Change Of Plan In Your Dreams
What was once a beautiful, peaceful smile has now turned into that of slight annoyance and a hint of fear. Isabella knows me far better than any other person in my life; if there is one person that knows that I am up to seven shits of no good, then it will be her.
And it is the very her that has just caught me out…if she has not caught me out hours ago.
So it is with great hesitation, and let me tell you, this Marine only ever hesitates and fears when it comes to his wife, but yes, I am fumbling for the words to tell her of the next great idea that I have come up with this time. Yet not an idea, more of a purpose.
With a very confident smile, I plan my approach well before I execute, for I am within arm's length, and this girl is pissed, yet, "Boo, I am not going to join the Raiders anymore."
There is a sigh of relief that sets over her body while the words comfort the tension that has build up in the room. And while she relishes in this thought an

The Marine Next Door II All I Need Is The Air I Breathe
…Isabella POV…This morning when I woke up, you had already left for training with the boys. I so wished that you just had stayed one little while longer so that we could figure this thing out that is hanging in the air between us.How is it that there is always something throw in our way of happiness?Yes, being a Marine brings you joy, but can you not see that just wanting to be your wife is something that I also crave. I love being the wife of a Marine, but between you and me…I love being just a normal wife the most.And what I would want the most is being for us to be normal parents. I would love for my child to have a dad, not the dad that is the Marine.I know that if I say this, then I am being selfish and what I am about even to ask, yet, even more, say is perhaps being worse than plain damn nasty.As you left this morning, I began to think about the way things were when we first met. We were so much in love; the

The Marine Next Door II Knocked With A Bang
I am sitting with my back against the door, just having read a note that Isabella left."If you are reading this, it means I am not here."Well, ya that I can damn well see.And what else I can damn well do, is not breathe.So I crumple up the note and toss it into the bin. My heart is ripped away in shatters as I burst into tears. But then behind me, I hear a loud…BANG.…as someone is kicking at the door. Well, I hope that they have a good reason for banging around here at this time in the morning.So as I take my time to go to answer the door, the banging only but becomes more persistently. Now I have no idea if I should be crying or be mad at the present moment. With one last wipe from the sleeve of my shirt, I dry the tears that are still threatening to come.Then, slowly but utterly angry, I fling the door open."What do you…Huh? Why are…?" my words only but mumble as I try to make
The Marine Next Door II Caught In A Lie
It is with great disbelief and a rather dropped jaw that I am looking as Isabella as that word comes from those lips. Now I do know that I can be rather absent-minded at the best of times; if it is not about the Marines, well, then I am not fairly interested. But I will for certain remember if I had a mother-in-law somewhere in existence.So not trying to sound too hysterical, I shove another pancake down my throat before saying as calmly as possible, "Boo, your parents are dead, or did I miss something?""Well…"Ya, and that is where I am about to hear a story."They might perhaps still be alive."Still trying to remain calm, I take a deep breath and slowly, in the back of my head, count down to ten, "Is it perhaps, or is it for real?""It is for real. My father has passed away, but my mom is still alive."And that is me choking on the last of the pancake that I was still calmly chewing on. I nearly topple over as there is a s
The Marine Next Door II Evil Mother-In-Law
The air was thick with the tension between us. Our eyes were hot with held-back tears; brows burdened with unresolved anger. Our annoyance filled the space between us. Disenchantment and creeping doubt edged us closer to a cliff of despair.On a good day, love can be challenging.Why do we keep finding ourselves in these trenches of disaffection and dysfunction?Life's evolutions would throw us off balance, disrupt our "normal," and make us uncomfortable and distracted.We are continually growing apart instead of instead of growing closer.To love, truly love, is to give, even when it is hard—especially when it is hard.When that reservoir of resentment is so full that just a drop of irritation made it spill over and saturate us with anger, we had to be stronger than the flood and to give more.And when we had nothing left to give, this is when we had to forgive.And when we did, we began to build trust again
The Marine Next Door II The Pleasure Of Payback
…Isabella POV…I can hardly contain my laughter as I see the expression on Clayton's face as he very hesitantly makes his way over to the front door. All the way, with each step he takes, he softly whispers."I am going to kill you, Isabella Jackson."I only but shake my head and throw my hands in the air.I am pleading complete innocence.But yet watching him gently reach for the knob, taking almost and ten agonizing seconds to fling the door open, I finally burst out in an uncontrollable fit of laughter.He looks at me with much relief on his face as he is staring at the courier guy that is busy handing him a package. As he slams the door behind him, he walks back to me with utmost confidence."You can be glad that was not Betty.""Soldier, she is mom to you now.""Not the fuck; I am not calling that old bag mom. She has been giving me nothing but shit for years, and let us not forget about that god
