Ch.7
I took a look in the mirror. The simple emerald green dress made the small amount of green in my eyes stand out. My light brown hair fell in large curls around my face. The color of the dress looked great with the color of my light brown skin. The heels I wore gave me the extra height I needed. We were going into the city tonight. It would feel great to get off of Starfleet headquarters. A small part of me panicked when there was a small knock at the door. Thoughts flooded my head. Am I over dressed? Will he even like my dress? I opened the door. Bones was standing there in an all black suit. His collar was open at the neck. He looked amazing. He looked at me and his eyes widened.
"You look..." he said. His southern accent making him sexier. "Beautiful " he smiled. I flushed a bit.
"Thank you. You don't look to bad yourself" I said. He smiled and held out his elbow to me. I took it. He lead me out of the hallway and to an aircab that was waiting right outside the building.
"So where are we headed?" I said climbing into the cab as he held open the door.
"Its a surprise" he said before walking around to the other side. The taxi started to move when all of a sudden Kirk and Cassie ran across the street...drunk. The airtaxi stopped.
"Damnit Jim!" yelled Bones irritation spreading over his face.
"Hey! Bones!" said Kirk. He ran up to the window and started to knock on it. Cassie stood in the middle of the street barely able to stand. I watched her for a minute until she collapsed. I opened the door and ran to her side.
"Heeeyy, hows your date goin?" said Cassie I barely understood her through the slur of her words. I helped her sit up. Bones saw us. He ran over to help.
"She's supposed to be in bed Jim! Not out partying!" yelled Bones to his drunken friend leaning against the aircab.
"Here let me have her. You show me to her room." he said scooping her up in his arms. I let him. We walked down to dormitory 6, I let Jim use me as a brace. We walked down the hallway until we reached my old room.
"Here" I said removing Jims arm from around my shoulder. Part of me missed the warmth, I typed in the pass code. The door opened and Bones layed her on her bed. Jim stood at the door bracing himself with the door frame.
"I better get him to his room" said Bones looking to me apologetically. I gave him a small smile.
"Rain check on that date? I should probably stay with her tonight. She's way to wasted to stay alone." I said grabbing his hand.
"Yeahh I should do the same with that idiot." he said drawing small circles on my thumb. He gave me a soft kiss on my cheek, but as he moved away, I grabbed him and gave him a kiss, a real honest kiss. He pulled away gently and gave me a soft smile.
"I'll call ya on my Com tomorrow." he said dropping my hand. He turned away. "lets go you damn idiot." he said walking to Kirk. I waited for the doors to close before i took off my heels and tucked in Cassie. I felt her pulse to make sure she was alive. When I felt a steady heartbeat, I turned around and climbed into the bed that used to be mine. I didn't get much sleep between thinking about the kiss and helping Cassie to the bathroom every hour. By the time she sobered up, it was about 4:00.
"Sorry I ruined your date" she said groggily.
"Its okay." I said laying next to her. "Just don't do it again" I said sarcastically. She smiled.
"I have the worst hangover" she said sitting up slowly.
"Figures. I'm not sure how much you drank, but I'm guessing a lot." I said standing up.
"You looked great tonight" she said. "Sorry my stupidity made it to where the entire city of San Francisco wasn't able to see it." she said putting her head in her hands.
"I'm just glad you're okay." I said "No more partying understood?" I said grabbing my heels from her ground. "You need to rest or i'll ground you from our first mission" I said pointing a finger at her.
"Aye Captain" she said smiling.
"You think you'll be okay for a little?" I said.
"Yeah. Just go back to your room. I'll be fine for the rest of the night." she said laying her head back down on her pillow.
"Alright. Rest up. I'll see you tomorrow afternoon." I said walking out of the dorms and towards the captains quarters. Once I reached my hallway, I heard loud whispers. I stopped. I knew the voices.
"Why would you do that to me?!" asked Kirk. I couldn't see them. I inched up closer to the hallway.
"Do what? Date the girl ya can't have?!" yelled Bones. They were arguing over me.
"Yes exactly! You know just because I can't have her doesn't mean I don't have feelings for her!" he yelled. I looked around the corner. Kirk stood right outside of what I was guessing was his quarters. He stood there in a pair of blue jeans, white shirt, and leather jacket, I wasn't sure if that's what he was wearing earlier, but It suited him. I found it funny he was the exact opposite of Bones who was wearing the suit from earlier, it was quite a scene. I continued to watch.
"Oh and going to break the girls heart by dating her best friend is really showing her your love! Let the girl be happy Kirk! And if that's with me then so be it!" he yelled. Kirk put his head down. He took in a deep breath, then let it out. "I'm being selfish" he said looking up to Bones.
"You're right. You both should be happy." he said the sadness slipping into his voice.
"It just sucks that I can't be with the person I know I'm supposed to be with." he said. Facing the wall. "That everytime we get together, she dies. I love her Bones." he put his forehead to the wall and stood there for a minute. He let his anger get the best of him, because he punched a steel wall. "Damnit!" he yelled shaking his hand. I could tell from here he broke it.
"Jim!" yelled Bones as he grabbed Kirks hand a bit ruff. "Ya broke it smart ass!" he said some of the irritation from his face subsided. He sighed. "Lets get you to medbay." he said turning to walk my way. I panicked. I turned to run, but I slipped. I stood up just as they came around the corner. "Su?" said Bones as he and Kirk spotted me.
"Oh hey guys. I just dropped my shoe." I said nonchalantly. It worked.
"Is Cassie alright?" asked Kirk. I looked to him.
"Yeah asshole. Listen to me Kirk, she just got out of a coma a week ago and you take her to a bar! Are you serious?!" I said walking closer to them. Bones took a small step away.
"Thanks Bones" he said looking over to his friend.
"Hey she's not mad at me" he said smiling my way. I returned the smile. A small amount of hurt crossed Kirks face, but he was pretty good at hiding it.
"Stay away from her." I said simply. I walked past him. "And Bones" I said turning to him. "I'll be waiting for that call" I said giving him a small kiss. He smiled at me as a bit of guilt crossed his face. Kirk looked away. I didn't take one more look at them as I walked down the hallway, but I knew they were watching me.
...
I woke up late in the afternoon. I grabbed my com off my nightstand, the red light in the corner flashed meaning I missed a com call. I opened it.
"Jones to McCoy." I spoke. Into the com. "
McCoy here." his voice came in.
"Hey. Sorry I missed your call." I said standing up.
"Ahh its no problem. I figured you'd be asleep." he said. I could tell he was smiling. "So about that date?" he said.
"Yes?" I said pulling out my officers uniform. I tossed my pajamas into my closet.
"I was thinking we could go out this weekend? No stupid ass Jim to screw things up." he asked.
"Hmmm...Casual or Formal?" I asked zipping up my skirt.
"I loved seeing you formal, but I'm a southern guy, so I was thinking more casual? Instead of the city we could do something else?" he said hoping. I smiled.
"That sounds wonderful." I said pulling my hair up.
"Alright then. I'll come get you Saturday at 10?" he said a bit excited.
"Sounds like a date" I grabbed my PADD and officers hat off my nightstand.
"alright I got a patient. I'll see ya later. McCoy out." he said before the line went dead. I closed my com and placed it in its usual spot in my boot. I took a deep breath as I walked to the cafe on campus to get lunch...for once in my life, I feel like everything's going according to plan...except for the conversation in the captains hallway, and that nagging name in the back of my head, James T. Kirk.
