Summary; A single mom in the military, my story. My country and my child, my life. The military and my daughters father, the two sources of all my life's drama.
At graduation.
"Kusanaki!" the drill sergeant yelled.
"YES SIR!" I yelled back saluting my superior officer.
"Congratulations, you're being reassigned to the Fort Hamilton in New York."
"Thank You, Sir!"
"Kusanaki! Dismissed!" He smiled.
I smiled and walked off the other side of the stage. When I was out of view I squealed with excitement.
"Mey!" My best friend Katherine ran towards me.
"Kat!"
Katherine had signed up with me while we were still in high school, my entire life I had wanted to serve my country just as my father had. Only when I got released I wasn't going to turn to alcohol to fill my time. That was made me lose respect for my old man.
"Hey none of us have to be at our posts for about a year, you included right?"
"Yea? So what's your point?"
"Me, Becca, Matt and Rob are going to go celebrate! Wanna come?"
"What the hell why not?" I laughed.
We all agreed to meet at my house at 4 that evening. Meaning I had only 2 hours to get ready! I got home with minimal speeding, by that time I had maybe an hour. I hurried into the shower and washed up, afterwards I had just wrapped myself in a towel when I heard the doorbell of my tiny apartment. I walked out front and cracked open the door when I saw Kat, Becca, and the two men behind them.
"How did you guys get ready so fast?!" I opened the door revealing my towel wrapped body.
"Maybe because we all live closer to the base and also we don't spend 30 minutes in the shower!" Becca laughed.
"Shutthefuckup." I smooshed it all together so it would all come out quickly.
"Not nice seniorita," the brunette male spoke with a thick Italian accent.
I laughed, "What? I wasn't even talking to you Rob."
"That's not what I'm talking about," he looked at my towel then back at me.
"You know you're lucky you two are gay or else I'd have to hit you."
"That's not fair you know I'm bi!" Matt yelled, the blonde pouting.
"Shut it," I chuckled while walking towards my room.
"Mey! No need! I got you a dress out of my closet!" Kat smiled.
"Oh god please don't make me look like a slut!" I laughed as her jaw dropped.
"Wow, low blow Mey!" she said pushing me towards my bedroom.
Once in she pulled out a little, sky blue dress. It ended up being tight-fitting party dress that stopped at high thigh and had a V Cut to mid-stomach.
"Holy shit girl! You. Look. Hot! Come on!" she pulled me out and showed the men and Becca.
"How about instead of standing here looking at me we all go out and celebrate our graduation?!" I suggested and we all piled in Kat's car.
When we got there everyone was asking me to dance each one I rejected, but I did get quite a few margaritas and jack and cokes in me from one guy after his umpeeth time I finally gave in and let him dance with me. After a couple more margaritas my mind went blank.
Woohoo for a new story! Don't know where this will lead but I shall keep going! Hopefully this will come out ok.
