Chapter 2 - Noon
-------------
"The time is 7:43 am."
My little talking watch told me that it was acceptable to wake him up.
"Morning, Miles."
"Heeey, rubber girl."
I slid my arms around his torso to hug him tightly. I still couldn't believe this happened. After a false start in the park, I invited this guy over for a simple dinner then ended up wearing my full latex suit and making love to him. The best thing about all of this, he was still here.
"Thanks for cooking last night, I couldn't feel anything through those rubber gloves. I'm still embarrassed; I'm the one that invited you."
"Don't mention it, Alex. In the end, it was delicious."
Yeah, right. Not quite. Miles ruined my diner; he just didn't know how to cook. How could he turn my perfectly fine roast into such a dry lump of meat? The veggies were overcooked, and the rice was undercooked. But yet, I didn't say a word.
Yesterday, I wanted him to stay so badly and act around me as if I were a regular cute girl. He did and not once was bothered by the fact that I was a blind person. He treated me exactly how I dreamed of being treated. But, now what? I was almost scared to start talking, in case it would lead to the likely result of him leaving me. I just had to.
"Do... do you want to stay here this morning?"
"I can't. I have to go to work soon."
"Ah... Okay."
My heart sank a little bit. I heard that excuse before, and it was always hard to tell the veracity of such a reply. I could try to interrogate him to find out if it was genuine or not, but Miles didn't deserve this, not after all the respect he showed me. I knew that once he walked out of here, there wouldn't be any guarantee I would ever see him again or even have an opportunity to figure out if I loved him or not.
His next words were unexpected.
"When is your next day off? I would like to see you again," he asked.
"... You want... to see me again?"
"Well... Yes!?"
"..."
I could be so irrational sometimes when it came to dating. I was conscious of it and hated myself for it. The thing is that I had so many rejections, direct and indirect, and met so many people behaving oddly around me because of my handicap, that it became a nasty habit of mine to think things would inevitably go wrong.
When did I stop believing that someone could be seriously interested in me? I didn't do this on purpose; Life simply conditioned me. I supposed that even people who could use all their senses could feel this way occasionally, but I couldn't help but think being sightless was making things just a bit harder for me.
Miles interrupted my wreckless train of thought.
"Sorry, Alex. You don't need to justify yourself. I didn't think you only wanted a one night stand, that's all. A lot of people do things this way nowadays."
"WHAT? NO! Miles! Of course, I want to see you again."
"So, what is it then?"
"Nothing... I just... you know..."
"I... don't."
I groaned. Why was I not able to have a rational discussion with this guy? Could he not understand why I was reacting this way? I felt my body being lifted and dragged on top of him. Males can be so scary strong sometimes.
"Alex, you are confusing me. Just tell me what you think of me, and I'll tell you what I think of you. Deal? Then we will know where we stand."
"... I guess... Sure. Mmm... I think you are nice."
"What? That's it?"
"I don't know... Well, you treated me well. You were respectful. You didn't judge me."
"Oh, you are very wrong about that last part. I'm totally judging you. You are lying on top of me wearing a full latex catsuit."
"Oh! So, what? You think I'm a whore because of that?"
"Hehe. Alex the Whore has a nice ring to it, but no. I think you are friendly, funny, mysterious. But a little bit of a scaredy-cat."
"What do you mean, a scaredy-cat? I let a stranger in my house and wore a latex suit in front of him. I'm brave."
"You had security behind you this whole time, and you are a pervert, so you were happy doing it. You liked it so much that you even shoved a large dildo between your legs."
I buried my face inside his chest. This was so embarrassing. I much preferred only to address the former argument.
"Being cautious doesn't make me a scaredy-cat!" I said with a muffled voice.
"You are scared I will leave and not come back."
"Yeah, so what? You were nice. A girl can dream, no?"
I slid my rubber hands under his shoulder and pressed myself on his chest even more. I could feel his heart beating. He was so calm. I decided to take a leap of faith to end this suspense.
"Miles, I would like to go out with you for a while."
"I would like that too."
***
I've been dating Miles for the past three weeks. We didn't see each other a whole lot because of our work schedules, but it was good. He wanted to take things slow anyway. His previous relationship was still bugging him quite a bit, but he never acted weird around me because of it. Maybe I sensed a tiny bit of awkwardness when he wanted to make sure not to hurt me if things went sideways. I just thought he was protective of me, which was not a bad thing.
His overall attitude was fantastic; he didn't give a shit if my normal was different than most people. He let me live my life as usual without trying to help me through it, particularly at my place where I didn't need him to do anything at all. The only time I requested his assistance was when the bottle of lube slid off my hands and magically vanished without a sound.
The one thing I was not too sure about was if he liked latex more than I did. When not going out, he was quite pushy and wanted me to wear my catsuit all the time. I had no problem with wearing it for him if it was making him happy, but I didn't like the pushy part.
That said, I never had so much fun turning into a rubber girl. He liked it, and so did I; we were mostly on the same page. We would get to know each other better over time to fine-tune the rest.
We had quite a bit of sex too, I mean... a lot of it. If someone had told me three weeks ago that I would have willingly turned myself into a rubber sex machine, I would have had some reservations. It was all good and fun and tonight was going to be even better; we would be going out to somewhere special.
"Club Fox & Spice!" Miles said.
"What the hell is that? I've never heard of it."
"It's a fetish club. I would like to take you there. You would be able to try new fun things."
"What kind of things?"
"Mmm... Not sure I want to tell you, it would spoil the experience."
