A little over and hour later and Lee was on his way down to the rec room, after having had a shower and changed into combats and the hoddy Kara had gotten him, he sighed tiredly and pushed open the hatch to the rec room. He walked in and found himself face to face with one of the nuggets he had seen in the breifing.
"Sir I just wanted to say if you needed any help babysitting or anything, I'm willing to help." she said, gently placing a hand on his arm.
"Right thanks I'll remember that" Lee said slowly, looking somewhat bemused.
Lee expected the nugget to walk away but she stayed exactly where she was, looking at him expectantly
"Was there something else you wanted?" he asked, slightly distractedly.
"errr... yeah I was wondering if you could help me with my stick control, I'm not very good at it and I think I'm falling behind" she told him, batting her eyelashes at him.
"Right... errrm... I'll have to check the schedule but I don't think I have any time spare" he stated, determined to try and look as if he didn't know what she was really talking about.
"oh but surely you could make time..." she replied, running her hand up his arm and across his chest.
Lee peered around the nugget to see if Kara had noticed this, but thanks to Kara's quick reflexes she managed to quickly look at her cards so Lee didn't find her looking at him. Also missing the grin Kara had plastered on her face, Lee looked back to the nugget.
"Look I'll have to get back to you" Lee sighed, trying to get around her.
"Why are you being so stubborn, are you thick or just playing hard to get" the nugget almost screamed in his face.
"What the hell are you on about?" Lee spat getting very annoyed.
"Your not married, your not engaged, you don't care about the frat regs. So what is your problem!" she spat back.
Lee stood open mouthed for a minute and then started to laugh, he couldn't believe his ears, "Just because I'm not married or engaged, doesn't mean I'm not involved." he managed to say while he was laughing.
"Oh and who would you be involved with!" she exclaimed, shocked that there was anyone that he would not give up for her.
"That would be me" Kara stated simply as she stepped around the nugget to stand next to Lee.
"Hey" Lee breathed, slipping his arm around her waist and pressing her lips to hers.
Then they both turned to the nugget, Lee just shrugged at her and smiled, while Kara glared at her. The nugget went bright red and stormed back to her table, Lee and Kara just smiled at each other before they walked back to Kara's table and Kara sat down.
"I thought we agreed that Ali shouldn't gamble at her age" he said motioning to the little girl with a huge pile of stuff in front of her.
"She's not, she's helping me" Kara stated smiling, pointing out the fact that Ali didn't have any cards in her hands.
"That's just as bad."
"Really... maybe you should find someone else to babysit... that nugget seemed very interested in helping out... and then maybe you'll have time to help the her with her stick problems"
"You have got to be joking right?" Lee asked leaning towards Kara.
"Nope, you really should consider her offer"
"And why would I do that?"
"Because you wouldn't want me to corrupt Ali anymore."
"Yeah but I can't do stuff with her, that I can with you"
"Oh yeah like what?"
"Like this" Lee whispered, cupping her cheek in his hand he leaned forward and pressed his lips to hers.
Kara groaned, leaning into his hand and kissing him back. Lee nibbled her bottom lip before pulling back, leaving his hand cupping her cheek.
"Well... I... I ... guess that's one of those things" Kara stuttered, feeling flustered, "What?" she asked seeing Lee's grinning face.
"You're so cute when your flustered," he whispered kissing the tip of her nose.
Kara pulled back from him and punched him playfully in the arm, Lee just laughed and grabbed her pulling her into a head lock. They wrestled like this for a while until Ali intervened.
"Will you two stop messing around, who are the adults in this family?" she shouted at them.
Lee and Kara stopped wrestling and stared at each other.
"She has a point" Lee said trying hard not to laugh, "Who are the adults in this family?"
"I don't know, maybe we should let her be the adult," Kara replied smiling, "She can do all the meetings and paperwork and we can just fly the Vipers and..." She leaned forward and kissed him.
Lee smiled as her lips touched his, then he pulled away and sighed, "As good as that sounds I don't think we could get away with it, and talking of meetings I have one I'm now late for."
"Do you have to go, they never really need you in these meetings." Kara moaned.
"I know, but they're expecting me and won't start till I get there. I'll see you tonight, we're still on for that right?"
"I dunno, Ali's a lot better but I still don't think it's fair to just dump her on someone else."
"It's ok her Grandpa wants to look after her, says he hasn't spent enough time with her so..."
"Alright, I'll see you tonight"
"Good, I'll see you there," Lee said, giving her a quick kiss before getting up.
He turned to Ali, gave her a hug and a quick kiss on the head, before saying goodbye and leaving.
As soon as Lee had left, Kara looked over to the nuggets table to find them glaring at her. She just laughed and shook her head, everyone else on her table beginning to laugh as well, and they just laughed even more when the nuggets stormed out of the hatch banging it closed behind them.
"He must be in love to turn her down for you, that girl was hot" one of them laughed.
"No I just think he's too scared of her to look at other women" another one added, earning both of them a glare.
"Nah he probably thought she'd set him up" yet another one added.
"I wish I had thought of it, I could have set him up earlier, the look on his face was classic" Kara said laughing.
"What was even funnier was their faces when they realized he wasn't available, and who he was unavailable with." the first said, making all of them laugh.
They laughed so loud that people stopped at the hatch and looked in wondering what was going on and what was so funny, naturally by morning everyone on Galactica knew about it.
Internet is still playing up but I am trying togetbits up when I can. Hope it matched up to expectations and if it doesn't I'm sorry but please review and tell me what you thought about it good or bad
