•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
I wake up to the sound of my alarm blaring in my ear. I quickly jump to turn it off. I sit up and dangle my legs off the side of the bed while I rub my eyes. Memories of last night flood my brain and I turn to see if Simon stayed. When I don't spot him, I stand up, wanting to get dressed. The minute I push myself off the bed, pain swells in my lower abdomen.

"Ahh." I quietly cry out loud as I grab my abdomen. I sit back down on the bed because my legs are also weak. I smile and begin laughing to myself.

"Today is going to be great." I sarcastically say before I'm startled by the bathroom door opening.

"Well good morning love." Simon says emerging from the bathroom. I smile and he smiles back before he notices I'm holding my abdomen.

"Are you alright?" He asks walking toward me. I nod my head.

"Yeah, just a bit sore." I say calmly. He smiles as he steps in front of me. I watch as his hips sway from one side to the other as he places himself in front of me. I place my eyes on his lower abs, admiring how his sweatpants lie on his body. I begin to slowly make my way up to his chest, where my eyes linger a little too long. Simon then places his pointer finger under my chin and slowly guides my face up. As I lift my eyes, I'm met with his intense gaze and I swallow hard.

"Get dressed tiny, we're skydiving this morning." I quickly snap out of my lustful thinking and look at him shocked.

"What the hell are you talking about?" I ask confused.

"Y/n. Were you not paying attention to Price at the last meeting?" He asks as he pulls his mask on. I look to the right of us and think back to the debriefing. All I was thinking about during the first half, was my encounter with Ghost.

"Fuck." I sigh realizing I had fucked up.

"What? You scared of heights?" He says crossing his arms and shifting his body weight to the left. I hold eye contact with him and stand from the bed, fighting the aching pain.

"No." I say. Which was true, it's just been so long since I've skydived. He leans down so our faces are almost touching.

"Prove it." He says smugly. I feel my eyebrow twitch as I respond back.

"Oh, I will Lieutenant." I say in a teasing tone. He then looks me up and down and exhales.

"You look really good in my t-shirt, but could I have it back so I can sneak off to my room?" He asks still using a smug tone, teasing me of course. I cross my arms and lift the shirt up and over my body, exposing my naked body to him. I watch as he moves his eyes from mine to my breasts. I clear my throat and he snaps his eyes back up. I then hand him his shirt and he takes it. Then I nod my head toward the door.

"We've got some time." He states.

"Out. I've got a Luitenant to prove wrong." I say as I push him toward the door. He turns himself around to look at me as he pulls his shirt over his body.

"I'll see you in a bit." He says softly before opening the door, and closing it shut behind him. I exhale and chuckle before I turn around to get dressed.

Once I'm dressed and ready for the day I open my door, and head down the hall toward the kitchen where I'm met with Soap.

    "Morning lass. Have fun last night?" He asks as he sips something from his mug. I stand still and look at him freaking out a bit.

    "Don't tell me you blacked out." Soap says placing his mug down on the counter. I nervously laugh.

    "Oh my gosh, no. I only had a couple of drinks." I giggle.

    "Good. Price said Ghost walked you to your room last night, so I figured it must've been a long night for ya." He says as he rubs his eye with his fingers. I smile at him.

    "No, don't worry. I stayed out of trouble." I pause trying to come up with an excuse.

    "I just wanted to make sure she would make it up the stairs. Nothing too serious." Ghost's voice fills the room, sending chills down my spine. I glance over at him and watch as he heads to the counter. Butterflies fill my stomach when I notice him glance over to me, as he  lets out a small chuckle.

"You know, that's a pretty believable story. I'm just having a hard time believing it since Ghost was nowhere to be found the ENTIRE time y/n was out." Keegan's voice chimes in as he walks into the kitchen. I snap my head over to look at him and I watch intently as he sits down next to Soap, with a smug smile on his face. 

"What?!" Soap says shocked looking between Keegan and I. Keegan then leans in closer to Soap.

"I went to see if he wanted to watch the movie with us, and Ghost was nowhere to be found. If you ask me I think it's-"

"That's enough!" Price says as he comes into the kitchen. "You boys leave them alone."

"Sorry, Captain." Keegan says as he hangs his head down. I look over to Ghost to see his back facing us, he seems to be just staring at the counter.

"Is everyone ready? Alejandro is a bit eager to get this going." Price says as he looks between all of us. We all nod our heads but Price hasn't taken his eyes off Ghost.

"Ghost?" Price asks softly. "You ready?" Ghost then turns around and nods his head,

"Yes sir." He responds to him in his monotone voice. Price inhales sharply.

"Alright everyone, load up." Price says as he signals us out.

As we get to the airport I see a jet and a helicopter and my nerves begin to go crazy. I look over to Alejandro who is driving, and as soon as I land my eyes on him, he looks at me with a smile.

    "You like what you see?" He asks and I can't tell if he's joking or not. I shift myself back into my seat, wishing it'd swallow me.

    "So wait. Are you and Ale a thing, or you and Ghost?" Soap teasingly asks with a laugh. Alejandro and I both say nothing. Soap then nudges my arm.

    "Oh lighten up will ya? I'm just joking." He finishes while he crosses his arms. I look in the backseat at him and shake my head before Alejandro stops the vehicle.

    "Alright, we're here." Alejandro says before Soap flies out the door excited. As he closes his door I can faintly hear him yell to Ghost.

    "Better watch out Ghost! Ale here is making a move on your girl!" I look past Alejandro to Ghost who is about fifteen feet from our vehicle. I then quickly unbuckle and fling myself out the door. Ghost's gaze is on Alejandro, and Alejandro is staring back almost as if they're challenging one another. I then look over at Price who is shaking his head before I hear a thud and I loud breathe for air. I look over to see Soap on the ground to the side of Ghost.

"Knock it off you two or you won't be diving!" Price says and I couldn't help but giggle.

"Let's get this over with." Soap says as Ghost lends a hand out to him. Soap goes to take it while he starts to stand, but Ghost places his arm back to his side, and Soap lands right back on his butt. 

"Oh come on!" Soap says and I smile as I watch Ghost laugh through his mask, looking at me.
