Napoleon could feel Olivia waking up as she had her leg curled up to him. He whispers to her, "I love you. You were incredible last night."

Olivia stretched a little as she slowly moved her leg between Napoleon's legs. 'We did things that I hadn't done in a long time," Olivia replied. "Did you get much sleep?"

"We sure did," Napoleon smiled. "You were so limber and the way you moved is fluidly. As far as sleep, I slept hard for about five hours which I have not done in a very long time. I sure hope this is not a one time thing because I am in love with you. I forsee we might eventually be sharing the same quarters."

Olivia smiled a little as she continued to lightly move her leg between Napoleon's legs. "Just have to wait and see where things go for the both of us over time," Olivia said. "Just remember you still have time check out some of the other single ladies onboard before making a final decision on who to start seeing on a regular basis."

"But wouldn't that break your heart," Napoleon asks. "I would never want to be the cause of one tear you fall from thy eye. But you are right. We shall see how this goes. You must have really been in love with someone for you to be do cautious. What was he like?"

"You wouldn't be breaking my heart should there be someone else to come along at some point to catch your eye in the near future," Olivia said. "I was in love with him and thought he felt the same about me. We met while at the Academy and dated all through our first duty station together before we got sent to different duty stations after that. He was a marine during all that time. We had lost touch with one another until we both got assigned here on the Elysium and meet up again. This time around though he had transferred over into Intel. I thought things were going good until he suddenly disappeared on me without warning or so much as a word that he was having to leave after we had just gotten back together."

"He sure is missing out," Napoleon sighed. "Maybe it is the endorphins the reason I am feeling like this. I will know in a few days. So maybe every other night we can have a date and we can save the passion for the Quarters?"

"There was a lot that he and I missed out on by not being together," Olivia replied. "We could try the every other night, but what if one of us ends up having to work late one night or end up pulling a night shift?"

"Well if we can be flexible like you were last night," Napoleon says stroking her face with his fingers expressing his love for her by his mere touch, "We can make this work. There might be some weeks where we are only able to have one night while there might be some weeks where we might wind up doing it every day. I just do not want our relationship be based upon making love all the time. There might be some nights where we might just want to relax, hold hands, whisper and gaze at the stars. Let's let our love and friendship grow over time. If one day if we go our mutual ways, our friendship will last a lifetime."

Napoleon sealed his proposal with a very romantic loving caring kiss as his words and feelings were as firm as his kiss. "Does that work for you?"

"That works," Olivia replied. "Main thing is to check out all possible options. Never know who may end up coming along at some point down the road."

Napoleon sighed. He thought to himself there must be some logical reason she was saying all of this besides the obvious reason she was right. He hoped it was not for the reason she was a joined Trill and she could find herself as a he and non Trills would not understand.

The two of them got ready for work exchanging kisses and smiles. They talked some more as they were on the same page before he left her quarters. Napoleon set up the next date which would be the day after tomorrow where the two of them would enjoy each other's time in a holoprogram of her choosing.

Napoleon did tell her he loved her before he left.

In Engineering, Victor was reading requests Chiefs were sending to Engineering. There were some requests which required Napoleon's expertise on setting up systems to have the ship run more efficiently like what Napoleon did for the Botanists.

Napoleon walked in smiling and feeling very perky than he had in quiet some time. "Good morning Sir," he said. "It is going to be a wonderful day."

Victor studied Napoleon for a moment. "I take it you had a very nice date last night with Olivia?"

"Sure did," Victor replied. "I recommend the restaurant for you to take Tonya to in the future. The atmosphere and aviance is very romantic. Not a place for you to take Lara and Vick to if you catch my drift."

"I understand and I hope to take Tonya there in the future," Victor answers as he pauses for a brief moment....... "Tonya and I are taking it slow. If it was up to me, I would try to get to third base with her. She is worth it."

"Victor," Napoleon asks, "What is third base?"

"If you ever played baseball," Victor grinned, "First base is a friendly kiss. Second base is more than just a friendly kiss. Third base is you make out. Home plate would mean you two did it and you are in absolute love."

Napoleon grinned because with this analogy, he hit a home run last night kind of because he was in love with her but she was not yet but decided not to brag. "Well I hope you two find the love you are seeking."
