The air was buzzing around me, the men was packing their bags and laughing. I heard one soldier say "does anyone know how the hell this thing works" holding up the strap to leg bag the British designed.
I smiled and looked around for him, my eyes searching for his handsome face and that dark hair that my hands were aching to get a hold of, I would do anything to get a chance to strip him down and ravish his body, just one more time, just to feel a live one more time. I noticed his friend a tall red haired officer walk into a tent. I stubbed out the cigarette I had been smoking and walked toward the tent. I was about to pull the tent tarp to the side when I remembered I wasn't in my usual uniform, but in a regular air born jump uniform. From what I could hear, the officers were talking about what to expect when jumping into enemy territory. I smiled; they had no idea what they were in for.
I turned and walked back towards my men, a hand on my arm stopped, startled I grabbed the wrist and started to twist the culprits arm, when I realized it was my best friend Anna. She just shook her head and let out a small laugh
"Does he know you are here?" Anna asked me.
"No and I might not let him know" I sighed.
Anna looked at me, I could feel her checking me over and you could practically hear her internal debate, she was trying to decide if she was going to tear into me for leaving her favorite officer or to go easy on me.
She decided on the latter, "Ok just be kind ok, he misses you"
I sighed, pushed my aviators back up my nose and hugged her. The knot in my stomach grew and I felt like puking, yeah It was going to be good to get the jump over with.

Anna was hiding something, I could tell by the look on her face. I hadn't had a chance to talk to her, because she had been glued to her the man she loved and clearly loved her back, but neither of them realized it yet. She was hiding something. I was in a foul mood, she was here and I was sure that Anna was trying to hide it from me. I noticed her standing with a group of men, from what I could tell she was in charge, but that didn't surprise me she liked to be in charge.
I stepped towards the group, but a shout from Hester stopped me and I was dragged into an intelligence briefing. I hauled my ass out of there as soon as it was over, but by then she was gone. I felt my heart sink in to my stomach if I could just touch her, kiss her one more time I would die a happy man.
I listened to Meehan telling the men that the jump was postponed for 24 hours. I went back into my quarters and changed into my dress uniform as ordered by the higher ups. I decided to go for a walk, trying to settle the uneasiness I felt deep inside me. I met my best friend; Winters just smiled when he noticed, me "so she is here somewhere" was all he said. I nodded and took a sip from my flask.
We had a brief conversation about Sobel and happy hour, before he was called away.
I turned and walked towards the movie tent, a shadow flashed between two tents, when I reached them a hand shot out and grabbed my arm, before I could even protest I was hauled into a supply tent and a hot mouth clasped down on mine.

I watched him talking to his friend, just waiting for me chance to get to him. My chance came when he passed between to supply tent to get to the tent were they were showing some sappy movie. I grabbed him and pushed him into one of the supply tents. I couldn't wait to kiss him.
We pulled at our clothes like to desperate lovers eager to get closer to each other, eager to become one. Nixon lifted me up and felt my back hit the hard side of a supply closet. I felt him penetrate me and I felt whole, complete and for a brief moment I felt all my burdens lifted of my shoulder all the lies, all of my commitments disappeared It was just him and me.
When we finished we just stood there panting, I felt him searching me face for answers and I knew that I could give him none.
Someone shouted my name and announced it was time, I quickly got dressed. I kissed him.
"I can't answer your questions, not yet, but someday I will, just know I remember every little thing" I left and I heard a crash and the shouts of profanities my hasty exit caused.
