"I've missed you, Farah!". And they both laugh. Your blood boiled. The tide of jealousy that overcame you was astonishing, 'cause hearing him, your lover and boyfriend, saying that phrase with such affection was making you on the verge of being upset. Him saying that he missed another woman. Farah was his closest friend, as well to you, but it would not wash way that awful feeling. Farah was a fierce, brave and a sweet woman - and a Commander, like Nik - while you were just a Corporal.
A scowled expression crossed your face, but you were capable of dismiss it when both turned here and there, their faces to talk to you. And you just smiled back. Just fucking smiled. And you were not paying attention on the conversation anymore. Just in his happy face around her.
Nikolai was sweet, caring and romantic around you, always, and you knew that was just friendship between them, but you loved him, and it had its price. Already upset, you took your phone, and after looking the hour, you managed to stop watching that cute little scene. "Oh! Sorry, guys, Laswell is calling me". You lied, to start walking. "We talk later". You politely said, to turn your back, frowning again your expression, leaving quickly from there.
