_Dotted Ts and Crossed Eyes
_by Etienne Aigremont & Coaimhe Ecitsuj
Coaimhe looked up at her beloved Etienne and shook her head fondly. He
scowled just like his father did but the fact that he was still scowling
just amused her to no end. "Stop it, Etienne," she teased, poking his
side lightly as they walked off the lift.
"I have no idea what you're talking about," he protested even as he
twisted to get out of her reach.
"Oh so then it must be some other lovely French Trill who's been pouting
ever since I started to work with Lieutenant McEntire," she mused.
"Some other good looking dark haired man who kept thumbing a charged
phaser as he stood guard at the door to the room where we were working."
Her only answer from him was an annoyed hmmph. "Il n'importe pas, mon
bijou. It only matters that that contraption will hopefully bring us
all home where we belong."
"So then why," she began as she poked him again with each passing word,
"are you so sour faced and annoyed?"
It was hard to keep a stern demeanor when his much adored Coaimhe was
being so playful and when he knew that she would tease him even more if
he told her the truth. She was such a sweet and vibrant soul and so
very beautiful. He spent whatever time he could with her, precious
little that it was now that he was acting head of Security. The project
Science and Engineering had to work on was so important that it was
deemed necessary that armed personnel had to be there. Of course he
volunteered. And that, he knew, was where the irritation had begun and
now that they'd delivered the device to the captain, he was still irritated.
"He was flirting with you," he finally grumbled.
And there it was. She laughed at him before hugging him right in the
middle of the corridor. "Etienne Aigremont, you are so funny. How long
have we been assigned to the same ship as Lieutenant McEntire and you
never noticed that he flirts with every female aboard?" she asked,
grinning up at him. "Tsk tsk, Mr. Security. You should be more observant."
"Pah, I never said I didn't notice," Etienne retorted. "He even made
Maman blush at the last launch party." Now that he put voice to it, it
did sound silly but he could never not be honest with Coaimhe. "He just
never flirted with you, Coaimhe. I don't care for it."
"Silly man, he has too but you never saw it," she told him. "Relax,
Etienne. You have nothing to worry about. We'll be home soon."
"And you'll still marry me even if I am silly and jealous?" he asked
with a shy smile.
"Of course I will, my silly Trill. When we get home." She poked his
side once again. "Now uncross your eyes and stop scowling."
