"Uhura to Med Bay."

"Yeah , Lieutenant. Whaddya want?" Bones answered.

"Can you send Sanya here ASAP? One of her friends from India is here and she's my responsibility. Such a shy human being . I can barely understand her one word responses. Maybe Dr. Reza can get something more out of her."

"Right now? The girl's helping me with a broken leg."

"That's normal , Dr. McCoy." Uhura replied.

"Not when the skin is ripped apart and the bone is sticking out and you can see inside the leg." He said happily.

"Just....send her as soon as you can."

The communicator switched off.

"Reza!"

"What?! Can't you see I'm doing something?" I yelled , frustrated. Then to the red shirt," How can you get your leg stuck in the pipes? It's 30 feet about your head , GOD."

"Leave that to me. Uhura's calling you. Some friend of yours is there who is barely able to speak out of shyness." Bones shooed me away.

"Shy? My friends and shy? Maybe it's....probably it's her..." I muttered to myself as I walked to the Bridge.

As soon as I entered , I saw her.

"Sam!! You're here?! I didn't even know you were in Starfleet!"

Samadrita Banerjee turned and smiled at me ," Hey , Sanu. I'm a xenolinguist here." We hugged.

"That's the longest sentence she's spoken all day! Please Reza , take her and show her around. Take Chekov too. He's been annoying us all day." The Captain shook his head and pulled my boyfriend up from his seat and pushed him towards me.

"Hi , звезда. How vas your day?" My adorable Pav smiled at me.

"Okay but I missed you a lot. Also Captain , he's fine. Not at all annoying." I said , kissing his cheek. Pavel's , not Jim's.

"The sugar and alcohol is wearing off then." Sulu muttered.

"I told you not to have sugar before work. It gives a you a insanely huge sugar rush. And alcohol?! You'll be like Bambi on steroids!"

He hung his head ," Zorry."

I grinned though" Well , one good thing is that I get to spend time with you , love. Come on."

"Where do we go first?" Sammy enquired.

I showed her all the places - Med Bay , Engineering , Cafeteria, Cells , Observation Deck etc.

Then I asked her ," I presume you wanna sleep , my little author?"

"You know me so well , my little author. I'm two years older. My room, now. Please."

I showed her her room and she left , yawning ," Hang out with you later?"

"For sure. Sweet dreams." And I departed.

"My leetle auzor?" Pasha asked me , confused.

"I was really into writing . I still am , actually. Won a lot of prizes. So did Sam. She won more than me , I think.That's our thing."

"I did not know zat."

"There are things you don't know about me. I'm a mystery not quite ready to be unraveled." I laughed.

"But I like unravelling you." He winked.

"Where do we go now? Your room or mine?"

"Ok...tell me if you zink zis is too fast but do you want to ...I do not know...move in together? Alvays 'whose room' . And we basically stay together all ze time."

I stared at him , gobsmacked. "You. Wanna move in with me?"

He looked surprised " You are my girlfriend."

"Uh..."

"I knew I should not haff said anyzing. It's too fast."

"No , no it's a great time. I do wanna move in with you. Really." I was ecstatic. I was practically bouncing on the balls of my feet which I don't really do.

"Vunderful!" He kissed me.

"Before making it official though , let's ask the Captain permission. God knows what tantrums he might throw." I gasped , after a while when the need for oxygen increased.

"Yez. Most temperamental human , our Keptin iz."

We held hands and walked to the Bridge , where hopefully our moody Captain was in a good mood.

I felt like writing now. So here it is. Next chapter...may or may not be as sad one for Rekov fans. More of Deepmine and Samadrita sure to come , though! Read and REVIEW.
