Wrong choise
He still didn't know how he attracted her. Now he was standing in the same spot as he did over a year ago. Their place was one little beach, hidden from eyes of other people couple miles away from Cairns. They were meeting there every time when they had a shore leave last two months. He was waiting her. He knew that maybe she won't be there, but he would wait her there till sunrise. She was gorgeus, even if she was the most tempered person he ever met. She always was there for him, even when she almost get killed because he was distracted from the phone call he received from NAVCOM about him to call his family ASAP. He knew it was about his mother. Later that day she came and asked him was he ok. Their first met on that beach was after his mother funeral. He never find out how she found him. He sighed, while he was remembering that day.
FLASHBACK Buffer was sitting on the beach and he was looking into the water. That day was one of the worst day in his life-his mother's funeral. There were people what he didn't see in the years, who never called to ask how is she. Buffer always call them hypocrites. The vigil before the funeral was torturing for him. He didn't want to react, but he heard how his "great" cousins were talking how he was on the ship in her last moments and not there with her.
"I know I will find you here." said Bomber and sit by his side.
"What are you doing here? You should to be at your late birthday party, shouldn't you?" asked Buffer not looking into a woman by his side.
"They are not going to notice that I am not there. Spider is flirting with some girl, Swain is at home with Sally and Chloe, RO went home, CO and XO are in the pub, but hardly they will notice that I left. ET is..."
"Flirting with Nav." finished Buffer.
"Yeah. I promised you that I will buy you a drink. You saved me remember?" asked Bomber and pushed him lightly.
"I am not in the mood..."
"I know, so for that I bring it." she said as she showed him the six pack that was in her hand.
"Bomber..."
"I know that you are not in the mood for talking. You lose your mother. I know how is to lose someone who is very important to you." Buffer looked into Bomber who take a deep breath and continued. "My father died when I was a kid. I don't even remember him anymore."
"I didn't know. You never mentioned your family before." said Buffer and took one beer.
"I didn't talk with my mum till yesterday. After all that with Fynn, I called her and we talked."
"Why you two were in fight?"
"She didn't liked my idea to join a Navy. She told me if I join the Navy I can forget on her. I turn and left. That was three years ago."
"Are you fix things with her now?"
"Kind of. I've asked her why she didn't want me to join the navy. She told me it was because of my dad" smiled Bomber.
"Your dad?" Buffer asked.
"Yeah, he was in the navy, he was petty officer when he was killed. It was a boarding that went wrong." "Sorry to hear that." Buffer said "You never mentioned your family either." said Bomber and dashed her tears away.
"I grown up without my father too. He was a simple fisherman. He died in ship accident. Then me and my mum were alone. Life wasn't easy for us, but we manage to survive. No one from her family couldn't forget her that she married for a fisherman."
"Why not? You are not judge about people what are they. You judge about them when you see their personality." asked Bomber and take a sip of her beer.
"Well her family was family who had little bit more than others. They were rich. When she found that she is ill, that she has a breast cancer, she forbid me to tell anyone from her family. She didn't want them there. She didn't want to pity her." said Buffer and blink to dash tears away who started to collect in his eyes. Then he continued. "I told them that she is dying three weeks before she died. Then they came on the funeral and start to..."
"To talk how you weren't there in her last moments." finished Bomber.
"How did you know?"
"Well, I know these kind of people. They are hypocrites. And they think that they are better than others. And that world is their." said Bomber and Buffer smiled. He thought, his first real smile in days. They stayed there for a while and then they left. Buffer walk Bomber home.
"Thanks for..." started Buffer.
"You don't need to thank me for anything." interupted Bomber and squeeze his hand.
"You skip your birthday party and you were sitting with me all the time."
"Well that wasn't bad either. I was in great company, and it was a great visiual sight. And sunset was romantic." she said and grin on him. He didn't know why, but he pull her closer and kissed her. She answered on his kiss and it was first time that they spend a night together.
END OF FLASHBACK They weren't in relationship after that night. They started their relationship after that hostage situation on Hammersley with Jilla. He figure out how much she was valuable for him. From then pass two months and he was happy. They both were happy now. They were proffesionals on the board and no one didn't suspicious on them. Like she said once, they were good actors.
"Sorry for lating. Blame 2Dads. He came late on his watch" said Bomber and interupted him in his thoughts. She snugled in his arms.
"I think you won't came. But it is much more safier from both of us when he is on the watch." he said and kissed her, while he was caressing her backs.
"You almost get killed today! I was so scared that something could happen to you!" she said when she tilted her head up and look into him.
"Nothing is not going to happen to me!" he answered and take her face in his hands.
"I don't want to lose you!"
"You never will." he answered and pull her closer to him and hugged her. She put her head at his chests.
"I want to tell you something..." she started but she was cutted off with his voice.
"I love you Bec." said Buffer knowing that he was feeling it.
"I love you too Pete" she said with smile and he kissed her.
"What did you wanted to tell me?" said Buffer remembering that she wanted to said something before he cutted her off.
"That what you allready told me!" she said and they kissed again.
