It had been a long winter and it was finally starting to get warm, I grabbed a light jacket and decided to go for a walk in the park. I picked up my phone, turned the music on, plugged the headphones in and set off to the park.
A few people were walking around and most of the benches were empty, so I decided to sit for a bit and enjoy the scenery. I was leaning back against the bench with my eyes closed, it felt so good with the sun beaming down.
Something blocked the sun, casting a shadow over me. I opened my eyes and was startled when I saw a man standing in front of me. He was very handsome, at least six foot tall. He was wearing a black suit and tie, I could barely keep my eyes off him. I removed my headphones and asked how I could be of assistance.
He smiled and asked if he could join me.
I looked along the bench and said, "Yes."
He sat looking at me.
"I'm sorry to bother you," he said, "but I just took a chance, hoping you'd talk to me. I'd like to get to know you. My name is James."
"Do you always come up to strange women like this?" I asked.
He smirked. "Actually, no. This is the first time. Not to brag, but I always have girls trying to throw themselves at me and I saw an opportunity to meet a beautiful woman."
My face started to turn red at that, and I turned away from him. He reached over and gently took hold of my chin, guiding me to face him again. His eyes and smile were intoxicating. He cleared his throat and asked, "May I have the pleasure of your company at dinner tonight?"
I was speechless. I wasn't anything special, and I thought this guy could have just about any woman he wanted. Why me? I was dressed in an old pair of jeans, sweater, boots, and a jacket. I'm only five-foot-four inches and a hundred pounds.
"I gladly accept your invitation," I managed to tell him.
He asked me to write my address for him, so I did. He smiled at me, stood and leaned in to kiss my cheek. When he was upright he said, "I'll be by to pick you up at eight sharp. Be ready."
I smiled and nodded as he walked away.
I sat there amazed at what just happened. Realizing it was already a little after six, I quickly hurried home.
I took off my jacket when going into the bedroom and started rummaging through my clothes looking for something appropriate to wear. I chose a black pencil skirt that nearly reached my knees with a white blouse to go with it. Then, of course, I had to find my white lace bra and panties. I was nervous trying to pull myself together. I laid the clothes on my bed and went into the bathroom to shower.
Afterwards, I dried and dressed. I put on a pair of black heels and went downstairs. It was close to eight already and I had butterflies in my stomach.
At eight sharp, there was a knock on the door. I brushed my skirt down and opened the door. He was standing there in a different suit, but just as handsome. "You look absolutely beautiful," he said.
I blushed again. He took my arm as we left the house. He opened the car door for me, then got in and drove for about half-an-hour to a very nice restaurant. He pulled up and came around quickly to open my door, once again taking my arm as we walked inside.
He spoke to the host. We were then seated at a very nice private table in the corner. We talked through dinner about anything and everything. I felt very comfortable around him and really didn't want the night to end. After just over two hours of sitting, eating, and talking, he motioned for the waiter to settle the bill.
He then stood, extending his hand to me. I took his hand, stood, and we walked arm-in-arm out of the restaurant. His car was already waiting for us and he drove me back to my house. We sat for a minute, and then he asked if he could see me again.
I gave him my number and told him, "I'd like that very much."
He got out of the car, and opened my door, held my hand to help me out. He lightly hugged me and softly kissed my cheek.
"Thank you for a wonderful evening," I said.
"It's been my pleasure to spend it with you," he said before getting back into his car and driving off.
I went into the house and sat on the sofa, kicked off my shoes, and smiled.
After a couple of days, I realized that I only know his first name. I have no way of contacting him. My mind has been on that evening ever since, and all I can do is sit and wait to hear from him. A week passed, and I heard nothing.
I'm sitting on my couch in my sweats and a t-shirt watching TV, when I hear a knock on the door. I walk over to the door while asking who's there. To my surprise I hear his voice saying, "It's James."
I get nervous and ask him to wait just a second. I rush to the mirror to take my hair down and do my best not to look so frazzled. I hurry back to the door. Unlocked it. As I open it and see him standing there looking so handsome, I can't help but smile. I move aside asking him to come in and make himself comfortable.
We sit on the sofa as you look over at me then ask, "Would you like to go out this evening, I'll give you time to prepare yourself?"
I smile as I say, "Yes, I'd love to."
I excuse myself to my room to get ready for another remarkable night.
Hurrying as fast as I can so not to have you waiting long for me. I quickly fix myself up, change into my black skirt and blouse, with red lace bra and panties. Walking back into the living room carrying my heels. You stand and walk over.
I can feel how nervous I've become and smile telling you, "I'm ready."
I lean down and put my shoes on.
You take my arm as we walk outside to your car. You help me inside, then you get in.
In the car we talk about our hobbies and all the different things we like.
I realize you have been driving for awhile and ask where we are heading tonight?
You look over and smile at me, telling me we're almost there.
We come upon a black gate surrounded by nothing but trees and flowers. The driveway takes a good five minutes to reach the end of it.
There sits this beautiful cabin with a wraparound porch. You pull up and we get out of the car. You take my arm as we walk to the door. Just as we reach it, it opens. A gentleman in a black suit greets us.
As we walk in, I can't help but look around. It's all wood, and extremely beautiful. The fireplace is in the living room, and there is a soft fur carpet in front of it.
The gentleman that greeted you speaks, and my attention is turned back to you. "Dinner is ready," he says.
We walk into the dining area. You pull out the chair next to the one at the head of the table, and I sit down. As you sit next to me, I stutter trying to speak. Before I can get a word out, you welcome me to your home.
"It's beautiful. I didn't know we were coming here for dinner though," I smiled and said feeling a little unsure.
Just then another gentleman brings dinner out to us and asked if we desired some wine. Before I could say anything, you picked up my glass and he filled both before he left the room.
We sat and ate dinner. Had just general conversation.
After we finished, a woman walked out and started to clean up the table.
You rose and extended your hand for me to take. I followed behind into the living room. You guided me to the sofa and sat in the chair next to me.
You could tell it was a little unnerving to me, being there. You looked over at me and asked, "Would you like to see the rest of the cabin?"
I looked at you and I shook my head, "Yes."
Following behind you as we walked through the house, I thought it was amazing. The second floor had a pool table, a bar, and a hot tub on the deck outside.
We walked to the basement and there was an indoor pool with lounge chairs, and a door that led to the other half of the basement. I looked over at it. You said, "It isn't finished yet."
We went back upstairs, and I asked to use the restroom. We walked down a hallway to an open door. The tub was separate from the shower. The shower had three shower heads around the walls. I closed the door and stood in front of the mirror for a few minutes collecting my thoughts.
I walked back to the living room and the fire was lit, soft music was playing, and you were sitting in the chair. I walked over and sat on the edge of the couch.
I was about to speak, but the other gentleman walked into the room with another glass of wine.
"It's starting to get late, maybe I should be heading home now James," I said.
