Jonathan comes back from Iraq

His breathe was freezing in front of him as he pulled his coat tighter around his body. He had only been home for 3 days and his only thought was how he actually missed that desert heat. His body had gotten so adapted to the warm climate that 50 degrees was literally chilling him to the bone. He was walking alone through the parking lot of the local theater when he heard a car backfire. He jerked with a natural instinct and turned to face the direction in which it came. He shook it off and reminded himself that he was home now, and that everything was alright. It had been almost 2 years since he had been to a movie; he thought back to his last trip. How horrible it had gone when he made an advance on a blind date using that pathetic “I’m leaving for the war” routine somehow he thought that it would actually work. As he walked to the counter he recognized the face behind the glass. It was an old friend from high school. He wasn’t sure if it was who he thought she was. It had been quite a long time but he took a chance..

“Kylie?” he questioned himself. Looking at the young woman behind the glass.

“Yes” the girl had a confused look on her face, then it shifted to pure excitement.

“Oh my god, Jonathan, is that really you?” She instantly got up and ran around the front office and out into the cold night. Running up to him she threw her arms around him and held him tightly.

“So, how long has it been? 4 years?’’ she said looking him up and down.

“Sorry I didn’t recognize you, you look so different.” Her green eyes glanced over his body, she smiled at the thought of what exactly was under those clothes.

Her shift was over in five minutes and his movie didn’t start for another half hour. As he sat in the lobby of the theater waiting for her to finish, the thoughts of the girl from high school raced through his mind. “she sure had changed for the better” he said to himself. Her body had matured quite well she was only about 5’6, 120 lbs.. Her hair was still black but it was cut shorter than what it used to be, it was short in the back so it showed her slender neck and revealed a tattoo on the back but he couldn’t make out what it was. Her bangs fell in front almost covering her eyes, “a shame it is to cover those gorgeous eyes” he thought as she walked out of the work lounge. Kylie had changed clothes, and it took him off guard. She was wearing a tight white blouse with a black leather jacket, showing off her very attractive breasts. Her jeans were tighter than what she used to wear. Now, they hugged her waist and showed off her round voluptuous ass.

Kylie was watching him as she walked out of the bathroom, she couldn’t help but to imagine what he looked like without his clothes. She undressed him with her eyes, unbuttoning his black shirt slowly revealing his built chest and abs. She started unbuttoning his pants with her mind, when he spoke to her which shook her out of her lovely moment.

“So, is this movie supposed to be any good?” he didn’t really care about the movie anymore, his only thought was how he could possibly spend more time with her.

“I don’t know I haven’t seen it yet, believe it or not I don’t watch too many movies, I can’t find anyone to go with me.” Kylie said with a sad look on her face. He tried to figure out if she was being honest but he couldn’t quite tell. But he didn’t care at all.

They found seats that pleased them, they were in the back of the theater only two rows up from the top. It was a Thursday night and there wasn’t anyone at the movies. It was an almost new release and they had the whole theater to themselves. It couldn’t have worked out any better he thought to himself as he put his arm on the chair rest reluctantly laying his arm on hers. Kylie moved her arm slightly to give him more room but didn’t move it off completely.

They talked to each other for most of the previews mostly about what they had done after high school. The story turned to Jonathan being in the ROTC in high school and what happened to him after wards. He explained how he had been assigned to the 1st Marine Special Operations Battalion during Operation Iraqi Freedom.

He told her stories, some grim but mostly about the guys that he had met and the experiences that he had while there.
How he had lost a couple of close friends, when his emotions almost got the better of his he switched the subject to how she had been doing.

Kylie had enrolled at a University for 2 years, and was studying to be a school teacher but she lost all motivation. She explained how she had dated around for awhile but never really fell in love. She admitted to having a crush on him when they were in high school; but she was the little gothic girl and didn’t think he liked her. Kylie explained how she grew up, changed her image, and got a job doing something. She told him it started out as only being temporary but she had been there for about a year and couldn’t find anything else. kylie went on to tell him that she had moved out of her parents place and had a small apartment with two bedrooms and a bathroom just minutes from downtown. They talked for so long that before they realized it the movie was just ending.

When the movie concluded they got up and walked to the parking lot.
