Chapter 8

Vulkan

I wanted to spend the day in bed with Jennifer but unfortunately, I had to go out and work on training with the other warriors. Since they count on me to make sure that everyone is prepared for what would come next, I don't have much of a choice and I have to do everything to make sure everyone is prepared for what might come next. I couldn't be entirely certain about what would come from it, but I do know that there is no way in hell that I'm going to allow it to turn around and do anything that I'm not comfortable with.

I easily take down my opponents, showing them how it is done but I never show mercy and I never hold back. I make sure that they know that the people who might attack won't either and it is up to them to try to fight and make sure that they win. I understand when things happen, and I know that sometimes things don't work out the way that we need it to, but I do know there is no way that I'm going to hold back for much longer.

I see how she looks at me and I know there is only so much that I'm going to be able to do. My stomach is churning with nerves, debating on what I'm going to do next, but I do know what I want, and I know what I need. My mind keeps wandering back to Jennifer and I wish that we were in bed together. I know how ridiculous it might sound but I am so in love with her and there's no way that I'm going to hide it from her.

I have been trying to give her space because I need her to process his death and that she needs to be able to move on. I think that she wasn't able to move on from Troy's death because unfortunately, it did become clear that his death was due to the fact that someone had killed him because he was an alien. It made me a bit sick to my stomach to know that he died in that sort of way, and I wish that I had been here to protect him, but I know that I am going to keep Jennifer safe.

That much I can promise him.

I pin my next opponent, making him submit. I just have to do it this way because I know there is no way that they would respect me if I kept pushing the buttons too much. I know what I have gone through, and I know there is no way in hell that I'm going to be able to keep going like this. I see how everyone is looking at me, knowing that I'm a warrior and I have to do this.

"Sir, someone is here for you." One of the other warriors murmurs, making me look at him, "I think her name is Jennifer?"

I'm more than just a little confused because I had no sure about what was going to happen. I walk towards the area since the training field is huge and that's when I see Jennifer waiting for me. A few warriors are glancing over at her, obviously interested but they immediately back down when they see me heading her way. I wouldn't want to have to kill anyone who dared to approach her, seeing how she was looking at me like I'm the best person in the world.

Like she likes me.

"Hey, what are you doing here?" I ask her softly, raising an eyebrow because I couldn't be certain about what is happening here, "are you okay?"

She nods slowly, "Yeah, I just wanted to come and see you… I missed you."

My heart practically skipped a beat, and I couldn't be certain about what she was saying to me right now, "Oh… I missed you, too."

It feels like she is flirting a little bit, but I don't want to get my hopes up. I really like her, and I wish that she would feel more towards me, but I also know there is no way that she is going to be able to do something to me because she doesn't like me like that. At least I don't believe that she likes me at least…

"I have something to tell you." She murmurs, gazing up at me with those beautiful eyes and sending a shiver down my spine, "and I don't know how to say this. I don't know what I want but I do know that there's no way that I can hide this from you… I had a dream and Troy was in it."

I'm a bit confused because I couldn't be sure what was going to happen from there, "huh? What do you mean?"

"I don't know if it was just a dream, but he told me to be happy and that if it is with you, then he would be okay with it because you would make me happy." She explains to me, making my heart skip a beat, "and I have to agree. I do like you, Vulkan, and although I'm not sure about what I want, I do know that I want to be someone like you… I like you so much and I want to be with you… If you'll have me."

I don't know what to say, more than just a little surprised because I couldn't be certain about what would come from it. I'm a bit nervous, feeling like I'm going a bit crazy. I move closer and I kiss her, not even caring that we are being stared at. I don't care what they have to say, knowing that I have to do everything in my power and I'm aching for her in ways that I can't hold back any longer.
