WARRIOR'S LOVE (M/G SS)PART 3-page 7 - Page 2

~~~PART TWO~~~

"Well I don't see what the big deal is!" Dev sighed disapprovingly. "He's just some army bum!"

"What makes him an army bum?" I asked.

"Well…it could be that fact that he's dressed already for the army." Dev said laughing and nudging his friends.

"That makes him a bum how?" Rajji asked, eating one of Yash's fries. He didn't even seem to mind, which shocked me somewhat.

"Well…in my opinion. The guys who join the army are bums, who know that they don't stand a chance with the beautiful girls back at home." Both Rajji and I laughed out loud at this.

"Is that right?" I asked.

"You think you stand a chance…with US?" Rajji laughed and all of their faces dropped.

"Maybe with Sasha…" I said and then regretted it from the look on Rajji's face. "Besides didn't you go on and on about joining the army just two months ago?" I said changing the subject.

"Yea…well…I decided not too." He shrugged.

"He got declined." Yash said. "He's got some lung disease called…what's it called?" He looked at Brad.

"Cystic Fibrosis." Rohan added. Dev looked murderous. I noticed Sasha coming back to the table and my manager giving me a look that said I had lingered too long and took this opportunity to leave. I smiled at my sister and went back to the counter.

"Have a nice chat Geet?"Geetanjali, a big woman in her mid 40's, asked me. She wasn't a mean woman but she didn't take any shenanigans from anybody. She made sure that people called me Geet instead of Geetanjali and that way we wouldn't get our names mixed up.

"Sorry geetanjali. It's my sister." I shrugged.

"What did you do to that other girl?" She asked wiping down the counter, not really interested.

"I spilt a bit of her drink on the table and it dripped on to her shirt." I shrugged and leaned on my elbows.

"Well there's a young man at that table over there, who's been waiting almost 10 minutes." She nodded to the one that had come in before I spilt the pop, and the one that Rajji had pointed to.

"He's not in my section." I said.

"He is now." She nudged me forward, dismissing me.

I walked up to the booth and flipped to a new page in my note pad. I smiled brightly and said my usual "What can I get for you." But when I looked down the most beautiful green eyes were staring back at me. They were striking, taking my breath almost instantly, yet they were sad and there was something else too them.

"I guess I would like a glass of water." He sighed.

"Water? That's it?" I said before I could stop myself. He looked up and laughed slightly before shrugging.

"Have to save all the money I can." He looked miserable and now I felt terrible. I had the sudden urge to cheer him up and the only think I could think of was a coca cola.

"How about I get your something to drink and we pretend that you paid for it." I smiled sweetly scribbling down a drink. He smiled back, a perfect smile with perfect white teeth. They were a little crooked but everyone needs a flaw now and then.

"Thanks. I'll pay for it." He said, but I waved it away and went to get his drink. I was stopped along the way by an older couple who wanted to have more tea and and extra tea biscuit. So I got them their tea and biscuit and brought Rajji her sandwich. She gave me thumbs up and I smiled back. I stopped smiling when I noticed Yash's hand casually resting on the back of Rajji's seat. I gave him a warning look and his arm dropped suddenly. I turned and finally brought the man his drink.

"Thanks." He said.

"So you signed up?" I felt stupid for asking the obvious question. He nodded, studying the bubbles in his drink. Just then Sasha let out the most annoying, high pitch girly laugh you could ever imagine. Everyone looked over at her and she had her hand resting on Dev's arm. She looked at me and gave me a smile filled with venom. Rajji was looking at her curiously, not exactly sure what was wrong with her. She turned to me and shrugged, then looked at the soldier and smiled.

"Your sister I presume?" He asked and I smiled.

"Easy to tell huh?"

"You do have a similar resemblance." He nodded.

"We look almost the exact same." I laughed and he looked puzzled.

"Really? I notice your hair is the same shade and your eyes twinkle the same way when you laugh, but her cheeks are rounder than yours, and more pink and your lips are smaller yet fuller than hers." He looked at me straight in the eyes and I was shocked. "You're eyes are more like the ocean than hers are." I gaped at him, I know I must have looked like a fool, but I didn't know what else to do.

"Uh…you notice that much about everybody?" I managed to ask. He shrugged and studied his cup again. He didn't look at me again, just at the cup.

"Well…if you need anything, just let me know. My name's Geet." I said casually. He smiled at me and nodded his head, not saying another word. I started to walk away when he slowly grabbed my hand. His hand was warm and rough. It was the hand of a working man, someone who had been working in a factory or a field for a long time. But he didn't look that old. I felt my heart skip at his touch and I looked down at my hand. He let go and that's when I looked into his face.

"Geet?" he said, testing my name on his tongue. "Geet, would you mind sitting with me?" He asked me shyly and I was shocked. Someone who looked like him…you would expect them to be overly confident like Dev was. But maybe it was his humbleness that made him so attractive. I smiled down at him.

"Well I cant right now…" I said looking for Sue and noticing that she was giving me that look again. Today was not a good day. He looked disappointed. "But listen I'm off in an hour. And I know somewhere that we can go."

Rajji left half an hour before my shift ended. She was going to hang around but I told her that I was staying on an extra 20 minutes and she didn't want to sit in the caf by herself and wait for me. I didn't blame her. I wouldn't want to wait either. When it was time for me to go home I went into the back room and fixed my ponytail and bow.

I walked out and put the 50 cents into the till for the soldiers drink and then went to meet him. He looked up in a daze and then smiled. He grabbed his duffle bag and slung it over his shoulder as we walked out of the caf. He didn't say a word as we walked, he just followed in a gloomy silence. So I started to think about things that we could talk about. I asked him if he liked to play sports and he said "Soccer". I asked him if he was still in school and he said… "No." So I gave up trying. Here I was giving up my free time to a complete stranger.

By the time we got the pier I was a bit miffed. I looked around and noticed that people were playing with their kids in the water, or couples were having picnics, or playing anti-war music on their guitars. I listened to the sound of the ocean and the sea birds and completely relaxed. Even though we were walking, I shut my eyes for a brief moment and just listened to the sounds. I could hear a ship in the distance and the wind in the air. Then my hand went warm. I opened my eyes and noticed that my new friend had grabbed my hand, like it was normal. But the strange thing about it was that it felt normal.

He looked back at me, to see if I was ok with him holding my hand and I smiled brightly. I didn't mind, although if my mother saw she would complain for ages. We walked silently watching all the people around us. A little boy ran up to me and gave me a white daisy that he had picked. He had been giving them to everyone, but he was just so cute that you immediately smiled down at him.

"I always wanted kids." He said. I jumped at the sound of his voice and he smiled slightly.
