New Assignment
I awoke to find Highway gone. I lay in the warmth of the wooly hides we had shared previously, his scent still lingering upon the them. I rolled over burying my face in the hide breathed in deeply, bringing back to my mind the incredibly sensuous moment we had shared. Beside the made up bed of wool, lay a note and some Talus wild flowers.
I picked up the note and read: “My dearest Ebe, I hope you have slept well into the morning, and the sun is shining warmly and bright upon you, as you have shown on me. I wish I could have been there when you first opened your eyes from your slumber to look into your green eyes and incredible smile. I wanted terribly to wake you and shower you with warm kisses, but I could not. I am not that selfish of a man. I am content to remember you beauty as you sleep, and your fire, like last night when you are not”.
“I’ve been recalled to the Kessel system to once more fight for the Empire. I really hate to go this time, but I cant very well tell my Commander to shove it, and my commander told me not to waste anytime getting to my ship. I sat for a long moment before heading out to just look at you once more. Ebe, you are the most beautiful woman in the galaxy, and I am so grateful to have you in my life. I will fight hard to come back to you so that we may spend more time together. Maybe some time that doesn’t involve so much skinning and gutting, before the fun really starts *wink*. With all my love Highway”.
Smiling, I folded the letter, and with a light kiss upon it placed it in my pack. I rolled out from under the blanket, and stretched. I ached a bit, pretty sure it was from the hunting, and not something else, though the exercise after the hunt was very energetic. *Smile*.
Busying myself with camp duties, stowing the tent, packing up the chairs, and bedding, I finally sat down to re-hydrate an army issue food pack and have some breakfast, when my comm. went off. Checking the comm., I saw that it was a text message from Captain Doyle, a weasel of a man, whom I’ve had to deal with before. I read that I was to report to a Lieutenant Vash, on Tatooine in Bastine. There was nothing in the message detailing anything pertaining to the mission just the standard gobbly gook used for routing the message to me. I sent a reply stating I would get there as soon as I could, and finished my breakfast. “Girl” I thought to myself, “I guess your back in the army now”.
