"My roommate's not really as bad as I thought. She's a little bit barmy but that's not necessarily a bad thing and after all she is sleeping with Rimmer, need I say any more? She snapped at me today, I don't know why, but she did.
"I decided to do it, I decided I couldn't hide my feelings any more. I decided to give Dave a go and so far every one has been very supportive. I know he loves me, I know he wants me and I know he'll treat me good"
"Hey babe" Dave interrupted "every thing okay?"
"Yeah" Kristine answered, "I'm just writing in my diary"
"Really?" Dave answered, "What have you written about me?"
Kriss read out the last paragraph in her diary word for word. As she spoke the smile on Dave's face grew from a small grin to a beaming smile.
"I do love you darling," Dave told her in response to the diary "I love you very much"
"I know Dave," she told him "I know"
"Come here" Dave called "give me a kiss"
She leant towards him ready to kiss him. He leant towards her and they met in the middle. Kristine slipped her tongue into Dave's mouth and started running it round Dave's teeth. Just as they got to the tender bit Yvonne and Arnold walked in
"Sorry Kriss" Yvonne smiled "do you want us to leave and come back later?"
"It's all right" Kristine answered, "what is it?"
"Nothing" Yvonne answered "we're just going to hang out here"
"Oh" Kristine answered "that's fine"
The four of them sat down together and simply chatted. Both Dave and Arnold could see that Yvonne didn't want to be with either of them, she wasn't enjoying their company; she was enjoying Kristine Kochanski's company. From what Arnold and Dave could see Kriss was unaware of Yvonne's 'advances' and Yvonne wasn't very happy about this! The four of them carried on chatting into the early hours of the next morning. They spoke about Kristine's relationship with her parents and the way they treated her. Yvonne seemed to give Kristine lots of hugs and kisses when she realised how bad Kristine felt about the whole situation. Dave felt really uncomfortable about it all and could see Arnold was feeling exactly the same way
"Right" Kristine announced "I'm on duty tomorrow morning, I need to get to bed now"
"Okay" Arnold smiled "see you in the morning Kriss" Arnold tried to walk out and not let Yvonne say goodbye but, like most plans thought up by Arnold Judas Rimmer, it didn't work.
"Arnie" Yvonne cooed, "You can't go without saying goodnight to me"
"Sorry" Arnold reluctantly pushed himself to stagger over to her. He raised his arms to give her a hug and immediately wished he hadn't. She jumped onto him – obviously trying to show off – and shoved her tongue down his throat. Dave simply walked over to Kristine to give her a big hug and a tender kiss."
"See you tomorrow gorgeous" he cooed "don't work too hard"
"I won't" Kristine answered "night"
The boys left the room leaving the girls alone. Kristine had a quick shower before slipping into her very short fuchsia pink nightie and climbed into bed. She thought about whether she should talk to Yvonne about the way she had acted throughout the evening, but couldn't make up her mind. It turned out that she didn't need to think about it at all because Yvonne made up her mind for her.
"Kriss" Yvonne started "why didn't Arnold want to say goodbye?"
"Well" Kristine thought about her answer carefully "you were all over me a bit, maybe he was jealous"
Yvonne didn't respond, Kristine knew why, she had hit a nerve, a very sensitive nerve. It was starting to sink in to Kristine's brain that Yvonne thought highly of Kristine, maybe even had feelings for her.
