climbed off the bed and pulled off his shirt, walking to her. Looking deeply into her eyes, he slipped off his shorts and went to her. He pulled back the covers then picked her up in his arms and set her on the bed.
No words were spoken. None were needed. They instinctively just knew what to do. And their eyes never left one another. It was hot and sweaty and passionate and at the same time soft and loving and very tender. By the time they finally collapsed, Scott noticed that it was nearly 2330.
They smoked a joint as they were wrapped in each other’s arms.
“ Sooooo…does this make up for Memorial Day?” she asked with a little giggle.
“ Ummm…yeah,” he said. “I don’t think all the feeling has come back to my feet.”
“That’s good,” she said. “I would probably have been having my period next weekend, anyway.”
They both laughed loudly. Scott put out the roach in the ashtray as they settled under the covers to sleep. The TV silently glowed across the room.
“I love you, Footer.”
“I love you, Roni.”

CHAPTER 9
The clock on the bedside table read 5:00 as Scott stood in the bathroom, checking himself over. He was in his khakis and he and Andy had to be back on post in an hour.
He was checking to make sure his shirt buttons, belt buckle and fly were lined up, or dressed, as the Army called it. He’d been thinking for a while the Army needed to learn English or something.
He peeked back into the bedroom. Roni was wrapped up in the covers, snuggled into the pillows. He had already decided that watching her sleep was one of his favorite things in the world. So beautiful, so peaceful, and always with this little smile on her face – as if she knew something no one else knew.
Scott grabbed a Coke out of the ice and dug through the food bag and found some more of his mom’s cookies. Roni had done a great job of packing for the trip and for the munchies. Scott still had a case of them from the night before.
He picked up the phone and dialed Andy and Mollie’s room number. On the second ring Mollie answered.
“Hello?” she said, in a sleepy voice.
“Is he dressed?” Scott whispered.
“Barely. He said 10 minutes.” Mollie replied.
“Great. Thanks, Mollie. Bye.” Scott hung up.
“Hey soldier boy.”
Scott turned around. She was lying in exactly the same position, but her eyes were open.
“Good morning, beautiful,” he said. “I’m just getting ready to go.”
She sat up and the covers fell off her. In the glow of the TV her soft skin and curve of her breasts looked so warm to Scott. It was all he could do not to rip off the khakis and jump back in bed with her. Instead, he just sat down next to her on the bed.
“You look so cute in your little soldier suit,” she said. “Do you have the keys?”
Scott held them up, and they dangled in the glow. “I’ll take the weed and some of the other stuff out and pack them now so you don’t have to.”
“Leave Mollie and I a joint.” Roni added. “And don’t wreck my car!”
“Wreck it? We’re taking it to Kansas, baby,” he said, leaning in to kiss her.
“I’m very proud of you,” she said. “And I love you so much.”
“Why did it take us so long to get here?” Scott asked her.
“I don’t know,” she said. “But I’m glad we’re here now. You’d better get going; don’t want to be late for your last day.”
“See you after the ceremony,” Scott said.
“I promise to look better than I do right now,” she said.
“You look great right now,” Scott said, grabbing his bag and the cooler and giving her a kiss goodbye.
“I’m NAKED right now,” she said, standing on her knees on the bed.
“I know,” Scott said with a grin as went out the door. “Love you.”
Scott guided the Sky Bird to the curb behind the barracks just as the rest of the platoon was heading out for formation. He and Andy locked the doors and sprinted between the buildings to blend in with the
