Ghost - Elmax

Chapter 45 : Hard day

The two girls came back exhausted from their weekend. They collapsed on their couch, decided to not move anymore, but, apparently, someone didn't want them to take a break. They heard knocks at the door, sighed, and then, Max stood to open it. Abigail quickly entered, with Cat and his stuff in her arms, but, more importantly, the newspaper. She put the cat's stuff on the ground before showing the paper to Jane. The brunette frowned and looked where Abigail was showing. It was a small article, not important for the readers, except some...

- "No way!" exclaimed Jane with her eyes wide opened.

- "What?" frowned Max.

- "He is struck off!"

- "What? Who?"

- "Daniel! He can't be a military anymore!"

- "What!?"

Max quickly sat next to Jane before reading the newspapers. Apparently, someone sent all the proofs to the chief of the Army who decided to take charge of his case by definitely firing him from the Army.

- "It's good news, right?" asked Max.

- "Um, yeah! It's kinda justice!" answered Jane. "He won't betray anyone again! I just wonder who sent the evidence."

- "Certainly someone close to you, it's not like if you showed everyone what you found!"

- "Yeah, I just hope I won't have problems, because it's definitely not me!"

- "They know it's not you," intervened Abigail. "Moussa told me that, if it was you, everybody would know, but this, it was anonymous, you're not the kind to stay anonymous."

- "Okay, that's great then!" smiled the brunette.

Max saw nothing great in this; if Daniel thought it was Jane, he could try to get revenge and assault her. Jane noticed her girlfriend's worry and lost her smile. She put the newspaper on the coffee table and wrapped her arm around her with a reassuring smile. Max had a weak smile and put her head on her shoulder, not wanting to talk about it. Abigail didn't want to bother them more, so she took the newspapers and left the apartment.

- "It's over, relax," said softly Jane.

- "For you, yes, but him!? You don't know what he has in his mind! He could come back!"

- "He won't, he moved to Seattle, it was written in the article."

- "You're sure?"

- "More than sure, it was written at the end. If you have doubts, you can ask Abigail to bring it back, it's fine."

- "Yeah, I believe you," told Max.

- "I know, you'll still check it, to be really sure."

- "...Maybe."

The two girls had small chuckles. They stood and brought their luggage to their room to unpack them. They were so tired that they didn't have the force to unpack everything, preferring taking showers and laying down in bed, doing nothing.

- "It was an amazing weekend," stated Max.

- "Yeah? You liked it?" mumbled Jane, her face in her pillow.

- "If I liked it!? Jane! I loved it! I wish we could go more often in weekend like that!"

- "Cool, I'm glad you had a good time."

- "I always have good times with you."

- "That's cheesy, I love it."

- "I know."

Max got her face closer to Jane's, touching each other's noses. The redhead grabbed Jane's arm and placed it on her belly to caress it. Jane closed her eyes and didn't need a lot of time to fall asleep. Max felt her eyelids getting heavier and heavier, and decided to not fight against her tiredness.
