A/n Can ppl please review? I don't know if you like what I am writing if
you don't tell me your opinions!
Trance was standing over Caida when she woke up in medical. "Hi. I'm Trance. Your injuries were minor, you will be fine." Just then, Beka and Rhade walked into Med-Deck. Caida shot up, smiling. "Rhade! Hi!" she said, adopting the breathy girlish voice. She batted her eyelashes. Rhade and Beka looked at each other, eyebrows raised. My God, she's practically drooling on him! Not that he is hard on the eyes. Beka thought. Beka looked away and to Caida. She was looking at Rhade adoringly. Again. Beka had to fight hard not to wipe the grin off her face. "Why is it that we just saw you not one day ago and now you just happen to show up?" Beka asked "My ship was attacked and I needed help!" Caida snapped, abandoning her tone, taking on a rude and louder voice. A second later it was back to the other one, though. "Thank you for saving me Rhade!" Rhade could tell Beka was having a hard time not laughing. "I didn't save you, Captain Hunt did." "Well I', sure you played a big part!" "No, Beka flew the ship. I did nothing." "Oh so modest!" She had that gleam in her eye that made Beka uneasy. Rhade noticed. "Beka are you alright?" Rhade asked. "Yeah..." Beka said not taking her eyes off of Caida, "I'm fine." The door opened with a hiss as Dylan entered the room/ "Harper can fix your engines. The Divine Destiny of the Loving Souls will be flying in a few hours. "Thank you." She said shortly, "Rhade, your ship is beautiful!" "It isn't his, this is a High-Guard ship." Beka said, annoyed. Rhade noticed she was having trouble not laughing and trouble containing herself so she didn't knock out Caida with a nice punch. "I wasn't talking to you, wasn't asking you, nor do I care about your opinion! I was talking to Rhade!" Caida shrieked. Beka raised her eyebrows and looked at Dylan. There was a look of amusement on his face. Out of the blue, an idea popped into Beka's head. Oh it was mean!!! "Well, I have to get back to Command, "Beka said airily and walked over to Rhade. She looked at him with a mischievous smile and pulled him down by the neck. She pressed her lips against his in a long kiss. Beka's POV Wait, he isn't tensing up or pulling away...he's kissing me back! Is he kissing me back? Rhade's POV Wait! I'm kissing back! Is that what she wanted? Is it what I want? Yes it is what I want! When she finally pulled away, Rhade had a look of peace on his face. Beka was smiling. "I'll see you later then." Beka said and turned to Caida. Caida's face was lit with anger. With a smile on her face, Beka left Med-Deck. With a smile on her face, Beka left Med-Deck.
"Good-bye." Rhade said for the tenth time. Caida had been clinging to him the entire time Harper was fixing The Destiny. Frankly, it was starting to be annoying. Caida didn't seem to notice he wasn't focused on her. All he could think about was Beka. He knew that kiss was just a way to bug Caida but he sensed it was something more. He hoped it was something more. All her remembered was not resisting then kissing back. Did he kiss back? If he did, Beka didn't tense up or pull away. That was good. He was brought out of his musings by Dylan's voice over the intercom. "Rhade?" "Yes?" "Before Cindee departs I would like a word in the Conference room." "Acknowledged."
When they got there, Dylan stood to greet Caida. Behind him, Beka gave a little sarcastic wave and smile. Rhade smiled at her. Beka's face lit up like a Christmas tree. She had to look down to mask it. Rhade looked down too. A vein in Caida's neck pulsed but she turned and sat down next to Rhade. "Alright, I just have a few questions for you." Dylan said. "Proceed." Caida answered him. "Why is it that you told us your name is Cindee? We know you are Caida Dermont and guilty of so many crimes that I can't name them all. And from your profile, you and good with machines and were perfectly capable of fixing your own engines." Caida sifted in her chair, looking for an escape. "I...I...umm...well..." "Also, Mr. Harper discovered that your ship wasn't attacked. You damaged your own systems and engines."
