Can't stop writing!

Ch 15

Cat and Tavington rode down to the fields where James was currently training the new recruits.

" Captain!" Tavington called out to James as they drew near.

" Good Day sir, Cathe- Miss Okano," He correcting himself.

" Good Day Captain." She smiled.

" I was not aware that you had decided to join the Dragoons." He said with an amused look.

" This is my punishment for last night's, 'Activities'." She said.

" I see." He said.

" She is going to be my secretary and will help me to record all information of our raids and duties, It seems to be going well, Miss Okano, please proceed," Tavington said.

James looked surprised as she took out her logbook and began to record the information on her lap as best she could.

" That's not what I meant, Carry on I must speak to Captain Wilkins." Tavington sighed.

" Oh. He, he, I knew that." She gave a weak smile before placing the book hastily in her bag again.

James shook his head.

" I did not think you to be the sort to sit down and write." He said.

" Well, I don't exactly have a choice, you shouldn't let him treat you like that James, you have opinions too." She said.

" Catherine, it's not a matter of whether I want to, it's my duty as a soldier to obey my orders and not to commit insubordination." He replied looking back at the dragoons.

" You're a human being, you should have rights." She said.

" You're starting to sound like those Colonials again." He said.

" Maybe there is something we could all learn from this war besides, power and fighting." She said.

" Would you like to talk more on this, later?" He asked.

" I should like that very much James," She smiled.

" How does tomorrow evening sound?" He asked.

" I'll be there." She said.

"Come to the third room on the second floor." He said.

She nodded when Tavington called her over.

" Miss Okano, I would like to introduce you to Captain Wilkins he will be giving you the status on the dragoons.' He said.

" Where are you going?" She asked confused.

" To my new office." He said with a smirk.

" Ahem, I think it's my new office too," She stated.

" Oh really, I'm in charge right now ergo, I say you stay out here until I send for you." He said. He started to ride off back to the fort.

" No you don't," She muttered putting Andromeda into a canter and then into a gallop.

She caught up with him and stopped him.

" I heard what Cornwallis said! That office is half mine!" She snapped.

" Oh no not again." Bordon groaned.

He hurried up to them before someone caused another fight, and got hurt or worse killed.

" Wait! Sir!" He cried riding up to them.

Tavington and Cat both turned to look at him.

" May I speak to Miss Okano?" He asked.

Tavington nodded and as soon as she had he back turned rode off.

" Hey!" Cat yelled.

" Forget about him Catherine." James said gently.

He always said her name with such elegance and respect it sounded wonderful from his lips. In fact that was all Cat could see right now she force herself to look into his deep brown eyes before she said anything.

" Look, don't get on his bad side right now, if you wanted to I could have you work for instead." He offered.

" I can't really I would love to but, Cornwallis said I had to work with him," She frowned.

" Alright then, just get along I would hate to see him take his anger out on you, he's not one to keep his temper." James said.

They were still very close to each other; she could swear she felt his heart beat under his uniform.

" I guess I'll see you later." She said.

" Good Bye." She said reluctantly.

" Good bye for now." He said.

He leaned in quickly and kissed her cheek.

' Damn it you've done it now James!' he thought.

But much to his surprise Cat kissed him gently then turned Andromeda towards the fort and rode off.

Ooh Ahh! what's going to happen next if you review I'll tell you!
