When we finished our breakfast I thanked Lindsey and we went back up to my room lying in my bed cuddled into each other. Blake was playing gently with the ends of my hair as we watched the tv which was tuned into the cartoon channel and we were watching Tom and Jerry. "Blake." I hummed looking up at him.

"Yeah?"

"When do you go back?" It was a pretty vague question but I was sure he would know what I meant by it.

"I have two months before I get stationed on the HMS Ocean." Well it could be worse than that, I mean he could have been deployed to some war torn country which would have been a lot worse.

"Promise you'll come back in one piece?"

"Promise baby, I promise." I then cuddled myself back into his side and closed my eyes listening to his heart beating steadily in his chest and next thing I knew I was fast asleep again. "Kenzie, baby, you need to wake up." I felt Blake gently shaking my shoulder as my eyes fluttered open the light streaming through the window almost blinding me. Who opened the curtains?

"What?" I mumbled quietly sitting up seeing Lindsey stood in the doorway.

"Lindsey's saying something but I only know basic sign language and I can't remember most of it." He chuckled and I sat up properly to look at her.

'Luke's phoning Stephen will you talk to him please?' I nodded my head and she tossed me Stephen's phone. "What do you want?" I snapped not sounding half as harsh as I wanted to because I was half asleep.

"Baby please it was an accident."

Cough, cough, bullshit.

"No Luke, you can't accidentally fuck someone." I snapped trying not to shout at him. "I don't care, we're over." Don't think it, don't feel it. My state of complete calmness descended upon me again.

"Baby please, just hear me out." He begged and I just sighed.

"You have two minutes and two minutes only." I warned him and he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Okay well first of all it was my ex-girlfriend Aleisha and I ran into her while she was on holiday. We went back to the hotel room and got drunk...."

"At, what, ten in the morning?" I interrupted. He was lying to me, there was no way he got drunk at ten o'clock in the morning.

"Well not really she rang me drunk and crying saying she had nowhere to go. When I brought her back to the hotel room she came onto me." That sounded a little more like the truth.

"You still could have stopped her." I sighed.

"I know and it won't happen again." Well we're over now anyway so he can do what he pleases.

"Okay well two minutes is up we're over, I'll see you in America tonight." I ended the call and dropped the phone onto the bedside table before going back to watching my cartoons. There was nothing on the tv and after a while we got bored so we turned it off and decided to get out of bed. We raced to the bathroom to brush our teeth and got there at the same time as we started to reach for the toothpaste each trying to hold it out of the others reach. "I was meant to go in the shower." I chuckled with the tooth brush in my mouth making my words come out mumbled and muffled.

"I'll join you if you want." He joked and I rolled my eyes finishing brushing my teeth. I put the toothbrush away before turning to face Blake. "I'm going to go in the shower, can you wait in my room please?" I asked with a pouty face and he giggled. He fucking giggled. To look at him he looked all big and manly and scary but he is truly a child at heart. You would never expect a marine to giggle the way he just did.
