Happy St. Patrick's Day. I'm a little wary about this chapter as it's a little more risque than I write but hopefully it's tame. I wrote this a while ago and have been waiting to post it up. Hope you like it.

Thank you to all who reviewed and are reading.

I do not own.

"So the fuselage needs to be replace and if we hook up the capacitor to a new energy source we should be able to improve efficiency by 20%." Caesar droned on.

Beverly raised her hand like she was in school.

"Yes?" Caesar asked confused. "You have a question?"

"Yeah, when are you going to kiss me?" Beverly asked pointedly.

If Caesar had been drinking something he would have spit it out. As it were he choked on his own saliva.

After a short coughing fit, he looked at his pretty assistant/ girlfriend who had her arms crossed and did not look amused. "I, uh well, I…" Caesar hedged. He wished the alarm would suddenly sound or that Rex would burst into the room. As it were none of these things happened and she was waiting for an answer.

"Don't you want to kiss me?" Beverly asked worriedly now. "I mean we've been going out for a month now and you haven't even so much as tried."

"Well, I.. I…" This was a first he was at a lost for words. "I…I… I…"

"Nevermind." Beverly sighed. "Sorry I asked.

"No, it's a good question." What was he saying? It was a terrible question. What was he doing? Shut up idiot! She gave you a way out.

"So why haven't you?" Beverly asked curiously.

"Did you want me to?" He asked stupidly.

Beverly rolled her eyes. She's been hanging out with Circe too long. "Well, I don't know? Isn't that what boyfriends and girlfriends do?"

"I guess." Caesar acquiesced.

"Well then?" Beverly demanded. Then a worried look passed her face. "You don't like me?"

"No!" Caesar said a little too loud. He winced at how fake it sounded. "I mean no of course not. I like you… very much."

"Then?" Beverly prompted.

"I guess, I guess I've been waiting for the perfect moment." He said trying to gather his thoughts.

"Perfect moment?" Beverly looked skeptically at him.

"Yes, I always imagine that my first kiss would be… at the perfect moment." Caesar concluded lamely.

"So we didn't have any perfect moments yet?" Beverly looked at him funny.

"No, that's not what I mean." Caesar said realizing he was digging himself into a bigger hole.

Beverly remained silent and looked at him expectantly.

Caesar sighed. He rubbed his face then his hair and began pacing. Beverly realized she had perplexed the poor guy. Caesar only paced when he was under extreme duress. She now felt bad. She hadn't meant to stress him out. She was merely frustrated and confused. Circe advised that she just come out and directly ask him.

"You know what. It's okay. If you want to wait for the perfect moment then you can wait for the perfect moment." Beverly decided to have mercy on him.

Caesar shook his head and held up his hand. He continued pacing. Beverly was worried that she may have overloaded his brain. She silently watched him. After a few more passes he stopped. He looked at her intently. Beverly held her breath.

"You know if we switch where the energy conduit it located we can bypass having a new energy source!" Caesar announced.

If this was an anime cartoon Beverly would have hit the floor. "What!" She almost screeched in outrage.

"Well, I mean the energy conduit is place in an area which…" Caesar looked confused.

"WHAT ABOUT KISSING ME?" She yelled glaring at him.

"Oh that. Well…" Caesar suddenly swept all the tools off the table. He pulled Beverly onto the table and passionately kissed her. When they pulled apart, he looked worriedly at her.

"How was that?" He asked.

Beverly was panting. "Wow." It was all she could get out. She then pulled him back.

"Hey bro! I just got the new game. Can you install…" Rex at this moment had decided to burst into the room. As usual his timing was poor.

Beverly and Caesar broke quickly apart. Beverly nearly fell scrambling off the table. Caesar stood up so straight and still that he could have passed for a British royal guard. Both sported a serious blush.

"Oh, hey sorry, I didn't know you were busy… I mean busy working not bizzzzea." Rex babbled slowly backing out of the room, hand on his eyes.

"Rex," Caesar started.

"No, it's okay. I'll get someone else to install the game." Rex backed into the wall instead of the door because he couldn't see.

"Rex, nothing like that happened." Beverly tried to explain.

"Yeah, sure." He was having a hard time finding the door without his eyes. Finally he peeked through his fingers so he could find his way out. "See you later." Rex fled the room.

Beverly and Caesar stood awkwardly alone.

Beverly broke the silence first. "So you want to change the energy conduit?"

"Yes, I think it would be easier than finding a new energy source." Caesar agreed.

"You want to do that now?"

"Sure, if you have the time."

"It's a date." Beverly looked shyly at him.

Caesar blushed but pulled her close and gave her a soft kiss.
