"Benny! I can't do anything tonight." I complained, sitting down on my boyfriends lap, facing him. We were down by the ocean, in a secluded spot on the beach.
"Why not baby?" He questioned, while giving me butterfly kisses, all over my face.
"My brother Rafe, wants to go to dinner." I replied, kissing him back.
"What time?" He questioned, starting to kiss me down on my neck.
"At six o'clock." I replied, arching my neck a bit.
"So, you'll be free by eight. Right?" He asked, looking up at me.
"Maybe, but I don't know. I haven't seen Rafe in years." I responded.
"Ok, well whenever you get back, come meet me at my place." He told me.
"How do I know if he's in your barracks?" I asked. It would be awful, to bump into Rafe while meeting Ben.
"Good question. How about from eight till after I'll come down here and wait for you anytime from then on. And, if you're going to be extra late, you give me a call." He reasoned, I nodded. And, we continued as we were.
After Rafe and Danny left that morning, I had spent sometime with my roommate Betty. We've become great friends, she and I are the closest in age. And, we have just so much in common.
At about five thirty, Ben and I said goodbye. And, I went up to get ready. It didn't take long, because before I met with Ben I had already done some primping. The only problem now, was that I had a hickey from Ben, which was just impossible to hide. Applying make-up didn't work to well, and I knew it wouldn't last all evening, so I made sure to wear my hair down.
"Isobel!" I heard, Betty call me from the porch. I grabbed my handbag, and my coat.
"Coming." I replied, I know I didn't have to hurry, because no doubt Evelyn was there and she was my brother's girlfriend. So, that would keep then company for a while.
"Good Evening!" Rafe remarked, to me as I walked down the porch steps to them.
"Hey." I replied casually, smiling at him and Danny. Evelyn kissed Rafe, and then walked back to the house. First, giving me a smile. We all hopped in the car, and giving the girls one last wave, went on our way.
"So, where are we eating?" I asked, looking from Rafe driving, to Danny in the back seat. Being the gentleman Danny is, he let me have the front seat. Goodness, I can almost see my gr. School crush coming back. Even though I have Benny.
"There's a small diner, that is usually not too crowded." Rafe replied. I nodded. When we arrived, we got a table in the back.
***Danny's POV***
I couldn't believe how nice, Isobel looked. She was so beautiful now, and she looked so calm and collected.
"So, Is how's Mom and Dad?" Rafe asked her. She finished sipping her drink, before replying.
"They're fine, just the same really." She responded, with ease. We all continued sipping our drinks, until Rafe asked another question.
"Any guys bugged you after I left?" He questioned. It was easy to tell Isobel was embarrassed by this question. She shook her head, even though it was obvious that it wasn't that way. "Good." Rafe replied.
After we ordered it was silent. We had already made a lot of small talk, talking about the farm, school, the war, Evelyn, and even the weather. There wasn't much for us to say to one another.
"So, Issy are you nervous to be a nurse?" Rafe asked, again attempting to start a meaningful discussion.
"I was at first, now I'm just excited." She responded, pushing her hair behind her ear. Oh gosh, the first thing I noticed was a hickey. Who could it be from? Did Rafe notice it to? I feel like I'm her brother, I have so much anger, or is that jealousy?
