Tessy’s pov cont
I got into the shower ? and had a cold bath then I got ready to go meet Ashley
I have no idea of what to say and where to start from
I hate being accused falsely… Who wouldn’t..
I arrived at her house which is now her and her boyfriend’s house
Her boyfriend, Mark welcomed me
I was yet to get into the house when I stopped on my track
“Did Ashley tell you anything about… Our fight? “I asked nervously
“Yea, she was mad yesterday… But no worries, she’ll listen to you. “He said
I nodded
I percieved the scent of steaming stew… She’s cooking
I met her in the kitchen
“… Ashley “I muttered
“Why and what are you doing here? “She asked immediately
“Am sor..
“That’s the thing with you Tessy, you think sorry fixes everything… Well, sorry to break ur heart but it doesn’t ”
I sighed
“Okay but pls forgive me Ash ”
“Why should I when you don’t trust me… “She spat angrily
Time to pull her legs
“Ashley, you are fuming… “I started
“What? ”
“You’re really fuming, there’s smoke coming out from ur ears “I said pointing
She believed it for a sec and tou-ched her ears
Then she shook her head
“Stop pla-ying with me girl “she said
“Its no longer smoke, its fire workers and crackers… ?? “I said
“Ooou, its now a volcano ? Ashley “I said she chuckled
“Shut up phsyco “she said inbetween laugh
“Now the fire is out… Am gonna spend some time with you guys.. “i said
“Come again.. “?she said giving me her ears
“You heard me right ” I said heading to the fridge
“But mark and I are… “She paused
“Tell me, am married “I said peeping at her from the door of the fridge
She chuckled
“You know exactly what I was about to say.. Well, its our four months anniversary… And u know what happens during this times ” she said giving me one kind of look
“You and ur excuses… Well, if you don’t let me stay here with u guys… My baby is gonna beat you when its born “, I said
“Fine.. But don’t worry when you here sounds at night… Just know its me and mark doing what we do best together “she said
I made a face
“Eww… Don’t spoil me “I said closing my ears
Ashley gra-bbe-d a cooking spoon and began chasing me round the kitchen
“Look who’s talking… “She says
•••••••••AT NIGHT ••••••••••
I la-id on my be-d as the sound of rain falling outside echoed in the room
Perfect weather for Ashley and mark to make out ?
Lucky her.. Just that mark should make advances on marrying her though its just been four months since they began dating ?…
Huh.. I exhaled loudly, the silence is really awkward..
When Ashley was still living alone, we would watch movies, dance ?around , eat junk food ?????, gist all night before slee-ping off
But now… Everything’s changed and Ashley’s now occu-pied
My eyes was wi-de open.. I couldn’t sleep
Am missing Angelo’s prese-nce
The be-d suddenly felt so empty and cold..
I miss you Angelo
??Angelo’s pov ??
We got to our tent and seeing everywhere intense, nob©dyhad to tell us to get ready for combat
We got dressed in our war suit {military uniform but more coated}. We wore our belts of grenade ? and sniper rifle
We went to the field far away towards the village that was been attacked and destroyed by the bombings of the rebels
We retaliated by taking them by for-ce.. We shot them like they weren’t human
“One line, one row! “Our commander yelled
We obeyed
•••••••••••••••••
The battle continued…
We made advance into the forest chasing them
About six men was already down from our side, but many were hurt and dead from their side
Suddenly a hu-ge bomb exploded throwing us back
“Retreat! “Our commander, miles yelled
We obeyed as we rushed back to our tents
•••••••••••••••••
“We nee-d to hit them ha-rd and wipe them off from this side “General Perkins said pointing down at his chart ? board as we all listened
“If we lessing their number, they’ll flee “Miles added and we nodded
“This is a planned attack… They are planning something big… “General Perkins said
His eyes drifted to me
“Lieutenant Angelo, you’ll be second in command and will follow Miles behind ” General Perkins said to me and I nodded
“Dismissed.. Go get prepared for tomorrow
•••••••••••••••••
After cleaning up, I la-id on my be-d and the first thing that came to my mind was Tessy, am really missing her
I dialed her number
“Hey Tess ”
“… An.. Angelo.. Hi.. How are you? “She asked with a real sleepy tone
“Am okay.. We’ll talk tomorrow babe, goodnight “I said dismissing her
She didn’t reply
Aww, she’s really sleepy ?
I sle-pt off too..
••••••••Next day at the battlefield ••••••••
We continued with the fight
The rebels wore camouflage so it was difficult to sp-ot them
Miles began running further and I accompanied him since I was instructed to
He was taking hid at every step ? and I followed
Soon he got out again.. Pow! He got shot
I rushed to him, he was gro-an ing softly
“Go Angelo, you’ll be shot! “He said taking a slow breathing
“No…
“That’s an order soldier! “He yelled
“Am a stubborn soldier “I said and lifted him across my shoulder and believe me, it wasn’t easy… I began running into the forest for safety
If I went back, I’d be shot and if I proceed, I might fall into their palms ✋
So I stopped dropping Miles down
I brou-ght out my tiny materials… A tissue, light clothe, a small bottle of methylated spirit, plaster and band aid
“Hold still “I told miles as I opened his shirt at his arm side where he was shot
He was bleeding badly already
As I reached for the tissue, I felt a prese-nce
I looked up to see three men-the rebels
They pointed their guns at me
“You don’t fear death? “One of them asked me speaking Mexican
I knew many languages
I shook my head
We were surrounded
Soon, he co-cked his gun
‘sma-ck!! One of them was hit on the head, I turned to see a girl with rou-ghlong hair dressed in the same uniform with the rebels
“I told you fools to bring All captives to me!!! “She yelled in the same Mexican language
Her dark eyes landed to me
She suddenly became speechless.. Her mouth was shaking a bit
She finally cleared her throat
“Bring them “she said and walked away

{Captured ?}
Tessy’s pov
I sat there on the kitchen stool with a big frown on my face
Ashley stared at me intensely
“Calm down Tessy, its not good for ur baby “she said
“There’s no baby here, just a tiny thing “I retorted
Then I frowned again
“He’ll call you soon “she said
“I can’t believe I was just to sleepy to hear him out and now.. He ain’t picking his calls “I said really sad and Angry with myself
Ashley sighed
“He must be busy… Stop eating urself up baby, he’ll call soon, maybe before you go to be-d ”
I nodded slowly
“Now, please have ur breakfast so our baby can finally eat “she urged
I began eating slowly
…. Angelo, pls call me…
Angelo’s pov
We were taking to their tent which was empty
“Take the wounded to the eastern tent “The girl said still speaking Mexican
I watched them take miles away… I was guarded so I couldn’t do anything
The girl turned towards us
“Go back to fight… I’ll handle this one “she said to the two guys that stood behind me
They nodded and left
She tilted her head towards a tent signalling me to follow her
I followed her into the tent, she sat me down
“Hi.. “She said sitting before me as she ru-bbe-d the tip of her gl@$$ ? cu-p filled with wine
There was total silence
“My friend nee-ds medication “I said in English
She smiled
“I know… Am not blind “she said rolling her eyes
“You and ur folks know better than to start a war with us, we just finished wiping off the heathenlands.. Or don’t you watch the news? “I asked
She chuckled
“Noo.. We want no trouble.. We just sketched this land as our introduction of real wars men. Once we are done training and perfecting in our killing skills, we leave “she said
She speaks English so fluently much more than mexico
She stood up and approached me
She slowly tou-ched my cheek
“What are you thinking….? “She asked slowly
Suddenly we heard a loud blast from afar, definitely from the battlefield
She quickly handcuffed me to table
“We have an unfinished business and bear in mind that if you leave, commander Miles sonches dies “she said, gra-bbe-d her gun and rushed out
She knows Miles?
•••••••••••••BACK at the battlefield ••••••
The crossfire has been going on for two hours and both side is as strong as before
Nob©dywanna give up yet
One of the soldiers Vic meets his colleague Dave at a hide out
“Haven’t seen miles and Angelo “Vic said almost running out if breath
“Yea, noticed it too And Angelo is one of our best shooters… “Dave said huskily
“They are safe, Angelo won’t die so easily ” Dave said so @$$ured
They continued returning bullets to the enemies
••••••••••••••••••
Night time ?
Angelo’s pov
its been quite a long time and am worried for Miles, he have to stay strong till this bi-tch is back and releases me
Finally, a man walked in
“Commander awaits, come with me “he said rou-ghly un cuffing me
When we stepped outside, I saw camp fires at different junctions
The rebels were back, meaning that today’s fight was over
General Perkins must be looking for Miles and I!!!!
And I hope he doesn’t conclude we are lost or killed yet…
The man pointed at the tent, I walked in
The room was empty
I looked around, then my eyes caught the girl… na-ked!
She smiled dryly as she approached me
I was getting irritated… What now?
She li-cked her l-ips and bit them, does she think am becoming enticed?
Well, she’s mistaking
Tessy has captured my se-nse of lust so I can only lust after her..
She tou-ched my shoulder and then her eyes darted to my fin-ger
Oh shit! I left my wedding ring ? at my tent cause I didn’t want them to get lost or anything
Now, how will she believe am married
“Let’s work something out Lieutenant Angelo Daine.. “She said slowly walking round me
“Miles lives, but now its your turn to say if he dies or lives… “She said
I know where this is heading too…
“If you want him to be saved right now, you just have to… ”
“Am married “I said cutting her off
She smiled
“I know, you’re married to Tessy hu-ghes, a consultant and writer of some books… ” she said
Urgh… She knows so much
“Forget it commander “I said
I can’t tell my wife not to cheat and still cheat on her
I felt her hands tou-chthere
I shuddered cause I was surprised
I held her hands
“Stop this “I told her
“I promise I’ll help you in some way I can but not s-x, just free miles so we can go “I said
“I don’t give up Angelo, just one round “she said running her hands around my che-st
