Hi my precious readers, I have returned from studying for midterms and exams, which I failed. Anyway, I hopefully can make you guys happy with this chapter, I know it's really late and that I should be updating my story a lot, but you know, sometimes life gets in the way.

Evening

"The fact that my mother thinks that something is going on between us is ridiculous!" Nyota exclaimed whilst walking with Spock. "We both know that nothing is going on between us because we are just friends, aren't we Spock?"

"Exactly." He replied a little too quickly.

The pair sat in silence in Spock's room. Deep down, Nyota wanted him to disagree with her statement. However, she had no one else to blame but herself as it was she who emphasized that there was nothing going on between them. They sat in silence for what seemed like hours until Spock finally said: "is Vulcan to your likings?"

Caught off guard by the question, Nyota blankly stared at Spock. Confused, he re-stated it. "Nyota, do you like Vulcan?"

"Oh!" She yelled, "Uh, I mean, yeah I like it." She blushed and looked away.

"Has my question embarrassed you?"

"No! I… Never mind. I like it here on Vulcan, it's beautiful."

"I think we should 'go out' as they say on Earth. Would you like to join me?" Nyota's face turned a deeper shade of red. "A walk through the city at night always relaxes me because it is quieter. There are no juveniles from Earth starting fights with me and most of all, there are no mothers gossiping." He finished with a glint in his eyes.

Nyota, confused by the fact that he had almost asked her out tried to formulate a response but remained quiet. "Are you refusing, Nyota?"

She leaned back against the office chair located in the far right corner of his room and replied. "I would love to accompany you, Spock."

"Excellent."

The silence between the pair was becoming habitual. Nyota didn't know whether it meant that they were comfortable around each other or if there were words meant to be said. She, in fact, had many things to tell Spock both verbally and physically. She wanted to ask what he meant when he said that she meant more to him than he would ever know, she wanted to confess to him how much she thought of him on a daily basis, but most of all, she wanted to kiss him.

Nyota in fact, was head over heels for him. She knew it was silly since she had only met him a month ago but she couldn't find any other reason for her constant blushing whenever he spoke to her and the fact that whenever she thought about him, she would get butterflies in her stomach. I need to message Zana tonight. I reeeeeeally need to message Zana tonight. She thought as she stared at Spock who was now reading from his PADD.

"I need to go and check on something in my room." She said suspiciously. Spock arched an eyebrow at her. "It's important, I'll be back later." She said while leaving his room simultaneously.

She quickly made her way to her room and sank to the floor. "Why is this happening to me?" She whined into her hands. "Why can't I ever just be normal around him?"

After a few minutes, she walked towards her bed and opened her PADD. "You better friggin' answer this quick Zana or I'm screwed!" She said to herself.

She typed as fast as she could before she had to prepare herself for her "date" with Spock. Just the thought of being out with Spock made her want to throw up even though they had gone to the movies beforehand. After pressing "send", she undressed and went to her closet clad in only her bra and underwear. "What is both cute and warm?" She asked with her hand under her chin. "Shorts and a sweater make me look weather confused but jeans and a sweater makes me look like I didn't try to look cute. Perfect." After placing the items of clothing she was to wear on her walk, she stripped and entered the shower with a pep in her step.
