Price led us to the heli handing platform in front of the base, his steps were faster than usual. Was that recruit so important? It's not like we never had a recruit before. I looked around, my skull mask covering my face , blond hair, and scars. My eyeblack kept anyone from seeing anything else than my eyes. I looked around, it was cloudy outside but with few rays of sun. After a few seconds, the dark green chopper landed, I narrowed my eyes at the sight of the chopper doors opening. A tall muscular woman stepped out of it, followed by a shorther woman with blond hair that were tied up in a bun, Kate Laswell. The tall woman had long white braided hair, like an albino, she wore a black uniform. Like darker than mine, she wore a kind of long sleeves shirt with a dark blue cargo top on top of it, a black tactical vest that didn't seemed to fit her, it was probably a male one. Probably.
I turned my head ever so slightly to the sight of Gaz and Soap being shocked of who they're seeing. I think we were all expecting a man of sort, not a woman built like a motherfuckin' wall. She was almost as tall as me! And that woman wore everything that could cover her skin, a mask, gloves, long sleeves, long pants and even a hood. The only thing I could see from far away was a small part of white rosed skin tone, and... Violet eyes? Fuckin' hell..

Capt stepped up first, extanding his hand towards the woman, my eyes fell onto her black gloved hand. I saw those muscle flex under her uniform... 

Ghost what the fuck? Get your mind right!

Damn... She got an ass-...


At the same moment I thought about that, Soap looked at me with a confused face. Did he heard? Fuck it. His stare was confused but quickly shook it off and continued drooling to the sight of an army woman that was taller than him.


Price talked with the woman, she wasn't talking, or she was but I didn't heard because of her mask. I noticed her bag, it was neatly placed onto her back. It was a simple dark blue military kind of bag, matching her uniform, there was a maple leaf pin on it as well. Canadian military insigna on the bag too? She must be canadian. 
When I looked up to see more of her features, I saw her violet eyes narrowing with my brown ones, my heart immediately skipped a beat. Her grip on her bag tightened, as mine did on my dark grey tactical vest. It was like the time stopped for 45 seconds, her violet eyes absorbed every cells of my body, I haven't felt that feeling in so long. I could feel myself blushing under my mask. But since everything has an end, that moment was interrupted by Gaz elbowing me back to my common senses, I saw her eyes moving to inspect Gaz and Soap with better details. I heard them present themselves but I couldn't say anything, I was lost in her beautiful violet eyes...
What the fuck am I thinking about? She's a bloody recruit!
Her hair was braided into one, she had messy strands of hair that gave her a kind of messy bangs, she was hella pretty with those. I was being a fuckin' creep. When Laswell and Price started leading us inside the base to give the recruit a tour, I couldn't kept my gaze away from her, even if I didn't knew who this woman's name was. That's when I noticed her look at me with a neutral look, that woman, she was as cold as I am normally. Normally...

We kept walking, Price often explained the use of everything in the base, but I was sure she already knew how to use those. However, I was struggling to focus on something else than that woman. I never thought a woman could be such in an high rank in the military, plus the fact that the woman in question was the prettiest thing I've ever seen.

As I continued fantasizing, I felt a nudge on my forearm, Laswell was nudging me with a 'are you serious?' expression. Was I so obvious? Fuck!

Laswell's eyes were fixated on mine, she gave me a harsh nod, probably angry at me for hitting on the new recruit. But she was somehow attractive, that way she sways when she walks? That has me under control, but she was still a recruit. A poor Private.

After some time all of us finally reached the mess hall and went our ways, the recruit remained silent and still until further orders. I admired that. Price gave Laswell a gentle nod before leading the Private to her own chamber. I wanted to follow so bad, but instead, I followed Soap and Gaz back to the kitchen where we would usually have our 'little army talks'. Even though I was never actually responding verbally. 
Soap and Gaz sat at the table and started talking about the fact taht the new recruit was in fact a woman. They seemed really confused, probably as confused as I am.
When Soap mentioned her beauty, I felt a fire starting up through my guts, I swear I've never felt that before. She was pretty for sure, but why was I feeling so angry towards him? 
Fuck I wanted bloody answers. I'm so tired and the only started.

What in the bloody hell is happenin' with me?
