*Elijah was running on the treadmill in the excercise room when Melissa Jameson entered the room. He watched her as she walked over to him*
Melissa Jameson:Hello Cdr Jurgen, what a surprise meeting you here.
Elijah Jurgen:Why are you so surprised? I come here every day and run 10km.
Melissa Jameson:Now Elijah, may I call you Elijah, it is not a surprise that you are here, but more of...glad that you are here.
*She says it with a playful smile and and once over with her eyes. Which Elijah notices as he always does. Leaving him with the butterflies in the stomach feeling*
Elijah Jurgen:Ms. Jameson are y....
*Melissa interupts him while holding a finger to his lips causing him to lose his balance*
Melissa Jameson:Are we not passed calling me Ms. Jameson. You can call me Melissa.
<Elijah Jurgen:Ok, Melissa it is then.
<Melissa Jameson:Good, I am glad that that is settled. I was just wondering what you did for fun?
*Elijah finished his 10k run and he stopped the machine and stepped off and they were the only two in the room.*
<Elijah Jurgen:Well, maybe that is something we can discuss over dinner tonight.
<Melissa Jameson:Hmm....I do not know. What makes you think that I would interested in going to dinner with someone of your character?
*Elijah step in closer to Melissa who did not back away. She couldn't. She didn't want to. This man made her feel as if someone turned off the gravity in the room.*
<Elijah Jurgen:Well, Melissa let's just say that I am a very perceptive guy. Besides, my character is just the type you like.
*Melissa could feel her face turn red. She also knew Elijah could see her blushing. She began to stammer trying to talk*
<Melissa Jameson:W-w-well...uh Mr.....Cdr....
<Elijah Jurgen:I will take that as a yes. It is currently 5:15 pm, lets say I come by and pick you up in an hour.
<Melissa Jameson:Uh...ye...su....ok, that'll be fine.
*Elijah laughs and then takes her hand and leads her out of the excercise room. She remained quiet for the walk to her own stateroom afraid of embarrassng herself more.*
