Being So Close
Pt4
This Close
Pheobe looked at the man before her. "Yes Chakotay you know my sister her name is Kathryn."
Chakotay's smile dimmed. "As in Kathryn Janeway?"
"Yes as in Kathryn Janeway, do you know that many Kathryn's that it is that difficult to remember her?"
Chakotay's smile returned. "Maybe it's just that I am in the presence of such a beautiful women that I temporally forgot about her." He tired to keep a straight face but he failed miserly and instead started laughing.
Pheobe shook her head. "For a second Chakotay you really had me going."
Chakotay attempted to catch his breath. When he finally got his laughter under control he asked Pheobe to sit. "So why exactly are you here Pheobe?"
Now it was Phoebe's turn to squirm. He was sitting so close to her on the couch that she could feel the heat from his body. He was wearing a tad of cologne and the smell penetrated her nostrils. She was deep in thought about how her sister could have possibly sat this lose to such a handsome man for seven years, when she realized that he had asked her a question.
"I'm sorry Chakotay what did you ask me?"
Chakotay couldn't help it. It had been such a long time since he had a normal conversation with a women. He had to egg her on. "I asked if you were married."
Pheobe pointed at him. "You did not; you asked me why I came!"
"If you already knew then why did you ask?"
Without thinking Pheobe uttered a phrase that made her blush on impact. "Because I was staring at your lips and I got distracted thinking about what they must feel like."
At that moment Chakotay's smile grew larger as he gently touched her hand. "Really you not just saying that?"
"Stop staring at me Chakotay."
He was near tears now and he knew if he laughed any more that he would have to send for the doctor. Pheobe finally regained her composure and smiled. "I came her to tell you that my sister is stubborn and that she is completely in love with you."
Chakotay's smile faded. "Kathryn is not in love with me. She and I are just two people who know one another. We are acquaintances nothing more."
"My sister is in love with you Chakotay. But you have to find a way to shut her up for a second before she completely denies it. Otherwise she will talk you to death.
There was another ring at the door. Chakotay's cousin yelled from the other room. "I'll get it." His cousin appeared at the doorway. "There is another woman here to see you Chakotay?"
Chakotay was about to ask who it was when he saw Kathryn. The moment Kathryn saw her younger sister she bolted. Chakotay ran after her. He grabbed her just as she was out the door.
"Chakotay let go of me."
Chakotay had her arm fully grasped, and he grabbed the other one.
"Do you love me Kathryn?"
"I don't know what my sister told you Chakotay sometimes she thinks she understands things but she,"
"You talk to much Kathryn." And with that he took a chance, and gave her a long leering kiss. She responded to him letting him take control of the kiss. When they finally parted Kathryn was quiet.
"Well this is a change Kathryn for once you have nothing to say?" Kathryn smiled just before she placed her lips back on his.
Back inside Pheobe stood next to Chakotay's cousin. "Do you have a back door I don't want to disturb them."
"Yes its right this way through the kitchen."
Pheobe walked out the back door and into the alley. She was not aware while she was walking away that Chakotay's cousin was watching her.
As he walked in he whispered to himself. "Being so close to such a beautiful women is a dangerous thing. Especially when she doesn't know how lovely she truly is."
