"You know there is a word for people like you Lieutenant..."

Allison looked up from her PADD and at James who was standing in front of her with two drinks in his hand. She assumed that one of them was for her and smiled at him.

James returned the smile and extended his hand with her drink. She took it from him and quickly took a sip. She looked inside the glass with a smile then looked up at him. "My favorite..."

"I know..." James responded as he took a seat across from her.

She placed the glass on the table in front of her and the PADD right next to it. Then she leaned back in the seat crossing her legs and looked at him. "So, what is this word you mentioned Chief...?"

"I think you already know Lieutenant." James responded with a grin on his face as he sipped at his drink. His eyes never left her.

"Oh, I do?" She titled her head to the side with a puzzled look on her face.

He nodded. "Yes, you know it very well."

She shook her head. "I don't think so."

"You just want me to say it..." He placed the glass on the table.

"I can make it an order...." She said it with a smile on her face.

"You would pull rank on me...Lieutenant." James shook his head and laughed.

"What good is rank if you aren't going to use it?" She asked as she grabbed her drink from the table and took another sip of it.

"You have a point." James honestly didn't have any way of defending himself there. She was right.

"It's pretty cute how you think I am joking..." She said with a serious look on her face.

James titled his head to the side. He wasn't exactly sure if she was joking or if she was serious. She could be very serious when she wanted too and could play it off rather well.

"I'm waiting..."

"Bridge to Chief Munro..."

"Munro here..." James responded.

"We need you in the transporter room right away."

"What's wrong?" James asked.

"There seems to be some kind of a problem with the transporter buffer..."

"Ugh...again..."

"Yes, unfortunately Chief..."

"I'm on my way." James responded and looked to Morgan. "I'm sorry Lieutenant, but duty calls." He smiled at her as he stood up from the table. "I will talk to you later."

Morgan shook her head as she sipped at her drink. It almost looked like a set up. He was saved this time but she would make him sweat again. It was always a fun time. Morgan titled her glass at him as he left Ten Forward. She grabbed the PADD off the table and returned to her work.
