Cupid Comes Home

Ryder

It's been a few weeks since I got back to my squad an Luca can see the difference in me hell all of the guys can for that matter.

"Hey what's gotten into you? You been acting funny ever since you got back from Japan. Did something happen? You visit the red light district? You can tell me I won't tell Mindy" Luca says as he nudged me

"Na I didn't go their but I don't know I'm not a cheater you know that but I had a pretty good night with a girl we didn't fuck or kiss or anything before you even ask but we met at sushi an spent a lot of time walking around Tokyo talking."

"dude, your getting married in like 6 months to the girl you been with for like ever dont throw away good for a japanese slut."

"she wasn't Japanese she was American from New York actually."

"sure she was, man you cant belive everything every one tells you. now get your head in the game we got shit to do."

"whatever man."

I may be thinking to much into this but i cant shake the feeling i get when i think about that night i mean how she made my heart skip a beat, her laugh, her smile the passion she has for her work.

its sad to say that i don't get that with the girl i'm with now but maybe its just because we had been out on a mission for so long that i forgot how i feel when im with her, i really should give her a call.

"Hey sweetheart, how are you i miss you." i say as she picks up the phone

"im good babe, i miss you too i wish i had your help with the wedding stuff but the wedding planner he's phenomenal i just wish you were here helping instead" she says

"well, i'm glad you have someone their who can help you while i'm away making he world a safer place." i tell her

"Jon, thats the wedding planners name, he says thank you for serving an is giving us such a deal on the package for the wedding because of you being a Marine isn't that terrific?"

"just wonderful make sure you get what you want ok nothings too good for my baby if you want it have it, Listen i hate to cut the call short but i have to go save the world now bye I love you."

"Love you too by babe." she says An hangs up the phone

something just doesn't sit right with me about the call but i could just be overthinking it.

the wedding is a month out an Mindy just emailed me that the photographer jut backed out last minute what the fuck i dont need this im a million miles away what am i suppose to do? she an i could get married at town hall for all i care she's the one who wants the big hurrah.

"hey man whats up?"

"the photographer just backed out an everyone else is booked out months in advanced i dont know what to do."

"well, i know a photographer who would do just about anything i asked of her then again she better she's my sister, i could send her an email and see if she's busy?"

"dude, no offense but is she any good?"

"here." he says handing me a old magazine "most of the pictures in their she took, so judge for yourself just let me know quick"

I scan the pages an she's good like real good if she isn't doing this for a living she should because wow

"she hired! call her email her send her a smoke signal just get ahold of her as quick as you can."

"done."

"oh an tel her its a paying job she's good she should be doing this professionally."

"well thats what she's going to school for."

"thanks you are a life saver man really thats why your my best man!"

finally i can relax i send my girl an email letting her know that the photographer is taken care of an to not worry.
