"I quickly looked at Sally who was grinning and looking way too thoughtful."Ok, that's it, time for you two to go home. I think there has been enough ...nderhanded shenanigans for today. Besides Sally, your prom is day after tomorrow and Tiny is going to help out by being a chaperone while he is there."She looked at me in shock and then at Tiny, who had a big grin on his face. He got up and headed for the door. Sally gave me one of those scorching looks that all females have before following him. .." he said. Then, "The Gunny!" Riiiight," she said, gently mocking him. "Come on, let's go eat."Five minutes before the morning briefing, two of the platoon stopped on either side of him."Come on, Shiplett," Lievano said.Lenore sat up, intently. Artesano motioned she could follow, with a flick of the eyes. Lenore shot Lieutenant Rudolfs a quick glance across the room, and he gave her a pained look, but nodded.Artesano dropped back from where Lievano was trotting with an already-huffing. It gave him a good feeling to know he was back in the States. He was somewhat of a worrier so the safe landing also made him feel good.Walking out of the customs area pulling his suitcase he saw a very pregnant Sandi waiting for him. She greeted him with a hug and gave him a short but very nice kiss.Once they were in their Lexus SUV he could see Sandi was excited and she showed him a picture on her IPhone. The picture was of her turning over the first shovel of dirt on the lot she had. She stopped and then pulled me to her, leaning up and forcing her lips against me. I massaged and squeezed her hips and sides, giving the kiss all I could, forcing my tongue against hers and holding her to me, our bodies still swaying recklessly. Finally, when the song ended, a slower one followed and our lips parted. I could still taste her. I could taste her whiskey on my tongue. It made me chuckle. She was completely fucked. ‘Are you with the band?’ she asked, panting. I nodded, not wanted.
