The General Who Hates Me 15 Tomboy

"It's okay, let's check on Auntie first," Zach replied, as they walked out of the elevator and rushed to Cielo's condo unit, which was just next to Torin's.

"Oh, you're fast," Cielo said as soon as she saw Torin. Then, she gestured the two to go inside.

"I was behind her. She was almost near your door when she suddenly collapsed. She felt dizzy because her blood pressure went up. But she's fine now." Cielo explained as they walked towards Torin's mom who was laying on the sofa with closed eyes.

"She has brought a lot of stuff for you," Cielo added and pointed at her dining table.

"Geez, I've told her to call me first if she wants to visit," Torin murmured.

Cielo smiled, patted his shoulder and said, "Let her rest first and let's check what she has prepared for you. I'm sure she went out in a rush while your father was not around."

Torin did not comment but picked up his mom and transferred her to one of the spare rooms of Cielo's condo.

He had some issues going on with his father. He was disowned by his father, but his mother kept on sneaking out of their home to check on him from time to time.

Zach walked to Cielo's dining area and asked, "When did you arrive?"

Cielo grinned and said, "Just now. Luckily I saw Auntie… I think she did not take her medicine before leaving in a rush."

Cielo was also a soldier at the same rank with Torin, a Lieutenant under General Jeru's command. She was good-looking, but a scary person on top of that, so everyone was even afraid to hit on her.

Torin often said that she was not a woman but a man. He often teased Cielo, saying that she was someone who preferred to have a woman, instead of being with a man.

"Wow, Auntie's cooking is the best!" Cielo exclaimed with excitement, as Zach opened the food containers.

Torin joined them as they decided to dig in the food that his mom had prepared.

Zach was enjoying the food when he suddenly remembered the Field Marshal's daughter, whom he met in a very awkward way, that day once more.

Then, out of the blue, Zach suddenly chuckled, which made Cielo and Torin look at each other dumbfounded.

"What's going on?" Torin asked with an arched eyebrow.

"Oh, nothing. I just remembered something funny," Zach said simply as he grinned.

"The heck… It's the first time I've ever seen you grin like that. Torin, what was going on while I was away? Did he get himself a girl this time? Because only that can explain the out of the blue weird expression on his face." Cielo asked Torin, her forehead creased.

"Bro, you've got a woman?" Torin asked Zach.

"You two stop it and eat… It's nothing, just something funny that has happened before." Zach hissed, as he returned to his serious face.

The two no longer insisted because they knew Zach well. They would just waste their efforts for nothing.

"By the way, Cielo… Zach is not helping me out. Maybe you can convince Jeru instead. I've heard he will also be in charge of choosing newcomers for our base. Please tell him to let, at least, one gorgeous woman to pass!" Torin pleaded, changing the topic.

"What, Torin? Are you that desperate now?!" Cielo burst out in a fit of laughter.

"Well, you're the only passable woman to my taste so far, but too bad you're a tomboy…" Torin said with a teasing tone.

Cielo arched an eyebrow and with her seductive eyes glared at Torin, "Well, if all the men are like you, I would rather die as an old maid. Geez, you hit on almost all the girls inside the base, including me. What an asshole."

"I told him that I will make sure to choose masculine women, someone who can knock him down," Zach interrupted as he joined the two.

"Yeah, I will also convince Gen. Jeru to do the same…" Cielo seconded.

"You two, don't eat this. You're not allowed to get food from what my mother has prepared for me. Stop eating!!!" Torin exclaimed as he closed all the boxes, preventing Zach and Cielo from getting more.

"You're conspiring together and maltreating your good friend. I will not give you any more of my food." Torin continued, acting like a child throwing a tantrum, which made Cielo laugh again.

"Good friend or you mean playboy friend? Alright, playboy… how about I tell you a secret that I've heard inside the base…?" Cielo asked with a grin.

"Is it an interesting secret that involves beauties, because if not… You need to spill-out all the food you just ate," Torin answered with annoyance.

"I've accidentally heard Jeru and Janus talking. I'm not sure if I've heard right, but it seems like Jeru is planning to get Field Marshal's daughter to be his girlfriend…" Cielo said as she gently pulled one of the food containers and tried to open it, but Torin quickly stopped her.

"Hephep… Stop… what nonsense is that? Do you think that's interesting enough?" Torin said with a twisted face…

"Haha… impatient playboy. Let me finish first… So, what I've heard next is the real shocking part… The Field Marshal's daughter is…" Cielo hung on her words and looked intently at Torin.

"You do know that his daughter is considered a Goddess when it comes to beauty, right?" Cielo asked and Torin nodded as his impatience grew more.

"Okay, then let me and Zach get some food first. I'm starving and I need some energy to recall what I've heard." Cielo said with a wicked grin. Torin scratched his head because he felt a little overpowered by Cielo but he was eager to know it.

He let go off the food container. With a crumpled face, he watched the two dig in the food like they've been starved for a few days...
