Chapter 44: Chapter 44

Beck wanted to kiss her back but he noticed someone is coming so he pushed her fast from himself, and dragged her behind the pillar, so the other soldiers could pass, he gasped for air as soon as they passed.

Now go to your unit!!! His cooed voice came up, and Alexia smiled at him, his voice is always something she want to hear.

Okay and thanks for this handsome. Beck frowned, she run as soon as she said that, she knows he is going to get pissed up, staying there one more time, will make him yell at her and probably punish her, she run as she lick her lips.

The act of hers didn't go unnoticed, Jesse was coming to Beck, they were supposed to meet there and then he saw Alexia running back and Beck turned running his hand on his lips.

Beck!!!

Shit! He held his chest. Idiot, why did you creep on me like that? He burst out in anger.

Can you stop whining, it's irritating, I am starving where is my snack? Beck's eyes bulge out, and that is when he realized what he had done, he had given Jesse's snack to Alexia.

Come on.

Sorry, I forgot to get it on my way back. That particular snack is not made in the canteen but outside the camp and Alexia can't get any meal at this time, since the canteen service can no longer be open to those cadets and he doesn't want her to go hungry.

Beck, what did you do with my snack? Jesse's gaze didn't leave him, he run his hand through his hair, raking it back, as his hair waved back, he fell like a star, the sun that radiates to give the earth beautiful colors making him more handsome. Did you give my food to Alexia?

Stop talking nonsense, I just told you that, I couldn't get it and where were you the entire afternoon?

Beck! Beck!! Beck!!! Why are you so good in denial? And your facade is so thick that I can't see through it.

Those are the exact words he wanted to say to Beck but anyways, he is not going to rush things, he is going to take it slow and he knows with time, Beck himself will confess to him that he is in love with Alexia, when he turned he realized that, Beck had already left him.

****

During the morning routine, the cadets were having their march passed, although Alexia had tried to fix her hair and tie it neatly the stubborn hair refused to stay, just a few minutes into the exercise, her hair fell, its waves to her back and some covering her face making her more beautiful than those time, she had it tied neatly.

Whoa! She is beautiful. One of the cadets murmured

I wish she could walk like this all day. Yet another mouthed

I think she is the hottest in the camp. Another whispered

I could die from one tender kiss from her. One squeaked.

Alexia, stood there motionlessly, she doesn't know her fate yet, she had watched one of her fellow cadets shave the previous day because of just a falling strand of her hair and they were already done with the exercise, and now it is her turned, she doesn't want to get a shave and these people aren't helping her.

Beck looks at her hair, and everyone is staring at him right now, if he doesn't command her to shave, everyone will think he is partial

Have her shaved. He commanded and then turned, Jesse look at him, and he noticed that Beck had given that with a heavy heart, he walked out of the training ground, and he hit the table.

Aw!!! He screamed in pain. How could she be so clumsy? Don't she fucking knows she is supposed to tie her hair properly. Fuck!!!

Are you cursing? Field Marshall's voice pulled him from his frustration, he turned slowly.

Field Marshall, you are here?

Son, are you alright?

Yes sir, yes field Marshall.

Beck, stop already, stop it, your sister is redeployed here.

What? Beck yelled. A year again, Ashley also take the military exam and passed, she had also gone through the same test that Alexia is going through and she is now a soldier and she is doing pretty well but in another zone, right now, she is redeployed here and Beck is aware that, this is trouble for him.

Come on, she is your sister and I don't see the reason why you shouldn't want her here, she could be of great help with the newly recruited.

Fine, I just want to be left alone.

Alright then, I think by the weekend, you should come home because I thought of discussing something with you.

What discussion? Beck's face is covered with curiosity, field Marshall touches his shoulder.

I know you are having a hard time, that is the reason I am here, not as your superior but as your grandfather.

****

Tina looks at Alexia, with pity as her tears drop as they tie her down to shave her.

Hey, stop sulking, I bet you will still look pretty and the hottest even with a shaved head.

Alexia's beauty is natural and her facial features were all perfect, her beauty is all in the right place, she is what people call, a mirror, always shining, everything looks good on her, and not even a bare head will be a hindrance to her beauty.

When they are done, Alexia used her hand to cover her face as she run into the bathroom to wash up.

Come on Alexia, come out let's go.

I don't want to, Everyone will laugh at me, and just maybe, I want to quit.

What?

Yes, I am tired, it's all a bad idea, I just want to quit. She speaks behind the closed door.

Not now, you can't give up because you have your hair shaved.

He is not going to find me attractive. Tina and Gerald tittered hearing her words, now it's obvious that Beck is the reason why she is feeling inferior.

You shouldn't worry about that, dick, after all, he asked you to shave, so he is not worthy of your love.

Shut up, Gerald, he is just doing what is right, he is impartial, I gave him a point for that, it makes me fall in love with him.

Shut up Tina, and stop talking nonsense, I don't see anything attractive about a cold man that, has no love in his system.

You are only jealous that you are not as strong as him and even if you become a soldier, you can't be like him.

Soldiers, what are you doing there? To the field. A thunderous voice came from behind them, is a voice of a lady, she seems new, she haven't been seen around there before now.

What are you still waiting for? Her voice came up.

Yes, ma!!! The two run out, as the young lady wanted to tap on the door Alexia but the door flew open.
