Mike laid back on the bed and put his hands behind his head and laughed, looking at the ceiling. “The Ambassador, huh? Don’t think I’ve ever had an Ambassador as a groupie. Now that would be one for the memoir.” and he laughed again. He looked at Revna and said more seriously. “Hey. I am sorry. I honestly thought a lot of the hub-bub had died off. If I’d had known people would throw such a fit, I’d probably have just put on space suit and serenaded you outside the window.”

Mike ‘Reluctant Celebrity / Eager Husband’ Mckenzie

Revna finished off the piece of toast and orange juice in front of her. “And a Vulcan ambassador at that.” She got up with a grin, and slipped the robe off, now in his overly long shirt. She laid down next to him, hand across his chest, chin on her hands and looked at him. “I don’t mind at all. It was incredible and I wouldn’t change any of it. I mean, honestly Mardusk told me you were that Mike behind FedSec Fascists. I look at you and see you. The man I love, the better half of me. You have an amazing gift Mike, I don’t want you to apologize for it. Besides if you were in a space suit I couldn’t have kissed you.” She reached up and kisses him quickly on the lips. “Okay?”
Revna, be famous or not just as long as I’m with you

“Okay… Mrs. McKenzie.” he said and kissed her for a long, long time. Finally coming up for air, he smiled at her and said “You know that sister of yours will burn down my bar if she sees that vid before you tell her that you tied me up and forced me into matrimony.” and he laughed.

Mike ‘Spacesuit Serenade’ McKenzie

He might have come up for air but Revna wasn’t quite finished kissing him yet, but she sighed and curled up in his arms. “Yeah she might. Or she might decide to burn it down when she finds out she didn’t get to be here for the wedding. Either way I might should tell D’Vash to go run interference. Take him and Mardusk both to stop her stealing a shuttle.” Her hand smoothed over his forearm and up over his shoulder and then rested on his chest. She kissed him right over his heart, and then sighed. “So you want me to tell her now or still wait till tomorrow? And it’s not her you need to worry about. If Devlin sees that vid the whole island is going to know.”
Mrs McKenzie, are you prepared for an army of Vikings?

Mike sighed and said “Go ahead and call her… and your family. Might as well get out ahead of it while we can. And I actually have a call to make, too.” and he looked at her and grinned.

“Maybe in an hour, though?” and he eyed her up and down with a mischievous grin.

Mike ‘Vikings don’t scare me, but your sister does’ McKenzie

Revna eyed him, her eyes smoldering and then she started to kiss him, long and languid. Then she sighed, “Oh fine. An hour.” She got up and picked up a PaDD and curled up on the couch, leaving the desk console for him. She spent several minutes tapping and swiping and then with a final tap she set the PaDD down with a wicked grin. She walked over to the food and made a bowl of citrus fruits. Then back into one of the storage bins she pulled out a bottle of Edman mead, 2359. It needed to chill…

The PaDD beeped about 30 minutes later, Revna picked it up with a huge grin on her face. She answered the call and the first thing they hear is “Tell Mike I get free drinks now!” Revna chuckled softly. “Hi to you too Runa. Please tell me the bar is still standing.” Runa grinned, “Of course it is. How else was I going to get Mike to go out there after you. He’s family, has been since Devlin gave him the mead, you two just didn’t know it.” Runa gave her sister a good once over, the messed hair and what was obviously Mike’s shirt. “Are you happy?” Revna glanced over at Mike and back, “Yeah I’m happy, Runa. Oh…ummm…there’s something you should see.” Revna tapped the screen a couple more times and Runa was quiet she watched the vids from the bar. Runa didn’t have to say anything for Revna to know what she thought, but with a huge grin she looked back at Revna, fanning her face, “Well that was hot,” and then she got really serious. “I want to talk to Mike.” Revna glanced around, “He had to make a call too.” Runa nodded, “Tell him to expect one from me. I’ll call mom and dad. You, sweetie, should be focused totally on that big scott of yours. Just make sure you call them before the Manhattan leaves dock, okay? Elsker deg Revna, trygge tidsskrifter (Love you, Revna, safe journies).” Revna grinned, “Elsker deg Runa.” She hung up and put the PaDD aside. She put her head back and closed her eyes, a smile on her face.

Mike would get a message from Runa, short, sweet, and to the point. “Thank you, my brother.”

Revna, see she’s not so bad…most of the time
