AN: I Don't own LWD
#3 The Military Man is Home
"So he's coming home today?" Nora asked Casey on the phone early in the morning on July 1st. "Yes and I am so excited! He hasn't been home in 10 months, and now that he's finished all his Tours, he is home for good now!" Casey gushed excitedly. Casey then looked at her clock and it read 11:00. "Mom, I have to go. Derek is arriving at 1, and I still have to get dressed!" "Ok, honey. Just give him hug for all of us." Nora replied. "Will do. Bye Mom, sending my love to everyone!" Casey replied quickly, hanging up the phone. Casey then went to her closet to decide what to wear.
It was summer and it was a hot in New York, where Derek and her now lived. After a half hour of rifling through her closet, Casey finally decided on olive green shorts, a black flowy tank top, gold gladiator sandals, and her hair in a ponytail. She then drove to the airport, and she was glad she left early, as traffic was bad because of the Fourth of July just a couple of days away.
Forty-five minute later, Casey parked her car and was heading into the airport, where she would go to the Military Arrival Section. After a few moments she joined the other group of families who were all waiting for their person to come. Five minutes later, the soldiers started arriving into view, and Casey started searching for her Derek.
Soon enough she spotted Derek, looking very handsome in his Uniform. He then spotted Casey and dropped his bags and held his arms out. Casey started sprinting to him, and jumped into his arms. He picked her up and spun her around, all while holding her in a deep kiss. "I missed you so much!" Casey said as they broke away from their kiss. "I've been going crazy without you. I love you so much Case." He replied, with a suddenly shaky voice. "Hey what's wrong?" Casey asked concerned, as Derek put her back down on the ground. "10 months without you is too long. Video Chat wasn't enough. Not being able to hear your laugh, pet your soft hair, and not being able to kiss you was torture. I thought I would never be able to get home to you. I love you." He then took Casey into another deep kiss.
That night Casey made Derek his favorite meal, honey barbecue chicken with fries. "Wow Case, this smells delicious." Derek said, his mouth watering. "Well I wanted to make you your favorite." Casey replied with a kiss to Derek's cheek.
"I can't wait to spend everyday next to you, the woman I love." Derek said, grabbing Casey's hand. "I love you too, and I am so glad that my soldier is back safely." She replied, and they kissed each other passionately.
