Back on Baymard, the military class named ’Obstacle course’, was currently going on... and Gary was the teacher for today’s class.
"Come on, Keep up! Keep up!!" He commanded, as he tried to keep the ’military Privates’ motivated.
But even though he made sure to focus on everyone, he still found himself constantly looking at a certain little lamb the most.
Ruby was her name, and she was currently 17 years old.
This little lamb that came to Baymard in May, had made the 23 year old Gary feel his heart beat loudly whenever she was around him.
At first, he didn’t understand why he felt that way towards her.
Well... Gary was a typical blockhead when it came to romance.
He thought that a lot of women were beautiful... but he had never felt like he should engage romantically with anyone.... that is until a month ago, when he finally realized that he wanted her as his woman.
It took him 5 months to realize this fact.
When his little lamb came to Baymard, she was quiet and weaker than her current self.
But as time went on, her military skills had vastly improved.... and now, she could be seen as one of the top fighters in her batch.
Although he called her ’little lamb’, she didn’t possess the gentleness that a lamb usually portrayed.
She was stubborn, hard-headed, free spirited and very competitive.. and for some reason, she seemed to hate him with passion.
Before.... Gary used to think that only girls who were damsels in distress and weak, were what women should be like.
But ever since he had come to Baymard with Landon, he had quickly realised that he personally didn’t approve of women who waited for things to be handed over to them.
Women now had jobs, and could also fight better than a lot of soldiers within the army.
This showed that with proper training, women too could do what men did.
Hence his mindset had changed, and now... he liked girls like his little lamb.
If his little lamb was ever in danger, kidnapped or even abused.... he was sure that she would fight her attackers with all her strength, than wait around for someone to save her.
He was very sure that in situations like these, his little lamb would probably be able to escape on her own..... way before he showed up to save her.
It wasn’t just him.
Most men now liked girls who worked and brought in a certain amount of pay to aid in the running of their homes.
One could never be too certain of the future, so it was better for their wives to work.... in case something happened to them.
In that way, they would be sure that even if they died, their wives would still be able to move on with their lives.. and work steadily to take care of their children.
And of course, there were still others that liked girls who stayed at home and waited on them.
For every type of woman, there would always be a man for them.
"Private Ruby!!!....Keep up!
Why the hell are you so slow today?!!" Gary yelled out.
He had found out that he loved teasing his little lamb daily...if he found the time that is....hehehe.
Ruby looked at Gary and gritted her teeth in anger.
If he wasn’t her superior, she would have brawled with him right at this moment.
Everyone who had heard Gary, immediately giggled.
It seemed like Major General Gary, loved to tease his future wife.
Who didn’t know of their ’love’?
That guy was probably the only one who could make her friend feel like a love-struck 5 year old kid.
During August, Ava became annoyed at how long it took for Mark to ask her out... so she marched up to him, grabbed his shirt collar, and told him that:
[From now on, we were dating.
You are mine, and I am yours!...Is that clear General?]
The poor major general instantly smiled and nodded sheepishly.... from his face, one could see that his wish had finally come true as well.
As for her friend Yara, Captain Trey was already dating her.
Yara was like her, very shy and ridiculously awkward when it came to love.
Captain Trey wooed her constantly, and finally made her fall for him.
But in her case, the man she loved seemed to hate her completely.
.
The class ended and everyone got ready to leave.
"Private Ruby!!! Are you going somewhere?
You haven’t forgotten about your punishment, have you?" Gary asked with a charming smile on his face.
"No sir!" She replied in anger, while her friends were giggling at the back.
"Well..... I’ll leave you to it....lest I ruin your date..heheheh." Ava said while leaving.
"Hihihihi... Have fun Ru!!" Yara said while following behind Ava.
How was this considered a date?
"Private Ruby!.. You know the drill.
start running!" Gary said.
If eyes could kill, Gary would have been dead by now.
She grumbled while running, and Gary followed behind her silently.
Gary had always known that this little lamb of his was strong.... so he knew that in no time, she would be joining them for battle, which he didn’t want to happen.
In his mind, he had already made plans for her to stay within Baymard forever.
She could handle the cannons and other weapons during battles within Baymard.
But if there were battles out of Baymard, he wasn’t so sure that he would ever agree to such a thing.
Not only him... Even his friends Mark and Trey, had also said that they would never allow it as well.
He knew that she would greatly oppose his decision..... but so what? He was doing it for her own good.
She didn’t know it yet, but she was his everything.
And he would rather she hated him, than for her to loose her life outside on a mission.
"Alright private, you’ve successfully completed your punishment."
As Gary spoke, he moved closer to Ruby very slowly.
Her heart was pounding and her face was flushed red.
Gary stepped closer and lifted her chin gently.
"Private Ruby....
What do I do now?... it seems that I’m madly in love with you."
