Chapter 5

Transferred

Charlene was hugging on Hikaru's arm as they walked, she was so glad they discussed their differences and came to terms with their relationship.
Sulu was glad as well; he feels confident for the first time in a long time about this relationship. He never had a steady date this long, and he likes it. Charlene is robust, intelligent and beautiful. He is starting to have a better outlook on life. They enter his quarters, and he looks for a sake bottle to continue talking, he has so much to discuss with her.
"Hey Char, there are drinking glasses over there in that cabinet. I want you to try…"

The next thing Sulu knew was Char was dragging him to his bed; she threw him on top of it and then she jumps on top of him.

Charlene starts pepper kissing Karu all over his face; then they made contact with their lips. Next Charlene starts to pull on his shirt, ripping it, then starts to tug on his pants.

Karu starts to respond to the kiss and moan; then he feels his shirt being ripped off, her hands are everywhere. He feels her hands rubbing up and down his chest; things were happening so fast he could get his bearings.

Charlene sits up straddling him at his hips, she smiles;
"Mister I'm gonna make sure you'll never forget me!
Every time you sleep or dream from this moment will be ME!
Charlene lifts off her top to reveal round brown mounds, she throws the shirt and starts pulling on his pants.

Sulu eyes widen because her body is beautiful, he looks at her breast, then she takes his hands and places them there.

"Karu do something?" Then she starts kissing him again pressing her body closer to him. His chest is smooth, tight and muscular. Kissing his neck and moving down to his chest.

He starts to kiss, hold and rub her as well.

"Karu I love you."

Sulu heard it, and his heart leaps with joy, now it was his turn.
"Charlene I lov..."
He was hit with another barrage of kisses. Both of their hands are roaming on each other trying to remove their clothes.

They made love to consummate their commitment to each other.

Later while she slept on his chest, Sulu felt like a real man. This woman lying next to him loves him for who he is. He will truly miss her; his heart ached because tomorrow is their last day together. He looks down at her sleeping peacefully, stroking her short cropped hair. Charlene is different, and he smiles at the fact that she jumped him in his bed. He looks at her and says softly:
"Charlene Masters, I love you so much." and kissed her forehead for making his life complete.
Charlene moans and a smile forms, her hand glides across his smooth chest and sleeps.

Charlene woke up the next day to find Karu gone to work. She had the day off to say goodbye and pack. Charlene found a message near Sulu's com-link, she sat up and read the message on the monitor that he had gone to work and want to see for lunch, dinner and eternity. Charlene gasps, and a tear falls, she remembers hearing Karu says his declaration of love for her. It felt nice to be loved by someone genuine, and she didn't have to worry about being super sexy and total commitment and honesty. Their relationship is developing that. She went to the facility and cleaned up; Sulu left one of his sweat pants and top for her. She starts thinking if she put back on her outfit, and walk back to her quarters, people would know they slept together. A smile came on her face, and then people will see that they are in a serious relationship. She didn't want him to feel uncomfortable about it. So, she squashes that idea. She didn't need to prove anything. She left Sulu quarters in his sweat clothes and headed towards hers.

Charlene was quiet while packing her belonging; she packed anything that represented Sulu and their relationship. Now and then she would cry at the thought of Karu, how much she loved him, how much she will miss him. It wasn't fair how things turned out, or the fact she found something worth living for. Maybe she should turn down the offer, or find a way to stay on the Enterprise. Which now was she had considered her real home.
Her com-link chimed, and she answers it. She read the post that she is required to report to rec-area 12 for re-calibrating a replicator. Charlene signs:
"It's my day off." She throws the last piece of garment in the bag and heads out to the location. She is still wearing her fatigues; long pants and a sweat shirt. When she arrives and enters:
"SURPRISE!"
was shouted from all sides.
The rec-room was full of people
Charlene was shocked and happy at the same time. They caught her by surprise.

Nyota comes forth and hugs her and laughing at her.
"It's your going away party from now until midnight. Everyone wants to congratulate you and say goodbye at the same time."

The crowd opens up to a chair that is decorated with confetti and streamers.

"Here is your throne for the day!" Uhura guides her to the chair for her to sit.

The music starts and people gather around Charlene to greet and congratulate her on her new mission. All the senior officers came to see her and say thanks for all her hard work. The captain gave her a bottle of wine; Uhura gave her a bottle of her favorite perfume; Many wished her the best of luck on the Hood. They sat and shared stories of all their adventures on the Enterprise. By the 6th hour, her boyfriend shows up and sits next to her to help celebrate. Charlene winks at him, and he almost blushed. Karu grabs her hand and drags her on the dance floor, he didn't care how she was dressed, and he twirled her like she was in a full gown.
Everyone who wanted to come came to congratulate Charlene in shifts. Charlene laughed and cried for those crewmen she would miss. In the end, she was grateful for the party, Karu escorted back her quarters with all her departing gifts that she had to pack. After they finish packing all her stuff, they made love again for the final time. It was bittersweet for both of them; a single tear falls from Charlene. This time Karu did it right.

"I love you, Charlene Masters."

"I love you too Hikaru Sulu."

They embraced each other the whole night.
