I didn’t know how I had survived this long without her, but now that she was in my life, I knew I would never be able to live without her again.
The next morning, Carmela and I had to be up early and out the door of my private quarters at an ungodly hour, but there was a significant amount of work to be done today and we couldn’t stall. Even though I knew webothwould have rather cuddled naked beneath the sheets.
I needed her help with repairing several robots that had gotten ‘sick’ and needed a few new parts before they could be functionally operational again and return to their programmed duties on the ship.
Carmela squeezed my hand delicately and gave me an affectionate smile.
“I don’t want to say goodbye to you this morning,” she said, her voice laced with disappointment.
I felt clingy to her, too. “I know, darling.” I leaned in and kissed her softly on the lips. “Last night was amazing.”
Carmela’s cheeks turned pink, but she smiled. “I can’t stop thinking about it.”
“Me either. It was fantastic. I think the best yet.”
“You might be right,” Carmela agreed. “I’m getting tingly all over at the mere memory of it.”
“I never want to erase those sexy images of you from my brain,” I admitted.
We were exiting my room, hand in hand, and started walking down the wing of the corridor when we were abruptly interrupted by a sullen Amada. She seemingly came out of nowhere from behind us, or at least, neither of us had noticed her before.
“Gross. No one wants to hear about your love life. Keep it in the bedroom. No onecares. It’sdisgusting,” Amada complained.
Carmela quickly released my hand and turned around to look at Amada. Carmela’s face was etched in shock that Amada had heard our private conversation.
I glared at Amada and faced her, standing protectively in front of Carmela. I wasn’t in the mood to deal with this drama shit from Amada so early in the morning.
“Amada, please, leave us alone. What are you even doing in this part of the ship?”
“I’m making my rounds,” Amada declared with a casual shrug.
I knew she was lying. She had no reason to be in this area of the ship unless it was to keep tabs on what I was doing with Carmela.
I wasn’t sure what was worse. Amada sneaking up on us and calling us out or the fact that she was clearly intentionally stalking us and spying on us. It made me extremely uncomfortable, either way.
Carmela was red in the face, looking mortified as she warily glanced between me and Amada as if she expected us to start screaming at each other any second.
“You have no business being in this area,” I told Amada flatly, callingherout on her lies.
“I’ll see you later,” Carmela quickly said and then gave me a paltry smile as she scurried off down the hallway, trying not to cringe too hard as she departed.
I tried to stop her, but she ducked around a corner before I had a chance to do so.
I directed my frustration and anger toward Amada, which was exactly where it belonged in the first place.
“How dare you interrupt our morning like that,” I scolded. “You embarrassed Carmela. Our private conversations are none of your business.”
Amada’s laughter was vicious and condescending. “I’m allowed to walk wherever I want on the ship to check on things. If your little friend there gets embarrassedthateasily, then it’s really notmyproblem.”
“You shouldn’t have sneaked up on us,” I said.
“I just happened to walk in the same direction you were going.” Amada gave me a harmless pout. “Call it a coincidence. What, you two own the corridors, now?”
I knew it was no coincidence. “You are spying on us.” I wasn’t afraid to call out Amada and try to make her own up to her mistakes.
Amada twisted her face into disgust. She wasn’t going to take my bait this time, but I knew I’d get her eventually. All it was going to take was one wrong move and then she’d slip up. Predators always got sloppy when they become overconfident.
“Ew. Don’t flatter yourself. As if I want to know about your sex life with that mousy midget.”
