Disclaimer in chapter 1.
Thanks to Mockingbird1 for the review unfortunately this chapter won't be long, but I'm working on it!
Lt. Hepburn belongs to me because I couldn't think of anybody else that was not married and Lina would be attracted too.
From the Battlefield to the Bridge
Chapter 4
A Little Flirt
Lina leaned back in her chair rubbing her eyes, she had been pouring over peace treaties for hours hoping to find a solution that could work for 21st century Earth.
"How's it going?" Asked Lt. Hepburn whose station was right next to her.
"Not good." She complained pulling up yet another peace treaty. Lt. Hepburn looked back at his station then over at Princess Lina.
"How about a coffee break?" He suggested. Lina smiled twisting a lock of her hair around her finger.
"Tempting but…"
"Come on you can't spend your entire week pouring over computer files, lets take a little break."
"Alright I guess I can spare an hour."
The two left for ten forward, when they entered Guinan smiled.
"What can I get you two?" She asked.
"Black coffee with two lumps of sugar." He turned to Lina.
"Vanilla frappuccino." Lina order gazing back at Lt. Hepburn. "So tell me about yourself."
"Well I grew up on a small farm in Kansas, and I enrolled in the academy after high school. I lived a pretty boring life my parents were both farmers and I had two brothers and two sisters who all decided to continue farming, but me I wanted to explore space so here I am. A lieutenant in engineering." He laid out.
"Sounds fascinating what is your ethnicity?"
"I was never very curious, but I believe my dad mentioned that I'm Dutch, Polish and Italian." He shrugged, his generation was never concerned with race. Princess Lina went on to explain about herself, before they knew three hours had passed.
"Oh my gosh I got to get back to work." Princess Lina admitted after thanking Guinan for the coffee.
"Wait how about dinner tomorrow night?" Lt. Hepburn offered.
"I'd like that." Lina smiled.
"Seven o'clock here?"
"See you then." With that Lina left.
"What a little flirt." Guinan chuckled.
I know sorry it was short, but I promise longer, more romance and more to the plot soon! Please review!!
