The Next Morning
When Trip woke up the next morning, T'Pol was gone. Although Trip understood that now working together would be that much more complicated and uncomfortable, Trip didn't understand why she just left.
After he had yawned and stretched in T'Pol's bed, he couldn't help but smile, thinking back to last night. When he was with T'Pol, he felt a new sense of completion. Trip had a feeling that T'Pol enjoyed it too by the fact that they never stopped touching. It was incredible.
Trip had a shower and then got dressed for another day of work. He decided that after his shift, he would go see T'Pol to talk to her about last night. Just as he was about to leave, Captain Archer buzzed through the intercom.
"Archer to Commander Tucker." Trip walked over and pushed the intercom.
"Trip here, Capt'n." Trip replied.
"We need you down in Engineering. The Sub-Commander will assist you." Captain Archer said. Trip considered saying something more to the Captain about T'Pol, but he decided against it. If it was going to work between him and T'Pol, there couldn't be any weirdness.
"On my way." Trip clicked off and headed for Engineering. I guess I'll see T'Pol faster than I thought, Trip replayed scenes of last night as he considered what to say to T'Pol.
