[CO's Quarters - Deck 9, USS Mac] [Four Days before Serenity] They may have stopped off to complete a survey mission of Anaxis VIII prior to their scheduled stop at Serenity. However Thea hadn't wanted to wait until the festival was over, before celebrating Isaiah's recent promotion. Normally they would be in their quarters back on the station or taking a runabout to disappear for a few days but with that not being possible. Thea had gotten creative and looked forward to seeing her beloved's reaction. The table had been set and the lighting had been lowered to something more romantic. Allowing the Captain to light some candles and play a selection of music from one of the couple's playlists. The food which contained some of Isaiah's favourites was ready to serve, leaving Thea to get dressed. For this occasion she had gone for a dark red halterneck dress, with thigh high splits on either side and two purposefully cut outs that exposed her hips. Her long red hair was left loose in soft curls and her heels sparkled in the light. This was just part one of their evening and Thea, couldn't wait for Isaiah to see it all as she poured two glasses of Champagne.

[CO's Quarters, Deck 9, USS Mac ] Unexpected. That's what Isaiah's recent promotion had been. At least for him. He was still trying to piece together how it had all come about. If he was honest with himself, there was always the possibility that everyone else had politely declined the offer. Still, he was confident that he had some redeeming qualities. Enough to actually convince the command staff that they had seen enough. Now, it was just a matter of living up to those expectation. He had finished his shift, and knew that he was running late. His legs eventually carried him to the CO's quarters. He knew he'd need to get changed and sneak a shower in before he was able to enjoy whatever celebration Thea had in mind. From what he'd put together, it was something intimate just for the two of them in her quarters. Had he not gotten caught up in the lab, he'd probably there and prepared already. As the doors parted to the quarters, he already got a hint of an aroma filling the air. "Mmm... smell's good," he said recognizing one of his favorites. He ventured deeper into the room, trying to read exactly what was happening... and to steal a glance at Thea's dress. He didn't say much to announce his presence, instead... standing there and enjoying the scenery.

[CO's Quarters - USS Mac] The anticipation of seeing Isaiah, his reaction to all of this and having this time together, had Thea's heart racing. So much so that she almost missed the sound of the door opening, before turning at the sound of Isaiah's voice. Her smile brightened as she saw him standing there, the look on his face telling her that he was enjoying the view before him. Of course that had been her intention as a shiver of excitement ran down her spine, letting the momentum carry her towards him. " That's what I was going for and I have all of your favourites" Thea replied with a slight throatiness to her voice. Now that she was closer, her beloved would be able to see the contours of her dress more clearly, especially when she leaned in and handed him his glass. " Dinner's ready when we are and it seemed fitting to greet you with Champagne".That was the advantage of being organised and yet they didn't have to rush anything either, as this was all about him.

[CO's Quarters, Deck 9, USS Mac ] Isaiah listened as Thea explained what was on the menu. As she mentioned that she had prepared some of his favorites, his nose began to filter out their scents one-by-one. The science officer nodded with a smile as he took the glass of champagne into his hand. "You know, you didn't have to go through all this trouble," Isaiah said smiling. He thought about her words, saying that dinner would be ready when they were. "Well, I could grab a quick shower and change. Shouldn't be too long." Standing there next to Thea, he certainly felt underdressed, and felt that a change of wardrobe was probably in order to honor all her efforts.

[CO Quarters - USS Mac] " I know, but you know what I'm like and tonight is all about you and us, without work stuff getting in the way" Thea replied, with a knowing grin. Truth be told, she enjoyed making an effort and spoiling Isaiah. Although the same could be said for her Boyfriend and in all honesty, she hadn't been able to resist a little extra spoiling, before they reached Serenity. They were out amongst the stars and it had provided Thea the perfect opportunity and one that she was going to make the most of. When Isaiah then mentioned, that he could grab a quick shower and get changed. Thea resisted the urge to join in, then again there was plenty of time for that kind of stuff later. " Okay Babe, I'll be right here" she said, leaning in for a sneaky kiss, before taking a sip of her Champagne. Of course she was curious as to what Isaiah would wear, as he always looked good and whilst she waited for his return, sat down on the sofa. Not bothering to gather the material of her dress as it left her leg and thigh exposed.

[CO's Quarters, Deck 9, USS Mac ] It was an argument that Isaiah knew that he wouldn't win, and he wasn't even going to try. Thea had every intention of celebrating his promotion, and he doubted there was any way for him to convince her otherwise. He simply nodded with a smile as he sipped some of the champagne. She told him that she'd be waiting for him to return as he excused himself to go and get ready. It didn't take him long to shower, and luckily he had packed some casual attire for their trip. As he emerged from the room, he had wore a dark suit, shirt and he even dawned an equally dark bowtie. He still held the glass of champagne in his hand as he found he way back into the common area of the quarters. "If I didn't say it before, I'll say it now: Thank you. All of this... really means a lot," he confessed. He even leaned close to give Thea a gentle kiss, further conveying his gratitude.

[CO's Quarters - USS Mac] Isaiah never failed to make her heart skip a beat whenever she was in close proximity to her beloved. Even sitting there on the sofa, trying to focus on looking sexy and not fidget whilst she waited for him to return. Had Thea grasping her champagne glass and taking a few extra sips in order to quell the rising anticipation at the prospect of some alone time. That was easier said than done when he emerged from the bedroom, dressed in a dark suit, shirt and matching bow tie. Leaving Thea momentarily speechless and staring in appreciation. Wondering how she got so lucky as her heart raced and missed several beats. That's what it felt like as Isaiah then made his confession before kissing her. The kiss conveyed everything and when it ended, her voice was a little breathless as she finally found her voice. " You're very welcome Babe and I wanted to do this because I love you so much and I couldn't pass up the opportunity to do something fun and romantic to celebrate such a well deserved achievement".Thea was incredibly proud of her boyfriend and of his achievements. Loving how they always supported one another and appreciated each other's careers.

[CO's Quarters, Deck 9, USS Mac ] Isaiah continued to smile as Thea explained her reasoning for all of this. He took a deep breath. "I love you too," he confessed effortlessly. Thea had a loving heart, which always led her to think of others far more than herself. His eyes slowly turned from her and towards what she had prepared. "Well, I suppose we best get this celebration underway, then." He turned slightly and stretched out his hand holding his glass, indicating to Thea that she could lead the way, as his other hand rested gently at the small of her back. "After you."

[CO's Quarters - USS Mac] Thea never had a reason to question Isaiah's love for her and even though they said it many times. There was just something about hearing it that made her heart sing, as though it was the first time all over again. It was a genuine, unwavering kind of love, that kept her going, especially if they had to spend time apart, but not tonight. Because tonight was a culmination of all of her secret plans to give Isaiah all of her attention and for them to enjoy every second. Still there was that smile, that would tell him what his words had meant to her, before his attention shifted briefly to the meal she had helped cook. " Yes, that sounds good to me" she replied, as Isaiah suggested that she lead the way. Her reply was stifled by a pleasant gasp, upon feeling his hand on the small of her back. Resulting in a grin as her response as she led the way over to the table. " I hope you're hungry.. although there'll be dessert later".

[CO's Quarters, Deck 9, USS Mac ] Isaiah followed Thea towards the table, as she agreed that it sounded like a good idea to get their celebration underway. As they reached the table, he could again see that many of his favorites were present upon the table. She said that she hoped that he was hungry and reminded him that there would be dessert later. The science officer nodded slowly as his lips curled into a smirk. "I don't think that'll be a problem," Isaiah said with a smile. He then moved over to Thea's chair and pulled it out so that she could take her seat at the table.

[CO's Quarters - USS Mac] " I didn't think it would be" Thea teased lightly, upon hearing Isaiah's reply and seeing that telltale smirk. With Isaiah she didn't have to spell it out or be obvious when turning an innocent enough phrase, into something with a hinted meaning. Of course there was no specific timeframe for that literally and otherwise, which just made the anticipation worthwhile. Now it was all about enjoying the different dishes on offer, drinking champagne and talking as her beloved pulled out a, chair for her. " Thank you, Babe" she said, brushing against him slightly and purposefully as she took her seat. Okay she might of taken the teasing up a notch but it was all in good fun and knew Isaiah would appreciate the playfulness.

[CO's Quarters, Deck 9, USS Mac ] It was a subtle touch, but an intentional one Isaiah thought. It was the experience of knowing his girlfriend and how affectionate and playful she could be at times that hinted as much. After she took her seat, he leaned down behind her, his cheek pressed gently against hers as he whispered softly. "Well played," he uttered. He gently kissed the side of her neck, as turnabout was fairplay. Still, he took a deep breath, the scent she was wearing alluring. He stood up, and then rounded the table to take his seat. His eyes managed to take in the setting once more and the variety that it held. There was certainly no way the two of them would be able to eat all of this. Yet, he surmised it was more about sampling all that was present. He wasn't entirely certain where he wanted to begin, so the first thing he grabbed was a bowl filled with a colorful salad. He scooped himself out a small helping and looked across the table to see what Thea had gone for first, or if she desired the salad as well. There was no rule of course about what to begin with, but Isaiah saw it as a way to ease into the experience before him. After all, he did want to keep room for dessert.

[CO's Quarters - USS Mac] If Thea was expecting some kind of comeback, thanks to her not so subtle move. It certainly wasn't how she quite imagined as she felt Isaiah's cheek against hers. Before fore her boyfriend uttered those two words and gently kissed the side of her neck. She could deny it of course, but where was the fun in that when he caused a shiver to run down her spine. " Okay you win that one" she gasped as he then took the seat opposite. The tease was far from over and only paused for the time being as the food took their focus and Isaiah opted to begin with one of the salads. Taking a second or two to make her choice, Thea then went for the steak and spicy shrimp combo. Spooning a suitable serving onto her plate, before speaking. " Would you like some of this Babe?" she offered, wondering when to tell him, just how involved she had been with the mini feast.

[CO's Quarters, Deck 9, USS Mac ] Isaiah could see that Thea had opted to begin with protein. He smiled, and could certainly agree with her choice. As she offered it to him, asking if he'd have some, he reached out to grab the dish. "I think this will be my next stop," he said as he took hold of the dish and brought it closer to himself. He looked around the table, still marveling at the set up. "Exactly when did you find the time to do all of this?" Isaiah asked. He knew that he'd been quite busy today, but Thea was a Captain. He had to imagine that her schedule had been far more demanding than his own.

[CO's Quarters - USS Mac] " Good choice" Thea replied as Isaiah answered her and reached out to take the dish full of delicious protein. As tempting as it was to dig right into her own serving, Thea knew it made sense to at least load her plate up properly. Especially since she had hardly eaten anything, in preparation for tonight and immediately reached for the jalapeño poppers. Spice was certainly something that she adored, but there was something or someone who she adored more. So when Isaiah enquired as to how she had found the time to do all of this. Thea grinned as she took the opportunity to be honest with her boyfriend. " I had some help from the kitchen, they prepared most of it and then once my shift ended. I made a couple of your favourites, including the spaghetti".Okay they were some of the easier dishes, but Thea was happy that she had made them without burning anything or herself.
