Chapter 2: Our First Time
Three and a half months have gone by since we first met. We saw each other as often as we could. We talked every day. You had become an important part of my life. The winter was unseasonably warm up until New Year’s weekend. A bad snowstorm was in the forecast. We both were scared that if I waited until Saturday to go to visit you, I wouldn’t be able to make it. It was decided; I was going up on Friday.
We had a wonderful evening together. Then again, we always do. I had grown to care a great deal for you and knew I was falling for you in a way that I had only read about. I knew I had never felt like this before and it scared me a bit.
We just relax. It feels so great to be with you again. Spending Thanksgiving and Christmas apart was really difficult for me. The holidays are times when people who care about each other should be together. Of course we both had responsibilities to our children and families that kept us apart. The Christmas card you sent me made me cry. Remember what it said? I do and I’ll remember it forever. “This is the last Christmas we’ll spend apart.” I couldn’t help but cry when I read that. It really comforted me to know that you felt the same about me.
Your roommate is at home, but that didn’t bother me. We exchanged Christmas gifts. I still can’t drink a cup of tea without thinking about how special you are. Oh and the Auden poems are simply the best. I read them often and always think of you.
You take my hand and we go to your room where you just hold me so tight. It’s dark outside now and the only light in the room is very faint. Your smile shines and really lights up the room. It’s cold, but I’m burning with a fire that can’t be extinguished.
You kiss me and say that you’ll be right back. This gives me an idea, but I have to hurry. I turn on the light and quickly shed my jeans and sweater. I slip on a long, red, silk nightgown. I love the way silk feels against my bare skin. It’s so soft and sensuous. I lay down on your bed on my side facing the door. It seems like forever before you return, but I know it was only a couple of minutes.
The look on your face is everything that I could’ve hoped for. You ask me to stand up and the gown falls gracefully over my body. I’m finding it hard to breathe because the excitement is growing inside me.
