Chapter 165: New recruit
It was Tuesday, and Jack was walking across the quad, headed to meet Robin for lunch.
He was barely a third of the way across when he heard a high-pitched voice say, "Hi! Um, can I talk with you while you walk?"
He turned and saw it was the ROTC girl from before, but instead of a uniform, she was wearing jeans, a T-shirt, and a light jacket.
Her expression was serious, and he didn’t see any signs of fervor or obsession.
"Sure, I can spare a few minutes. What did you want to talk about?"
"I keep replaying in my head the last time we talked, and I just can’t figure out why I said what I did. I thought it was a fluke, but when I saw you just a few moments ago, I felt the same thing."
"Hmm?"
"It... Um, I feel this inexplicable urge to call you sir. And at the same time I also feel this urge to offer myself to you. And not in a crude, spread my legs for you, kind of way, but as an offering."
He looked at her face. She was biting her bottom lip and looking at him pleadingly. She was hoping he could explain her reaction to him.
"I... I can’t get you out of my head. It... after meeting you, it’s like I discovered the missing part of my life. And I feel like a crazy person just saying that. Am I crazy?"
"No." Then teasingly, "Well, probably not."
She huffed cutely. "Seriously. Can you explain it?"
