My apologies for the lateness of this chapter. I have not given up on this one just yet, so I provided a chapter that's a bit longer than normal. Let me know what you think.

It had been exactly three days and four whole hours since Kara had walked Cally back to her room.

Nothing had happened between them.

No declaration of love or a long and passionate night.

Kara was too nervous to try any attempt at that.

However, she did give her a peck on the cheek. And that's what's annoying her so much right now. She wanted to have a moment with the brunette since then but every time she thought they might have a chance at leats just to talk, one of them was always being called away.

Kara had barely said more than 'hi' and the occasional 'how have you been'. She never actually got an answer tho, always being called away.

Cally had gone back to work two days ago. She wasn't doing much but she was doing something and Kara knew it meant the world to her. And because of that she didn't barge up to Adama or the Chief and threaten their lives. Cally was happy, so Kara was going to suck-it-up and be happy for her.

Currently Kara had been forced to train a class of nuggets. Probably not Adama's brightest idea to have her do it but it did give her ego a bit of a boost.

Right now that is something she needs. She needs it because she hasn't seen the specialist in three days and four hours and its killing parts of her. Parts she wasn't sure were still alive after Zak's death.

Zak.

She had loved him all those years ago but she had made a mistake and it cost him his life. She would not make that mistake again. That's why she was being so hard on them today. They probably didn't deserve her wrath but they did need the harsh lesson.

She was sick of re-living those moments when all she wanted to do was move on. Not to some random person but to someone who she could love.

Someone like Cally.

Shaking her head the Lieutenant made her way out of the room and down the corridor leading to the hanger deck. At first she had thought it was to work on her viper to ease some tension.

As she walked to her viper however, she spotted Kat.

The girl irritated her to no end, but she had potential. She wanted to kill cylon's. At the end of the day that's all she needed… well out of the newbie at least.

Attempting not to get in another row with Kat, Kara put her head down and continued on her way towards her viper. Nothing like some quality time, right?

Fortunately for Kara she had not seen the specialist in the room until she had heard the sound of her laughter. Kara briefly thought it was a shock she didn't get whiplash at how fast her head had snapped up and to the brunette's direction.

Green eye's shot daggers.

Not at Cally but at her companion. Kat.

This was not the type of situation she had thought of finding the specialist in. Not when she was fully invested in getting the girl, at some point anyways.

Cally was hers.

She may not have told the entire fleet or written it on the walls but everyone knew something was between them. They had known three days, four hours and twenty minutes ago that something was there. And they all knew not to flirt with the specialist. They all knew to treat her nicely if they ever wanted to live without having to look over their shoulder. Some would say she was scary, but at least all of them knew to back off and now to flirt with the brunette.

They stood not 100 feet away from her. Laughing. Talking. And for the love of the gods, that woman had better keep her hands to herself if she ever wanted to get in the cockpit ever again!

Kara could barely make out what they were saying. It was fait but she could still hear them. It was as if a thousand mega-phones were announcing their conversation in her mind. Echoing off the walls of her skull just so she could hear them again.

Kat had just asked Cally to give her some pointers about how to work on her own viper. Seemed legit enough, the girl did need a lot of pointers. However, it was the way she said it.

Kara didn't like it. Not one bit. So that was it. The girl was going to be killed. No questions asked. And if they were? Kara was pretty sure Adama would convince the President that it wasn't her fault. After all this was too much.

"What's happening?" the Chief whispered loudly in her ear causing her head to hit the wing of her viper. She didn't even notice that he had been there for the last two minutes. Thankfully they hadn't made much noise and no one had spared them a second glance if they looked up at all anyways.

"Frak!" Kara nearly shouted at him, before remembering she didn't want to draw attention to herself. Thankfully she didn't hit it that hard. "Don't do that" she whispered back harshly.

"Kara," the Chief whispered back once her glare had worn off and her attention had gone back to the brunette duo. "You're hiding behind your viper with no tools out and spying on Cally," he deadpanned, earning him another glare from the blond. "Not you watching her isn't creepy," he tried to defend.

Somehow that came out wrong, he knew it.

"Listen very carefully," Kara attempted. Her eyes were still focused on the pair but her hands had grabbed his, squeezing them each time the pair moved closer together. "I didn't mean to spy-"

"Sure"

Kara turned to give him a glare since he had cut her off.

"I was starting to work but I heard them talking and," Kara had trailed off, trying to sound as though this was the most normal thing she had done all day.

"So I will repeat my question; what's happening?" he asked, sounding intrigued as he continued to look at her from his crouching position net to her.

"You're not mad?" Kara asked while attempting to look sincere enough before she cast her eyes back to the brunette pair.

"If you think you have a reason to eavesdrop on a conversation, then I should at least give you the benefit of the doubt," he smiled warmly.

Well until he cast his eyes back to Cally, and he had to force the blond back to their hiding position before she killed someone.

Namely Kat.

The Chief couldn't believe his eyes.

Kat had her face extremely close to the specialist as she continued to explain something while working on the said piece of equipment. Cally had thought nothing of it. And probably never would give it a second thought.

Kara struggled in his grasp. His large body was enough to keep her grounded. His hand was sore from how tight he was grabbing her mouth, trying to get her to shut up.

"Kara listen to me very carefully," he told her, whispering harshly in her ear.

After a few minutes the Chief eased his grip enough that she struggled free but didn't attempt to move. They still had a good view of the pair, but maybe it was safer if they didn't give away the hiding place.

"Cally has no clue that she's being flirted with and do you know why?" Kara shook her head. "She doesn't care about everyone else around her, she cares about you."

That seemed to do the trick.

Kara straightened both of them out. Standing up so that if either of the pair looked over they were no longer hiding, Kara controlled herself.

She seemed confused for a moment which caused the Chief to explain to her as if he were explaining to a child how the world works.

"She likes you, you idiot"

The Chief smiled. He couldn't help it. It was about time she knew anyways, he guessed she hadn't made a move because she was unsure about the specialist feelings for their favourite viper pilot.

"Yeah?" Kara beamed back once he gave her a smile and a gentle shove.

Kara couldn't contain her excitement. She didn't care who saw or how out-of-character she was being. Cally liked her and that's all that mattered.

Kara jumped at the Chief, arms wrapping around his neck as she laughed and smiled. The Chief for his own part couldn't help the infections feeling that came over him at how happy she seemed to be, so he hugged her back. He even spun her around a few times, causing the blond to laugh louder and have everyone in the hanger bay stop what they were doing at the sight of them.

"What's going on?" they heard Lee yell out as he made his way to the pair.

"Nothing," Kara attempted to hide her smile and excitement as he finally made is way over.

As she looked around all eyes were on the three of them. She couldn't see Cally properly, but she had hoped the brunette didn't think she was wacked out on some drug that made her act extremely affectionate.

"Nothing?" they heard Cally ask. She was making her way to the three of them with Kat hot on her heels. "Looks like you had some good news" she commented.

Kara had no clue what to do. Of course she wanted the specialist attention and her eyes solely focused on her but she didn't expect to have no verbal skills what-so-ever. The Lieutenant was having a hard time breathing, let alone being able to answer in English.

"Nope, nothing at all. No good news," The Chief responded after a minute. This caused the four of them to look at him odd while Kara attempted to re-start her vocabulary skills.

Poor Girl.

The Chief and Lee made eye contact after that. Suddenly he knew what had just occurred. Lee had just spent thirty minutes last night telling him that Kara didn't know. But she did know now.
