Posted by Lieutenant Alita Claire (Chief Security Officer) in Dinner with Remy
Some part of Alita had been preparing for this dinner since the moment she had sat in the ready room and looked up into her new Captain’s eyes. Everything in her universe had changed since then but the three Cajun gumbos sitting on the serving cart were destined to happen. So were the other dishes and everything neatly tucked away in the shoulder bag.

Alita checked again to make certain he was in his quarters and carefully wheeled down the corridor.

Several people glanced as she passed by. Diaz stepped out of his quarters and smiled, “Hey boss, that’s a lot for poker night. Thanks.” he said enthusiastically.

Alita paused and shook her head, her dark hair brushing the cream colored shoulders of her blouse.

“Not tonight Eddie. Take the tray on the bottom and count me out.”

Eddie took the tray and gave his boss another once over before stepping back into his quarters as Alita silently walked away only to step out of the lift seconds later and ring Remy’s chime.

A few moments later, Remy answered the door. He had previously just finished a workout and was exiting the shower when he heard the chime. So, when he answered the door, Alita would be surprised to see her captain with a towel wrapped around his waist and another draped over his shoulders revealing the well-developed and solid upper body that belonged to Remy. His tousled hair still damp from the shower. He smiled to her as he opened the door.

“‘Lita, what a pleasant surprise. What brings you. . . . ” He stopped and sniffed the air and then noticed the food cart behind her. “Boo, am I smelline what I tink I am smelline?”

Alita paused for a few seconds longer than was necessary before answering Remy which was not the way she wanted to start the evening.

“Probably. I have three different types of gumbo here, a rediculously decadent bread pudding, and a salad so I can pretend all oft his won’t got to my hips in the morning. And I’m sure you can guess what’s in the shoulder bag.” she said pausing and smiling a bit.

“May I come in?”

Alita was definitely dressed for off duty. She had left the silver hair sticks at home and her dark hair draped long to her shoulders. She wore a cream colored sleeveless blouse with a deep v-neck and a short black wrap skirt with three textured brass buttons on the side, and heels a bit higher than normal. The fact that there was no real color in her blouse intensified the green of her eyes and made the sparkles they were known for pop a bit more than usual.
