Perfectly Imperfect

Chapter 6

*Maria Camilla*

By the time I returned to the barracks, I heard that General was around. Strolling outside, I started noticing my environment. I've been too busy with being on duty or with the rebels and even major.

We only met a week ago, that is before my oath. Why does my mind tell me that things are moving too fast between the both of us but my heart is willing to give him a chance.

I've never had this problem of my heart debating with my brain but after meeting him, it's as if something in me has changed.
I feel so occupied and as if I have a load on my shoulders.

Truth be told, I'm really nervous about this whole relationship. Never have I tried it before so here I am confused than ever.
That reminded me of Nicho.

Plugging out my phone from my uniform, I speed dialed him.
"Sup Nicho?" I cheered up as soon as I heard his voice at the other end.
"Camilla, goodness. Are you still at work?"he asked instead of answering my question.

"Yeah, I've been busy lately," I said trying to get service.
"Why didn't you call to inform me?"
"Is that an obligation?"
"Seriously?" He scoffed at me.

"You never change Camilla," I could imagine the face he would be making right now. I miss him but I wouldn't tell or else he'll pee on my head, that's for sure.

"As if you do. Aren't you supposed to be back by now, what are you still doing in Germany?"
"Why do you ask?" I hear the cockiness in his voice.
"You know what, I'll call back when you stop being an asshole,"shouting into the phone, I immediately hung up, huffed and turned around but stopped dead in my tracks.

Major was standing there with a smirk and God knows for how long. Nicho called back but I hung up again without a second thought. We never get along but never grow tired of each other.

"Seems like someone woke up from the wrong side of the bed today," his hands went up in surrender, walking towards me.
"It's nothing. Just my best friend who won't stop being an asshole," walking past him, he caught up with me in no time.

"Guy?" My eyes travelled to his, wanting to know why he asked.
"Jealous?" I gave my teasing smile with a raised brow.
"Wish I could but unfortunately, I cannot be jealous of what has offered to be mine," he busied himself in watching his nails, trying to avoid my gaze.

Now he's pinning this on me! He was the one that asked to give him a shot.

But he wasn't the one who said yes to it

The voice in me spoke and ughh, I hate it!
"Ughh, what's wrong with everyone today?" Groaning, I stomped away feeling irritated about everything that happened back there. From Nicho, to Major, to my inner voice.

I didn't realize until I bumped into a hard chest and the person caught me.
It was General Marshall Del Lione.
Good lord!
"General I'm so so sorry.... I didn't mean to... I'm really sorry," I kept on apologizing non stop even when he made the signals for me to stop rambling.

"It's alright. Just watch your steps before you end up falling," he said.
Goodness, I need to get out of here.
"General, I'll pay my respects later please forgive me. I really really need to go now," Rambling once again, I took off without an answer from him.

He must be thinking I'm crazy or something.

*General*

"Is everything okay with her?" Del Rosario stomped all through her way, venting her anger whatsoever on a piece of stick which stood on her way.

"I don't think so," I turned back to major while he watched her.
