Diana's turn! Hope you all had an amazing Christmas! Estee had her usual Christmas flu. Poor girl. But Maci informed me she was watching nothing but Band of Brothers and Green Street Hooligans and what ever Ross McCall movie she could so I'm sure she was having a good Christmas cuddled up with her dogs, a snuggie, and a cup of hot coco and watching the man of her dreams. Hope you enjoy this new update.

Estee groaned in pain as she took a seat on the desk Roe was working at. Roe looked over at her concerned. She didn't come visit him much unless she was injured. Before Roe had time to ask what was wrong, she lifted her shirt just enough to reveal a nasty rug burn on her side. That was the third rug burn type injury that Roe had bandaged for her. And that was in the last few days.

"what are you doing to receive these?" Roe asked even more concerned.

"Keep getting them on the skills course. Estee replied. "Can't go through it as well with a twisted ankle."

Roe sighed and moved down to her feet. Estee lifted her right foot and Roe looked at her in surprise. Usually he had to guess what was hurting her. But the last few visits she just came out and told him. She also came on her own free will.

"Are you really ok?" Roe asked as he took her boot off. When she didn't answer he looked back up at her to see she still had the same reaction to him. "Estee?"

"hmm?"

"Are you really ok?" Roe asked again. Estee sighed and shook her head. Roe couldn't believe he hadn't seen it before. The reason she came on her own was because she needed to talk.

"How am I supposed to lead these girls when I can't even stay uninjured during a training excursive." Estee said in a weak voice. "I don't think I can do this Eugene."

Roe sighed and sat down on the desk next to her. "If any one can lead them its you. How many times had you proved your leadership in France? You saved those D Company men."

Estee just shrugged. "They don't count. The only reason most of them followed me was because Clay and Jeff were."

Roe rolled his eyes and made her face him. "You are an amazing leader. Don't doubt yourself for a second. There isn't a man or woman in Easy that wouldn't follow you into battle. I would."

Estee smiled at him. "Thank you Eugene."

She gave him a hug and a quick peck on the cheek. She waved goodbye and left him red faced and stunned.

Maci watched Speirs jog past. He hasn't talked to her since he found out about the tattoos. With a huff she crossed her arms and turned her back towards him.

Sami rolled her eyes and looked over at Diana and Estee. She then turned back to Maci when she realized the other two weren't going to talk. "Maci, this has gone on for an entire month. I swear if you two don't make up, or at least talk, we are getting involved."

Maci stuck her tongue out at them. "He's the one being a jerk. Your boys didn't freak out like him."

Estee sighed. "Maci, you have to realize that Lieb and Winters have known known all of us since Toccoa. They knew almost everything about us. Speirs has a lot to learn."

"So." Maci turned her back on Estee for taking Speirs's side.

"She's hopeless!" Estee demanded. "We leave in a week and she's acting..."

"Acting like you with Lieb before the big jump?" Diana said with a knowing smile.

"Hey I thought one of us would be dead after that jump." Estee demanded "This is a little less dangerous. Because first of all there is no jumping out of planes involved for us. And second. Its Speirs for crying out loud. The man took that last gun on his own."

Maci smirked a little then turned back to her friends. "He needs to learn not to piss me off!"

"We'll work on him." Diana said lightly pushing her friend towards the direction Speirs had gone. "Now go make up with your man."

Maci groaned but didn't argue as she left to find Speirs.

Sami smirked to herself. All three of her friends seemed happy with their boyfriends and war romance. When they weren't getting into fights themselves that is. The week before Sami saw Diana stomp out of Winters's room demanding that her orders to keep their mission quite was from General Taylor. And Winters would do better in remembering that she was a soldier first, his girlfriend second. Diana then started to walk away. But before she got too far, Winters caught up to her. He wrapped his arms around her from behind and apologized as he left a trail of kisses down her neck.

Sami almost gagged at the sight. She wasn't much of a romantic type of girl. And the way Diana and Winters acted sometimes was like they forgot others were around.

Estee and Liebgott on the other hand fought about almost everything. They'd have at least five fights a day that ended in Estee stomping off. The last one though Liebgott started by bringing her lunch because she had skipped breakfast. That fight only lasted a few minutes and ended with Liebgott playfully shoving the sandwich into her mouth. That is with a little help from Luz.

Sami sighed heavily and went to find Webster. She didn't have to look to long. He was where he always was on his off time. Sitting on his bed. Usually he was writing in his journal, but this time he was reading a very warn looking book that Sami knew was his favorite.

"You should buddy up to Estee more." Sami said sitting down next to him. "Maybe then you wouldn't have to keep reading that one."

Webster smirked over his book at her. "I like this book."

Sami smirked down at him. He was very attractive. And those dimples drove her nuts. She laid down on the bed so her head was by his feet. "Read to me."

Webster chuckled. "What?"

"Read to me." Sami repeated. "I love the passion in your voice when you read to me."

Webster chuckled again. "You just don't want to read it yourself."

Sami giggled lightly. "Yeah that too."

Maci walked towards Speirs. When he saw her coming he stopped running and waited for her to go to him. He tensed as she approached but didn't turn away from her. He was waiting for the ass chewing he knew he deserved. But instead Maci took one hand in hers and lifted it eye level, then intertwined her fingers with his. She did the same thing with his other hand never taking her eyes off his face. She moved closer to him and lowered his hands till they were wrapped around her waist. She ran her hands up his chest till she rested one on his shoulder then the other one behind his neck. A slight smirk crept across his lips. If Maci hadn't known him she wouldn't have seen the smirk at all. Slowly she pulled him into her. The closer he got the more the smirk grew. Maci paused just before their lips met. Speirs seemed to dare her to walk away as he tightened his grip around her waist and his eyes darkened with lust. He moved the rest of the way into her in a very hungry kiss. With a giggle Maci stopped the kiss and stepped away from him.

"To bad you don't like tattoo's Ronald." Maci said with a smirk. "Cause you can't have me with out it."

Maci started to walk away when Speirs pulled her back into him with another passionate kiss and the longer their lips locked the steamier the kiss got. Speirs sweetened the kiss at the very end and smiled down at her. "I believe tattoos have just become my favorite thing of all time."

Maci smiled and quickly walked away "Good boy." she called over her shoulder.
