Stunned
"Chakotay to Janeway."
Janeway took her time with answering. She only knew too well why he was calling. She forgot about their weekly dinner. Again.
She tapped her commbadge eventually but wasn't sure what to tell him.
"Janeway here."
"Captain, are you busy at the moment?"
He used her rank instead of her name she quickly realized.
*Better pass the ball on than giving in*
"Really busy, Commander. What is it?"
*As if she doesn't know. Well, if she can do it, so can I*
"Kathryn you now only too well what I want�"
He spoke her name as if he was talking to a little child that was trying to pronounce it correctly.
Kathryn looked around. People have been looking up by hearing her name being spoken in public but quickly turned their gazes back to work when Janeway carefully studied each of them.
"Chakotay," She now forgot about rank, "I have not got a clue what you're on about!"
This is gonna be fun. She is playing along.
"Well then, K-A-T-H-R-Y-N, I guess I've gotta remind ya."
He playfully lowered his voice by the last bit of the sentence as if not wanting anyone except her to hear. But actually the whole engineering crew was listening to their conversation and he only knew too well.
And so did Kathryn.
"Go on then, Commander."
Without letting anyone realize she gazed through engineering.
Everybody seemed busy but was obviously listening to them.
"Captain, I just can't believe you could forget what we were about to do. I extra 'hired' Jeffries tube 12. I got young Harry to get it cleaned up for us." Chakotay could hear her try to hide her giggles, and sharp breathes being torn in the background.
*Aha, so obviously I still have got everybody's attention. Good.*
"Oh, I am really sorry, Chakotay! How could I have forgotten? And this was supposed to be such a special evening. How can I ever make it up to you?"
Kathryn had really difficulty not to laugh out loud by now. The faces of some crewmembers were pictures!
"Oh, I could think of SOMETHING for you, Kathryn."
Chakotay was happy to be in his quarters. Like this no one could see the silly smile on his face that grew bigger by every minute.
"How about you join me in my quarters tonight?" He hesitated shortly but then added "For a change�"
This time it was Kathryn who tore a breath. What were they doing here? Her mind told her to stop this now but it was just too funny to watch her crew's faces that she couldn't get herself to stop.
Not yet anyway.
"That's a brilliant idea, Commander! How about one or two bottles of champagne?"
"Hmm, that would be lovely, but not that you get drunk on me like the last time."
One ensign that was working closest to Janeway turned from normal pink face colour into a deep red.
*That's all they can put up with?! Wait till you hear the next one!*
She chuckled before answering.
"Very well, Commander. I really don't wanna end up without any clothes on underneath your bed again."
Now it was Chakotay's turn to take a sharp breath. He thought that she would be going far, but that far?! Should he try to go further?
*Yeah!* He just couldn't resist and Kathryn seemed to have fun on the other end as well.
She never got the laugher out of her voice anyway, but probably only for him realizable.
He just knew her too well�
"Captain, I must question your memory! As far as I know you ended up WITH clothes in my bathtub!"
He made a short pause to let his words sink in and then continued.
"And THEN I helped you getting rid of them and you jumped under my bed afterwards.
That is how I remember it anyway."
Kathryn could feel the tension around her building up rapidly.
*Unbelievable how easy it is to get my crew shocked with a few spoken words. Lets finish them off now!*
"You are ever so right, Commander. But there was something else afterwards. I can't remember what�
Well, never mind.
So, do you recon we could have a reasonably quiet night tonight?"
*Come-on, Chakotay! This is the endgame�!*
He could hear the hint in her voice, but wasn't sure if she really wanted him to go any further (just a minute ago he wouldn't have thought that it was possible to go any farther as they already were!) or if he just misunderstood her. He decided to go on everything with his next comment.
"That's gonna depend on you, KATHY. The last time, I remember, you were pretty loud-" He paused. Then, as if talking to himself, "This bruises still do hurt like hell!"
Her crew was by now totally distressed. If Kathryn wouldn't know better she would have bet that some of them would actually have to see the doctor afterwards because of second-degree burns.
"I will be more careful the next time, Commander.
How about me coming over now? I am just about finished here."
"That would be lovely of you, Kathy. I am looking forward to see you in a minute."
He didn't really think she would come but could only too well imagine what his words were doing to his 'audience'.
"On my way. See you in a minute!" she said with a voice none of the crewmembers has ever heard before. And most certainly never from their Captain!
Kathryn stood up and nodded to her crew, which was now staring at her, not trying to hide their surprise and shocked looks anymore.
With a swing in her hips she left engineering leaving a totally stunned crew behind.
Chakotay himself was amazed of what just happened, but when his door chime actually chimed he was pretty sure that this was going to be a nice, more or less quiet, night�
The end???
