In Love With the Military Man

It had been two long years since I'd been to the only place that I'd ever called home. I was going to see my father. So much looked the same as we drove up the driveway to the two-story home I remembered loving so much. As I knocked on the door, I thought about how I couldn't wait to see Rosie. She was the housekeeper, the one who had raised me before the divorce, and the only one that ever truly cared about me. When the door swung open, I couldn't believe my eyes. In Rosie's place stood the most gorgeous guy I had ever seen in my life. He had dark brown hair, blue eyes, and huge muscles. I stood speechless, unsure of what to do or say. “You must be Princess Carrie,” he said. “And you would be who?” I asked nervously. “Really?” he asked, as he narrowed his eyes at me. “Your father didn't tell you.” “Um,” I let out, as I moved from foot to foot. “I'm Kyle,” he said, but I didn't respond, so he continued. “Our parents are married.” That was the beginning of the summer that would change my life forever, and it was all because of him, the guy at the door. Two years later, I found myself standing in front of that very same door, along with everything I owned. I thought I was moving in for good, but when I quickly figured out that things there weren't as I thought they would be, I found myself moving again. Then something happened that changed my life forever, and again, it was all because of him, the guy at the door. I made a decision, knowing in my heart that I was doing the right thing. Then I got a phone call that turned my world upside down. Had I really made the right choice, or had I made the biggest mistake of my life?
