Chapter 2: Falling in Love All Over Again
(A/N: Ok, well obviously Rafe and Evelyn did the midnight Macarena, the horizontal polka,etc…u get the picture. ( Read and Review people! Quick question: Why does my pretty Review button refuse to show up? It's bothering me. LOL, well anyway, back to the story. xoxo Courtney)
The first rays of sunshine spread over Evelyn's face, causing her to wake up. She groggily rolled over on her side into what she assumed was Rafe, although she was so sleepy she couldn't really tell. She snuggled into him and he rolled over and gave her what she figured was a hug, but since neither one of them felt like moving, she thought it was.
"Good morning, beautiful," Rafe whispered into her ear. Evelyn opened one eye and looked at him.
"Good morning, baby," she answered back in a muffled tone. She hated mornings; she was the type of person that loved to sleep late.
"what time is it?" she questioned. Rafe groggily grabbed his watch off of the table and squinted at it.
"It's about eight o'clock," he answered. She groaned and rolled away from him, throwing a pillow over her head in the process. Rafe responded by madly tickling her.
"AH…Rafe, Rafe AHHAAAHA Rafe STOP!" she giggled. "All right, All right, I'M UP!" she said. She sat up and looked at him and then started laughing.
"What's so funny?" Rafe asked.
"Your…HAIR is standing up," she laughed. They both doubled over with laughter before Rafe finally got up and walked into the bathroom to shave. Evelyn stayed in bed a couple more minutes before she finally got up and searched for something to wear. She finally found one of her favorite lavender dresses and started brushing her hair in the mirror over the dresser. She pinned it up in a French braid, applied some red lipstick and turned the radio on. She sat on the bed listening to it until Rafe was done shaving.
"So would you like to go out for breakfast this morning?" Rafe asked.
"Sure sweetie, where do you want to go?" she questioned back.
"How about we go to Fiorelli's diner on 52nd street? I heard that it has the best omelettes in the whole city." He answered. He suggested that place because he knew that it was one of her favorite places to eat when she was in the city.
"Sure, I love that place!" Evelyn said. She quickly stood up and gave him a quick kiss and then grabbed her purse. They linked arms and locked the door behind them. They started walking down the hall when all of a sudden Betty and Red came out of their room and yelled after them.
"Rafe, Evelyn! Wait up!" Betty yelled down the hall. The pair turned around and smiled when they saw Betty and Red.
"H-H-Hey g-g-u-uys, what w-e-ere y-o-ou d-o-o-ing l-a-as-t night?" Red questioned.
"Well whatever it was, you two were pretty loud!" Betty giggled.
Evelyn turned a bright shade of red and Rafe blushed.
"Betty!" Red laughed. All four friends collapsed into fits of laughter.
"I think the question is Betty, what did you and Red do?" Evelyn questioned. The tables had turned, while everybody still was laughing.
"Red and I, we talked the whole night and eventually fell asleep around 2 o'clock in the morning, "Betty answered.
"Well, me and Ev'lyn were just about to go to Fiorelli's for breakfast, do you guys want to join us?" Rafe asked.
"Sure, we'd love to!" Betty answered.
The four of them made their way down to the elevators. The reached the main lobby and hailed a taxi.
"Ladies first," Rafe said.
"Why thank you, kind sir," Evelyn answered before giggling again.
Breakfast went wonderfully. The old friends chatted about anything and everything. When Rafe and Evelyn arrived back at the hotel, they found a note slipped under the door.
"Who's that from, honey?" Evelyn asked.
"Orders for us, Ev," Rafe answered. She took it out of his hand and read:
Lt. McCawley:
Lt. Nurse Stewart:
You have been assigned to Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. The train will depart from Grand Central Station at 4 o'clock PM EST on September 30th. The train will take you to San Francisco, California. From there you will board the U.S.S Roosevelt which will take you to the base at Pearl Harbor.
Captain James Doolittle (A/N: I don't remember his rank)
"Well, I suppose we better start packing. Have you heard from Danny yet?" Evelyn questioned.
"No, I suppose he's either out with the guys or in his room still. His room number is…427. What room number are we Ev?" he asked.
"We're 401. Betty and Red are 417. So he's down in their direction." She quickly answered.
"Ok, I'll have to pay him a visit later. But for now, let's enjoy the time we have left, hmm?" he said as he playfully kissed her neck and led her towards the bed.
(A/N: I honestly don't mean for my chapters to keep ending there, but I wanted to start another chapter, so that's kind of where it ended. Sorry about that. I'll have to stop doing that…LOL.)
