Just a little longer
And once again the distance between them amounts to nothing…
It takes all of her willpower to push back the blush threatening to spread across her cheeks. Then again, it is because of her 'you are mine kiss' that things are strange between them…
Well, it is strange for her, every time she's near him the memory of the kiss comes rushing back, the warmth of his lips…the taste of him…
Even now, her eyes linger on his lips…
However, it is neither the time nor the place for such things…
Not when they are both surrounded by the whole team inside a Chinook helicopter…
Still, she is afraid…
She is afraid of being rejected, that he doesn't feel the same way about her, maybe there was someone else. She knew of Jill Valentine of course, the long time partner of her captain, they were working together in Raccoon City back when she was still a little girl.
They were close friends, comrades in arms…and according to the BSAA records, a hell of a team.
But, after the Kijuju incident something changed between them and as the result they both went on their separate ways…
"I know we need to talk" the voice of her captain reaches her, barely above a whisper "But we have a job to do…" his face betrayed no emotion; he was, as always, 100% focused on the mission.
Sherry nods slowly, smiling cheerfully "I know, the world needs us…" she says softly, keeping her voice low and once again a blush threatens to spread across her cheeks "This…us…I can wait" and the battle is lost, her cheeks take a pretty pink color. She is for once grateful that her captain is not looking at her…
But, lady luck is not with her in that moment, Chris turns to face her taking in her beautiful blushing face "Just to let you know, it's been a long time since a woman has been so…forward with her advances" and the playful smirk on his lips its all she needs to blush a even deeper shade of red.
"S-Sorry…?"
And before she has the chance of saying another word his gloved hand reaches her cheek, and suddenly she feels very warm and is very aware of the warmth of his hand through his glove, to any onlooker it would look like he was trying to correctly place her earpiece/flashlight…
But the truth was much more personal…
There was no hesitation in his touch, his thumb moving slowly, almost lovingly on her skin…
It was an intimate touch, like a lover's…
And for a moment she allows herself to enjoy it, every second of it...
"I promise…" he says softly "Once this mission is over we will talk about this…"
Sherry nods closing her eyes, a happy sigh escaping her…
She really wanted this…
This feeling…
It was wonderful…
More than just simple attraction, the feel of true love…
"Ok…" she whispers "I'll wait just a little longer…"
That's it, this is the end of "Fighter and Leader", however I will continue the story in another fic, but first I will be writing about Claire…after all, don't you wanna know how she's doing in edonia?
Thanks to all those who took the time to read and review my fic, reviews are what keep the writers going.
Thanks again and see you soon…
