Nagging feeling

530 Words
“How about I go change and do a little packing and meet you in town. I suppose we really shouldn’t wake the pastor up right now.” I sighed and said, “I suppose not. Okay.” She hopped out of the truck and ran for the house. I watched her go smiling. The Lord sure did work in mysterious ways. I started my truck and eased out of concealment and started down the road. It certainly had been a day of extremes. Now however, I found myself smiling from ear to ear. That all changed though, as from within I had a nagging feeling that something is about to happen ***** Samantha’s p.o.v Samantha flipped light switches on and threw off her pajamas and quickly donned a bra and a pair of boy shorts. She snapped on a blouse and pulled on a skirt. A skirt seemed more appropriate for a wedding than the pants that she usually wore. Then in a mixture of smiles and happy tears she slammed the majority of her clothing into two suitcases. This cabin was very nice, but she’d rather live with Steph in his little shack any day of the week. It was all she could do to snap the suitcases closed as she hadn’t taken the time to place her clothing appropriately in order to make room for closure. “There, it’s done!” Seizing the handles she turned toward the door and abruptly dropped both suitcases. There was a man standing in the doorway and it wasn’t Stephen. The big man grinned oafishly at her and said, “I come to play with you.” Meeting his gaze Samantha very calmly said, “No, I don’t think so buddy.” He frowned at that and was about to say something when a big fist came out of nowhere and sent him crashing into the side of the doorway. The fist strikes kept coming and the intruder had no chance of mounting a comeback as the savage hits resounded with bone crushing force over and over. Within 30 seconds the man was a pile of smashed up pulp on the floor. ********* Breathing heavy I blinked away the hazy blood wrath that had overcome me and left off beating the man before I killed him. I wiped at the sweat on my face and took in the imagery of Samantha calmly standing in her bedroom not having moved an inch from her original spot. She smiled and said, “I’m ready to go Honey. Do you think big stud that you are, you could bring my bags.” She headed for the door and moved past me and I glanced back towards her bags. “Don’t worry about him I’m calling the police now.” Numbly, I nodded and moved forward to pick up her bags. The girl had a plan and at the moment I was content to follow it. We gave our statements at the town office and as the sun came up we were married. It had been a sleepless night to be sure, and yet I wasn’t tired right now.Samantha lay back in my arms, gazing at me as if she was the cat that had eaten the canary.
