Astaria is the newest team member of Task Force 141. She's a skilled fighter and the best of the best when it comes to gathering intel. When she meets Ghost, Konig, and Keegan, she can't help but fall for all three of them. Each on...
I missed the dinner that night and stayed in my room for the next two days. Price came to check on me and I told him what happened. After that, he left me alone. Ghost has made it a habit to bring me food and gifts. He bought me a dress when everyone went into the next town over. I smile as I think back to it.
Memory Of Yesterday...
"It made me think of you." Ghost said as he took the small dress out of the shopping bag. There's a shoe box next to the bag. He held up the dress. It's a small white dress with spaghetti straps. It has little pink roses and green leaves on it. He set the dress carefully on the bed so I was able to view it. He opened the shoe box to reveal a pair of gray heels.

"Ghost," I said. "This.... this is beautiful." I looked at him and smiled. "Thank you."
"I figured you could wear it on our date." He said My smile grew bigger.
"A date?" I asked. He nodded.
"I made us a reservation for this nice upscale restaurant a few towns over." He said. "For Saturday evening." I stepped closer.
"Are you asking me on a date Simon?" I asked and placed my hand on his chest. Using his first name caught him off guard. He hesitated.
"Maybe." He said. I laughed a little.
"Are you nervous?" I asked.
"Around you?" He asked. "Always."
"Why?" I asked.
"Because I'm in love with you Star." He said.
End Of Memory...
I pull the dress out of the closet and look at it. It's beautiful honestly. I love how the flowers look delicate. The date was set for two nights from now. A knock on my door pulls me out of my thoughts. I hang the dress back up in the closet and walk over to the door. When I open it, Ghost stands in front of me with a bouquet of pink roses and a few bags. I let him in and close the door behind him. He sets the bags on my dresser and turns to me, roses still in hand. "How are you feeling?" He asks softly. I smile as he grabs a vase from one of the bags.

"I'm doing okay," I say and sit on the bed with my legs crossed. I watch as he trims the roses and fills the vase with water. "I've just been reading a lot." He places the roses in the vase and makes it look nice.
"What's the last book you read?" He asks and cleans up the rose stems. I tell him about my book as he unpacks the bags he brought. He pulls out various things, ranging from books to clothes. From shoes to jewelry. In the last bag, he pulls out a few boxes that look like they have food in them. I'm so hungry. I really hope it's food. "That sounds like it was a good book." He opens the boxes to reveal a few different pastas, steak, sandwiches, and a few side dishes like stuffed mushrooms, salads, and another pasta. "I brought a few different options." I smile.
"I see." I say. "We won't be able to eat all of this though."
"We'll not everyone is here yet." He says. Before I can answer, there's a knock at the door again. He opens it and the rest of the team come in. Most of them I haven't seen in days.
"Hey guys." I say with a smile. They all say hi and smile at me.
"How are you feeling Star?" Price asks as he sits down on the couch on the left side of the room. Gaz and Keegan sit on either of him. Konig leans against the dresser and Soap sits on the bed next to me. We all grab some food and start eating.
