I startle awake that not unusual for me. I always have a nightmare that nothing new but today I'm not awake because of my nightmare. I'm awake because of the whimper, the whimper from Chloe. Her body was shaking, I know that she is crying.

"Miss Beale… Chloe" I shake her shoulder gently. I continue to wake her up for a minute. Finally, I see her baby blue eyes open. My heart skipped a beat, damn it Mitchell. Not the time.

"Hey, Are you okay? You were shaking. " She sniffed. I restrain myself to not engulf her with a hug and let all her pain go away.

"N..nightmare" She said with her trembling voice.

"It's gonna be okay, Miss Beale. You're awake now." I reassure her.

"Hey, do you want to talk about it? " She shakes her head so I nodded.

Then she broke into a sob. Screw it, I can't stand seeing Chloe hurt. I pulled her close to me and hug her tightly. I murmur to her ear "It's gonna be okay. I got you" I keep saying sweet nothing to her until she becomes to sniff. She pulled out from my arm. I instantly miss her warm. Damn it, Mitchell.

"You think I'm stupid, didn't you?" I sighed.

"No, you didn't. You just trust the wrong person. You have the kindest heart I ever see. And if you choose the wrong person again, don't you worry, I got you" She chuckles at my last comment.

"Thank you, really for everything I don't know what will happen if you aren't here. So thank. "

Be cool Mitchell. Don't you dare smile like a fool, you were a goddam soldier for Christ sake.

"Yeah, it fine. It is my job tho. I murmured back to her. She smiled at me and chuckled slightly.

"Good to know that you have a feeling captain" She pad my bashfulness cheek. That helps me nothing but to blush harder. I'm sure that my cheek is the same color as her hair.

"It's just hot in here" yeah my excuse was lame, I know.

"Whatever makes you sleep at night Cap." Chloe smile. She gets off the bed throw the robe and walk out of the room. I followed her to the kitchen.

"It's hard to sleep now when you woke up like that. "Care to join me to the kitchen?" She waited for me at the door.

"Like I have a choice." I murmured following her.

Chloe grabs pancake powder and starts mixing it in a bowl. This moment takes me back when we were still young.

(High school flashback)

After I'd rescued Chloe from Jimmy guy, Chloe insists on having a girls night on the next day. It's not hard to convince me I miss Chloe so much. I always miss the time that we spend together. Chloe is always cuddled with me while we watch a movie even I hate the movie but with Chloe. She can make me watch movies all day and I won't even complain. She snuggles to me, presses her head under my chin. I wrap my arm around her shoulder and my another hand, massage her scalp the way she loves it so much. We fall to sleep at the couch that night, with my arm surround her like a big spoon and she snuggles to my neck on this comfy couch. I can't help but thinks that our body is so fit together like it meant to be.

I wake up in the morning with the amazing smell of Beale pancake. I always obsess with Chloe pancake. I jump off the couch and run to the kitchen. I jump up and down like a kid on Christmas morning. " Please tell me you are making the Beale pancake, pleaseee" I hear her laugh at my childish moment.

"Of course I did. I know how to get through my best friend a good side. " She pats my belly. "Her stomach and what is better than the Beale pancake" She waved her spatula in front of my face and I huffed at her.

"Ah ah be a good girl or you won't get the pancake. Now sit down Pancake will ready for you in a minute."

I comply, why not it Chloe pancake and it fucking amazing. She pets my hair and whisper "Good girl" to me that makes me shiver. She places the food in front of me. I dig in five pancakes before Chloe even fix her plate.

"You are a beast. How come you eat that much and fast?" She asked me with chuckled.

I talked with my mouth full."Did you not taste this it's so gooddd" I moan while I shove in my seven pancakes. She shakes her head whipped some of my honey from the corner of my mouth.

" Dummy you eat like a kid, a fat kid if I can say." I shrugged at her comment

"Say whatever you like, Chlo. I can't even stop eating this" We laugh all morning and it's the way I like just me and Chloe on the slow perfect day. Just us.

(End of flashback)

"Are you gonna make a pancake?" I asked with more excited than my usual self. Chloe turns to face me she raised her eyebrow with amusing in her eyes.

"You like pancakes?" I nodded vigorously.

"Like is an underestimate I love Pancake soooo much. It's just a few things that I miss when I'm on the base." I said with enthusiasm.

Chloe looks at me with the mixture of sad and curious. But she didn't say anything she continues to make the pancake and asked me to help her grab a few things

Then she put a good stack of pancakes in front of me and her "dig in capt." She doesn't have to tell me twice. I shove it down quickly. Then I heard Chloe giggle

"What?"I asked her with my mouth full.

"No, you just.." She seems to think it hard.

"You reminded me of someone," She said and look at me suspiciously. I swallow hard at that, is she knows?

"What? I'm sure whoever taste this amazing pancake will have the same reaction." I said with my so natural voice. At least I think so. Chloe seems to buy it. She smiles at me

"I'm glad you like it" I grinned like a fool.

Two days later

It's all went down since Chloe news go spread all of the social media. Everyone wants to know the truth if Chloe nearly get raped or she makes up a story to flamed Tom. Seriously, I want to punch whoever thought that about Chole, what the hell Chloe is totally a saint.

Chloe can't even go out to the gate door where all the pap camp in front of her mansion.

"Capt I'm bored" She rolled over the bed while I'm sitting on the love chair beside her.

"What do you want to do then?" I asked her without actually looking at her.

"I want to go out" She sits up straight and cross her arm.

"You realize that in front of your house have a dozen of pap camp in front right? "I raised my eyebrow

"I don't care. It's your job to protect me." I sighed at that. Well, she is right.

''Where do you want to go?" I asked with defeat.

"I want to go walk at the park and then grab some I don't know.. Taco Bell." I saw her eyes shine and she smirked when my eyes lit up at the word taco bell. Damn it she knows my weakness. How on the earth I can deny that.

"Very well then" I grab the car keys and call Stacie and vector to meet me at the garage. Chloe jumped up and down with glee. I shake my head at how childish she was. Just two day in the house and she was driving me nut while she goes insane. But I don't want it another way.

We success to ignore those paparazzi who chase after Chloe throw question. Some of them I think those questions can consider an insult. I try to control myself not to strangle them. Just walk fast and lead Chloe to the car.

We at the quiet park. It so beautiful with the lake and all the trees. Chloe sat down on the bench in front of the lake. I stand be hide her and Stacy is guarding at the entrance. Chloe stares at the lake for so long.

"I always love this place. It reminds me when I'm young back at Georgia." Yeah, I remember those view too.

"Why it so hard right now? Someone wants to kill me and my family. My longtime boyfriend was going to rape me. Now I don't have someone to talk so I talk to my bodyguard. How pathetic is that ?" She chuckles with sarcastic.

I hate seeing Chloe like this. I sigh and sit beside her.

"You are not pathetic, Miss Beale" She chuckles. "I know what will you gonna said next. About how amazing I am."

I blush at that. "well it's true. It going to be okay somehow. Bad things come to make us know what good is. Be patient miss Beale."

She smiled at me." You know the right thing to say huh? Does this is a way you charm?"

I just smiled at her. Just for you Chlo, just for you. I answer her in myhead
