Cherry the Cheerleader (chapter 7)

... question was more of statement. I said, “Eventually. Timing isn’t good right now—but yeah: I’m going to ask her eventually.” “What’s her name again? Cherry?” I confirmed with a nod and said, “Yeah; Cherry.” He asked, “You have that talk with her yet?” I shook my head and said, “With this girl, it won’t be necessary, Chief” Getting really serious, he said, “David—Don’t be an idiot! You’d better tell her how hard it can be to be the wife of a fireman! Every time you are on the job and she hears a siren, she’s going to be afraid for your life and that puts a lot of strain on her—and the marriage. Few women can take that for long.” Again I shook my head and replied, “That won’t matter, Chief.” He said, “What: you think because you two are in love that will be enough? Trust me David, the honeymoon ends eventually. When she is constantly living in fear—not knowing what danger you might be in—that stress is going to get to her and it will end up ripping you two apart! I know because it happened to me.” I looked at Chief a bit surprised because he never shared his personal life (as far as I knew). His advice always came in the form of what he’d seen happen to others; never to himself. Chief said, “Yeah: that’s right—I was married before—when I was a young kid like yourself.

I said, “Because: if she gets to that point, I’ll quit this line of work and find something else. And I’ll be happy to do that for her.” He nearly choked with laughter and said, “Shit, son: you went and got your ass kicked by cupid!” I grinned and said, “Maybe I did, Chief; maybe I did.” Chief turned red with laughter as he walked away while saying, “Get to work, lover-boy!” It was clear that the next few days (at a minimum) were going to be filled with jokes directed my way about my love life. And that thought didn’t bother me in the least: I knew what I had with Cherry and the jokes would be worth it. I found a few of the other guys and Brian was the first to notice me and welcome me back. They asked if I’d done anything ‘interesting’ while I was taking my time off and I kept things a bit ‘cryptic’ and said that I had kept myself busy. They smiled knowingly at me while nodding slightly and I was trying to figure out what they knew. Garry finally said to me, “Oh, come on! We know it was you!” “What was me?” I asked, unsure of what they could know about. The night of ‘naked capture the flag’ was all that was coming to mind and that was going to be pretty embarrassing if they found out about it. Brian said, “In the paper! It was you, right? With the fix for the intersection?” Shaking the night of ...
