Chapter 57: Chapter 57

Ouch! Beck look at the young lady that had hit his chest and screamed in pain, Alexia is the one standing in front of him. Sorry, I want to...

No need, I want to speak with you

Uh! Alexia was confused, Beck pulled her hand, dragging her out, she was running behind him to catch up with his pace. Can you stop dragging me? Where are you taking me? She wanted to protest only to realize that, Beck had pushed her gently into his unit. Let me go...

Aren't you the one that needs my help? Alexia looks at him. Field Marshall said you are looking for someone, your cousin right? Alexia frowned, here she thought he wanted to tell her, what he truly feels for her, not knowing it was because of Leah.

This asshole, when is he going to tell me, he loves me? Should I kiss him? Alexia, stop talking nonsense. His handsome is driving me nuts? Alexia was lost in her thought, that she didn't know she was blushing badly Beck is looking at her, he chuckled, and the smile spread on her face as a result of what she is thinking to make her even more beautiful.

Hey you, what are you thinking about? Beck's voice dragged her from her thoughts, she jumped from her chair.

Nothing, what were you saying? Alexia asked.

The question should be what are you thinking?

Oh, nothing, I only worried about my...her phone rang, she look at the caller then stared at Beck, he turned his gaze from her, that look is enough to show that, the caller is no other person than Bernard, he stood up from where he was sitting close to her, he just wants to go far from her, he wants to block his hearing against anything that Bernard will have to say to her.

His heartburn, as he watches Alexia take the call, the conversation wasn't long or anything that is more like two loves, it was just a causal conversation, more like friends not lovers but he still found it uncomfortable.

Gen Beck! She called, and he turned to her. I have to go, Bernard...

Bernard!!! He whispered.

Sorry, Gen. Bernard, I go to him now, I will...

You don't have to explain, just go and don't come back. Alexia look at him, and he turned his gaze on her, she pinned her lips together, wanting to cry but she stop herself, she is tired of crying and begging for things maybe, she should just go with the man that love her instead of the other way around.

She is a woman, a beautiful damsel at that, men should be the ones running after her not the other way, she is the one chasing them. She grabbed the doorknob and open it, and she bang it behind her, Ashley was walking gorgeous towards Beck's quarter, and she saw that she just get out of that same door, she is about to enter. She pulled out the door.

I thought I told you, not to... He paused when he saw that, it was Ashley, not Alexia, his face crumpled, he can't believe that Ashley of all people will apply in his quarter.

Ashley, what do you want?

What is wrong with you? I came to see you, my love. She wanted to touch him but he held her hand in space.

You should stop, don't you know that it's wrong for a female soldier to be seen in the quarter of a male soldier, do you want to cause scandal?

Oh please, you should know that we are siblings.

Siblings? Beck Titter. You are very funny, I thought you said we are in love, do siblings fall in love with each other? What kind of sin, do they call siblings that sleep with one another? Hm! Incest right?

Beck, are you trying to act cunning with me?

I am not, I am trying to put sense in your head because you are asking for things that you know are not possible.

What is not possible? Ashley walks close, he takes a step back.

You should leave, get out.

Why? She let her bosom reveal in front of him. And the next thing her top is gone.

Ashley, what are you doing? Beck turned his face, she was nude in front of him, and the door pulled suddenly, without warning.

Sorry, I am sorry!!! Alexia said running out of the room, Bernard had told her that, she should wait up for him for thirty more minutes and that he will be with her but she thought of coming back to Beck, even when he had told her not to return.

Shit! Beck cursed as he pushed Ashley violently towards the door, for the first time, he is mad at Ashley, she had done a million mistakes against him, and never had he hurt her, he is mad, so mad at her that all he wish is for her to get off his face and didn't care if her upper body is all nude and if others soldier will see her half nude self.

Beck stop, you don't want to watch others feast on your baby sister's nude. Beck felt weak, and that is why Ashley always blackmails him, he is not going to do anything to hurt her, the truth is, he respects his grandmother and protects the child of the woman that made him feel like he has a mother. Beck dragged his keys and left the quarter, he needed to look for Alexia, he need to explain things to her, and to think that he doesn't have her number made it difficult for him to reach her.

The one person he thought could help him, is his grandfather, the field Marshall, he hurries to the Field Marshall.

****

Meanwhile, Alexia meets up with Bernard, she is looking shattered, and she had shared a few tears, Beck is the last person she expected to see a woman nude in front of. She could vouch for Beck that he is the most decent man in the whole wide world.

Seeing that lady with Beck, is heartbreaking, she tries to place the reason, that lady was mad at her right from the day, she steps her foot in the camp, and now she gets, she was picking on her because of Beck, how stupid, could she be, not to see the handwriting on the wall that, soldier Ashley and Gen Beck were an item.

Let me walk you back. Bernard said as he gave her the pack of ice cream, she is craving it that is the reason she pleaded with him to buy her that.

Can you take me out of the camp? Bernard look at her, he was sure that the young lady had something troubling her but he had no idea what could be troubling her, if she had more on her plate, apart from the fact that, she is desperately looking for her cousin Leah.

Why?

Don't worry, I will just ask permission. Bernard pulled her and she falls on him, their face comes closer, and his nose blushes hers, as his face leans closer, covering each itch that is separating the two.
