Keira"s face was extremely crumpled when Drey, together with the girls, arrived at the Medical Center."What happened?" Lana asked with a worried tone.
"Nothing, I just tripped. I"m fine now, no broken or twisted bones," Keira said as she glared at Drey.
"Oh my gosh, why are you killing me with your eyes?" Drey whispered.
Keira"s lips twisted into a wry smile as she said, "I will really kill you if the boyfriend issue is not rectified to Zach! From now on, don"t you dare come near me whenever we are inside the base!"
Drey laughed, "Is that it? Just let him think like that. Trust me, it will serve a good purpose in the future. Geez, girl… Let"s take our time once we are inside and enjoy the ride afterward."
Then, he added, "Complete Physical Examination will take a few days, so cadet candidates are required to stay in the billeting area provided by the Academy in AFZMC. So, if we pa.s.s today"s test, you will surely have more time afterward."
Keira pouted her lips and said, "I already told him but I don"t think he made out what I said. It"s frustrating if he really believes that I"m in a special relations.h.i.+p with you. How can I pursue him then? So, make sure you clarify everything if you have the chance or you will really end up dead!"
"Alright… I will so be at ease, sis. Can you walk? Or should I carry you?" Drey asked and quickly closed his mouth when Keira narrowed her eyes at him.
"Hahaha… I can"t imagine you Drey carrying a woman. It, for sure, will be very creepy to look at!" May said teasingly.
Drey arched an eyebrow and said, "I can"t imagine myself too, but if it"s anyone among you girls, that"s okay. I will even carry you three altogether!"
The bantering was interrupted by Field Marshal Chan"s voice.
"Did you have plans to call me and inform me what happened? If it was not for Zach informing me, then perhaps you would really not say a thing, right?" He asked with a furrowed eyebrows.
Keira smiled at her father, then nodded, which made Field Marshal sigh deeply.
"It"s nothing, Dad. Besides, I don"t want you to worry about this kind of tiny thing. It"s just a simple bruise. Zach informed you?" Keira asked in amazement. She quickly stood up and hugged her father.
"He knows me! He knows me! He remembers me, Dad!" She burst out in joy while all the people inside the room ended up exchanging meaningful gazes while Field Marshal let out another long, deep sigh.
...….
Zach was staring at his laptop with a blank expression for a while already.
"Weird," he muttered, which did not escape Torin"s sharp ears.
"What"s weird, bro?" Torin asked and looked at Zach"s screen.
They were formulating a good plan to submit by the end of this week on how they could penetrate the terrorist base at Country X and save the lives of some of their countrymen who were captured during the terrorist attack on one of the tourist spots in that area.
It was reported that there were around fifty civilians from their country captured by the terrorists and among them was an important figure. This mission was top secret and the media were all shut to report anything concerning the matter.
Torin"s eyebrows creased because the sketch looked fine to him, then he grinned at the thought of what a cadet mentioned just a while ago. He was actually itching to tease his friend but the timing was off because of the seriousness on Zach"s face as he reviewed the plan.
"It"s perfect timing," he mused inwardly as he smiled.
"Bro, nothing is weird on that screen. It looks perfectly fine with me though. But if you are seeing yourself carrying a beautiful, young woman in your arms on that screen, well that definitely looks weird to me you know…" Torin said in his most serious tone as he looked intently at Zach"s monitor.
With his eyes still at Zach"s monitor, Torin added, "So, do you also find it weird? Or how was it? Did you feel something weird? I bet it feels good carrying such a beauty right?"
*Toink!*
"Ouch, man!" Torin exclaimed when his head was. .h.i.t by the notebook which Zack was holding.
"Get ready, because I will deploy you in this mission. You"ll be in the first batch!" Zach said with an arched eyebrow.
Torin with his unamused face complained, "What? Bro, can you, at least, let me have a love life just once before deploying me anywhere?"
"Stop babbling nonsense or your one year vacation from the battlefield will be down to six months only." Zach declared before he left Torin who just ended up scratching his head.
Zach then let out a long sigh as he walked and looked at his uniform. "Why do I still smell her?" He thought inwardly because Keira"s scent seemed not to leave him. But for some reason, he liked how she smelled…
Then, he shook his head… He was too old to get affected by a teenager.
