Location: USS Calypso - Deck 10 - Lounge
Timeline: Current
[USS Calypso - Deck 10 - Lounge]
Morgan was the first one to arrive at the lounge for her dinner date with James. It wasn't really a date but more of a dinner with an old friend. It had been a while since she had talked to James so there were a lot of things both of them had to catch up on. She wore a pair of tight jeans that hugged her legs and figure rather well. She matched the jeans with a pair of black high heels and to top it off she wore a house blouse that had a v neck that showed her cleavage a lot more than anything else she had. For a friendly date between two friends she sure was dressed like she was going on an actual date. She made her way to a table in the corner of the room and sat down to wait for James.
She ordered a glass of Bajoran spring wine. As she waited for both James and her drink to arrive she took a moment to scan the room. She started at one end and move over to the other side when she noticed something a bit out of place. It was the Chief with an Orion female sitting at a table sharing drinks. That was rather curious. He was ready to drill James for flirting outright with the woman and yet here he was sharing drinks. The wine arrived and she took a sip while watching the two at the table talk.
James was running late and he knew it. He didn't wear anything special, but a pair of jeans with a black short sleeve button up shirt and a pair of black shoes. He rushed into the lounge and headed over for the table as soon as he noticed Morgan. He was breathing heavy as if he had been running. The truth was that he had been running. He stopped at the table, trying to catch his breath. "I'm sorry....I'm late..."
Morgan looked up at him with a smile and shook her head. "No worries just have a seat and we will order something for you to drink."
"Alright." James responded with a smile. He took a moment as he walked around the table to the seat across from her noticing what she was dressed in. He couldn't help but admire the beauty that she was. He was enjoying this assignment already; a lot of very attractive women were aboard this vessel. He went to grab the chair across from her when he noticed Morgan shaking her head and motioning for him to sit at a different chair. He was puzzled by her actions but didn't complain as he moved into a chair she wanted him too.
Morgan looked at him and smiled. She picked up her glass and took a sip. As she brought the glass away from her lips she motioned for him to look in the direction of where Tovan and Shalie were sitting. She didn't say anything else but waited to see his reaction.
James once again did as she told him and looked in the direction. He was shocked by what he saw. There was the Chief with that Orion female having drinks. What the heck was going on he wondered as he saw the two. The chief didn't act like someone that would make friends quickly. He seemed all business and no play but here he was having a drink with that the Orion female. James looked at Morgan with a confused look.
Morgan laughed at his reaction and shrugged her shoulders. "I don't know honestly. I came in here and notice the two of them over there. I find it as weird as you do James."
"It's interesting really. He looked ready to yell at me in the transporter room and now he is sharing drinks with her." James said. He ordered his drink once the bartender has stopped by and then looked over at the table where Tovan was sitting.
"But that was on duty James. This is off duty." Morgan said as she placed the glass back down on the table. "But I do know what you mean. I wonder what they are talking about." She crossed her legs and leaned back in the chair.
"We can go over and ask." James looked at Morgan and laughed at his suggestion. The truth was that he was at least half serious about heading over and joining them at the table.
"Too late..." Morgan said as she watched Tovan and Shelia get up from their seats and head out of the lounge together. This was rather curious to her as well. She didn't claim to know the Chief all that well but this seemed to be out of his character that was for sure.
James quickly looked over at the table and noticed that it was empty than caught glimpse of both Tovan and Shalie as they stepped out of the lounge. "I wonder where they are going. We should follow them and see."
Morgan looked at James with weird look. She shook her head and laughed. "As fun as that sounds I don't think it's all that appropriate or necessary James. We aren't in high school anymore." She winked at him with a grin.
James sighed and grabbed his drink off the table taking a sip. "I know, but did you see her? She is something else that's for sure." He sipped at his drink.
Morgan shook her head. "Men..."
