I think I love you
Part 2
Mike's P.O.V
I was just dozing off in my small cabin when I heard a knock on the door. I opened it when a surprised look washed over my face "X what are you doing here? Do you need me on the bridge?" I asked confused. She stared at me blankly when I suddenly realised I had no top on. "No we don't need you on the bridge but I need to tell you something" she explained as I put my white, short-sleeved t-shirt on. "I'm just going to go ahead and say this ok?" she continued. "Over the past 5 years I have had a uncontrollable crush on you, and this year you have been all I can think about" "Mike…I think I Love you."
Now it was my turn to stare. I have been waiting for this for so long and now I can't even open my mouth to say I love you back to her. She politely waited on my response, tapping her finger on the side of her leg. "Kate…" I began thinking of how to respond "I love you too" I whispered as I stepped forward to kiss her gently on the lips.
The next morning Kate and I walked on the bridge and everyone turned to look. "Crew, Kate and I thought you should all know and we trust that what is said on the Hammersley stays on the Hammersley." "Don't worry Captain, you have our word" Spider told the captain. "Thank-you spider" Kate and I said together. "Well…Kate and I have gotten together." "Awesome, Our CO and Kate are finally together" Bomber almost squealed.
I looked at Kate and thought about how lucky I was to have her in my life. She looked back at me with a wide smile spread across her face, no-one made me happier than Kate did.
I looked into her blue-green eyes and smiled back. I suddenly realised that she was now my girlfriend. Her beautiful, blonde hair was blowing around in the wind and somehow she had never been so pretty.
