Location: USS Schofield - Mimi's Quarters
Timeline: MD -11, 1850 hrs

[ON]

Mimi dashed around her quarters getting a few things ready, she'd finally had some time where everything important on the Schofield was working properly so Crewman Hart was coming to her quarters in a few minutes and they were going to relax and watch a movie together, a historical space romance she had picked up on earth.

=/\= Hart to Ensign Mimi =/\=

=/\= Go ahead =/\=

=/\= I am really sorry Mimi but I'm going to have to cancel tonight. The chief wants the all the science equipment up and running properly, calibrated and tested so we're all staying late in the labs. =/\=

=/\= Aww, ok. Maybe another time? =/\=

=/\= Definitley, I will see you tomorrow Mimi. =/\=

=/\= See you tomorrow =/\= Mimi replied and closed the channel.

'Hhmmm' She thought, slumping down onto the sofa. 'who else can watch this with me? Miraj? no she's on the bridge. Petra? maybe.'

She picked at the bowl of something called popcorn that Hart had reccommended she replicate as she thought, eventually an idea came to mind and she tapped her combadge. =/\= Ensign Mimi to Petty Officer Hollenday=/\= She didnt think the movie would be his sort of thing but he would like spending time with her anyway.

=^=Hollenday here. What's up Ensign=^= John replied. He was very circumspect about keeping the proper distance when needed.

=/\=Do you have any plans for tonight?=/\= Mimi asked.

=^=No ma'am. What can I help you with ma'am=^= John replied.

=/\=You can relax John. I had plans to watch a movie with Crewman Hart but she has had to cancel, I want to know if you would like to watch it with me.=/\=

=^=Anytime I can spend with you and I will be there. What time? I do not get off duty until 1900 hours=^=

Mimi glanced at the clock in her quarters, it was nearly 1900hrs. =/\=2000hrs? you have time to get some food first.=/\=

=^=Anything I can bring other than my sorry carcass?=^= John inquired. Even if she said no, he would bring something. No gal tended to not have a present no matter what.

=/\=Bring any thing you like John.=/\= Mimi replied. She started to think what she could do with the little over an hour she had to wait for John.

=^=Good deal. I will be there with bells on my toes. See you then=^= John closed the comm so he could go finish his work. It struck him that she might not be familiar with the phrase and hoped she did not really think he would show with bells on his toes.

'Bells on my toes? what could that mean?' Mimi thought about it for a minute then shrugged and decidd she would find out when he arrived. Getting up she started to tidy her quarters a little more then a quick sonic shower was in order.


2000 hrs

John had a quick bite to eat, gotten showered and a dab of cologne along with that. He also had checked the computer and put a call into medical and found out that chocolate was alright with Nekomi physiology. A nice box of mixed chocolates seemed perfect for sharing during a movie. He now stood in front of her quarters and checked himself over in the reflection off the chrome and satisfied that he looked cleaned up enough rang the chime.

Throwing a few last peices into the bedroom out of the way Mimi opend the door smiling when she saw John stood there right on time. "Come in John."

John had changed into another mechanic uniform, clean, functional and baggy and comfy. He smiled at her simple clothing and then pulled a hand out from behind his back. "I brought these for you, hope you don't mind, I did check to make sure Nekomi metabolism was alright with chocolate."

Mimi took the box. "Thank you John, these look very nice." Like most things she could tolerate a few of them.

"You welcome, so...." he stepped inside taking a quick look. He was impressed by the space. An third class petty officer's quarters were closer to niche in a wall. Even so, he suspected she had a roomie. "Nice, nice, you actually have a bit of room. You have to share with anyone?"

"All us juniors officers have to share, my room mate is on duty, she will not be here for several hours."

"Nice. Shoot maybe I should get a degree and be an officer. Guess perks with that eh sugah?" He then grabbed her gently and pulled her close to make a little kiss on top of her head. He let go and then asked, "So what do we have for movie night?"

"It is called 'Starcrossed'." Mimi said, she led John over to the sofa and sat down "Koven Wrelok from Andoria and T'Miko of Vulcan play T'Shenn and Aassal. Two warriors in the war between Vulcans and Andorians before the federation was made."

"So love interest and sounds like a bit of action as well. Alright, where do I plop? Couch or floor?"

"I will leave that up to you." Mimi said, she drew her legs up onto the sofa and leant against the arm rest leaving plenty of space for John if he wanted to join her.

"I know mama would hit me upside the head, but always liked to sprawl on the floor since a tyke. Still, sharing a spot with you," he said and took the other side. He kept a distance though hopefully that might change as the movie went on. "Mind if I take off my shores darlin'?" He asked.

"I do not mind, get as comfy as you want." Reaching over Mimi tapped on the control panel nearby to start the film.

John decided to pay attention to the movie at least for a bit. The opening sequence got started and then the introduction. It was interesting enough, he sort of enjoyed historical stuff. About forty-five minutes in and the Vulcan rescuing the Andorian from a fall in, in the cavern that had a listening post and the two potential lovers meeting he slid his feet toward Mimi's and used his toes to sort of stroke the bottom of her feet.

Mimi's bare feet twitched, the feeeling of his feet against hers was certainly unusual. "Hey stop that, my feet are very....."

"Sensitive?" John asked and pulled his feet away and sat up. "No problem, sorry..." He said then leaned over quickly and grabbed one foot and tickled it with his fingers.

"eek." Mimi giggled and squirmed when he grabbed and tickled her foot.

John continued to hang onto the jerking appendage and continued, laughing as he continued. "Say Uncle!" he got out between the laughing.

"Uncle?" Mimi blurted out, she didn't know why he'd asked her to say it but it became clear a moment later when he stopped tickling her.

"Good enough!" John laughed and stopped. "Now see, I learned something new." He laughed again. "Sorry think we will have to back up a bit. But you do have wonderful feet." He gently squeezed one and winked.

"Thank you, just watch out for my claws." Mimi said, they were retracted for now but a sudden twich could see them unleashed.

"Thanks for the warning, I guess I best keep my hands to myself," John said with a small pout. "Say want to cuddle up and watch the movie. I got to hold you a bit back on the moon but sure would not mind holding you again, that is if it is alright."

Mimi laughed a little. "Since you asked nicely."

"And did not tickle feet," John replied and held his arms out. He waited while she got settled and then just squeezed her gently close making sure hands were on her arm. That he gently rubbed that arm, was another thing but he would let her decide how much he could 'roam'.

Leaning into John Mimi gave a sigh of content, she thought back to how she felt when her and John were together on Ryn. This time it felt even better.

John smiled, it was nice this way. His hand continued to gently rub her arm but as it got to the top of her shoulder he moved it to play with one of her ears. It was a gently rub and scratch. The thing was so soft and just much better placed than his stupid human ears.

Mimi purred a little, she loved having her ears rubbed. With her hand she stroked his stomach and chest feeling his somewhat toned body.

John continued to stroke her ear and then offered some popcorn with his other hand. "Now that sounds like a contented woman," he whispered in the other ear as he watched the movie. He wanted to do a bit more exploring but kept his impulse in check, at least for now. It did not help that the movie had entered a somewhat steamy scene.

Watching the screen as T'shenn and Aassal kissed, much more passionately than their first, all their social and racial differences cast aside Mimi looked up and John, she turned his face towards hers and kissed him, square on the lips.

John was a bit surprised but he quickly returned the kiss and set the bowl down. He pulled her close and his hand slide from ear to one butt cheek to hold her from slipping. That he was becoming aroused was an understatment.

"Li garia anda John." Mimi said finally 100% sure of her feelings for him.

John was not sure what that meant, in fact he had no idea if it was something like you taste like popcorn or a request to stop or something else. He took a big breath and and asked, "Sorry, did I got to far?" He decided to err on the side of caution.

Mimi chuckled, she was going to have to teach him Nekomi. "It means I love you John." She said and kissed him again.

John was surprised and returned the kiss but his curiosity was aroused now as well. "Well darlin' I love you too. Still, guess best I learn a few words so I can distinguish that you are saying somethin' sweet or your lips taste like salt."

"They do taste like salt." Mimi replied with a little giggle.

"Oh is that so? Well guess best for me to get some water then and perhaps a cold shower as well. I don't know the Nekomi word but you got me going, if'n you know what I mean." He winked.

Mimi cocked her head to the side a little. "You mean you are....." She thought for a moment then remembered a word her friend Mesha had told her to describe the situation. "....horny?"

John just guffawed. It was just too funny, she was either so innocent or just did not know much about humans. "Darlin' your people are either the best controlled people since Vulcans, or you just didn't get to know enough guys along the way."

"I have not been this close to a man before." Mimi admitted.

John pursed his lips and then made a sort of "oooo..." soft sound. "I see...," he squirmed a bit uncomfortably. "Ummm.....well when a sexy girl like you gets kssin' like that well....I well...just basic biology wants to take over. You know...sex. Still...ummm....I mean only if you want."

Mimi laughed a little, clearly he was now just as nervous as she was. "I understand the biology of it. Maria my foster mother told me about the.... what do you call it.... the birds and the bees?"

"Well then, good enough, but unless you want to find out a bit more about birds and bees and tab A into slot B, then I think I best take a cool down. Put something else on, or maybe play a game?"

"I like games, what kind?" Mimi asked, She was glad the subject had moved away from sex, she wasn't ready to take things quite that far yet.

"Oh what are you familiar with? I only know mostly some Terran games. Checkers, cards, stuff like that. None of that complicated stuff Vulcans and the Ferengi like."

"I can do cards." Mimi replied. "One of the old crew taught me a couple." She thought back to her games in the mess hall with Splendora.

"Any particular game? Spades, hearts, 5 card stud?" he asked.

"I know how to do the one where you have to get 5 of one thing and 4 of another, what did she call it.... roomy?"

"You mean gin? Sure we can do that. Got a set of cards?"

"Yes, somewhere." Mimi uncloiled herself from John and scurried into the bedroom.

John watched her scurry off. That tail and rear were just so inviting and he so wanted to pounce on that especially as she headed into the bedroom. "Cool it down boy," he muttered to himself. She seemed interested but other than a good kiss that had been the extent. He was just a poor nut buster and knew only the rudiments that different species had different pheromones, clues and other things that got the opposite sex going. Maybe he did not smell right, or growl, or whatever it was that a Nekomi female found interesting in a Nekomi male. He had a thought pop into his head and it put paid to his other thoughts as he began to laugh. He shook his head and thought: 'I'll be damned if I put on a tail for her, look like a monkey.'"

A couple of minutes later Mimi returned with a deck of cards. "I replicated these on the first Galileo, they stayed with me though everything that happened."

It had been awhile since he had played gin. Engineering types tended to be like good ol' boys and mostly played poker and where Texas Holdem was still king of the game. "How you want to determine the dealer, high card or who tickles out first, wouldn't mind the later." John winked.

"You can deal if you want." Mimi handed John the cards. "Who tickles out first, what does that mean?"

John said, "Well it goes like this!" He moved quick enough and began to tickle her feet, ribs anything else that he thought might get her to squeal. "Whoever is more ticklish...." he laughed.

Despite her natural speed Mimi didn't react in time. Quickly finding herself pinned beneath him. "uncle, uncle." She called squealing with laughter.

"Oh!!! Alright, I will deal!" John gave one final tickle and then sat back. "Alright darlin' guess get the first hand out though having my hands on you is a lot more fun."

"I agree." Mimi said, she picked up her cards after John dealt.

They got the play going and Mimi won, in fact out of the five games, she won four of them. John sort of knew the rules but it was not a game that he was as familiar with as her. Still he did not mind, though he noticed the twitch in her tail when she was about to gin. That could be bad and good for poker and he would have to say something about that.

He yawned and looked at the chronograph. "Well good thing we did not bet on the game, you would have beaten the pants off of me, but tell you the truth, I would have been quite happy with getting my pants off." He leered just for a moment. "Got early shift so best be calling it a night and your roomie will probably be back soon. Poor third hand nut busters get rotating shifts at times and I got the short straw."

"Maybe next time we can bet on the game, I have never seen a human with their pants off." Mimi laughed, gathering up the cards she stacked them back together in their case.

"All you have to do is ask darlin'," John winked and then stood. He held his hand out to her to help her up and as he pulled her up, pulled her close and wrapped her in his arms. Though she was smaller, he could feel those lithe muscles but that was one thing, it was her lips that he was after and he kissed long and deep until he knew he better quit before he swept her off to the bed. "Wew! Well best I get some shower and rack time. Good night sweetheart."

Mimi held John tight as they kissed though she had to transition up on her toes to reach his height, his grip was firm but gentle and she felt perfectly content in his embrace. "Good night John." she said after they eventually parted.

"Good night to you sweetie, I know what I will be dreaming about tonight!" He chuckled and then became more serious as the the door opened remembering that in public they had to maintain a certain relationship. "Ensign," he made a nod and headed off.
