Chapter #31

Chapter #31
Scarlett’s POV
Devon decided that he is going to sleep in his bed tonight so Louri and I have our room back to just us. “Babe?” “Yeah what’s up?” Louri asks. “Can you please explain why my nickname in the chat is killer thighs?” I question and she puts her book down and takes off her reading glasses and sets them onto her book like she always does and turns her body so she is facing me. “That’s because you do in fact have killer thighs.” I feel her hand going up the inside of my thigh teasing me over my underwear as she speaks. “But if you don’t think so I can change it.” She says, pulling her hand away. “Babe.” I whine as retracts her hand. “Yes dear?” She asks as if she didn’t just make me horny and wet. “You can’t do that and not finish it.” I say, taking my shirt off. “Can’t do what? Turn you on and make you want more.” She says suddenly hovering over me. “How do you do that?” I ask. “Boot camp taught me a lot.” She smirks. “Boot camp huh?” I say pulling her down by her dog tags. “What would happen if I did this to my instructor?” I say flipping us over and smashing our lips together. “You would have to face disciplinary action.” She smirks, taking off her shirt. I grab her tags again and use them to pull her into me. “You know at this rate I’m going to need a stronger chain for my tags.” She says against my lips. “If they break I’ll buy you a stronger chain.” I tell her as she kisses down my jaw and my neck somehow she’s got us in the scissoring position. “Up here Marine.” I order, pull her head back up by her tags so I can connect our lips as I rock my hips. “Oh shit.” She moans. “Are you sure you can’t come to Atlanta?” I pant.  “Are you trying to fuck me into going?” She chuckles but then moans. “Maybe. Is it working because it’s definitely working for me. Oh fuck yes!” I scream out thank god our room is soundproof. “Fuck Scarlett!” She moans as we both cum. “That was unexpected but good.” I breathe out. “We should change the sheets.” Louri chuckles. “Yeah but one more thing.” I say. “What?” She asks and I just kiss her and she easily kisses back. “I love you.” She says against my lips. “I love you too. I’m going to miss you.” I tell her. “I know and I’m going to miss you guys too. Come on get up let me change the sheets. And we might want to shower.” She says and I nod. I love my job but leaving Louri behind is hard. She won’t be alone though she’ll have Greg she is serious about the workshop she’s already bought the supplies and has blue prints for it and everything. I walk into the shower while it’s still cold as it warms up. I'm too lost in thoughts to really care. “Whoa Baby that’s cold.” I hear Louri say. “Baby? Hey, talk to me, what's going on in that head of yours?” She asks as she wraps her arms around me from behind and rests her head on my shoulder. “I’m just going to miss you.” I tell her honestly. “Baby we have been further apart for longer periods of time than this before. It’ll be ok.” She says reassuringly. “You’re right it’ll be ok. It’s just three months we’ve gone longer.” I say turning in her arms to face her, my arms wrapping around her neck. We get cleaned up and head back to the freshly made bed and lay down.

Louri’s POV
Dream
[“Hey Honey.” “Hey Lor.” “Hey Captain.” I turn around to see Jessica, Tom, and Devon walking towards me. “What are you doing here? You died.” I tell them tears in my eyes. “We did. You have to stop Louri.” Jessica says. “Stop what? What are you talking about?” I ask. “Stop blaming yourself. Stop feeling guilty that you found love again.” Jessica tells me. “How did you know I feel guilty about that?” I ask. “Because we know you. I’m happy you found love again. I wish I could meet the woman who was able  to help you heal and stay with you through the whole process. She took care of you when I couldn't, she gave you what I couldn’t.” Jessica says. “Thank you too Cap.” Devon chuckles. “Why are you thanking me I’m the reason you are dead?” I ask him. “You named your son after me. You tell him about me, you keep my memory alive and you aren’t the reason I died. It was my time Cap, sorry Colonel.” He says and I begin to cry. “I miss you guys so much. Devon knows about you too Jessica. It was Scarlett’s idea. He saw your picture on my desk and he asked who the lady was and why I was holding her like that and Scarlett told her who she was and what you meant to me this was when we got home from your funeral Tom.” I say tears streaming down my face. “You did keep your promise Colonel.” Devon says and I am confused. “What promise?” I ask. “You told me you would introduce me to your brother and you did. Do you remember that day?” He asks and I chuckle. “Yeah you were so starstruck and Chris didn’t shake your hand he gave you a hug. And you ran away.” I chuckle. “Lor?” Tom says. “Yeah Tom?” I ask. “Will you stay in my son’s life? I know my wife is due any day now. Will you be there in my place when he’s born and tell him about me all the time? Tell him how much I love him and will be proud of him no matter what and don’t let him join the military. Please make sure William Lor Henderson grows up with you in his life. And tell Devon his Uncle Tommy loves him and is always looking over him and tell Scarlett "I love her too.” He says hugging me. “Did you say his middle name is Lor?”.” I tear up. “I did ask Marie to confirm it. I never got the chance to ask you when I was alive but will you be his Godmother?” He asks me. “Of course I will.” I tell him as we hug. “Louri I know it sounds weird but just tell Scarlett that Jessica says thank you. I love you Honey and I am proud of the woman and amazing mother you have become.” Jessica says as it’s her  turn to hug me. “I don’t know what to say other than thank you for treating me like I was your real little brother Louri. Call my mom and tell her I love her.” Devon says, hugging me. “We have to go now, we love you Louri.” They say.] I wake up to Scarlett’s worried voice. “Babe oh thank god you woke up you were crying. Do you want to talk about it?” She asks and I smile. “Do you believe the dead can visit you in your dreams?” I ask, a permanent smile on my face. “Yes I do, why?” She says. “Tom, Jessica, and Devon came to me together. “I need to get my little Marine.” I say getting out of bed.

“Babe oh thank god you woke up you were crying. Do you want to talk about it?” I ask and she smiles. “Do you believe the dead can visit you in your dreams?” She asks, a permanent smile on her face. “Yes I do, why?” I tell her. “Tom, Jessica, and Devon came to me together. “I need to get my little Marine.” She says getting out of bed. “Babe, it's one in the morning.” I whisper as I follow her down the hall. “I know but I have to tell him something.” She whispers back walking into Devon’s room. “Devon. Devon wake up.” She says gently, shaking his shoulder. “Mama?” He says rubbing is eyes. “Yeah, Scarlett come here please.” She says so I go to the other side of the bed. “Devon I know this sounds silly but your Uncle Tommy and your Uncle Devon and your Aunt Jessica visited me in my sleep tonight.” She starts. “That’s not silly Mama. Why did they visit you?” He asks. “Your Uncle Tommy wanted me to tell you that he loves you and that he is always watching over you. Scarlett Tom sends his love too.” Louri says her smile never fading. “Can I go back to sleep? I’m tired.” Devon asks. “Of course buddy.” I tell him, kissing him on the head and Louri does the same. We get back to our room and I can tell there is more she wants to say. “Scarlett this is going to sound weird but Jessica told me to tell you thank you.” She says. “Your late fiance wants to thank me?” I ask. “Yeah and she wishes she could meet you. The three of them told me to stop blaming myself too.” She says but then her eyes tear up. “Babe what is it?” I ask. “You know how William, Tom’s son’s middle name was going to be a surprise?” She asks. “Yeah.” I say. “It’s Lor. Tom asked me to be William's Godmother. I said yes he also asked for me to be there in his place when William is born since Marie is due any day. Devon thanked me for keeping his memory alive through our son.” She says crying but her smile has never left her face. “I’m happy for you and I know William will be spoiled rotten.” I chuckle as I wrap my arms around her. “Jessica is happy for me, she is happy that I have you. Jessica said she’s proud of me.” She says crying but it’s not a sad cry it’s a happy cry. “Come on, let's get back to sleep, you have a plane to catch tomorrow.” Louri says
