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 already dinner time. Joshua didn’t really want to go eat, if he ate it meant that he wouldn’t be able to chat with Hollie because she normally wasn’t online during the middle of the day. He normally talked to her everyday and hated when he wasn’t available.
Joshua quickly whipped out his laptop and typed a simple “have to go eat dinner, good night I will be home tomorrow xo-xo” and shut it off again. He hid it in the large outside pocket of his backpack and slid it under the bed. He dusted off the clothes he was wearing and went to the inspection lineup.
The inspector eventually went over to his bunker, kicked his backpack to conceal it completely from a bird’s eye view, nodded his head and walked away. Joshua quickly knelt over the bed and patted down his backpack to make sure his laptop was still in one piece. Sighing with relief, he walked towards the cafeteria, content.
He walked to the dining hall for dinner. He located the rest of his battalion at the back of the room and sat down between two guys he barely knew. Ralph and Mason were sitting a few seat away. Joshua just wasn’t in the mood for more talk about Hollie in their presence. He wanted to eat his dinner and rush back to the sleeping quarters in the hopes that she might be online.
Dinner went slowly. Every minute seemed to tick by as if it were ten. Joshua went from content to overly-annoyed within minutes, staring at the big clock, begging it to move faster. The food was mostly good, as far as military food went. They had legs of chicken that were more or less dry, but the rice was pretty flavorful. As soon as they were excused from the table, Joshua rushed to his bunk. Although he was an athletic soldier, he tripped over himself several times within the process.
He opened up his laptop, nestled himself under his covers, and logged onto his DateChat account. Hollie’s name was highlighted in green, she had to be online. He entered the chat room and sent her a chat request, she accepted.
Hey Hollie

Joshua woke up at 2 am the next morning. He couldn’t believe that the day had come but didn’t really have the energy to be excited, he was exhausted. He crawled out of his bed and stumbled to the floor, almost not making the jump. He heaved his backpack over his shoulders and left the barracks.
A guard let him out of the hall to the dimly lit surroundings of the base. It was a little chilly but Josh didn’t mind.
“The airport this morning, soldier?” Asked the guard, routinely.
“Yes, Sir” answered Joshua politely.
The guard brought him to a black car. He told the driver that he had another soldier to bring to the airport. Joshua thought that he just meant that more soldier had gone earlier, but when he was just about to fling himself into the vehicle, he realised that two other men were already sitting in the back and one had shotgun up front.
He squeezed through the door and awkwardly placed his backpack between his legs. The cold air was replaced by hot, musty air that smelt a little like old socks. The ride to the airport was extremely uncomfortable and stiff - there was no conversation between the souldiers. Joshua realised that he hadn’t even met these men before, and that there must have been even more workers on the base grounds than he had thought.
When they arrived to the airport he was practically pushed out of the car. He got to the terminal and realised he really didn’t even know where he was going. When Joshua came down to France, he was with a bunch of other men and just followed along. In fact, he had an important question that he needed to ask someone but was scared that it would be beyond your average stupid tourist question. Josh didn’t know if he was supposed to go down a level to arrivals or up a level to departures. You see, he figured that he was arriving to the airport, but departing from the country, so technically it was ambiguous… to him at least.
After a few minutes of pacing around he took a moment to take his ticket out of his pocket and had a look at it. Level 3, gate 27, departing at 4:30 a.m. He had two hours and assumed that that would be enough time to go through customs. He went up to the departures desk and checked in his backpack. He didn’t have a carry-on, so he assumed that he would whiz right by security. But of course, he was wrong.
Joshua was wearing his military fatigues. It’s really all the clothes he had. For some reason, his attire didn’t give off a sense of security and protection like it ought to, but of potential danger. He was searched twice over and swabbed for drugs. He didn’t like the feeling at all. One security guard gave him an understanding look, as if to apologize for the other’s tomfoolery.
When he finally got through the gates, he had 45 minutes left before boarding. He looked out the window, his little biplane looked a little rickety, and he hoped that it wouldn’t have any trouble getting him to London. From there, it would be smooth sailing on the KLM.
Bored, he got in line to a french café. The line up winded back through seven whole gate lengths. He was at gate 27 and the café itself was right in front of the twentieth gate. It was worth though, he thought, as on his way up he had the most amazing iced coffee and he wanted another one.
Forty minutes passed and Joshua was actually scared he just might miss his flight. He looked around, back at his gate, with sweaty hands. He hoped that he would hear the stewardess’ voice on the intercom when she made the calling for boarding over all the crying babies, buzzing machines and the constant hum of talking and shouting.
He finally got up to the desk and ordered his coffee. And then, as if she was crushing his biggest dreams, the lady working at the counter said:
“Sorry, ice machine is out of order.”
Upset and aggravated, he took an extremely overpriced three euro water bottle and went back to his gate. All that for nothing.
Joshua boarded the plane and had a safe flight to England. He finally got his iced coffee. After just a few minutes, he was able to board his connecting flight. The KLM was much larger than any plane he had ever been in. He just had an economy ticket but there was enough legroom and he didn’t feel like her was sandwiched between his seat-neighbours.
He landed at 7 a.m, States time. The good thing about time zones was that when he returned it was as if it had only taken him a few hours to travel back. He didn’t feel too tired, which made Joshua feel much less anxious. When he had first booked his flight, he thought he might be too tired for his date with Hollie which devastated him.
This date meant everything to him. He had it perfectly planned out, minute to minute, and could not afford for anything to put a stake in his spokes. Joshua knew that if he executed his plan to a T, it would be smooth sailing for the remainder of their 5 weeks together. He wanted Hollie to fall in love with him, he wanted her to say yes when he would propose. As much as one could think that the soldier was going too fast, he intended to propose during the vacation, or as soon as he returned next.
