Hope you guys are enjoying the story so far. For those of you who read my last story, I cant tell you how many times I've wrote Jo instead of Gia and had to erase. Guess she's still stuck in my head, lol. Also I made up a name for the camera guy since i dont know his real name, but didnt want to keep calling him "camera guy". Anyway please review and let me know what you think.

As the next two weeks had gone by everyone, including Sig, could tell that Norman had feelings for Gia and that those feelings were mutual. They would always be seen standing close to one another at the sorting table or sitting next to eachother during dinner. They were always talking to eachother and had come to know a great deal about one another. Norman even started answering more questions for the camera. Not many, but definitely more. The cameraman, who's name was Ryan, felt like he deserved a raise after all the rare footage he'd caught on film of Norman. If he actually ever did get that raise he'd have to be sure to thank Gia.

The Northwestern crew had just finished hauling and resetting their last string and their holding tanks were filled. The crew entered into the wet room and began stripping off their gear before heading inside. Sig set the course for the 36 hour steam to St. Paul Island and turned the wheel over to Nick, so that he could catch up on some much needed sleep. Matt, Jake, and Edgar all headed to their staterooms and all but fell into their bunks and into a deep sleep. Ryan decided to head up to the wheelhouse and see if he couldn't get an interview out of Nick.

That left Gia and Norman alone in the galley. Gia sat on the edge of the table with her legs dangling and Norman stood across from her, arms folded across his chest, as he leaned back against the counter. Both were silent, as they watched the other.

"I like you Norman." Gia said simply, taking him off gaurd. He wasn't one to just blurt out his emotions and felt a bit akward when other people did so when it concerned him. Never the less he maned up, as any Hansen would.

"I like you Gia." This caused her to smile slightly.

"I know." She replied, playfully smug.

Norman smiled. He removed his hands from across his chest, pushed himself off the counter, and closed the small distance between Gia and himself. He placed his hands on the edge of the table on either side of her, and leaned close so that her face was mere inches from his. Gia found her heart beating faster and her breath quickening. Norman lowered his face from hers, and placed his lips lightly on her neck. Gia inhaled sharply but remained perfectly still as Norman explored her neck with his lips. After a few moments of kissing her neck, Norman brought his face back up so that it was leveled with hers. Gia had looked into his eyes and saw a heavy lusting. She was sure her eyes mirrored the same thing. Without warning Norman crashed his lips down onto Gia's and she swore her head was swimming. She ran her hands through his hair as he ran his own up and down her back. He began running his hands up and down her legs, and as he made his way back up, he stopped halfway, where her knees were, placed his hands under them and pulled her legs so that she herself was pulled forward. She wrapped her legs tightly around his waist. Gia was lined up right against Norman, his hard member pressing against her own. Gia subconsciously began grinding her hips so that her member was moving against Norman's. This little act gave Norman a great deal of pleasure, and he groaned into her mouth.

"I want you right now." Gia murmured against Norman's lips. They both knew it couldn't happen right then and there, but Gia still wanted to say it and Norman was pleased to hear it. He pulled his lips away from hers and they both tried to catch their breath. Norman pressed his forehead against Gia's and both of their eyes were closed momentarily.

"Am I your girlfriend now Norman?" Gia asked in an low and unsure voice. Norman nodded his head 'yes' before placing a soft kiss on her forehead.

"Its time for bed." He said in a low, husky voice. Although Gia would have liked those words to have meant something entirely different, she nodded her head in agreement. She really was exhuasted. He took her hand into his and silently walked her to her stateroom. "Goodnight." He said before giving her a kiss.

"Goodnight." Gia said. She entered her stateroom and was welcomed by the sounds of both Edgar and Jake's snoring. Gia rolled her eyes and climed into her bunk. She took her ipod from under her pillow and placed her headphones inside her ears. She pressed the play button and on came "Unthinkable" By Alicia Keys. Gia smiled to herself as she drifted off to sleep with the song on repeat.

"Moment of honesty
Someone's gotta take the lead tonight
Whose it gonna be?
I'm gonna sit right here
And tell you all that comes to me.
And if you have something to say
you should say it right now.

(you should say it right now ... you ready?)

You give me a feeling that I never felt before
And I deserve it, I think I deserve it.
It's becoming something that's impossible to ignore
And I can't take it.
I was wondering maybe
Could I make you my baby
If we do the unthinkable would it make us look crazy?
If you ask me I'm ready
If you ask me I'm ready

I know you once said to me
"This is exactly how it should feel when it's meant to be."
Time is only wasting so why wait for eventually?
If we gon' do something 'bout it
We should do it right now

(We should do it right now... Bay, uh)

You give me a feeling that I never felt before
And I deserve it, I know I deserve it.
It's becoming something that's impossible to ignore,
It's what we make it.
I was wondering maybe
Could I make you my baby
If we do the unthinkable would it make us look crazy,
Or would it be so beautiful? Either way I'm sayin
If you ask me I'm ready
If you ask me I'm ready

Why give up before we try?
Feel the lows before the highs,
Clip our wings before we fly away.
I can't say I can't compare
I'm suspended it the air
Won't you come be in the sky with me.

I was wondering maybe
Could I make you my baby
If we do the unthinkable would it make us look crazy,
Or would it be so beautiful? Either way I'm sayin
If you ask me I'm ready
If you ask me I'm ready"
