I drove along the winding, suburb road that led to Andrew's house. He had called me over to spend our Friday night together to celebrate the end of finals. I was getting excited; we had been together three weeks now and I really wanted us to have sex. In fact, I couldn't wait for us to have sex.
This was the longest in a relationship I had ever gone without doing it, and though I was happy to respect Andrew's wishes, I was getting antsy. He seemed to want to make it really special when the time came, and tonight finally seemed to be the night. I loved the romance he was all about, but it wasn't often that a guy wanted to take things slow, and I wasn't used to it.
The roads were getting slippery. A heavy blizzard was coming down from the gray evening sky; the first snow of the year. As soon as I had gotten into my car, I turned the radio to Christmas songs and had been singing along for the whole drive. It was a perfect December night, and I felt the holidays all around.
Past houses decked out in rooftop reindeers and cobalt blue Christmas lights, I slowed and pulled up to Andrew's house. Quickly parking on the curb and hopping out of my car, I crunched through the accumulating snow and ran up the driveway, slipping as I went. I knocked on the door, wincing at the feeling of my frozen knuckles and rubbed them together, waiting.
"Hey! Get in here, you frozen girl." Andrew pulls me inside and shuts the door, pressing me against him with one arm. "Mmm. Hi." I soak up his body heat and he holds my ponytail, pulling my mouth to his. I wrap my arms around him and kiss him harder, fingering the collar of his sweater behind his neck. "I missed you." Andrew murmurs, and I close my eyes, savoring the feeling of his lips on my neck.
"I think we should skip dinner." I take his hands, eager to share my body with his. "Not so fast, I made us spaghetti and I'm very proud of it." Andrew trails his index finger along my collarbone. "Besides, it's better when you wait." I stare at him, hoping I can make it through dinner.
