Pearl Harbor |HS| *ON HOLD*

Chapter 11

Song for this chapter is without you by Lana Del Rey

Evelyn

A loud knock wakes me out of my deep slumber.

I groan covering my ears at the noise.

I look over to my left and see that it is 7:32pm.

I didn't get home until 3 today, falling into bed immediately.

Last night was rough, I feel like I could sleep for eternity.

I push myself up and slip into my silk robe, tying it tight around me.

I let out a yawn as I walk to the door.

"Alright I'm coming!" I yell aggravated.

I swing open the door expecting to see one of the girls returning from work but instead I see my Harold.

"Evelyn." He brushes past me inside, taking me with him he shuts the door and locks it.

I look into his frantic eyes and I begin to feel uneasy.

"Harold what's wrong?" I place my hands on his cheeks and he closes his eyes.

I lead him to the small couch in front of the window and sit down.

He looks over at me nervously, taking both of my hands in his.

"I need to tell you something." He says. I nod at him to continue.

He takes a deep breath before finally looking me in the eyes.

"I've been recruited to Europe, I'm going to be gone a month at most."

The words leave his mouth so quickly it takes me a moment to register.

"Y-You're leaving? When?" My throat tightens as I feel myself begin to shake.

What if he doesn't come back?

"Tomorrow."

I look down and close my eyes, feeling the tears begin to seep through.

My shoulders begin to shake and I can't suppress the sob I let out.

"Hey, baby, come here it's okay." I hide my face in his neck and cling to him, letting myself cry.

"Don't cry beautiful, please." He whispers into my hair, hugging me close to him.

"I-I don't want to lose you." I whimper, furiously wiping at my eyes.

I feel his hand pull my face towards his and I look into his emotion clouded eyes.

"You'll never lose me."

"But how can you be so sure? Who knows what will h-happen over t-there." I begin to stutter.

"I'm going to make a promise to you, I will always find my way back to you. I swear."

I look into his eyes and feel as if I've been torn in two.

I force myself to believe him, part of me screaming that it's not possible.

Promises are always broken.

"This might be our last night together..." I say out of realization. 

He quickly shakes his head, "no baby no, don't talk like that."

"But it's true." I cry harder.

"Ill be back before you know it darlin, the days will go by so fast." he tries but we both know it's a lie.

I sit and watch as he reaches behind his neck, unclasping the chain he has worn everyday since I've met him.

"Lift your hair up for me baby." He gently instructs, I quietly obey.

I feel his warm fingers brush my skin as he fastens the chain.

I look down as it falls between my  breast. 

His name is on the silver tag, I look up at him and smile.

"I want you to have it. Whenever you start to miss me just look down at it and know I'm with you. That I will be coming home soon."

I lean forward and push my lips against his, needing his touch.

It all begins to be too much.

"Harold?" I whisper, our foreheads touching.

He looks into my eyes and lowly asks, "Yes angel?"

"Make love to me."

He pulls back and looks at me unsure.

"Baby, I don't want you to feel like you're obligated to because I'm leaving tomorrow." He says, but I shake my head and wrap my arms around his neck.

"I want to, I want to give you my all." I genuinely mean it.

There's no other man that I'd want to be my first.

Only him. Always him.

"I love you." I was the first one to give in, I was the first one to say it.

For so long I wanted to, but I didn't want to rush it.

But I can't deny what I feel, what if I never get the chance to tell him?

He looks at me in shock, he brings the back of his hand to the side of my face and gently strokes it.

"Do you really?" He asks slowly.

"Of course I do." I can't help but giggle at the question as I wipe away my tears.

"Oh Evelyn." He brings his lips to mine feverishly.

He wraps his arms around me and lifts me off the couch.

We bump into the wall clumsily and I let out a loud laugh.

"Sorry." He begins to laugh as well.

He walks us towards Martha's room and I can't help but laugh again.

"No baby, the one on the left."

He groans embarrassed and finally we make it to my room.

He lays me down softly onto my back and I look up at him as he hovers above me.

"I love you Evelyn."

I let out a sigh in content at his words and connect our lips again.

I slip my robe off of my shoulders and watch his reaction as I strip completely.

He begins to undo his shirt but has some trouble from his shaking fingers.

I help him unbutton the material and push it off his shoulders.

The moonlight shines in on us and for the millionth time I'm captivated by his beauty.

Our movements are slow, we are in no rush.

Because in this moment, forever is ours. Time has no limit.
