VC Chapter 12-The Rear Admiral

Sector 1600

Planet 1601

January 21, 2052

A well-built Caucasian man with stubble woke up beside a brunette sleeping soundly behind the covers. Her mess of brown hair had been scattered around her head on the pillow as she woke up to noise made by the man.

“Hey.” the brunette whispered.

“Oh, hello there.” the man was caught off guard as he was putting on his clothes he had scattered on the ground the night before.

“Where are you going?” the brunette sat upright and grabbed the cover of the bedsheets to cover her breasts.

“I've got work to do babe.” the man responded with a British accent.

“So soon Tarbuck?” the girl frowned in disappointment.

“Yeah, don't forget your knickers.” Tarbuck picked up a light pink panty from the ground and tossed it to the girl.

“Last night was fun. We should do this more often Mr. Rear Admiral. I can see how you are living up to your rank.” the girl flashed a smile followed by a wink as she secretly put her panties on underneath the covers.

“Yeah, sure was.” Tarbuck buttoned his dress shirt and adjusted his officer uniform as he looked at the mirror making sure his rank insignia pins were flush to the collar.

A knock of their door interrupted their conversation as Tarbuck dashed to open the door. Outside the door was Lieutenant Franklin with a clipboard dressed appropriately as she always does per NB regulations.

“Yes Franklin?” Tarbuck put his body halfway from the entrance to block the woman on his bed.

“Urgent meeting in five minutes at the boardroom.” Franklin managed to catch a glimpse of the brunette in the background putting on her bra.

“Ok, see you there.” Tarbuck eyed Franklin with a small grin after he was caught red-handed.

Franklin walked away looking slightly disappointed and walked down the hall.

“Oye!” Tarbuck shouted from his room.

“Yeah?” Franklin turned her head.

“Want to check out my new ships that I was talking about earlier in the hangar later tonight?” Tarbuck offered.

“Sure, sounds good.” Franklin flashed a smile and turned around the corner.

“Who was that?” the brunette hugged Tarbuck from behind.

 “Oh it's nothing. Just work calling.” Tarbuck kissed the girl on the cheek and dashed out of his room to head towards the boardroom.
