Chapter Twenty-Six
– Friday
They slept in late the next morning and made breakfast slowly, burning two rounds of toast because they kept making out while they cooked.
After breakfast, they hung curtains. Most of them were hung crooked because Calvin kept getting irritated with Zoe's “just a little higher” comments. He kept kissing her to stop the arguing. She gave in, because she liked the kisses. Finally, they had them all hung and she smiled. “At least that is done.”
“What do you want to do now?” He wiggled his eyebrows.
“
Let's go to a thrift store and see if we can find some pictures!” He groaned, but followed her out the door. Anything to make her happy. His phone went off in his pocket as they stepped out the door.
“
Hold on, Babe, its work.” He pressed the answer button and put it to his ear. “Staff Sergeant Hall.” He listened for a few seconds and replied, “Yes, Sergeant. I'll be ready.” He took the phone off of his ear and sighed as he turned to Zoe. “They just moved me up again. I need to be on base tonight at ten. I'm shipping out tonight.”
“
Shit.” Her eyes filled with tears and she put her arms around his neck. “This sucks. They can't do that!”
He rubbed her back. “Yes, Baby, unfortunately they can. Welcome to military life. We will just have to get your car today and return this to the base. I'm sorry, Beautiful.”
She nodded, stepping back and wiping her eyes. “I understand.”
“
Let's go then.” They stepped out of the apartment building and he plugged in a used car dealership into his GPS on the phone. They got in the car and drove to the dealership. They parked at the flashy place and got out. Calvin took her hand and they browsed the selection. “What kind of car do you want?”
“
Fuel efficient would be best, huh?” She frowned. “That little green car looks okay.”
“
Zoe, honey. That's the rental car.”
She blushed and laughed. “Shut up! There are too many cars here!” He laughed and hugged her.
A salesman came up to them. “What can I do for you kids?” He shook their hands and introduced himself as Bob. “What kind of car are you looking for?”
“
Something fuel efficient and safe.” Calvin looped her arm through his and they followed the man through the lot. They decided on a slightly used Chevy Aveo. The car had good gas mileage and was still under warranty. They filled out paperwork and within the hour, Zoe was following Calvin to the base in her new car. She cracked the window to get rid of the new car smell. It had always made her head hurt. He led her to the Enterprise and returned the car.
She started to go to the passenger side of the new car but he stopped her. “No, drive. You need to get used to it, Babe.” She fought the tears that pricked her eyes and nodded.
“Okay.” Her hands shook as she took the wheel.
“
Wait. Take a slow breath and look at me, Zoe. We are gonna be okay, Babe. I know I have to leave earlier, but look at it this way, it's that much quicker I get to come back.” She nodded and took some slow breaths.
“
I know, but I don't want you to go.” Tears fell from her eyes and he tipped her chin up.
“
Look at me. You are going to be fine. We will have internet early next week, and we can Skype all the time. Come on, let's go home. I need to get my bag together, and I want to spend time with my wife before I go.” He kissed her gently and she took a few seconds to compose herself before driving back to their apartment. She parked in their parking spot and turned the ignition off. He smiled and touched her cheek. They walked up to the door and she slid the card, letting them inside the building. They walked down the hall and she unlocked the door of their apartment. She stepped inside and he followed, kicking the door closed with his foot and throwing the lock. He pulled her back to him and she gasped. “I want you, Zoe Hall.”
She turned in his arms and pressed him against the door. “Then you'll have me.” Her mouth pressed against him, hot and hard. Her tongue slipped into his mouth and she ravaged him. He caught the hem of her shirt and pulled it over her head, running his fingers over her lace covered breasts.
“Zoe.” She broke their kiss to pull his shirt off and toss it to the side. She nibbled his neck and ran her hands over his body.
“
I want you, now, Calvin Hall.” She slipped her hand into his jeans and pulled him down the hall by the front of his pants.
He caught her at the door of their bedroom and backed her onto the bed. He kissed down her hot skin and unbuttoned her pants, sliding them and her wispy underwear off at the same time. He parted her lips and fell to his knees beside the bed. He licked her hard and hot, pinning her hips to the bed as she strained to wiggle away. He slipped one finger deep into her sheath and worked her as his mouth suckled and licked her nub. He felt her tightening around him and he slid another finger deep inside her. She cried out and he bit gently on her sensitive nub. She screamed his name and came all over his hand. He slowly stood and unbuttoned his pants. “Get on the bed, Beautiful.” She scrambled up onto the pillows. “No,” he whispered, kicking his clothes off. “Roll over.” Her eyes widened with desire and she rolled to her stomach, propping herself up on her arms. Her slick core was high in the air, open for his eyes and he stared hungrily as he crawled up on the bed. He slid a finger between her lips, grinning as she hissed and bucked against his hand. He positioned the head of his cock at her glistening opening and pushed forward. She bucked back against him and cried out in pleasure.
“Yes, please.” He grabbed her hips and pushed deep, rocking her body to orgasm after orgasm.
“
I love you, Zoe Hall. Don't you ever forget it.”
A few hours later she stood in a room with a several other women. They were all crying and hugging the soldiers they loved. She held tight to Calvin's neck. “Damn it, I'm going to miss you.”
He leaned back and kissed her warm mouth. “No more than I'll miss you. I'll call you as soon as I can.”
Tears filled her eyes again. “Damn it, Calvin. I don't want you to go.” She pulled him in tight again and kissed his neck, her face being scratched by the Velcro on his uniform.
“I have to leave now, Zoe.” He tipped her chin up. “Promise me you won't forget us.”
She smiled. “I won't forget you, Baby.” He kissed her again, the bittersweet touch of goodbye.
She leaned against the wall and sobbed as he walked down the hall. He turned partially, saluting her.
Goodbye my sweet September love
