Capítulo 68: Chapter 63
AN: I'm typing this while being painfully aware of my phone's battery life... 😂
Some might've already guessed what is gonna happen in her POV, but some also had missed the mark, i will not confirm or deny them, as it still will be a spoiler for those who just wait and see and not think about it...
So without further delay, here' so your chapter!!!
~~
A FEW MONTHS AFTER JOINING THE MILITARY MEDICAL STAFF
"Hssss... Oh that stings, but you're delicate touch makes up for it sweetheart" The young Soldier patient I had tried flirting with me.
I dabbed the cotton with alcohol harder than usual on his wound and heard him hiss louder in pain. But my face was neutral and detached, I made it clear to everyone, especially the men, that I was only here to work, and to support °MY MAN° in the military. I'm playing the devoted wife, a wife who loves her husband so much that she followed her in the military.
"As I've said and is a well-known knowledge here, and if you have not seen my ring. I'm a married woman... And I love °My chosen partner°" I replied monotonously, and without thinking much aside from the last part, I thought of my Robin whenever I had to say it, but I had to stop myself from smiling silly whenever I did, she just made my heart flutter, even when I have not seen or heard from her for a while now.
I finished cleaning up his wounds changed his bandages and moved to the next patient. Ignoring the disappointed sighs from the surrounding patients.
When I first got here, I was lucky that my husband was available to guide me around and announce our marital status, it did not completely eliminate or halt the gossip, jealous women, and perverts from going after me, but it did help to lessen the number a bit. I just need to be careful to not be left alone with any men and avoid any interaction with them as much as possible since there could be misunderstandings.
But, no matter how much one tries to prevent something or avoid it... There's still that one thing or in this case, a person that ruins your plan...
"Hello there baby doll, have you had your lunch yet? We just got some rations delivered and the cooks had made a special meal for me, I asked them to make extra for one more person, so we could eat together." The insufferable man called out to me, with a not-so-quiet volume, meaning a lot of people heard.
Perfect, another fuel for their jealous women to gossip about. The man who just called out to me was Staff Sergeant Kurt Oakley, at the age of 24, is among the youngest to be promoted to this position, and to use some combination of words that my love used to describe men of his looks and demeanor... °He looks like a basic white male fuck boy, giving small penis energy°...
[AN: I just google military positions, went to images, and picked a position, I have no idea about the actual way or how they get promoted, etc. So if this bit is wrong or unbelievable... Please let it pass so the story can progress 😂]
I have to say the first time I heard her say such words... And the word for male reproductive organ, I was a bit shocked, and I didn't get her reference... But as I continue to encounter them, and with her pointing them out to me when we were still together... I must say, Kurt does, again using her words, °Check all the boxes°.
"As I've told you before, over and over Staff Sergeant Kurt Oakley, with all due respect, it is very unethical and disrespectful of you to invite me, a happily married woman, to dine or talk to you alone in your office or anywhere at all," I say in also a not so low volume, so the nasty rumors won't be too much. Not even sparing him a glance while I continue to take care of another patient... Who was now just awkwardly watching this all happen in front of him.
Truth be told, I want to just kick the man in between his °Baby maker° and make him a °Eunuch°, effectively doing the world a favor by not letting him spread his progeny into the world. Again the strange words and phrases are from my dear Robin, that woman says strange things, but they're mostly funny and amusing, and our group of friends and no doubt her family too have been quite influenced by her.
"Whoa whoa whoa! That's a bit much ain't Missus, I'm just trying to be nice towards my dear friend's wife... I would be ashamed to face him if he heard that I wasn't taking care of you. So what do you say, huh?" He ignored my reply and the clear refusal on my expression and just smiled at me that most of the gullible and desperate women here would swoon over, mind you I was pertaining to the gossiping women.
I remember Robin saying something about the future that women may have something along the lines of feminism and gender equality... And by the way she described it, it sounded amazing yet troubling, since she also explained how women might misuse or overuse it. Ok I'm getting off-topic, I just wanted to say that the majority of women here, °Did not pass the vibe check°.
[AN: Omg 😂, this is killing me, I have Rosalie in my imagination right now saying all these things and it's so funny in her 1930s look]
"The answer is still No. Regardless of your relations with my husband, it is still inappropriate for a married woman to get close to a man who is not her husband, to meet a man alone in an enclosed room, please remember your position, Staff Sergeant" I said in a very cold tone, to hammer in the message in his thick skull and prove to everyone that I am innocent in this scenario, and he's the one that's pursuing me, and I'm not giving him any mixed signals.
I believe this is usually when my Robin will usually do the motion with her hands like he's dropping something, after winning an argument against Isaac, then she says °Mic Drop°. I kind of want to do it too, but I'm afraid to be perceived as weird, not that I'm saying that my love was weird, well she is, but she's adorable when she acts like that... Her smug face when she won a silly little argument was so adorable, that my heart swelled just remembering it, I again had to stop myself from smiling.
By the way for those wondering why I dare reply in such a way, well... In a way, the rumors that I was being protected by someone from a higher position were a bit true... But not in the way the rumors made it out to be, I did not open my legs to get special treatment... It was my husband... He opened his °Back door° for his new lover who was in a very high position, the said lover was told about our arrangement and agreed to take me under his wing. As long as I don't go overboard. And blatantly rejecting someone who was clearly being inappropriate and abusing their position is not going overboard.
The man's face darkened for a bit, but it only lasted for a second, and went back to being friendly, smiling like he wasn't offended, so nobody other than me saw it.
"I understand, please don't take it the wrong way, I'm just honestly trying to look out for my friends woman. No hard feelings. If you need help with anything, you know where to find me. Don't be a stranger" He said smiling, turned his back, and left.
This man feels dangerous, the type that gets violent after being denied one too many times, the kind of person who doesn't react well to rejection, and this guy seems like he's gonna snap soon, I need to be more careful...
I stood up to go to another patient, still ignoring the whispers and gossiping people, when I caught a familiar person, scratch that, 3 familiar people being led by someone, who was one of the doctors in charge...
My heart sped up, and hope bloomed in my heart... Is she here also?
