she ducked into the bathroom. She really doesn't like going to negotiations but I need her there because Tyr is most likely not going to show up. I trust Tyr to be Tyr and Tyr likes to protect his self interests and negotiations just don't fall into that category. Oh well, at least he's making sure that nothing goes wrong up there. I walked out to the balcony and just gazed out at things as I let my mind wander back to Beka. Now there was an enigma wrapped in a riddle. I know I've said that before about her, but it's true. She doesn't reget what happened last night, but she's still frightened by it. She wants me to back off, but she doesn't. Why do I get the feeling that things are going to be a little tense around here for a while? Oh well, maybe I can find the happy medium of keeping her close while creating the ilusion that I've backed off. . . . ahhhhhh . . . I love a challange!
"Is it a good view?" she asked as she came out and wrapped her arms around my waist. I could feel her towel and still dripping hair.
"It's okay," I replied with a small smile.
"What are you looking at?" she asked. I turned around, looked her up and down.
"I was just checking out your figure, I mean figures." I smiled as I walked away and heard her laughter ringing in my ears as I turned on the shower.
*"They just need a little more time to find themselves," said Trance.*
"Come on Cass! We don't have time for this, you gotta get ready," Harper called as he chased Cassie around the room.
"I don't wanna. Beka doesn't make me get dressed before breakfast!" she called as she came to a stop and climbed up onto the bed behind me.
"But we're not on the Andromeda or the Maru Cassie. We have to go out to eat," I explained.
"Really?"
"Yeah, Trance is right and I'm hungry, so let's go!" he called with a smile. I felt a little tug on my sleeve.
"What?"
"I don't want Harper to help me," she whispered.
"Then who?"
"You."
"Okay," I said as I got off the bed. She slid off and took my hand. "Sorry Harper," I said as I took the clothes from him. "We'll be right back." A few minutes later, we were ready and waiting for Beka and Dylan. They were all smiling when they came out and Beka's got even larger as Cassie went running over to her and started gushing about how much she had missed her and all the fun we had had.
I smiled as Dylan wrapped an arm around Beka's waist but Harper ruined the moment by gushing about the fact that he "WAS the exalted love God from the planet Earth!" I smiled and held him back.
"What?" he asked.
"Look." We watched as Dylan kept his arm around Beka's waist and she kinda leaned into him with Cassie on her hip.
"We make some pretty good couples huh Trance?"
"Not couples Harper," I said as we started walking.
"Then what?"
"Families. They just need a little more time to find themselves."
