Mysterious Raphael
1691 Words
Inside the CH-47 Chinook, Michael looked at the girls who were bewildered at their surroundings, some of them are disturbed by the rotors above and others are peering through the window.
If this was their first time boarding a helicopter, modern transportation for the military, then they are very lucky.
Meanwhile, besides Michael, is Raphael, things are tense between them after he witnesses Raphael committing suicide in front of her thinking that she has no value, but the truth is, Raphael is one of the most valuable people to Michael.
…
Arriving at Willow Town, Michael, paramedics are already in place where they will bring the seven girls and the knight to the hospital.
Before he could leave, two-person standing beside him called his name.
“Sir Michael...I’m really sorry for the trouble we’ve had. Please forgive us.” Talon said as he bows his head.
“Yes, Sir Michael. It was truly careless of ours not to notice the wind pressure. We’re very sorry for the troubles.”
Seeing their sincere apology, Michael smiled and walked forward and laid each of his hands onto their shoulder.
“Don’t worry about it, we’re not perfect, everyone makes mistakes. I forgive you. Thank you for the brief adventurer we had. For that, I will give you a new Chinook helicopter...so don’t feel bad.”
Michael earnestly said. Both pilots opened their mouths dumbfoundedly.
“Sir hearing you say that makes me wanna cry,” Tarone said.
“Me too, Sir!” Talon said.
“Oi...please stop it—”
A thunderous explosion that occurred from the horizon, shakes the earth.
“Are the artillery bombardments still commencing?”
“How long are they doing that?”
Michael checked his watch, the first he heard the first salvo is at 2350 HRS, the time now is 0330 HRS.
“They are bombing that place for three hours.” Ernest lifts his head to the side, imagining the battleships firing their artillery.
“Well, have some R and R boys. You deserved it for coming along with me despite our perilous situation earlier.”
“Yes sir!”
Then the two leave, heading for their barracks. Michael decided to take some rest at his residence.
…
Eight hours have passed. Michael immediately got up from his bed, took a bath, donned his military uniform, grabbed a slice of bread and tucked it in his mouth, and headed straight to the oval office.
Arriving at his office door, Michael saw Raphael sitting behind the desk as if she owned this place.
She was arranging some files stacked on his desk.
“Good morning Raphael,” Michael said as he removed his coat and hung it to the coat rack.
Gnawing his piece of bread, he walked to the side where Raphael was.
“Can you please get out of my seat...that’s your superior chair.”
Raphael didn’t reply but stood up, complying with his orders.
Michael on the other hand feels something strange about Raphael’s behavior.
But there’s no time to think, there’s a stack of work waiting for him to see.
Then he saw Raphael heading for the door and purposely shut the door and turned her attention to Michael. Ignoring her regular perche at either Michael's desk or the window, she drew close to him. Grasping his shoulder and leaning in to speak, she stood so close that strands of her hair trickled his face. He felt his heart beating violently at the sight of her bright eyes, and soft, red lips.
Eh? What’s going on? Is she asking for it in broad daylight?
“Nee...Michael...I’m sorry for the things I had done for you ever since I was summoned...please...I’ll let you do me if you forgive me…”
Breathing heavily, Michael can feel her warm breath hitting his face. Those are the words that he expected but the last part makes him quite guilty…
Michael pushed her… “Raphael, what do you think you’re doing? We’re in the middle of work you know...is my forgiveness enough for you to stop? Then I’ll forgive you...so please get out of my lap—ehhh.”
“No...your words are not enough, I need to give you something…”
This is bad...her beautiful face and perfect body is making his male instincts kick in.
“Mi-chael...are you not aroused at me? Am I not really beautiful in your sight…”
What gives you that idea? Of course, you’re beautiful… Those are the words he wants to say but it looks appropriate when he said that as her superior.
“Hey?”
She said with deep breaths as she touched him through his trouser.
“Hey...cut it out…”
“Not until you answer me.”
Raphael looked at him directly in the eye as she ran a finger across his trousers.
“Do I excite you?” She said as she slowly placed a finger on the band of his trousers.
She would only need to touch that and she would know the answer to her question. Despite being a renowned soldier from his past world, he's not thick-skinned enough that he wouldn’t react to the slightest when pressed by a pair of voluptuous breasts and appealed to in such a way by a woman.
In other words, his lower half was in ‘that state’.
With a heavy sigh, Michael grabbed Raphael’s hand that was on his trousers.
“Of course...I don’t think that there’s a man out there that wouldn’t be.”
Hearing his answer, Raphael’s face suddenly flushed red. She quickly turned away from him.
“What’s the point of getting embarrassed now? Quit screwing around already.”
“S-, Sorry…”
“And get away from me already, before I file a report…”
“O-Okay…”
Raphael stepped back away from him. Then, after a moment of hesitation during which she cast her eyes relentlessly about, she crossed her arms to hide her breast, her face already flushed.
“Raphael I’ll forget everything that happened here but if you, in the future, do that again. I’ll promise you…”
“O, Okay I know it.” She said shyly.
“You know that we’re not close enough to do that thing right? Besides you should do it to the man you love not to the one you’re working for.” He said.
“...” She was speechless.
“Okay...please if you have anything to report please do it...you’ve already wasted two minutes of my time…”
“Yes sir…” She returned to her work mode as if nothing happened.
“The bombardment of the breeding grounds is still in place, 73% of the monsters there were already exterminated and will be done tonight, the Ocean Fleet found a probable oil site four hundred kilometers off our shore. Also, there is a newly discovered island 800 kilometers off our shore.”
“I see...are they inhabited? If not I’ll want to set up naval bases there to support the oceanography survey for prospecting oil.”
But Raphael shook her head...indicating that the islands are already inhabited.
“I see, then what about the agricultural sector?” Michael grabbed one file that has the title of ‘Agricultural Land’.
“Our geologist conducted a search of arable lands in our territory and they found 28% of our land is arable.”
“28 percent? That’s big enough...Okay, what about the industrial sector?”
“According to Anna, the main income of this town comes from mining iron and other metals. Our team prospected on the site called ‘Willow Mining Site’ and found a lot of iron reserves there, not only that, but they also found a lot of metals hidden in that mountain. The team reported that they will set up mining facilities there so that they can start mining when the winter ends.”
“Okay, as for the seven girls and the knight we captured?”
“Their wounds are already treated but there is one girl there who needs to see a psychiatrist.”
“F*CK that knight. Make sure that he will be transferred to our prison and drain every information that we’re still lacking.”
“Yes sir…” She continued, “For the last report, the Department of Intelligence wants you to give them a sign about educating all our troops to learn the language of this world.”
“Interesting...where’s the file?”
“In there, sir.” She pointed.
Michael reads the content and after reading it, he immediately signs it.
“Thank you sir...that’s all for today.” Raphael bows and turned to her heels.
As she walked through the door, she felt something holding her arm. She turned around and saw Michael…
“Uhm...sir? Is there anything you would like to ask?” She said bashfully.
“I forgive you...but promise me that you will never do that again...it made me feel pain in my heart...know that you’re important to me...don’t think of yourself as an insignificant individual...Okay, you may now go.”
Leaving the oval office, Raphael stopped and rest her back on the wall, tightly hugging a lot of files in her hand.
“What is he thinking?... Why is he acting so nice? Where’s that angry look of him yesterday? Moah…” She squirmed…
“Also...me seducing him is only because I asked someone how to make a man fall for you. It’s not like I wanted it...but why do I feel warm back there?”
