Annabelle finished up the last of her grading the children schoolwork and darted from the classroom to get freshened up. She had made the calls and was looking for a relaxing time with Samantha and Jack in Ten Forward for their Dinner Date.
She entered Samantha's Quarters to assist with her getting ready.
Sam was still uneasy about this especially after Annabelle's behaviour regarding Jack however she decided to make an evening out of it. A low cut red dress with a cut up one thigh, her hair was down and heels. "Sorry, you missed the show." Sam spoke hearing the doors open and close, only one other was permitted to do it so she knew it was Annabelle.
"Maybe I ought to cancel our get together with Colonel Frost and keep you for myself. You look very ravishingly beautiful, Sammie." Annabelle smiled warmly at Samantha. Herself was wearing fuchsia A-line dress that clung to her accentuating her curves and high heel sandals. "Relax and enjoy the outing."
Jack was getting ready for dinner. It wasn't so much a dinner date because Annabelle was dating Samantha, though he did worry about what happened after he left and didn't push Sam for answers because it was private for her.
A simple white silk shirt and black trousers formed the attire for the evening, nothing too flash but nothing too casual. He was Acting First Officer, he needed to maintain a respectable appearance even while off duty.
==Ten Forward ==
Annabelle walked in with Samantha, holding her hand in support to be seen in public other than being in uniform and having dinner with her Boss. Annabelle had her work cut out for her. Even though she admired Jack, but her love for Samantha was worth the sacrifice.
The table set aside for them was nice, apparently extra effort made with a view of the stars in the corner of the room. Even a screen was put up for privacy....how classy! We are shown to our table, also classy in its layout. "I wonder what Jack will say!"
Annabelle looked at the set up and smiled. "I dunno. It feels like being at a restaurant with a view to enjoy." She smiled widely at Samantha with a bit lust in her eyes. "You're really beautiful when you want to, Sammie."
Jack walked in about 2 minutes later and was lead to where the table was set up. "Ladies. I hope I've not kept you waiting too long?"
"Jack. Welcome." Sam said seeing Jack appear. "Please, there is a space next to Annabelle for you."
Annabelle nodded "I was about to ravish Samantha. Isn't she beautiful?" Looking at Samantha after a quick glance at Jack. He was handsome in his simple attire. She reigned in herself to enjoy the company.
"Oh, well. I can always take a walk and come back in say...twenty minutes?" Jack joked as he took a seat next to Annabelle. "And it's good to see her out of the greens." He paused. "Bout time too."
"Oh no! You're here now. Knowing how dedicated you are towards duty. You'll miss out on an excellent meal and in good company." Annabelle smiled warmly as she slipped her hand onto Samantha's thigh discretely under the table. "Isn't that right, Samantha?" Looking at her.
"Yes, you're here so let's eat." Sam smiled while speaking, Annabelle's hand finding the cut on her dress and resting on her bare thigh.
"Alright." Jack looked at the menu of available options. "Have you ladies decided what you are having?"
"The fish course for me." Samantha spoke, now she returned the gesture and placed a hand on Annabelle's thigh.
"I'll have the same as Sammie." Annabelle relaxed back in her seat as she folded her menu to be taken away when they ordered. "I bet it is different being on the bridge instead of back in some musty office on the lower decks, Jack."
"Different." Jack spoke. "But I'd rather be back downstairs than up." Jack said wishing this mission would be over with soon.
"I'm glad that Samantha is okay." Annabelle looked warmly at Samantha. "It's amazing how people can sleep with all that noise going on around them, much less recover."
"You get used to it being a marine very quickly." Sam spoke smiling.
Annabelle returned the smile and looked at Jack, getting ready to speak when the waitress appeared and asked for their orders and drinks.
"Battered cod and chips please." Jack ordered feeling somethig different tonight. "JD and coke for a drink." Jack handed over the menu.
"Oh ummm. I'll have steak, medium rare with potatoes and gravy. For drink I'll have wine, sweet and white please."Samantha ordered then handed her menu over.
"I'll have chicken, fried with potatoes, salad. As for drink, milk." Annabelle spoke as she handed over her menu to the waitress.
Waitress nodded as she took each order and the offered menus. "Drinks will be brought up soon." She departed from the group to fetch the drinks.
"So, tell me, how did you two meet?" Jack knew most of the details but both sides of the story helped paint a whole picture.
"We met when I brought the school children into the Marine Section for a field trip as part of a series of Field trip to the various departments about the ship. Got to talking with Sammy while those troops assigned to the various displays answered questions from the children," Annabelle smiled at Samantha. "I invited her to one my social gatherings us civilians hold once a week."
"Hooking up during work hours Sam....how so unlike you." Jack joked and chuckled.
Sam glared at Jack, stuck her tongue out and spoke. "Woman's prerogative to keep men guessing." Sam's hand on Annabelle's thigh gave it a gentle squeeze.
Annabelle laughed softly at the antics of Samantha and returned the squeeze to Samantha's thigh. "One thing led to the next. And Samantha is blossoming just nicely." Her foot brushed up against Jack's lower leg gently.
Jack's eyes widened briefly, he knew it had to be Annabelles because Samantha was too far away. 'What is she playing at?' He thought to himself but smiled, Annabelle would know why, her antics noticed.
Annabelle turned her focus to Samantha, just as the food arrived and served giving everyone time to relax abit. "Oh this smells good."
"This ought to be good." Jack spoke looking down at his meal, he'd been looking forward to this all day.
Sam looked at the food as it was laid in front of them, it was always the issue for her that someone else's food looked more appealing than her own when it came time to eat. She let go of Anna's thigh and picked up her knife and fork. "It would be poor form to waste it." She smiled.
Jack began to eat but his mind often wondered to the antics of Annabelle. He smiled as he ate, a while since he got that kind of attention. "This....is good." It was really good.
Annabelle nodded as she ate also. Speaking between bites of food. "Have you found anyone that interested you, Jack?" Deciding to drop the formalities of rank, hoping that both Jack and Samantha could do the same.
Jack shook his head. "It takes a certain woman to be with a marine, we lead a dangerous life and that's a lot of emotional baggage that they will have to carry around. Honestly because of that I've not really been looking, but I wont turn it away if it came my way......does get lonely sometimes."
Annabelle looked thoughtful as she took another bite of her meal, finishing the last of it up. "There is a social gathering coming up later. Maybe you could find time to show up. It's at 1600 hours in holodeck 2. Everyones welcome." She turned and smiled at Samantha. "It does a person good to just sluff off and be social. " She turned her attention back to Jack. "Ask Samantha." Giving a wide smile as she reached out and gave Samantha free hand a gentle squeeze.
"It's true." Samantha had to admit. "Just don't try dancing in heels, too difficult." She smiled as she too finished the last of her meal but was glad for the closeness of Annabelle and a friend Jack.
"Sure, I'm off duty then, should be fun." Jack replied with a smile. It was good to see Samantha have someone, having done what he did and put it off for so long he'd forgotten the perks of a companion.
"No uniforms is the only requirement for these functions. Makes it easier to mix and mingle." Annabelle leaned back in her seat as took a sip of her drink.
"You never know, you might find that one you have haven't been looking for." Sam smiled leaning against Annabelle. "Sometimes things just......happen."
Annabelle wrapped her arm casually around Samantha shoulder. Not caring who saw it. She was looking thoughtful.
"So who wants dessert?" Sam spoke feeling Annabelle put an arm around her, unable do the same her hand rested on her thigh again.
"I have my dessert right here," Annabelle whispered into Samantha's ear. Then louder, "I'll have a bowl of strawberry ice-cream." She looked over at Jack to see what he wanted.
"The same actually." Jack replied. "You two look cute together." I smiled knowing Samantha would no doubt kill me for that later.
