Chapter 11

It was Friday night, and I kind of hoped this date would last all the way until he had to work on Sunday, just like last week. I’d missed him all week. If not for my propensity for being a workaholic, I’d have probably called him and bugged him too much. Or at least, I’d have wanted too. Not that I hadn’t gotten to talk to him, he called me three times during the week, usually to chat an hour or so before his shift, and I might’ve dialed his number a few times as well.

Of course, by Sunday afternoon all three of my ships would be completely built, and finally up to spec, so I could take another look and see what else might be improved. I wasn’t in that much of a hurry to find anything better, I was more interested in improving what we had, and better understanding the subspace layer we were encroaching on and how it interacted with this one. I imagined the next step was to go a layer deeper, although I didn’t see reason why we should even try right now.

Kristi would be coming back Monday morning as well. I’d finally decided to leave a message with her A.I. who would fill her in on the goings on right before she left the cruise ship. She’ll probably be pissed I didn’t tell her about the issues, or that I’d been threatened, but I didn’t want to ruin her honeymoon. She only got one of those in her lifetime, hopefully anyway.

So my boy crazy side wanted this weekend to last forever, and my inner geek and the part that missed Kristi couldn’t wait until it was over. I tried to get all of that out of my system, so I could be present and enjoy the weekend. Perhaps I was counting chickens, but I didn’t believe he would mind at all. If he sent me home tonight after our date, I’d have to turn in my soul reading card and become a nun. Still, things were moving fast, at least in my head. I wasn’t sure what he was thinking about, but I knew how he felt at least.

We were going to dinner, and then he was taking me dancing, but not at the usual kind of clubs I go to. Think two-step dancing in a night club that plays country music, it’s a Texas thing, and a lot of fun.

I had my protective bustier on, and a pair of light brown calf high boots that ended just a few inches below the knees. I slipped on a black dress that wasn’t quite skin tight, but was certainly clingy from breast to hips with a flared skirt that reached my mid-thigh, and it also had random white designs on it. I put on a touch of makeup, and then went from my bedroom down to the mini-landing bay and got in my sport’s shuttle.

“Let’s go Al.”

Al replied, “One moment, there is another clearance delay.
