Synopsis:
Jax
I was born and bred to be the man I am today. My father and his father were both graduates from The United States Naval Academy in Annapolis. Both went on to become helicopter pilots. Both had seen plenty of action. Both had met and caused devastation. Both men, who I respect more above all, had served and protected the United States and her people honorably for decades.
My best friend, William Cruz, who attended the academy with me, had flown beside me, had lived the same life as I had and shared the same ambitions in life, was gone now. This was not part of the plan. Will and I were supposed to have each other’s backs, support each other and never let anything supersede our bond.

I sat on Norfolk Beach needing to feel close to him on the anniversary of his death. It was a beautiful day in May and I was cutting class. I had done the same every year since he passed.
Jaxson Irons was only supposed to be in Pensacola for a year. But now three years later I still hadn't heard from him. I saw a man running down the beach and I knew immediately who it was.
Jaxson didn't respond the way I had dreamed he would. He told me we would catch up someday soon. I stood and watched until he was gone.
Thump, thump. I placed my hand on my chest as I felt my heart beat again for what felt like the first time in three years. Thump, thump. I felt the blood moving quickly through my body. Its heat once again present. Thump, thump. I looked up at the sky and let out a breath. A breath that I had been holding forever. Thump, thump.
I felt tears fall down my face as I raised my hands in the air and laughed out loud. Just then the clouds parted for the first time in forever. I saw the sun smiling down on me.

Excerpt
Excerpt
“Did he adore you?”
“What?” she gasped.
“The husband, the father, my head
in a scrapbook. Did that guy adore you?”
“Hell yes, he did and he was nice,
too. He was caring and would never have laughed at me.”
“Never?” I tickled her ribs and
she laughed.
“No, not ever.”
“And Joel knows this how?”
“He found it when he was helping
me unpack at my apartment.”
“You brought it with you to
college? Your little girl scrap book?” I joked.
“It was my dream book and yes, I
did, you big jerk.”
“Was he pissed when he opened it?”
“What do you think?”
“I think I would have shredded
it.”
“Well he asked me to toss it and I
told him no.”
Again I laughed and this time she
did, too.
“Flat Jax.”
I smiled, “In that book of yours,
did—flat Jax?”
She bit her lip and laughed, “Yes,
flat Jax.”
“Did he do all the cooking?”
“He did,” she grinned. “And
cleaning.”
“Yeah, I bet. What did flat
Frankie do?” I grabbed some veggies and chicken out of the fridge.
“Watched him,” she pushed herself
up on the island counter.
“Wow, that’s just, wow.” I grabbed
the skillet out of the cupboard and put it on the range. “What else did she
do?”
“She worked in her shop off the
back of the house.”
“Really, what did she do in this
shop?”
“Made stuff. Soap, candles and
fragrances.”
“Interesting,” And it was.
Listening to her talk about her dreams was so far from any conversation I had
ever had.
“She sold them online and was able
to take care of the ten kids.”
I dropped the knife I was using to
chop the water chestnuts and she laughed.
“Ten?”
“Well, to start. Flat Frankie
wanted more. Flat Jax was one hundred percent on board.”
“You do realize flat Jax had no
sense at all, right?”
“He couldn’t resist the
temptation.” She smiled and lifted her shirt, flashing me.
I tried not to react because, well
I have no idea why, because this shit wasn’t real, but her tits were.
“Flat Frankie isn’t so flat.” She
laughed. “You are kidding, right? I mean ten kids is sort of… insane.”
“Four.”
“Still a lot, Frankie. I mean, how
on earth would flat Frankie take care of flat Jax’s sexual desires with even
four kids running around raising hell?”
She grabbed a carrot and took a
bite. “Flat Jax got it whenever he wanted. Ergo the ten flat kids.”
“I see. Apparently flat Frankie
didn’t know the joy of swallowing.”
