Natbug112- I'm glad I have amazing timing. I'm glad you like the progression of the characters, I work really hard on that lol. I know Spock is my favorite too. Thanks again for your review!
Chapter 11
"What are you laughing about?" Emmy asked Bones as they stepped in the turbo lift.
"You and Spock," Bones said with another laugh.
"What about us?" Emmy questioned.
"I can't tell you, it would give away the ending," Bones said with a smirk.
"Whatever. So what should I wear tonight, my uniform?" Emmy questioned, changing the subject.
"Nah, you can wear whatever you want, it's not formal. Dinner with Jim rarely is," Bones said with a laugh.
"I didn't realize how competitive you both were with each other," Emmy said with a laugh, thinking back on the meeting.
"We've been like that forever," Bones replied, grinning.
"I can see that," Emmy answered.
"So what went on with you and Spock in the briefing room?" Bones questioned.
"I can't tell you it would give away the ending," Emmy answered mockingly.
"Okay, I get it," Bones said with a smile.
"Did you all know that I was going to choose the bridge?" Emmy asked as the turbo lift landed on her floor.
"No. I was betting you'd take the transfer, Jim was sure you'd stay, and Spock just ignored us," Bones said cheerfully as they walked down the corridor.
"Oh, how do I get to the Captains quarters?" Emmy asked, changing the subject again.
"I'll swing by and get you, it gets really confusing when it's your first time going there," Bones answered easily.
"Okay, how about ten till?" Emmy asked Bones.
"That works, oh, and I wouldn't be surprised if Kat came to help you pick out your clothes," Bones said randomly to her.
"Why do you say that?" Emmy asked.
"Because she just got out of the turbo lift, I'll see you tonight," Bones said quickly, heading back to the lift, nodding to Kat on the way.
"Emmy!" Kat said, hugging her tightly.
"Hi Kat," Emmy said, opening her door once Kat let her go.
"I knew you would make the right decision!" Kat said excitedly.
"You knew about the choices?" Emmy asked, sitting down on her bed.
"I knew there would be choices; I just didn't know what they were. But come on, it wasn't that hard to get an idea. I mean we're in space, there's not that many places to go," Kat said with a grin.
"True," Emmy laughed.
"Now you're going to be on the bridge! This is going to be so great! What are you wearing to dinner tonight?" Kat asked seriously.
"Umm…I hadn't decided yet," Emmy answered back.
"Oh please let me dress you! It's been a dream of mine to design clothes," Kat said, hands clasped in a pleading motion.
"Really?" Emmy asked skeptically.
"No, but I really wanna dress you for tonight!" Kat said with a laugh.
"Eh, fine," Emmy said, wondering if she was going to regret this
"Great, let's get started. We only have three hours!" Kat said, walking towards her closet.
Emmy lay down on her bed with a groan
Two and a half hours of torture had Emmy praying that Bones would be here soon. Emmy was dress in black tight pants, a black camisole, and a gray strapless shirt with some kind of design she couldn't figure out from upside down, and couldn't remember buying.
The only problem with this outfit was that it showed her bite mark from Spock.
"He…bit you," Kat said for the third time.
"Yes."
"Then he came and saw the bite mark again and…he re-bit you," she clarified slowly.
"Yes."
"Then…he rubbed his thumb over the mark today…which felt…good," Kat asked, slower than before.
"Yes." Emmy was beginning to feel like a broken record.
"Well, I say we leave it for all to see," Kat said with a grin.
"No," Emmy said instantly.
"Why not?" Kat questioned.
"Um, maybe cause I don't want the same thing happening again in front of Bones, the Captain, you, and Scotty?" Emmy said, frowning deeply.
"Ugh you make my mission so hard," Kat said, playing upset.
"I'm sorry, but missions are supposed to be hard," Emmy teased.
"Fine, but no scarves or shawls, they'll just ruin the look. What about a bandage, that way Spock knows it there without actually seeing it?" Kat offered playfully.
"What about a different shirt?" Emmy asked.
"No, absolutely not. I spent two hours plus on this, no changing," Kat ordered fiercely.
"Fine. I have some bandages in my bathroom," Emmy said, giving up. When Kat put her mind to something it was best not to argue, she was quickly learning.
Kat headed to the bathroom, while Emmy checked the time again. Bones'd better get here soon.
"Ta-da!" Kat said, coming out with bandages and tape.
"Umm, shouldn't I do that? Because I'm a nurse and all…" Emmy questioned lightly.
"No, I can see better," Kat said, already starting, while Emmy sighed. "Done," she said after a few minutes. Emmy reached up to lightly touch the mark, just to make sure it was fully covered.
"Thank you," Emmy said thankfully.
"No problem. Well, Bones should be here soon. I gotta hurry and go get dressed," Kat said, running out the door.
"Bye," Emmy muttered as the door closed.
After the doors closed, while waiting for Bones to appear, Emmy went about straightening her room. With the last two days off, her room was spotless except for the things Kat moved during her visits.
The door chimed right as she was finishing her cleanup.
"Bones," Emmy said as the door opened.
"Emmy, wow! You look amazing! Old hobgoblin won't be able to keep his hands off you," Bones teased. Emmy stepped out into the hall way and they began making their way to the turbo lift.
"Hey, what happened to your neck?" Bones questioned lightly.
"Spockbitmeonethefirstnight," Emmy said in a whisper.
"He bit you?" Bones said loudly.
"Shh! Shh, yes, he did, and I don't want that to become common knowledge," Emmy said quietly.
"Sorry, I just…" Bones trailed off, not knowing what to say. Emmy just nodded.
"Hey, wait. That was like three weeks ago. Why's it covered; it should have healed pretty well by now," Bones questioned, reaching for the bandage to check it out, but Emmy smacked his hand away.
"Ouch woman! I'm a doctor and I'm just trying to help!" Bones grumbled.
"I know you're a doctor, I'm a nurse," Emmy said as the turbo lift closed. "I can't believe I'm about to tell you this," she muttered before saying, "Remember the night you came to apologize?"
"Yeah…"
"Well, he re-bit me that night," Emmy said, her face scarlet.
"Spock re-bit you?" Bones questioned with a large grin.
"Yes…" Emmy muttered.
"Man, you guys are better than daytime television!" Bones said, laughing hard.
"Shut up," Emmy said, smacking him in the chest as the turbo lift opened. "Promise me you won't say anything to anyone else," she added standing in front of Bones and blocking the lift exit.
"Emmy, I won't. Don't worry. But that doesn't mean I won't laugh about it later," Bones added quietly once the way was clear.
"I guess that's as good as I'm gonna get," Emmy muttered before moving for Bones to lead the way to the Captain's quarters.
