The Struggles of Life

     It was now the next day since I learned of my fathers death. I stood outside the recruitment office the afternoon sun high in the sky casting a large shadow from where I stood. I was trying to make the final decision. I was wondering if I should join up or not. I heard on the news that the Korean army was getting past the border and trying to take South Korea back to have all of Korea in their hands. Somehow that was enough for me to walk in and as soon as I did I saw sign up after sign up stations. One for each branch. Air Force, Marines, Rangers, etc. I then made my way to the recruitment for the Marines . When I got there the guy looked up and seemed to look me over.

    “You seem like you will do just fine. You here to join up with the Marines?” He asked. I nodded.

   “Yeah I am.”

   “How old are you?” He asked.

    “23.” I replied.

    “Alright you are legal to join.” The recruitment officer then gave me the papers I would need to fill out. Some of the papers I recognized, like a birth date form. Most of them had no clue what they were. I grabbed the papers and gave him a nod.  I decided to go to the nearest table and started to fill them out.

    After about a few hours of filling out the papers I was finally finished. I got up from the table with the huge stack in my hands. I then made my way to the officer and gave him the forms. He nodded and grabbed the stack in my hands.

   “Alright well we will get you when we are in a state of emergency. After that you will be sent to bootcamp and sent off to the frontlines.” He said with a small smile. For some reason it freaked me out. I just smiled and nodded as I turned to leave. I left the recruitment center in a hurry wanting to get back to the college. I know it sounds weird but I was mainly going back so that I can watch the Twilight saga with Scoots. Hell I think I was starting to gain feelings for her.

   I got into my car and drove to the college. Scoots didn’t know that I was doing this neither did any of the other kids. It took thirty minutes to get back to the college from the center. When I got back I saw that no one was there waiting for me. It was a good sign since it was saturday and there usually isn’t that many kids around outside the college.

     I pulled into a parking space and turned off my car. I got out of my car and made my way inside. I then went to my dorm and who other would be waiting there but Scoots herself. She was wearing purple earrings, an orange dress, and orange/purple high heels. I was surprised to see her in this. Where I was wearing my usual shorts and military fatigues T-shirt that my dad got me. Along with the hat that he got me with the marine symbol on it. She saw me and smiled warmly. I just swallowed hard as I made my way to her.

    “Hey Kevin how you doing?” She asked the smile not leaving her face.

    “I’m doing well.....why are you wearing that?” I asked pointing to the dress she had. It surprised me to see her like this.

    “Well, I thought that this was a date!” She laughed. I was surprised by this.

   “Well....I didn’t.” I said blushing a little. She just laughed at how my face turned red.

     “Oh so you didn’t know that this was a date even though you're the one that invited me to your dorm?” She said with a grin. I was just surprised at what she said. She thought that it was a date where I thought I was just being friendly.  Well, I honestly wouldn’t mind if it WAS a date. I just chuckled.

    “Well then. Wanna go and watch the saga we had planned or just stand out here?” I asked with a grin. She just giggled as she turned and walked into the open dorm room. I walked in behind her as I closed the door behind us. I quickly then popped in the “Twilight” disc and made my way to Scoots. I sat down beside her as the movie started. Now I don’t know the details (nor did I want to anyway). But while we were watching the movie Scoots scooted closer to me to the point of us almost touching.

    I didn’t seem to mind and while we were watching the movie I did the oldest trick in the book. I let out a yawn and stretch as I put my right arm around her on the couch. I could see her blush a little but she didn’t try to shy away. She just leaned against me which again surprised me a little. After awhile she placed one of her hands on my thigh and the other on my chest. I could feel my face get a little red as she did this. Then without warning she suddenly moved so that her face was right in front of mine our faces only a few inches from each other. I could see that her face was bright red as I could feel mine be as red as ever.

    “Um...... What now?” I asked. She just kept looking into my eyes as we stared at each other. Then she made the first move. She placed her arms around my neck and closed the small gap between our faces placing her lips against mine. I jumped at first my eyes wide with surprise that she did this. But then I just closed my eyes wrapping my arms around her sides as I kissed back. She then melted into the kiss and slowly pushed me onto the couch so she was ontop of me. The kiss deepened as I felt her push her tongue against my lips. I opened slightly to grant her entrance as she slid her tongue into my mouth. I met her tongue with mine as she let out a quiet moun. She tasted a little like one of those Fire Bombs you get at a candy store. Our tongues wrestled around in each others mouths. I then without knowing began to move my right arm down her body and right before I got to the rim of her dress she broke the kiss. She was panting a little her face still deep red. That’s when I realized what I was doing.

   “Not yet Kevin...I wanna wait.” She said moving her face down closer to mine her face an inch away. Every time any of us would talk our lips would brush across each other.

   “I’m sorry Scoots. I didn’t know what I was doing. I just got in the mood I guess.” I said. We didn’t even say another word as she dove back in for more. Our lips connected and immediately our tongues met and moved around each other. We only felt not wrestle at all as our tongues explored one another's mouths. She let out another quiet moan while we made out. Several minutes passed until she broke away again catching her breath as was I.

    “It’s getting late I think.” I said. Scoots then looked at the clock and nodded.

    “Yeah it’s 10:00 PM.” She said then looking down at me.

     “Wanna go to bed?” I said. She nodded with a blush getting off of me. I got up as we walked to my bedroom. She opened the door and I walked in closing it behind me. When I turned it back around I saw that Scoots was already on the bed laying down under the covers. I just walked over and crawled into bed with her. I got under the covers and she just quickly wrapped her arms around me holding me close in an embrace. I just wrapped my arms around her holding her close.

    “So, you know this doesn’t mean for any funny business got it?” She said. I just smiled.

    “Yeah I get it.” I replied. That’s when she suddenly pulled me into a deep kiss. Her tongue wasted no time entering my mouth. I did the same my tongue moving around in her mouth. The taste was the same as before. But without warning she pulled away just as things seemed to be getting good.
