In the quaint chocolate box
English Village of Mornington-By-Mere, which was the beating heart of the
Finchbottom Vale, stood the Old Mill Inn which was the beating heart of the
village, and Twenty year old plumber, David
Cooper, sat in the pub drowning his sorrows because he was missing his
girlfriend Sharon Taylor.
The last time he’d seen her was when he
waved her off at the Nettlefield Barracks wearing the combat fatigues of the
Downshire Light Infantry as they left on deployment to Brunei for jungle
operational training and from there to Canada for battle training on the prairies of Alberta.
A three month absence which was passing
agonizingly slowly, for him anyway.
They skyped occasionally, more so when she
reached Canada, not so much in Brunei due to the remoteness of the jungle
bases.
They also exchanged email, which was also
problematic from Brunei, but what she did do was to send him little video
messages, which she would record and send to him from her phone when she could
get a signal.
David really looked forward to getting them
and the first thing he did when he got up in the morning was to check his
phone.
One morning however there was nothing, and
there had been nothing for two days, and as a result he was very low.
He was counting the days until she was home
again, and as of that moment there were only four days to go.
Just four days until he could hold her and
touch her again, but still he was disappointed not to get a message, which was
why he was drowning his sorrows in the Old Mill Inn but he went home before he
drank too much and had an early night.
The next morning he was disappointed again
when he woke up and found no message from her and went off sulkily to have a
shower.
All of a sudden when he returned and began
to dress for the day his phone vibrated on the table, so he picked it up and
held his breath before he looked.
It was from her and it was a video message
and when it began he gasped so he put his phone down and picked up his tablet
so he could see her on a bigger screen.
She was in a hotel room sitting on a sofa
with a large silk dressing gown on smiling into the camera.
“This is for you darling” she said and let
the silk robe fall away off her shoulders and he could see her lovely figure in
her black lingerie.
He assumed the hotel was in Canada because
of the décor, but he wasn’t completely sure and to be honest he didn’t really
care because
Sharon then started cavorting around in front
of the camera in a very provocative manner while still maintaining eye contact
with the lens, so he would know it was all for him.
David was enthralled by her display and
couldn’t take his eyes off of her.
After five minutes of watching the sexy
little soldier she smiled broadly and rushed over to the laptop.
“I really miss you” she said and smiled
again and then she got really close to the screen and whispered
“I love you” and kissed the screen and then
she was gone.
“Wow that was incredible” he said “and she
loves me”
Sharon had always resisted saying it before,
he knew that she did, but she never said it, since the first time.
When he said it to her she would reply “me
too” but she never initiated it.
He sat on the bed for about ten minutes after
the show ended his phone vibrated again.
“What now?” he said “I don’t know if I can
cope with another video”
But it wasn’t a message it was a phone call
from her sexy little soldier.
“Hi Soldier” he said
“Hello darling” Sharon said “Did you get my
message”
“Oh yes” he replied
“Do you think I’m really slutty?” she asked
“No, I think you’re really sexy” David said
“Did you like it?”
“Are you kidding me, I loved it” he replied
“Good, because I’m outside” Sharon said
“Outside where?”
“Outside on your doorstep” she said
“What? You’re here now?”
“Yes” she replied and he rushed downstairs
to the door and prayed it wasn’t a prank
But when he opened the door there she was,
his beautiful Sharon, and she was wearing a dress.
“Well I can’t see you anywhere” he said “there
is a really fit bird in a dress but I can’t see a soldier”
“Shut up and kiss me” she said so he duly
obliged and she held him tightly.
“What are you doing here? You didn’t say you were
coming home” he said
“You didn’t ask” she replied
“No I didn’t,” he acknowledged “but that’s because you said you weren’t
coming back for another four days”
“Change of plans” she said “and I have one
month’s leave”
“A month? That’s fantastic” he exclaimed
“what’s the catch”
“Why does there have to be a catch” she
retorted defensively
“There always is” he said “so where’s your
next posting?”
“Cyprus” she replied and he thought that
wasn’t too bad and then she added “for 12 months”
“12?” he said sadly
“Yes” she replied “But you can come and
visit me out there and I can send you more videos”
“Well you paint a very attractive picture”
he said “you in the flesh in the sunshine and regular videos of my sexy little
soldier”
