Jeremy spent most of the evening pacing across the small room he called home, waiting until the hour Annie had said she’d be free.
When it was five minutes until the allotted time, he decided that he could wait no longer and made his way down the corridor to her room.
<Annie, are you done? This is important. I need to show it to you.>
<You’re early, Jere,> Annie’s tone was laced with annoyance and something else that he couldn’t pin down. <I’m…not done cleaning up yet.>
<Stars, Annie, I’ve seen your place when it was half-covered in food, bottles, and rainbow glitter. Let me in, I’ll help you tidy things.>
<Almost done anyway. Just a minute, getting dressed.>
He could tell that was as far as she was going to budge, and leant against the bulkhead, waving idly at a pair of women who walked by, both giving him knowing looks.
If only they knew what we were really up to in there, he thought with a laugh.
Jeremy had lost himself in the code he was working on by the time Annie opened the door; he didn’t even notice her until she whispered in his ear, “And here you were in such a rush, loverboy.”
The unexpected statement caused Jeremy to jump, and he whipped his head around to see Annie’s eyes mere centimeters from his own. She smiled and glanced to the right where Par and two other members of the crew were walking by.
“Booyah, Jere!” Par called out over his shoulder, throwing a fist in the air, and Jeremy felt his face redden.
Luckily, Annie wrapped a hand around his arm and pulled him into her room before he could say anything stupid.
“You were really out of it, there,” she said as the door closed, her demeanor instantly losing the sensual intimacy it had oozed a moment earlier.
“Uh…yeah,” Jeremy managed to stammer out. “Just deep in code.”
Annie gestured for him to take a seat at her small table while she walked to her counter and began to prepare a pot of coffee. “You’ve seemed like you’re going to crawl out of your skin all day. I take it you made a breakthrough?”
Jeremy shifted in his seat to watch her and suddenly realized that Annie was wearing a tight, sleeveless shirt that only came to the top of her thighs…and nothing else. She bent over, and his focus on the drive control system evaporated. He swallowed, desperately trying to recall the explanation he’d prepared.
At his silence, Annie turned to face him.
She suddenly blushed as she realized where he was looking. “Shit…sorry, I forgot how much this top rides up.”
“Uh…it’s OK,” Jeremy said lamely as he turned away, looking out the window at the ever-active Capeton Shipyard. “I shouldn’t have…I’m sorry.”
Annie walked over to her closet and pulled out a pair of leggings, quickly slipping into them before walking back to her kitchenette.
“OK, it’s safe to look,” she said with a laugh. “But for the record, it doesn’t bother me when you stare at my ass.
