Tell me you love me part 2
Now she had realised the intensity of her feelings comprehension dawned on her that she had no clue what to do about it, how to approach it, it was different with Gabriel they just kind of fell into each other's arms. With Harper she would have to let him know she wanted to change the nature of their relation ship and that would mean discussing her feelings, she didn't really even understand them herself how could she explain them to someone else? This whole relationship thing suddenly seemed too complicated to be worth it. And would this affect the ship and crew, what would Dylan think? Although she had moved on past thoughts of him his opinion still mattered greatly to her, would he approve? Yes this was complicated too complicated for even her star ship sized brain.
Rommie walked into machine shop 17 where Harper was working, he looked up at her "Hey, what, ya want Rom Doll" Rommie thought about this, 'You' her mind told her to say but her lips did not cooperate instead they seemed to say " to see how repairs were going" "oh, good" said Harper "there'll be done in no time." " Good" said Rommie and left. Hmm what was that about thought Harper she didn't need to come in person just to see how repairs are going.
Why can't I just tell him she thought; I'm a warship I never had difficulty with words before. But this was unlike any situation shed ever experienced before her lust for Gabriel and her crush on Dylan those were different like childhood love affairs; this was on another level, more mature, grown up, and yet at the same time she was filled with a childish giddiness when she saw him, and all rational thought left her mind, and just like a child she had difficulty stringing a sentence together. Was this what love did to a person? Did she want to feel like this? No! The rational part of her mind that she had left screamed, you can't function like this, but the rest of her was all to eager to cave into the emotion.
In command a distress signal had been picked up, it was from a slave planet sadly not Earth that had just overthrown the Nietchszans and reclaimed its independence, however the battle was not without cost many lives had been lost, fire now raged on the plants surface, and disease, suffering, starvation , and hypothermia were all more rife than before; the planet badly needed help and Andromeda was glad to give it as was the rest of her crew.
As they neared the planet Rommie continued to think the situation over she couldn't help but think how similar this planet was to Earth and how happy Harper would have been if Earth had been freed, but also she wondered if this was Earth would he leave her? She was sure the answer was yes, freedom for Earth was what he lived for. The thought of Harper leaving saddened her, she could not bear to part with him even before she realised her feelings. When she almost lost him to the Maggog that he hatched inside him she told Dylan that she was closer to Harper than any of her other Engineers, and at that point she realised how much it would hurt to live without him.
A part of Rommie was glad this was not Earth and he would not leave for the pain would be far greater than she had previously imagined now she realised the depth of her feelings, but the rest of her felt selfish for wanting to deny Harper his greatest wish come true.
As the planet came into sensor range Andromeda diverted all her attention to it; it's surface was coved with small fires blazing, and everywhere she looked she could see people dying or those who had already, the rest of the people were in panic running in mass hysteria over the plants surface; in their blind panic some even ran to their deaths straight into a fire or over a cliff. Andromeda diverted her sensors away and she realised a sole tear had slipped down her avatars cheek.
On the planets surface things looked even worse they were indeed surrounded by the dead and dying; Beka had immediately dispatched Harper back to the ship to get extra supplies and immune booster shots for himself. She was afraid every bug on Andromeda's data bank was down here, and a few more, she would have told Harper to stay on the ship but that would have been point less he would have just ignored her, he wanted to help, then he wouldn't even get the booster shot. A least this way she could keep an eye on him and limit his exposure.
The group set to work, Trance set up a triage camp, Beka distributed supplies, Harper did his best to fix anything salvageable on the planet, Rommie coordinated the relief team and Dylan assessed the damage helping the people to repair their own battered society, calling in what favours he could. Unknown to Harper both Beka and Rommie had a watchful eye over him, the first steering him away from any area that looked to much like a disease ridden death camp, the second merely watched the young mans reactions happy that the situation was adequately being taken care of by Beka.
Harper took in the sight there was too much death around here, it was worse than home back on Earth the Nietzscheans barely feed them enough to keep them alive, but at least they were feed, these people were free but had nothing but their freedom; what was not destroyed in the war the Nietzschean had destroyed or taken with them when they left, including any scarp of food left on the planet. These people were cold, tired, hungry and in pain, wondering if freedom really was worth the cost they had paid. Things would get better he knew, but it would take time, and many of these people would not live long enough to experience the riches they would weave from the rubble left behind. Their children would live free, but now these people were paying the cost of their freedom, freedom for them was pain and suffering greater than they had ever experienced as slaves.
Harper forced himself to smile and go on these people did not need his pity only his help, and help he could do. Most of the technical stuff on this planet had long since lay in waste or had been destroyed but some of it was salvageable probably not to anyone else, but Harper could work miracles. Harper came across a smashed food dispenser left by the Nitzscheans they had smashed it up pretty good, but he thought he could repair it then at least these people could eat, tasteless gruel to be precise but at least it was something. Come to think of it he may be able to programme it to serve something a little more tasteful, hell enough time and he could probably make it serve bacon and eggs, but they didn't have time these people were dying around him and there was a whole planet to help.
Rommie watched Harper, and watched as the emotions flicked across his face, emotions she had never seen on his face before, expressions which showed the horrors that he had seen that no one should have to seen. In those few minutes of watching him she learned more of his life on Earth than his words had ever or could ever tell her. In that moment she realised just how strong Harper was and she admired him for that, he had perhaps more inner strength than she had physical. He looked even more beautiful than before. He chose that moment to look in her direction and he caught her staring at him; Rommie looked away embarrassed. Harper continued staring at Rommie had she been checking him out? Had he seen what he thought he saw in her eyes? But that was twice now he was beginning to think that perhaps he wasn't dreaming.
I'll tell him soon thought Rommie privately to herself, I don't know how but I will.
After three days the crew had given all the help they could it was up to the people now, as they prepared to brake orbit Rommie glanced at Harper she still hadn't told him yet, she couldn't find the right words and found herself backing out again at the last minute making some excuse to leave.
Harper was getting worried about Rommie she had been acting very strange the last few days, he wondered if their trip to the planet had effected her more than he first thought. He had already asked Rommie if she was ok, she assure him she was fine "if you ever want to talk " he said "you know you can come to me" he added, but this was one thing she couldn't come to him for, but she needed to do something soon these feeling were driving her crazy.
Harper called Rommie into the machine shop her behaviour was still strange and he decided that he would invite her here under the pretext of getting her to help him with a project, he would then talk her into a scan suggesting it as part of the project, he just hopped he could sound convincing and the scan would tell him what was wrong.
Rommie meet Harper in the machine shop, it was late and most of the crew had gone to bed but Rommie knew Harper liked to work late and he knew she didn't sleep so the hour didn't surprise her. Rommie asked Harper what the project was and how she could help but soon found it hard to concentrate on anything but Harper she silently asked her mainframe to monitor the conversation for her; she could feel her mocking her but still she recorded the conversation silently prompting Rommie when a response was expected of her, Andromeda quickly realised that Harper wasn't making much sense his theories seemed flawed and she couldn't understand how a scan of her android body would help but she played along anyway Harper was her friend and she wanted to help, and although her android persona had tried to block it from her she suspected that Rommie was beginning to see Harper as more than a friend, she sent some encouragement to Rommie but Rommie played innocent .
Rommie stood still while Harper scanned her, he moved in closer for a more detailed scan and suddenly Rommie found her self grabbing Harper and kissing him passionately, her body seemed to have started acting of its own accord but she was powerless to stop it , suddenly she realised that Harper was responding admitting her entry to his mouth, she grateful accepted and deepened their kiss she felt elated she was kissing him and rather than pushing her away she found him pulling her even closer, his hands started to explore her body and shivers shot though her, she kissed him harder, they continued that way until finally Harper had to stop to catch his breath "wow " he said when he could but then words escaped from him "wow" he simply repeated then moved to kiss her again he gently pushed her down onto the bed behind them, grateful for once that he felt the need to keep one there.
He rolled up her top and begun to kiss her flat stomach she moaned in delight Harper looked questioningly in her eyes and at her nod pulled the top over her head before removing his own her hands found his body caressing the exposed skin committing it's feel to memory, their love making was tender yet also passionate now she now understood what he meant when he said she could enjoy all the benefits of being a human woman.
When it was over and he lay softly moaning on top of her spent, he hugged her and kissed her again tenderly this time she found she enjoyed the sensation as much as their more passionate kisses he stopped kissing her and she realised he had fallen asleep, she did not sleep herself but still she found herself happy watching him sleep she took the time to watch him and memorise his every move at some point she realised her eyelids were fluttering and she let them fall closed nestling her body against his as unexpectedly sleep overtook her.
Authors note: I was going to end this on part two but I'm not sure I'm ready to finish yet, what do you think? Ps. I censored the last paragraph a bit it if you are over 18 and want the uncensored version email me or leave signed feedback its slightly longer and fills in the blanks but its not overly graphic.
