Be My Soldier Forever

Ep. 62

Alan POVs

 

I knew that night would be the hardest night for Alice, her facial expression as Adrian pulled her out of my arm. I wanted to yell and get angry at her for trying to take her out of my arms, but I noticed Alice's facial expression, terrified, I could almost see those bad memories in her eyes. As soon as I heard her familiar little cry, I immediately ran to her room, which I saw really made my heart ache, she bowed with her trembling shoulders. I walked to his bed and sat behind him, I knew what he needed and how to calm him down. As I leaned over the song for her, I stroked her back, I could feel her start leaning on me and putting her head on my shoulder, her breathing regular and her eyes closed. I put my chin on his head.

 

The next morning I knew, he would wake up quickly and get ready for his shop, I wanted him to feel a good morning compared to last night. So I tried to make him breakfast a whipped egg and sausage. But in the middle of that preparation, Adrian came in and grabbed me to the floor, we wrestled and tried to pin each other on the floor. I was just about to win against him but, we both smelled a charred smell, we got up and saw the eggs I fried turn black, the sausages I roasted and the oil spurt. Adrian and I looked at each other with embarrassed expressions and then laughed. And that's when we heard the shower water from inside the bathroom, dead. Alice will probably come out soon and see all this mess, I panic, I don't know what to do. I heard a thud on the table and turned around to see Adrian pouring milk in the glass and started eating the burnt egg. Alice walked out of the bathroom and into the kitchen, I tried to distract her from all the confusion in the kitchen, but it didn't work.

“What have you done?” he sounded annoyed and left, then started to clean things up, Adrian and I just looked at each other.

“Yes, we want to make a good breakfast for you, but obviously we don't know how to cook.” Adrian said, and I gave him a sharp look, how dare he try to steal my thoughts, and I can cook, had he not bothered me earlier, he would have eaten well by now. He looked back at us with a look of wanting to kill.

“Two of you, clear this well, I'm going to the florist today and sign some documents. Anyway should be as clean as possible.” I was disappointed, I wanted to go with him.

“Ah but, Alice, I want to go there also with you.” I whined at him.

“Yes, you should have thought about that before you ruffled my kitchen.” With his hands on his hips he grabbed his wallet and went out to his car.

“She scolded you.” Adrian grinned, I glared at him.

“I can't believe, you're tired of doing the good I did.” I may sound like a 4-year-old kid, but I really don't care.

When we got there, we went inside and saw her tidying up some flowers.

“Wow, Alice, your store looks good. Much bigger than before.” I said, when I first saw this store, the store was not as beautiful now, and now it was filled with beautiful fresh flowers.

“Thank you, now come here and look at my flowers.” I quickly ran, and seeing everything, I did not pay attention to Adrian now.I continued to admire every flower I saw. As I was about to pull out a flower stalk, I heard a loud bang, I was shocked and saw a beautiful girl who also looked surprised to see us. Instantly he was silent to see us.

“Oh, hello Kenny, this is my brother Alan and this is Adrian his friend.” Adrian and I politely waved at him, and he blushed in embarrassment.

Alice was so embarrassed and horrified at the employee, she immediately walked up to him, grabbed his arm and carried him back. As soon as they were invisible from our sight, I bowed in pain and grabbed my thighs.

The real reason is that I came home from war, not because I wanted to leave and be with my sister, but when I was running my mission in battle, my thigh was shot by a bullet, he said, the bullet tore through some of my muscle tissue and I had to undergo surgery to remove the bullet. Adrian actually has a sister he can visit but now he's here to watch over me and has indeed the time off he hasn't taken during these few periods. So he can go wherever he wants.

“You're serious, haven't told him yet? What are you waiting for again? Quickly tell him.” Adrian started criticizing me.

“No, I don't want to tell him yet, I don't want him to worry about me, I'm fine, anyway later I can recover and recover within a year and then come back again.” I shrugged my shoulders, and felt it was no big deal.

“Yes how about you go to physical therapy tomorrow, and the other day after that what should I tell her?” He asked, I don't think I'll ever think about it.

“As of you only.” I then waved at the two girls as they walked back towards us.
