SAY WHAT!

Pheobe arrived at the restaurant wearing a long black dress. Her hair tightly pinned up. As she walked in the attendant asked for the number in her party. "I am meeting someone here," she said. Pheobe looked around the restaurant and spotted him. "He is over there." The attendant took him over to the table where Chakotay sat.

As the attendant was walking over Chakotay looked up. He saw a woman behind her. "Oh my god you look just like" he stopped mid sentence. "Like whom Pheobe asked?" "An old friend of mine, she was a very old friend."

Pheobe took a sip of water and then looked at the man in front of her. "I'm sorry but I have to ask, what is you name, I told my sister I had a date tonight and I realized that I don't even know your name."

"Chakotay leaned closer over the table. "On one condition you tell me yours." "Agreed," said Pheobe. She held out her hand across the table and blurted out, "My name is Pheobe, and you are?"

Chakotay took her hand and shook it. "My name is Chakotay." Pheobe looked deep into Chakotay's eyes and swallowed hard. And then sat back in her chair. "You were the commander from Voyager weren't you?" "That's right, but that was a really long time ago. Pheobe started to laugh. She tried to stop but she couldn't. "Would you like to let me in on the joke?"

Pheobe tried to formulate a sentence together. But she couldn't keep from laughing. Phoebes laugh was getting louder and louder. Chakotay couldn't help it her laugh was penetrating the very fabric of his soul. He felt more alive than he had in years so he leaned over and kissed her.

Pheobe jumped. "No, you don't understand. My name is Pheobe Janeway."

Chakotay jumped out of his chair. "As in Kathryn Janeway's sister?" "That's right; I am Kathryn's younger sister. Chakotay began to apologize immediately. Pheobe shook her head, "No harm done, I should be going." She left the table, with a confused Chakotay still seated at the table.

Pheobe made her way down the street. She was startled when she heard footsteps behind her. Chakotay grabbed her hand, and pulled her close. "Why did you leave?"

Pheobe removed her hand from his grip. "Isn't it obvious, you dated my sister!" "I never dated Kathryn." Pheobe took a step back and watched the man in front of her. "You never dated Kathryn, in 7 years?"

Chakotay took another step closer to Pheobe. "Never, she didn't even give me the time of day." Pheobe took another few steps back. "I thought that you two were, well I don't know something, I mean seven years is a long time for any two people to not to mention, "Do all of you Janeway's talk this much?"

Pheobe was about to answer him when he grabbed her and pulled her tightly to him and kissed her deeply. This time Pheobe wrapped her arms around him and deepened the kiss. When they both needed to breathe they separated. Chakotay took a deep breath as Pheobe jumped into his arms. She wrapped her arms around his neck and looked into his eyes. "God you are handsome, especially when you smile."

Chakotay smiled at her and exposed his dimples for the first time. Pheobe shivered as his lips descended on hers again, I can't do this she said. She whispered in his ear, "If I continue to kiss you, I won't be able to stop." For some reason that drove Chakotay insane, his breathing increased as he grabbed her again. This time he kissed her neck while he whispered, "Then don't."
