Being so Close

Pt5 So Close

Later that night, Chakotay's cousin was getting settled on the couch with a good book. As he was just about to put his feet up the front door swung open. He immediately ran to the door. Standing in front of him was a dripping wet Seven.

Seven pushed the screen door open and placed a bag inside the doorway. Her hair and clothes were soaked to the skin and she was dripping water all over the hand woven rugs.

"Seven you're dripping water all over the rugs."

"Water on your rugs is irrelevant. Now where is Chakotay?"

"I don't know I haven't seen him all day."

"I will wait here until he returns. I need some food bring me some."

"Excuse me Seven I am not your servant and you are in my house. You know exactly where the kitchen is you can go fix your own food."

Seven stomped her foot. "You will give me food now because I am your guest and that is proper host behavior!"

Chakotay's cousin rolled his eyes and folded his arms in front of him. "That may be true but you see Chakotay's my cousin, the last of the family I have left. You however have been a pain in my ass since you got here. You are a completely clueless about everything including how annoying you are."

"When my boyfriend comes back he is going to make you sorry for saying that!"

He sighed. "You really are clueless." He left Seven alone in the foyer dripping wet.

Around midnight the front door opened revealing a highly intoxicated Kathryn and Chakotay. Neither had ever been heavy drinkers, but after today they were seriously considering never drinking again.

Chakotay stumbled into the foyer tripping on the rug on his way down. Kathryn came crashing down on top of him, laughing all the way down.

Chakotay smiled at her. "Maybe we should stay in the position until morning. I am too tired to get up and besides this feels great you on top of me."

Kathryn slowly lifted herself up and gave him a smirk. "Is that all you ever think about?"

"I didn't hear you complaining earlier Kathryn." He slowly got up from the floor and pinned her against the wall. "As a matter of fact I remember you begging me not to stop."

He was just about to kiss her when the light on the stairs came on.

Chakotay and Kathryn both looked up to find Seven standing at the top of the stairs. She hurried down the stairs and embraced Chakotay. "I missed you so much, I am sorry that I walked out on you. You mean everything to me and I acted badly." She turned to Seven and thanked her for bringing him home. "I will be waiting for you Chakotay upstairs, thank you again captain for bringing him home."

Kathryn stood against the wall stunned. "You are still with Seven?" " I trusted you Chakotay and you are still with her!"

"Kathryn I,"

"No don't even think that you can charm you way out of this one. You and me we are done. Don't call, don't write, and don't even think about thinking about me!" She turned and walked out the door. Chakotay wanted to go after her and after a second he did. He chased her up the street in the pouring rain, turned her around and kissed her.

Kathryn smacked him across his face and continued down the sidewalk alone.
