car headed up the drive out.
There she is again.
He swore at the sight of the empty key hole, and realized Fredo had taken the truck keys with him.
With no way to follow her in the truck, he swung open the door and started jumping up and down, waving his arms above his head. He whistled, which turned several heads in the parking lot, but didn’t catch the brown haired girl’s attention.
The profile of the young lady in the passenger side didn’t change directions as the car continued up the steep incline to the highway.
Cooper ran up the bank of iceplant, trying to catch the car. He was hampered by the fact that he hadn’t put his shoes on. He stood at the top of the parking lot, brushing gravel from his insoles, and watched as the little car made its way into the distance. No brake lights. No stops. No one turned around.
His brush with fate had dealt him a losing hand. Something about the woman with the smooth white skin, the fiery hair and red pouty lips scratched a need deep down in his soul. Like he’d had a date with destiny, but he’d had a flat tire.
Fredo came running and planted himself next to Cooper.
“What the hell, Coop? Something wrong?”
“I don’t know. I just thought I saw—“
Fredo squinted down the road, and then shrugged. “Sorry, man. Was she nice?”
Cooper thought about that for a bit. Yes, she was nice. Just like the girl in my dreams.
They both turned, Cooper checking one last time over his shoulder, before heading back to the truck.
It was all for the best, really. No need to get hooked up with someone long distance. And in his line of work, as the medic on SEAL Team 3, he had a lot to brush up on before their next deployment. Lives were at stake. He chided himself for almost losing his unwavering focus.
Of course, it didn’t help that he had a huge piece of granite in his pants.
