Looking for a Soldier

[unexpectedblond]

I am really turned on by soldiers, airmen, sailors, marines...any of them! Who wants to start a story?

Captain Jack Long had just given his troops the last speech some would ever hear from him. They left in the morning for Felujah. As he looked over the crowd of loved ones, he saw that there wasn't a dry eye in the place except one in the very front row; She sat there stone faced and intense, as though waiting for something to happen. Jack turned to his adjutant and said, "Find out who she is and send her to my office this afternoon. Something is wrong here."

 

[unexpectedblond]

Laura Fines was not pleased. She did not like being told what to do by anyone. She didn't take it well from her husband and being 'asked' to see Cpt Long was not putting her in a good mood. She brushed past the privates waiting in line outside his door and closed it shut behind her. 'How can I help you, Captain?' She asked, one hand on her curvy hip.

Jack saw Laura storm into his office, obviously unhappy. "Please, have a seat." He said, offering a comfy leather armchair to her. "I was just about to have coffee, should I have my orderly get you anything as well?"

 

[unexpectedblond]

No, thank you Captain. What is this about? She sat down and crossed her legs revealing knee high boots under her dress.

 

[unexpectedblond]

Laura looked around the office. There was Jack's diploma from West Point hanging on the wall behind his desk. That made her flash back to 6 years ago when she first met John, her husband. He was a fresh LT just out of West Point and they were madly in love...or so she thought. Her attention turned back to Jack.

Jack received his coffee and sat back at his desk. "You can relax, you aren't in trouble at all. In fact, I want to help you. It's part of my job as base CO to look after the families of soldiers. I saw you in the front row and something looked wrong, so I asked you to join me. Sorry if my orderly was rough, he's used to barking at soldiers."

 

[unexpectedblond]

Laura thought she had hidden it...how glad she was that John was deploying again. "Oh, um...I didn't realize that I was that easy to read". She shifted her weight in the seat and suddenly felt like a school girl being sent to the principles office.

"Look, do you want anything to drink?" Jack asked, "Really, if something is going on I can move mountains to help you, but if I don't know the situation I can't do anything about it."

 

[unexpectedblond]

"To be honest, I need a Scotch!" Laura couldn't believe that she said it outloud. "Sorry, Sir, it's just been a horrible few months. John and I are...well...not doing ok at all. I kicked him out two months ago.I don't know if you knew this but he's been sleeping in his office and only comes home to grab fresh clothes." Laura's face flushed as she confessed.

Jack paged for a drink for Laura. He was concerned. "What is going on that is so bad you kicked him out?" he asked, sitting a little closer so she wouldn't have to yell.

 

[unexpectedblond]

"Well, I found him with another woman." It really hurt for her to admit this...especially to Jack. "He was...you know, in our bed!" She looked down and tried not to let the hurt show.

Jack put a reassuring hand on her shoulder. "I didn't think LT. Fines was like that. If you have evidence, I would need it to begin a case file for a Court Marshall. Adultery is heavily punishable under the UCMJ."

 

[unexpectedblond]

His hand was so warm and Laura looked up at him. 'Oh, no. I just want out of this marriage. To be honest I can't wait until he deploys...to be on my own again'. She noticed the small scar on his left cheek and wondered where it came from.

 

[bindingeagle]

Jack saw her looking a his scar and tried to change her focus. "I know a good lawyer you can talk to. He won't charge as much for military as he will for civilians." He looked her over slightly. She was so young and beautiful, probably married as soon as Fines got out of Officer School. He didn't think his thoughts were right to be having while someone under his care was in distress, so he shook it off. "Is there anything else I can do for you? Any kids?"

 

[unexpectedblond]

"No, no kids." Looking back she was glad he wanted to keep waiting for children...now she wouldn't have to raise one on her own. "Thank you for your help, Sir. I'm sorry to put this on you." She bit her lip and tried to think of a way to leave his office. She hadn't had any male attention since she kick John out and suddenly Captain Long and his mysterious scar were peaking her attention.

 

[bindingeagle]

"It's no problem, helping out families is what i'm here for," Jack said. Her gaze returned to his scar but he ignored it as best he could. He stood up, revealing a well toned body even for someone in his late thirties. "While you're here is there anything else I can do for you?" Damn, she looked sexy biting her lip. His pants grew a little tighter.

 

[unexpectedblond]

Laura had always admired Cpt Long for his leadership...and his body. She sometimes ran into him at the gym after PT and she appreciated how he kept himself in shape. "Oh, well no Sir. Thank you for your time." She stood and bent down to grab her purse not realizing that she was giving Jack a perfect view down her dress. As she stood up she blurted out "well maybe you can buy me that scotch sometime." As soon as it left her lips she knew it was inappropriate and yet felt so right.

 

[bindingeagle]

Fuck it. "Want to meet me at the Officer's club tonight?" Jack asked. He was doing something dumb but he was pretty sure he could get away with it.

 

[unexpectedblond]

She sucked in her breath. Did he really just ask her out? No, surely he just wanted to make sure she was ok. "7pm? I'll be there" Laura took one last glance at his chiseled face and made her way out of his office.

 

[unexpectedblond]

Laura Fines could not believe that she was doing this. She checked herself in the mirror before leaving the restroom at the Officer's Club. She had chosen a dark purple wrap dress and black strappy heels for the night. She kept her makeup simple and had loosely curled her long blond hair.

She wandered up to the bar and took a stool. She looked around and say a quick prayer that the place would remain fairly empty for the rest of the night.

 

[bindingeagle]

Jack was sipping a bourbon and coke when Laura wandered in looking just as nervous as he felt. He straightened his tan Charlie uniform and stood up for her, pulling out a seat. "You look knock out gorgeous tonight," He said, ordering her a Chivas Regal on the rocks. "The scotch you asked for earlier." He said. after a few minutes of awkward silence, he asked, "Want to find a corner booth?"

 

[unexpectedblond]

"Thanks sir, um, Jack..." She followed him to a corner booth and slid in next to him. Someone had not bothered to turn all the lights on in the club since it was only a Tuesday night. Cheesy 90's music was playing from behind the bar and laura nervously fiddled with her left hand...she had left her rings at home. "Do you take your soldier's wives out often?" She was trying to be cute but felt as though she fell flat.
