Nyota smiled and fluttered about their corridors as she prepared for their romantic dinner. Spock was finally back to his old self and they were together again. No more Jim Kirk and his whore like ways to interfere with them. She was absolutely high off the thought of how they would be together forever now.
She had just set the salad onto the table as the finishing touch when Spock entered their corridors.
She beamed at him as he entered and placed a quick kiss to his cheek.
"Welcome home Ashayam." She cooed.
Spock's side twinged at the term of endearment on her lips, not knowing why it sounded so wrong.
Uhura didn't notice his uneasiness and led him over to where their table was all set up.
"Come join me Spock. I've made all your favorites."
Spock took a seat across from her and folded his hands on top of the table.
"Thank you for your consideration Uhura, but I am not hungry at this time."
Uhura looked at him worriedly and put her hand on top of his.
"Talk to me Spock. I'm your chosen. You can tell me anything."
Spock said nothing as he pulled his hands out from under hers.
"Nyota, I need to know. What occurred during my missing 18 weeks? Things are different than they were before…..I am different."
Spock took a steadying breath and folded his hands together tighter.
"Something has changed within me that I cannot explain. Something fundamental in my makeup had been altered. I do not remember the cause of this change, but I know that something is missing. I cannot put a name to it, but I know I have lost something. Something precious."
Spock looked up at Uhura for the first time since he'd started speaking and was caught of guard by the amount of both fear and anger in her eyes.
Her hands balled into fists on top the table as she shook with suppressed emotion.
"Nothing has changed! Things are exactly as they were before! I am still your chosen and you are still my Spock! What happened with that potion was just a mistake! Nothing has changed, nothing at all!"
Spock's suspicions of her hiding something from him tripled as she stood and came to stand next to him.
She hugged his head to her chest tightly and touched his hair gently.
"I am your chosen, you are my Spock, things are as they were. You don't need to know what happened. It'll just upset you."
Spock pulled out of her grasp and backed up to the door.
"I will decide what is necessary for me to know Uhura and if you truly valued your place as my chosen you would not keep secrets from me."
Uhura looked like a deer caught in headlights as she met Spock's gaze.
"Some secrets are best left unknown Spock. Please just take my word on it. I would forget what happened when you were under that potion if I could. I'm just protecting you, isn't that enough?"
Uhura reached out to him and smiled tentatively.
In response Spock took a step back and away from her.
"It is not enough Uhura. I need…..something. If you will not tell me what it is, I will find out for myself."
He turned on his heels and left the room before she could respond.
He didn't see her throw her wine glass against the nearest wall and have it shatter into a thousand pieces. He didn't hear her harsh words either.
"Damn you Kirk. Even when he can't remember what happened he wants you. How can I compete with that?"
A little treat for my BFF in exchange for a wonderful sneak peak!
Please read and review!
Yours truly,
