Troy and I were shipping off tomorrow. It had come way too quickly and the closer it got, the more I already missed Haley. She was my girl, and here I was leaving her. If I had it my way, I wouldn't be going anywhere and we wouldn't be in the middle of this fucking war. I didn't believe in war and I was sure the world could handle their shit without engaging in senseless violence. But I had a duty to my country, and I would defend it to my last breath, just as I would protect my girl. Haley meant the world to me and I wasn't going to go into this war with no objective other than getting back to see her. I loved her, with my whole heart. There wasn't anything I wouldn't do to get back to her, sooner rather than later and then I'd marry her. We'd have five children and grow old together. That was the plan and nothing was going to keep me from that plan.

But tonight, Troy and I were taking our girls out for a night they'd never forget. Troy and I wouldn't. We'd carry the memories of this night into battle with us. We were going to start with a picture show and then all head over to the diner before going out dancing. A night full of fun. No thinking about tomorrow. Because tomorrow... Tomorrow was something none of us wanted to think about. Troy and I would be leaving and none of us knew when we'd be seeing Haley or Gabby again. But tonight, the rule was we didn't talk about tomorrow. The only thing we had was tonight and we weren't going to ruin it thinking about what laid ahead of us over the horizon. Tonight it was just the four of us, the four musketeers, nothing in our way. And after we spent the evening together, we'd all go back to the apartment building, back to our homes where Troy and I would spend the night with our girls alone.

Both Troy and I had given our apartments to them anyway, so basically it was as if we were spending the night at their places, not them spending the night at ours. It wasn't as though anything would happen. I had promised Haley that when she stayed with me I'd be the perfect gentleman. I meant that. I loved Haley and I wanted to make love to her, but I knew that we would wait until we got married. I'd heard of soldiers marrying their girls before they went off to war, but I didn't want to do that because I was afraid she would think I was doing it only because I thought I was going to die and I didn't want to go to war withing being married to her. I wanted our wedding to be more special than that. I knew she did to. I didn't want it to be something we did in the heat of the moment. She deserved the grandest wedding I could give her and that didn't mean getting married in the middle of the night by a JP.

We saw an Orson Welles directed film. I paid a dollar for both of us to get in. Popcorn was only ten cents though. "How much was that "French Fried" popcorn, Jackie? Only 10 cents? What a bargain!" "Thank you for NOT talking during the movie!" It was what played at the beginning of every movie. It made me laugh every time. The movie was good. I laughed the whole entire time. I was glad we were able to see a funny movie. I didn't know if I could sit through anything less, not when all I could think about was what was happening tomorrow. I knew we weren't supposed to be thinking about it, but it was all I could do to think about it. So I kept my arm around Haley the whole time. And when we got to mom's diner, my arm stayed there. I wasn't letting her go for one moment.

When we got to the dance hall, there were dozens of soldiers there, all of them shipping out with us tomorrow. I couldn't believe how many of them there were. But they weren't who was important. Haley was the only thing on my mind. I was grateful for all the slow songs the were playing. There were a few jiving songs, but for the most part, we were slow dancing for a few hours, and that meant I held Haley in my arms the entire time. I wasn't going to let her go tonight for the life of me. When we were finished dancing, we all got back in my Mustang, heading back over to the apartment building. I parked the car in the parking lot, getting out of the car and pulling the seat forward so Troy and Gabby could get out. Hurrying around the car, I open up Haley's door and take her hand, helping her out. Locking up the car, I walked in with my girl and our best friends.

Coming up to our door, I unlocked it, looking down the hall toward Troy, saluting him as I opened the door. "Good night, G," Haley told Gabriella good night. Gabriella smiled down the hall to both of us. "Night, H." I nodded to Troy one more time before walking into my apartment with Haley. Shutting the door behind her, I looked down at her, placing my hand on her back. "Would you like something to drink, baby?" She pulled her shoes off, tossing them on the floor before turning to wrap her arms around my neck. "I think I could go for a coke... but I'd much rather you stay right here." I smiled down at her, arching my eyebrow quickly a few times. "How about you get your cake and eat it too? OR should I say COKE and DRINK it too?" I knew it was corny, but I said it anyway. Lifting her up in to my arms, I walked with her toward the kitchen, pressing my lips against hers, cradling her against my chest.

"Lucas!" she giggled out when I lifted her up, wrapping her arms around my neck, returning my kiss as sweetly as sugar. "I guess I am a lucky girl..." I laughed, holding her against me with one arm as I open the door to the fridge, reaching in for two bottles of coke, shutting the door with my foot. "I'm the lucky one, baby." I sat the bottles down on the counter, shifting Haley slightly to sit her on the counter in front of me, standing barely between her legs. I pulled out the drawer beside me, pulling out a bottle opener. Popping the top off her bottle, I handed it to her. "For you, my lady!" Popping the top off mine, I picked it up, holding it up to her. "Toast? To... tonight. And the most beautiful girl in the world." I nodded. That sounded like the best thing to toast to. "I know I am the luckiest man in the world." I caused her to blush and I smiled, finding her heeled feet beside my legs swaying back and forth incredibly sexy.

"I don't think you should compliment me so much... it may make me grow a big noggin." I laughed with her as she looked up at me, only to take a long sip of her soda. "That was also for the greatest man to ever live..." I smiled brightly at her."Well, the greatest man also has a big noggin, so if he gives the most beautiful girl in the world a big noggin as well, then we're even more made for each other." I winked at her, taking a long sip of the soda, winking at her. She took a sip of her soda before setting it down beside her and wrapping her legs around my body. I moved closer to her out of pure instinct, not able to get close enough. She started to undo my jacket and I sat my drink down as well. "I know we promised... not to talk about this... but I'm going to miss you everyday." Taking my hat off my head, I sat it down on the other side of her from where I put my hat, taking a deep breath.

"I'm going to miss you too..." I shook my head. "More than I ever knew I could miss anything." Moving my hands to her hips, I rubbed them softly. She lowered her eyes and I knew I had made her cry. I hadn't wanted to do that, but I knew my Hales. I knew when she was crying, even if she tried to hide it. She laid her hands on mine, speaking softly, "I wish you didn't have to go... and I know that's selfish." Taking another deep breath, I made sure she knew I didn't want to hear her talk like that. "Hey." I turned myhead down to look up at her. "Look at me." Standing up straight when she turned her head up, I shook my head. "Nothing is going to change the way I feel about you." I shook my head again for emphasis. "Nobody is ever going to take me away from you either. I maybe going half way around the world, but I'm always here with you." I placed my hand over her chest where her heart is. "Right here. Nothing is ever going to change that." I leaned my head forward, pressing my lips softly to hers, whispering against them. "I love you, Haley." She wiped away a tear and I swallowed hard, my heart breaking for how much I was breaking hers. "I love you too... I just... I get scared... thinking about all that danger... the guns..."

She wrapped her arms around my neck, pulling me tighter to her, kissing the side of my head. "I love you and I always will." Wrapping my arms around her waist, I buried my face in her neck, breathing her into me. "I will come back to you. I promise you that, baby." She pulled back from me, wiping her more tears from her face. "I know. Now no more sadness, remember?" She smiled brightly, reaching down for her coke. "What shall we do?" Shaking my head, I told her, "Anything you want. Tonight is your night." But she repeated my head movement. "Nope! Tonight is your night. That is what I want. I can do anything I want... for months on end... you can't. So tonight is your night, my handsome boyfriend." I smiled down at her, looking down between us, her legs wrapped around me before looking back up at her. But what I wanted I couldn't have. Shaking my head, I let her know, "What I want... I can't have." She raised an eyebrow at that, taking a long drink. "You never know unless you say it out loud? Right?" Swallowing, I looked into her beautiful brown eyes. "I want you." She smiled, shaking her head. "Silly boy you already have me." I shook my head in return, letting my fingers run up her arm. "No... I mean... I want you. I want to be one with you."

She blinked, staring at my fingers moving down her arm now. "Like..." I could see her swallow, her voice coming out small, "...making love?" Nodding, I moved my hand from her shoulder to her face, caressing her bottom lip with my thumb. "Yes, baby. If you would rather we wait... That's ok. I would never pressure you to do anything." She took a deep breath, thinking about it before blurting out, "I want to... more than anything..." She was biting her lip, but she was saying she wanted to. Blinking, I took a deep breath. "You... you're sure?" Nodding slowly, she slid her hands up to push my jacket from my shoulders. It fell to the floor behind me, but I didn't care where it landed. "I've never been more sure of anything in my life..." I ran my fingers through her hair, looking into her eyes. "I love you, Haley. Always and forever." Leaning in, I pressed my lips to hers, holding her head against mine, kissing her deeper.

I lifted her against me, keeping her legs wrapped around me as I held her in my arms, walking with her out of the kitchen and into the bedroom. I kicked the door shut with my foot, walking with her across the room to the bed. Sitting her down on it, I pulled at my tie, tossing it on the floor before starting to unbutton my shirt. She knelt up on the bed, pushing my shift of my shoulders before I'd even pulled it from my pants. It hung there as I undid my belt and my pants. They all fell to the floor into a puddle at my feet. Stepping out of them and my shoes, I stepped closer to her, placing my hands on either side of her face, leaning down and pressing my lips to hers. I let my hands move from her face, down her neck and over her shoulders to her back, finding the zipper at the back of her dress, pulling it down. Slowly, I peeled the dress down and off of her shoulders, slowly pushing her to lay down on the bed.

I slowly pulled the dress down and off of her body leaving her in her bra, panties and her nylons. God, she had the most amazing body. I looked over her, letting out a heavy breath of air. "My God, baby. You're in– You're so beautiful!" I inhaled deeply, letting my eyes wash over her some more before gripping the nylon material and pulling it down off of her hips, rolling them down her legs and dropping them off the bed. Slowly I moved to lay down on top of her, laying mostly to the side of her. I placed my hand on her face, pulling it closer to mine as I kissed her deeply, letting my hand wander down over her neck, down over the side of her breast to rest on her side, pulling her closer to me. I knew by now she could feel my hard cock against her thigh as I laid beside her.

Pulling back, I looked deep into her eyes in the moonlit room. I didn't need to ask her again if she was sure about this. The look in her eyes told me everything I needed. She wanted this as much as I did. She was as ready for it as I was. Leaning back down against her, I whispered against her lips, "I love you, Haley." I brushed my lips across hers and she whispered back, "I love you, Lucas." That made me want her even more than I already did. Pressing my lips against hers, I slid my hands down her sides, pulling at her panties, sliding them down over her perfect thighs dropping them off the bed once off of her slender calves. I licked my lips, swallowing, seeing her perfect pussy uncovered to me. Looking up at her, I breathed in, letting my hand rest on her flat stomach as I lean in, pressing my lips softly to hers. My other hand slipped underneath her, pulling at the clasps to her bra. I pulled that from her slowly, dropping it aside before standing up and pulling my military-issued tank top over my head. Looking back down at her, I swear my cock was about ready to burst through the confines of my military-issued boxer briefs. I pulled them quickly from my body, needing to be as naked as Haley, needing to feel her naked body pressed to mine.

Looking into her eyes, I lifted her leg slightly, spreading it from her other leg so I could move between them. "I love you, Haley," I whispered, coming up against the warmth of her core. My cock was mere inches from her heaven, what would be my heaven as soon as I slid inside her. Sex ed had taught us that when a woman's hymen breaks, or tears, it's painful for the woman. I didn't want to hurt her, but I knew the pain would subside. Kissing her, deeply, I pushed my cock deep within her, slowly, but not that slow. I thought the longer I took to slide into her, the more it would hurt. She gasped out into my mouth and I wrapped my arms around her, pulling her up to me more, holding in my gentle embrace. "I'm sorry, baby," I whispered, holding her closer to me. I pulled back slightly, pushing more into her. She gasped out again, the tears falling softly from her eyes. I took a deep breath, kissing her chin softly. "Hold on to me, baby," I told her gently and she wrapped her arms tighter around me, shaking slightly.

I continued to move in and out of her and soon enough she was moaning, moving her hips with me. "That's right, baby," I whispered against her lips, pulling her more to me as I picked up my pace a little. "Lucas!" she gasped out. I had no idea it would build this quickly, but we were both ready to explode. I pressed my lips back down to hers, kissing her deeply as I felt her walls clamp down around me, pulling me deeper into her as I exploded, releasing everything I have into her. I couldn't help but collapse on top of her. I could feel her heart beating in time with mine. Just as her pussy walls were pulsing around my throbbing cock. We were completely in sync and I loved it. I turned after a while, still staying inside her. I wasn't near as hard as I had been, but I didn't want to leave her. I pulled the covers around us, pulling against me more. Noticing the alarm clock on the nightstand, I realized, more time had gone by than I thought. Time really does fly by when you're having fun. I kissed the top of her head, whispering softly into her hair, "I love you, Haley." I felt her lips curl into a smile against my chest. "I love you, Lucas."

I had walked up the stairs with my heels in my hand. My feet were killing me after the long night we'd had, but I didn't want it to end. Troy was leaving tomorrow, and even though we had a rule that we wouldn't talk about it, I couldn't get it off my mind. "Night, H," I called down the hall after she said good night and I walked into Dante's and my apartment. He had asked me to move in here and stay here while he was gone, so I guess that made it our apartment. Anyway, tonight it would be. And when he got home, it would be as well. We'd live together forever after he got back from fighting this horrible war that was taking him away from me. But I knew he had no choice. That didn't make this any easier on me though. Troy had saluted Lucas, telling them good night before walking inside with me. He took my shoes from me and I thanked him, smiling at him as he tossed them aside. I would have put them away more purposefully, but that was good enough for me. He stepped closer to me, kissing me gently.

"What would you like to do? It's been a long wonderful night. We could sleep if you want?" I shook my head, I looked up into his eyes, letting my hands move up his chest over his uniform... Damn, he looked so good in it, despite what it represented. "I don't want to sleep tonight..." I looked straight into his eyes. "I don't think I can..." He pulled his hat from his head, setting down on the chair near us, turning back to me and letting his arms move up my arms. "We could just hold each other..." Shaking my head, I told him, "No... Not just hold each other, Troy... I want more..." Dragging my lips over my bottom lip, I continued slowly. "I want to give you more than that..." He blinked several times down at me and I knew I had caught him off guard. "More?" I nodded softly, smiling gently up at him. "More." I licked my lips, noticing how dry they were. "I don't want you going off to fight this war without ever..." Taking a deep breath, I took the step closer to him, closing the distance between us. "... making love..."

"Oh..." His breath hitched in his throat and he tried to speak, "We... don't... have... to do that... sweetie... I mean I am just fine kissing and hugging you..." I knew he would be. He was the perfect gentleman in that regard. He always had been. But it wouldn't be enough for me. Not tonight. Shaking my head, I whispered, "I'm not." I slid my hands up over his shoulders and around to the back of his head, running my fingers over his newly-shaven head. "Oh... You're... sure? Right? I mean a hundred percent... sure?" Smiling faintly, I assured him, "I've never been more sure about anything in my life, Dante. I don't want you to go without never making love to you." He nodded in return this time, stepping closer to me and reaching behind me, slowly pulling down the zipper on the back of my dress. I held pulled my hair over my shoulder so it didn't get caught up in the zipper. He leaned in closer to me, pressing his lips to the side of my head, speaking beside my ear, "If you're sure.. I'm sure."

Closing my eyes, I nodded softly, whispering, "I'm sure." That was all he needed. He pulled my dress down, letting it fall to a pool at my feet. Kissing the side of my neck gently, I felt the cold air waft in as he inhaled me into him. "I love you, Gabby." Biting my lip and smiling gently, I slid my hands down his chest, to the buttons on his jacket, undoing it. "I love you, Troy." He moved his head over to the other side of my neck, whispering, "Anytime you wanna stop... just say stop... okay?" I knew he would be this wonderful, but I didn't want to stop. Not for anything. Pushing his jacket off his shoulders, I looked up into his eyes. "I don't want to stop." I tossed his jacket over to the chair where he had laid his hat. I felt his hands at my back, starting to undo my bra. "Good..." Pulling at his tie, I untied it, pulling it from his neck, tossing it over onto the chair as well before starting to unbutton his shirt, biting softly on my lip.

He gently pulled my bra down, letting the material slip from his fingers, falling onto the floor with my dress. "You're perfect..." he whispered, his eyes wafting over my body before leaning in to press his lips to my chest, right above my heart. Gasps slightly as the cool air brushes over my skin, I closed my eyes, feeling his lips kiss my bare chest. Breathing deeply, I whispered, "Thank you." I gripped tightly at the material of his shirt, feeling … something stir down in my core. It had to be my clitoris. I was very turned on, I knew I was, and I was physically responding to his touch, his lips, everything that was him. He gently lifted me up into his arms wrapping my legs around his waist, carrying me over to the couch and laying me back. Grasping my breast in his hand, he thumbed the nipple, kissing me deeply. I moaned into his mouth, wrapping my arms tightly around him, pulling him more to me.

Pulling back and pulling his shirt and his green tank top off, he tossed them aside before coming back down and kissing me again. I shivered, feeling his bare chest against my breasts, holding him tightly against me. He pulled back yet again, undoing his belt and pulling it from it's loops before starting to unzip my pants. Kicking them and his shoes off, he lifted me up slightly, pulling my nylons down, kissing my bare legs. "I love you." I lifted my hips slightly out of instinct, feeling his warm breath on my legs as he spoke. Breathing deeply, I rubbed his shaved head. "I love," I said, pausing only to take a forced breath, "you!" I could barely think let alone breathe. We were two thin pieces of material away from being completely naked with each other. I was already high as a kite being this naked with him. His hands then came up to my panties, peeling them slowly down off of my legs.

I closed my eyes, biting my lip, but I couldn't hide his gaze. I didn't want to, but I felt completely exposed to him, aside from the fact that I was laying here completely naked beneath him. I loved it. I loved being naked like this with him. Well, he wasn't naked yet. I slid my hands down over his sides, grabbing at his boxer briefs and pulling them down, using my feet to get them down all the way. Now, we were finally naked together, just the way we should be. Just the way nature intended us to be. Yes, we had been taught not to do this until marriage, but I didn't care. I didn't see the point in waiting. I already knew we were going to be together forever. I already knew that one day we would be married. I didn't know when, but I knew when this war was over, he'd come home and we would be married. That day was far off, but I knew it would be here sooner than we would think now.

That's why we couldn't think about tomorrow. Because as soon as he left, it would only be an unknown countdown until he actually came home. I didn't know how long this war would last, but I knew he had to be out there fighting it. That's why I didn't want him to leave tonight without making love with him. He pushed my legs apart, sliding in between them and I lifted my hips to him, more out of instinct than anything. I felt his cock erect, pressing against my opening. "Yes, Troy," I whispered, pulling him, guiding him with my legs as I wrapped them around him. "Make love to me." It didn't take any more enticing. He pushed deep within me and my eyes shot open wide as I gripped onto his shoulders. I wanted to scream out in pain. The sheer tearing sensation, mixed with the heat of that tear was about enough to make me scream out, but I held it in, biting my lip hard.

He leaned in, pressing his lips to mine, kissing me deeply. He continued to move in and out of me and before I knew it the pain subsided. I gasped into his mouth, more so whimpering as he moved in and out of me. Lifting my hips more to him, I held onto him more tightly. "Troy!" I cried out as he pushed deeper into me, his lips trailing down my chin and down my neck. "Oh! Oh, my!" I'd never felt anything so amazing in my life, and I knew I wouldn't again, not until Troy gets home. I was going to wait here, faithfully for him, not letting anything come between us, just as there was nothing between us at this moment, not one stitch of clothing, nothing. Beyond that, we were completely open to each other emotionally. We were connected in a way, far deeper than I ever knew possible. And just as I thought it couldn't get any better, I felt the inside of my womanhood tighten up and my clitoris began to jump excitedly. Just as that was happening, I felt Troy jerk against me before feeling a warm liquid release from his cock deep within me. I held on to him tightly until both of our bodies were finished shaking together.

I held Troy against me as our hearts beat against each others through our chests. I kissed his head softly, whispering there, "I love you, Troy. Forever." He pulled his head up to look at me, his eyes and his lips smiling down at me. "I love you, Gabriella," he whispered, weakly pulling himself up from my body. I felt so empty when he pulled out of me, I wanted to cry. Looking up at him forlornly, I asked quietly, "Where are you going?" He leaned down to pick me up, cradling me against his chest. "We're not sleeping on the couch, baby," he whispered, pressing his lips against mine as he walked with me in his arms to his bedroom. Shutting the door behind him, he walked over to the bed, pulling down the sheets and laying me down on the bed before crawling in with me. He pulled me into his arms, kissing my lips softly, whispering against them. "I love you, forever, Gabriella. Forever." Smiling, I pulled him to me. I wasn't going to think about tomorrow anymore until tomorrow came, and even then I was sure I'd avoid it until he absolutely had to go. "I love you, Troy."
