AN: Usually I don't do this, but now I'll have to break my own rule. I know sometimes when we read a fic that we like we don't necessarily leave a review, but as this is my first fic in the Star Trek fandom I'd like some feedback to know if you are enjoying. Thanks for understand. Bella.

Warnings

Selece knew that if the Enterprise's doors were old fashioned, like those wood doors that you see in museums around Earth, Nyota Uhura would be slamming one right now. And that wouldn't be good. She designed that door, well at least she programmed the security code for it and the same door was inside her domain, the Enterprise's security room, and in her place nobody break things without paying for it.

"How can you cope?" Was the first thing that the beautiful brunette said after entering the room like a storm about to come over the ship.

"Good day Lieutenant, how can I help you?" Selece asked in a very polite tone while turning her chair to face the other woman.

"Explaining to me how can you deal with him."

"With who?"

"The Captain." Of course, Jim. Who else would make Uhura screech like an angry cat?

"So... What Jim did this time?" She got the chair back to its original position in front of the control panel and continued with her work, ignoring the fuming communications officer behind her.

"Sexual harassment means anything to him?" Nyota hissed with her dark eyes glowing with rage.

"I think he doesn't know these words."

"So, how do you deal with him?" Uhura asked again while supporting herself against the Security's room control panel.

"Well... I don't know." Selece shrugged. She didn't have a secret to deal with Jim Kirk, she just acted like her usual self when he was being a insufferable prat.

"What? How come? I mean, in all this year that we're working here I never saw him making a sex joke about you, while with the others... And it's just disgusting that half of the women in this ship worships him like he is some kind of a pop idol and the other half respects him too much because he is the Captain. But you, you are the only girl that calls Jim Kirk a pigheaded bastard in the middle of the mess hall and isn't court-martialed for this."

"Well... He did these jokes when we met in the Academy, before he found out that I could punch his face without breaking a nail."

"So he's scared of you."

"No, he respects me and knows that he'll never have a chance with me."

"Same for me, except for the part that he still doesn't know that he'll never have a chance with me."

"Why not? Didn't you break up with Spock? And I know that sometimes Jim is annoying..." Nyota gave her a look like she was asking: 'only sometimes?'. "Okay, most of the times, but he is smart, handsome, a little arrogant, and when his mouth is shut he can be a very pleasant guy."

"If he has so many qualities, why don't you date him?"

"Because I also know his faults. And because it would be... ewww." Selece made a disgusted face. Just to think about her dating Jim Kirk give her chills. It wasn't right, simple like that, like a nature law.

"Right... And how did you know that Spock and I were dating?"

"Well, Jim is my best friend, a friend who saw Spock and you sucking each other tonsils in the transport room during the Narada incident."

"And how he knows that we're not dating anymore?"

"Maybe because you're not exploring Spock's tonsils anymore?"

"Or maybe is because he spend all his time in the bridge looking to his First Officer like a puppy in love."

"So... Are you mad because of Jim's jokes or because he wants your ex?"

"I'm mad because Kirk's jokes makes me doubt if he is serious about my ex."

"You're a very possessive ex-girlfriend, did you know that?"

"Listen" Uhura got up from the panel and turned Selece's chair to look at the other woman in the eyes. "Just because Spock and I aren't romantically involved anymore it doesn't mean that I don't care about him. He is still my friend. I respect the Captain even with his stupids jokes about my uniform, my legs, my beauty and on, but if he hurts Spock's feelings..."

"Spock feels? Now I'm shocked."

"I'm not kidding!" Uhura shook her chair, almost spiting her indignation on Selece's face. "Spock has feelings and I'm not letting Kirk hurt them, even if he is my Captain."

"When did Jim hurt..."

"Let me remind you about the Narada incident when Kirk insulted Spock to take the captaincy."

"Well, he said he was sorry and Spock forgave him."

"And what will stop him the next time?" Uhura accused and Selece got up, glaring down at Nyota with fire in her gray eyes and closing her fingers in a fist.

"Now let me tell you something. Jim is my friend, my best friend, like the little brother I never wanted to have, and I'm giving you and your leprechaun ex-boyfriend the same warning: if he hurts Jim I'll make a huge damage on that pretty Vulcan face, one that not even his father will be capable to recognize him. Are we clear?" Uhura took a step back from Selece, glaring with the same intensity at her.

"Yeah, we're clear." Nyota turned around and left the security room like the fire of hell was chasing her. And again Selece was thankful for the Enterprise's door being automatic or the same would be slammed right now.
