FIRST STORY: PLEASE BE KIND AND PROVIDE CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM! Thank you!!! While inspired by real life all characters are made up and fictional!
It had been a long life of waiting for the right one to come along and take me off my feet then boom, all in an instant it changed. I'm a 26 year old guy with a pretty good job, I'm tall, roughly 6'3" with a strong build. The military really did a good job of getting me fit and laying down a great foundation. Anyways, I had been doing my nightly doom scrolling when I received a DM from an old flame.
I always considered her the one who got away. I understand why too we wouldn't last, I was stationed overseas and she was young, hot and ready to meet someone. After a torrid love affair on and off after boot camp while I was in training before leaving for my actual job in military we met. We met virtually one day but that same evening rendezvoused at a bar near by... Sam was her name. She was beautiful, the type of woman men fought wars for. Standing at around 5'6" she had an hour glass figure, larger C cups and a behind that would cause car accidents. With that, her body wasn't her best feature, she had this bleach blonde hair with blue eyes and very distinct nose. That face was one you could just melt in, every time she opened the door, I couldn't help but smile. After I got my orders I asked her to come with me but to no avail, asking a 21 year old at the time to pack up everything she's known and move thousands of miles away just wasn't feasible.
The next 4 years or so were fun for me, I loved being in the military. I was no stranger to a good time, explored areas of the world and myself I never thought I would. Always lingering was Sam in my head. I would check in on her social media from time to time to see how she was doing. After a couple of years of being out of any sort of committed relationship I started to miss being stateside and being with family. That's what ultimately got me to leave and take a job about an hour away from where I had went to military training before heading overseas. I had thought Sam would be around but figured it would have been some time and a girl like that doesn't stay on the market long. I gave up on the idea of her entirely until that evening when I got a DM from her.
She DM'ed me asking if I was in the area and wanted to get a drink and catch up. Obviously said yes immediately before even checking her profile to see if she had a whole family. Turns out by the looks of it she had a young daughter but no signs of husband or boyfriend. After some talking and very light flirting, we agreed to get drinks by her the upcoming weekend. Being honest the whole week was a blur, I was pretty busy learning all new systems and things at work all the way had Sam in the back of my head. I'd find myself thinking back to the way her body curved down to her thighs, the way her nose looked so beautiful even though she was self conscious about and yet I still had to get through a full week of working.
Saturday finally came and I started making my way down there. My head was racing so much I didn't even put on music for the whole car ride. By the time I had gotten to the bar I calmed my nerves a bit and convinced myself this is an old friend with a kid who is looking to just catch up. After waiting a couple of minutes and ordering a round she finally walked in. My god, my heart fluttered and instantly I knew this was the girl I loved but I would have to be cautious.
After exchanging the obvious pleasantries and catching up a bit we started talking just like old times. She told me all about how she met a guy about a year after I left that got her pregnant after a long night out of drinking. A would be life altering mistake turned her life around gave her purpose, the guy who knocked her up wasn't very much for being a father and left with no signs of returning. Sam mentioned she didn't mind as he wasn't a very good father or man in general. So it's been just the two of them the past couple of years, she got a good job as a nurse in the local hospital that keeps them comfortable. It was nice to hear she was doing well, also nice to hear that another guy wasn't in the picture. I caught her up on my life and she seemed very interested even though I was using all confusing military jargon to explain things like a bonehead. She understands as best as she could but put on a lovely smile to be agreeing.
While speaking I guess my eyes couldn't help themselves from eyeing her up and down. I thought I was making good eye contact but I guess not good enough because after about 15 minutes she stopped me and asked if I she had spilled something on her. I don't know what came over me but rather than playing it off, I simply said "Your body looks almost the same as it used too, but better. You look so warm and comfortable to the world, there's almost like a glow to you." Upon realizing what I had just said I immediately starting blushing when she admitted that she had been admiring my chest and arms from the moment she walked in. Her body certainly had changed because of child birth, her breasts were bigger, her hips and behind were bigger, nothing over the top but Sam had definitely become a woman while I was away. I was all about it. After a few rounds she invited me back to her place for a night cap.
After pouring us both a drink we sat and talked some more. Honestly felt like no time at all had passed since we last spoke. Her daughter was at the grandparents for the night so there was no risk of bothering anyone. Her place was very nice and tasteful, being on a nurses salary and only having to take care of one person really helps, especially with a built in baby sitter like grandparents. Years of OT had really paid off. Eventually after our drinks we hit a lull, once again I don't know what came over but I wasted no time and went to kiss her. Thank god she was thinking the same thing because without any hesitation she kissed back. My chest was lighting up with excitement like fireworks. I can't explain it but I felt like I was home.
