Once again the sunlight came through the open curtains and woke me. We seem to have been too occupied to worry about them last night – again. I looked over at the clock – 6:00 A.M.. I'll need to remember next time – they're getting in the way of sleep.
I was feeling the warmth from Sue's body as she lay curled around me. How marvelous that small item is – waking up next to someone you care about. She was still asleep. As I looked at her I knew that I was really falling for her and it wasn't just the remarkable sex. She had the most beautiful and soft face– no concerns and no problems causing wrinkles or frowns as she slept. Her lips were slightly pursed and she was making this humming noise that sounded like purring. It wasn't like snoring, a sound that comes from the head and throat, but it was like a cat that had found a comfortable place in ones lap and nodded off while letting the lap know it was happy. It was soft, gentle music that created incredible desire for her to be near.
Her hair was pushed back, her makeup had been washed off the night before, and she looked absolutely stunning as the sunlight kissed her cheek. She was not only physically beautiful, she was smart, had a quick sense of humor, could carry on a conversation, and held her own in a duel of the minds. How did I know this after only 36 hours? I haven't a clue! I just knew.
She stirred and rolled over to her other side pulling the covers with her and leaving me without any. Ah, I thought, a flaw. I took the opportunity to gently leave and head for the bathroom in her room so as not to disturb her. It was strange to see her makeup and whatever strewn all over the counter. But what was interesting is to smell her scent everywhere. Intoxicating.
I opened the door and there she was again. I don't know how she does that.
"Need to use this place – go use your own!" she said with a sleepy smile. She pushed me out and closed the door. I guess she wasn't interested in having me see her pee.
I went over to mine and washed my face and brushed my teeth for a long time. As I was combing my hair I felt a pair of hands gently caress my back followed by a light and wet kiss to my shoulder.
"Hmmmm – nice" I said softly.
"Yes it is and yes you are." Was all she responded. I turned to face her and realized she was crying.
"Hey what's wrong?"
"It's Sunday and we have to go home soon."
"It's OK, there will be other times soon, I promise you!" I took her hands and guided us back to bed. I propped up some pillows and she settled in under my shoulder, her head on my chest and her arms around me. She was holding on tight and I could tell she was sobbing quietly.
She looked up at me. "John, did you mean what you said last night before we went to sleep. I won't hold you to it, if it was in the heat of the moment, but I was wondering."
"Are you sure you aren't a witch?" I asked with a smile and stroking her hair. "I was just thinking that myself. I know I have fallen for you, so yes, I meant it!"
"So did I and that scares me. How could you penetrated my heart so easily? You didn't say anything special to me other than 'hello'! It's not like we've dated for a long time."
"Maybe that's why. Had you talked to me, you might have lost interest!"
"Not - I serious! I was yours from the moment I saw you walk into the room on Friday. It was a combination of a purely physical and emotional response. I was even intrigued beforehand because I was on the Nominating Committee. So what is it about you that has captured me so easily? I have been known as the ice queen on quite a few occasions!"
"Sue I don't know. What I do know is you have done the same thing to me. When I first woke up this morning, the first thing that crept into my mind was my feelings about you and not just about our incredible sexual compatibility. I decided, while you were purring in my ear, that you are everything I have always wanted in a woman. What scares me is I don't know how I could possibly know!"
"I know how we can find out if you are willing to give up this morning's planned activities and follow me home. I live alone so we can always... you know."
"OK. But on one condition."
"Anything you want!"
"That's a dangerous offer!"
"Not really. For some reason I know I can trust you with everything, including my heart. You've already treated my body to wonderful things!"
"OK, you have to promise me to come down to my house and spend the weekend next week. I have a boat and an island cove I want to share with you."
"Is that all?"
"No, I also need a galley slave and a boat maid." She punched me and then kissed my chest.
