Navy Love

2. New Hope



I wake up and get dressed then I go to the medics room. "Hey lover girl." People smirk at me as I walk by. "Hey Mrs Bagans." They continued to mess with Me. I finally make it to the medic room. I'm going to hide away in here all day. "Rawson, you weren't at breakfast." Chief Zak comes in and tells me. "I didn't want to see anyone." I tell him. "So your going to starve yourself?" "Yes Chief." "No, you need to eat." "I'm good. I don't want to see anyone." I admit. "I expect you to be at lunch." "No promises." "You are to show up to lunch or your scrubbing bathrooms again." He tells me. "Aye aye chief." "Very well. I need you to fix me up." He sits down on the patience's table. "What's wrong?" I ask him. He then unzips his coveralls revealing a bloody mess. "What did you do?" I ask him as I get a cloth and water. "Nothing." He answered. "I need to know so I can treat it. To me looks like a rash you've been scratching and it turned bloody" . I start cleaning his wounds. "That's what happened." He tells me. I get all the dried blood off and get and ointment. I put it on and he sucks in through his teeth. "What are you doing?" He asks me. "Ointment for your rash." I tell him. "Your trying to hurt me." "I am not! I would never hurt one of my patients no matter how much I dislike them." I tell him. "You still mad about that?" He sighs. "Of course. Every time I walk down the damn hall I'm called lover girl or Mrs Bagans! I will always be mad at you." I tell him rudely. "I was doing my job teaching you respect." "That's not how you handle it." "Oh so now your telling me to do my job?" "No, I'm just saying you should have handled it differently." "Whatever. You learned to respect me and that's all I wanted." He tells me. "Ok." "I'm sorry about that though." He lies to me. I look him in the eyes. Then at his smirking face. "No your not." I tell him. "Your right I'm not." He tells me. "Your all fixed up. You can leave now." I tell him as I turn around. He puts his shirt back on and zips it up. I hand him a small tube of ointment. "Put it on twice a day for a week. If it gets worse come see me again. "Any specific times?" "When you wake up and go to bed." I tell him. "Alright thank you." He tells me nicely. "Your welcome." "I want you to start eating." He tells me. "I will eventually." "No, I can't have you fainting on the job." "I'm not going to faint." "You will." He argues. "I'll eat when I get the chance." "You better be at lunch." "What if I have more patients?" "Well you treat them then you can come to lunch." "Your still going to punish me aren't you?" "I'll think about it." I turn around and wash my hands. I felt strong arms around me and a kiss on my neck. "Hey baby girl." They smile. I turn around to see Chris. "Chris!" I hug him excitedly. I pull back and smile. "What are you doing here?" "I came to see you." He smiles back. Chris is a very built man with big arms and a big chest. He has short buzz cut brown hair, green eyes and the most beautiful smile. "You staying out of trouble?" He asks me. "Not really." I sigh then look at Zak. "Figured. You can't stay out of trouble. You were in detention more than me!" "How's the wife and kid?" I smile at him I change the subject. "The kid is good. I got divorced." He tells me. "Oh no what happened?" "She cheated on me." "I see." I nod my head. I look to see Zak still sitting on the table scratching his chest. "Don't scratch you'll make it bleed again."

I tell him. "It's just so itchy." He continues to scratch. "I heard what happened last night." He tells me softly. "Yeah?" "Yeah, apparently your commander called you out saying you have a crush on him." He tells me. "Yeah." I sigh. "That's terrible. Everyone calls you lover girl now." "That's why I'm not eating. I don't want to see anyone." "He really humiliated you didn't he? It's not like you to hide. You usually face all the bullshit. Your stronger than this Harley." "I don't want to talk about it." I sigh. "No your not going to starve yourself because of him being a dick to you. If you get sick and stop eating or hurt yourself because of him I'll take him out. I can make it look like an accident." "Chris, you will not hurt him." "Do you really still love him after what he did to you?" He asks me. I look into his eyes then at Zak. He was waiting for my answer. "Yes, that's why you shouldn't hurt him." "Fine, just give me the word when you want him gone." "Okay." "So I was thinking. You me dinner." "As friends." I tell him. "I think it's time we move out of the friends with benefits zone." "Chris." I sigh. "Please baby girl. I'm crazy about you." "I don't know." I stare at the ground. "Come on princess." "Chris, I'll think about it." "Good, come here." He puts his hands around my waist. I look down at the floor upset. He lifts my chin up then kisses me. I kiss him back. I heard Zak clear his throat. I try to pull back but he wouldn't let me. "Ow, I'm bleeding again." Zak tells me. I pull back and hit chris. "What the hell was that?" "Don't pretend you didn't like it." He chuckles. I go over to Zak and look at his chest again. Sure enough he was bleeding. "So dinner with me tonight?" He asks. "Sure. Just as friends." "Baby girl, don't be like that. You owe me this dinner." "Chris, I don't know!!" I get pissed at him. "Baby." "She doesn't want to so back off man!" Zak gets mad. "Mind your own business." "This is my business. She's under my command." Zak stands up towering over Chris. "Yes chief. My apologizes." He then walks out of the room. Zak sat back down on the bed. "Some boyfriend you have." "He's not my boyfriend." "So you let any guy come up and kiss you?" "No, I went to high school with him. He's just there." I sigh. I clean his wounds again. "He's a fuckboy." He tells me. "He is." I agree. "You should cut him off." He tells me kindly. "I will." "Your cleaning tonight." He tells me softly. "What did I do?" I question him. "Don't question me." "Yes chief." I clean his wounded harder. "Ow." He tells me. I pull back and look at him. I throw away the cloth and stare at him. Right when he was being nice he turns into a dick again. "So you still love me?" He asks as he stares at the floor. I look out the window then at him. "No, I don't have any feelings towards you anymore." I finally say after a long pause. "I was just doing my job." He tells me. "You didn't have to humiliate me in front of my brothers. "Hey lover girl." A boy walks by the door. "I will fuck you up if you call me that one more time." I yell at him. "Sorry." He then walks away. "Can you like bandage me up? It's going to rub on my clothes." Zak tells me. I get out the bandage cloth and start wrapping. "So you went to EMT school?" He asks me. "Yeah, two years." "What made you want to do that?" He asks softly as he watches me. "I liked saving people. I was always interested in helping people." I confess. "How come your not a doctor or an perimedic ?" "I enjoy tough challenging work. Plus I get to fight for my country." I smile at him. "Nice." He smiles back. You know he can be nice when he wants to be. "When did you learn to be a pilot?" "I always knew how to fly. My dad taught how when I was younger. I then went to the explorer program and got certified." I tell him. "Same." He agrees. "Really?" I smile back at him. "Really." He smiles back. I finish wrapping him up. "You can you have a very kind heart." He tells me. "Well thank you." I smile back at him. "To kind for my taking. I don't know if your going to make it here." He tells me rudely. "And the asshole is back." I sigh. "I'm always an asshole to people I don't like." "God you make me so mad." "Why is that sweetheart?" He chuckles. "You go to being nice and now your back to being a dick." "I see. Well lover girl ill see you at 1200 hour. We are flying." He puts his shirt back on and zips it up. "Don't call me that. I don't love you." "That's not what you told fuckboy." He points out. "I just said that so you wouldn't get hurt." "You still care about me." He chuckles. "Keep telling yourself that." I wash my hands. "I don't have to. You give yourself away." He stands next to me. I look up at him scared. He was inches from my face. He looks at my lips then back into my eyes. I watched as he softly bit his bottom lip. He's so handsome. "See. You give yourself away." He chuckles. "Do not." I back up. "I would never date a girl As weak as you." He tells me. "And I wouldn't date an asshole like you. You know what. I'm going to take Chris up on his offer." I tell him. "Are you trying to make me jealous?" "No! I don't care about you." "What ever." He rolls his eyes. "God I hate you!" "Drop and give me twenty." He turns around and tells me. I drop and do my push ups mumbling swear words at him in Spanish. I finish then stand up and face him. "Twenty more for swearing me out." "You speak Spanish?" "Un poco." He tells me. (Little bit.) I drop down then start mumbling in Russian. "Now Russian do you want more?" "No sir." I continue to do my push ups. I finish then look at him. "How many languages can you speak fluently?" He asks me. "Russian, Spanish, Italian, and French." I tell him. "I see. Where did you learn those?" "My family." "I see." He nods his head. He then walks out. I spend hours tending to sick patients. Finally lunch rolls around. I have two patients here. "Harley?" A guy knocks on the door.



I look over to to see the most handsome guy I've seen.(see above.)  He had a nice strong jawline, hug cheek bones,nice plump lips, big blues eyes, a  slender nose and short brown hair. "I brought you lunch." He says with a Russian accent. "Do you speak Russian?" I ask him in russain.  "I do." He smiles widely at me.  "Me too!" I smile back.  "How did a beautiful American girl like you learn Russian?" He smiles in Russian.  "My grandma speaks Russian." I reply.  "Very good."  "I brought you lunch." He smiles handing me two boxes. "You brought me food?" I smile. "Yeah, well I was ordered to and give you this note." He hands me a note. "Eat up beautiful, Love Zak." Love? Is he hitting on me?  "What does it say?" He asks me. "Eat up, Zak." I tell him.  "He's such an ass. I wanted to kick his ass for doing that to you last night." He tells me. "Yeah, it was a dick move."  "Watching you break down and the horror on your face killed me." He continues to speak Russian. "Really?" I smile.  "Yes, just something inside of me hurt when I saw you hurt." He admits.  "That's sweet." I smile and fix my patients. "Do you have a boyfriend?" He asks me. "No." I smile.  "Okay, sorry just wondering."  "I don't mind. How do you know Russian?" I smile back at him.  "I'm full blooded Russian. My parents are from Russia."  "I see, Ive always wanted to go to Russia. How are you in the American navy then?"   "I can take you some time. I was born on U.S soil." He smiles at me.  "What the hell are you two saying?" My patient asks me.  "We are just talking about you. Saying you smell funny." I tease him.  "No seriously." He smiles at me.  "Nothing." I finish him up.  "I didn't catch your name what is it?" I smile at him in Russian.  "Ivan Petrov." He smiles and shakes my hand. "Harley Rawson." I smile up at him. "Now I understood that." My patient smiles.  "Look at you." I play with him. "I'm in your platoon." Ivan tells me.  "Really?" I smile at him.  "Yes. My room is two doors down from yours."  "That's great." I smile at him widely.  "Yeah, you ever want to talk just come see me." He offers. "I'll take you up on that."  "When you knock its six times." He tells me.  "Okay, I'll remember that."  "I like you." He smiles.  "I like you too." I smile.  "You two are so cute."  My other patient smiles. "She's the cute one." Ivan flirts. I blush and smile at the ground. He's a sweetheart.  "Aww she's blushing!"  He smiles. I finish both patients then eat my lunch. "So what time do you finish here?" Ivan asks me.  "Well I have fly training at 12 so an hour."  "Your a pilot?"  "Yes."  "That's cool."he smiles at me.  "Would you like to have dinner with me and my buddies?" He asks me.  "I'd love to but I'm cleaning bathrooms again." I sigh.  "Which ones?"  "A hall." I tell him.  "I'll stop by and see you then." He flashes me a smile.  "Alright. If I'm aloud to eat supper can i still eat with you?" I smile at him.  "Of course." He smiles.  "Great." I smile back. I like him. He's a nice guy. I think I'm crushing on him. Forget Zak. I have Ivan. He speaks my language too! "Well I better get training." He smiles at me. "Good luck."  "Bye beautiful."  "Bye Ivan." I smile.  I watch him walk out of the room. I then finish my shift in the hospital wing then go out side to the planes. I saw Zak laughing and joking with his buddies Nick and Aaron.  Here we go. Time to fly.
