Chapter 77: Chapter 77

Beck and...

Jesse. May add as she licks on her ice cream.

No, Beck and Bernard.

What? May screamed spitting out the ice cream from her mouth, they were relaxing with the ice cream after the activities before Beck's message came up.

Yes, are you alright?

I am fine, I need to go.

Hey wait, Beck will drop you off.

No, he will ask Bernard to drop me off, I don't want that. May yelled as she hurry towards the exit door but she was fast to catch sight of Beck and Bernard, she turned and take the other exit door, and off she goes, Alexia was confused by her sudden uneasiness, she wonder what she had with Bernard that is making her avoid him.

Hon! Beck's voice calls her from her thoughts, she looks at him.

Handsome, how did you know that I am there? He point at her ring, Alexia smiled, she had no idea that this husband of herself will place a tracker on her ring, so he could reach and know her whereabouts on time, to her, she was just wearing a ring.

Hi! Bernard said.

Hi! Where have you been? Alexia pulled him into a tight hug, he wasn't expecting Alexia to do that to him. Why haven't you been taking my calls? Bernard didn't know what to say, telling her that he had been avoiding her because he realized that she is not in love with him and thought that, the one man he competes with is the one she picked over him.

Hon, I will leave you two to talk. Beck peck her as he excused the both of them, Alexia nodded give Beck a small smile, and turned to Bernard. Come on, are you still mad at me?

No, I am not.

I know you are, and I am sorry, sorry I hurt your feelings, sorry, I didn't even give you a chance to woo me before I jumped on the man in my dreams when he appears.

It's fine, I understand that, Beck had given his heart to a woman for the first time, it's everywhere in the military base, at first when Beck went missing with you, I have no idea that girl was you and when Beck returned, every one of us, noticed that he change and he is hurting because you have a fiance, that is the reason he went for that special mission that took him a year, he wanted to forget about you but he can't, so who am I that should come between two lovers.

So you are not mad at me?

No, I am not, you were fair to me, right from the onset, and you have always made it clear that you don't love me more than just a friend, so I am not mad, the truth is, I am happy that you didn't push me completely and you didn't hide your feelings, I have always suspected that you got your eyes on Beck, I see the way you smile at him, I only don't want to admit it but the truth is, I already got the picture just playing blind eyes but not to worry, if you have any issues convincing your dad about your choice of man, just call me, I will be only one call away.

Thanks, but I am sure, I will be able to convince him, now that we are married.

You two are married? Bernard for the first time, noticed the ring on her wedding finger.

Yes, we couldn't wait for anything else, there is no need to wait for a big ceremony if two hearts agree then a party is more or less useless. Bernard nodded.

I go on now.

Wait, I thought you came in Beck's car, how are you...

You don't have to worry about it, I will be fine, I will book a cab to take me home.

Tomorrow is my parent's anniversary, it's a small party, I will like for you to come.

I will, if I am chance. Bernard said and turned, he didn't wait for her to say anything, Beck walked back to Alexia, watching Bernard back as he walked through the exit door.

Come on Hon, let's go home.

Did you think that, I was fair to him? Beck places his hand on hers, he understands that Alexia wanted nothing but happiness for everyone around her but she is human and she can't satisfy everyone in the world, being a human, will make her not to be able to please everyone and make all happy at the same time.

Oh, my beauty! You shouldn't worry too much about Bernard, give him time, he will come around and I am sure, very soon, he will meet the woman that will give him happiness and love, then it wouldn't be unrequited love.

Talking about love, did you think May and Bernard could create something that could lead to love?

Beck looked at her, he had no idea how this love of his life mind work.

Bernard and May are no friends, if there is anyone that is friend of May, is me, and Jesse and May is not in love with Jesse, although she use to have a crush on me...

She is crushing on you? Alexia screamed grabbing Beck's face to look at him.

You are mine and no one else.

Silly, she is not the type that forces things on people, she easily gives up on things, she is not the type that is extremely pushy to get what she wanted and for the record, she had a bigger crush on someone that I and Jesse don't know, that even in her drunk state, she kept talking about him

Oh! Alexia said, Beck pulled her hand.

Yes, so you have nothing to be afraid of, even though Jesse is aware that she has a big crush on an unknown person, he still loves to tease her with me, I don't want her to feel uncomfortable around me because we are her only friends, so I always act that I have no idea what the two always banter about.

Do you think that person is a soldier as well?

I don't know, only she could tell us or maybe it's an unrequited love. Beck comment as he opens the car door for Alexia.

I think I have an idea, instead of her suckling over some unrequited love, I could hook her and Bernard, Bernard is a nice man, handsome, understanding, and every woman's dreams.

Beck's face go sour as he watch Alexia praise another man, she turned and look at the face of the person she is having the conversation with.

Beck is already behind the wheel driving home.

Handsome, are you listening?

Is Bernard more handsome than me?
