Jim: Come on Gene! Heather says you have to do it first! Hurry up. Stop slacking...

Gene: Geez... I'm coming. Keep your pants on...

Melfina: This is so exciting! Come on Gene, say it.

Gene: Ok, Mel. Hello, This is Heather's first Outlaw Star fanfic so she couldn't possibly own O/S. So don't sue!

Aisha: Hah! Even I could do a better disclaimer than that.

Gene: Oh yeah? Well you weren't asked to do it so that has to say something.

Heather: Hey! Stop it you two.

Gene: Sorry, but she started it.

Aisha: Did not, you big baby.

Jim: That's ENOUGH! On with the fic.



Melfina laid down in her bed after the long day. Her brain was filled to capacity with thoughts of what had happened today. She closed her eyes and replayed the day in her mind...

*******************Flashback****************************

Melfina woke up and walked to the kitchen as she did every morning but, she was an hour later than normal. She scolded herself as she put on an apron. She'd never been late before. She sniffed the air as she got closer and gasped as she smelled eggs and bacon. She ran, not bothering to tie the apron strings behind her back. Running into the kitchen, her eyes widened when she saw Gene. He was shirtless. His nicely shaped legs were sculpted by the skin tight black pants he was wearing. His hair was sexily unruly. It was enough to make Melfina drool.

"Gene? What are you doing?" Melfina choked out.

"Oh, hi Mel. I woke up early and I was hungry. I thought you'd be up but you weren't. So, I'm cooking. It's not like I can't cook."

"Let me do it." Melfina rushed over to him to take over.

"I'm fine. You just sit and rest."

Gene had smiled at her and led her to a kithen chair. When she'd sat down he'd untied the strings on her apron and placed it on the table in front of her. He went back to cooking, adding more ingredients. Melfina had tried to get up to get plates and silverware, but each time she'd tried to help, Gene would sit her back down, smile, and tell he that he'd get it. Melfina gave up and allowed him to do what he wanted.

Later that day, Melfina tried to clean the dinning room. She was wiping down the table when Gene came in.

"Here Mel, let me do it."

"That's very nice of you Gene, but I can manage."

"Mel, you do enough already, let me help now."

"Fine. Then help."

She handed him a towel and then continued cleaning. She stopped when she felt Gene's breath on her neck. She watched as his hand covered hers and made hers continue the circular motion of cleaning.

Her heart was pounding as she felt his lips brush her nape as he whispered, "You should rest."

Her senses were filled with pleasure and her body tingled. She had barely felt him take the cloth from her hand. She didn't even protest when he took her in his arms and set her on the couch. When she snapped out of her daze she saw Gene had already finished her cleaning. With nothing left to do she went to search for Jim. She found him with Gilliam in the main control room.

"Hello Melfina." Gilliam greeted her as she walked in.

"Oh, hi Mel, is Gene bothering you?" Jim's concerned look made Melfina smile.

"Well, not exactly Jim, but he is worrying me."

"What's wrong."

Melfina looked down at the ground. "He's been unusually helpful today. He was the one who made breakfast this morning. She laughed softly at Jim's shocked look. Then just know he told me to rest and he did my cleaning. I try to help or do it myself and he just tells me to sit or rest. He's acting weird."

Jim said, "I don't know Melfina. That doesn't sound like Gene."

She continued, "And now, I have nothing to do."

"Well Gilliam and I could use some help with this and maybe you could help us."

Melfina smiled and settled down to help them.

*******************End Flashback********************************

Melfina shoke her head and went to sleep. She'd talk to Gene tomorrow...



Melfina: Wow, I hope she finishes soon. I wonder what's up with you Gene.

Gene: Well I admit, I wonder myself.

Aisha: I think Gene's turned soft!

Gene: Shut up.

Jim: Well, I guess we'll just have to wait and see! To be continued...
