372 words; about a 2 minute read

Laying on his bed, Calvin was enjoying some quiet time. Something he was getting used to not having a lot of and as such, his mind began to wander and mull over the things that had happened the past few days. At that point Calvin realised he hadn't sent a message to one of his best friends in a while.

=/\= Computer, open log and send to Lieutenant Alexander Sandcroft. USS Blitz upon completion. =/\=

"Hey babe,

You still insist on us calling each other that while we are still single? I swear you are just living our your fantasy of being with me and refusing to admit it." Calvin giggled.

"I hope all is well with you...your fancy new rank and position and all. Some of us are still the lowly Ensign and not rising as fast. Hopefully I too can one day move to a more general science field." There was a pause, "You are sleeping with your commanding officer aren't you? Again?" Another giggle.

"I finally made it to the Galileo by the way. It is a small ship but there is a lot of potential here for me to do things I never thought before. And the sensors? Talk about optimal scanning!

Since you will no doubt ask...yes I have been on a date. Yes I am meeting people and no I am not spending all my time hiding away. Something feels different. My anxiety isn't as bad! Hopefully that means things are settling down in the old noggin and I'll be back to me you know and secretly love.

Is it a date if it is a casual hello, drink and a romp in what I assumed were his quarters. I didn't know the bar staff got their own rooms. He said he shared it with his best friend who used to be the Chief Engineer, but he had transferred away. Something about marital problems and how his new husband didn't love him and things.

Anyway, I'm rambling. You don't want to hear all about my...what do you call it...physical love life? I tell ya jealous.

Hope all is well. Can't wait back to hear from you. Much hugs, Calvin.

=/\= End and transmit =/\=
