just didn’t expect it to happen so soon.
    “Where to?”
    “Fort Carson. Fucking Colorado.”
    “But that’s good isn’t it? You’ll be closer to your family.”
    “I don’t want to be away from you. You’re all that matters to me, Skye. Come with me?” I looked at him. He wanted me to go with him? We had only been dating for a few months. Yes, I had strong feelings for him but my life was here. My family, my best friends and my job. I loved my job and had worked hard to get the position I had. I worked for a marketing firm, and I couldn’t imagine leaving my job.
    “Oliver, isn’t it too soon for us to take that step? I love you, but I am not sure I am ready to up and move with you yet.”
    He looked at me with a sad look on his face. I knew I was hurting him.
    “I knew you were going to say that. And I understand. We will make it work. I am not losing you.”
    “You won’t. I’ll fly out as much as I can and you can come see me on your four day weekends.” I promised. The mood lightened after we got over this bump, but I felt like this was just the beginning. I had a nagging feeling that it wouldn’t last. I didn’t want to lose him. I had become so dependent on him.
    Oliver and I spent as much time as possible with each other, dreading the day he would have to leave me. As much as we didn’t want it to come it finally arrived. Oliver had spent the night with me and we barely got any sleep. I was sure I wouldn’t be able to walk for days after all the sex we had had all night. We got up and showered together trying to be close to each for as long as possible. It broke my heart having to watch him leave. Oliver gave Faith a hug and shook Caige’s hand telling them to take care of me while he was gone. I had to fight my tears. I had been a crying mess for weeks. My love was about to get on a plane and be gone from me. We drove to the airport in silence not knowing how to handle the situation.
    “I will miss you so much, Oliver. Please don’t forget about me.”
    “Never! My every thought will be of you. Until I have you in my arms again.”
    I stayed behind him after we made it to the airport. He was in his ACUs because it made traveling easier, or so he said. I didn’t mind. He looked hot as hell, and I wanted to take them off of him and ride his cock all day long. I blushed at my thoughts. Oliver brought out a side of me that I didn’t know I had. We made it to the gate and I knew it was time to say see you later. I closed my eyes stalling from doing so. When I opened my eyes, I saw Oliver on one knee and the most beautiful princess cut diamond ring I had ever seen. It was simple, yet gorgeous. He knew I wasn’t big on jewelry. I gasped and threw my hand up to my mouth.
    “Skye, we only met six months ago. But sometimes you just know. I can’t imagine what it would be like without you in my life. I want to spend the rest of my life worshipping you and the ground you walk on. I love you with every beat of my heart. Will you marry me and become Mrs. Nelson?”
    Tears were streaming down my face as I wrapped my arms around him
    “Yes. Of course I will marry you! I can’t imagine my life without you in it either.”
    Applause erupted around us. Travelers had been watching our exchange.
    “Ugh. You two make me sick to my stomach.”
    We turned around to find Oliver’s best friend, Cody Edwards, standing there. They were in a unit together, and I don’t know why but I couldn’t stand him. He was an arrogant ass. I knew he didn’t like me either. I had overheard him telling Oliver he should leave me.
    “What are you doing here, Edwards?”
    “I just came to send you off. Have a great time in Carson and don’t do anything I wouldn’t do. We will make plans for me to fly out soon and have a guys’ weekend. I hear Carson’s party life is great.”
    I cringed at Cody’s words. He was trying to make me uncomfortable, and he was succeeding.
    “Yeah why not. Before you fly your ugly mug out
