I had known John for several years. We had worked together and had gotten to know each other quite well. He was a few inches taller than me with short, light brown hair, muscular build, and the nicest ass I had ever seen. We flirted casually around the office, but I didn't think anything of it, because he already had a girlfriend. We were friends outside of work, and we often met up, trips up to the cinemas, picnics in the park, or even just movie nights in front of my TV. One night, my relationship with John was taken to a whole new level.
It was late-ish, around 10pm. I was snuggled in on my couch, a storm raging outside my window. John was supposed to be going out to dinner with his girlfriend that night, so I certainly didn't expect it when he knocked on my door. I opened the door, and saw John standing there, soaked through. The flashes of lightning showed a thunderous expression on his face. "John? ...come in!" he slowly made his way into my living room, and sat on my couch. The expression on his face never changed once. I was kinda scared... I'd never seen John look this angry before.
"She's left me Kate... Says she's in love with some guy from the office! How could she leave me?!" he shouted, his voice wavered on the last sentence, as his eyes fill with water. I moved over to sit by him, hugging him.
"John, it was bound to happen... You guys have been having problems since I've known you! I'm sorry though..." I tried to console him. They'd been having relationship problems for a while, but I guess they were both too comfortable to break up.
After about half an hour, he'd calmed down a bit. I think he'd accepted it was better like this. He lifted his head off my chest, and noticed the damp patch he'd left on me. He was still soaking wet from the rain outside. "I'm sorry Kate, I didn't even realise!" he apologised.
"Its fine john, you had other things on your mind. Let me see if I can find you a dry shirt..." I stood up and walked to my storage cupboard. I had a few old shirts in there from when my brother used to stay. I picked up the nicest one, and headed back to the living room.
As I walked in the door, John was just peeling off his wet t-shirt. I was stopped in my tracks. I knew he looked good, but seeing him topless in my living room... Skin all wet and shiny from the rain. His muscles were defined, and he had a very nice tan. I stood for a while, admiring his body. Then he turned round and saw me staring... I quickly recovered, and stepped forward, apologising. "You know Kate... I'd always hoped that something would happen between us. I waited for some acknowledgment from you, and was soo ready to leave her. I gave up though when I saw you weren't interested..." he trailed off as he started playing with his wet t-shirt.
I couldn't help but giggle. The dreams I'd dreamt of him, the thoughts I'd thought, and the fantasies I'd fantasised about... I walked over to him, holding out the shirt. He stepping in closer, reached for the shirt with his right hand, as his left hand went to my waist. He threw the shirt to the chair, and raised his hand to gently touch my chin. It was then, looking into his eyes, that I knew things would be different. He slowly leant in to me, closing his eyes, and I felt his soft lips on mine. I closed my eyes, and seemed to melt into him. Feeling his chest so close to mine and his tongue diving into my mouth... my heart sped up and my legs seemed to turn to jelly. His arm wrapped around my waist, catching me, never breaking our kiss.
