    A Bride For The Soldier
    Joshua sat at the edge of his bed on the top bunk. It was just passed lunch time. Back home, his girlfriend would be waking up at this very moment. Her name was Hollie and she was three years younger than the 26 year old soldier. Hollie was a country girl, she didn’t get out much and had never had a serious boyfriend, just high school stuff. They had met online and although they hadn’t been on a date yet, Joshua liked to consider themselves boyfriend and girlfriend. He couldn’t wait to go see her on his holidays.
                  The soldier would be departing tomorrow, at oh eight hundred. He would board a little jet plane to take off from the French Peninsula, arrive in England, and then take the KLM back to America. He was nervous and excited to meet Hollie. Nervous, because his battalion mates said nothing but bad things about online dating. Excited, because he was looking for someone to settle down with and wed. And then, of course, there was her profile.
                  Hollie’s profile was a true diamond in the rough. He had gone through dozens of profile that just didn’t suit his fancy. When he finally clicked on Hollie’s profile, his eyes lit up. She was a country girl, originally from Nebraska, that had just moved to Wisconsin: his hometown. She loved everything about the farming life and was absolutely gorgeous, effortlessly gorgeous. She was fairly tall at 5 foot 7 and looked very strong, not in a gross body-building way, just toned. She had long wavy dark brown hair and chestnut eyes that shined of orange, green and brown all that once.
                  Joshua really liked her, he just knew that if they got to spend time together, they would fit perfectly like puzzle pieces. His military brothers did scare him though. He never showed fear, wouldn’t dare do such a thing, not on the battlefield, not behind the scenes. Words got to him though. What if Hollie didn’t really exist. Maybe she didn’t like farming. Did she really graduate from MIT, it felt like a stretch from life on the farm to Ivy Leagues. Hundreds of questions danced in his head and he didn’t like it one bit.
                  He didn’t want to think of the negative stuff though. He jumped off the bunk and set out to find his friends, Ralph and Mason. Josh didn’t have to look too far, he immediately head out to the cafeteria, they were the only ones left. His friends were always in the cafeteria, always. No, they weren’t overweight. No, they didn’t over eat. They were just always there, at the same table, all the time.
    “Hey guys” he said
    “Oh hey man, you excited to head out tomorrow?” asked Mason
    “You betcha! Couldn’t be more pumped.” Joshua truly was excited.
    “I don’t know man, you better not be thinking too much about that girl. And you better come down to see us!” Ralph said, he lived but a 45 minute drive from Joshua
    Joshua didn’t really want to talk about Hollie with the guys. He felt like letting them talk about her almost tainted the relationship and he wanted her to be held in a good light and all for himself.
    “Of course I’ll visit you Ralph. And you too Mase. What do ya say Ralph? Party at your place sometime?” He couldn’t help but think that he would want to invite Hollie to the party.
    “Frick ya man. Good idea, I’ll even let your little lady come” it was as if Ralph read into Joshua’s thoughts. Even so, Joshua didn’t like how they talked about her.
    “Alright boys, let's head to the dorms, shower up and get er packing!” said Mason in a mocking tone imitating their drill sergeant. The boys laughed, got up and headed out.
     
    The rest of the day went by in blurry, cloudy buzz. Joshua packed without even putting any thought to anything, like a robot programmed to put clothes in a box. By the time he was done packing, scrubbing down his bed, polishing his boots and his daily laundry duties it was
