"Look what I got, four seven day passes to London, girls we are hitting that town" Camilla said and threw the passes on the bed.
Emma just looked at her and rolled over, Dana mumbled something about "yeah whatever" and Charlie just sighed.
"Ok, I was expecting a little more enthusiasm" she said and plumbed down on the bed.
Dana looked at her "is tall, dark, and brooding going" She asked Camilla
"Sure, Lip, Nix, Winters and Speirs, and they are staying at the same hotels as us" Camilla said.
There was a knock on the door and before either of the girls could get up to open it, Nixon walked in "God Captain, we could be changing in here" Emma said and threw a shoe at him.
Nixon avoided the shoe and gave a mumbling apology "Charlie, can I talk to you" He said
Charlie got up and gave him a dirty look, walked out of the room. She leaned up against the wall in the hall way.
"Look…." Nixon started
"you can't talk your way out of this one, Captain" Charlie said
"Please Charlie, I didn't expect to meet you ever, you got to admit, it's still is a little strange, having a group of young women with Easy" Nixon said
"That doesn't excuse the fact, that not only are you married, but you also had a girl waiting for you here, what the hell were you thinking?" Charlie asked the sweating lieutenant and looked away so Nixon wouldn't see her tears.
"Please Charlie, I am not seeing the girl anymore, I broke it off as soon as we got back and Cathy and I, are as good as divorced, please just give me a chance" Nixon pleaded.
Nixon had taken to Charlie as soon as he saw her, he was sure she was her soul mate, he didn't even drink when he was with her, she was as important to him as his next breath.
"I am not sure I can Nix, I am not a home wrecker. I will see you in London" Charlie kissed him on the cheek and walked back into the room she shared with the other girls.
She sighed and sat down on her bed and started to cry. Camilla sat down next to her and gave her a hug "Charlie, its not like you didn't know about the wife, that's all in the history books, but the girl here, well we should have thought of that" She said
"I know I just wish he told me himself, instead of me having to hear it from the men" Charlie said.
"You know what will make us feel better" Camilla said and wiggled her eyebrows.
"Some hell raising in London" Dana said.
"Yes ma'am" Camilla said
"As long as Sparky is there, so am I" Dana said
"We are leaving tomorrow at eight" Camilla said
"We best get busy then" Emma said.
The girls got busy. They had to get what few clothing items they had in order and fix their off duty dress uniforms. They hoped to get a chance to shop a little in London, at least for some dresses for dinner and dancing.
Camilla was dreaming of Lipton, the young sergeant she had treated in Carentan. Lipton had been released from the hospital and she had talked him out of going to Scotland, with Gordon.
She also had to use all her charm, to talk Winters into gong with them. Winters had originally planned to stay in Aldbourne, but Camilla told him to go with them and since Winters decided to go so did Welsh.
The girls was ready the next day, they had gotten 150 dollars, same as the men and they were waiting for the train to London along with the officers.
When the train arrived, it filled up with soldiers and they headed to London and freedom.
They arrived in London and checked into the hotel near Piccadilly and luck would have it, they were on same floors as Lipton, Speirs; Nixon and Winters.
After checking out their room, the girls knocked on Nixon and Winters door, just to let them know they were going shopping and they would meet them for dinner.
The girls found Oxford street and shopped, everywhere they went they were greeted by happy Londoners, who all thank them for their effort in the war.
The paratroopers was the first to return from Normandy and they were treated like heroes, the first day any way.
Whose idea it was, to let all the boys loose in London all at ones, no one ever found out, but they would live to regret it.
The girls ate a late lunch and walked back to the hotel, to drop of their bags and shower, they had forgotten that at the hotels in London had a shared bath at the end of the hall.
After bitching about it, Emma won the right to shower first and she slipped in the shower and turned the water on, she was singing and didn't hear the door open and someone come into the room.
Emma had just put shampoo in her hair, when someone stepped in the shower to her, when she felt some one grab her, she tried to scream, but a pair of lips crashed down on hers.
She had no idea who was kissing her, but if she should take a guess I was Winters, she could feel her body tingle all over and when his hands slipped up to the back of her neck, she opened her eyes and saw she was right, it was the Captain.
Emma pulled away and looked at a blushing Winters.
"Well Captain, I didn't know you had it in you" Emma said and smiled
"neither did I, but when I realized you were in here, I couldn't help myself" Winters said and looked at Emma to see what her reaction would be.
Emma just gave him a big smile and Winters relaxed.
Emma kissed him "Well, we better hurry, the girls are going to be banging down the door in a few, if we don't hurry up" She said
The two of them finished the shower and Emma promised herself it was just foreplay, one way or another Mr. I don't show emotions would be in her bed tonight.
Emma stepped into the room with a big smile on her face "Guess what I just did" She said.
"Ew. We don't want to know" Dana said and threw a pillow at Emma
"Ew no, I just showered with Dick" Emma said and threw herself on her bed.
"excuse me what?" Charlie said
"I just took a shower with Richard Winters" Emma said and giggled
"Well somebody is getting some action tonight" Dana laughed and looked around at the girls
"Just so we are absolutely clear about what is going down tonight, I have every intention of getting ass stupid drunk and make Sparky take me home" she giggled and ran out of the room to hit the shower.
"My guess is, Sparky is going to have her butt for drinking on his watch" Camilla said
The other girls laughed and started to get ready for the Dinner with the other officers.
The dinner was great and the host insisted on paying their bill, with them being heroes and all.
Easy and Dog company was drinking at a pub, not too far from the hotel and the group decided to join them.
When they walked in they noticed Buck, Luz, Guarnere, Toye and the other guys was drinking at a big table in the corner.
The group moved through the crowd and joined the men, they guys vacated some chairs for the girls and they sat down. Winters dragged Emma out on the dance floor, so he could have some alone time with her.
Nixon and Charlie was giving each other dirty looks and Camilla was looking at Lipton, who was talking to Luz.
Luz noticed and nodded toward Camilla, Lipton said something to Luz and stepped over to Camilla and asked her to dance, Camilla agreed and Lipton pulled her into his arms. Camilla put her head on his chest and breathed in his sent.
Lipton pulled away a little, "I have wanted to do this since Normandy," he said
"I have wanted you to since Normandy" Camilla said and put her head back on his chest.
"Hey Captain, I remember you saying something about being able to drink anyone of us under the table" Luz said and drew away Danas attention from the dart game; she was in the middle of with Speirs.
"You remember right, is it you and me or what?" Dana asked.
"yep and a few more" Luz said.
Speirs gave Luz a dirty look and Luz got a little scared.
Speirs went back to the table and sat down; there was an uncomfortable silence at the table. Speirs noticed Nixon and lieutenant Kahne just starring at each other.
"Ok so Nixon, where do you think we'll be going next?" he asked, to break the uncomfortable silence.
Nixon turned and answered him.
Dana was throwing back shot after shot, she had already finished of Luz and Bull, and now Liebgott got his turn.
The boys didn't know that Dana used to drink with the navy seals, so she was pretty though when it came to drinking shots.
After half an hour Winters, Emma, Lip and Camilla came back to the table. Emma noticed Dana at the bar and she could tell she was almost too drunk she was flirting with Liebgott and Talbert.
Emma turned to Speirs "Lieutenant if you don't want Dana to walk out of here with someone who isn't you. You might want to get her out of here and back to bed" Emma said and pointed to Dana who had her arms wrapped around a very drunk Liebgott.
Speirs who had been busy talking to Nixon, hadn't noticed Danas binge drinking, he could tell she was drunk and in a good mood.
He walked up to her and threw her over his shoulder, when he turned to the door she looked up at the guys, "Bye guys, Spanky says I can't play anymore" Dana said
"Captain that's Sparky" Liebgott said, which just made Dana laugh out hard.
She tabbed Speirs on the butt "You would spank me if I told you I was a bad girl, wouldn't you?" Dana said
Speirs rolled his eyes "Don't count on it" He said and walked out of the pub and into their hotel.
Speirs got the key to his room and walked into the elevator, with a singing Dana on his shoulder, she was singing "Its time to take my drunk ass home, I drank all the whiskey and my money is all gone" Speirs had never heard that song before and he figured Dana just made it as she went along.
He managed to get the door open and he sat Dana down his bed. Dana somehow got a hold of his tie and drew him to her, just as she was about to kiss him, "I am going to be sick" she said and headed for the bath room.
Speirs followed and while she was tossing her cookies, he got down beside her with a wet cloth.
He washed her face, got her back into bed and helped her un dress, which was not all that bad. Speirs tucked her in and was about to head for the couch, when he heard "Ron, please stay with me" he laid down next to her and pulled her close and they both fell asleep.
After an hour the only ones left at the pub was Nixon and Charlie, they still had not said a word to each other.
Winters and Emma had left, and Lipton and Camilla had left not that long after them.
Charlie finally talked to Nixon "Well, I guess I have no where to stay tonight, so can I crash in your bed?" Charlie asked Nixon.
"I guess, but Charlie are you absolutely sure, if I get you in my bed I can't be held responsible for my actions" Nixon said
Charlie walked over and sat down in Nixon's lap, "I am absolutely sure, I shouldn't have gotten so mad at you, its not like I didn't knew about Cathy, but the girl in Aldbourne stung a little, so for future reference let's be honest with each other ok, oh and just so you know, you will be divorced soon" Charlie said and walked out of the pub with Nixon hot on her heels.
He took her hand pulled her to a stop "What do you mean, I will be divorced soon" Nixon asked her.
"Well I shouldn't have said anything, but in April Cathy is going to send you one of those dear Nixon letters" Charlie said and shrugged
Nixon pulled her into a tight embrace "you have no idea how glad I am to hear that" He said and kissed Charlie, she smiled up at him.
Nixon took Charlie up to the hotel room he shared with Winters, who wasn't there and Nixon figured he was in Emma's room.
Which he was and so was Lip and Camilla The four of them was trying not to laugh hysterical of Lipton trying to describe what he had seen when he tried to get into his room.
Speirs had been on his back in the bed sleeping and Dana had been in the bathroom hurling and calling Speirs, Luz and the rest of the boys dirty names, so when Lipton tried to walk into get to bed, Speirs woke up and threw a shoe at him. Dana told him to get the hell out or she would fucking kill him herself.
Therefore, Lipton had knocked on Camilla's door hoping to be able to sleep on the couch, when he saw Captain Winters in there, he froze until Camilla dragged him into the room and pushed him down on his bed and laid down with her head on his chest.
After a little while the girls had fallen asleep.
Lipton looked over at Winters "I don't know where these girls are from, but I just thank god, that it was us who found them in Normandy. The captain saved a lot of lives in Carentan" Lipton said and nodded towards Emma.
"Yeah we sure are, she is one of the best combat leaders I have ever seen" Winters said.
