Chapter 56: Chapter 56

Go on, stop staring and give us the answer, I saw you with him at the field yesterday.

Now soldiers let's start, focus on your weapon. The sergeant shouted, distracting the three.

Don't think you are free, you will tell us, after this time out. Gerald said as he run to join his team, Alexia is having difficulty zeroing her pistol, she signed more than a hundred times.

You should concentrate more on it, instead of whining. Tina's voice came up.

But I am trying to fix it but it's still not...

Hey, let me help you. Alexia froze on the spot, as she heard Beck's voice, slowly she turned with her shaved head and look at Beck. Do you want my help or you will just stare?

Sorry, of cause, I need help.

Fine, give me that, you should listen carefully as I teach you how to do it. He grabbed the gun and then place the headphone-style ear protection and earplugs to protect her against the noise of the gunshots. Alexia blushed as his hand scratched her shaved head.

She move closer to him, as he guards her hand on the pistol, while Beck was busy teaching her, she was lost in the closeness between the two, and moisturized with Beck's scent, that their lips are almost kissing and Beck wasn't paying attention to her actions.

Soldier Lee, you should join your comrade, we will start over in a couple of minutes. Jesse's voice distracted the two.

Thanks, Gen. Alexia said running away from Beck, Beck ran his hand on his neck, and Jesse move closer to Beck.

That girl will be the end of you.

Stop talking nonsense, instead of worrying about me, you should worry about those bags under your eyes, those dark circle under your eyes is enough to tell that, you are having Insomnia

Stop trying to change the topic what do you and...

Back to training everyone. Beck screamed, and Jesse signed, just when the training started May jumped on the shoulder of the two.

You this silly girl, where have you been? Jesse asks.

To your unit, I was pretty hungry, I don't have anything to eat at my unit, so I decided to invade yours.

You did what? Jesse yelled, Beck look at him. Sorry, I was just surprised.

Such an idiot, anyways, I didn't get in because I realized that, I left the key in my unit and I am too tired to go back to get the keys, so I return to Beck's unit.

So you eat my food, didn't you know how I managed to fix those? Beck frown, how did he end up having a troublesome friend?

Go get a girlfriend and...

Why does he need to get a girlfriend? Ashley's voice came up, and May looked at her, Ashley is one person that May hate the most in this wild world.

What do you prefer, that he stay lonely all his life?

May...

Don't you have respect for your subordinate or do you want me to punish you? May is Ashley's superior in the military, Ashley frown as she makes her way from them. Stupid!!!

May, why did you do that? May turned to Jesse.

She is way too irritating for me to stand her presence. Beck and Jesse look at her. Stop staring, just look at how Alexia is having so much fun practicing her shooting range. It looks like the prime minister's daughter is born with talent, not just beauty but with a brain, what a complete package!

I don't think so, I guess she must have some flaw.

Jesse, stop talking nonsense, everyone has flaws, but I prefer Alexia to Ashley.

May, are you trying to matchmake Alexia with Beck?

You, will you prefer Ashley that is mannerless and a desperate bitch for our very own Beck? Beck looked at the two, they were talking about him like he is not there. Dude tell me, who do you prefer? May grabbed his hand, those soldiers in their camp always wander how Beck and May, became close friends, they always see the man as someone cold and aloof, and coming close to him is something that seems impossible. Yet this woman is close to him and doesn't feel irritated around her.

Prefer what? Beck asked moving his gaze from Alexia that is playing like a child after their training with her friends.

Come on, tell me, is Alexia right? May said he look at her without expression, she wanted to bug him till he say something.

Buddies, can you tell me, what name will suit a girl? Beck looks at him.

Sweet! Sugar! Cupcakes!

May, stop talking nonsense, I am not talking about a pet name but a real name, the thing is, my friend...

I got to go, field Marshall needs my attention. Beck said, walking out of the two, May was about to say something when Jesse's phone rang.

Sorry, dear, I think I have to go as well. Jesse rushed out.

What a friend! May complain, turning around she hit Gen Bernard. Sir, I am sorry.

It's fine.

I go on now. May said running away from him. Bernard gave her a small smile.

***

Meanwhile, Beck is right in the field Marshall office, waiting for the man to get off the phone.

Sir, did you send it to me? Beck asked Field Marshall to look at him.

Did you know Alexia is in trouble?

Trouble? Beck stands rushing to the door.

Beck, I don't mean those dangers. Beck held his chest.

Grandpa, you scared me.

You love her right?

This is different, I don't want her hurting that doesn't mean that I am in love with her.

Fine, keep telling yourself and make yourself believe what you want to believe, you should go to Alexia, she needs your help, she is in search of her missing Cousin.

If she needs my help she will come to me.

And if she doesn't come to you, does that mean you will not help her? Field Marshall asked Beck, to come close to him.

Grandpa, why do I feel you want me to have something with her? You and I know that you could help her?

Yes, I could help her but it will not be faster like yours and yes, I want you and her to have something going, I need a great-grandchild, I am not get any younger and you know that. Come to think of it, if you don't act fast, someone else will take her away from you and I heard that, Gen Bernard is interested in her. Beck looks at him. Yes, I also heard that her parents are arranging a marriage alliance with Gen. Bernard.

Grandpa, since when did you start paying attention to rumors? Beck didn't wait for his grandfather to answer his questions, field Marshall smiled as he saw how Beck's face crumpled, hearing that his baby will be in the hands of another man, which is Bernard, his long-time enemy. At least, he had passed his message, Beck had just pulled the door, and he collide with someone at the door.
