What if…
Chappter 1: Strenuous mission…
-Commander, are we lost? - some body asked
-No! we are not! - the blond commander answered-keep going, and we'll get out of this forest soon!
-But it's getting dark! - another voice
-Yes, that why you should shut your mouth up and go faster!-the commander said with a cold voice like she always did, but she was nervous herself…
She was in her office when received an order that the French guard have to chase some mod…France was in trouble, mod were everywhere… so she called her men and they started on their mission. They didn't catch the mod, not because they couldn't, it because they didn't want to catch them…they were mod, but they were civilians too, poor hungry indigent civilians…and now, the French guard were walking in the forest, tried to find a way out…they kept walking like that until the sky was full of stars.
-Oscar… - Andre came near the commander - don't you think we should rest?
-…you're right.. - she sighed, and she stopped the horse, then she said as loud as she can - we need to rest, we've been walking all day long, I command you to camp here!
-Camp? But we don't have tents, or even sleeping bags -Alain said
-We're soilders, that's not a problem! – Oscar said composedly
-But, commander…
-If you want to walk all night in the forest, I won't hinder you! – with those words, she completely stopped all the complaint. And the French guard start up a camp…
…………………………………………………………………………
…They were sitting near the camp-fire and eatting some kind of fired meat (what kind of meat I wonder…), and now, it was time to sleep…all the men found a place to sleep, they just laid down on the ground, and kept talking noisily untill they really tired. But before that, Alain noticed that their commander was still sit there…
-What's wrong commander? – he raised his head and asked – we don't need someone guard when we take a nap!
-I didn't have a plan to guard you either! – Oscar said and stood up
-Oh, you don't need sleepping? Or… - he said and looked around – Oh, I can see…You couldn't find a place to sleep! – then he smile – don't worry! – he slaped on the ground between him and Andre – Andre had save a place for you!
-What???? You… - Andre stared
-Never mind, both of you! – Oscar said – I can sleep wherever I want to! – then she went away when Alain called after her:
-Does that mean you don't want to sleep near Andre?
All the men laughed when Andre gave him a punch.
"Does that mean you don't want to sleep near Andre?".Oscar smile at that trick "I used to sleep with Andre, on a stack of straw, or a grassplot. Or even on his bed, when I came to him in the night, because I heard nanny said evil spirit would come to get the kid, who ate her cake without her assent...But that when I was 9, or 12…and now? I'm not a kid anymore, I don't afair of ghost anymore…That time, I didn't know how beautiful the stars were ,that time, I didn't know how painfull love could be…"
-Oscar…
-Andre? What are you doing here?
-What are YOU doing here? Don't you sleep?
-I'm trying!
-Wow, I didn't know you can sleep when you was standing? – he whistled
-Well, I… - Oscar stammered
-You can never lie to me, Oscar! – he got close to her – it's cold out here – and he put a hand on her shoulder – at least, stay near the fire…
-I'm not a child, Andre. And I want to enjoy the stars!
-You can do that at the camp!
-But I want to do that here! (oh, Oscar, you are as stubborn as a mule)
-Ok! – Andre said when he was sitting down and put his back to the tree – I'll enjoy them with you!
Oscar stared at him "what does he want? Can I be alone for a minute?" she thought
-What's wrong? – Andre asked – You don't want to enjoy them anymore?
-Of course I want!- she said and sat right next to him.
There was silent for a moment, and the wind was rising…
-This's really cold! – Andre said when a strong wind blowed in
-You should go back!
-How about you?
-I love wind – Oscar said, but the true is, she was tremble with cold
-I don't think so! – he embraced her in his arm – don't you remember the night we slept in the meadow? – he looked at her – and after that, you'd been sick for a week!
-Hey, I was 10 there! – she said and remove his arm
-Ok, ok! So you love the wind, unfortunately, the wind doesn't love you! – Andre laughted
"…doesn't love you…" Oscar look away "not only the wind…", she picked up a stone and threw it into the placid lake, the stone glided on the surface, then sunk into the water…
Andre was still looking at her, he knew what was she thinking, everytime she threw a stone, she wanted to threw away her trouble with it…
-So, wanna play a game?
-What game?
-A contest – Andre stood up – to see who can throw farther! – and he picked up a lot of stone – Wanna play? - he gave her a wink - Or you're afraid you may lose? – and he threw a stone, it glided farther than her last threw
-I never lost! – Oscar stood up, and Andre smiled quietly, at least, he could distract her from her thought. She threw a stone, of course it glided farther than his, and she grin at him
-very good – he said – now this's my turn! – he threw, but his stone just sunk immediately – Shit!
-Hahaha, Andre, you're worst than when we were kid!
-Let's try again!
And they kept playing like that, just like they were 10, "just like when I still believed I was a boy" Oscar thought…
…………………………………………………………………………
They sat near the tree again, after their game…
-Ok, Oscar, you want to sleep now?
-Yeah…
-So, let's go back…
-No! I said before, I'll sleep wherever I want to! – she let out a yawn – and here it is…
-Fine! – Andre said
-Fine?
-I'll sleep here too!
-Why?
-I want to sleep with you! – now he yawned
-What???????? – Oscar didn't feel sleeppy anymore
-Is there something wrong? – he looked at her tiredly – we used to sleep together when we were kids…
-No…nothing wrong…- she said and leaned against the tree
-What did you think when I said "sleep"? – He put his hands between his head and the tree
-…good night!
-Hey, that's not an answer! – he didn't turn back, but he could see her face slowly turned red
- I said good night!
-Ok, ok, good night, surly girl!
-…I'm not a girl anymore!
-In that case – he said with slyly voice – good night the surly-not-girl…
-Do you really want to sleep? – now, Oscar was staring at him, Andre can felt her graze on his, but it didn't make his blood ran cold, in fact, he was happy with this…
-ok…good night, Oscar…-he said tenderly
-…good night…
…………………………………………………………………………
-…should we wake them up? – Lasalle asked Alain
-No, no, don't ruin this romance, mates! – Alain wishper, but all the noise they had made (even they tried to be as quiet as possible), just waked Andre up…and he saw all his companions was staring at him…
-What the…- Andre said when he tried to get up, and he knew why they stared at him…a blond beauty was sleeping in his lap, ok, just almost in his lap…she was using his thighs like a pillow…
-Well, well, well… - said Alain – what are you waiting for, prince charming? The sleeping beauty was right there!
After those words, the men laughed and became unorderly
"yes, hurry, wake her up"-"with a kiss"-"a sweet kiss"-"what are you thinking? Must be a passionately kiss!"…
But then, the sleeping beauty waked up without a kiss from prince charming…
-Hmm…- she opened her eyes and the first things that she saw, was the face as red as a tomato of Andre, and the second thing was the faces of all her men...-what are you…-now, the third thing she relize was…well, her situation…
To be continued
