Mass Effect Shepard Rises.
Shepard exited the Normandy with Kaidan, Ashley and Liara in tow, he looked around and spotted an armed guard "spectre were here to take Liara T'Soni to the council for debriefing." he nods and turns to Liara "OK doctor go with them they will take it from here" he watches as she nods and walks away from the group wiping a stray tear from her eyes and left with the armed guards.
After watching Liara leave he turns to Kaidan and Ashley "right lets re supply the Normandy should take few hours then have some R and R?" he watches as Ashley turns to kaidan "oh yes. LT im going to drink you under the table" "you wish chief" kaidan laughs, "come on you two, sooner we get this done the sooner we drink." the group enter the now empty elevator and head down to C-sec. once the slow elevator stopped they exited and turned left then left again and entered the elevator for the markets.
He exited the elevator and turned to Kaidan and Ashley "right you two go and get the food for humans and Wrex and I will go get for Tali and Garrus" he watches as the two alliance officers salute and run off, once he's alone he opens his Omni-tool and calls both Garrus and Tali "hi guys were having some R and R for the next day and there's a plan for the ground team to have a few drinks you guys want to come?" he asks and watches as Garrus nods " damn right I will get Wrex let me know were and when." and with that Garrus disconnected, he chuckles "so Tali you coming?" he watches as Tali seems to look around and whispers "yeah ok I want to go dancing anyway." a cheeky smile spreads his face "with them hips I bet." he chuckles " bosh'tet" he laughs "sorry couldn't resist princesses." he see Tali shake her head and disconnects.
After searching through his Omni-tool for a supply store and follows the map. He arrives at the store and enters to find kaidan and Ashley, he can hear Ashley almost begging "come on LT you know if you get the better quality provisions It will up moral." he doesn't wait for kaidan to answer " yeah come on LT" he says and watches as both Ashley and kaidan freeze and both spin around and salute "sir" he walks to the counter and searches through the terminal and orders the best quality dextro rations "well I have ordered Tali and Garrus the best so what about us LT.." he says trying to hide a grin "on it commander" ah kaidan always the kiss ass he thinks "good I will pay for these personally." shepard says and watches as shocked expressions form on Ashley and Kaidan's faces "what you two are buying the beers" they both chuckle "yes sir" he nods to himself and transfers the necessary funds to the Clark who remained silent throughout the whole exchange. "so guys were to?" he watches as Kaidan's face scrunches up in thought "how about flux." he nods and sends a message to Tali and Garrus.
The group arrived at flux after a rather long walk from the markets, all the way here he and Kaidan had to put up with Ashley's complaints "are we there yet?" and "how much further LT?" he chuckled at the thought, when the bouncers voice rang out "look I don't care if you're with C-sec I cant let a Quarian in." the voice sounded deep like Wrex's so he could guess the bouncer was krogan, "hey what's going on here?" he asks and watches as Tali stands aside and shuffles " Shepard I don't want to cause trouble I will go back to the ship." he raises his arm and locks eyes with the krogan "I'm a spectre so I suggest you let us in NOW." he voice lowered and his eyes narrowed into slits. The krogan holds his hands up " ok but whatever happens its on your head." he nods and takes Tali's hand in his "come on Tali, I believe you want to dance?" as he's moving past the krogan he places his hand on his shoulder and squeezes down, the krogan grunts "treat any of my crew like that and I will show you what a spectre can do."
After the rather heated exchange at the door the group found a quiet spot and ordered there drinks. He looked around as his ground team was mingling with the various groups, Tali sat across from him watching him intensely " are you okay john?" he bent down and picked up his whiskey with ice and took a drink "just thinking Tali" he says and clicks his neck, "oh anything you want to share?" she asked he chuckles "no thanks think I need another drink." he goes to get up when Tali's hand grabs his "no come on were going dancing."
He felt her pull him onto the dance floor, he watched as Tali's body seemed to flow in time with the music she raises one hand above her head and slides the other down her side as her hips sway side to side, he feels transfixed his eyes glued to her body "are you going to just stare at me john." the way she said his name awakens something in him something primal and he walks towards her and places his hands on her hips and sways his own in time with her, she spins around and presses her back to his chest, he feels her place a hand on his neck, his own arms wrap around her protecting her he feels as the club disappears from his mind to him its only him and Tali in the room.
Tali had never felt so nervous and confidant her whole body was on fire, she shuts her eyes and blocks out the room and starts to sway her hips in time with the rhythm, she raises a hand over her head her other hand slowly slides down her body she notices as john just stares at her "are you going to just stare at me john" the way she said his name was extremely flirty. She feels as john's hands find a place on her hips and they both move in time together, a thought struck her and she spins round and pushes her back into his chest she feels him pull her to him and there hips again move in time she raises her hand to his neck as his own wrap around her, she feels protected and safe the people around her disappears and its just her and john in the room. Time drifts by for the two as they sway and rub against each other god what I wouldn't give to peel this suit away she thinks.
For the first time in his life John Shepard was confused what was happening after all his training and all his conditioning a simple girl like Tali had taken all that away, no wait Tali was anything but simple she was special he didn't know how to explain it, the music ended and the world snapped back like a whip and they both became aware that the whole squad was watching them, he watches as Tali suddenly runs off his face turns red and he shrugs "what"
