Data Lore Desire

Marriage Is Impossible!

****This chapter is based on Season 4 Episode 11 Data's Day****

As Data records a log entry that explains day in his life in his point of view for Commander Bruce Maddox to aid him in this study of Soong-type androids he keeps his ever growing relationship with Dezirae to himself but emphasizes on the importance of her presence in his life and how she helps him in many matters as Dezirae passes by Keiko's quarters she hears Data ask "have your feelings for Chief O'Brien changed?"  and Keiko reply "I'm supposed to be getting married, Data I should be happy, but I'm not I just feel this weight pressing down on me"  she walks into the room as Data asks "will cancelling the wedding make you happy?"  and Keiko replies "yes he'll probably be just as relieved as I am Data, you introduced us to each other you mean a lot to both of us I would really appreciate it if you would tell Miles for me"  Data turns and both he and Keiko look in Dezirae's direction when they hear her say "you have no right to "order" him to do that!"  Dezirae walks into the room as she continues "look I know you're nervous and it feels like there's a lot of pressure to make things perfect but Miles has been working just as hard as you to make everything perfect and he would NOT be happy that you are not only making this decision without talking to him first but sending someone else to play messenger pigeon.... he LOVES you and I would hope that you still love him.... postpone if you must but to completely cancel without thinking things through with your heart instead of your head is just wrong!.... talk to Miles tell him how you feel don't just give up on everything you two have accomplished together.... you doing what you had planned on doing would only upset him and now is not the time to get upset.... if you no longer love Miles then tell him so don't just expect the world to stop just because you feel pressured!.... do you truly believe that YOU are the only one feeling the pressure!? after all this is HIS day just as much as it is yours you're supposed to be becoming husband and wife which means everything you have is shared and you're just acting plain selfish which is very unlike you Kei"  Keiko's expression turned into one of shame but she would not falter from her decision "let me be clear once he is informed of your decision you are on your own in the aftermath of his reaction"  Dezirae says when she senses Keiko's stubbornness then she turns around and walks out of the room a curious looking Data follows her to Ten Forward where Dezirae calmly informs O'Brien of his wife's state of mind in the calmest kindest way possible and just as she predicted he did not take it well at all "she's just nervous and has far too much going on in her mind at once Miles.... do try to go easy on her"  Dezirae says softly O'Brien nods with a small smile then he storms out of the room angry at the fact that Keiko sent the masses to tell her what she should have told her herself "he's not going to go easy on her"  Dezirae says as she along with Data and Geordi who was chatting with O'Brien when they had walked into Ten Forward watch him storm away "no he is not"  Geordi replies Data looks at them oddly as she says "I tried to be gentle but there is no true way to be gentle in such situations"  Geordi replies "you did well I'm sure he was grateful"  she says "yes.... but she was not"  Geordi chuckles with a smile.... a few hours later O'Brien enters Data and Dezirae's quarters and Dezirae teases as he walks in "you're not on duty Miles there is no need for you to be so stiff and nervous!"  O'Brien lets out a short chuckle then walks into Data's "office area" to chat with his android friend "am I intruding, Commander?"  O'Brien asks Dezirae chuckles softly as she rolls her eyes at her friends constant nervous behavior then picks up Spot who was rubbing against her leg affectionately and starts to pet him "no would you care to sit down?"  Data asks O'Brien sits in the chair on the other side of Data's desk then stands back up and starts to pace "may I offer you some refreshment, Chief?"  Data asks O'Brien and he sees Dezirae smile softly at the gesture "no, thank you, Sir"  O'Brien replies "would you like a pillow or a more comfortable chair to sit upon?"  Data asks "no sir, thank you Sir"  O'Brien replies then he walks over and sits back down in the chair "he never listens!"  Dezirae teasingly mutters as she sets Spot back down on the floor so he can go do what cats do best "perhaps you would like some music? Brahms? Aurelia?"  Data asks trying one more tactic to try and sooth his friends nervousness as Dezirae follows Spot into the other room "no, really, Sir I'm fine I came to ask for your help it's about Keiko I'd like you to talk to her-- convince her to go through with the wedding"  O'Brien says "would Counselor Troi not be a more appropriate choice to speak with Keiko?"  Data asks "she already has and just like when Dezirae tried it didn't help you've known her longer than I have I just thought she might listen to you she won't even talk to me"  O'Brien says "I do not know what to say to her"  Data replies "just talk with her-- make her see reason she's going off halfcocked, not thinking this through you've worked with her for a long time she respects your opinion"  O'Brien says Data opens his mouth then closes it then pauses O'Brien stands up yanks on the bottom of his shirt and starts to walk out of the room  "perhaps...."  Data says O'Brien turns and looks at him "she has not fully analyzed her decision I will try"  Data continues O'Brien lets out a short relieved breath then replies "thank you, sir I won't forget this"  then with a small smile he walks out of the room and Dezirae walks into it saying goodbye to O'Brien as he leaves Dezirae walks over to Data, sits on the edge of his desk and slides her cupped fingers down his uniform shirt as she says softly "that was nice of you"  Data looks up at her and replies "I would like to try it on my own this time"  she lowers her hand and lays it flat on the edge of the desk as she says "of course Data I just.... I didn't like hearing her speak to you that way!.... it shouldn't be up to you to fix everyone's problems.... sometimes they have to learn to attempt to fix them themselves before asking for assistance not just expect someone to do it outright for them.... things don't always work out the way they want when they make someone else do their work for them"  Data looks at her then down at her hand he gently cups her fingers in his hand then raises her hand up to his lips and kisses the back of her hand which makes her smile which is what he wanted to see what he wasn't expecting is for her to lean forward and kiss his lips once they leave her hand but he didn't mind the "change" in fact he quite enjoyed it especially when it continued and turned into something.... deeper.... as she straddles herself onto his lap his work forgotten as her tongue joined the fray and played with his own once his lips granted it entry into his mouth and her hands massaged the fabric of his uniform shirt without touching his communicator his hands slid up her back and into her hair as his lips left hers and traveled up her cheek to her ear and gently started to nibble her lobe making her body quiver softly normally he would have wondered if she didn't like that but out of everyone he learned to read her body the best and so he knew that she did indeed enjoy every movement his lips, teeth and hands made especially when one of his hands slid into her pants and over her bud and the other started to fondle her breast and erect nipple in a playfully teasing yet erotically pleasurable way.... he did enjoy hearing her soft musically erotic moans but he had a "mission" to help his friends see the "error" of their ways so their love making was cut short as she "allowed" him to leave so he could do as he promised to try to do and even though she was somewhat sedated they were both disappointed that their pleasure was cut short by his "need" to fulfill his duty to his friends which she understood better than most would perhaps she would be the one he marries just like in the hologrammed life she told him Riker had gone through not too long ago he would have to consider thinking about it....
