Molly was tired. Bone tired. She had finished her inventory and had boxes stacked up against one side of the medic tent with excess medical supplies that could be packed off now. She was just about finished for the day and was going to hunt out some of the lads to see if anyone was going for food. She could do with crashing with an early night. The stress of the last 24 hours had got to her. Seeing Charles turn up the day after a 14 hour flight had done her in and she was goosed.

She hadn't seen Boss man since they told the lads after lunch and was impatient to see him again but she knew she could not just go and hunt him out. They had both stressed to 2 section nothing would change.

'Hey'. Molly looked up. Talk of the devil. There was the man himself standing just inside her tent arms folded.

'Hey yourself. I didn't hear you come in.' She was a little nervous. She could really do with a cuddle. She wanted to kiss him. She had never been backwards in coming forwards with Charles but it was different here.

'I've just been here a couple of minutes. I was just watching you' he took a couple of steps into the tent so he couldn't be seen by anyone just passing by the medic tent.

'Pervert! Oh shit sorry. Can I..? Am I allowed to..?'

Charles laughed and walked completely into the tent so he was standing next to her hands in his pockets.

'Are you done for the day?' he asked.

'Yes Boss. I'm knackered I'll tell you…' she was stopped with the pressure of his finger over her lips. The classic sign to be quiet.

'Are you done for the day?' he asked again looking straight into her eyes. Molly nodded in reply.

'Thank God for that!' He moved his hands to brush her hair off her face. Wisps of hair had come out of her braid whilst she had been moving boxes around. He smiled as he put his arms on her waist and lifted her to sit on the treatment bed boosting her height a little bit and stood in front of her. He placed his hands on the bed either side of her hips and leaned in. 'Now we're done for the day you can call me a pervert. I feel like a pervert. Everywhere I've been today I have looked to see if you were there.'

'Miss me?' Molly replied laughed impishly and put her hands on his chest.

'Yes I bloody have' he replied obviously aggrieved. He dipped his head down to nuzzle the side of her neck. 'I've bloody missed you. It was easier than this last time'

'Ditto' she said looking up as they smiled at each other. 'I've had a few of the lads round this afternoon pretending they were sick, obviously fishing' Molly laughed.

'What did you tell them?' Charles asked.

'Nothing. Told them to piss off. They know all they are getting to know.'

The boss smiled. 'Mansfield came to see me. Threatened me if I hurt you he would…. '

'He didn't?' Molly laughed out loud in shock. 'I didn't think he had the balls.'

'Her cares about you. They all do. We all do.'

'Yeh well' muttered Molly obviously embarrassed. 'I'm nothing special…..'

'Shut up Dawsey and bloody kiss me'

Molly laughed and did just that. They were in their own little world until the sound of laughter and sniggers got louder and louder from just outside the tent. High pitched voices chanting

'Oh please kiss me Molly…'

'Oh certainly Sir…..'

'Molls and Boss Man, sitting in a tree, G…..'

Charles looked up and laughed at Molly embarrassed at being caught out. He put his forehead to Molly's and whispered 'I'm going to fucking kill them.'

Looking up he shouted loud enough so his voice carried out the tent '2 section?'

Looking up he shouted loud enough so his voice carried out the tent '2 section?'

A voice that was obviously Fingers was brave enough to reply 'We just came to see if Molly wanted to go for food Sir. She's obviously busy. We'll come back later Sir?' he asked tongue in cheek.

'Piss off Fingers. And that's an order!'

'Yes Sir. Have a goodnight Sir'

The section left in great hilarity.

'This is going to be a bloody long 3 months Dawsey' Charles muttered under his breathe.
