Fernando sat in his quarters string vacantly at the aquarium mounted on the wall. The one he and Mona had gotten. She had gotten
the fish and he had rigged up the lighting. Now Mona was gone. She had been transferred, So quick was the transfer, they didn't even
get a chance to say good bye. She had left him a note, thanking him for the good times they shared and saying she would never forget
him. Her closing line made his heart ache She had said "I Love You" and then literally place a kiss on it with her lipstick.

He was in a word devastated. His world had crumbled and lay in ruins around his feet. He was no longer bubbly with a smile on his face.
Now he was quiet and withdrawn barely speaking at all.

Then he heard Mona's voice in his head. *Hey shape up Fernando! Don't be a Grumpy Gus I'm not really gone as long as you remember me. So get rid of that grumpy face and smile! Remember I love you.*

A smile crossed his face and he had to agree Mona was right. He still had his memories of all their times together. No one could ever take that from him.
He got up, stripped down to just his boxers and a shirt. He grabbed a vase to use as a microphone. "Computer play Do Ya Think I'm Sexy? By that rock icon Rod Stewart." A song that always brought a smile to Mona's face as well as laughter when she would watch him jump around the room gyrating his hips in time to the music, Moments later the catching tune was blaring in his quarters (Thank goodness they were soundproof) and starting slow but soon gyrating his hips and singing along Fernando De La Rosa danced. He danced in his mind to the memory of Mona and all she had taught him about love and life. He danced as he had never danced before as tears streamed down his face. "I love you Mona" He whispered to the wall. "Now and forever."

Sugar, sugar

She sits alone waiting for suggestions
He's so nervous avoiding all the questions
His lips are dry, her heart is gently pounding
Don't you just know exactly what they're thinking

If you want my body and you think I'm sexy
Come on sugar let me know
If you really need me just reach out and touch me
Come on honey tell me so
Tell me so baby

He's acting shy looking for an answer
Come on honey let's spend the night together
Now hold on a minute before we go much further
Give me a dime so I can phone my mother
They catch a cab to his high rise apartment
At last he can tell her exactly what his heart meant

If you want my body and you think I'm sexy
Come on honey tell me so
If you really need me just reach out and touch me
Come on sugar let me know


His heart's beating like a drum
'cos at last he's got this girl home
Relax baby now we are all alone


They wake at dawn 'cos all the birds are singing
Two total strangers but that ain't what they're thinking
Outside it's cold, misty and it's raining
They got each other neither one's complaining
He say's I'm sorry but I'm out of milk and coffee
Never mind my sugar we can watch the early movie

If you want my body and you think I'm sexy
Come on sugar let me know
If you really need me just reach out and touch me
Come on honey tell me so

If you really need me just reach out and touch me
Come on sugar let me know
If you really, really, really, really need me
Just let me know
Just reach out and touch me
If you really want me
Just reach out and touch me
Come on sugar let me know
If you really need me just reach out and touch me
Come on sugar let me know
If you, if you, if you really need me
Just come on and tell me so
