Imagine... (Magcon Imagines)

31. Shawn

You pace across the floor multiple times as you wait for him to walk through the gate. You're anxious and can't wait. One by one they start to emerge. Men in camouflage and caps coming out and greeting girlfriends, wives, family and kids with open arms. Big smiles on each of their faces. You look out through the crowd until you spot him. Shawn. He meets your eyes and a smile beams across his face. He puts down his bag and walks over to you. You want to stay civil and walk but you can't anymore. It's been too long. You smile and run into his open arms. He spins you around and kisses you holding onto you tightly. He smells rustic and manly and the smell is euphoria. You kisses you over and over again and you kiss him back. He's home. Your boyfriend is home.
"I missed you so much baby. I thought of you every second of the day. Every minute my thoughts was seeing you again." He says.
"I missed you so much more. I love you so much."
You open your eyes abruptly and look up at the dark ceiling. You your body is spread across the bed. You turn to your side and grab the bottle of bourbon. You see the picture of him on the night stand. He was supposed to come home. That's how it was supposed to go. With the bottle in hand you begin to sob once again.
