ALEX
On the day I met the love of my life, I slept through my alarm, spilled
coffee down the front of my uniform, forgot to bring running shoes, and had
to run five miles in my boots, all before noon. By the end of the day, I was
spent. All I wanted to do was go home and watch TV in my skivvies with a
six-pack of beer in arm’s reach.
Just as I climbed into my truck, I remembered that I had agreed to be the
wingman for my coworker Sean’s double date. I didn’t know the guy well,
but since we’d be working together and potentially deploying together, I
hadn’t felt like I could blow him off when he’d asked.
Most of the other
guys in our platoon were in serious relationships and couldn’t help him out
when he’d gone around begging for the favor. I brought up Sean’s contact
information in my phone and called him as I pulled out of the parking lot.
“Haven’t you been on a date with this chick before?” I asked as soon as
Sean answered his phone.
“Hello, Alex,” he laughed. “Long time no see.”
“I didn’t catch you before you left the building,” I replied. “Haven’t you
guys hung out already? Why am I going to this thing?”
“Yeah, I couldn’t wait, so we met up on Wednesday for drinks. I guess
she’d already made plans with her friend for tonight, though, and she didn’t
want to cancel.”
I opened my mouth to back out of the whole thing when Sean spoke
again.
“You gotta come. This girl, she’s so hot,” he said. I could practically hear
him smile through the phone.
“And you haven’t sealed the deal yet.”
“I never kiss and tell,” he lied. “But no. I like her and she’s not the type.
Wants to hang out for a while first.”
“Hang out or date?” I asked, switching the phone to Bluetooth so I could
drive. “Because there’s a difference.”
“There is?” he asked.
“You’re kidding, right?” I flipped on my blinker and headed toward the
front gate of the fort. Living in town instead of on base had a lot of
advantages, but the biggest disadvantage was that it took me twenty
minutes to get home every day. I knew it could be worse, but I hated
spending any time driving around. We had only a certain number of minutes
on Earth, and I didn’t want to waste them.
“Yeah, man, I’m kidding,” Sean said. “We’re dating. I’m taking her out,
not inviting her over for China Buffet takeout and zombie killing on the
Xbox.”
“Killing zombies sounds like the perfect date to me, but it probably
wouldn’t go over well with most women.”
“Meet us at six, all right?” Sean said, ignoring my comment. “And
shower, yeah? You smelled like ass today.”
“I forgot fucking deodorant,” I replied. It was one of the hazards of
sleeping through my alarm.
“Right,” he said. “Shower. Six o’clock at the sushi and steak place.” He
hung up before I could reply.
“Shit,” I muttered, dropping my head back against the headrest. It looked
like I was going out tonight after all.
