Hello and welcome to Heart Of A Marine! I do hope you enjoy this book chapter one is pretty short but I needed to get things rolling and this is the best way.
Please comment and tell me what you guys think I love to hear from you all.
I was sitting outside outback watching the waves roll over the sand and go back out into the sand. I lived in a little house on the edge of town alone I loved being here, I was never good with dealing with people and so I only went to town when I needed too.
"Well, what are you doing out here?" I heard the deep gravely voice of my grandfather and behind him was someone I really didn't want to see anytime soon.
"Hey gramps, Hello Smoker" I said giving them both an easy smile even though i felt anything but easy. Smoker and me had a long hard past and him being here brought that all the the front of my mind.
"You staying out of trouble girl?" I heard grandpa say I tried not to roll my eyes at him thinking I was not as much trouble as my two little brothers.
"Of course! I'm not like your other two grandkids" I said pouring them both something to drink. I had no clue why either of them were here but I had a feeling they would get to the point once they got the greetings out of the way.
"Speaking of those take a look at these" gramps said handing me two wanted posters with luffy and ace on them I felt something close to Pride swell in my chest and put them on the side to put with the others. I had a whole book made just for them.
"So what can I do for you? I'm sure you didn't just show up because you missed me" I said giving him a cheeky smile grandps threw his head back and laughed before giving me the fist of love. I grabbed my head with tears in my eyes rubbing the big knot on top my head.
"Show some respect i'm your grandpa!" he said grabbing his drink Smoker sat to the side and didn't say anything his two cigars smoke filling up the porch before flying away in the breeze.
"Jeez alright" I said trying to get my head to stop throbbing
"Anyway I came here because I need your help, The navy has come upon something and they need the help of an outsider. I thought you would be perfect for the job" I nodded my head and leaned back in my chair giving my full attention to my grandfather
"Alright, give me the details and I will see if I can help" I said feeling like I was missing something
"This Idiot already said you would do it" Smoker finally spoke up his voice greeting my ears I sure did miss his voice.
"YOU DID WHAT!" I yelled standing up from my spot on the chair
How dare he!?
"I knew you would say yes and besides you are really the only one who could pull this off" he said leaning back in his chair my temper having no affect on him
"What is it? Hmm? It better not be something stupid" I said crossing my arms over my midsize chest.
"You and smoker have to pretend to be lovers and go undercover and get the information and save the people who have been taken by the threat" I felt my heart stop and my blood run cold.
Smoker and me used to be a couple a few years ago but it ended it badly and I really haven't had anything to do with him since. Now I find I will have to pretend to be his lover and go undercover. I know why he said I would it, he knew If i found out who was to be my pretend boyfriend I would say no unless someone else played the part.
"Why? Why would you say I would do this? An with him of all people!" I yelled losing control of my temper
"It's not like I wanna do this either Kitten but we have no other choice, It's me or Lucci" Somkor said I could hear the sadness in his voice
Good he should feel bad
"Rob Lucci? I thought he was miss" I said sitting back down trying to figure how a way to get out of this and coming up with none.
"He can't do it anymore he is headed somewhere else, Him and the others were found on a Island a few months ago, Tora you need to pack a bag you are coming back to HQ with me and Smoker. Smoker you will stay here with Tora and give her the story and everything she will need" my grandfather said before standing up I had no clue were he was going but I felt so much rage and somewhat betrayed.
"Don't think I will make this easy for you" I growled out my power taking over giving me fangs and claws. I was beyond pissed.
"I had no choice in this, but what's done is done" he said taking my grandfather's spot on the chair close to me, With my sense of smell so strong I could pick up his scent strongly making my heart ache and I felt tears come to my eyes but pushed them down he would not know how much I truly missed him or how much him being this close hurt me.
"Tell me everything" I said leaning back I was by no means calm but I needed to have a level head for this.
"We are to pretend to be on our honeymoon everything is paid for, Here is your ring, we are to get close to Jane and Eric who are the leaders of the group who are taking people" Smoker said with each word he spoke I felt even more dread.
We would have to fool everyone, They would have to believe that smoker and me are madly in love, there will be touching, hugging...Kissing.
"I guess I have no other choice, I have a few rules though...No touching me unless there is a have to" I said trying to keep up the strong front I might of been the one to call off our relationship but I had my reasons.
Smoker nodded his head his face showing nothing of how he felt, he handed me a diamond ring and I put it on my finger. It was simple but yet beautiful with a thick gold band.
"We can't very well use our names, Do we have fake ones or what?" I asked after sliding on the ring it felt heavy on my ring finger I saw on his hand he had one too and felt a little better knowing I was not the only one who had to wear one.
"We have to pick our names" He said grabbing the bottle of whiskey and taking a long deep swig.
"I'll be Arline, and you can be Godric" I said grinning at him and his sour face he was making at the names I had picked I'm sure it had more to do with his new name than mine.
"Fine, we leave tomorrow for HQ be ready at Six Am" Smoker said before walking off on the beach leaving me alone with my thoughts.
