New Things

I was so happy to have him back.
And even more happy that he liked my hair.
It was such in impulsive decision.
Well it wasn't really a decision at all.

It was like last time.
One of the rookies just wouldn't listen.
And after getting put in his place he disrespected me and questioned my authority.

I was so glad about my other rookies.
They all had stood up for me.
But I couldn't let this slide.
So I did what I did last time.
Just to demonstrate that there was no messing with me.

Little did I know that this idiot thought he could play dirty.
He went for my long braid.
I hated it.

And as I broke his nose he took that personal.
Out of nowhere he pulled out his knife.

While going straight for my head I dodged him and he catched a big part of my braid.

It was a big mistake for him to pull a knife on ME.
I was too good in that.
I had him disarmed quickly and nearly killed him with his own knife.

I almost lost it in that moment.
Luckily price was with me that day.
He also helped me getting that guy kicked out.

Not only back to basic camp.
Completely kicked out of the military.
Attacking a supervisor was no simple mistake.

After that I had a full grown angry panic attack.
In an impulsive thought I chopped off even more hair.

Even though everyone was so sweet about it and I also liked how it looked it was very strange.
But maybe it was a new start.

Simon and I took a walk around the base and talked a lot.
It was so nice to have him back.
I had missed him so much.

We stopped at the field for the K9 trainings.
They were new at the base.
But I loved it.
I loved dogs.
They were all so cute.

And the trainers let me cuddle with them when they weren't training.

One of the trainers was especially nice to me.
I loved his dog.

Moon was a very sweet and well trained German shepherd.

But James was not so well trained.

He flirted with me all the time.
I had told him about Simon in every situation I could find.
I had used the term ‚MY BOYFRIEND' so much I couldn't count it anymore.
But he was never more than overly nice to me.
Luckily.

As we watched some trainings and talked Simon kept staring at me.

„What is it with the staring love?"

I asked laughing.

„Can't I admire my girlfriend?"

„You can but that's more than usual"

„I just missed you."

he said soft and caressed my cheek.

In this moment I was almost ran over by Moon.
I laughed and cuddled him.

„Are you ok darling?"

Simon asked concerned.

„Yes yes he does that sometimes"

I giggled.

„Moon sit!"

Moon sat down and looked up to me.

„Good boy"

I grinned and patted him.
I looked around.
Where Moon was James wouldn't be far.

„Moon where's James?"

I asked leaning down to him.

„Who's-„

Simon started but was interrupted by a running James that completely ignored Simon's existence and stormed past him towards me.

„Oh my god I'm so sorry.
He never does this.
Only when you're here. I mean I can understand him"

He laughed loud and gave me his usual flirty grin.

Simon cleared loudly his throat and glared at James. They were almost the same hight.
James flinched and looked over.

„Then your dog seems to need some more training"

Simon blaffed.
I could see how annoyed he was even through his mask.
James raised his eyebrows and crossed his arms.
He was about to give one of his snappy answers as I interrupted him.

„James. This is Simon. My boyfriend"

I stepped next to Simon, to be exact a little before him. I didn't wanted this to escalate.

„Lieutenant Ghost for you"

Simon said cold.

„Ahhh Ghost. Yeah I heard about you. A lot. She talkes about you non stop"

he laughed but it was clear that it was annoyed laugh.
This man had an attitude that wasn't good for him.

„Aaaaalright we're heading back to training"

he said short and turned to leave.
But not before giving me a flirty wink.
I couldn't help but look disgusted.

„What's up with this jerk"

Simon hissed as James had left.

„Absolutely annoying.
All in all he can be very nice but he doesn't know when to stop. I only talk to him because of Moon.
The others let me pet the dogs but he let me really cuddle with him"

I shrugged.

„Fucking idiot"

Simon muttered.

„Calm down. I know how to put him in his place."

„I sure hope so. Otherwise I will punch his cocky grin out of his face"

I laughed at this.
It was classic for Simon.
And I didn't cared.

I rather had it this way, knowing I can calm him down, than to have someone that didn't cared at all.

„Well now you have me to cuddle"

Simon said while pulling me towards him.

„Not the same but I accept it"

I grinned.
He huffed and slightly squeezed me.

„Careful little miss. I would say I'm better than a dog"

„Of course you are Simon. You are everything"

I could see the sparks in his eyes at my words.
He lifted his mask and kissed me deep.
I clenched onto him.

All the things that made my mind a mess, that kept me awake at night, were like erased.
This man was my safe space.
