The day is full of interrogation and innuendos. I knew the Captain had feelings for me. I had... Something. So I pushed hard so make him vulnerable.
"Gosh Torah, you're such a flirt!" He exclaims after a few hours.
"Am I?" I raise an eyebrow. "But the real question..." I lean closer to him, the only beings in the lonely lounge.
"Why am I still here? Why haven't you done something with me?"
Jim shifts uncomfortably at my close proximity. "You're special Torah. We need your help to defeat this new threat. "
"Is that so?" I run my pointer finger up his arm.
"Yes." He nods. Jim's eyes are fixed on my nimble hand on his shoulder.
"And what will happen to me when we defeat them?" I lean closer, our foreheads almost touching.
"I'm sure we can find... Some use.. For you." He whispers. He was nervous.
One of his hand finds its way to my back, the other my neck.
His eyes were so blue.
No. I had a new motive. Ignore whatever you felt. But happiness floods me as Captain Kirk removes the space between us.
