It's been 2 weeks sense Night has been shot, I've learned that she complains majorly when she cant go for a run.
"How long has it been 2 months sense I was shot?." Night says sarcastically
"2 weeks." I correct her.
"I still think I'm fine." She grumbles as she gets herself onto the medical bed and pulls off her cropped tank top, making sure to not hurt her shoulder.
MacTavish has insisted we do a 3 day check up sense she got shot... and my face still turns red every single bloody time.
I come over and begin to take the gauze off.
"Wait..." Night says
I look at her for a moment.
"Are you...Blushing?." Night grins and tries to smother her laugh, She knows exactly why too.
"Shut up." I mutter as I resume my work.
I dampen a cloth with water then clean the wound,
She flinch's and says "Oi! watch were cleaning."
I must of pressed into the wound with the cloth by accident.
"I'm sure that wont be as bad as whats about to come." I say go to a cabinet
"Oh god no." Night says as her eyes widen
I pull out Peroxide and Rubbing Alcohol,
"Your choice." I say as I shake both bottles
Night says "But they both hurt!."
"Jesus you sound like a child." I say with a laugh
"They do!." Night says indifferently
"Stop stalling and pick." I reply
Night sighs "I suppose persuasion wont work either?."
My face turns a scarlet red, Dammit! she deliberately said that knowing how red my face would get,
Night gives a cute laugh of satisfaction then says "Peroxide."
"About damn time." I grumble as I approach the bed,
"Lay down." I order
Night raises her eyebrows and says "Wow, you are such a pervert."
I sigh, "Why cant you just go easy on me?."
"Because its just too funny to see your reaction." Night replies as she lays down.
I don't understand why she says those things, Like how she acted like we were secretly going out, or doing stuff like she just did, Like she gets a charge out of seeing my embarrassment.
Night flinch's when I carefully put the peroxide on her wound.
"I hope it hurts." I mutter under my breath
Night catch's this then gives a faint laugh "After everything we've been through together."
"Hmm 2 weeks isn't much." I note
"But still something." She replies
After letting it sit for a few more minutes I take a dry cloth and put it on the wound, I gently dab up the peroxide.
"So..." Night says as I allow her to sit up.
I begin to dig through a basket of supply's
"What?." I ask
"You know I was thinking, and I realized you know a shit load about me, But I know Nothing about you." Night says causally
Oh great, I see were this is going.
"So?." I ask avoiding eye contact
"Face it Halloween boy we both know what I'm talking about, Tell me about yourself." Night says with a shrug from her right shoulder.
"What is there to know? I've been here, in the military sense I was about 18." I reply flatly,
Night gives me a dull look in return.
{LOCATING: Simon 'Ghost' Riley}
{FAILURE...}
{WARNING! SYSTEM SHUT DOWN}
{LOCATING: Alex 'Night' Stone}
{Success" Alex's POV}
I can tell he isn't gonna give information easily, I take a deep sigh then say
"Ok, whats your favourite colour."
Ghost looks at me in disbelief "Seriously?."
"What? your quite protective of yourself, so what's your favourite colour?." I innocently
"Black." He replies flatly
"Oh wow your so colourful." I say sarcastically
"And what about you?." Ghost asks
"Hmm." I take a deep thought, i could easily say the rainbow.
"Blue, then green, red and so on." I say with a slight smile.
"Alright my turn, Why'd you join the military?." Ghost says as he comes over with more gauze
I take a deep sigh, we are just asking simple questions, but it isn't that simple to me.
"Well, like i said before i never got along with my family, 3 days after i was 18 i had a huge fight with my parents." I trail off for a moment then continue.
"I ran off, Pissed and determined to live on my own, I joined the military." I finish.
"And you haven't talked to them sense?." Ghost asks
"4 years in counting." I say, i give a smile and say "I'm done explaining its your turn, Hmm why do you get so embarrassed when we do my check in." I ask teasingly
Ghost looked at me for a moment then looks back at the wound, now finishing the bandage.
"I'll pass." He says shortly
I laugh and say "Oh come on."
Ghost frowns as he skittishly answers "Its just your a girl, i'm a guy... you know."
I look at the ground and laugh with amusement from his skittish reply,
"Your are so weird." I say with a smile as i grab my tank top.
"A good thing right?." Ghost asks
"I'd say yes." I reply still smiling, i put on my tank top on making sure i didn't hurt my left shoulder.
"Ok, when did you have your first kiss." Ghost gives me a genuine Your turn to be embarrassed look.
I look at for a moment with a red face.
"You see, i never actually kissed a guy before." I say sheepishly
Ghost raises his eyebrows and says "Oh yeah sure ill believe that."
"I haven't, why would you want to know who i shared my first kiss with?..."
Just after that I say with a slight laugh "Oooh."
"Wait what!?." Ghost says quickly catching on to my meaning.
"You could of just asked." I say with a smile knowing what reaction i would get.
"What!? No i didn't mean it like that!." Ghost say quickly
"Oh sure you didn't." I say causally as i cross my legs.
"I didn't." Ghost retorts, he still looks a little embarrassed though, which causes me to laugh more.
"It's ok, A lot of guys have told me they wanted to be the 'Special' one." I reply.
"But you've never been in a relationship before?." Ghost asks
"It's a bit more complicated then that, Besides i am actually in a relationship at the moment." I say with a smile.
"I'm a little scared to ask with who."
My smile becomes brighter, i should just leave like this but i'm too weird to do that.
"Well i thought it was clearly with You."
"I don't even see how that's possible." Ghost says smoothly, He took it quite well.
"Well maybe not physically, but Mentally we are in a relationship." I insist.
"Fine then Love, ask your question so i can do mine." Ghost say sarcastically.
I give a victorious smile from him calling me 'Love', the same term i used on him when i acted like we were going out.
Thinking of a question isn't easy, most are about his past, and why he wears the balaclava. but i have a feeling he wouldn't answer.
"Do you have any sibilings?." I ask
I can see Ghost slightly frown as if a memory was brought back to him "Just a younger brother." I give a nod
"Whats up with the clothing?." Ghost asks as he points to my tank top
I laugh and say "I really don't know, i guess I've always been the provocative type."
"It suites you." Ghosts face suddenly turns red as if he didn't mean to say it aloud,
I give another laugh and say "And we aren't in a relationship?."
"We aren't but you clearly seem to want to be Love." Ghost says
"I'm not saying i want to be, i just think it looks that way from how you act." I say with a smug look.
"Ok, Tell me how much do you like me." Ghost says
I suddenly pull my legs onto the medical bed and lay down and put my right hand on my forehead and say "Oh my god i thought you'd never ask!."
Ghost gives me a smirk and waits.
"Well, From day one you've been super annoying, but then again your face turns really red when you see me in a bra, judging from how you ask me how my arse feels every single mission, i'd say out of 1 to 10 scale id have to give you a 3." I say as i hide my smile.
"Oh bullshit! you love me and you know it." Ghost says with a tone of pride as he heads for the door.
I smile and say "I wont admit un tell you do Love."
"But I don't bloody love you." Ghost retorts as he walks out of the room.
Feeling quite satisfied, i get off the medical bed and head for the door as well.
It may be awhile before Ghost will admit he likes me, but i know he will, even if it takes 6 months, ill wait.
...
"How's the shoulder feeling lassie?." I hear MacTavish say
"Other then the fact it hurts every time I move it, Wonderful." I say flatly
"Jesus, you seriously don't understand how much you sound like Price." MacTavish mutters, I give a delighted laugh in return.
"So how are you and Ghosty doing?." Meat asks
I raise my eyebrows and say "Well, other then him being a in denial bitch, Splendid."
"In denial about..." Roach presses
"I'd rather not say." I reply
"So it's what we think its about." Toad says with a hint of fan girl.
"Umm, What I think and You think are majorly different." I say flatly.
"I beg to differ, we all know Ghost loves you." Roach replies
"That's what I told him this morning!." I blurt out,
I got there full attention now, My face turns slightly red.
"So he does love you!." Meat cries out.
"I'd prefer it if we just kept it to 'Like' why do you think I said he was in denial?." I say with a slight scoff.
"Fine fine, he 'likes' you, But the question is, Do you like him?." Roach continues to press.
"No, not really, like I said before I would never fall on my face for Halloween boy."
"And i'm the in denial one?." Ghost chimes in as he enters the room
"Oh my god!, seriously you know when to make the worst entrances!." I bark.
"And suddenly, Things got serious." Meat says in a commentary voice.
"I do it just for you Love." Ghost replies as he sits down.
"Love?." MacTavish echo's
"It's his new sarcastic nickname for me." I explain.
"I had to shut her up, and apparently calling her Love achieved this." Ghost says with a mellow tone.
"Shut me up? Please I just dusted off your emotion button." I say a half smirk half smile.
"The only emotion I feel at the moment is One: Confused, Two: Pissed." Ghost counters
"What? your pissed that I actually figured out you have a heart like any other guy?." I say.
"Oh my god guys, she figured out I have a heart, give her a cookie. I mean I could easily live without one." Ghost replies.
I ignore his statement and continue "I bet your one of those guys who drowns girls in romance." I then add "Probably a good cuddle partner too."
"Cause only you Alex Stone, would be curious to see if I were a good cuddle partner." Ghost says flatly.
I smile and say "Please, i'm sure plenty of other girls have been curious as well."
I'm far to good at this little game me and Ghost are playing.
Ghost gives a nonchalant look in exchange then replies "Aye, and they were a quite the bit more beautiful then you."
"But you still called me beautiful, they were just plastered in more makeup then me, that's all." I say giving him smug look.
"Nice comeback." Roach says
"Thank you." I give a sincere smile.
"If I actually called you beautiful, i'd be chasing you, not you chasing me." Ghost evades my comeback.
"Chase is such a... Drastic term, I prefer 'Running you over with a bus of emotions'."
"What!? that doesn't even make any sense." Ghost says baffled.
"Well it does when you think about it, I mean think, If you didn't care about me, we wouldn't even be having this conversation, But according to some people around here before I came to the Task Force, you were very unsociable, grouchy, So in a sense, I am running you over with a bus of emotions cause now you are actually social and less grouchy." I state, But I quickly add "Scratch the last part your even more grumpy."
"Oh for gods sakes, can I blow up your damn bus with a RPG then?." Ghost says flatly.
I sigh and look at the table "Well at least you've stopped being in denial."
Hey Wassup People!? I AM SO SORRY! I just want to apologize for not updating so quick, I was so stumped on this chapter, I had a hard time writing for some reason, I don't know, but here it is! quite short but whatever. I left you guys on another cliff hanger Hehehe, so in this chapter Alex is being her normal weird self and now trying to pry information on Ghost, I honestly don't know why Ghost would even consider using Rubbing Alcohol on Alex's wound if you know what I mean ;) I decided to go just a bit further into there relationship in this chapter, but might back off some in the next, I'm not sure yet, And I would like to say I know that "Favorite and Color" are spelt this way but for British it is "Favourite and Colour" :) just saying.
Oh oh oh, and before I forget, I think i'm gonna aim for at least 12 chapters for this story, or perhaps (MAYBE) 15 if i'm feeling inspired :D anyways tell me what ya guys think, I seriously need some sleep tonight so im out,
FREE BROWNIES!
(P.S. as always thank you for the lovely reviews, and sorry for grammer mistakes)
Sincerely Red Dawn Shadow.
