Chapter 59

"I don't think you'd know him, Commander. He's Admiral Tom Boone. He works out of the Pentagon," she smiled just thinking of Tom.

"Tom Boone! Your marrying Tom Boone? He's old enough to be your father," replied a shocked Harm. "He was my father's wingman in Vietnam. I've known him all my life."

"Then you know he's a fine man. Now, if you'll please excuse me, he'll be here to pick me up soon," she said rising from her chair and walking toward the door.

Tom came through the door before she reached it.

"Hello, darling ready to go? Harm! I didn't see you there, son. Am I interrupting something? I can come back later, I'll just go visit AJ," Tom offered, reaching over to kiss Krystal on the cheek.

"No, darling, you aren't interrupting a thing, the Commander was just leaving."

"Nice to see you again, Tom. Caught yourself a nice young filly," Harm smiled going out the door.

"Yes, sweetheart, I'm ready just let me get my cover," replied Krystal grabbing her cap and they were all ready to leave.

Just outside in the bullpen, AJ was walking by and Tom called out, "Wait, buddy, I've got a job for you."

"You need an expert cook for tonight?"

"Nope, I need help moving Krystal to my house. Some thugs have been harassing her and the police are no help," Tom growled. "I spent the night there on the couch with a glock under the pillow, it was so bad."

"Sure I'm game for the move. Then I can swing by and pick up Krista," he grinned, turning to go back in his office. "I have a change of clothes in my office. I'll meet you at Krystal's in an hour, I just need to finish up some paperwork."

Tom helped Krystal into his car. He could tell she was excited about something and couldn't be still. Getting behind the wheel and starting he vehicle he pulled away.

"Tom, when I saw Krista this morning, she agreed to the transplant. Isn't that wonderful?" she exclaimed throwing her arms around his waist and laying her head on his shoulder.

"That's the best news I've heard all day," he grinned. "Did you tell AJ?"

"No he was in conference with the SECNAV all afternoon. I'll tell him when he comes to the apartment," she said smiling and settling down.

Once they reached the apartment, Krystal said, "The boxes I moved in with are in the back of the closet. I didn't plan on staying long as you know. I wanted to find the perfect little house. Instead I found my man and my house."

AJ had finished up quicker than he thought. Knocking on the open door he yelled, "Anyone here need a strong back to help move?"

Laughing Tom yelled, "Yes, you're late! Get your six back here and start hauling out the boxes."

Krystal was coming out of the bathroom. She had on a low riding pair of jeans and a blue and white checkered top with spaghetti straps. You could see her belly button. She also had on a pair of tennis shoes and her hair in a ponytail.

"Shut your mouth, buddy, before a nasty cockroach gets inside," grinned AJ at his friend's reaction. It was hard for him to look at Krystal seeing how much she looked like Krista.

Going to Krystal, Tom took her in his arms and kissed her until her toes curled. "Darling, no matter what you wear, you're sexy as hell," he whispered in her ear.

Blushing Krystal replied, "Thank you, Tom, but remember AJ is in the room."

Running his hands up and down her back he whispered, "I don't care who's in the room you're still beautiful and sexy to me, Krystal. You're not wearing bra, sweetheart!"

"I know. When I'm not in uniform I don't wear underwear," she whispered and walked to her closet packing with zest.

"Oh Lord, I had to ask," Tom replied adjusting his pants and going to help.

"AJ, I talked to Kris today and she's agreed to have the transplant," grinned Krystal.

Letting out a whoop like she'd never heard before he lifted her off her feet and swung her around. Before putting her back on her feet he gave her a big kiss. "Thanks, Krystal, that means a lot to me," he grabbed a box and left whistling.

Shocked at his actions she stared at Tom while AJ carried out the box. "I told you he was in love with her," Tom smiled taping another box before standing and taking hold of the shocked Krystal to give her a quick kiss.

Soon they had everything packed and ready to be loaded.
