I seriously had to read back to remember what mischief Edgar and Reina got themselves into. This story is dedicated to all my DC friends and tweeps, I know I have been absent. 2012 has knocked the wind out of me and how high can you fly with broken wings?

"Yo Ed!"

Edgar's eyes shot open and it took him all but ten seconds to realize where he was and who had just called out his name. "Shit." He cussed under his breath. He quickly rolled the pretty and very naked blonde off his chest and pressed a kiss on her lips to wake and silence her at the same time. Seeing her eyes flutter open he replaced his lips with his finger and he winked at her. "Sssssh."

"Yo Ed!" The voice bellowed through the galley once again, doors were opening and closing and footsteps were making their way towards the stateroom.

With wide open eyes Reina looked at Edgar and she felt her heart beat rapidly in her chest. They must have fallen in sleep last night. How embarrassing.

"Busted." Edgar's eyes held a mischievous spark and he grinned at the shocked expression on Reina's face. His fingers curled in her hair as she buried her face against his chest.

"What do we do now?" She whispered, willing the earth or rather the haul of the boat to split open and swallow her to the dark depths of the ocean.

"No worries, could have been worse." Edgar reassured her with a gruff sounding morning voice, Reina couldn't help but feeling her body quiver by the sound of his voice.

Edgar quickly jumped up and went through one of the few drawers. He found a shirt and a pair of sweatpants and threw them on while placing his foot against the door to prevent anyone from opening it. Instead of feeling the expected pressure of an opening door there was a subtle knock on the other side of the wood. "Found some clothes on the way, leave 'em in front of the door. Better get a move on Captain Ahab wanted an early start."

Edgar put his hands together and made a praying sign in the air. "Is there any coffee yet?!" He shouted through the closed door.

Reina gave him a stern look and mouthed 'what the fuck'. She was skin naked in the captain's stateroom, her clothes left 'somewhere' on the boat last night and in her opinion this wasn't the time or place to act cocky. Hearing the rumblings in the galley, Edgar opened the door and grabbed the pile of clothes lying in front of it and snorted. "Only yours … Figures."

Reina quickly got dressed while Edgar waited, together they made their way to the galley. It all seemed different in the daylight and it felt so surreal. She had seen the boat so many times but actually standing inside the galley was mind boggling especially after they had been 'busted' as Edgar had called it. Without a word Edgar went for the coffeepot and filled two mugs. Reina stood a little awkwardly at the table beginning to feel the weight of the 'walk of shame' pressing down on her. She now knew who the voice belonged to that she had heard through the door this morning. No wonder she hadn't recognized it, Norman wasn't really an 'on camera' guy let alone that she recognized his voice from the three words that she had ever heard him speak on the show. She must have been lost in her own thoughts while staring at Norman because Edgar was waving a steaming mug of coffee in front of her nose. "Anyone home?"

"Er .. yeah. Sorry." Reina blushed and took the coffee from him.

To her relief Norman just gave her a once over checking her out and gave her a curtly nod before leaving the galley. She looked at Edgar who seemed to be completely comfortable and unfazed by their wake up call. "Are we in trouble?"

"Norm couldn't care less as long as it's not his bed but I am sure I will catch some shit of him."

"And Sig?" Reina heard Norman say that Sig was on his way to the boat and even though she had already met him a couple of weeks ago, she wasn't really sure she wanted to meet him after she had just spend the night in his bed. That sounded so wrong.

Edgar cocked his head and gave her a cheeky look over the rim of his mug. "Don't ask what you already know." Back to his serious self he continued. "Listen, take my truck back to the hotel or wherever it is that you need to go. I better be here when Sig gets here. Norm will drop me of at the hotel later and we grab some dinner together."

"Dinner?"

"Nutritious substance? Most of the time in solid form and not rarely served on a plate?"

"Fuck you." Reina flipped him off.

"That's desert sweetheart, close though but that comes after dinner."

Reina playfully stuck out her tongue but decided to keep her mouth shut, apparently Edgar was a lot quicker with his words than her this morning.

Edgar took her hand and pulled her to her feet. He dipped his head so he could look in her deep brown eyes. "Is that a yes?"

Reina shook her head rapidly wrapping her mind around the words and blinked her eyes. She was taken by the softness behind his question. He was really asking her and waiting for an answer. "Is that you asking me on a date Mr. Edgar gentlemen Hansen?"

Those dark brown eyes gave him such a sultry look that reminded him instantly of the passion that was held behind them. The little blonde witch had put him under her spell but he loved every minute of it. "Yes … I am asking you on a date, so how about it?"

"YES! Wooohoooooo! I got a date!" She squealed playfully and planted a kiss on his lips before she looked at him sternly with one hand on her hip and the other one held out. "Keys please. I got things to do and places to go."

In a flash last night's events played back as a movie through Edgar's mind. Waking up with a sleeping beauty on his chest, carrying her to the captain's state room, feeling her naked skin against his, undressing her in the dry room. Dry room. "This way." He led her away from the galley and indeed found his jeans where he had left them the night before. Digging through the pockets he fished out his keys and handed them to her.

He helped her off the Northwestern and saw how she turned around before walking to his truck. "It's blue!"

"What's blue?"

Reina smiled. "My favorite color!"

Edgar returned her smile with one of his own and saluted her as his way of saying goodbye.

It hadn't gone unnoticed that Edgar was in a much better mood today than he had been the last couple of weeks. More work was getting done and there were more jokes and laughs today.

"EDGAR!"

Edgar rolled his eyes and continued what he was doing when he heard his older brother shout his name. Yes he could have answered to see what it was that Sig but he wasn't particularly bothered. He knew from experience that Sig would eventually march his way in to his direction anyways.

"Ed-" Sig stopped and looked at his younger brother unable to remember what it was that he needed him for. "What the fuck are you doing in my clothes?"

Edgar's eyes didn't leave his work when he answered him. "Did you know you are getting bigger Sig? Size xxl now?"

Sig's hand unconsciously stroked his stomach.

"Holding your breath ain't gonna make a difference."

Sig raised his eyebrow but stopped himself from engaging himself into the whole weight thing. June was breathing down his back enough as it was with her health regime besides he knew that he would lose the little excess fat that he was carrying when he went back on the Bering Sea diet consisting of nicotine, coffee and insatiable amounts of stress. Sig relayed some more orders of what he needed to be done today.

Edgar listened but then shook his head and for the first time he looked at Sig directly. "I got plans tonight."

"Then you better get to work." Sig turned on his heel hiding the smug grin on his face when he heard Edgar mutter 'what the fuck do you think I am doing here having a tea party?' behind his back.

"Oh and tell Reina she needs to watch where she is going next time she's driving your truck, she nearly pushed me off the road this morning -"

Edgar stopped working and his eyes narrowed on Sig's back.

"Oh wait … she can't look over the steering wheel." Sig added with a snicker not even turning around to look at his younger brother.

"Wait .. You took some girl to the boat last night?" Jake's big blue eyes got even bigger when he put two and two together.

"She's not some girl, she is my girl." Edgar corrected Jake.

Jake whistled with disbelieve. "Since when does Edgar Hansen have a girl? You were here with her last night right?"

"Yup."

"Woa! You got laid! Where did you like …er… do her?"

Edgar pointed at Sig who was standing a few foot away from them knowing he was listening to the conversation and mouthed 'stateroom'.

"WHAT?!" Jake screamed with even more disbelieve before whispering. "Are you for real?"

Edgar grinned, knowing that Sig was killing himself to know. If anyone wanted to know about the gossip going on it was Sig.

It was around seven in the evening when the guys decided to finish up for the day and call it a day.

"So my bed eh?" Sig asked eventually after half a day of fishing.

Norman shrugged and shook his head. "I'll be in the car." Leaving his two brothers to their own not wanting to be part of it, he dragged Jake along with him. "Come on Junior."

"Yup." Edgar answered.

"I so didn't wanna hear that." Sig's eyes shot upwards in despair.

"Then you shouldn't have asked."

Sig lit up a cigarette and threw the box at his younger brother. "Norm dropping you off?"

Edgar nodded and turned when he saw Sig wave his hand dismissing him and urging him to leave. Edgar was halfway down the stairs when he heard Sig shout after him.

"Ed .. I expect her at the party next week."
