ON
He is such a nice representation of a male; Ensign Franklin, six feet two inches of well muscled and very able to give that feeling of Security. They might be considered 'Burly Enforcers' to most, but right now the firm physique gave her a calming effect as no one would bother her with Franklin around.
Nicoles hoped he liked the choice of her attire; a simple wrap around black a frame minidress that she had added antique underskirt with white lace overlay to the hemline, The longer underskirt started at the front center hemline; short in the front and draping to mid calf in the rear. Black lace stockings to the cutest ankle boots as she had her legs crossed so not to reveal the silken unmentionables. The antique ; semi transparent billowing sleeves with white cuff to match the white V-cut blouse with an Elizabethan collar open in the front to match the v-cut of the dress. With the Antique coreset and brass colored bindings to accent her small waist.
She used hair pins to put the cutest Bolar style cap with bronze welding goggles along the brim. top this with black lace gloves as a proper Southern Lady would have might have been a bit excessive as she would have liked more tactile contact with Franklin's hand and solid forearms as she ran her fingertips along.
[Corridor]
Kuroko was walking down the corridor of deck three, doing her usual security rounds a PADD in hand. She wasn't paying much attention to others who passed her as she patrolled.
"Hey did you see Lieutenant Nicoles today?" one of the passing ensigns said to another as they walked past her. That got Kuroko's attention as she zoned in onto their conversation. "Yeah, she was with Ensign Franklin and did you see what she was wearing?"
"Ensign Franklin...." Kuroko said. "Wait" she said stopping dead in her tracks. "Ensign Paul Frankling... from... MY TEAM" suddenly her thoughts made her full of rage. "But, he's a guy!" she exclaimed. She pocketed the PADD into her uniform and tapped her comm badge. "Computer, locate Lieutenant Nicoles"
"Lieutenant Nicoles is in the forward lounge"
"Thats it. This has gone too far!" Kuroko said as she stormed off towards the nearest turbolift.
[Lounge]
Mister Frankilin had her enthralled as she kept looking into the sparkle in his eyes. It truly made him more desireable with the depth of intellegence she listen to coming from his conversation. Nicoles had not realized there is so much strategy involved with Pareses Squares.
She kept her hand moving from wrist to mid forearm; holding back the desire not to have a test squeeze to determine how much muscular mass he had in that arm.
"You must be quite the tactical Officer to have taken in the angle and counter play of the opponents." She purred.
Kuroko entered the lounge and was relieved to see that Tessa's back was facing her. She sneakily replicated a drink and slid towards one of the corner booth tables where she could sit in the shadows and observe discretely. If things got out of hands she could rush in with a 'security issue' and pull either of them out.
"Despite this fascinating conversation." She leaned a little closer. "How about you give me some kind of a hint you like what Ah am wearing." She winked. "Ah would like to think I am better competition that reminiscing about your competition record." She smiled like a cat. "Yew realize that I find you ... very tempting in a way not quite what a Southern Lady should be thinking on a first date."
Upon hearing that Kuroko spat out a little bit of her drink. That was only a line that only Tessa told HER! She nearly blew her cover as her eyes opened in shock and her cheeks began to full with blood, mainly from rage, but also... damn, Tessa looked good in that outfit.
"How about we find out how those thoughts pan out.?" He took her hand in his.
"Ah thought yew would never ask." She look a him from under her eyelashes. "A lady always follows a Gentleman's better suggestions." SHe waited as a lady should for the man to rise and offer to help her up.
Franklin had the grin of victory; the Doctor had finally gone past that Southern Bell Tease and he is the lucky guy to be there for it.
Kuroko stood up, that was it. Either the drink was going to her head, or she was losing it. Her heart pounded in her chest as she picked up the drink and she thought about going over towards Franklin and going all out on the verbal at him. However a new idea popped into her head.
She approached the table slowly and stood between them. "Hey there guys" she said with a smile, dragging a chair and placing it between them. "Mind if I join you? What'cha talking about over here?"
"We were just Leaving." Nicoles shot a dagger look to Kuroko. "Yew realize you are the fifth wheel on a motorcycle?"
"What are you doing Lieutenant?" Franklin had not released her hand. "Getting a might bit intrusive aren't you, this is none of your affair." He pointed out.
Kuroko's eyes narrowed at Franklin. "Oh, well you know" she said simply. "I believe it is. Since I believe that Tessa... I mean Lieutenant Nicoles here needs to be checked out by sickbay" she glanced at Tessa. "Damn that dress looks good. I'd love to take her back to my quarters and start by..." she cut that trail of thought off.
"The Chief Medical Officer has not made it a right now." Tessa hissed quietly. "It is not like Ah will not see her my next shift." She put the heel of her boot into Kuroko's foot. "You might need to see the doctor more than me!"
Ignoring the heel into her boot, not that it matters with her boot being steel toe-capped. "Listen to yourself. Before you went down to the planet you had no eyes for..." she glanced over at Franklin. "Well, you never did like to eat Banana's lets say that!" she exclaimed.
Kuroko never saw the right cross coming, Nicoles connected with some satisfaction and a sharp pain in her wrist despite the satified sight of Kuroko's head snapping back and the body following. The chair tipped with the momentium of Kuroko and ended up on the floor.
"Ow... ow..ow..." Nicoles gripped her right wrist, snatching her left hand from Franklin, a she stood up and gripped her sore wrist. "This is your fault you Minx! She scolded. "Yew hurt me again."
Pointing directly at Tessa Kuroko grinned form the floor. "HA!" she exclaimed as she jumped to her feet. "You admit it then. 'Yew hurt me again'" she said imitating Tessa's accent, as much as it was something she loved, it was one thing she used in their arguments. "By again, means that you bat for MY TEAM! You swing this way!" she exclaimed her voice raised catching the eyes of most of the people in the room.
"I can't allow you to do something you would regret!" she shouted grabbing Tessa's arm. "Come with me! You need to be brought to your senses!".
Nicoles took a step forward and rotated her body in a move that Kuroko taught her for self defense to 'flip someone off balance, rolling her over her shoulder to flip the woman away from her.
"Yew taught me that Sen-say." Nicoles taunted. " Come to my senses in deed."
"Nice one..." Kuroko thought as she picked herself up again. "Well, why would I have taught you that?" she asked as she moved a little closer. "Do you not remember anything before this? Do you not remember those nights we had together? The days we spent together?" she moved a little closer so she was in grabbing range. "Do you remember... this?"
Grabbing Tessa, she pulled her in close to her body, one arm securing her by reaching around and holding her in behind her back as Kuroko's face suddenly got closer making their lips meet.
In shock Nicoles pulled her head back then snapped it forward in a head butt...
"Ow!" Kuroko said letting Tessa go and holding her head, a large red mark appearing where her forehead had just been violently introduced to Tessa's. Her heart was still pounding in her chest, mainly from finally being that close to Tessa.
"You're not disagreeing with me! You're not right! Go to sickbay!" Kuroko shouted at her. "I need you to go, because I..." she stuttered "I..." she paused. "Because I need you Tessa! I F***ING LOVE YOU. AND YOU KNOW THAT ITS TRUE FOR BOTH OF US!"
"Did Ah give you a con-cussion" Nicoles stepped back holding her forehead and trying not to have the ship axis steady she moved closer and kicked Kuroko in the chin. "Now you drop dead!" Nicoles snapped.
Knocked back to the floor again, and now bleeding from the mouth where she had bitten her lip. She spat some out onto the deck. "Thou shall do no harm..." she muttered loudly for Tessa to hear. "Well, you think I broke your heart. Did you ever consider what you DID TO MINE?".
She spat more blood on the floor as she stood up once again. She held both hands out as if surrendering. "I won't hit you. You know I never will" she said a fea tears starting to emerge from her brown eyes and silently rolling down her cheeks. "But, you and I both know that..." she motioned looking over at Franklin "...is not you. Why would you have history with me, if you batted for the other team?"
'Because you left me for dead..." She said while trying to balance on heels with a strained ankle as the dancing high kick did not include an impact. "And you keep hurting me..."
Kuroko took a step back, then another slowly until she backed into the bar. "I..." she stuttered. "I didn't! I wanted to go back! But I wasn't able to!" she explained looking down at the floor. "YOUR NAME WAS ON THE CASUALTY LIST!" Kuroko shouted as she lunged forward, grabbing Tessa's dress by the collar. Instantly Kuroko began to slap her other hand across Tessa's face, repeatedly as if trying to wake her up. "Snap. Out. Of. This. You. Are. Not. Straight!" she said each word with a slap or back slap.
Amber walked in on the last part of the fight. "There was no casualty list as there were no casualties." She looked around at everyone watching. "Can someone please tell me what is going on here?"
Tears started flowing from her eyes as her cheeks stung from being slapped, her eyes went darker as she focus upon Kuroko and the rage flared.
"No -one-slaps me..." Punching both fists into Kuroko's midsection despite the sharp pain in her right wrist. "You..." Then she popped Kuroko's ears.
Amber felt the rage like a wave. She grabbed Tessa by the arm and twisted it behind her back. "Stand down, Lieutenant. That's an order."
The first officer turned to the security officer. "Why didn't you stop this? Take them both to the brig until I get both the doctor and counselor to evaluate them." She was clearly not pleased that a security officer did nothing. "That, too, is an order."
Nicoles pulled her hand free of the Executive Officer, glaring as she point to Kuroko.
"She came and started it by interrupting mah date." Her Sothern Accent getting worst. "She started it and AH have to go to the Brig?" She demanded he answer. Where are Yew all being fair Commander?" She crossed her arms and winced at the pain in her wrist.
"I-I really did not have a chance Commander they were just brutal." He said. "And the Doctor was my date..."
"You really always were an idiot weren't you Franklin!" Kuroko spat back at the ensign. She turned to look at Amber. "No disrespect Commander, but this is between me and her!" she said snapping her gaze back to Tessa. "She's not right in her head, she would never date or even look at someone with a..." she stopped for a second as if she didn't want to say the word. "A man. She's only acting this way since she came back from that stupid planet!"
"She has been affected by the the pathogen on the planet," Amber informed her. "And when it turns into a cat fight in the lounge, it becomes my business." A
Amber decided there would be no getting these two peacefully to sickbay. She tapped her combadge. "Quinn to Transporter Room. Please beam Lieutenants Nicoles and Shirai to the brig. Put a forcefield between them."
There was a moment of silence. "Yes, ma'am." The two women dematerialized.
Amber turned to the security officer. "You are on report. Date or no date, there is no excuse for letting a figth break out."
The first officer turned to the bartender. "Please send me a report of what happened. Thank you."
"You can report now," Amber said to the security officer as she turned to walk out of the ounge.
In the corridor, she tapped her combadge again. "Lieutenants Zuub and Romen, please meet me in the brig."
