“Mmmm,” she said, almost wistfully, her lips still tingling. “Well, on one hand I love surprises when I’m the one doing the surprising, and I’m exceptionally patient, on the other hand, it is you and that must mean something good. So…”-she rested on arm along the crook of his neck, her fingers stroking his hair-“call me too curious for my own good and I’ll have my surprise now.”

Micah grinned and reached into his pocket, pulling out the small rod with little studs on it he had used to open the hatch. “Here.” he said and put it in her hand.”I know ya ain’t the kind to take to being stuck somewhere without an exit well, so thats yours for the next few weeks. You wanna leave, you press right here -” and he set her finger on the top most stud, “-and that gets you in. Right here gets you right back to the shuttle port.” and he pointed to an icon on the display that had a note stuck next to it that read ‘See ya around the galaxy…’.

As her fingers slipped around the rod, Shara felt a strange feeling in the pit of her stomach. She couldn’t explain it but it was definitely unsettling. And at the same time there was a sense of comfort and gratitude. He understood her.

He looked at her and said “I ain’t never brought nobody here. And I ain’t lookin’ ta bring anyone else but you. Don’t ask me why, ‘cause I can’t explain it an’ I ain’t gonna start tryin’. But know that my house is yours… as long as she you want it. ‘K?”

Her stone-washed blue eyes gazed at him deeply. “You are the most singularly surprising man I’ve met in a very long time Micah.” She waved the rod. “I don’t think this is necessary but I appreciate the gesture.” She slipped back into the co-pilot’s seat. “Now, you promised me coffee but it better be damn good because hunny it’s time to make good on that promise,” she said with a grin as she looked out the viewer.

“Well, Vanessa has a little junk in the trunk, so if you flip this switch right’chere…” and he flipped a toggle switch at the base of the astrometrics station, “… then you’ll get a bird’s eye view of our little vacation spot.”

When he flipped the switch, the HUD display shut down and the deuterium cover over the outside of the windshield slid down, and they could see tree covered rolling hills and the mountains of Tennessee. And a few miles ahead of them there was a clearing, and nestled in the trees was a wood cabin… but a very nice one. A wraparound covered porch circled the two story structure, and large bay windows graced one of the rooms on the second story. On the roof was a sitting area with a table and chairs. The clearing had plenty of room for the ship, and Micah settled it expertly on the ground near the house but far enough away to not block any views… hatch facing the house, of course. As the ship powerd down, Micah said “Oh, I need you to recite the Federation Standard alphabet and then say my name. For the security system’s voice recognition.”

Shara smirked, his comments drawing her attention away from the lovely vista. The ‘cabin’ was at least twice as large as the house on Tracken and yet it had a cozy look about it. It was vey much her kind of place. “Admit it, you just like hearing me say your name with whatever slight accent I want to adopt that day.” It was the perk of having learned so many languages, as he had too, and she’d have to be mindful of which one she used for the security system.

She recited the alphabet and then gazed at him deeply before saying, “Micah Pickelsimer,” with her even base tone of voice. But Shara leaned towards him, dropped her voice a little and with the slight husk she had when she sang, she whispered, “Micah Pickelsimer.”

Micah grinned and said “Mmmm… say it again, babe.” and he wrapped his arms around her and pulled her over and onto his lap. Before she could, he kissed her… long, deep, and full of promise of much more. He slowly pulled away and said “Now here’s where I get torn. ‘Cause I got a great bed right back there… and a great one in the house. Maybe we should try a comparison?” and his eyes roamed unabashedly over her body. “Just for scientific curiosity sake?” and he grinned at her.
