Talia finished her ice cream and sat back, grinning. "That was almost too good."

"No such thing." Randy replied, answering her with a similar grin. "You ready to join me for a grand ole time down in the holodeck?"

"Absolutely." She grinned broadly. She was enjoying herself far more than she'd expected and looked forward to spending more time with Randy.

Once he had heard her agree, he stood and offered her a hand up. "Well I hope you have got your dancing shoes on tonight," he told her.

She looked down at her customary flats. "I'm not so sure about that. I can change, if you want." As they'd gone to Randy's quarters after their shift, she wasn't really dressed for dancing.

"You will be fine. Neither one of us is really dressed for it, but what the heck?" Randy winked at her as they walked out the door of his quarters.

"Okay," she said, following behind. If he was fine with the way she was dressed, she wasn't going to argue. Besides, she really wanted to see if he could dance as well as he cooked.

As soon as they had the holodeck ready, Randy walked through the doors, which as soon as they opened, there was a rich Latin beat that came through the open doorway. "Are you ready for this, chica?"

"I'm ready for anything you can throw at me," she replied, grinning broadly in return.

Once she had replied, Randy took her hand and started off walking her out to the dance floor, and immediately launched into a flowing and graceful tango. He grinned as he realized that he had caught her slightly off guard, but he also noticed that she recovered both quickly and well.

He danced well. After a moment, Talia relaxed and began to enjoy herself. "Why, Mr. McGraw, you do know how to dance," she teased.

Dipping her backwards, Randy held her there for a moment before kissing her. "Why, yes I do believe that I mentioned that somewhere in our earlier discourse." He then pulled her back up, and then spun her around.

Talia was slightly breathless, whether from the kiss or the spin, she wasn't sure -- and she really didn't care. Randy was charming, fun to be with and made her feel giddy. All pluses in her book. "Yes, but you might have -- exaggerated -- a little," she teased.

"Nah, why lie when the truth is far more fun?" He said as he winked at her and then dipped her again.

"I didn't say lie, I said exaggerate." It came out in spurts, as she was trying to control her laughter.

Randy continued to chuckle as they enjoyed the night of dancing. Who knew life could be so good?
