Part 3: Hello's and Goodbye's

Sarah was sleeping peacefully on his chest when Harm woke up. He had watched her for a while before leaving the bed and starting breakfast. He just entered the bedroom with a tray with coffee, eggs and bacon and a fruit salad for himself when she opened her eyes and looked up at him. As soon as she realised it was him and remembered what had happened the night before she was a bit apprehensive.

He gave her a deep kiss and told her: "Don't worry, everything will be fine."

"Thank you Harm, a lot of guys wouldn't have been so understanding."

"Well, consider yourself lucky you've got me." He said while a smile light up his face.

"Believe me, I do." She said and smile back at him before sitting up and offering to take the tray while he got back into bed.

After eating breakfast and showering they sat down on the couch in the living room when Sarah said: "Do you want to do anything particular today or you don't mind?"

"Well. I thought that maybe we could meet up with Sturgis and Keeter, they're desperate to meet you."

Sarah looked up at him with confused eyes so he clarified: "Well, they heard a lot about you and they said they wanted to meet you."

"Well, we could meet them and go see a movie or so I think."

"That would be good."

"Why don't you call them and get a place and a time and I'll get the newspaper and find out what movies are on." Sarah offered while getting up from the couch.

Harm grabbed her around the waist and pulled her down, after kissing her softly he let her go and said: "Thank you." She smiled at him and walked into the kitchen to get the newspaper.

Harm and Sarah were sitting together at a table in a little café. They'd been there for a few minutes and were talking.

Sarah asked: "So, Sturgis was the one that walked around the girls quarters naked to get their attention right?"

Before Harm could answer they heard laughing and someone said: "Uh, no that would be Keeter, after taking Harms advice."

Sarah looked up to see two guys sitting down at their table. They were both quite handsome, not as handsome as Harm but still not bad. One had dark skin but she could see faint traces of a blush that had been there just before. The other guy was taller and had dark hair and dark eyes. When Sturgis's statement sunk in she looked over at Harm and raised an eyebrow.

"What, he asked me how to get their attention, I told him he could always try showing off, it's not my fault he wanted to show off his, uh attributes." They all burst out laughing while Keeter said: "Hey, aren't you going to introduce us?" His topic-changing tactic worked as Harm said: "Oh yeah, sorry. Sarah, this is Sturgis" while pointing to the guy with the dark skin "and that's Keeter. Keeter, Sturgis, Sarah."

"It's good to meet you, we've heard a lot about you." Sturgis said

"Yeah, I heard a lot about you as well."

"You're even more beautiful than in Harm's photo book. What do you say about dinner tonight, just the two of us."

Immediately Harm interrupted: "Back off, Keeter, she's mine."

Sarah liked the fact that Harm felt the need to protect her but she was perfectly capable of taking care of herself so she answered: "I'm not yours Harm, thank you very much, I'll always be my own. But Keeter, I'm sorry, I'm already booked for tonight." She gave Harm a smile which he returned with one of his own.

"Now, what about this photo book?" Sarah asked, looking over at Harm she saw a blush starting to creep up his neck.

He quickly said: "Oh it's nothing, they're seeing things."

"Harm." Sarah said in a warning voice he knew not to fool around with.

"Okay, I've got this little book I put all the pictures in from our exchanges."

"Since you're in most of those pictures they call it the Sarah photo book, but it's really just an exchange photo book."

They talked some more and had lunch before going to the movie theatre. They'd decided to take an early movie since it wouldn't be to crowded.

Cinema

They just left the cinema when Keeter asked: "I loved that movie, it was really good"

"Yeah it was." Answered Sarah.

"You know, I expected you to scream and cover your eyes at the gory details but I was surprised to see you didn't."

"Are you kidding, I'm a marine remember."

Harm smiled at her and said: "Yes, Keeter, don't forget that part."

"I won't, not anymore." Keeter answered with a smile of his own.

"Hey Keeter, what about we go get some pizza and head back to the ship. We've bothered these two enough."

"You weren't a bother, it was good to finally meet you." Sarah said.

"Yes it was, but you can't wait to get him home can you?" Keeter said with a wink.

Keeter and Sturgis both saw the blush grow on her cheeks but only Harm saw the flash of hurt that crossed her face for a moment.

Making a decision quickly he said: "Yes, we do like to go home so I'll see you tomorrow morning, don't worry I won't be late." Saying a quick goodbye they left the two friends to their own business while they went home.

Harm had fixed them a nice dinner of spaghetti Bolognese and a salad and now they were sitting on the couch.

"Thank you for making an awesome dinner."

"You're welcome Princess."

"I love you Harm."

"I love you too, so much Sarah." With that his lips met hers and the rest of the world disappeared for them.

After some heavy cuddling Sarah found herself on top of Harm. She knew she wanted to make love to him but wasn't sure how to go about it without breaking down again. Slowly she bent down and took his soft lips in a kiss. When she heard a soft moan she placed kisses down his neck and onto his chest. After a few minutes she heard a deep groan coming from Harm so she asked shyly: "You like that?"

"I do, baby."

Sarah looked up at him. She'd always found it really disturbing when a guy called his girlfriend baby but now that it was him calling her that she didn't mind at all.

"What?"

"Nothing, I like it when you call me that."

"Well that's good to know baby." He said with a smile before reaching down to kiss her.

A few more minutes passed while Sarah continued to kiss Harms chest. Harm's hands weren't idle either, they slowly traced patterns on her back which were driving her crazy.

"Sarah, are you sure you want this?"

"Yes Harm, please."

"Okay, tell me if I do anything you don't want me to do or if you want to stop."

"I will." With that she kissed him on the mouth again. Taking it very slowly Harm managed to help Sarah get over her trauma's and give her some good memories instead.

The next morning Sarah woke up with the best feeling she'd had in years. She'd slept really well after last nights activities. Smiling she looked up to see Harms face close to hers. He slowly opened his eyes and without a word they kissed, not wanting to think about what the morning would bring.

BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP

"Damn it." Sarah cursed while turning off the alarm.

"You have to get up and get dressed."

"Yeah I do." Harm answered

After kissing her one more time he bent down towards her ear and said: "I'll always love you, never forget that." With that he got up and was in the shower before she could form a thought.

Harm got out of the shower in record time and found Sarah waiting to go in. Only a few minutes later she appeared as well, wearing only marine green panties and a matching bra.

"I'm sorry, my uniform is still here."

"No worries, I kinda like the view I'm getting."

Sarah looked over at him and said: "Well, you'd better remember it. It'll be a while."

Harm looked up at her face and saw the tears she was trying to hold back. "Hey baby, no tears, I love you and I'll write you as much as I can."

"I know. I'll write you too."

"Good. You know, one day we will be together, forever."

"forever" she whispered before hugging him as tight as she dared.

They were sitting in the car holding hands and just staring at each other. Neither said a word. Finally Harm spoke: "I have to go, I've only got " while moving to look on his watch Sarah finished his sentence: " 3 minutes and 18 seconds left."

He smiled at her before kissing her deeply and whispering: "I love you princess."

"I love you too stickboy." After kissing her one last time he got out of the car, grabbed his bag and walked over to the ship. He looked back at her one last time before he disappeared inside.

Putting the car into gear Sarah left to get to work, the more she had to do the better.
