I saw him just nod, he probably didn't know what to say, but come to think of it, there wasn't much to say about it. Soon after he left the room leaving me alone, I realized shortly after that it was better to go find Graves to understand what he wanted to tell me..but in part I was sure I knew what he wanted to tell me.

Finally I decided to get out of bed and then leave the room going in search of that man, finding him wouldn't have been too simple, the base of operations was quite big and there were many places to look for him, but luckily for me it hadn't been too difficult to find him.

I approached him placing my hand on his shoulder, he stopped and turned towards me, as soon as he saw me his gaze softened slightly, the one he had before seemed to be..more tense.

He was worried?

I took my hand off his shoulder as soon as I had his attention and decided to speak.

«They told me you were looking for me»

«Yeah, we have some things to talk about»

«What is it about?» I asked looking around for a few seconds, strangely the area we were in was free, it was so unusual, usually there were many soldiers passing by here.

«First I wanted to ask you..» He started to speak attracting my attention «Why was Ghost in your room?»

His question, his doubts and also his thoughts were predictable, in fact while I was looking for him I had thought of an answer to give him in case of such a question.

«He wanted to talk to me» I replied, this was true, but I knew well what else he wanted to ask «You know how he is, he prefers to have as much privacy as possible in conversation, he wanted to talk to me in my room because no one would come»

His gaze after hearing my words had become calmer, unlike Ghost he wasn't one to go into too much detail.

«And what did he want to talk about?» He asked making me regret what I had just thought.

«He simply asked me where I had gone, we went out for more than an hour, I doubt at this point that the captain has mentioned it to anyone»

«It's better this way» He replied, glancing at a soldier who was passing by us before looking back at me.

Better for whom?

«What else did you want to tell me?» I asked trying to change the subject.

«I wanted to ask you something about some documents..but I solved the problem»

«Glad to know…can I ask you something?»

«Ask whatever you want Lex»

I bit my lip, hearing my name being spoken..it was making me lose my courage.

«Are..you jealous?»

My question seemed so strange after I said it, in my thoughts it seemed to have a completely different effect.

«Be more specific» He replied in a calm tone but with a confused expression, I doubt he expected such a question.

«Jealous that someone takes your place»

«Lex..» He said pausing briefly «I still don't understand»

«Phillip are you jealous of my "relationship" with Ghost?» I simply said dropping silence, I felt I did something wrong, why did I say that? Why do I care so much to know?

I watched him close his eyes as he giggled before looking back at me with a small, almost innocent smile on his face.

«If I can be honest..» He began to speak bringing his hand to my cheek and taking a few steps forward reducing the distance that separated us «Jealous is not the correct term»

I looked at him almost perplexed, I was starting to not understand anything, I didn't want to be in that situation anymore.

«And what would be the correct term?»

«Jealous.» He replied in a whisper as his smile became more evil, his gaze began to scrutinize every part of my body, he said to stay within limits, but the limits he meant were very different from what I believed.
But I felt I wanted something that he wanted too, but doing it would have been wrong, it would have been like falling into his trap and it wasn't what I was aiming for. His ways were always different, he managed to say everything too naturally.

«What are you waiting for?» I asked, it was better if I remained silent, I felt I was doing everything wrong from the beginning.

«Shouldn't I have killed that rabbit earlier?» He replied ironically, we were thinking the same thing, as always.

«Fuck that rabbit Phillip.» I answered by bringing both hands to his face bringing it closer to mine by joining our lips, I slowly closed my eyes as I felt that sensation that was so missing from my body, it seemed to be trying a drug, a drug from which it was difficult to separate. He felt his hands resting on my hips successively bringing our bodies closer while he introduced himself into my mouth with his tongue, it seemed he wanted to devour me by the passion he was putting into it, he had been waiting for this moment for a long time, I could understand it very well, he had always under-understood him in one way or another..all his jokes depicted for him a reality that seemed almost impossible but which was now coming true before his eyes.

Funny to think how until a few hours before I thought our relationship was different even though it didn't seem so. We seemed addicted to each other but deep down it was just like that, I couldn't feel as comfortable as with him, it was strange to think but maybe I liked what I felt.

Or was he the one I liked?

We slowly pulled away from each other catching our breath, I felt my body tremble slightly, I also felt how his grip on my body became firmer, what had we become in that moment? His gaze was sweet, it had never been like this before, it seemed to me that I had completely changed the man in front of me, I partly felt guilty about it, but it shouldn't have been a problem to think about it seriously.

«I should never have put a knife to your neck.» he said sadly and repentantly.

Shit if I started to feel guilty, he seemed to love me so much, I seemed to do the same, but in my head it wasn't like that, I felt like I was deluding him, playing with his feelings.

«Don't blame yourself Phillip»

«I'm serious Lex, I almost killed you»

«As if I've never done it with you»

«I know..but it seems different to me»

Hearing his words I started caressing his cheek with a small reassuring smile on my face before bringing my arms around his waist, wrapping my arm around him.

«Don't worry, just focus on what's going to happen from now on»

He remained still and silent for a few seconds before returning the hug by placing his head on my shoulder, I was happy to have him so close and so changed from before..he seemed to be another person.
