Is This The End?

2021-11-09 19:38:12They say that love is blind; I say it is bullshit. Love is all-seeing and accepting. Love is seeing all the flaws and blemishes of your partner and accepting them. Love is accepting their bad habits and working around them. Love is recognizing the fear and insecurities you might have. Love is fragile and will shatter when it is not perfect. Love is strong and should strengthen each day. What is blind is when you tell someone you love them and not meaning it.
I am left to believe that Isabella only decided to come here to please me. Well, it has just kind of blown up in her own face. Unless she really wants to be here, this is going to be like a death sentence. She has committed herself for six years, and it is not like she can just quit and go home. Unlike her, this is my dream; it does sadden me that she won't be with me while we go through this. Guess that is why they call it a dream, for it most probably is only a dream to me.
Now I have Harrison looking at me with

…Isabella POV…They say that sometimes you have to love someone from a distance, give them space, and get their heads straight before coming back into your life. It has been three days now; every part of my being was hoping that I would have heard from Clayton by now, but nothing. Not a call, not even an angry message, nothing at all.I sat here in silence and watched him as he packed all his things in two suitcases. Not even hours later, he was out the door. One thing that he did not take along with him was my heart. He had, with one final resolve, detached himself from it.Today we are to meet up for a briefing before we ship out. This means that I shall be forced to see him today. Much to my disappointment, and I am sure Clayton's too, Harrison could not get me a transfer. I shall be stationed with Clayton's platoon for the next six months.Katarina has been staying here for these past couple of days; she is most frustratingly trying me t

Give a man enough rope, and he shall hang himself with it. That is what I clearly have in mind as I decide to show Isabella how one can love someone and not wanted to be with them, for this brave marine has just planted his lips squarely on top of hers.She still tries to speak, but I suddenly cover her mouth with mine and make her stop. Unable to contain myself anymore, I pull her into a fiery and passionate kiss. All my thoughts are obliterated, and the world gives away. It is a sensual dance of lips...but this...I want more. I slip through her lips and entwine her into a deeper kiss. Then the kiss starts growing greedier, our mouths are locked together, and it feels like I am walking on air. Nothing around us matters, it is just me and her engulfed in this moment, in this perfect kiss. After what seems for more than a minute, we finally pull away.There is nothing that felt more natural than having her lips rub against my very much trembling and ever so angry ones.

…Isabella POV…I don't know what Clayton's game is, but if he thinks his rude cocky behavior will affect me, he has another thing coming. He knows that he is being unreasonable, but being the stubborn soldier that he is, he will not be the first one to admit that he is wrong. And me being the strong-willed woman that I am, I shall not be the one that will be giving in either.So this is foolishly leading me to agree to something that I would have never agreed to in the first place."Yes, I will join you for a drink, but you know this is going to grind Clayton?""Anything that pisses Jackson off gives me pleasure.""I was afraid you were going to say that.""Come one; there is a part of you that wants that?""Ok maybe a small part."And with that, I see MacKey smile what can even be wider than his face. This is about to go so many ways south, and I will be caught in the middle of it. But hey, a bit of fun for the b

Well, talk about a mood killer, throw an ex-girlfriend's name into a heated moment. But let us forget about that for a second. How does she even know about it?"Of course, MacKey could not help himself. So what did he so kindly say?""I don't know, like maybe that you were engaged?""And I bet you that he said that I stole his girl?""Yes, he did mention it. So care to explain to me why you never told me about it?"Now is this something that I truly want to discuss with my ex-fiance? I know we said no more secrets and no more lies, but that is a part of my time here at Pendleton that I would like to forget. The thing is not even my parents know, so do I really want to tell her. Then again, I should not have to say anything, for there is no relationship between us anymore."Well let's see, I don't see why I need to tell you anything.""Maybe because we are in a relationship and we should tell each other everything?""See, that i

…Isabella POV…Of all the times, now, I decide to panic; I have done this before. I was trained to do this; I knew that this would be part of it. But no, now I find the need to freeze up. Do I not want to do this because I am not doing it with Clayton anymore or because I never truly wanted to do it in the first place at all? Either way, I will let him down, but will it really bother him so much, seeing that he truly does not want me around. The thing is, I am the only nurse, so in a way, I am letting this entire platoon down. Do I really want to be that person?But now I have Clayton standing all confused in front of me; what do I even begin to tell him. The longer I hold us up, the further we move away from the drop point. So I guess it is time that I make up my mind."Clayton, I can't do this.""Isabella, what do you mean you can't do this? Is this not why you are here?""We both know what the reason is why I am here.""Well

I feel her soft hand gently rest on my shoulder; I can hardly believe that it is her voice that I hear coming from behind me. I cannot help but bring a smile to my face. The woman has indeed done something that is hard to forgive, but I will honestly say that I am pleasantly surprised to hear that she is here. Though I never saw her jump off the plane, I am sure I would not have missed something such as a thing.So without hesitating, I immediately turn around to greet her, and as I turn around, I cannot believe that it is her that I am truly seeing."Hi, Emily.""Hi, Clayton. I cannot believe it is you; when Harrison told me that you would be here, I thought he was just joking around with me.""I did not see you on the plane?""I flew in yesterday; I wanted to come to check that we have all the supplies that we will need.""Well, it was great to see you, but I was actually looking for Harrison. Have you seen him?""He is busy with a

I have died a thousand tiny deaths in the last second. Now Isabella is not an irresponsible person, nor is she crazy enough to do such a thing on her own. But do I even dare and say that she has not been herself lately? Do I even dare to think what Harrison said is real? Do I even dare to think that she is somewhere out there alone, she is somewhere, she is in danger, she cannot be there out on her own. Harrison must have it wrong!"Sorry, but she… What?""Isabella is not on the plane.""Who did she jump with?""I thought she jumped with you!""No! She did not jump! She did not jump with me!""Clayton, she is not on the plane!""Fuck, Harrison! Where is she?"Every single drop of blood that flows to my brain leaves my face, and it feels as if I can crash to the floor. Everything is spinning out of control; tears are creeping to the corner of my eyes; I am terrified, I am not a man that gets terrified, but this shakes me

It has been the longest hour of my life trying to make the way back to the beach as fast as we can. So I can say as I step onto the beach, and I look left to right and see a very tree with a rock under it, I feel an overwhelming relief set in. But…there is nothing, there is not Isabella, I cannot see her as far my eyes can travel across the sand. That world that threatened to crash in earlier on looms on the brink again, but I will not show weakness yet. I know that we shall find her if we perhaps take the path that is clearly winding through the forest.Now, if I thought that I could hide disappointment and pain from the two men that know me, then I am sorely mistaken. Galland comes up to me while Clark walks a bit further down to where the rocks are close to the shore."We will find her, Clayton; she must have wandered off onto the path, thinking that she will find us somehow.""Galland, she knows that she should stay put.""And I am sorry to say

A big cloud of dust covers us and half down the street.Once most of the dust has settled, we make our way back to the Humvees."Woohoo, that was fucking close."Lopez snaps his head to my left and looks me amazed in the eyes, "You losing your mind there, Lieutenant?""Now that was a rush.

What is the greatest thing a man can experience?Having back what you have thought you have lost for good. It is true that good things happen to those who wait, but damn, did I had to wait too long"Soldier, Are you going to stop staring at my stomach?""Sorry boo, but I still cannot believe that it is real, and you are sort of kind of a bit, so I can just not miss it.""You can be glad my hands are swollen, or else I would have punched you."I am a mess right now; I happy messed up, man. Here is the woman that I love more than anything, and she is still having our baby. I have missed out on so much, I can only imagine what she must have gone through, but I don't understand.""Boo, but why did you tell me that you lost the baby.""Mark said, as I told you, that he would kill your parents if I told anyone. He had this crazy idea in his head that he could raise our child as his own.""But where did James come in?""J
The Marine Next Door Giving Me Second Hope
I know Isabella for far too long, for one, she is wearing some rather oversized shirt, which is not mine, and one that I very doubt would be that of James. And for a second, that damn sugar rush that she is forcing into that body, that well…"Isi, is there something that you are not telling me?""Clay, I think you need to come to sit down. Can I grab you a beer or something?""Somehow, I think I am going to need something far stronger than a beer right now. I think that overprized whiskey there will just do fine."With that, I watch her move toward the cupboard; her shirt is just a slight bit over that perky ass that has become slightly perkier than before. Now, if I were not so goddamn curious, then I would have pinned her down on this very kitchen counter, but I seem to feel that we will be requiring a bed for this one.So as she comes to sit across from me and to push a glass of chilled whiskey over to me, she casually has some oddly fres

Well, what one hell of a wicked plan, if you may ask me.Now the last time I have spoken to Isabella, she was still very much taken aback by the great ordeal that has happened to her.Well, today I have a surprise for her. It took a lot of string, but I finally got the big man at the top to let me step away for but a brief moment. Now nobody expects me to know, of course, for I know that my dear mother can not keep her dear old mouth any more quiet than Betty.So it is with very hesitant steps that I finally step in front of the door that I have a grave to be for too many nights now.But from inside, I only hear her grunt and curse underneath her breath, "I told you goddam people that I do not have anything else to say."With a rather loud huff and a somewh
The Marine Next Door More Than Enough
…Matty POV…A part of me is questioning if I truly did hear the words that are coming from the direction in front of me. If there are ever the most terrifying words that one has spoken, then I a sure that this will be it. I do wish that he did not just say that, for I am more afraid of Clayton's life than mine.No, as I stare into the godawful face of James, the other man has not yet made his appearance. Well, this shall not happen today. I shall not allow to be taken and overpowered by two men that clearly think that they are playing god.Now, as I watch Isabella's face, I see the terror creep over her face as the other man starts to speak. If there is ever the most terrifying look that words can not speak then that is what is on her face. But as this man steps forward, I can see the utmost expression of joy on his godawful face."Mark," I hear her gasp as she nearly trembles over in tears. "What are you doing here?""Next time, get
