Chapter 9
The door of the hospital burst open and a young girl that was quite new to the nurses station flew into the room giggling.
"You will never guess whats going on!!" she cried and she stopped by where Jasmine and Evelyn were sitting.
"No we won't unless you tell us." Jas said trying to keep a straight count on the medicine bottles she was checking for inventory.
"Well its not very good news for me because its not going to affect me but its very good news for you!" the girl said happily.
"Goodness Margo would you please just tell us already?" Evelyn said, "My head is already spinning from counting so much today."
"Oh alright!" Margo giggled, "Your getting transfered to Pearl Harbor!! Your going to Hawaii!!! Isn't that wonderful?!"
Jas jumped and scattered the bottles that she was counting all over the desk.
'Good grief you'd think she was a three yr old that got her first puppy!' she thought to herself.
"Hawaii?" Evelyn asked, "How do you know that we are getting transferred to Hawaii?"
"Well me and the one captains daughter are really good friends and she found out that he found out that his wife had found out from her best friend that---"
"Stop!" Jas cried. "My head!"
"Well you asked me how i knew so i was trying to tell you!" Margo said exasperated.
"Just...nevermind." Jas said trying to figure out where she had left off in the inventory.
Margo left the hospital to go find others to tell.
"You know she is just excited because that means that she will be in charge here while we are gone" Evelyn told Jasmine when the other girl had left.
"Yes I know. You'd think she didn't like us." Jas said laughing.
----------------------------------------------------
Later on that night they went dancing with the airforce pilots. Rafe and Evelyn were having a good time out on the floor. Danny was sitting next to a very uncomfortable looking Jasmine.
"Danny seems to be shy around the ladies" Evelyn said quietly to Rafe.
"He just isn't sure of himself." Rafe said without looking over at where Danny was sitting. "Get him in a plane and he is sure of himself."
"You two seem very close" Evelyn replied.
"He's like my brother and my right hand."
"A right hand thats straying pretty far south of my waste at the moment."
Rafe grinned down at her. "Sorry."
----------------------------------
Jasmine sat in the booth next to Danny wondering why she had agreed to come on this outrageous trip to the city. She still had packing to do before they left of Pearl Harbor and it was very akward to be sitting next to him. She had no idea what she was doing there.
"So...Would you want to dance?" Danny finally asked her.
"No."
"Why not?"
"Cause."
"Do you have a better reason other then just cause?"
"No."
"Can you say more then just one word I feel like I'm talkin to a door."
'Gosh he is annoying! Can't he just leave me alone to sit here and be uncomfortable?!'
Jasmine didn't answer him and didn't look at him either.
"Are you going to ignore me the whole time?"
"Yes."
"Is there a reason for that or is it just cause?"
"Theres a reason."
"Care to tell me?"
"No."
Danny sat there studying her face. He was trying very hard to break her out of the shell she was in.
"I heard we are being transfered to Pearl Harbor." He tried again. "What do you think about that?"
"I am not sure." Jasmine replied stiffly.
"You going to give me the cold shoulder while we are in Hawaii too?"
"I'm considering it."
One of the other pilots came over to the table completely missing the exchange.
"Would you care to dance?" He said to Jasmine. He didn't see the look that Danny had given him.
"Why I would love to!" Jasmine exclaimed as she took his hand and he led her to the floor.
Danny watched them leave without saying a word but he was fuming.
'He has no right to dance with her!'
Danny's thoughts surprised him. He wasn't sure why he felt so protective and such of her. He had the urge to jump up and punch the guy in the face for holding her so close. Instead he just sat by and watched them dance.
Authors Note:
Sorry it took so long to write this. I've been busy working and trying to get stuff ready for when my boyfriend comes home from iraq. So I am kind of relating to this movie at the moment. I am working on the next chapter and i hope to have it finished and posted soon.
