Chapter 7
A very good day
Jason did his usually everyday routine at base then finally got to walk out the their to see Marla. "Hey honey." She walked up to him and gave him a nice soft kiss. "Wow you're in a good mood today babe." Jason smiled.
She smiled as well."So looks like we're both off tomorrow." Jason didn't realize it until he remembered Marcus telling him that today while warming up."Yeah dang this is fantastic." He was glad he didn't have to stay at base all day again he just wasn't in the mood for it tomorrow and he's usually really good at that well you have to be."Hey Hone I was thinking we should go to our favorite bar later?" she offered looking really happy which made him even more happy which he could never resist so he told her he would go.
They were at the bar drinking beer around 8:30pm at a table just the two of them while people were up and dancing."So did you get any calls or letters from your family?" Jason asked. "Yeah there all OK just staying at the old house." She replied happily. He remembered seeing photos of her parents; they seemed like really good people from what he read in the letters they sent her. Her father's name was Larry and her mother's name was Sarah, they both lived in a typical suburb in Washington.
"So what are we going to do about the plan?" Marla asked wonderously. He scratched his head knowing that flying or the train was out of question. He thought and thought and realized there was really no way he could get to London since all ways to it were military restricted and needed a pass to get through."God damn it I don't know." He finally gave up clueless of what they were going to do to get in there. But Marla seemed to be fine with it.
"Well you know it was worth a try honey I mean if you think about it we would probably not even had made it there." Marla was trying to cheer him up but it didn't seem to work, but when he looked up at Marla's sweet chocolate eyes that seemed to make him happy every time. "You know what darling I don't want you to worry about anything at all." He reached over and grasped both of her hands from across the table. She leaned over and kissed him. He kissed back wanting the sweet loving kiss to last forever. They talked and talked about their week right at that table enjoying them selves, suddenly a song tuned on the speakers that sounded familiar it was the song that was on when they first met. He knew she would love to dance to this. "Hey darling how about we dance?" He asked showing the way to the dance floor as if she was a princess. She giggled "OK honey that sounds great our songs on."
They both walked to the area of the bar where everyone was dancing. They both held on to each other moving to the rhythm of the nice slow music. "Journey: Open Arms" It was a very slow but good song. Everyone on the hard dance floor was slow dancing to the great tune. They slowly danced enjoying the song. It was halfway through the song when he felt Marla's grip on him get tighter.
He looked down at her to see her head lying on his chest crying. "What wrong darling?" he asked worried; he had absolutely no idea what was going on.
She looked up at him "Just promise me we'll make it out of this war together in one piece Jason." He stared into her teary eyes and told her. "Marla I promise whatever it takes I'm going to make sure we both make it out of this war and live happy together for the rest of our days." They both romantically kissed right there on the dance floor, he meant every word he had told her and would make sure it would be that way for as long as he lived because he loved her with all his heart. "I love you…" Marla looked relived. "I love you too." The kissing continued and so did the dancing and music.
They both eventually grew tired and decided to go to a cheap motel that was close by since they drank quite a bit. Jason walked through the door tired. He looked around "This place isn't that bad." He fell onto the bed. Marla came through the door walking to the bathroom. "I'm going to take a shower honey." Marla told him. Jason replied with a wave of his hand while his head was buried under the blankets.
He finally decided to turn the TV on for a little bit but there wasn't anything good at all just same news he heard about the war and TV show repeats he seen a lot. Marla walked out of the bathroom wearing a silky robe and her hair all bundled up in a towel to dry. "Ok I'm done honey your turn." She plumped into the chair sitting next to the bed.
He lazily got up from the bed and walked through the bathroom door closing it behind him. When he took showers he never took long since he was so used of cleaning himself on base. He dried himself then slipped into his white tee shirt and boxers. When he went to open the door to their room he wwas welcomed a big surprise.
Marla was lying under the covers of the bed in a well… sexy position. He noticed her towel and robe were lying on the ground. "Hey Jason… want to join me?" he just couldn't resist... hell what kind of man could. "Oh I like the sound of that darling…" He went up to the window closing the blinds.
