Chapter Six

Cam has been going in early and coming home late. It’s always like this before he deploys. There are always extra meetings, training, and everything else. I have been spending my days writing and with the past two days of sudden inspiration, I’m almost done with the book. I need to write a few more scenes today then it’s off to the editor. I have been drowning under this deadline and I literally have less than a week to edit and publish the stupid thing. That’s the life of a writer though. You spend months saying you’ll write when all that really means is that you’ll spend a few hours on Facebook and only write one chapter. Don’t even get me started on Pinterest. That is where days go to die. Once you go onto that site you get sucked into their blackhole and don’t resurface for hours.

The deployment is looming over me though. The guys leave Friday afternoon, and today is Tuesday. I am going to barely see Cam this week, if yesterday is any indication of the rest of the schedule for the week. I can’t imagine how the other girls do it with the kids. I think that’s half of the reason that I avoid the pregnancy topic like the plague. I can barely hold myself together when Cam is away, I don’t think I could take care of kids too. We were just married anyway and as much as people are forcing the topic in our faces we are young and I’m not trying to rush anything. I love Cam and eventually I would love to have kids but it’s definitely not something I see happening in the near future.

I hear the door open and look down at the clock, 8:00pm. Cam walks into the living room and looks like he’s been hit by a truck. “Hey, babe, you okay?”

He nods as he plops down onto the couch. “I’m just exhausted. It’s been non-stop meetings and strategic training since we found out we were deploying. I swear I barely had time to choke down my lunch today. The good thing is that I’m thinking it will be a short trip.”

I breathe out a sigh of relief before joining him on the couch. “Can I do anything for you?”

He looks over at me and smirks.

I shove him and laugh. “Is that all you ever think about?”

“Yea.”

That’s all he says. Well, at least he’s honest. I have to say that it’s definitely an ego boost that he can’t keep his hands off of me. I love knowing that he always wants me, that he is always ready. “How about we start with something like food to build up your energy?”

I head into the kitchen searching through the cabinets for something quick to make. With Cam’s unpredictable schedule, I didn’t make anything ahead of time. I preheat the oven and pull out some stuffed chicken breasts. I picked these up just for nights like this because they are quick and easy.
