A Strange Way to Fall in প্রণয় Chapter Seventeen
I was going to stay at the সৈকত a little longer. I wanted to sit out here and think in peacefulness of the ocean. It was nice to be out here দ্বারা myself. But, I had been দ্বারা myself for years. Well, except for Mark being দ্বারা my side during the years in the army. I had no idea what to do now that I was back in the states. The army was my career and pretty much the only thing I knew.
"Hey Kyle," Lola said, "whatcha still doing here?"
"Just thinking," I said.
"They must be pretty important! আপনি have been sitting here for a while," she stated, "trying to think if আপনি should put a ring on your girlfriend's finger?"
Lola started laughing after what she just said.
"No, not that! I have been way too busy to date," I ব্যক্ত laughing a little.
"Ahh, I would have thought আপনি would had settled down দ্বারা now," she said, "with a couple of kids and in some nice neighborhood!"
"Why would আপনি think," I asked.
"You just seemed like the type of guy that would have a family দ্বারা now," she shrugged.
"Me," I asked laughing, "I have been over seas numerous amount of times! I could not leave a family behind to go fight that many times."
"Oh okay," she ব্যক্ত as she sat down beside me.
"Just oh okay," I asked, "that is all?"
"Yep," Lola ব্যক্ত as she stared out at sea, "have আপনি ever gotten hurt over there?"
"Once," I said, "but nothing serious!"
"Oh neat," she ব্যক্ত as I looked her oddly, "well, not neat! But, that is good আপনি did not get hurt too bad!"
"Yeah, I like my job; I think I will keep it," I ব্যক্ত smiling, "but what are আপনি still doing here?"
"I was taking a walk on the beach," she said, "I প্রণয় this place. It's like I belong here!"
"That's good that আপনি have something আপনি love," I said.
"Why are আপনি still in your uniform," she asked curiously.
"I have not gotten a chance to change out of it," I said, "I wear this uniform everyday that I forget to change out of it when I come back home!"
"That is funny," she ব্যক্ত laughing.
"So, what have আপনি been up to all these years I have been gone," I asked.
"Eh, আপনি know most of it," she shrugged, "basically fighting for my life and putting those people in jail."
"I am sorry," I said, "I wish I could have been here and that would have never happened!"
"It would have happened if আপনি were here," she stated, "it's whatever now! Do আপনি ever have nightmares about your job অথবা whatever আপনি call it?"
"Sometimes, but not very much," I stated, "do আপনি every have nightmares about everything that has happened to you?"
"Honestly," she ব্যক্ত as she looked over me, "every night. I try and stay up as long as possible and wake up as early as possible. I relive everything that has every happened to me every night."
"Does it still scare you," I asked curiously.
"Every time, আপনি think after living it once and dreaming about for বছর অথবা so, আপনি would know what is coming. But, I don't," she said.
"Have আপনি told Horatio," I asked.
"No, I have not," Lola said, "and I am not going too! Him and everyone else at his department have tried to get me to talk to anyone about everything. But, I do not need someone telling me how to get rid of nightmares. Besides, it probably would not help at all!"
"Oh," I said.
"Don't strain your voice too much," she ব্যক্ত laughing.
"Sorry, I just keep thinking what if," I stated.
"It is the past," she ব্যক্ত as she paused, "it is a, whatever?"
"Okay," I ব্যক্ত with a bit of laughter.
"Are আপনি going back over seas অথবা are আপনি here for good," Lola asked.
"I am not sure," I stated, "I think I need to do a couple of আরো tours. The army is all I know! I know Mark will try and get a job on base in the states. On the count that he is going to get married soon!"
"Is he your age," she asked curiously.
"Yep," I said.
"Wow, to get married at your age অথবা a বছর অথবা two older than me," she ব্যক্ত stunned.
"I guess, I see what Mark has and all I can think about it having that too," I said, "I want it so bad!"
"Really," she ব্যক্ত as it came out in a laugh.
"What," I asked confused, "is it bad to say I want a girlfriend? I want someone to প্রণয় me?"
"No, not at all," Lola said, "I have been trying way to hard to get people to প্রণয় me! And look what has all happened to me!"
"Everything that has happened to আপনি is not because আপনি are looking for someone to love," I stated, "You Lola, have the worst luck I have ever seen!"
"You're telling me," she ব্যক্ত laughing.
"Lola," someone called out.
"Seriously," she groaned, "I guess Horatio has sent out a crew to come find me!"
"Why would he do that," I asked confused.
"Because, he thinks I am suicidal! And I promise I am not," Lola said, "I have good job coming my way! I have been adopted দ্বারা someone who should have adopted me a long time ago! But better late then never!"
"Right," I ব্যক্ত as someone interrupted me.
"Lola," a man asked.
"Hello Robert," she ব্যক্ত with dread in her voice, "I am okay! No need to panic, আপনি know!"
"Well, Horatio is worried about you," Robert said, "and আপনি should not be talking to strangers!"
"Robert, this is Kyle! He is not a stranger," I said, "now প্রদর্শনী some respect to him!"
"Sorry, I am Robert," the man said, "thank আপনি for all আপনি do!"
"It is alright," I said, "no problem!"
"Come on Lola, Horatio wants আপনি home!"
"Fine," she grumbled, "bye Kyle! See আপনি later!"
"Bye Lola," I ব্যক্ত as I watcher her walk away.
