Soldier Boy

Chapter 9

4 years later

I walked into the airport and looked around for the man I fell in love with. A few minutes of searching, I finally spotted him by the baggage claim. I started running toward him and jumped on his back.

"Matt!" I yelled.

"Jenny!" He yelled back. "I missed you, babe!"

"I missed you too." I said climbing off his back and kissing him. "How was New York?"

"It was great! But I was ready to get back home to my beautiful girlfriend." He said smiling at me.

"You're so sweet." I said intertwining our hands.

I bet you're confused. Well, let me fill you in. I met Matt my junior year of high school when he moved here from New York to live with his grandparents. We got together in the middle of the year and have been together ever since. He's the perfect gentleman too, he opens doors for me, he doesn't get aggravated with me and he loves me for who I am. I still occasionally talk to Louis, just not as much as I used to. He comes home once a year, for about a month and we hang out, but I moved in with Matt a few months after graduation, so I don't see Louis as often.

"You ready to go home?" Matt asked, grabbing his bags.

"Yes please. I'm tired." I said yawning.

We walked toward the entrance and outside to my car. When we got close to the car I popped the trunk so Matt could put his bags in the back. After carefully setting them in the car, he closed the trunk and walked up to me, picked me up, and kissed me.

"Baby, if you put me down, we can go home and lay in bed all day." I said giggling.

"I just wanted to make up for all the kisses I missed while I was gone." He said pouting.

"You're so cute when you pout." I said pinching his cheek.

He put me back on my feet and kissed me before walking me to the passenger side of the car, opening the door, and helping me in before closing the door and going to the other side and getting in.

"Ready?" He asked.

"Yes. I'm ready to lay in bed with you." I smiled.

Matt started the car and pulled out of the parking lot before placing his hand on my thigh and caressing it with his thumb.

"So what did you do while I was gone?" He asked looking over at me.

"Nothing really. Just hung out with Kacey and worked for the most part. And of course, missed you the whole time."

"I missed you too, love." He said leaning over and planting a kiss on my cheek. I looked over at him and smiled. When I turned back toward the road I seen a car heading straight for me.

"Matt!" I screamed before everything went black.
