Military heart

Can you do me a favor?

I counted the steps and breathe deeply as he arrived at the bottom of the steps. I open my eyes and saw him packed, and suited. He took a deep breath. “I’m ready” he whispered. I nodded. “hey” he whispered. He placed his finger under my chin. I stared into his eyes. I felt a tear stream down my face. My heart was breaking,but I tried to held my broken body in tact. I didn't want to show my sadness and fear,but it leaked out. “you should place your bags in the jeep I’ll be there in a minute” I croaked. Damn my voice won.

I quickly walked toward the refrigerator and checked off the days. I composed myself and walked out the kitchen. I stopped walking. As I watch George look back toward the living room.”I’m going to miss this place” he sighed and walk out the door. I shook my head as that flashback appeared. No this won't be my future. I pray that it won't turn out how it was in the memory.

I walk toward the front door and closed and locked the door. I grabbed the car keys from my back pocket. “I’m driving” I stated. “but I want to drive” he whined and pouted. I chuckled and kissed his pouting lips. He smiled and dropped his duffel bags. Before I had time to say anything. He pulled me in for a kiss. I tasted oranges and bit his bottom lip. He pulled back and gape at me. I winked at him and went in to the driver seat. I reached for the keys,but they weren't there.

“looking for these” George chuckled. I narrowed my eyes at him as he dangle the keys in the air. “fine you win” I sighed. He fist pump and walk toward the driver seat. I watch as he got in and started the car. I watch as we passed by trees. We soon moved onto the freeway. Everything was going by quickly. I was still behind trying to catch up. I watch as he focus on the road. I looked at his hands as they clutch the steering wheels. I lifted my hand and placed it onto his hand. He lifted my hand and kissed my knuckles.

“It's going to be okay” he whispered.

“I know It will” I said.

I looked toward the men who stole my heart,he gave me a-

“I love you” he said. I smiled at him.

“I love you too” I sighed and placed my head on his shoulder. He placed one of his hand on my cheek. I sighed as he caressed my cheek. I stared at my ring and smiled. It felt so great spending this time with him. My heart descended as we arrived at the airport. I close my eyes and breathe deeply. It only felt like seconds in the car with him. We parked the car. I looked toward George. Who was mumbling to himself.
