And The Morning After

Posted on Fri Aug 13th, 2021 @ 4:15am by Captain Calypso Skyie & Lieutenant Commander Tyler Driskill

Mission: The Boneyard Heist
Location: Cally's Quarters

Tyler was the first awake, he checked a clock on the bedside table and it was about an hour before the alarm went off. He was wide awake and feeling great after the night with Cally. What they had done was totally unacceptable and they would never be able to speak of it in public. A cup of coffee and some work out clothes were in order. Tyler did the walk of shame from Calypso's quarters to his own, which didn't take long.

During his shower all Tyler could think of was last night. He made fast work of the shower and was headed back to Cally's quarters after checking the computer logs for her typical morning beverage. "Good morning" he sat down with her drink of choice and smiled.

Cally groaned slightly, but an eye perked open at the smell of the mocha cappuccino and a hand snaked out from under the covers to relieve him of his liquid burden and she showed her flexibility as she turned onto her back and shimmied up to a sitting position without spilling anything and even taking a sip from it in the process, "What time is it?" She asked, shuddering from the chocolatey goodness.

"Five-thirty" he took a sip from his half empty coffee cup "I was gonna see if you wanted to take a jog together?" Tyler asked knowing none of the off ship crew would arrive until just after eight.

“I know I was a marine, but it doesn’t mean I like running.” She stuck her tongue out at him, “I’m a swimmer, not a runner, it works more muscles and gives a far better workout and you don’t have to sweat while keeping cooler!” She took a solid gulp of her semi-coffee, it was the perfect temperature since it obviously had cooled in transit and it still provided plenty of caffeine. She reached out and placed a hand on his leg, “But, you know, we need to have a bit of a talk before you go running away.”

Tyler smiled and put his hand on top of hers. He took another sip of his coffee and asked "oh?" raising his eyebrows as he did.

“Last night? We can never do that again.” Calypso smiled warmly, squeezing his upper thigh gently, “You know how it is, chain of command and all, regulations and such. Don’t get me wrong, It. Was. Great. But while we,” She gestured with her cup between the two of them, “Know that it won’t affect how we handle situations or anything, the rest of the crew would have other thoughts, plus what would an admiral say?” She took another deep drink from the cup.

He looked down at his cup with a look of shame, Tyler knew Calypso was right, but he also knew last night was great. However the First Officer looked up at her and gave a nod and smile "I know" was all he said staring into her eyes.

She smiled up at him and scrunched her nose slightly as she put her mocha on her nightstand, “Cheer up, Tyler, it’s not all that bad, it does show we can work together as a team doesn’t it?” Cally chuckled at the thought, “Besides, with the rest of the crew on board soon, someone would notice and then we’d be in for it.”

Driskill leaned over and kissed Cally "we do work very well as a team" he said with a smile on his face. That was probably the last time he would kiss her, he was used to hook ups with ladies. So Tyler guessed this was no different other then it was his new boss.

Her arms wrapped around him again and pulled him to her as she kissed him again, covers falling off her as she did so. Twenty minutes later, her head was resting on his bare chest as she squeezed him tight in her arms again and Cally’s eyes popped open wide as she realized what had just happened… Again. “Well, shit.”
