My Captain

“I love Christmas, but really all this way for presents?”
I had spent the day in the local village, doing my Christmas shopping.
Living in Devon had its bad points, but the view from the roadside was amazing.
I just had to stop to look.
Snow, as far as the eye could see.
“It’s beautiful, isn’t it?” came a voice from beside me.
“Yes it is” I answered, turning to see the most sensual blue eyes.
“Hello” he said, “Captain James Nicholls”
“Dawn Faulks” I replied, shaking his hand.
Even with his gloves on, his hand felt unique.
“May I walk with you a while?” he asked nervously.
“Of course” I answered with a small smile.
“How long have you lived in Devon?” he asked as he took my shopping
“Only a few months” I replied.
“We moved here after my Mother died. Father couldn’t stay in Birmingham, to many memories”
“I’m so sorry about your Mother” he said with sorrow in his eyes.
“What about you?” I asked back
“My regiment has moved here. Something big is coming next year, but they won’t say what”
“I hope it’s nothing to bad” I said, sounding a little worried.
“I’m sure it will be alright”
“I pray that it will” I smiled.
As we reached the house, I turned to see his sensual eyes smiling at me.
“Thank You for the company” I said.
“You’re very welcome”
Handing me my bags back, “Can I walk with you tomorrow?” he asked blushing
“I would like that very much” I said.
“I will meet you here at 9am”
“Okay, Goodnight Captain Nicholls”
“Goodnight Miss Faulks”
