Wicked (MaskedMexican)

Chapter 19 - Detained

~Ohm's POV~

"What the hell are you doing completely ignoring me? I mean we're going to get married! Don't you know how scary it is to marry someone you don't even know?!" I swear this is why I've never been too into girls, I feel as if my ear is just crying from the screeching of this girl and I feel like I'm being punished by the divines for whatever. There's honestly quite a few things that could be on the list of sins I've done. One maybe having a fiancée and boyfriend all at once, if that is a sin, it is right? If it isn't I don't understand why it wouldn't be, I feel like a complete asshole for it and it's really just completely ruined my entire mood. I sigh into the phone and glance around, the mess hall is still a mess even when I started folding up the blankets that are all stacked in a pile now. The other sergeants and Gassy should be asleep right now, not that I mind since I'm the one who told them not to worry about it so I could just do all of the work. How is Veronica even awake right now? It's probably even later where she's at.

"Are you even listening to me right now?! My mom warned me of the Bella family but dad just..." Veronica trails off and I just stare at empty space before taking a deep breath and look down back at the blanket in my hands. I'm just too tired to deal with this. I can't even deal with my man how can I deal with a girl?

"I am, I am. I'm sorry, okay? Just don't forget that I am a part of a base and I'm even doing work while I'm talking to you, give me a break okay?" I insist and the other side of the phone becomes silent, probably feeling a bit guilty for putting me through this. I hardly know the girl but I don't know enough to treat her rudely just because she happens to be the only thing tearing Gassy and me apart, it really isn't her fault in the end. Plus, I don't have to act like an ass to her like I've planned to act to Gassy. It'll be better if he fell out of love with me anyways, it'll all be easier that way. Maybe I should arrange it somehow in my last month here that he finds out I have another fiancée or something and convince him I'm cheating. As much as I hate the plan and as much as it will destroy me, I can recover.

"Do you know how scary it is to know I'm going to marry a man I hardly know?" Veronica whimpers into the phone and I sigh again, tossing the last blanket down and now holding the phone with a serious expression.

"Do you know how terrifying it is to marry a girl I hardly know while I'm in love with a man on base but I'm being forced to leave the base in a year time?" Veronica becomes silent and soon enough I hear whimpering from the other side and I widen my eyes, my heart thumping out of control at the realization I made a girl cry. "Holy shit please don't cry I didn't mean to. It's just - I -... Please just don't cry, I can't stand when girls cry," I stumble through my words and surprisingly she giggles from the other side and I feel a thousand times relieved she isn't really crying.

"No, it's not you. I love a man too, it's a bit relieving we both feel the same," she explains and at the same time I also feel so relieved, as if a huge weight was just lifted off my chest. So we're the same, huh...? Suddenly the door to the mess hall opens and I turn back to see the figure and surprised at who it is I turn back around at the work I've done. Well I am done, I have time.

"Sorry Veronica, I need to go. I'll call you tomorrow, it's a promise this time," I announce and she giggles just as I hang up and pocket my phone before turning to meet eyes with the man who raises an eyebrow to me.

"Did I just witness a lovers call? Are you cheating Ohm?" Nanners asks as if he's caught onto something but I just roll my eyes and shake my head.

"I can't have friends who are girls? What's up Nanners?" I ask and he almost seems disappointed it wasn't a lovers call and I wasn't cheating. Of course he's disappointed, he has a thing for Chilled who just loves dramatic things like this. Although I had been just planning a moment ago being discovered cheating I didn't mean so soon, I mean if it's now I'm sure Gassy will be very hurt and I don't want to see that. Nanners raises an eyebrow to me and seems to circle me as he observed exactly what I've done here in the mess hall, cleaning everything up after the sergeants. Somehow I feel as if he's going to just accuse me of being the traitor right here and now, it'd probably be a relief to him to believe I'm the traitor rather than his Chilled, even if he is wrong.
