Niples+Alotta JP "...And so to bed"

Commander Niples and Alotta Viagra, Joint post
Time 7:30ish
 
Katrina looked at the Captain sharply.
"Fine, I'll tell you," she snapped. "I think she's great for you. She's got a good position on Blue Dwarf and is very pretty with a sweet personality." Katrina stood. "You know what, you can have both milkshakes," Katrina told him. "I'm not in the mood anymore. I'll see you later."
 
"Katrina, wait.... what's wrong?" Niples called after her. He followed her up to the doorway of Parrots "Was it something I said?"
But she was already gone.
 
"Milkshakes Captain?" said Numan, delivering two perfectly poured milkshakes to him on a silver platter which looked like it only came out on special occasions, occasions such as when you want to impress the captain. Even if he is only 'acting-Captain'.
 
"Thanks," said Seymour, sitting down and slurping the first milkshake. He had forgotten how good they had tasted, he quickly finished the first one off and started on the other. It just tasted so good, his tastebuds tingled with orgasmic pleasure as the thick chocolate milk passed over them.
 
He strutted out of the pub feeling good, feeling better than good. He felt alive. but little did he know that the milkshakes were banned from most major Earth colonies and starships for their addictive chemicals.
 
Niples walked around the ship checking up on everyone, he didn't want to be the kind of captain that sat behind a desk, he wanted to see everyone doing their work first-hand, help them if possible, and also get feedback on how to improve the effective running of the ship. But when he asked people how to improve this, they all said "Shorter hours of course!"
 
It wasn't long before Alota came out of the VR suite and turned straight into him.
"Oh crap, oh crap... Sorry." she said politly
 
Niples smiled, knowing that she liked him. (and also partly because the milkshake was making him happy)
"Thats ok, by the way I heard from Tara that you wanted to ask me out oh smeg did I just say that out loud?" He realised that he wouldn't normally do that, he mustn't be thinking straight. He rubbed his forehead.
 
"Yep, Tara is going to die! and yes you did say that out loud. Well what about it Captin?" Alota said nervously...
 
Niples stroked his chin.
***The next morning***
Time 7:30 ish
 
Seymour opened his eyes. The celing looked a bit different, his celing didn't have a stain on this side of the room, his was at the other side.
And then he realised, this wasn't his room, this wasn't his bed.
 
Something moved under the covers beside him that startled him.
 
"Alotta?!"
The covers flew off and Alotta looked at him blurry eyed. "Morning Seymour..." she said, putting an arm around him.
Seymour didn't know what to do, he was paralysed and couldn't move. "Did we, ummm, did we......"
Alotta smiled up at him.
 
"I uh...I ummm, we..... need to get ready for work. We have to be in the drive room in 15 minutes."
Alotta was left thinking 'Oh shit I just slept with the Captain'
 
All of the shift the two didn't really talk to each other much, they pretty much kept out of each other's way, feeling too embarrassed to even make eye contact.
 
***After shift was over***
"Captain, we need to talk" She said politly "We do, how about at parrots?" "Yes". They walked to Parrots not saying a word. They ordered a drink (not milkshakes).
"Well", Alotta began "I did enjoy last night but I don't think we should do that again in a hurry, everyone would think I'm trying to sleep to the top and besides I don't think that you really like me in that way. I will still always like you but I'm not sure this will work especially on this place, I mean yeah I enjoy it but with all the really weird things that have happened on this place what do you expect".
 
Niples let out a sigh of relief which was a little louder than he had meant it to be.
 
"I feel exactly the same way...." he said. "I think this may have been a bad idea.... You're a nice girl, I think you're grea- but I just don't like you in THIS way."
Alotta nodded in understanding.
"It won't work..." they both agreed. This ship wasn't exactly the best place to have a relationship, although Alota had the feeling that Seymour secretly had his eyes on someone else.
 
She left the table they were sat at and talked to someone else.
 
Niples sat alone and ordered another one of those gorgouusly tasty milkshakes from Numan when he came round.
 
Seymour watched Penny Lloyd walk into the bar along with some other security officers, his heart suddenly started beating faster. After wondering if he should go and talk to her he got up to his feet and started walking over....
 
"Captain!" Niples' view of Penny was suddenly blocked by Katrina Swete.
"look, I'm sorry about yesterday..." she started. Niples' heart sank as he saw Penny leave again.
He focused on Katrina in front of him.
 
<<Do you want to continue this Katrina? And everyone give a huge round of applause to Alota for her brilliant first joint post!>>
