FEMME FATALE

Chapter 4: What happens in camp stays in camp.

This was the third time Bellatrix was screaming at the top of her lungs due to insubordination, her team were making training turn into something she hated, she imagined captain training them, his iron fist and dominating aura that made men shit their pants. She sighed, she knew they would give up their nuisance in no time once they realize her capabilities.

“When I say jump Private, you ask me how high not why, do I make myself clear!” Bellatrix voice echoed on the field

“Yes Ma’am”. The six soldiers in training responded.

It was still difficult for men to respect women in military, every time, Bellatrix had to prove to them that she was worth being here and now to even privates and corporals in training, but she knew never to hesitate to bring them from their high by putting them in place.

Her superior had told her the other day to demonstrate during training so as to disarm them and also show she worked hard to get to that position and not through leniency.

“Give me 50” she bellowed out again and before they dropped for the press up routine she was all the way down.

“And count in unison”. She continued. Once she hit 50, her trainees were still counting 15 and that made her mad.

“Did you come here to joke gentlemen?” She stopped them

“No Ma’am”. They responded and began again, then she had an idea.

“Which kind soup your mama cook oh…” Bellatrix sang and they responded.

“Ogbono soup oh…”

“I say which kind soup your mama cook oh?”

“Ogbono soup oh”

“Pepper no dey…”

And that was how they finished their whole routine singing some popular military songs.

Bellatrix was exhausted as she commanded and joined in the training just to prove herself, she hoped for a day where she could train privates without trying to gain their approval and respect by joining the training.

They were running up a hill and she threw in another song to motivate them and increase their pace.

“How many Geisha dey your locker”

“Only one Geisha dey my locker”

“Eh I no go fit open am, eh I no fit open am …”

It worked and soon they were at the top of the hill and running down, that was the last training for the day and it was almost 7pm, they trained from 5am, and after breakfast they trained until lunch at 2pm and after an hour break they trained again until 7pm, she had to make sure they covered all bases and also needed to make a report on her laptop about each of them to be submitted to her superior.

With an order, following a sigh of relief for them to leave for their various duties she walked back to her room while stretching her taut muscles, without missing a bit she felt the presence of someone beside her then she felt a pair of hands on both side of her shoulders and instantly she knew who it was.

“I know your muscles must be aching… I can offer you a massage”. A breathy almost seductive voice whispered in her ear.

Bellatrix turned and smiled at her, Onyinyechi was a military Doctor in training, and they had first been introduced during their year one in university and clicked instantly. She was a friend first until something began brewing amongst them, Bellatrix ignored it but Onyinyechi wasn’t ready to let it go.

It began with innocent little kisses on the cheek then the lips and suddenly they were full on making out. Soon they fooled around in university and during camp until Bellatrix asked Onyinyechi out and they were in a relationship.
