Tommy

Same old responsive Ali. Same old horny me, alive to her every move and every word. Same old us, still can’t get enough of the taste and touch and smell of each other.

I’m not sorry. It was everything I dreamed of while we were apart, whether that was in San Diego or Afghanistan or in a VA hospital: our hearts and bodies together. I’m only sorry I didn’t trust it and come home sooner. The Corps was my career and my family until it just wasn’t anymore, and I wasn’t sure I could trust anything ever again.

I wait until I’m calm again, the post-coital overload that caused twenty seconds of tears finally leaving me. It was so much, and it was so long in coming. I roll to the side, facing her. She turns to me, and I lean to kiss her face. We’re still breathing hard.

“Don’t think I’m not still mad at you for not calling me,” she says, but her voice is tender.

This girl. No, this woman. She can slay me with a glance.

“You could have found me if you’d looked,” she adds. She starts tracing the eagle and globe tattoo on my right pec with her forefinger. “I missed you.”

I missed her too. I tried finding my family in the Corps, but it was never complete.

“Tell me again why you didn’t call. And don’t say you didn’t have my number. I was all over Facebook.”

“I don’t have a Facebook account.”

“You don’t know anybody with one? You wouldn’t get one to look for me?” She’s moved on to trace the Riley family crest on my upper arm.

I inhale and exhale, long and slow, trying to let go of the tension her questions have raised. It’s not working. I was alone too long.

“You didn’t look for me either,” I point out. “You didn’t tell your mom to look out for letters from me. You didn’t write me back. I put my address and phone number on every damn one of those envelopes.”

She sits up, and her beautiful breasts bounce. “I didn’t get those letters. How can you blame me for that?”

The truth is, her mom is unreliable. We’ve both always known it. Sunshine was just the only certain way I knew of getting hold of my Ali. “You tell me what I should have done, then.”

“I just said! Facebook. Johns Hopkins student directory. Mutual friends at Rose Bay High School. Something.”

I sit up too. “This is stupid. Are you gonna be mad at me, or are you gonna be glad I found you?”

She frowns. “Both. We’ve lost so much time that we could have been together, Tommy!”

“You wanted me to leave the Corps?”

“We could’ve been in touch. I wouldn’t have wasted my time on other guys, and I wouldn’t have been so disappointed in them.”

My blood is suddenly boiling. “Other guys?” Ali glares at me and crosses her arms. I get a whiff of the smell of our sex rising from the sheets, and I’m so angry I can’t talk right.
