it’s break time and you’re having lunch with Ghost.

"I like this girl" he starts saying.

"okay" you respond.

"but I’m giving her up" he continues.

"why? you ask. have you told her how you feel?"

"no" he says firmly.

"you’re giving up without telling her?" your eyebrows frown as you look at him.

"she has a boyfriend" he says, playing with his fork.

there’s a minute of silence.

"do you like her a lot?" you ask him.

"I do" he admits. "a lot."

"goodness…" you exclaim. "steal her from her boyfriend."

"should I?" a little smile appears on his lips.

"so who is it? someone at our base?"

"not telling, it’s a secret."

"she must be really pretty" you look down at your food.

"yes… she is" he stares at you with those sweet brown eyes.

if only you weren’t too blind to notice he was talking about you.
