Lee walked onto the observation deck and smiled as he caught site of Kara leaning on the rail staring out into space waiting for him. He slowly walk up behind her, placing a kiss on the side of her neck as he wrapped his arms around her waist.

"Your late" she whispered, leaning back against his chest.

"Sorry," he whispered back simply.

"I suppose I could get over it but your going to have to make it up to me"

"Really and how would I do that?" Lee quipped.

"Oh I'll think of something, but first you can start with why you insisted on me coming up here instead of getting some sleep in my bunk?"

"I missed spending time with you."

"You see me everyday, I would have thought you were bored of the sight of me"

"I could never be bored of the sight of you" emphasizing his point by gently nibbling on her ear.

"I don't believe you" Kara stated, groaning and closing her eyes as he hit just the right spot.

"Well it's true and anyway we haven't had enough alone time lately with everything going on"

"Then why am I spending my alone time not alone with you" Kara said trying to stop herself from smiling.

"You know what I mean" Lee said calmly.

"Yeah I do and I missed spending alone time with you as well" Kara said seriously, "So what do you have planed?"

"That's a secret, but first how about diner?" Lee smiled taking Kara's hand and leading her to a small table in the corner with two chairs, that he had set up earlier that day.

On the table were two plates covered so they didn't get cold, Lee pulled out one of the chairs and Kara sat down, then he uncovered the plates. Kara gasped, it was pasta with a tomato and herb sauce.

"How did you manage this?" Kara asked shocked.

"I have my ways, go on try it?"

She picked up her fork and placed one piece in her mouth, closing her eyes as she slowly chewed it savoring it's taste, she hadn't had something like this since the Cylons had attacked.

"Wow" she whispered, "Did chef make this?"

Lee bit his lip and looked away, "No" he mumbled.

"Hang on, are you telling me you made this?" She took Lee's silence as a yes, "Now who's been holding out on who? I never knew you could cook?"

"My mum decided that all her kids were going to learn to cook, so they didn't eat rubbish at college."

"But you did eat rubbish at college, I was there, I saw you" Kara said pointing at him to emphasize her point.

"Just because I could cook doesn't mean did, after all eating rubbish is all part of the experience"

"Well you can cook for me anytime I've had enough experience"

They both laughed and started talking about Galactica gossip while the ate.

After they had both finished Lee took Kara's hand and lead her to the massive window that looked out at the stars. They stood and stared out at the stars for a while, both content at just being with each other. Finally Lee turned Kara to face him and took her hands in his. Here he was on the edge of the pool again, he'd been here many times before, but never had the guts to take the plunge. Tonight though he was going to do it, he was going to ask her, even if she just laughed in his face. He took a deep breath, looked at their joined hands, dropped down on one knee and dove right in.

"Kara I love you, I think I always have, ever since we first met. You might laugh at me and think I'm an idiot, but I want us to be together, forever"

"We will, I'm not going anywhere" Kara interrupted, squeezing his hands.

"I know, I suppose I just want everyone to know how much I love you. Kara..." Lee took a deep breath this was it, "will you marry me?"

He looked up at Kara as he finally asked what he had been trying to ask her for weeks. He looked into her eyes and realized he'd had nothing to worry or be nervous about. She had known all along what he was planning to do, she had probably known from the first time he thought about it, maybe even before that. He felt like kicking himself, of course she'd known, after all, she knows him so well.

And that is the end of the story I hoped you liked it, please review and tell me what you think even if you thought it was rubbish I wanna know so I can get better, thanks for reading it.
