A/N: Sorry for not updating at all, I have so many excuses but I will not
list them. Pearl Harbor does not belong to me, you will know who my
characters are.
Getting to Know You
Maureen looked at Rafe unbelievingly. "Huh, I think I misunderstood you, you want to-talk?" Rafe nods. "About what exactly?"
Rafe took a step away from the door and said, "Well, um, you see, I figure we could introduce each other properly, and well, oh forget it! I'll leave you alone," Rafe started walking down to the stairs when Maureen called out.
"I'm sorry Rafe, it is Rafe right? Alright lets know eachother," Maureen stepped back and opened up her door for him to walk through. The only reason she was doing this was because she felt sorry for him. She noticed problem eyes, like he had to go through a lot in a short amount of time, and sighing to herself, she knew what it was like to feel alone in the world and have so many problems. "I would ask you if you want something to eat, but as you can see," Maureen gestures to her poor little room, "I don't really have anything along those lines. But I do have a somewhat warm room that is in a complete disaster if you don't mind that too much."
Rafe, now with a smile on his face, steps into Maureen's little room, but his smile slowly disappeared. He couldn't believe the conditions that she had to live in, the room he had in England during the war seemed in better shape then this one. But Rafe quickly masked his face and turned towards Maureen as she closed the door of her room. "So, Hello, my name is Rafe McCawly (A/N: I think that I got it right that time!)," Rafe stuck out his hand towards Maureen.
With a hearty laugh she accepted his hand and shook it "Maureen, Maureen Connor," laughing again she took her hand away and gestured for him to sit down, "so now that we know one another tell me a little bit about yourself, Rafe."
Rafe sat down on the chair as Maureen placed herself into a sitting position on her bed. "Well, lets see, I was raised on a farm where my father was a crop duster, my mom died when I was young, I later on left the farm to join the Navy as a pilot, I went with my best friend-'' Rafe took a breath "Danny, Danny Walker. I went to England to fly with the Eagle Squadron and I am now a flight instructor in the Navy here."
"Very well summarised McCawly. Short and sweet, I guess."
"Ya, well, there are some things about the past that I would like to forget about."
"Don't I know that feeling." Maureen said trailing off "So, Maureen, lets hear your biography."
"Well, I lived with my parents and two brothers in Ireland until I was ten years old when my brothers and I moved to America after our parents died. Liam and Alex, those were there names, took care of me until the time of their death, after that I have taken care of myself. That's my brief story," Maureen said looking away.
"Then we have both had some fun eh?" Rafe said trying to make light of the situation.
"Jolly well, Gov'ner!" Maureen added in a terrible English accent.
Maureen and Rafe talked for a good two hours before Rafe looked at his watch, "It's twelve I really should be getting back to the base and I think that you need to sleep, I will just let myself out," Rafe said moving towards the door.
Maureen got up from where she was sitting and opened up the door for it. As she stepped back she said, "You aren't really that bad. I hope we can have a nice talk again, you really are not what I thought you were."
"And how did you think I was?" Rafe asked with a big grin.
"Well, we can, um, probably never talk about that. I remember you saying that you had to leave to go back, well, I don't want to keep you any longer then you need to be," Maureen desperately wanted to get out of this situation, it was too uncomfortable. She was waving her one arm around to tell Rafe that he has to leave.
Rafe just looked at her and laughed, she really was one of a kind. He grabbed one of her hands and held it for a second. "I hope we can talk again, good-bye Maureen," with that Rafe turned around and walked out of the room and down the hallway.
Maureen closed the door behind him. Well, he's not that bad, she thought. Hmmm, a very interesting man that doesn't go all the way on looks, he actually listened to me, very strange indeed, I hope I will see more of him though. And with that last thought Maureen fell asleep on her bed.
Rafe's POV
Rafe walked home to the base, passing the same old, tumbling buildings. He genuinely felt sorry for her, to him she didn't belong in a place like this. And the weirdest thing was that he hadn't felt this tingly with Evelyn, this was something new, something even better. Well, it is true what they say, new experiences can be broadening, Rafe thought with a chuckle. Now there was only one problem with Maureen, Rafe was starting to fall for her. This should prove to be fun, new and interesting, and continued his way "home".
So how is this going, good bad, do you just want me to stop? R/R please!
