Chapter 1: Last Night before Shipping Out.
My big brother is a pilot, a captain in the Air Force. He'd done a six month tour in Saudi Arabia. When he came back his wife was two months pregnant. Apparently she'd been banging her boss at the insurance agency where she worked and gotten knocked up. The divorce was turning absolutely ugly.
I'd never liked Heather. I'd always thought she was a conniving bitch, but David worshiped the ground she walked on. She was a knockout, a real 10. Tall, fashion model beautiful, nice ass, nice tits- and she knew it. I knew she was a flirt. When I was 18 she'd come on to me even after they'd been married, but I never told him that. I don't think he'd have believed me if I did.
So that's how, a few years ago, he came to live with Amy and me for almost a year, while the divorce wound its way between lawyers and a judge, while the joint assets were evaluated, and while their house was put on the market.
We had a home on the outskirts of the Sonoma wine country: no kids, an extra bedroom, and a pool with jacuzzi. It was only a 45 minute drive to Travis AFB where he was stationed so it was perfect.
He's five years my senior, a scholar and a real jock. Football, baseball, straight A's in high school and an Air Force Academy graduate. Rumor was he was a real stud but he swears he was a virgin until he got married. He'd been at our wedding the year before- just before he went to The Gulf- but the last time I'd seen him before that was when I'd been accepted at Berkeley; he'd just made captain then so the event was really more about him than me. Everyone was really happy and proud of both of us. That was also when his cougar wife came on to me.
Amy and I met at Berkeley in a chemistry lab our sophomore year. Not quite love at first sight but by our senior year we'd moved in together and knew we'd get married after graduation. She's more cute than beautiful, and certainly not a knockout like Heather. Still: tall, slim with a sensuous, curvy athletic build. Long legs, tight abs, a firm bouncy bust, and shoulder length auburn hair. I guess the best way to say it is: she rarely wears a bra and is a knockout in a little black dress.
David had his good days and bad. I could always tell when he'd been flying because those were his good days. Office days, not so much. And days of depositions, hearings, and conferences? Well, they were rare but those were the bad days. I usually got home a little later than him and I could tell what kind of a day he'd had by where he was. Sitting at the kitchen table on his laptop, still in his uniform, meant an office day that would continue for several more hours. Sitting in front of the TV watching a sitcom or something equally mindless meant a bad day. Swimming in the pool or sitting in the jacuzzi was a good day. If there was a glass of chardonnay at hand, it had been a really good day.
The sun was just settling in behind the Sonoma foothills when I got home. Amy was probably just finishing her evening classes and maybe starting home. David was in the jacuzzi with a glass of wine set on the coping. Soft jazz- Miles Davis, Jim Hall, that kind of cool- was drifting around the patio. He looked at ease, almost in meditation.
"What's going on, bro?" I said. "You sure look comfortable."
He looked up over his shoulder and smiled. "Hey Michael! It's a beautiful sunset, don't you think?" He took a sip of wine, leaned back, and let the foaming water bubble up around him. "I sign the final papers with Heather next Tuesday, then ship off to Japan that Friday for a two month TDY. They'll probably station me at Hickam after that so I'll be out of your hair pretty quick. Like, tonight is my last night here. I'll be in bachelor's officers quarters for the week until I leave."
I gave him a fist bump. "Congrats, bro, you deserve it, but I gotta tell ya Dave, Amy and I are gonna miss you. And so quick!"
"Yeah, I know, but that's the job, right?"
I was a little crushed. We knew he was going to get re-stationed at some point, but not this quick. No time for a farewell party or anything. All I could do was nod. "Hawaii, huh. Does that come with oak leaves?"
He nodded and took a sip. "Yep, major. And I have to tell you It has been fun being here. Sure beats on-base officer quarters. You two are something special, " he smiled. "So why don't you grab your trunks and come on in."
"I'll be down in a minute," I replied as I turned to head back into the house to change.
Just as I was coming back down the stairs, Amy came in the front door carrying a stack of books and papers. She looked a little harried but smiled when she saw me.
"Looks like you've had a busy day today, lover. David says he's having a great day today."
"Hey Michael." She gave me a quick kiss and set her load down on the table. "Yeah it's been a little crazy, but what's up?"
"I'll let him tell you. Go put on your Cal suit and join us." I replied. "The wine will be poured..."
She smiled. "I've got a ton of homework and papers to grade but, sure, I'll be down in a few."
I settled into the hot turbulent water and took my first sip as David poured his second glass.
Amy came down, her hair loose around her shoulders and wearing her royal blue Cal Bear string bikini with brown paws covering her nipples- and not much more- and a bear's snarling maw and red tongue covering her privates. She'd gotten it the spring we graduated; it was almost nothing and it showed off everything- and it was obvious she'd waxed. Up until tonight I'd been the only one to see her in it. David tried hard not to look but he failed quite miserably. His eyes followed her every step as she came down to join us. Since he'd moved in, he'd mostly seen her in her usual garb: tee shirt and jeans with her hair pulled back in a pony tail. I don't think he realized what a beautiful body she had.
She sat between us, to my left, and put one arm behind each of us. "So what's this great news, David?"
He told her the news, his eyes wandering up and down Amy's body as he spoke; she didn't ignore it. We all made a toast and turned to small talk. A little about Heather- but not much. A little about Amy's classes. A little about engineering a freeway overpass I was managing. A little about Japan and Hawaii. Then a lot about flying. To listen to David talk about flying was to hear a poet share a world of magic and celestial plains. We could listen to him for hours.
The sky had turned from ruby red to brazed copper to black when I got out of the jacuzzi to use the restroom and get a third bottle of wine; we were all a little toasty. I'd also scrounged around for some fruit, cheese, and bread, something we could pass off as dinner
When I came out again David was running his fingers through Amy's auburn hair, pushing a strand behind her ear. I don't think he saw me. They were looking deep into each others eyes. Something was happening and I wasn't sure exactly what it was or whether I liked it or not. I set the tray of food down on the coping; that sort of broke whatever spell there had been, but not entirely.
I stepped down into the water and poured us all a little more wine. "I think we better get a little something in our stomachs before we get crazy," I said, looking at Amy. The lyrics came to mind: Her eyes seemed to have the mist from the smoke of a distant fire.
"Thank you sweetheart," she replied. She picked up a small bunch of grapes, tilted her head back and pulled one off with her teeth, so sensual, so sexy. We all laughed. "You know, as happy as I am for David, with the promotion and all," she continued, talking to me but looking at him, "it's kind of sad that he'll be leaving. We don't have time to do anything fun before he goes. Anything special."
"Yeah, I thought the same thing. It'll be kinda lonely here, just the two of us."
"Maybe we can think of something?" she smiled, her eyes turned down into the water. The mist was still in her eyes.
His hand came up from the water to pick up his glass. That's when I realized it had been sitting on her thigh. It was also obvious he had an erection and that Amy had been stroking him beneath his suit.
