#23 Someone I want to Protect
----------……-----
People often think of me as a womanizer. And I guess for the most part it's true. Even after a while I lost track of the number of women I have been with. Hell, there have been days where I've had 3 dates with 3 different women. None of them really meant much to me, they were simply a way I could escape military life.
But for once in my life I found someone that means something more than an easy lay. Someone I want to protect and love. Deep born eyes, golden hair that's always neatly kept up in that clip of hers. A stern tone and intimidating presence, Lieutenant Riza Hawkeye was the one woman I want to love and spend the rest of my life with.
I remember after Hughes's death, how alone I felt. After the funeral she put her arms around me and I told her I wouldn't be able to go on if she ever left me. She was the last thing I had left that kept me human in this world of military dogs, where the people you are supposed to be protecting hate you because of the corrupted government you serve.
I remember her taking me back to her apartment the night after the funeral when she found me stumbling down the sidewalk in front of her apartment drunk. She too me inside and we had coffee, and she assured me she would never leave me, and protect me even if it meant giving up her life. I wonder if I could do the same thing for her. Somehow I doubt I could. After all…I couldn't save Hughes.
