Chamber of Secrets | Ghost x Reader

Chapter 20 - Second

You slowly wake up from your sleep. Turning to look at the portable clock you always carried, it read midnight. 

[11.30 PM]

It's been so long since you slept without nightmares or heavy thoughts.

You get up from your lying position to sit on your bed. Staring into nothing. Because your room is the farthest one and in the corner, you have a window attached to your wall.

The moonlight is slightly peeking through the window. Adding the atmosphere of night. 

Without nothing better to do and knowing all too well you won't get any sleep soon, you get out of your room and walk to the kitchen. Decided to make yourself some food since no one was waking you up for dinner.

Knowing Alejandro and Rodolfo would never wake you up once they saw you really comfortable and didn't seem to have any nightmares. And about Soap, well, poor guy, you imagine him wanting to wake you up, but Alejandro is quick to tell him no. 

Don't even start with Ghost. That guy doesn't ever care whether you breathe or not.

The hallway is silent, but some of Alejandro's men can be heard patrolling outside. 

As you reach the kitchen, it's empty with just a light on right above the dining table.

Four chairs surround the table, facing each other. While the fridge is pushed against the right corner of the room and the rest beside it is the kitchen counter. There's a mini microwave and bread toaster on it. 
You bring yourself to open the fridge and immediately spot a plate full of food.

You smile to yourself as you take it out, stopping your action when you see a sticky note underneath. You hold the plate in one hand while the other takes the note. You smiled to yourself when you saw the writing.

No olvides calentarlo. Lo hice con mucho cariño, así que no dejéis sobras :) - Rudy

(Don't forget to heat it. I made it with a lot of love, so don't leave any leftovers :) - Rudy)

Rudy's handwriting is always one to admire. It's effortlessly beautiful without even trying, especially when he writes in his mother tongue.

You folded the paper and put it in your pants pocket. Closing the fridge as you walk to the microwave. Placing the food inside and pressing the timer, then you sit on one of the chairs, boredly waiting for the time to run out.

Waiting while staring at the microwave, your mind unconsciously goes back to thinking about plans for tomorrow's mission.

You don't know that much about Las Almas. All you remember about this plot in Mexico is when Soap and Ghost meet Alejandro and how they talk about El Sin Nombre, then how suddenly Hassan has been captured. With the help of Graves for air support, of course. And lastly, a little bit of Valeria.

And that's all. 

You don't know any details anymore. And that's what concerned you after the meeting in the afternoon.

Yes, you believe in Alejandro's plan and his intelligence, but you can't help but think about how suddenly the mission will go the other way around. 

But then again, both your Latino friends will always have their way. So you quickly calm yourself and decide to trust them. 

When you are with them, you somehow always manage to calm down quicker than with others. That's why you feel lighter when you meet Alejandro and Rodolfo again.

Even though you don't know much about them, let alone what will happen with them beside Hassan incident and Valeria, all you know is that they will be safe. They will always come back alive and put your mind at ease. Your mind doesn't need to be working 24/7 worrying about what might happen because you don't know anything.
