« I PROMISE » I yelped
« Good. Now keep the promise » Pete said and suddenly quit tickling me.
I saw a drop of sadness in his eyes.
Did he think i was going to forget him? No. He knows i wouldn't. But does he ?
We walked out of the same room we entered 8 weeks ago as simple civilians, but now we were US navy officers, in our summer whites. Happy, nostalgic..
-2 months later-
After keeping in contact with Pete for 2 months, today was the day he was helping me move to Pensacola, Florida. I had found a nice cosy house near base. I would be living alone with no roommates which is rare once you enter flight school. My doorbell rang :
« Aye aye i'm coming captain! » I opened the storage garage door
« Hi Rory » He smiled brightly. Pete had this glowing smile, I had never seen such a friendly smile before meeting him.
« I made all the boxes, all we have to do is load them in the van and then we can go ! » 5 boxes laid there on the ground.
« Hold on. You're telling me you ONLY have 5 boxes? »
« Yes.. » I felt embarrassed. Moving to the US was hard on me financially therefore I didn't have much money to spend on things.
« Let's start moving then GO GO GO! you're moving too slow for my taste Rory! » He kicked my behind chuckling.
