She came to me in the middle of the night. It had been years since I had seen her. We had worked together at a job I had years ago. I had wanted her from the first time I saw her. We had become friends but there was no way that I would let myself get physically involved. I was married and she was single and we moved in different worlds other than work. We got along well and she knew that I wanted her. We would flirt and have a good time but we both knew it would never go anywhere and that flirting was all there was to be between us.
I have dreamed about her over the years. Even sat back and developed and enjoyed a fantasy on occasion. Back when we worked together we had even shared some of these as flirting. As the years went by I was certain that I would never see her again much less have her.
Traveling for work causes me to spend many hours alone after work away from home. In order to stay out of trouble I have developed a habit of enjoying my time alone. Not being afraid to eat or go to movies alone. Staying away from bars and strip joints that some of my co-workers enjoyed, etc. This night I planned on dinner and a movie. I was eating a light dinner when I noticed just a glimpse of a girl that looked familiar. My mind jumped back to her. I jumped up and went to look in the parking lot where I thought I saw her but there was no one there.
I finished dinner and then went to the movie theater. I bought a ticket and went in side and stopped to get a drink and some popcorn. As I turned from the counter, I thought I saw her again. Headed into the bathroom. I waited about 10 minutes to see if she came out but no one I recognized did. I asked a girl to tell me if someone was in the bathroom and she told me it was empty. At this point I am figuring that I am just road weary and tired.
I went to the movie. It was pretty good and I had just about forgotten my brain playing tricks on me. As I was driving out of the parking lot I saw her again. I quickly turned the car around and drove to where I saw her. No one. I was then convinced that I was very, very tired and I headed to the hotel to go to bed and be ready for travel the next day.
I managed to make it to the hotel and into my room without seeing her again, or thinking I saw her. I got ready for bed and lay down and cut the light out. I stretched out on my back and reminisced about her and enjoyed some old memories from the time I knew her. Slowly I drifted off to sleep.
I am walking through a park. There are trees, a pond with a fountain, pasture and walking trails. It is late afternoon in the fall. The air is crisp but not cold. The leaves are turning and there is a nice breeze blowing the already fallen leaves across the path that I am on. As I am looking around and walking I see someone coming toward me on the path. It is her. She is smiling and walking to me. We come together in a friendly embrace of old friends and share a light kiss on the cheek. We walk and talk to catch up with each other. Where have we been, what have we been doing, etc.
Our conversation slowly becomes more intimate as time goes by. The setting sun seems to just hang in the sky not moving. We have been talking for hours but the scene has not changed. It is then that I become aware that this is a dream and that I am asleep in my hotel room. I don't want to wake up but I can't help it. It happens to all of us. We wake just a little and come out of the fog of a dream. Often we want it back but rarely does it work. I become aware of the bed, the room, the AC running and the light from the bathroom that it is my habit when I travel to leave on.
I am almost heart broken from waking and losing the dream. As I lay there I can still feel the path under my feet, feel the breeze and smell the air from the park. I can even hear her voice as she talks to me. I roll over and determine that I am going back to sleep to continue this dream. It is rare that I can do this but this dream was worth searching for. I slowly drifted back off to sleep.
I am in the park walking with her again. Our conversation continues to get more intimate. We move closer as we talk so others will not hear. As we talk we both reach out and hold hands as we walk. Soon we are arm in arm and we both recognize that we are going to love each other this day. She looks up to me and we stop on the path and turn toward each other. I reach for her face and take it gently between my hands and hold it. She reaches up around my neck and pulls me down toward her.
Our lips meet in a tentative kiss, almost as if we don't want to do it for fear of exploding. We have both wanted this but never dared dream that we could have it. Out touch becomes more overpowering. The kiss is not tentative any longer. She pulls me closer and her mouth opens and invites me in. Out tongues touch and the thrill is electric. It is almost like a static shock on a cold winter day. Our bodies move together as we kiss. This seems to go on forever but could only have been a minute.
We reluctantly move apart and look at each other. No words pass our lips but we know it is going to happen today, finally. Now! Holding hands we turn from the path and walk into the trees. We are looking for a private place. We walk a short distance and push through a low hedge. On the other side we break out into a small clearing. It seems like a room in the woods. As we stand surprised by it, we see a hammock strung between two trees near the middle of the space. This is just too much β but then it is a dream...
We move to the hammock. Then suddenly I am aware of my hotel room momentarily. As if I am going to wake up again. It seems like a light comes on or a door opens β something. I am determined not to lose this dream and I go back to it. Success, I am back in the hammock with her. We are kissing and embracing. Trying anything to slow down. Our bodies are pushing hard against each other. All the passion of years of flirting is breaking free and over powering us.
I stand up next to the hammock and pull her to her feet next to me. I want to undress her slowly. I want to slow the pace down. I am about to lose all control.
The woods and the hammock slowly morph into my hotel room and I am standing with her in front of me and the bed next to us instead of the hammock. It seems real but I now this is just a change of location in a dream. I accept it and sit on the edge of the bed because my knees are too week to stand. I slowly move her into place in front of me. I unbutton her blouse slowly and reveal in the exposed softness of her exposed flesh. As more skin come available I kiss and touch it. As her tummy is exposed I pull her close to me and reach around and unclasp her bra. Pushing her back a little I reach to the front and lift the bra over her breasts and expose them to me. As the come free from the underwear I marvel at the wonderous form of her. She is perfect. Her nipples are hard and sticking out like pencil erasers. Hard and waiting for me. I move my mouth to her nipple and take it in. I lick and suck on it like it is the best candy in the world while massaging the other one. I move her breasts together so that I can take both nipples into my mouth. This is heaven.
