Ch 8
Lauren made it back to her dorm earlier than she'd expected and she found the room empty. Susanna must still be out barhopping. Lauren took the opportunity to go take a nice hot shower and relax a bit. She was laying on her bunk reading when Susanna wandered in.
"What no luck with your friends tonight?"
"No I found them. Made some plans to spend more time with them tomorrow. I kinda took what you said about not being late to heart. Adama does kinda seem like a hard ass so it's probably best not to piss him off this early in the session."
"I doubt you could piss him off if you tried," Susanna fell onto her bunk with a loud crash.
"What do you mean by that? I'm pretty sure I am capable of pissing off any and all superior officers."
"I'm sure you can but I'm serious, didn't you catch the looks he was giving you today? He likes you or something."
"Not a chance! He must have been looking at you. Either that or he's heard all the nasty stories about me that some CO or another has circulated to warn all the others."
Susanna stood back up and looked over the edge of the top bunk at Lauren, "You are seriously not aware of yourself are you? People like you just amaze me. Anyway, I'm gonna go have a shower and hit the rack."
Lauren lay back on her bunk and threw her arm over her eyes as Susanna walked back out of the room. She smiled to herself and fell asleep remembering how Lee tasted and felt.
