My Navy Seal II: Undeniable Attraction

NICK

I can see that Nita is on the verge of crying maybe I should not have become so serious but I wanted her to see that I am really sorry. I know it wasn't my fault that I lost my memory but somehow I feel guilty. I start to caress her hand with my thumb.

"I didn't mean to make you cry. Please give me that beautiful smile of yours"

She starts to laugh at my words while wiping her tears and then she says.

"You better never do that to me again. Do you understand?"

"Yes, ma'am"

"Good. Now get some rest. I have to look after my patients. I am sure Kim is not far away"

I can not help but smile at her words because just the thought of having Kim back is enough to make me happy. We say our goodbyes and then she leaves the room. I have been thinking a lot about what I told Kim. I do not want to do the work that I do any longer.

I have served my country and I have given my best years to be the best that I can be for my country. But now I have found the love of my life and I intend to give the rest of my years to her. I do not want her to worry about me not coming back every time and I do not want to worry if I will survive this mission or not.

I have had nothing to lose all my years but now I have a lot to lose. Then I remember something very important, the Admiral must be worried and wondering where I am. I call for one of the nurses and ask them if they can call Vic for me.

After a little while, Vic shows his face and says.

"Master Chief Roberts, sir. You called for me?"

"Yes, I believe you were the one that found me?"

"Yes, sir"

"Then I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart"

I can see him frowning and I know why.

"Yes, I remember everything and with that, I would like you to please get me a radio so I can talk to the Admiral"

I can see him smiling because I can remember and I'm sure that the news will spread soon enough.

"Yes, sir"

He turns around and walks away. It's only a few minutes when he returns with the radio and then he leaves me again. I take a deep breath and then I call on the Admiral.

"It is so good to finally hear from you, Master Chief. I thought we have lost you and that really saddened my heart"

"Thank you, sir. That means a lot"

I start to tell him everything that happened and how it happened. When I tell him what happened when I couldn't remember it is as if I'm talking about somebody else's life. I do not recognize anything about that story the only thing that rings true is that my heart wanted to come back to Kim.

"...I am glad that you finally came back and everyone is safe. We have received intel that there was only one camp so you will be coming home soon. Some of the soldiers will stay there as the next base in that country but I will let you know who it will be"

"Yes, sir"

When I hear the Admiral saying that soldiers will stay behind, I can feel my heartbeat starting to raise. I know that I will not be one of them but I do not know if Kim would be one of them. The only way that she would not stay is if she quits and I know it's not a good thing to quit.

We say our goodbyes and then I lay down on my pillow just thinking about how am I going to go back and Kim is going to stay. I do not want to take away her dream as I remember how I also eagerly wanted to be deployed. I do not want her to regret the decisions that she makes because of me.

I can see that we are deep into the night already and I can feel how exhausted I am. I am not just physically exhausted but emotionally too. I do not want to go home if Kim is going to stay. I close my eyes trying to get some sort of peace from the thoughts running around in my mind.

KIM

I have finished checking up all my patients and I can see it is almost midnight. I wonder if Nick is sleeping and if I should go back to my tent to sleep for the night. I know that I need a lot of energy for tomorrow and Nick needs his sleep. But the thought of going alone back to my empty tent is just too much for me to handle.

Maybe I can just sneak into his room and sleep on the chair. I have done that many times before. I quickly make my way to his room and as I suspect his eyes are closed. So, I walk as slowly and softly as possible and make myself comfortable on the chair.

It's not as comfortable as if I would be sleeping in my tent but this is what home means to me. If Nick is not by my side then I am not home. If he's not here then I am not complete. I do not think that I would ever be able to survive without him next to me again. It was horrible just thinking that he is somewhere alone and I have to carry on with my everyday life without him.

Then I feel a hand on my leg and I open my eyes. I see that beautiful cocky smile of his and then he says.

"There is no way that the love of my life is sleeping on the chair while my arms are wide open for her to be comfortable in"

I smile back at him and then I say.

"Do you realize that you have broken ribs? You can not handle someone lying next to you, right now"

"Why don't you just let me make that decision?"

Of course, he is not going to take my advice. Did I expect anything less from him? I get in bed next to him as gently and softly as I can because it must be very painful to have broken ribs. I can see him wince just a little but he doesn't show me any pain.

"Now, isn't that much more comfortable?"

I feel his arm around my neck and his lips against my cheek.

"It is much more comfortable for me but what about you?"

He gives me another kiss and then he says to me.

"I think you should know by now that it doesn't matter where you lay next to me or on me, I am so comfortable with you around me"

I can not help but melt away in his arms and listen to his voice in my ear. That is what I was looking for these couple of days and now I can finally be there again. I smile and I kiss him on his lips making sure he knows how much I love you.

"I love you you know that?"

"I know but you know how much I love you right?"

"I know but it is good to hear it every so often"

We just bathe it in each other's touch and soon we fall asleep. It is not long after I have closed my eyes that I wake up again. I just want to make sure that he is indeed lying next to me. But when I turn to look at him he is staring at me.

"Why aren't you sleeping? You need your sleep"

"I know but...fuck, you are just too beautiful. How should I close my eyes when this beauty is laying right next to me?"

I give him a slight smile still sleepy and then I say to him.

"It is good to have you back"

"I am glad to be back"

"But why are you not sleeping...really?"

He falls back with his head on the pillow and then he sighs loudly.

"I guess I have something on my mind and it doesn't want to leave me alone"

I am certainly very intrigued about what it can be that is bothering him so much. So, I get up on my elbow and I say to him.

"I am here to listen. What is on your mind?"

"You know how I said that I am not going to leave you again?"

I can not help it smile at his words and then I say.

"I really can not forget that. So, to answer your question, yes I remember"

"Well I meant every word of it"

"I know that you will not leave my side"

"No, I do not think you understand"

He just stares at the ceiling of the tent. He doesn't look at me at all and then he says.

"What I meant is...I do not want to be a Navy Seal anymore..."
