The Meeting
We've all been there at one time; a friend has a party invites you and you just know she's trying to set you up with someone.
The night arrives and I say what the heck I have nothing else to do and there will be food and wine.
I dress in a nice tight cotton black dress; I may as well look sexy.
I sweep my hair up in a loose bun and apply some makeup.
I get to the party make my usual hellos how are you to the small crowd gathered.
I walk in the room where the food is; I turn around and bump into Him.
I turn around say I'm sorry, but I can't help but stare. He's someone I have never seen before handsome well put together. We smile than begin the small talk. His Name Is Shawn he works out with Jim. I tell Him my name is Ashley and Jill and I go way back.
I ask Him if he was invited to "meet a really good friend who is single." He chuckles and says "You too?"
We spend most the evening talking laughing there is something about Him that draws me to Him I don't know what it is.
I realize the time and say my goodbyes.
He asks for my number and without hesitation I give it to him.
Jim and Jill smile to me as I leave I smile back, thinking to myself it wasn't too bad after all.
I get home and look at my answering machine there are already 5 messages from him, I laugh I didn't think He'd call so soon, then the phone rings again.
My stomach gets knotted Oh My God I think what do I do? What do I say? I reach for the phone "Hello" I say softly.
The voice on the other end is His "Hello Ashley I hope you don't mind that I called so soon."
"No not at all I answer, I'm glad You did."
Oh God that was stupid to say I think to myself.
"Ashley I want to get to know you all about you there is nothing I want for you to keep from me. Do you understand? Above everything I expect Honesty."
"Yes Shawn I too feel the same way."
As we continue with small getting to know each other talk, i undress getting comfortable then he surprises me with his next questions.
"Ashley do you masturbate?"
I almost choke no one has ever asked me that question my even my best girlfriends. With me not answering He must have figured it was a yes.
"What do you Ashley?"
"Uhmmmm Shawn I I I don't know what to say."
