SITA
Just one week and we already forgot we were ever attacked by bandits. A close source said the army was after them, while some claimed they had moved their operation to the farther districts because a mysterious person killed their men near the old school.
To me, it was amusing, how the bandits were such big sons of cowardice himself. If they were clever, they could have come in search of the mysterious person that killed their men, so, I would have the chance to decrease their numbers the more.
"Hey," came David Freeman, "Miss, I've got a question for you."
"Go on, ask," I said.
I was standing by the net fence, watching the patients who had healed from their problems after being treated by the medical team for nearly two weeks.
"The doctors started a thing called the doctor's mess, and I want to be part of it, but they said the criteria is make sure you are a doctor and make sure you have a woman in or outside the camp." He said with a calm tone, like it was nothing telling me about the silly doctors' mess I heard was started by the director of medical and surgical affairs and his colleagues.
"So?" I asked.
"Look at these ladies in this camp and tell me which of them would be good for me." He uttered.
I looked around the camp. I was well aware that many of the ladies and men here were beginning to bond, just like I was beginning to bond with Alessandro, but the big issue with Alessandro was the fact that he was yet to come open, yet I wasn't sad because he already shared the story of his past with me.
He dated a beautiful lady in America who dumped him for good. The pain is still hiding somewhere in his mind, but I keep praying knowing I will purge his mind of such ugly memories.
"I don't know who would suit you, David." I replied, "Just talk to one of them and see how it goes."
"Come on, don't be stingy with suggestions," he whispered, "I heard your assistant is back."
I smiled, the poor girls and a few of those who fled after the bandit attack returned three days after they fled, and David seemed to have fallen for her sweet aura and gentle demeanor.
"She is a lady and has the will of her own, so, I suggest you first talk to her, she might consider you," I said casually and focused on the sweet sight before me.
"Guess you should help me talk to her, that will make the job a lot easier." He added.
"Then, we should strike a deal." I turned to face him with my hands folded against my chest. "Do you wish to strike a deal?"
He nodded a yes. He was more serious than I anticipated. "What's the deal?" he asked.
"You handle three more patients before you leave," I said; I heard his stay in our country was over and he would soon return to New York, maybe never to return to us again.
"Three more surgeries?" he asked.
"In exchange for the lady you want for the so-called doctors' mess." I snapped.
"Deal."

"Did you hear about the doctors' mess?" Alessandro asked the very moment he checked in at my place. "I was invited long ago but I didn't take it seriously because I didn't have a woman to flaunt there, but now I have a woman, I decided to accept the invitation."
I smiled and turned to him. I was lying in bed when he checked in. he was the only one in the camp who could walk into my room however and whenever he liked, but he knocked tonight before walking in to meet me half-naked in bed.
"And who is the woman you speak of?" I asked playfully.
"She is no other person but the lady lying right before me on this bed." He sat on the wooden sofa in my room and crossed his legs. I liked seeing him sit that way. I had done the good of taking pictures of him sitting that way, but I liked watching him with bare eyes.
"What if your woman says no?" I asked.
He grinned and snapped his fingers. "Then, I will stay back in here and make love to her if only she wouldn't moan loudly and lose her mind during orgasm."
I laughed. He was right, I lost my mind a bit to the last orgasm, and once it happened, I became limp and useless in bed, so useless that I'll lie that way till the whole thing was over, sometimes, I slept off after an orgasm and woke up the next day.
"Well, I figured out a way to keep my voice down when we make out." I sat up. "If I put a plastic ball in my mouth and turn the radio to the highest volume.
"Nice idea, we will make love on Friday night, after the doctors' mess party." He said and relaxed on the seat. "Come on, I want to watch you sleep."
"I want you in bed with me," I replied.
He smiled and rose to his feet. "I got work to do out there, sleep tight."
He blew me a kiss and left. Such an odd way of leaving a horny lady's room.

The doctors' mess night fell on the last Friday of our stay in the camp. I chose a nice dress for the night, knowing fully well that Alessandro would find something charming, too.
On the other hand, was my assistant, she had been booked by David who had done the three surgeries deal we struck in exchange for my personal assistant's heart.
Yes, I spoke to her and urged her to accept the slim man, not because she loved him by the way, but because he was willing to make her his woman in the doctors' mess.
The mirror in my room hands the both of us stand before it. I had given her one of my clothes for the night party and she was looking sparkling in it.
"If I may ask, ma'am," she said while we stood by the mirror, "What do you plan to do with Doctor Alessandro, he is leaving our country soon."
"David would leave before him," I said in response.
"But he will still leave." She took a deep breath. "I worry for you, ma'am, just don't fall in love with him unless you will join him in his country."
She walked away without waiting for me to speak my piece. She wasn't here to debate facts.
My phone buzzed in my bag. No one had called me since we arrived here, but now, my phone was buzzing all of a sudden.
I made for it and fished it out of my bag. It was my family line. I clicked in and the voice of a maid came forth.
"Your mother is gravely ill; she needs you as soon as possible."
