Dazed and Confused (Jonathan)

[Abaigeal Burke]

She knew what he meant as she too wished to kiss him. Kalia wouldn't go back on her word though. They would be seeing each other really soon like on the trip which would be a test to see how long they could keep their hands to themselves. Kalia would just have to keep them busy so it didn't come up. It would work, it had to.

"I'm sure it's not stupid or at least I won't think it's stupid. I like trying new things whic sometimes work and other times don't. A few days ago I tried my hand at cheesecake and failed miserably. I'll have to just try it again sometime," she stated bitting another piece of cake as she held one up for him. "How did you get into ships? Why the Navy?"[\color] She wished to kiss him again but talking would hopefully keep them occupied.

 

[Jonathan Walsh]

John looked at her, eating when she held up a piece and doing the same for her, It was sort of fun. " Well let me know, I love Cheesecake. " he said with a smile, but what did he like about the navy? John thought about it still, interchanging cake, " Well my father and Grandfather were in the navy.. my father still, though I don't let many know that, I don't want them to think he does me any favors... which he doesn't... I grew up around ships... always loving to visit my father... and grandfather, and I guess it rubbed off on me.. plus they always let me mess around with them. I love the thinking and responsibility that comes wit the job. Though I get fed up with superiors that risk my life for the sake of protocol. " He said passionately.
He would have to find a way to suprise her.. she had all these treats and such.. what could he do for her? " So what sorts of things do you like?" He wondered as he wanted to know so he could keep a note of it.

 

[Abaigeal Burke]

"That makes sense than your from a Navy family which means your expected to be there. I'm glad you like it though that's always nice instead of being forced into something you don't. I'm not sure why people would think your father would do you any favors on the contrary I think he makes it even tougher on you. I'm sure he expects a lot from you and you expect a lot from yourself." It seemed like a whole bunch of pressure to her. Sure Zak cared that she do well as a Jedi but he wasn't here breathing down her neck. Kalia did what she did because she wished to make herself and them proud. Stop the naysayers in their tracks..

Pausing for a moment she thought of his question. "Well, besides exploring I really do enjoy reading anything I can get my hands on. Lately it has just been Jedi stuff though. I'm willing though to always try anything. I'll admit I enjoy practicing my abilities and seeing how far they can take me and learning too. There is so much out there."

"I thought the military was all about protocol and order so I'm sure you'll get used to that part. I don't think you have a choice. Though needlessly risking your life that's ridiculous. Don't they have common sense?" She hated that they would do that. Kalia liked John and wanted to see him again. The idea that he may not come back was really upsetting. She understood war and that but needless death was a whole other thing. Kalia didn't want to end up going to his funeral. "They shouldn't play with people's lives like that. You'll be careful out there, right? For me?" She questioned gazing into his eyes. Kalia liked him a lot she wanted to see where all of this took them the kisses, going on the little adventure together

 

[Jonathan Walsh]

John nodded, " I know, but I enjoy what I do, but you see, I think of out of the box things.. its why I dislike protocol... things that might be of great risk but ingenious to try. " He looked at her with a smile. " I am always careful I suppose I could promise such a thing for you but, I would only promise that to a girlfriend... " He said with a smile giving her the last bite of cake. John had never thought of anyone worrying about him before. It had never been a thought, he was invincible.. John looked at her.. and thought about it maybe she was right... maybe he should pay attention more.. the protocol is there a reason... he just thought his way was better. He couldn't believe he had been bold enough to say that and now.. he regretted it.. did he go to far? to fast? he really liked her.. and he was pretty sure she liked him so John didn't see to much of a problem.. but h

John just hoped she said yes. " So, you did promise you would show me your sword..." He said eager.. he had heard alot about jedi's and their swords.. and he was going to get to see one.. It was tottally a guy thing.. but he had wanted to see it.

 

[Abaigeal Burke]

"Girlfriend? Are you asking me to be your girlfriend, John? How bold of you," she smiled thinking for a moment before speaking again. Kalia really did like him and being his girlfriend meant she could and would be able to spend more time with him. They could go out on more dates and see where all of this took them. "Yes, I'll be your girlfriend," she smiled finally answering him. Kalia had no idea really what being a girlfriend mean but she was sure they would could figure that out. Didn't that just mean like having fun together? " Does this mean you'll be more careful for me? Thinking out of the box is great sometimes but sometimes not." He wasn't the only one with a dangerous job but she was always careful and would continue to be. She had been hurt before she knew that she wasn't inviable.

"Yes! Be right back." She yelled as she got up and ran to grab her light saber. Coming back into the room she stayed standing as the saber hummed to life emitting a pretty blue glow. Since she couldn't have pink Kalia had opted for the next best color blue. "It cuts through almost anything and this weapon is really dangerous," she spoke as she waved it around a little being careful not to hit anything. "Jedi and Sith alike use this weapon. I have not really had to use this yet myself but I'm sure that soon will change." If he wished to see it, he could but only if he promised not to turn it on. The hilt though was kind of cool to look at.

 

[Jonathan Walsh]

John blushed as she said "John? How bold of you," John smiled... and snuck in a kiss before she had ran off to grab her lightsaber. "Yes it means I will be more careful though I was worried you might not say yes" He said knowing he would.. he had a girlfriend to go home to now. "But you have to promise to be careful too, I hear stories about you jedi. " He said with a smile, as she went and grabbed the light saber. " I see, and they let all of you just have one..." He said curious inspecting it, he asked " Could I see it?" He looked up sheepisly. " I mean it though, I want you to be careful as well, its dangerous out there in a ship let alone on the ground... " He found himself worried about her the more he thought about it.

John smiled.. he couldn't believe it. He had a girlfriend and they were going on a trip as soon as he got leave. it was insane.. but he would have it no other way. He couldn't wait, but then he thought about it... he could probably get his fighter out of the hanger at this hour... and he was the squadron leader... he could just say it was a test, as it was. " Do you want to try my fighter? I swear it was running funny the other day, and I should probably check on it.. and see if I can reproduce the problem"

(your mismatched your coloring lol )

 

[Abaigeal Burke]

Now why would she say no? She liked him and wanted to see more of him which meant they should date. He was so silly. "No, we just don't get one. You have to you know learn the basics at least first. Don't worry I'll be careful when I'm away on a mission. I promise nothing stupid and reckless."

Being that they lead such different lives she wasn't sure how often they would get to see each other but that was something they could work out. Knowing her luck one of them would be leaving while the other coming home. Nobody said that anything like this would be easy but than again nothing worth having was. He was worth trying for she could tell just by his kiss and the way it made her feel. There was something there a spark.

"Yes, let's go!" She grinned obviously very excited to get to go for a ride in his fighter. Placing the saber on the table she grabbed his hand basically trying to pull him off the couch. Sure it was running funny he just wanted to show her his flying skills. Kalia didn't care either way she so wanted to go and see what he could do.

"What kind of stories about the Jedi?" She knew a lot of crazy stories circulated about the Jedi and she wondered what he though.

 

[Jonathan Walsh]

"Sure, you don't and you better be careful!" he said with a smile He got up with her, letting Kalia pull him up. He smiled as they made their way to his ship, It was top of the line, and even more so with his change. The R90 Starfire was brand new.. and he had already upgraded it.. he knew that was frowned upon but heck he had brought it up to them ages ago.
So stories.. " You know fighting sith... saving thousands of soldiers.. controling objects with your mind... and people... all sorts of things" He said absent mindly as they came upon his ship.. of course he had forgotten that there was only one seat.. He smiled... " umm Kalia... I forgot that the real models don't have a second seat... umm so you will just have to sit on my lap... if you want to rid... unless you don't want to. "

 

[Abaigeal Burke]

Controlling people? She didn't do that at all nor would she if she could. It wasn't her thing and she really hoped that he knew that. Kalia hadn't put him under a magical spell or anything like that if anything she was under his spell. "Controlling people, that's a Sith thing. I never would," she looked at him as they walked to his fighter.

"Only one seat huh. I don't mind sitting on your lap if that's alright with you. I promise to sit as still as I can." She really did want to fly around with him but on his lap could be problematic such like being a safety risk or for other reasons. If he was alright with it than so was she after all he was going to be the one having to fly after all of this.

 

[Jonathan Walsh]

He got in and motioned for her to get in.. once she lowered onto his lap, he would put his arms around her and grab the controls. " Do you want to help?" He asked rethoriacly as he did the necessary prep, it was slower than normal but he was in pilot mode, until he was almost ready to launch and his friend began to rise as the realization that a very pretty girl was on his lap. He turned bright red and tried to think of dead puppies... and flying as he pressed the final button. He spoke, " please be quiet for a sec, " " Ground Control, this is the Wraith requesting permission to lift off, my fighter acted funny last time I was out, and I couldn't sleep till I figured out what it was. " " Wraith This is ground control, be careful, we don't want to report you kia because you wouldn't let a mechanic near your ship. your clear for launch. " John smiled... he hit the right buttons and moved moved the levers, they soon were in the sky, rocketing towards space at insane speeds, he tried to ignore the fact that his arousal was obvious and as he took over the plan and began to make turns and such putting the fighter through its paces it went away.. but his face was still bright red.

 

[Abaigeal Burke]

Sitting in his lap was actually very comfortable for her at the least. Kalia kind of liked being snuggled up close to him with his arms basically around her. She had no idea though that she on his lap was just the opposite for him and actually was uncomfortable for reasons. She wouldn't see his bright red face as she was faced forward. Once they were cleared she wiggled a little in his lap just to get a better view not knowing he was trying to keep his arousal under control. If she knew that she would have stayed a little more still. "Wraith, pick it out yourself?" Kalia figured it was as it sounded like a name a guy would pick out for himself. "So, is there really an issue with this fighter that we are fixing or did you just want to take me out for a spin?" He was a good flyer, much better than her but she suspected that as he was in the Navy. Perhaps she would allow him to fly Firefly sometime. Moving a little to the other side she looked out that way.

 

[Jonathan Walsh]

The wiggling sent it up and he was pondering how she didn't feel it... He smiled " maybe... but actually my friend did... and I just wanted to take you for a spin... " He said as he tried to focus on flying as he did all the tricks he knew how to. It was fun, and for a while he was distracted but when he slowed down he was aware of her again. He was starting to regret this ride. as his friend was right back up.. He had to admit though his arms were.. around her and brushed her chest.. which just made it worse. John began to want this over.. yet his pride wanted him to do some more tricks, he still had some more up his sleeve. " So, um are you having fun? Not to cramped are you?"

 

[Abaigeal Burke]

"No, I'm fine. I don't mind being close to you. I like it actually and yes this is fun. Are you ok? I'm not smashing you am I?" They were really close so she hoped that he was ok with it all and that this close right now was ok for him. Wiggling a little more in hopes of giving him more room she ended up sitting on his friend which upon feeling something she moved back to where she had been. Her face turned beet red as she realized what she had just done. "I'm sorry," she mumbled trying to compose herself but couldn't this situation was kind of awkward. No scratch that it was really awkward for them both. It seemed that he not only liked her but was sexually attracted to her which while kind of was flattering just embarrassed her right now. "I didn't mean to.." She had those feelings as well but no she wasn't looking to do that right now. She just met him after all. Kalia wanted to spend more time with him first.

 

[Jonathan Walsh]

It hurt... it hurt like the devil.. and he swearved and headed towards the planet at a very dangerous angle for a moment before correcting their course.. but it still hurt, he had winced over... momentarily but was coping... She had done what he had hoped she hadn't. He set them on a drift... so they wouldn't crash as he recovered. " Its fine... my own fault... " He got out.. but she would hear the pain in his voice. " I think... ITs a good time to call it quits" he said as he began descent back towards the hanger, he didn't say anything.. partly out of the slowly retreating pain, and partly out of embarassment. He hadn't wanted her to find out that way.. and well there was nothing he could of done.. he had tried. He landed safely, and waited for her to get off of him, He wasn't going to be the first to talk.

 

[Abaigeal Burke]

"No, no it's my fault. I hurt you I'm so sorry if I didn't move around so much," sighing she hung her head as he brought them in for a landing. Kalia could hear the pain in his voice and she knew it was her fault as much as he denied it. She kind of had ruined their flight. That was one thing that she couldn't fix. As they headed back there was awkward silence as neither of them really didn't know what to say about the situation.

Once they landed she quickly got off him to give him some breathing room which he seemingly needed. After that he may need a cold shower too. "I didn't know or I would have stayed still. Your going to be ok right? Don't be embarrassed you know things happen. It's not as if I'm not attracted to you as well. I have those feelings too..so that's ok. I just.." she was rambling on trying to make the situation better not knowing if she was helping things or just making it all worse. She didn't want him to feel as embarrassed if she could help it.

 

[Jonathan Walsh]

John had recovered, and couldn't help but smile at her.. she was funny.. and cute. John wondered how he had managed to be with such a wonderful woman. She seemed perfect.. and she had just admitted that she had those feelings too.
He didn't know what to do, part of him wanted to run.. back to his apartment and call her in a few days for the trip but then again that wasn't a very gentleman like thing to do, so he stared at her silent but Kalia was rambling though. This was where he hoped he did this right he had to do something. So John did like what they did in the holovids.. and things.. He kissed her. He kissed her like he hadn't kissed her before, that would calm her down.. and sort of make it so he didn't have to talk. But now He waited to see if she would kiss back.

 

[Abaigeal Burke]

She only kept talking because she didn't want him to just leave and run away from her. It was the only thing that she could think of doing right now to keep him here right now. Her rambling only ceased when he kissed her again in a way they hadn't kissed before. It was more passionate and almost lustful. Returning the kiss with a passion filled one of her very own her arms wrapped around him almost instinctively pulling him in closer. If he was looking to shut her up he had done a really good job.

Kalia was really glad that he wasn't mad at her for sitting on him like that. It almost seemed as if everything was all better. How couldn't it be they were lip locked now. She couldn't get enough of his kisses they were wonderful and made her feel in a way she never felt before. Kalia didn't want these feelings to end.

 

[Jonathan Walsh]

John kissed her... it was amazing. He felt more in it than before, and before he realized it his hand had found its way to her chest, he just hoped she didn't mind as he kept kissing her, it was magical. It felt so right and so good.. He have never had his body feel like this.
John prayed she didn't freak out he hadn't meant to grab her there but it just sort of happened, as his other hand was around her pulling her close to him. She was the same height as him. It was strange.. their lips were at just the right level. John didn't know if he could stop himself if he wanted, as it was far too good of a feeling to stop.

 

[Abaigeal Burke]

His kisses sent shivers down her spine. His touches just made her want to melt into his arms. It all felt so right as if this was were she belonged with him. She didn't mind him touching her chest as a part of her wanted him to touch her everywhere. She wanted more of him, her body craved more of him. It was a weird feeling which she didn't exactly dislike but she kept under control. She didn't want to get too wild and crazy with him as they had just agreed to take it slow. This was not taking it slow at all. Kalia didn't want this moment or feeling to end as it felt far too good so instead of pulling away and saying good night she kept on kissing him. Sure they would be going on that trip together soon but that felt like a long ways away and they would be apart from each other. As they continued to kiss she ran her hands lightly up and down his clothed back. She loved touching him too it was a really nice feeling. Now that she thought about it he drove her crazy. These feelings inside of her were driving her crazy.

 

[Jonathan Walsh]

John kept kissing her, and touching her... he couldn't believe it he was touching her chest... he never thought he would get there... well at least in the near future.. yet... here he was... doing so. John didn't want it to stop, his friend had recovered and was surely noticable.. but he didn't care.. He kept kissing her, but he pulled back.. he didn't want to do it now.. they had said to be slow, so he pulled back and frowned dispite the desire in his eyes.. and his body.. he used his inner drive to push back. " I am sorry.. but I respect you too much to go farther Kalia... " He said, knowing it took everything he had to not go back to making out with her.. and have his hands roam her body. He was pretty sure it was more than lust though... He felt good just being close to her.
