RPG Note: Continued from the Starliner Alpha
**
"Brie, I know we have just officially got together but I need you to know, I Love You."
Stunned, Brie just sat there. She thought back to the night that she had finally admitted that Turner had died, an evening spent drinking with Skyler. Brie realized that night that Skyler was in love with her but they both knew that there was no possibility of ever having a future. She had a deep respect for Skyler and did love him, but it wasn't a romantic love. Skyler was family, and Brie hoped for him more than anything that he would find someone who could make him as happy as he deserved to be, as happy as she was now. Brie had often wondered if Skyler had fallen for her because they could never be together. He had been hurt badly twice, it would be three times once he found out that she was now with someone else.
Her thoughts then turned to her first date with Turner, how deeply in love with him she had been by the end of the evening and how special he had made her feel. As special as she felt at that micron. She had loved Turner so much, but he was gone. When he died she felt as if she had died as well. It had taken yahrens but she had finally moved on, more than anything she wanted to feel alive again. After her evening with JustinB, she did.
Looking deep into JustinB's eyes, Brie knew that she was where she was supposed to be, with the person that she was supposed to be with. Everything was so clear, lightning could strike twice. "I love you too."

I was stunned and I was sure it showed on my face. I wasn't expecting Brie to return the sentiment.
"Brie, all I want is for you to be and comfortable in this relationship. You mean more to me than life itself." I paused for a few microns to get my wits about me and make sure what I said was what I wanted to say. "Yes we live in dangerous times and we both are in dangerous jobs, but I want you to know being a warrior goes hand in hand with our relationship. There will be times you might be unlucky to be on deep probe mission and times where we might be in combat far apart from one another. But, I guarantee you this, I am too stubborn to die and even in the direst situation it will be our love that makes sure I will come back too you alive and well." With that I planted the most passionate kiss on her sweet lips.

The kiss was incredible. Brie had enjoyed every kiss that she and JustinB had ever shared, but a kiss filled with love was so much better. It seemed to last only a moment but it must have been a lot longer because it was interrupted by a voice overhead.
"This is the pilot speaking. We've been given permission to land aboard the Battlestar Callisto, and will begin our approach momentarily. Please make sure your restraints are properly secured. Thank you."
Brie sat up and refastened her restraint. She then took JustinB's hand again, and rested her head on his shoulder. "You're full of felgercarb, you know that? I know the risks, but I'm willing to take them if it means that I can be with you. I'd rather die tomorrow knowing that you love me than live a hundred more yahrens alone." The Callisto grew larger in front of them. "But don't worry, I'm not planning on dying tomorrow. I suddenly have something to live for. And someone."

"And I do too Brie." I replied with a squeeze of her soft hand
The shuttle was at the outer marker and only microns from landing. The most wonderful night I have had in ages had nearly come to an end.
" You know what is going to be hard, it is walking out of this shuttle knowing this night has come to an end. It has been such the best time I have had for so long. So do you think your daughter, I mean Amy will she be waiting up for you do you think?"

As tempted as Brie was to say that the night didn't yet have to end, she didn't. Things had moved faster than either of them had expected, rushing intimacy would be a big mistake. "I have no idea," she replied. "Amy is the most unpredictable person that I've ever known. I'm hoping that she decided to clean up a little bit. I forgot to tell you, Holodoc loaned Amy one of her cats, so I actually have two roommates. And speaking of Holodoc, last time I saw her she told me that you're overdue for your annual physical and said if I saw you to remind you. Little did she know that I was about to spend one of the best evenings of my life with you."
The landing was slightly bumpy, but better than the landing on the Starliner Alpha. Now starts the hard part. "When are we going to be able to get together again? The jump comes at a good time for us since it's usually routine. You think you could find a centar or two to spend with a woman who is crazy about you?"

"Good ol' Holodoc, she doesn't miss a trick that one. I had been dodging her for my annual physical cause of squadron duties. I guess I better make some time for it during the jump." I said with a heavy sigh.
I didn't want this night to end and I didn't know what Brie wanted to do so I decided to take a gamble.
"Well, how about we say that after a good nights sleep you come over to my quarters and we can have breakfast together,"I said. Then with a non serious tone in my voice I added, "or you can always come over to my quarters now and we could continue this night together and if you decide to stay you more than welcome to share my bed or I could sleep on the couch"

The night on the Galactica seemed so long ago. Brie and JustinB had come very close to making love that night, but at the time it wasn't love at all, it was a combination of anger, frustration, lust, and a million other emotions, enhanced by the grog that they had shared. Part of Brie had secretly wished since then that they hadn't been interrupted, but she felt that way no longer. Things had happened that night for all the wrong reasons. Things were different now.
"I love you, JustinB," Brie said sincerely. "I'd really like to see your quarters. And if I spend the night, you won't have to sleep on the couch."

We walked towards my quarters slowly. One of the things we knew we had to do was not to get to close as not to arouse suspicion. Every so often though we would walk somewhere it was crowded and ever so suttle, Brie would bump into me to fit through and brush my body with her hand.
"Sorry about that," she would say looking at me directly and winking at me.
Brie made me feel I could be myself, which I hadn't for quite some time. I was going to make sure I didn't let Brie get away. We arrived at my quarters, so I pinned in my code and I motioned for Brie to go in first.

Upon entering JustinB's quarters, a new wave of nervous excitement swept over Brie. She glanced around, the layout was similar to her own but JustinB's was a lot more personal. Something caught her eye, a model ship on his desk. Brie walked towards it for a closer look. She didn't pick it up, she hated people touching her things without permission, but she smiled when she realized that she was right. "Tiger Class Destroyer, that's awesome," she remarked. "I spent a sectar on one, back when I was probably 7 or 8. It was quite a ship. Classier than a battlestar, in my opinion." She continued to glance around, especially at the pictures of Caprica on the walls. "I guess there were advantages to the way I grew up. I spent time on more military ships then most people could ever dream of at a young age. I visited all 12 colonies several times, also most of the habitable moons and outposts. Problem was that none of them ever became 'home'. My home was the military orphan ship, floating around space to see what new thing they could teach us for humanity and against the Cylons. Caprica was considered my home planet, but I never lived there. I never stayed on any planet more than 2 sectars. I always hated them, especially the weather. Why bother with rain or heat or whatever else the Lords of Kobol were going to throw at you when you could control your atmosphere on a ship with the flip of a switch?" She turned and faced JustinB, placing her arms around his neck. "Suddenly I feel very differently about everything. I want to find Earth, if it exists, or some other planet to settle on. Some place where the human race can live as the Lords intended us to. It's funny how one fabulous evening can change my perspective on things."
They kissed again. At first it was soft and sweet, but it grew to be filled with desire. There was a yearning in the embrace, a passion that exceeded any previous kiss that they had shared, even on the Galactica. "So when are you going to show me your bedroom?" she whispered into JustinB's ear.

They made their way into the bedroom. "We need some music," Brie suggested. "I don't even care what it is, I just want something that will bring me back to this moment, and you'll be the only one who knows why a silly grin crosses my face whenever I hear it." JustinB turned on some soft music and lowered the lights. Taking Brie's hand, he led her towards the bed. Savoring every micron, they made love, then fell asleep in each others arms.
Brie awoke near the end of light cycle. She lay there for several centons, not really thinking about anything, just enjoying life. She could tell by JustinB's breathing that he was waking up. "Good morning, my love," she said, kissing him on his shoulder, then cuddling up closer.
"Good morning," he replied, shifting slightly.
"As much as I hate to say it, I'm back on duty in a centar," Brie said with a sigh. "I need to go soon." She laughed slightly. "I guess we can stop talking about pace."
JustinB tensed up. "I'm sorry, if you weren't ready or if we moved too fast..."
Brie placed her finger on JustinB's lips. "I was ready. I have no worries, no sorrows, no regrets. Just bliss. There's nothing I wish we had done differently This night has been just about as close to perfect as possible. I'm thrilled that we've become lovers. Waking up in your bed, with you holding me close, is the most incredible feeling. I'm not only happy, I'm content. I had forgotten what that feels like." She kissed him. "And I love the idea of us having a clandestine affair, it's so unlike me. But as I said, I need to go. Heading back to my quarters in a black civilian dress will be hard enough now. Once we're out of light cycle and the corridors are more crowded it will be darn near impossible."
