Chapter Twelve: Colton

The plans for Karena’s visit came together quickly, without any major snags, and three days after we’d made the agreement to give our relationship a two week, trial by fire, she was scheduled to come out the following Monday, and I’d purchased her plane ticket. I was still shocked by the breakneck pace of everything, but with each day marked off my calendar, my excitement and eagerness grew.

All that was left was to break the news to my buddies.

And hope that neither one of them checked me into a mental institution.

I made plans to meet Lucas and Miles at our normal bar, Duke’s, for a drink after a long day of training. I was the first to arrive, and was holding down a table in the corner, by the old school, neon jukebox, nursing my first beer, when they came through the front door. They spotted me right away and headed over, stopping to exchange brief greetings with a few other soldiers along the way.

Miles got to the table first and slid onto the bench seat across from me. “Hey, Hawk.”

Lucas crashed into the seat next to Miles, automatically shoving him over without a word. Miles rolled his eyes, but scooted down to make room. Lucas grinned over at me. “Damn, Hawk. I feel like you’ve been MIA forever. What’s new?”

I grinned. “A lot, actually.”

Lucas raised an eyebrow at me as Miles signaled at Lucy, our normal waitress, gesturing for her to bring over a couple more beers. “Is this about your internet girl?”

Miles snapped to attention. “Internet girl? Bro, we got more than enough girls here, in real life. You don’t need to get tangled up in that pay by the minute shit.”

“She’s not a cam girl.” Lucas roared with laughter, throwing his head back. I rolled my eyes and began to launch into my defense, but waited until Lucy had dropped off the beers Miles had ordered from across the room. “Shit, Miles.”

Miles looked from Lucas—who was still shaking with uncontrollable laughter—and then back to me, his expression a mix of amusement and confusion. Lucas shook his head, smiling like a fool, and slapped Miles’ arm. “No, man, I told you about this already. Hawk met someone from his online dating ad.”

Recognition dawned on Miles face, followed up by a big smile. I shot a dark look at Lucas, wondering just how he’d framed the situation in his explanation. “Her name is Karena, and you two better get all your shits and giggles out now, because in a few days, she’s going to be here, and you’ll have to keep it together. I won’t have you two knuckleheads scaring her off.”

The remnant of Lucas’ smile dropped out of sight. “Here?”

“For two weeks,” I replied. I was still annoyed with the teasing, but couldn’t hold back a wide smile at how good it sounded. Two weeks with Karena, all to myself.

It was going to be perfect.

“Well, shit, that was fast,” Lucas commented, reaching for his beer. “Guess this is serious, then?”

I held up my hands, palms out to my friends.
