Blake was working in sickbay tending to a new case of acute dispesia "just heart burn" he said to an ensign who was worried he sevear heart failure, when his console began beeping looking over he smiled as he noted that it was from the Captain
"hear, just take this" he said handing the ensign a hypo full of anti heart burn medication "three times a week for two weeks then one time per week until its out" he said "and your cleared to go" he said as the Ensign gave a heavy sigh of relief. turning to the console he read the message about dinner smiling he typed back "you have the cookery in your quarters" he said "your place" he added wondering what it looked like inside the captains quarters "send" he said to the computer which chirped in response
From her seat on the bridge, Zania smiled as she saw the response come through from the doctor. She turned to one of the other officers on the bridge and informed him, “I’m going to head to my quarters for the evening. You have the bridge.”
With that, she got up and started to head to the turbolift. The doors slid open and she stepped inside. “Deck 3,” she announced, watching as the doors closed. She was definitely looking forward to spending the time with Blake, as it would provide a bit of a break within this time of tension.
Blake smiled to himself as he recieved confirmation that the message had been recieved, still smiling he looked around, spotted the acting assistant chief of medical and said "i'm heading for the haystack early, contact me if any medical emergancies arise" he said then adding. "ermm that's any medical emergancies that don't involve heart burn, acid, indigestion, upset stomach, or umm...diarrhea" he said stepping aside to let a running crewman by and tried to hold back a laugh as he turned towards the lavatory to use the toilet "I think I may have to ask that the replicators be checked" he thought to himself as he headed to his quarters to change into something comfortable for the evening
Stepping into a TL he announced "deck 6" and arriving a few moments later to his quarters he took a sonic shower and picked out some vulcan robes and vest both were red with a gold/greenish trim that seemed to match his eyes and hair stepping out of his quarters a few minutes later he walked towards the TL and entering said "deck 3"
After the turbolift stopped on the deck where her quarters was located, she exited the car and quickly made her way to her room. In some ways, she didn’t know how some other Captains did it. They often had time to relax within their quarters, and get a bit of time to themselves . . . but with Captain Ja’arda, she seemed to be constantly on the move. Her crew often needed her, and she was always honored to oblige them. They were very important to her, and meant a lot to her . . . not only as part of the crew, but really as a family in a sense.
After entering inside, she quickly changed out of her uniform into something more relaxing. It was a blue outfit, which accentuated her figure. The garment almost seemed to have a top layer that shimmered with a golden hue, almost making it look like it moved with her. The skirt showed a lot more of this highlight, and hung around her legs like a fine silk.
She started to set the table in anticipation of Blake’s arrival . . . and the romantic dinner they would share tonight.
The turbolift came to a halt on deck three and the doors swooshed open, stepping out he made a right, left, another right and did a left face and came to a stop in front of the captain's quarters cracking his knuckles slightly out of nerves he rang the chime and waited for an answer
She looked up the moment she heard the chime, a bit of a smile appearing upon her lips. “Enter.”
Blake smiled to himself hearing the words and pushed the button again to open the doors "looks, different' he said entering the room and looking around bit "are those new drapes?" he asked noting the difference in color from the standard quarters on a ship "the privliages of a starship captain" he said with a teasing smile
“You have a good eye,” she pointed out with a knowing smile as she walked over to the entryway to greet him. “It’s not much, really, but I did try to add a few personal touches to make the quarters seem a bit more comfortable while I’m on board the Zealous.”
Blake nodded in response and said "well lets hope my sight doesn't fail in age" he said with a small laugh "shall we?" he asked offering her his arm while nodding to the table that she had been setting
“Of course,” she Zania said with a smile, walking over to the table. The candles on it were lit and presented a very soft glow, while a decorative water fountain, on a nearby coffee table, gently bathed the rocks that were part of it within the clear liquid. It added for a very nice, relaxing, and romantic atmosphere.
“So, any preference for a meal choice for tonight? It may not be home made . . . but it’ll be as good as we can get it from the replicator,” she giggled.
"oh nothing so extravegant" he said " i'll have what you're having" he said "after all you made...err replicated the food " he said with a laugh
She grinned when she heard his laugh, and then walked over to the replicator. For a moment, she thought about it, hoping to select a dish that they could share together. When she couldn’t think of one offhand, she decided on one that stood out as a favorite of many cadets at the academy . . . even if it wasn’t very romantic.
“Computer, one large pizza with cheese, sausage, and pepperoni.”
She watched as the light within the open area of the replicator shimmered, and the food appeared on a plate. The smells that started to waft from it practically made her stomach growl. Grabbing the pan, she walked over to the table and set it down in front of the two of them.
“Not very romantic, but at least it’s something we can both share,” she grinned.
Blake gave out a chortle and said "actually its very romantic" he said "why I've haven't had pizza since I attended McGregor Middle School for Medical Advancement" he said "that was...almost 18 years ago" he added letting out a small laugh
Blake’s laughter brought a huge smile to her face as she took a seat across the table from him. She grabbed one of the slices of pizza, which was steaming hot, and quickly put it down on her plate, licking her fingers to try and cool them off.
“I guess I didn’t realize how hot that was,” she laughed slightly.
Blake looked at her and said "let me have a look see" he said after grabbing himself a slice ignoring his own slightly burnt fingers
She reached her hand out to where Blake could take a look at it, smiling at his thoughtfulness and how gentle he was. Her eyes practically sparkled, and a warmth seemed to radiate through her as she watched him.
Blake grabbed hold of her hand inspected it looking at it he declared it a minor burn, then notcing that she had missed some of the sauce from the pizza he placed his mouth on the finger and licked it clean "there?" he said withdrawing from the lick and looking at her, a sudden peace covering him
She watched as he sucked the pizza sauce off of one of her fingers. That was an extremely romantic gesture, and showed just how far their relationship had been proceeding. “Hmmm . . . maybe I should do that more often,” she giggled a bit. “Or, we could always do something else too.”
She wondered if he was picking up what she meant by that, which would involve both of their lips and mouths.
"I think I'd like that" he said chuckling right along with her and smiling even more. "Zania" he said looking at her... "who ever is out there, I thank the heavens they've brought you to me" he said "I feel as if we're the two main characters from the holonovel Helen of Troy" he said
“I feel the same way, almost as if those that I’ve been with before have helped me to grow and love even more, leading me to eventually be with you. I do believe that it was fate, destiny, or some other power that guided us together, and I’m glad that it did,” Azanialix smiled at him.
Blake smiled "well...that something else you mentioned" he said smiling still "what did you have planned?" he asked
She couldn’t help but to smile a bit as she got up from her seat, and walked around the table to where he was sitting. She leaned in and gave him a deep, passionate kiss upon the lips.
Blake looked stunned at first but then quickly gave in to the kiss and returned the passion "I think... thats a wonderful plan" he said smiling
The Betazoid smiled as she felt Blake return the kiss with passion after his initial stun from it. “Why don’t we eat first, and then we can go back to desert,” she suggested after the kiss had broken.
"ermm...sure" he said woundering what desert would be like
She gave him another kiss upon the lips, and then moved back to her seat so they could eat a bit before they’d get into their desert. She really loved being with Blake like this, and every moment she spent with him, she was falling more and more in love with him.
Blake smiled at the kiss and started in on the pizza "interesting" he said savoring the flavors "it tastes different after many years without eating it" he said
She took a slice off her plate and lifted it to her mouth, taking a bite. She closed her eyes as the flavors danced upon her tongue as she began to chew it. “This is actually the first time I’m having this, and it actually tastes wonderful,” she mentioned.
Blake laughed and said "the first time?" "guess each starfleet program is different" he said "of course, there was that one time in starfleet medical when one of the cadets swelled up after eating the pizza...apparently he was allergic to it" he said
The Captain nodded. “Yes, this is the first time,” she grinned, and then listened to what he said about an instance at Starfleet medical with a guy that turned out to be allergic to the pizza. “Well, in case if I swell up, I’m glad there’s a doctor in the house . . . or rather, my quarters,” she smiled gently at him.
Blake grinned glad he hadn't finished the story... "it was a shame too" he said instead and finishing a slice added "who would've though a single slice can fill a man up" he added "guess as we get older, our stomach cannot take out the foods from our youth" he said
Zania finished eating the slice that was on her plate and smiled, “For some, maybe, but I think if we’re conscious of any food allergies or ailments, I think we can enjoy a vast variety of foods for as long as we live . . . even ones from our youth, or remind us of it.”
"mmmm, so true" he said "so...what is for desert" he said "I know of two things that can go well after dinner" he said "and one of them is food" he added
“Why don’t we find out . . . together?” Azanialix suggested as she got up from her seat and walked over to where Blake was sitting.
"I think I might enjoy that" he said looking at her, reaching his arm out to
