The moment I reached her door, I knocked. The door swung open immediately. When I saw her beautiful face, memories of the naked moment we shared in Afghanistan flashed through my mind.
“Cooper,” she said, her long, dark hair as curly as ever. “What are you doing here?”
“It’s been two years since we met, and I thought I’d look you up.”
She didn’t seem thrilled to see me. I guess I didn’t know what to expect.
“Come inside a minute. I need to leave for work.”
I stepped into her apartment.
“Anyway, like I said, we were separated a bit abruptly, and…”
“Yeah,” she interrupted then took a step toward the floor-to-ceiling windows on the other side of the living room.
Her shoes tapped on the well-polished wood floor as she walked over.
I followed her
, captivated by her body. She hadn’t changed a bit.
“That’s quite a view.”
“Right? It’s why I moved here. The rent is crazy expensive, but I think it’s worth it.”
“You must be some big-name journalist by now.”
She frowned.
“No. I’m an editor now.”
“Oh, working on the other side of the equation? Still a journalist though. They kicked me out of the Army about a year after you left. I’ve been roaming around since then.”
“I’m not actually a journalist anymore. I edit…other stuff.”
The way she said “other stuff” peaked my interest.
“I’d love to talk with you about it.”
“Like I said, I’m on my way to work. It’s weird that you caught me. I’m usually not here this late in the morning. How did you find me, anyway?”
“Oh, some stuff I did online.”
She smiled.
“Turn-about is fair play.”
“How about dinner tonight?” I asked.
I watched as she took a deep breath. No matter how hard I tried, I wasn’t able to stop thinking of her naked body. If anything, I found her even more beautiful.
“Okay,” she said. “But I need to go now.”
She put her hand on my arm then let go and walked toward the door.
“I’ll pick you up around six?” I asked as I followed her.
“Yeah, that should work. Give me your number.”
