Letters Overseas

Chapter 6

Ethans POV

Staring. I know this is not polite to not say a word, but I can't. Here stands the most gorgeous woman I've ever seen. Her picture did not do her justice. Not at all. The moment she decides to look up my heart stopped. Her eyes say so much. Happiness. Excitement. And I'm just feeling fear. Fear because I know I'll do whatever I can to always make it back to her. Love at first sight. Is that truly real. If you have asked me yesterday I'd laugh and say it's bullshit. Standing here now. It's very much real.

Ethan.....

The slightest breath of air leaves her lips with my name.

Kayleigh....

Sam - well since the both of you can't seem to speak I'll do the introductions. I'm Sam. Best friend of Kayleigh.

Blake - Blake. Nice to meet you. Ethan dude. Say something.

Ethan - oh right. Sorry. Hey Sam. I'm Ethan and this is Blake. Hello Kayleigh

Kayleigh - hey Ethan. Come on in. I'm sorry. How embarrassing where are my manners. Nice to meet you Blake. This is Sam. I'm Kayleigh as you know. It's finally great to meet the both of you. I'll show you your rooms.

Ethan - thank you. Your home is beautiful by the way.

Kayleigh- thank you. So Blake and you are upstairs with me. Sam has his room downstairs. Blake here is your room. If you need anything just let me know. Ethan your room is right there. Make yourselves at home and come down when ready. If it's alright we plan on grilling in the backyard tonight and having some drinks.

Blake - this is great. Thanks Kayleigh. Ethan I'll come get you when I'm ready.

Ethan - wow. Kayleigh this room is perfect. Ohh cookies. So are you sure you're alright with us staying here.

Kayleigh- hell yeah. I worked hard getting everything perfect. Oh umm shit. Never mind. Come down when your ready.

Ethan - alright.

When she closed the door to the room I looked around. It was cozy. Queen sized bed in the middle between of the room with light blue bedding. Chest with a flat screen on top. This is more than I needed, but I'm happy to be here.

Blake - well well well. I didn't think I'd ever see you in love. That welcoming was rather hot.

Ethan - fuck off. So you felt it to

Blake - felt it. I was waiting to see which one of you were going to attack who first. You see I'm now disappointed that I didn't see any of that.

Ethan - oh I wanted to kiss her the moment she opened that door, but I didn't want to scare her. I mean hell man. It's been 10 years. I didn't want to make an ass of myself.

Blake - did you get cookies?

Ethan - yep. Haven't had any yet though just been thinking.

Blake - look. It's the first time y'all are together. Get to know her and see how it goes. You have 4 weeks until you head off to train for your next tour. Just be honest with her. She seems like one who would value honesty over secrets.
